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.

TO CHEERFULNESS.
THE Hunter on the mountain's brow, The rosy youth from study free, Ne'er breath'd, O Cheerfulness! a vow More fond, than I have breath'd to thee. Yet sometimes, if in lonely hour I leave thy lov'd, enchanting bower, By glooms of wayward fancy driven; And from thee turn my languid eyes, Nor longer deem thy pleasure wise, Oh! be my suffering heart forgiven.
Not always can the varying mind Bear to thy shrine an homage true; Some chains mysterious seem to bind, Some sullen sorcery to subdue: Not always can the scene be gay, Nor blest the morrow as to-day, And musing thoughts will sadness bring; Can time so near me hourly fly, Nor I his passing form descry, Nor ever hear his rustling wing?
E'en now I feel with vain regret, How soon these happy days must end; Already seems my sun to set, As mark the shades of eve descend; The vista catch, where sorrow grey And weary pain are on their way; Beyond, with startled glance I see The billows dark, the fated shore, The forms that sink and rise no more, The ocean of eternity."
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE, Between the ministers of France and Austria, prior to the commencement of hostilities.
[CONTINUED.]
No. 6.
Letter from count de Champagny to count de Metternich. BORDEAUX, July 30, 1808.
Mr. Ambassador,
I have received your letter of the 22d July, and as it was not confidential, I conceived that by shewing it to his majesty the emperor, I should not go beyond your intentions. His majesty appeared to be so well satisfied with it, as to induce me to think he would determine to revoke some defensive measures, such as the armaments of places in Silesia which he was about to order. But it becomes me to tell you, with freedom, that at the same time that your letter produced this good effect, a very different impression was created by letters received at the same time from Munich and particularly from Dresden. What grieves us is not so much what is said of your armament, as the details of the direction given to the public spirit in the Austrian states. On the banks of the Toplitz at Carlsbad, at Egra, nothing is breathed but war. One hopes that this is the moment to commence it with success: another says that the Spanish peasants, excited to a fanatic frenzy by the priests, had destroyed the whole French army in Spain; that the French army in Germany does not at the utmost exceed 100,000 men; that of Italy is sufficient to suppress a new insurrection in Calabria, and to appease the troubles supposed to exist in Dalmatia and the Ionian isles.
It was by fables such as these that Prussia was last year induced to adopt a resolution so disastrous for her. The agents of England, who precipitated her into total ruin, have the same employment now in Austria; they wish to drag her into measures, the consequences of which cannot be foreseen, to make her raise armaments so enormous that she could not sustain the weight of them and which would bring on a war by the suspicion excited abroad and by the ferment created within. The people are told of dangers awaiting them; they are called to the defence of their country; they are put into motion, and they will soon be carried by that motion whithersoever those, who have given the impulse, may think proper to direct them. The wisest men in your monarchy will not be able to resist the torrent. The noise of war imprudently raised, will not in vain resound within and without. Do you require a proof of the effect? Look at what has taken place at Trieste; see the militia of that place running thro' the streets, insulting French and Italian travellers, even in the houses—see them assembling to the number of 1500 men around the French consul's house, and insulting him by the most outrageous proposals, and
in short renewing the scene exhibited at Vienna in relation to gen. Bernadotte. Observe the city police, whom I suppose more weak than malevolent, remaining all this time inactive, and in the end endeavoring to extenuate the injuries they did not prevent or suppress, much less punish. See how, without intending it, we thus find ourselves on the eve of a war.
Do you desire another proof? Two French couriers, carrying dispatches to Dalmatia, have been stopped and their dispatches carried off. The emperor attributes this to nothing but popular ferment, which your new measures have created.
Without doubt, sir, Austria had a right to make such a change in her military establishment as she thought proper—but have such changes ever been made in a time of peace with so much precipitation? Was it necessary in April that every thing should be finished by the 1st July, as if at that time war was to commence? To put in a moment, 400,000 men under arms in addition to the force already composing the standing army—exercise and equip them, as if the danger was imminent and consequently a war inevitable? Could these things be witnessed without suspecting that Austria had some project in contemplation? It is certain, sir, that, after such an impulse being given to the public opinion, and the ferment it must produce if no step of a contrary character should be taken, war will be inevitable: it will take place in opposition to the wishes of the two emperors, of their ministers, and of all the wise men in both nations.
You tell me, sir, of fears that have been excited by the formation of camps in the countries occupied by French troops—but do you not know that it is the custom of French armies on foreign duty, and that in certain parts of Italy they remain in camp the whole year? Most certainly the emperor would have ordered those camps to be broken up at the idea that they excited uneasiness. But mark the conduct of the emperor, in other respects. Has he not dismantled the fortress of Silesia? Has he left a single cannon or grain of corn in one of them? Has he not surrendered Brannau? Has he taken a single step, that could be considered to originate in hostile views against Austria?
You speak of the language or purposes of our soldiery, and what do they avail? Has it not ever been the language of soldiers of all countries? Do they not consider themselves bound in honor to wish for war, and do they not express hopes of a war because they desire it? If you have any fears why do you not inform us of them? You have never said a word to me on the subject. At Vienna, not a sentence of the kind has been uttered to general Andreossy.
Do you wish to be satisfied and at rest with regard to the dispositions of France? Every assurance you can require shall be given. Do you wish the camps of Silesia to be broken up? They shall be broken up. Do you wish the orders, that have been given to furnish the fortress of Silesia, to be countermanded? They shall be revoked. Do you wish the provisioning of Palma-Nova to cease? It shall be discontinued. The most solemn and public declarations shall be given you, respecting our sentiments and views, if you desire them. They shall be such, that every idea of an attack from France will be shown to be evidently ridiculous: But—on your side, stop, recall, measures manifestly hostile and menacing, incompatible with the actual condition of Europe, with the security it is in need of—measures that have banished every hope of a general peace, and which are so inconsistent with the character and principles of your emperor.
You see that we are not deceived by false reports, and wish to remain free from such an infatuation. If you entertain similar dispositions the intrigues of the agitators of Europe will be soon frustrated and the continent will remain at peace. Austria herself desires war, as her armaments indicate, and she will engage in it—or she is led astray by the advice of the enemies of the continent—but in this case the offers which I have made you, should open her eyes, as they do not leave the least pretext for her immense preparations.
I wish, sir, a prompt answer to this letter, and I will tell you why: the emperor had no idea of raising conscripts this year; but, since, the whole of the Austrian force is put under arms, he hesitates, and does not wish the month of August to pass without making a proposition on the subject to the senate. He wishes to be satisfied on this subject. For a long time he has made it a point not to disregard what has the appearance of improbability. He knows how the passions can blind and mislead, and with what facility they are made the sport of men who have been accustomed to agitate the continent by their intrigues. He recollects that Prussia was so much duped as to be made to believe
that the French army, actually 300,000 strong, did not exceed 100,000, and altho' that army was encamped almost within the dependent territories of Prussia. England pushes on the war without cessation, but events will avail her very little; her fate will be decided, as soon as she shall be effectually out-lawed from the continent.
I have spoken to you of the affair at Trieste. It is useless to require satisfaction from you: the emp. Napoleon believed he might expect from the emperor Francis, such satisfaction as he would have gladly given, had such a scene been witnessed in any place where he had any authority.
You will, sir, find in this letter that language, at once firm, sincere, and pacific, which I always used to you. It is to you I am always fond of expressing it, to you who have dwelt among us, to you who must well know that the propositions I make to you, for averting the most distant appearances of war, are not dictated by weakness or apprehension. You know our situation, and I can say to M. de Metternich, what it would be useless to say to the Austrian ambassador. Our grand army is stronger than ever—that and the army of Italy are double what they were in 1806—the troops of the confederation of the Rhine can be speedily reunited, and 60,000 men are now stationed in the interior, at Strasburg, Mayence, and Cassel—We have reason to believe, therefore, that a war with Austria could not but terminate fortunately for us.
We do not, then, dread war—but we wish to avoid it. We do not wish for war, because we have no motive for it, we have no end to accomplish, we have no grievance to redress, and we do not desire any thing which Austria possesses—because many political considerations dictate, that it is the interest of France and Austria to preserve the power they now have—in short, we wish for peace, because the emperor wishes to spare the blood of men, it gives him no pleasure to see it, and because he does not wage war from any pleasure that it affords him.
Stop then, sir, those movements in the Austrian monarchy, that, if continued, will inevitably produce war: they should be stopped by a movement directly opposite: the propositions I make to you afford your government every facility for this end. If, in spite of those pacific offers, if, notwithstanding all the steps taken with a desire to remain at peace with your government, war should take place, we will carry it on with the more vigor, since we shall be driven into it, and whatever may be the unhappy consequences they cannot be imputed to us.
In closing this letter, sir, I have the pleasure to announce to you, that the early return of his majesty to the capital, will enable me to renew to your excellency the assurances, &c.
(Signed)
CHAMPAGNY.
LANCASTER (Penn.) July 7.
Tuesday last being the Anniversary of American Independence, it was celebrated in this borough by the friends of the Constitution, at the house of Mr. Henry Reigart. An excellent dinner and the choicest of liquors were furnished in a handsome style. Every heart was expanded—every bosom felt the throb of patriotism. It was indeed "the feast of reason and the flow of soul."
Mr. Lloyd, senator of the United States, and Messrs. Upham and Pickman, representatives in Congress, from the state of Massachusetts, being in town, were waited upon by the managers and honored the company with their presence.
John Hubley, Esq. was appointed to the chair, and William Montgomery, Esq. vice-president.
The following toasts were drank: The Day—The blood of our patriots flowed for the principles it proclaimed—Disgrace to the Americans who would renounce them.
2. The Patriots who achieved our Independence—Gratitude & respect towards the departed and the living are engraven on our hearts. Posterity will do justice to their merits, whilst it will frown indignant upon those who would usurp their glory.
3. The United States of America—The last hope of freedom—May it not be a forlorn hope.
4. The Constitution of the United States and of the State of Pennsylvania—Political perdition to him who would imagine the destruction of either. [3 cheers.]
5. The Altar of American Independence—rendered sacred by the blood of our fathers—May it become the altar of death whenever it ceases to be the sanctuary of freedom.
6. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania—May the good sense of her citizens soon
restore her to her former standing as a Key-stone of the Confederation."
7. The Administration of the Government of the United States—If directed by clear heads and sound hearts, it will insure respect abroad and prosperity at home. Let old things pass away.
8. JAMES MADISON, President of the United States—Honor to the man whose only aim is the interest and happiness of the nation. Disgrace and infamy to him who would sacrifice the nation on the altar of popularity.
9. Our Sister States—Members of the same family—May we be united in interest and affection.
10. The memory of Gen. WASHINGTON—His bones are consigned to the tomb, May his spirit preside in the council of our country. [3 cheers.]
11. An Independent Judiciary—Not swayed by threats nor rewards; hating knaves and the security of honest men in perpetuity to it.
12. Agriculture and Commerce—These are equally the natural rights of man—Independent America never again see one languish and the other held in fee by weak rulers, or wicked foreign nations.
13. Domestic Manufactures—Under fostering care of government they will prosper; but can never flourish by coercion.
14. The Press—A good servant, a bad master—May its freedom remain unimpaired; but may it never be encouraged in proscribing private character, or dictating measures to the representatives of a nation.
15. Useful Knowledge—The only sufficient antidote to the machinations of designing anarchists and disorganizers—its dissemination soon receive legislative support.
16. The American People—Animated by the love of liberty, may they never part with their inheritance.
17. The Ladies—Second only to the men in country, when their smiles are not given to its foes.
VOLUNTEERS.
By Mr. Lloyd. The Federal gentlemen of Lancaster—May they long enjoy, and they eminently are entitled to, the high respect and affection of their federal brethren throughout the union.
By Mr. Pickman. Lasting and uninterrupted prosperity to the borough of Lancaster.
After the gentleman from Massachusetts had retired, the following toast was drunk with the honors of the table.
Our worthy guests—Messieurs Lloyd, Pickman and Upham—faithful and intelligent representatives of an enlightened people—Success to them.
BALTIMORE, July 12.
A WARNING.
A melancholy accident took place in a city a few days since. A gentleman chased at a bottling cellar a couple of bottles of cider, took them home himself, and used them in his family. A few minutes after, he, his wife, brother, and others who had partaken of the cider, were all taken extremely ill, and seized with violence of vomiting, and then of purging, which nothing for a time could stop. The cause was presently suspected, and a physician called in, who, without venturing to touch it, broke the bottles, and found in the bottoms a thick, close adhering sediment of arsenick! The owner of the bottling cellar, who was immediately informed of what had happened, expressed the greatest distress, and said he supposed he had purchased the bottles of an apothecary, he was in the habit, like others in the same line of business, of purchasing bottles from whoever would sell. The object of the information is, to warn society against buying, without due care and examination, bottled liquors, and to submit to our legislators, whether the nature of the thing does not call for a law (if, as I believe, there is not such a law) interdicting by heavy penalties, all doctors and apothecaries, and every other description of persons who are in the habit of using bottles for medicinal purposes, from selling any empty bottles whatever. The imperious necessity of such a law must appear to every one, without further comment.

RICHMOND, July 17. We understand that on Thursday morning last a duel was fought upon the borders of North Carolina, between col. Elliot Muse of Middlesex county and Caleb B. Upshur, Esq. formerly of the Eastern Shore now of Richmond County. Upon the first fire, the latter gentleman received the ball of his antagonist in his waistcoat pocket, where it was resisted by a couple of dollars; but they so were forcibly indented upon his side, as to cause him to exclaim, that he was mortally wounded. The mode of fighting, allowed to each party a pair of pistols, with which they were to advance and use them as they pleased. In consequence of this explanation col. M. did not use his second pistol. The friend of Mr. U. was asked if he was satisfied; to which he replied in the affirmative. And we are happy to state, that the difference between the two gentlemen was afterwards adjusted, and that the one wounded will perhaps receive very inconsiderable injury. What is curious—the force of the ball is said to have been so great, that it dented in the dollar, which it struck, and almost buried itself—the ball itself was spread out nearly to the diameter of an eighteen pence. The second dollar received a part of the impression of the contiguous side of the exterior dollar.
Turtle Dinner, &c. A TURTLE DINNER and a BARBACUE KID, will be provided at JOHN HODGKIN's tavern, to-morrow, at 3 o'clock,—Price One Dollar for each person. July 20. It

He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired—house-keepers 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.

Extract of a letter from St. Bartholomews, dated June 28. "Since writing you yesterday, accounts have been received here, by the packet arrived at Antigua, that an accommodation has taken place between France and Sweden, and that the latter power will be permitted to remain neutral; as there has been some apprehension of a war breaking out between Great Britain and Sweden, by the arrival of this packet it has entirely done it it away."
GEN. WILKINSON. The following may serve for one more item of Wilkinson's devices for getting hold of public money. In the year 1806, seventy five thousand dollars were remitted, in the form of a draft on the branch bank of New Orleans, for six months pay, &c. for the troops, addressed to lieutenant Richard Buck, the paymaster, and drawn in his favor. This officer died before the letter and draft arrived, and they came, through that circumstance, to the hands of gen. Wilkinson, who informed the paymaster general at Washington, in a letter transmitted by the hands of ensign Mead, that Buck being dead, he (W.) had destroyed the draft on the bank. Notwithstanding this assurance it soon after appeared, that the draft was ACTUALLY PRESENTED FOR PAYMENT at the bank at N. Orleans; but the board of directors having decided against paying it, a special authorization was transmitted to paymaster Carson, the successor of Buck, to receive the money, which was accordingly passed to his credit at bank. A duplicate of the draft, which had been forwarded on receiving the declaration that the first was destroyed, was returned to the Treasurer of the U. States, he was the drawer of both.

FROM THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL. A squinting at War. —The remarks on the situation of our public affairs, with respect to foreign nations, which sometimes appear in the National Intelligencer, have been generally supposed to be semi-official, or in other words, as indirectly conveying the opinions of our cabinet on those subjects. Without subscribing to this in its fullest extent, yet from Mr. Smith's situation as an editor, and his relative standing with the officers of government, we are always inclined to view his remarks with attention. The following paragraphs are extracted from an editorial article in the National Intelligencer of the 12th inst. "The premises of Great Britain are fair. They are such as ought to induce us to hope for every thing. But while we entertain this best feeling of an honest heart, let us shield ourselves with a spirit that is prepared for events, whatever they may be. The fact is, that while the world continues in its present troubled state, every day may be expected to bring with it a new vicissitude. Ardently as we may strive to withdraw ourselves from its collisions, we are a part of the great family of mankind, and cannot, by any prudence on our part, avoid participating more or less in the evils that befal it. "Besides, it will be almost a miracle to remain for any length of time on an equally good footing with France and England.—The manifestation of the good will of one is almost of itself sufficient to produce the enmity of the other; and the actual or probable hostility of either should teach us the duty of maintaining an imposing attitude."
From the United States Gazette. THE WAR IN GERMANY AND ITALY. Taking all the statements together that we have seen, and making allowances, it is supposed they may be summed up as follows: In the first place, we have been told that the archduke Charles was generalissimo, unfettered with an aulic council; and from his address to the people and princes of the confederation of the Rhine, he appeared to have counted upon foreign aid, and discontent among the subjects of those princes. Jerome Bonaparte's proclamation strengthens the latter idea. The archduke may have counted too much on this, and may not have
expected so large a French force to oppose him, when he marched into Bavaria. Be this as it may, he has certainly been obliged to give a great deal of ground, and take an entire new position; but that it was with such immense loss as mentioned in the ranting French bulletins, is not believed. It is worthy of remark that in the French accounts of the battles with the Prussians, Russians, Germans and Spaniards, they speak on all occasions of severe fighting, and give great praise to their troops for their bravery and yet the accounts of their losses are so trifling, "as to make them incredible." So they say themselves.
According to the latest imperfect accounts, the following appeared to be the situation of the French and Austrian armies. Bonaparte had advanced through Bavaria, & over the river Inn, into the Austrian territory—The archduke Charles was in force in Bohemia, ready to act either on the flank or rear of the enemy, in case he attempted to menace Vienna, from which he would be met by the emperor Francis, with an army of reserve from Hungary and Lower Austria. The archduke Ferdinand was said to be in Poland.
It is also said that insurrections had taken place in the confederation of the Rhine, in the rear of the French army. The archduke John had gained a great battle on entering Italy, and much reliance was placed on the hardy and loyal people of Tyrol, who would act in any direction that might be required.
Further accounts state that the French emperor, in advancing towards Vienna was attacked and obliged to retreat. There were reports from various quarters, that a revolution had taken place in the councils of Russia in favor of Austria.

LEDTARD , the celebrated traveller, who was a citizen of Connecticut, was sent by Capt. Cook to explore a river on the coast of Kamtschatka. He embarked in a canoe, with only three companions. These were the Bible, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and a Bottle of Brandy.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated May 24. "Since the embargo in your country has been taken off in favor of this country, a large number of Americans have dropped in, and glutted the market with all sorts of your produce—and sales are now very dull. Nevertheless we have lately sold a parcel of Rice at 7 dls. per qt. Tobacco is effected at 11 dls.; near 3000 hogsheads have come in flour, has sold at twelve dollars of the first arrivals, but this price cannot be supported. Tar, very little in demand, and a large stock afloat. Beef and pork dull at 20 and 16 dls. per bbl. Staves in demand and support 125 to 130 dls. per m."
A LUCKY THOUGHT. Jerome Bonaparte has had the sagacity to discover a new method of preventing the circulation of British manufactures. The latest accounts inform us that he has prohibited the use of edged and pointed tools of all sorts, such as knives, pitchforks, &c. &c. throughout the dominions of which he is mock king; and lest his orders should not be observed, he has directed that these manufactures should be collected together and taken special care of. Thus his subjects will be compelled to adopt the Turkish fashion of eating with their fingers, as long as they shall have any thing to eat; for without the liberty to keep the necessary tools and implements, it is impossible to see how they can exercise their trades and employments.
[North American.] TO DAIRY WOMEN. To prevent your cheese having a rancid, nauseous flavor, put one table spoonfull of salt to each gallon of milk, when taken from the cows in the evening, for the cheese to be made the next day: Put the salt at the bottom of the vessel that is to receive the milk. It will increase the curd and prevent the milk from growing sour or putrid the hottest nights in summer.
SILVER MINE. Within a few weeks past, a mine has been discovered on the lands of Mr. William Davis, of Frederick county, Virginia, which, from actual experiment, promises to yield an immense quantity of silver of the purest kind. The writer of this communication, has seen two specimens of silver, produced from this ore bank, which si pronounced by competent judges to be as pure metal as any in the world. It is said by the proprietors, that from two pounds and four ounces of the ore, they have produced the value of two dollars eighty-seven and a half cents. From this calculation it is expected that every ton of ore, in its natural state, will yield about 1300 dollars. The proprietors expect to be able to melt down about a ton in weight, every twenty-four hours. The bank, it is believed, contains an almost inexhaustible quantity of ore. Mr. Daniel Vansice, is the gentleman who has made the chemical experiments and has become a partner. I this day heard him declare, that he would not take ten thousand dollars in cash, for his interest.

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 be fully informed by application to Mr. Ellicott by letter. My Wheat-Rubber , I do verily believe is upon entire 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.

FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre , Monk , Adelgitha , &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend? 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 III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlap; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's 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 Moira, by Lewis. June 7—21

JUST RECEIVED,
FOR SALE ONLY BY James Kennedy, Jen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET. The following highly valuable MEDICAL DR. JEBB'S NATURE'S RESTORATIVE A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent, is of superior efficacy in the all disorders excited by nervous irritability as well as in complaints of complete or whether arising from irregularities of long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure or that destructive habit of inconsiderate which brings on so prematurely the last of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country, 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, those melancholy symptoms removed, are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced, the thousands it has renovated, bending under the pressure of nervous, somnolent or hypochondriacal disorders, attested proofs of which from eminent distinguished persons in this quarter of the world are now in the possession of the public, here, some few of which are herein published, have determined the introduction of this continent, where its efficacies must 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 a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people were conspicuous over all the nations of the earth for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and as known at this time by the most experienced as the most celebrated of all the sovereign remedies for decayed constitutions, 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 best of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in the most grateful to the palate, and the most livening 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 to the preservation of health—this common remark however is too often forgotten whilst we are active and strong—and a 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 unremitted 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, Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pain 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 arduous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, or in their warm climates, they will be found of great value, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of preparations have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unparalleled benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen 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 Calvert Street. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be obtained by applying as above. March 11
