No. II. (C.) - (Translation.)
Copy of the declaration delivered by prince Czartoryski to the ambassador count de Stadion, on the 28th July 9th August, 1805.
The undersigned minister for foreign affairs, being authorized to that effect by his majesty the emperor of all the Russias, declares to his excellency the ambassador count de Stadion as follows:
1. The several observations and proposals by the court of Vienna, in the preliminary declaration delivered by the vice chancellor of the court and state, count de Cobenzel, to the ambassador count de Razoumofsky, on the 7th of July, are assumed by his majesty the emperor of all the Russias, to serve as a basis for the concert of measures between the court of Russia and those of Vienna and of London. In like manner the modifications proposed therein by his imperial and royal majesty for the regulation of the affairs of the continent, are also adopted, in case there be reason to hope that war may be avoided by means of negotiation.
2. His majesty the emperor of all the Russias confirms the military arrangements detailed in the protocol of conferences held between the general baron de Wintzingerode on one side, and the prince de Schwarzenberg, and general Mack on the other, and which was signed the 16th of July. And his imperial majesty engages strictly to fulfil the whole of the measures therein arranged.
3. His majesty the emperor of all the Russias engages, moreover, to endeavour to prevail on his Britannic majesty to consent to the modification and demands contained in the paper entitled, "Remarks on some particular objects of the convention signed between the courts of Petersburg and London the 30th of March, 11 of April of this year."
4. His majesty the emperor of all the Russias engages to the said Britannic majesty to grant the total amount of the subsidiary demands made by the court of Vienna, with this condition nevertheless, that in case his imperial majesty notwithstanding all his exertions should fail in the attempt, this circumstance shall occasion no essential change in the measures concerted between Russia and Austria.
5. His majesty the emperor of all the Russias engages as soon as the whole or a part of the Russian troops shall have passed their frontiers, not to treat for peace but upon those bases which his imperial majesty has himself acknowledged to be indispensable for the safety of Europe; and when the war shall have broken out, to make neither peace nor a truce, without the consent of the allies, according to the stipulations of the concert of the 30th March, 11th April, of this year.
The undersigned in delivering this preliminary declaration, which is to be in the place and have the validity of the most solemn act, to the ambassador of Austria, is authorised to announce to him at the same time, that he is ready to proceed immediately on this basis to the conclusion of the formal act of accession of the court of Vienna to the concert of the 30th March, 11th April.
The present declaration, and that delivered in return by the ambassador count de Stadion, shall be ratified by the respective sovereigns in the shortest possible term, & the ratifications exchanged at St. Petersburg.
In faith of which the undersigned joint minister for foreign affairs has signed the present declaration, has caused the seal of his army to be affixed thereto, and has exchanged it against the declaration signed this day by his excellency the count de Stadion.
Done at St. Petersburg the 28th July, 9th August, 1805.

No. II. (D) - (Translation.)
Declaration of prince Czartoryski, to lord G. L. Gower, dated St. Petersburg, 28th July, 9th August, 1805.
The undersigned joint minister for foreign affairs, being authorized to that effect by his majesty the emperor of all the
Russias, declares to his excellency the ambassador, lord Grenville Leveson Gower as follows:
1st. The undersigned has this day exchanged with his excellency the ambassador of Austria the declarations of which copies are hereto annexed
2d. His majesty the emperor of all the Russias expects that the ambassador of England will agree in the name of his court without reserve to their contents; and that if he did not consider himself sufficiently authorised thereto, he will express in a formal declaration the several points to which he can immediately assent.
3d. The undersigned is authorised to exchange this declaration against that which shall be delivered to him by his excellency lord Granville Leveson Gower,
The present declaration, and that delivered in return by the ambassador of England which are to be in the place and to have the validity of the most solemn act, shall be ratified by the respective sovereigns and the ratifications exchanged at St. Petersburg in the shortest possible term.
In faith of which, the undersigned joint minister for foreign affairs, has signed the present declaration, has caused to be affixed to it the seal of his arms, and has exchanged it against the declaration signed this day by his excellency the ambassador of England.

No. II. (E.) - (Translation.)
Declaration signed by his majesty's ambassador at Saint Petersburg and delivered to prince Czartoryski and to count de Stadion, 9th August, 1805.
The undersigned ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of his Britannic majesty, having been invited by his excellency the prince Czartoryski, joint minister for foreign affairs, and the count de Stadion ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of his imperial royal and apostolic majesty, to accede to the declarations reciprocally exchanged between the two imperial courts on this day, the 9th of August, in virtue of his full powers, declares as follows:
The several observations and proposals expressed by the court of Vienna in the preliminary declaration delivered by the vice chancellor of the court and state, the count de Cobenzel, to the ambassador count Razoumofsky, on the 7th of July, and in the Memoire Raisoné of the 21st of July, are assumed by his Britannic majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, &c. &c. to serve as a basis for the concert of measures between the three courts of London, Vienna, and Petersburg, and the modifications proposed therein, for the regulations of the affairs of the continent, are in like manner adopted in case there should be reason to hope that war may be avoided by the means of negotiation.
The British ambassador, while he declares that his positive instructions preclude him from acceding to the pecuniary demands of the court of Vienna, engages in the name of his sovereign, that the monthly subsidies agreed by the concert of the 30th March - 11th April, shall be payable from the 1st of October, 1805. He engages also to advance with the least possible delay, the equivalent of five months subsidies, under the head premiere mise en campagne , with this express condition, that his Britannic majesty may reclaim whatever payment shall have been made in favor of his imperial and royal majesty, beyond the million stipulated by the eleventh additional article of the above mentioned treaty, whether as premiere mise en campagne , or as current subsidy, in case that the negotiations, which are about to be set on foot with the French government do not terminate in a war.
He declares moreover, that if the said negotiations shall not be brought to a conclusion before the 31st day of December, 1805, the expiration of the first 3 months shall be the term of the payments, which are to be continued monthly until the commencement of hostilities.
His imperial and royal majesty having engaged to employ an armed force of not less than 520,000 men, the undersigned consents, that the advances to be made under the head premiere mise en campagne , shall be paid according to this calculation, with this condition nevertheless, that if contrary to all expectation, the Austrian armies do not amount to the force above specified, his Britannic majesty may deduct from this payment a sum proportionate to the numbers that are wanting.
The British ambassador cannot consent to the modifications and demands contained in the paper, entitled, "Remarks on some particular objects of the convention, signed"
between the courts of Petersburg and of London, the 30th March, 11th April, of this year;" as he has hitherto received no instructions from his court which authorise him to accede to such demands.
The British ambassador accepts the accession of his majesty the emperor and king, under the conditions specified in the preliminary declaration exchanged this day between the plenipotentiaries of their imperial and royal majesties, with this formal reservation, that this accession shall not be considered as valid, nor the above mentioned engagements obligatory, unless the court of Vienna shall on their side conform themselves to the whole of the stipulations of the said act.
The undersigned, in delivering to his excellency prince Czartoryski, and count de Stadion, the present preliminary declaration, which is to be in the place and have the validity of the most solemn treaty, is authorised to announce to him at the same time, that he is ready to proceed immediately on these bases, to the conclusion of the formal act of accession of the court of Vienna to the concert of the 30th March, 11th April.
These presents shall be ratified by the respective courts in the shortest possible term.
In witness whereof the undersigned by virtue of the full powers of his Britannic majesty, has signed the present preliminary declaration, and has affixed thereto the seal of his arms.
Done at St. Petersburg, the 28th July, 9th August, 1805.

Preliminary and secret convention between his majesty and the king of Sweden, signed at Stockholm, December 3d, 1804.
His majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his majesty the king of Sweden, being animated with a mutual desire to strengthen and draw closer the ties of friendship and harmony which so happily exist between the two courts, having thought proper with this view to regulate by a preliminary and secret convention, certain points of their mutual interest relative to the present situation of affairs, their said majesties have named for that purpose, his majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the sieur Henry Pierrepont, his envoy extraordinary and his minister plenipotentiary, and his majesty the king of Sweden, the sieur Frederick d'Ehrenheim, president of his chancery, and commander of his order of the polar star, who after having reciprocally communicated their full powers have agreed upon the following articles:
Art. I. His Britannic majesty, in order to enable his Swedish majesty more effectually to provide for the defence of Stralsund, against any attack whatever on the part of the French, engages to pay, once for all, the sum of sixty thousand pounds sterling which is to be appropriated solely to that purpose; this sum shall be remitted in three payments, at the interval of a month between each, the first of which is to become due upon the ratification of this convention being exchanged.
Art. II. His majesty the king of Sweden engages, so long as the war between Sweden and France continues, or during the space of eighteen months for the least, to permit the establishment of a depot in Swedish Pomerania, either at Stralsund, or in the island of Rugen, or in both those places, for the corps of Hanoverians which his Britannic majesty shall be desirous of raising there.
Art. III. The officers appointed to raise the said levies, shall be allowed to clothe, arm, and victual them, to form them into battalions, and to remove them out of Swedish Pomerania into such places, and in such proportions, as his Britannic majesty shall judge proper.
Art. IV. The stipulations of the preceding articles being founded on the principle that Sweden is actually declared a belligerent party, it is understood that the said articles II. and III. are to be suspended in their operation until his Swedish majesty shall find himself, by the return of the open season, in a situation to send additional reinforcements into Pomerania, insomuch that no measure relative to these dispositions can be adopted before that time.
Art. V. His majesty the king of Sweden engages moreover to grant to the subjects of his Britannic majesty, during the continuance of the war between Great Britain and France, the right of entrepot at Stralsund, for all the articles of the growth, produce, and merchandise, as well of Great Britain as of her colonies, shipped in British or Swedish vessels. All such articles intended for re-exportation, whether by
sea or land, shall only pay a duty of three quarters per cent. ad valorem ; and those for consumption, such duties only as are actually established at the port of Stralsund, with respect to the most favored nations. A more detailed arrangement of this branch of commerce, as likewise of other points whereby the commercial interests of the two nations, might be more closely connected, is to be reserved for a particular act.
Art. VI. His majesty the king of the united kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, and his majesty the king of Sweden, mutually engage to ratify the present act, and the ratifications thereof shall be exchanged in the space of six weeks, or soon, if possible, to be computed from the day of its signature.
In witness whereof, we, the undersigned, furnished with the full powers of our respective sovereigns, have signed the present convention, and have hereunto affixed the seals of our arms.
Done at Stockholm, this third December, 1804.

MR. LEWIS,
I am that Son who, in the introductory paper to this series (written by my reverend father, CALEB CULLWORTHY, in behalf of his family collectively) was said to be the joint property of both his parents. As I always manifest the highest deference for my father's opinions; and as I do not care to trouble myself about the mysteries of the occult sciences, I do hereby inform you that I yield the most ready and implicit belief to every thing that my father has or may premise on this head. My genealogical descent being thus definitively settled, and my claims to your friendship and protection (being, as they have already assured you, their joint son and heir) having now become manifest, from the very pretty eulogy that you have been pleased to bestow upon our hopeful family, I have only to inform you that I read that "six dollar Port Folio," mentioned by my father, with equal profit and delight. In the 17th number of the New Series we are presented with a "Character of the late Mr. W. W. of Maryland," written by a gentleman who has it the true "Olympian thunder," and which, if its great length would not trespass too much upon the limits of your journal, I could wish to be given to your readers entire. The following extract, however, contains so many pertinent remarks, so much critical acumen and sterling truth, that it cannot fail to please a majority of readers; and that is all that can be expected, considering the grumbling propensities of the age we live in. Notwithstanding, sir, the fastidious delicacy of your principles, and your well known tenderness to those whom you had rather convince than anathematize, I have indulged a belief that you will readily give publicity to the eternal truths contained in this extract; and this, the rather, as it has now become but little short of an absolute duty which you owe to the American people. Would Mr. Jefferson have filled an important branch of the national judiciary with a character so totally destitute of legal learning, not to mention other requisites and pretensions, as the one he has lately given to the very free citizens of this district of the union, had his counsellors been bred in that school of which the writer of this sketch is a most honorable and eloquent pupil?
I am, Sir, Your humble servant, Christopher Cullworthy.
The increasing infirmities of a debilitated frame compelled Mr. Winchester before the age of thirty to relinquish the exercises of the Bar, for the less oppressive though arduous duties of the Bench. The prominence of merit served as his recommendation, not the artifices of intrigue or the prejudices of political communion. He entered upon his station deeply impressed with its awful importance, fortified by a just reliance on his own powers, and animated by the pleasing consciousness of possessing the esteem and confidence of his former associates. The first qualification we usually demand in a judge is legal capacity. I can scarcely conceive a more noxious and at the same time a more miserable being, than one ignorant of the law which he undertakes to expound. — If his motive for embracing a charge to which he feels himself incompetent, be

the cupidity of gain, he begins by prostituting the most august of all functions to the most despicable of all passions. If his ambition prompt him to assume a character which his presumption leads him to suppose he may fulfil, he merits the fate that rewarded the rashness of Uzza, for stretching forth a feeble and unhallowed hand, to uphold the ark of the Lord. Instead of being a priest of justice regularly initiated, and deputed like the Roman Vestal, or the Persian Magus, to watch over the purity of the sacred flame, he is a scoundrelly intruder, that prophanes the temple and dishonors the ministry. To disentangle the intricacies, to apply the principles, to extend the consequences, to reconcile the contradictions and to elucidate the spirit of a vast and irregular code, are the daily duties of his office, for which no elevation of genius or depth of penetration, can singly qualify him; but, on the contrary, the very lights which would enable him to tread with security and satisfaction, in any other path, in this may only serve to lead him astray. Without the torch of legal science, he must be forever involved in darkness and perplexity. He will be compelled to select as guides, those whose tract it was his duty to illuminate, but whose interest it is to mislead him: and whom instead of wielding, as auxiliary troops in his crusade against sophistry and chicane, he converts into insidious enemies, or merciless tyrants. Conscious of his impotency, his mind must either continually oscillate like a pendulum, or be open to the dominion of every usurper. He can never dare to trust himself beyond the narrow circle of his own experience, least he should fall at every step nor ever go right, without having reason to fear that he may be wrong.
Should he adopt that intrepidity of decision, which belongs almost exclusively to ignorance, and attempt to cut the Gordian knot, that he is too inexpert to unravel, his temerity is criminal, although crowned with success, and the adjudication, as it passes from his lips, can never fail to impregnate them with all the bitterness of unavailing regret. Who then, can be surprised at the spectacle which our courts so often exhibit, if the brows of the magistrate, instead of a laurel wreath, should often appear to be pressed by a crown of thorns; if, instead of the mild joy and modest elation of a legitimate sovereign on his throne, he should display on the bench the shame and confusion of a fraudulent and timid usurper; instead of the cheerful alacrity, but pious solicitude, of an able general in the field of battle, the gloom and hesitation of a galley slave, dragging, with sullen reluctance, the insupportable weight of his chain; if, instead of carrying up with him to the judgment seat the simplicity of truth, the composure of philosophy, the wisdom of the law, and the disinterestedness of justice, the characteristic virtues of the judge should be banished, to give visible activity to the grosser passions of the man; if, making those passions the measure of his interest, and his interest the measure of his duty, he should rest satisfied, in committing his decisions to the sallies of caprice, the fluctuations of chance, or the variations of every wind of doctrine; if, perhaps dead to the pains of reflection, and blind to the finger of scorn, he should make the bench a place of careless repose, and seem to consider the hours slumbered away in court, as so much time sacrificed to the enlargement of his income, or stolen from the avocations of pleasure, or the engagements of business; if the dissipation of mind, depicted in this vacancy of his countenance, should destroy the confidence of the litigant, and palsy the exertions of the advocate; if, in fine, his in action should be a subject of ridicule, and his exertion of contempt.
And now, gentle reader, after this beautiful specimen of oratorical eloquence, will you have the goodness to step with me a little further for the goodly purpose of witnessing another display of Dorian harmony in the style of this caring child of polite literature. Hear him speak of law, and of its professors. I could wish that some of our clergymen might also profit of these remarks.
The Law, although a mysterious science is not merely a profitable trade. We worship the Goddess of Fame, and she is not a divinity, to be propitiated by a special plea, however technically accurate; she is not to be addressed in the style of a declaration; she requires wreaths of flowers, culled with taste, and interwoven with skill; votive offerings to be laid on her altars, and the luminous digression of a pregnant and vigorous mind, the warm effusions of a feeling heart, the brilliant gleams of a vivid imagination. The profession of the law is, in this country, a seminary of legislators. They need not be told of what importance are the arts of speech to the satisfactory discharge of their duty, and to their political advancement. In popular governments, eloquence speaks the language of a monarch: every where else, that of a courtier.
I do not demand the Roman orator, such as he who best realized the picture described him, combining almost every quality that can serve to exalt the dignity of the human understanding: the subtlety of the dialectician, the erudition of the philosopher, the memory of the jurist, the fancy and language of the poet, the voice and gesture of the tragedian. In oratori, acumen dialecticorum, sententiae philosophorum, verba prope poetarum, memoria jurisconsultorum, vox tragadorum, gestus paene summorum actorum. He sunk into the same tomb with Cicero, as, in the departments of the painter, the statuary, and perhaps of the musician, we have seen many noble imitations, but nothing that has, as yet, rivalled the perfection of the original. With our present feelings and habits, it would be folly to recommend, and credulity to expect, the unqualified adoption of those arts, by which the prodigies of ancient eloquence were effectuated. That "Olympian thunder," which threw all Greece into a ferment, which dislocated the frame of empires, which shook the solid structure of the Macedonian power to its deepest foundations, which made Philip tremble in the midst of his redoubtable phalanx, is to be forged in a higher and brighter region than the dun atmosphere of a lawyer's office. The children of heroes, as the orators of Athens were emphatically denominated, must be formed in some other school. But, although the age of heroism be past, we may still aim at the exploits of men. If we cannot enjoy the majesty and pomp of the Dorian harmony, we still retain the piercing and pathetic tones of the Lydian. The violent convulsions and the excruciating agonies, exhibited in the group of Laocoon, infuse terror, and kindle all the enthusiasm of admiration; the mild languor expressed in the attitude, and diffused over the countenance, of the Dying Gladiator, awakens feelings less sublime, but scarcely less powerful—the throbs of tender distress; the swellings of the softened heart. Neither the vices, nor the crimes, nor the passions, nor the miseries, nor the sensibilities of mankind are yet extinguished. They lay open an ample field to one who would have the diligence to watch, the courage to seize, and the skill to improve, the concurrence of opportunity. The speaker may still indulge, without restraint, the most lively feelings of a compassionate nature, the warmest language of passion, the most exquisite pathos of a high wrought peroration; but not until, by a species of enchantment, like that of the magic wand of Harlequin, he has chained down the minds of his auditory to one posture; while he has them in the same state of tension, and attuned them in unison with his own; until the electric shock is felt, and communicated; until they have caught his infectious ardor, and glow with all the fervor of the subject. When the eye of benevolence begins to sparkle, the tear of compassion to roll, or the murmur of indignation to be heard, he is released from his shackles, he has no longer any thing to fear: he may then, as it were, throw himself into the crowd; he then no longer appears to give, but to follow the impulse; no longer to be hurried away by the impetuosity of his own feelings, but by the tumultuous passions of his audience, and by thus incorporating himself with them, by this action and reaction, his victory is secure, his triumph becomes compleat.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, JUNE 14.
A letter from the marquis Casa Yrujo dated Philadelphia the 5th of February, with a postscript of the 11th of the same month, addressed to the governor general of Venezuela and Carraccas, has been found on board a prize vessel lately sent into Kingston, (Jamaica,) from which the following relation is taken respecting Miranda, &c.
(N. T. Mer. Adv.) That on his return from Washington, where he had been for a few weeks, he received information that the Traitor Miranda had sailed from New York the day before, in the ship Leander, mounting 18 guns, that she had merchandize and ammunition of all kinds, and warlike stores on board, such as lead in sheets, iron, balls, muskets and particularly a large quantity of pikes, the greater part without handles, for the convenience of their being concealed, that a three masted schooner went in company with him; previous to this captain Lewis sailed with two schooners for Port au Prince, near which place there was a position occupied by 2,500 mulattoes, who
on a former occasion had promised him to ship themselves in a body, if he would procure a country for them to go to, as they were afraid of being massacred by the blacks; the mulattoes are under the command of one Pichon. Lewis had with him powder and ball, some hundred stand of arms and 6600 pikes; there were two vessels fitting out on the same expedition from Boston, one of which had sailed, but he could not tell her name; that the ship Leander had sailed mounting 16 guns, with 20 field pieces and 13 mortars on board, a considerable quantity of arms and ammunition, and a complete equipage for mounting a regiment of cavalry; that the result of his enquiries is, the
Indostan and Emperor had cleared and sailed for St. Marc's and Jacquemel. Leander for Carraccas, Louisiana, cleared for Port au Prince. Two vessels from Boston. Captain Lewis with two schooners. And a three masted schooner that sailed in company with the Leander. From the best information he could obtain they carried about 12000 men for disembarkation, taking as many as they could in each vessel, so as not to give rise to suspicion; that he has no doubt but they are destined against the Carraccas, and therefore sends this account, that he may be prepared against any surprise from these pirates."
From the Evening Post. Mr. COLEMAN, SIR, Observing that you have published, in the Evening Post, our memorial read in Congress on the twenty first of April last, we think it our duty to correct an error which is contained therein, in using the name of the collector of the port, instead of the naval officer.
The particular paragraph alluded to is as follows, to wit: "That the extraordinary equipment of the ship Leander though made with some appearance of secrecy, was a matter of general conversation and of great notoriety, in New York for a long time before she sailed; that several officers of the government of the United States were acquainted with it; that in particular it was well known to the collector of the port of New York, to whom a formal representation was made by an officer of high rank, under the government of the state, and the collector was by him called upon to notice the fact, but the collector refused so to do, saying, it was not his official duty to notice the representation."
At the time our memorials were presented we did believe the facts as stated in the above paragraph to be correct, and the memorials were drawn under a conviction that they had been so communicated to us by Major General Ebenezer Stevens, who is the officer of rank under the state government there alluded to; but from subsequent conversations with General Stevens we find that there was a mistake in giving the name of the collector as the person to whom he made the communication respecting the Leander.
He now informs us that some time previous to the sailing of the Leander he called at the custom house with the intention of making a communication relative to the said ship, and finding the collector at the moment occupied on other business, he went into the office of Samuel Osgood, esquire, the naval officer and there communicated to him the facts within his knowledge as to the extraordinary equipment of the ship Leander, observing to him, that he conceived the collector, naval officer, district judge and district attorney could form a competent board to demand of General Miranda, Colonel Smith and Mr. Ogden, an explanation of the nature and intention of the expedition.
The naval officer replied that as the ship was cleared for Jacquemel, there was no law to prevent her sailing; and no notice it appears was afterwards taken of the representation. Whether it was communicated or not to the collector, Mr. Osgood can best inform.
We request those printers, who have thought proper to publish the memorials to republish the above.
WILLIAM S. SMITH, SAMUEL G. OGDEN. New York, June 10, 1806.
P. S. We are authorised, and desire to add, that the above has been submitted to General Stevens for his inspection, and has been approved by him.
EDITOR OF E POST. From the Shop of Sol. Shaver, Esq. Co.
"Public reason just, Honor and empire, with revenge enlarged By conquering this new world, compels me now To do what, else, though damn'd, I should abhor."
THESE words MILTON attributes to the "Arch Fiend," just arrived from the infernal regions and plotting the destruction of that happiness in Eden, which he beheld with hellish envy. By the expression "public reason," we suppose the poet meant the same as public good. Some good natured souls have vastly mistaken the import of this expression: they think the public good signifies the good of the great body of the people, including persons of all kinds, colors and conditions. But we could easily make it appear, from very high authority, that this opinion is prodigiously erroneous. Ask Bonaparte what the pub-
lic good means; his actions will inform you that it is the good of Napoleon, (once the friend of the people, and the sworn enemy of kings and emperors, but now,) His imperial majesty NAPOLEON I. Emperor of the French and King of Italy, and the good of his family and nobility. Things were a little different in France 7 years ago. Then "le peuple souverain" was all the cry. But times are altered. It would be a little hazardous, in France to talk about the sovereign people. Among other inconveniences a man would be in great danger of losing his HEAD for it.
Ask the feudal lords of Germany, Denmark, Russia, &c. what they understand by the public good: They will tell you it means the good of their NOBLE ORDER. You offend them insufferably, if you hint that the peasants, (who constitute the great mass of a nation) ought to have any share in the public good. You had much better talk to them of the rights of horses than the rights of those who cultivate the ground.
Some of our politicians insinuate very strongly, that (for the public good) the people of this country ought to put the management of their public affairs almost wholly into the hands of some of our good noble folks, and not trouble the heads so much about public matters. Now this is very honest: 'tis about as much as to tell the people— You are the pawns in taking care of yourselves; you must have guardians for life. Only commit your affairs to our noble beings, and your happiness will be secured forever.
Other politicians are always flattering the people, and telling them they are charming clever; and that if they will only promote their flatterers to be their masters, their happiness will be enhanced most amazingly. Now we have been told that in old times such friends of the people were still greater friends to themselves, and it is for nothing but to get promoted. It will be in these days, we pretend not to say.
From the Dartmouth Gazette.
"Haste, haste, he lies in wait, he's at the door, Infidi us Death! should his strong hand arrest, No competition sets the prisoner free."
Notwithstanding the shortness and importance of time, many esteem it a burden and would rejoice could large portions of it be annihilated. Like insects, they expend for a while their gaudy colors & flutter in the smiling sun of prosperity; but all the darker scenes of life, they would reject, and thus curtail it of more than half its length. Reflection is the only mirror which can expose the fallacious allurements of vice in her just deformity. If sensibility prevent the use of this, and we tremble at the approach of those moments which leave us to ourselves; what must be our thoughts, when the song and the dance can delight no more, when the pale cheek is no more to blush with returning health, and reflection must be indulged, although all the foul with horror! Scenes of merriment and gaiety may please fancy and lead astray the thoughtless from the paths of rectitude, but they remind us not that the journey of life must soon be finished, and that we are on the verge of eternity.
How often do we meet, not to rejoice with our friends, or embrace them in the arms of affection; but to commit their remains to the silent earth, to water them with tears of sorrow, and bid them farewell for ever. Have we not all witnessed such events? Have we not been more than idle spectators in these melancholy scenes? Haste then, ye slaves of appetite, quit your sucking pleasures, and let more exalted enjoyments engage your attention. Your ambitious hopes and designs will be blasted, and the crimson current will cease to flow in your veins, where then will be your boasted merit? where the friends to comfort and delight? Beauty's charms must cease to command admiration, and the sparkling eye to please, when sickness has wasted the delicate frame, and the bricks of health are seen no more. Genius and acquirements may procure applause, and wealth dazzle the giddy multitude, but these cannot fatter the clouds of adversity, nor soften the pillow of disease.
Although religion heightens the pleasures of youth, and sweetens all the enjoyments of life, its real worth can only be known in those darker moments, when friends can no longer help, and the "healing art" has lost its wanted efficacy. Then the atheist's hope vanishes, but the hopes of the Christian brighten at the prospect of a nobler inheritance hereafter.
"Invidious death" is ever waiting to seize his prey. Health may to day brighten the countenance, and the expectations of long life and peace drive far away the thoughts of eternity— tomorrow we may languish on the bed of disease, and the cold hand of death may blast all our visionary prospects. This may be the important crisis. A moment's delay may be unspeakable loss, irreparable ruin. "O trifle not on a precious piece."

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Canlin, at Port Tobacco.

Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachel Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermitting Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholics, Colicwheels, Female complaints, &c. The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment. A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 45 cents a box.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste. For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth.
