USEFUL PROPERTIES OF YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
THIS highly useful Machine is found by experience to excel any hitherto in use. It will wash as many cloaths (by the assistance of one person) in an hour as can be washed in a whole day, without the pos- sibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the most delicate article, and with less than half the quantity of soap. It occupies very little more space than the common wash-tub, and with the least care will not create any slop or wet—the construction is very simple and at- tended with little expense. A further de- scription of its qualities is now deemed un- necessary, as it is presumed none will pur- chase without examining it.
We the subscribers do hereby certify that we have found, on trial, the above named Machine to answer fully the above descrip- tion. Given under our hands this 5th day of May, A. D. 1809.

Ran away from the subscriber's planta- tion, the 23d instant, a black man slave nam- ed TOLLEY; rather chunky made, has sev- eral of his fore teeth out, between 20 and 24 years of age—he was formerly the property of F. Fairfax, Esq. of Jefferson county, and lived some time with William Bird Page, Esquire, and it is probable he has turned his attention to that part of the country as he went off without any provocation that I know of, or he may possibly be making arrange- ments somewhere about town to make his escape by water. He'd on when he went off a dark Virginia cloth jacket, with panta- loons of the same manufacture of a light color, a glazed hat that has been much worn, and a pair of English made boots. The above re- ward will be paid for the apprehension and securing of said negro, and reasonable char- ges if brought home.

(VIA PHILADELPHIA.)
LONDON, March 28.
Letters from all parts of the continent, mention the very uncommon misery as well as the discontent of all classes of people.—Should Bonaparte meet with any reverses, depend upon it not only Germany, but Italy, Holland, and France, will be the theatres of new and I fear, sanguinary convulsions. That the revolution in Sweden has been effected by the gold and intrigues of Bonaparte, cannot be doubted. The new regent is known to be an old partisan of France, and one of the chiefs of the sect called "The Illuminati." One of his victims is count de Fersen, a nobleman, personally insulted by Bonaparte at Rastadt, in 1797, on account of his supposed attachment to the Bourbons. Though a Swede by birth, he was, before the revolution, a colonel of the regiment of Royal Suedors in the French service; and it was he, who, in 1791, procured the present Louis XVIII. an opportunity to escape by way of Valenciennes when the unfortunate Louis XVI. was arrested at Varennes.
Several accounts have been received of hostilities between Austria and France, but nothing yet official. Politicians do not expect here that Russia will join France in a new continental war; but also they do not hope that she will oppose the gigantic strides of Napoleon towards universal dominion—She will, nevertheless, not survive, many years, the fall of Austria.
Several persons have letters from St. Petersburg of a late date, mentioning some changes in the politics of its cabinet: but as long as the Russian messengers come here by way of France, it would be absurd to suppose any thing very favorable to this country. They may bring some new pacific proposals in conjunction with France, but certainly no overtures for a separate peace with England.
Reports continue to circulate here of insurrections in Poland, in Switzerland, in the Papal territory, and in Calabria; they are founded upon the contents of private letters from Holland, which also mention another revolution in Turkey."
Extract of a letter from an officer in the squadron off Rochefort, dated March 18, 1809. "I had the honor to mooring our ships in a the enemy's ships, and our frigate half way in advance, so that it is impossible for the Frenchmen to get out without bringing us to action. They have one three decked ship, and ten two deckers. We have the same, but I am afraid they will not engage us and that it will be a long blockade. It is said that the commander in chief is determined to lay at anchor, blow high or blow low, so that they cannot escape."
Latest from Spain.
Proclamation of the British general Wilson, to the Spaniards.
Inhabitants of the Sierra! I am come to join you in the sacred cause which you have sworn to defend. My duty, my conscience, and the love of glory, urge me to undertake anything, and to make every possible sacrifice for your interests. The alternate successes, naturally to be expected during so great a contest, I am positive, have not damped your ardor or depressed your patriotism. The evils which have been inflicted upon your countrymen by sanguinary gangs of lawless and barbarous vandals, only serve to kindle in your hearts a desire to avenge yourselves, and the outrages committed against God, your country and your captive king. The cause, which we support, is too interesting for us to abandon it. If you should conquer, you would bequeath to posterity the independence which you have inherited, and Spain would preserve her name and distinguished rank among the powers of Europe; but, if conquered, Spain will no longer be a power. You shall be subjected to foreign laws; your industry shall only serve to enrich the nations plundered by a perfidious Corsican, and your unhappy children, doomed to a disgraceful servitude, shall be, in his hands, the instruments of the ruin of other countries, the object of his ambition and covetousness.
Spain will shake off the infamous yoke, if she be firm and steady in her determination: the armies of one nation shall ever prove impotent against the population of another, if the latter be armed and united to defend its freedom and independence. What! are one hundred and twenty thousand banditti to subjugate ten millions of Spaniards?—No. Ah! if the Spaniards preserved the memory of a Gonzalo of Cordova, of the conquerors of France, of all Francis I. and of so many other heroes who
triumphed over so many nations;—and if they should think, but for one moment, on the contemptible forces with which this tyrant hopes to subdue Spain they would soon be sensible, that it is not for the shrub to contend with the lex, or for the soft grass to lord it over the hard oak. The enemy of humanity wants to persuade you, that his black eagles are victorious in every quarter, and that England has abandoned Spain forever. All his victories will shortly be like those of Baylen and Arragon; and the king of England will keep his royal word, provided the Spaniards do not desert the sacred cause for which his majesty feels so lively an interest. All Europe expects every Spaniard to prepare for vengeance; and so long as there is one with arms in his hands, he shall find an Englishman to stand by him, at all events, in an honorable manner. Beloved Spaniards! let us fly to arms: the time of glory is close at hand. Vengeance, victory or death!—let these be the consoling words which will fire your souls.
(Signed)
WILSON, Brigadier-General.

By a Malaga article of the 11th March, in the same number, it appears that packets are to be appointed to sail, every 10 days, from that port for Trieste on the Adriatic: "which disposition," it is added, "clearly evinces the good understanding which prevails between the two governments, and the importance attached to a regular intercourse between the two countries."
Extracts from private letters.
BENICARLO, March 12.
I have much pleasure in making you acquainted with the continuance of success which attends the patriotic and gallant exertions of the armed peasantry in Catalonia. These little successes, whilst they animate the Spaniards, are most seriously injurious to the enemy.
Upon the 6th of this month, a party of French dragoons, of 49 men, having laden their horses in the neighborhood of Rendibles, were surprised by the Somatenes, and every horse taken. The dragoons effected their escape. The loss of these horses will be most seriously felt by the enemy.
Upon the 8th, in the morning, the Somatenes in possession of the heights above Mouns del Rey, upon the left bank of the river, were repulsed; and, in the course of that night, they retired from Molins del Rey, and passed the bridge, which was immediately occupied by 400 of the peasants.
Upon the morning of the 10th, a small corps of infantry, supposed to be 300 men, and 40 dragoons, with a field piece, attacked Somatenes, and drove them across the bridge; and, imagining there would be no farther resistance, attempted to proceed with the intention to open the communication with Barcelona, which was now cut off between that city and General St. Cyr, whose line of intercourse ran from Valls through Villa Franca and Molins del Rey. The gallant peasants had only fallen back to the heights over that village, so that, at the moment when the enemy imagined their difficulties were overcome, they were so vigorously attacked as to be forced back upon the bridge, where they took post, and the action became most obstinate, nor could the enemy repass the bridge without difficulty, as a party of Somatenes had posted themselves at a house at the extremity of it. For four hours the firing was incessant, both parties anxiously awaiting succors: at length, the Tercio of Tebecun arrived, under the command of an excellent officer, Colonel Philip Puris. This was the signal for an immediate charge upon the enemy, which was effected with great gallantry and impetuosity. The piece of artillery, its horses and ammunition-waggon fell into our hands, 180 men were left dead upon the spot, and an officer and 38 men made prisoners. Nor is it supposed that any of the infantry were able to escape: for, of those who attempted to retire towards Villa Franca, 40 were killed at the bridge of Lidone (across a deep gully which intersects the main road) and many others were found in different parts of the roads.—The officer commanding, supposed to be general Chabran, and his aid-de-camp, together with the cavalry, effected their escape, all the firelocks, drum and knapsacks, of this division, fell into the hands of the intrepid peasants, who had the satisfaction to release a Spanish officer and seventeen men, who had been made prisoners that very morning. Several officers and soldiers are highly recommended to the captain general for their conduct, and particularly a sergeant of the regiment of Baza (of which corps there was a detachment engaged) he was shot through the thigh; but immediately upon tying up
his wound, returned to his corps. Two soldiers of this regiment also distinguished themselves by being the first who gallantly rushed upon the piece of artillery. The loss on the part of the Spaniards was 12 killed and 28 wounded.
CORDOVA, March 27.
The army of the center, under the command of count de Cartaocal, has advanced towards Toledo, and in an action which was fought near that city, has defeated and captured a whole Polish regiment.
SEVILLE, April 1.
From the Army of Estremadura.
The general in chief of the army of Estremadura [Gen. Cuesta] is posted at Berlanga with the whole of the division of his army, at which place likewise is posted the troops which were nigh Guadaloupe but were not in the battle of Medellin, and the troops that were scattered in consequence of it. Till the 29th March the enemy had not passed the Don Benito and la Serena. Gen. Cuesta, although wounded in that battle, yet, with that activity and enterprize which characterize him, continued profiting of every opportunity to observe the French, and defend the capital, in case of an attack upon it.
The Supreme Junta which is so much interested in the preservation of this worthy general, has ordered him henceforward to declare the state of his health.
SEVILLE, April 2.
The following intelligence is published by authority:
Tarragona, March 9.—The 2d division of New-Castile grenadiers having gone on the 16th ult to occupy the town of Capellades which was threatened by the enemy, the commander lieut. col. Benigno Osorio ordered small detachments to advance under the command of lieut. Sebastian Ramirez who, in the morning of the following day, with the aid of a party of miquelletes of Barcelona who were posted on the heights to the right, fired upon the advanced guards of the enemy, which they returned; and although their opposition was vigorous they had to yield to the impetuosity of our detachments whose commander was the first to rush upon the enemy, taking a colonel prisoner. His brave example was followed by some grenadiers, and immediately after all the detachments and miquelletes, so that the enemy were completely routed and compelled to quit the field, leaving behind 35 killed and 73 prisoners, including 7 officers. The general in chief has promoted the grenadiers upon whom he has conferred the following insignia of distinction, "To the brave defenders of their country."
BADAJOS, March 5.
This Superior Junta has received the following official accounts:
"In compliance with the orders of your excellency of the 23d Feb. this Junta forwards the information just now received from Guadaloupe respecting the situation of our enemies. The enemy have evacuated Jara, in consequence of the bridge being closed or destroyed. Our troops which are about 2000 of the battalions of Cantabria, Mallorca, Seville, two companies from Cordova, and one of Walloons, occupy the posts of Arrebata-capas, San Vicente, San Bartolome, and the Portillo de Cijara. The division of Trias has its advanced guards at the Castellar y Navalvillar de Ibor, three leagues distant from the gate of Arrebata-capas. Just now we have received information from Burguillos, two leagues distant from the bridge, that on the 26th there was an attack towards Almaraz, the result of which was two waggon loads of wounded Frenchmen arrived at the bridge. Our cavalry and infantry have pushed on towards Almaraz.
Signed at Guadaloupe, the 28th February.
Don Anastasio Calderon Agudela. Don F. Jeronimo de Villanueva, Vicer President."
BADAJOS, March 9.
The government junta has received the following information from Don Juan Her-narela.
This day, I am informed, that by order of this regency, 6000 British and Portuguese troops are to depart to Alentejo and from thence to Estremadura. The archbishop, dean and committee of the cathedral church of Santiago in consequence of the French army having entered that city, embarked at the port of Villa Juan, in sailor's dresses, and conveyed here in a Spanish brig, in 8 days. They informed that the French make prizes of all British and Portuguese vessels, leaving the Spanish vessels free, considering them as belonging to the same king.

an indefinite reference, which he said tended to kill and not to cure, he drew out an extensive outline of the measures of the last and present administration on the subject of differences with Great Britain.]
Mr. Holland was for postponement. He was afraid of false influence. What in is this highly extolled act so worthy? Had the President not acted so, what in would it not have been unworthy? He but did his duty: no more: Should we go on passing approbatory acts for individual measures as a kind of stimulus, soon we should see our President gazing for a vote of thanks on his last act, before he would have courage enough to proceed to another.
Mr. Jackson wished the resolution postponed. We had met here for nobler purposes than pouring the oil of adulation on the head of the executive: It would be a violation of our, and it is surely a violation of the mover's principles.
After many pros and cons an adjournment was called for and carried.
SATURDAY, May 27.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire what business is necessary to be done by this house during the present session and that they report thereon to the house.
Mr. Troup suggested the propriety of consulting with the senate what business was necessary to be done during the present session, as had been usual, and the word jointly was inserted. Carried, ayes 83, and a committee of 5 appointed.
Mr. Nelson presented a bill (on the petition of M'Call and others) authorising debentures in certain cases.
Mr. Quincy presented the petition of the sugar refiners of Boston, praying encouragement from government by allowing a drawback on exportation of 5 cents per lb. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
On motion of Mr. Lewis, Resolved, That the committee on post-offices and post roads be instructed to enquire into the expediency of establishing a post route from the town of Trap in the state of Maryland, to the town of Waterford in the state of Virginia.
On motion, Resolved, That the President be requested to cause the secretary at war to lay before this house an estimate of the sums necessary to complete the fortifications already commenced and contemplated to be commenced; also the deficiencies of former appropriations for that object.
Mr. Nelson presented a bill allowing the ships and vessels of foreign nations, intercourse with which is not prohibited by law, to clear out with cargoes. Which was read three times and passed.
The house proceeded by ballot to the choice of a chaplain on their part: first ballot Mr. Lee 55 Mr. Brown 43
The remainder of 119 (60 necessary for a choice) scattered among Messrs Laurie (15) Elliot (1) and Muir (5).
Second ballot, whole number 114, Mr. Lee 70 and is elected.
Approbatory vote—motion to postpone indefinitely—ayes 54—noes 54—lost.
Mr. Stanford submitted the following: Resolved, That the committee appointed to enquire whether any and what prosecutions at common law have been instituted before courts of the United States, in cases of libels, and by what authority, &c. be instructed to enquire, what prosecutions for libels have been instituted before courts of the United States, under the sedition act, and into the expediency of remunerating persons who suffered under the same.
An amendment was moved by Mr. Sawyer—"and also to enquire whether any and what compensation has been made to such suffering persons."
It was contended that the amendment was entirely out of order, as going beyond the powers of the house; that they have no right to institute enquiries into the private transactions of individuals, whatever right they could exercise over public departments.
Amendment lost. Mr. Ross moved another—"and also to enquire whether any and what compensation and remuneration ought to be made to persons who suffered in consequence of their opposition to the act laying and collecting a direct tax."
In opposition to the amendment it was contended: that if the object did not go the whole way, it should not be introduced—that if it embraced the whole procedure, and those who broke a legal statute of the U.S. remunerated for their treason, those who quickly paid their taxes had stronger claims arising from amicable dispositions, and that to grant remuneration would be granting premiums for law breakers; and that if those who suffered under the direct tax be compensated with the same propriety have
those who suffered under the embargo, equal claims. On the general, that if the committee should report in favor of remuneration, that the constitution did not sanction the repayment of any monies forfeited under a judicial act of the legislature.
On the other hand, no opinion as to remuneration was intended to be drawn from the vote; but as the constitutionality of the law has been questioned under which penalties has occurred, it would be submitting it to a committee to investigate, coolly and quietly, and if their report went to allow compensation, it would be a negative to the principle, it would awe ever after legislatures from passing similar laws, so that it was not offering a premium for breaking the law, but an opportunity afforded to enquire, in the calm moments of reflection, after eight years of absence, whether the law was constitutional. On the constitutionality the case of Captain Murray and other officers was cited to shew a precedent where Congress had remitted certain monies, which it was conceived unjust to hold, that there was no direct provision in the constitution on the case, the constitution then thought it did authorise the reception of monies illegally, did not exercise the power of holding them illegally.
Mr. Rhea moved that the resolution with the amendment, be postponed indefinitely, and the question was taken by yeas & nays and passed in the affirmative. Yeas 69—Nays 50.
Mr. Randolph. As so much of the time of this house has been occupied to-day by others, I will add my mite. I rise for the purpose of calling the attention of the house to one of the most important subjects we can bring under our attention. Whether we are to take up but a few special measures before we go into winter quarters, will not depend upon my vote, but I will have discharged my duty in directing the house to the subject of the motion which I am about to make. I on a former occasion expressed an opinion that the existing rules and articles of war were materially defective, and this opinion has been strengthened by men of the greatest military talents in this country. By these rules the knout, the halbert and the bastinado, are made legal agents of correction. The constitution has pointed at the militia as the legitimate body which resort is to be had to for protection in cases of insurrection or sudden invasions.
Are these articles and punishments to operate only on the creature who has sold his God, the creature who has sold himself, to be kicked, and cuffed and shot at for 6d a day? No, sir, but on the yeomanry, the sons of planters and men, the natural inheritors of the soil, who, tho' they would risk every thing for their country's liberty, would never stand to be flogged by the rattle of a petty tyrant, the worst of all tyrants: no sir, and I speak of Virginia, for were a citizen to be brought up to the halberts, the officers, having the temerity to order it would be sacrificed to the just resentment of their soldiers. I do not stand here to advocate the cause of those who sell themselves for a time or for life, who agree to wear livery and striped backs, although their cases I would modify and revise, for if military armies in Europe can be brought to such perfection without these cruel punishments, (and I understand they are totally forbid in the armies of France) can they not be equally perfected in this country among freemen. And inasmuch as the militia are governed by the same rules as the army, I will make my motion so broad as to include both.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to take into consideration the act entitled "an act establishing rules and articles for the government of the army of the U. S." and report whether any and what alterations it is expedient to make, and that they report by bill or otherwise.
Resolution carried and a committee of 7 appointed. A message from the President was read, "I have the honor of transmitting a report of the secretary of war, shewing the returns of the troops of the United States, on the peace establishment, and the returns of the additional army, authorised, &c."
Referred to the committee appointed on that part of the President's message, relating to the military establishment of the U. States, and ordered to be printed.
A number of private petitions were presented this day, and referred to their respective committees.
The house adjourned to meet on Monday 11 o'clock.

Doctor I. J. Comyn,
A professional DENTIST—of Baltimore,
RESPECTFULLY acquaints the LADIES and GENTLEMEN of Alexandria, that he intends to practice in this place for a few days, in all the various branches of his profession. No genteel person of either sex, can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or foetid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and elsewhere. Without giving pain, or hurting the enamel, he removes the tartar, &c. when the teeth will assume a beautiful appearance the gums adhering to the teeth; but if the state of the gums require it, doctor C. will give to the person an antiscorbutic lotion of chemical preparation, which gained the applause of hundreds both in Europe and America. It is pleasant, innocent, and effectual, in smoothing and whitening the teeth and curing the gums, rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweetening the breath. Doctor C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, as to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impossible to distinguish them from real ones. Dr. C. flatters himself from his being regularly bred to the practice of physick, as well as to the Dentist Business, and his long experience on the continent of Europe (France and Spain) to give to all those who favour him with their commands, every possible satisfaction.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, FOR COUGHS.
THE increasing reputation of Hamilton's Elixir (which during the last nine years has become celebrated throughout the U. States,) warrants the assertion that it is the best remedy now in use for colds, obstinate coughs, asthma and approaching consumptions. Experience has taught thousands, that the common opiates and balsamics, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms, that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system increase the difficulty of breathing and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects.
A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs sheathes the acrimonious liquor which irritates them, and finally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder the symptoms are effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicine which weakens the constitution and gives strength to the disorder, or the sake of moderating for the present some of its painful effects.
To parents who have children afflicted with the hooping cough, this discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Select Recommendations.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1806.
Mrs. H. Lee, widow of Richard Lee, jr. Being desirous to make public for the good of others the excellent quality of Hamilton's Elixir, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it; which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these, a constant pain in my breast, and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, but without giving me any relief. Another physician, who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's and I found relief before I had taken half of it. I continued to use it, and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the Elixir.
GEO. BENNER, junior, No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mr. Charles Myers, Hamstead-Hill, near Baltimore, had been a long time dangerously ill, and was reduced to the lowest state of weakness, inasmuch that his recovery appeared extremely doubtful. His complaints which seemed to be affections of the breast and lungs, and general debility occasioned thereby, yielded little, but rather progressed under the treatment of several eminent physicians; when by the use of Hamilton's Elixir, his distressing cough was immediately alleviated, and every other symptom perfectly subdued. Four or five bottles entirely removed his complaints and restored him to an excellent state of health and strength, which he has for upwards of a year past, enjoyed without interruption.
From Luther Martin, esq. late attorney general of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever coughs, colds, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
