RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801. "The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement.

A GENTLEMAN, who has devoted a considerable part of his time to the study of foreign languages and the manner in which they may be taught with most advantage, is desirous to give Lessons in French, which, being now considered as a necessary branch of polite education, he flatters himself to meet with sufficient encouragement—and the method of teaching which he means to adopt, (being that of Mr. A. Defief, so generally approved of) added to a strict attention to a clear and proper pronunciation, will enable his pupils to acquire the language in a shorter time, than that which has hitherto been in use—of which a little experience will prove the truth of his assertion. As his family lives a short distance from Alexandria, he intends to remove to the town as soon as he finds a prospect to defray the expenses of house-keeping, and invites there those who wish to be instructed to make their applications, the sooner the better, to Mr. GENERES, who will give the necessary information. A. B. He likewise proposes to teach the Spanish and German Languages, should any scholars offer. January 17. d.

EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Pickering's Speech continued.]
I now beg leave, sir, to communicate the information I have recently received from the latter of the two merchants before referred to (Mr. Thorndike). Having requested of him the data on which his opinion beforementioned was founded he has sent me an answer (dated the 23d inst.) from which I will read the material parts.
He says, "respecting the comparative trade of profound peace and the present moment, if the embargo should be removed, and the decrees and orders of council remain, it is a subject about which it is difficult to go into that detail, which will show satisfactorily an exact result; because, if you resort to the exports of a year in war, the prices being so different the difference in amount will not give the exact data we want. And to take the quantity of each article of export, will not be satisfactory, because in different years we export more of the same article to the same market, and in proportion to the increased quantity raised, or the goodness or badness of the crop. But of the fact, I have no doubt that our trade would be much greater and more productive if the embargo were removed, than it can be in time of peace; because when the colonial trade of the European powers is confined, as usual, we cannot carry any kind of provisions to the colonies of any of them, without being subject to a heavy duty, nearly equal to a prohibition. And we are not allowed to bring away any thing but rum and molasse, and of course we lose the whole of the colonial trade, as far as respects importing any articles with a view of exporting them again; excepting only from the Isle of France and Bourbon, which has generally been free. But we may be shut out there. The trade to the colonies is now free for all exports and imports with small duties. And if the largest and most natural European markets for the sale of colonial produce are occluded still we have open to us all that the British have, and we can now carry those articles to Sweden, Spain, Portugal, coast of Barbary, Turkey, Sicily, Sardinia, and Malta, the three last of which are ports at which the articles sell high, and are bought for the purpose of smuggling over to the continent where they are sent in great quantities."
The following statement is then given of the amount of our exports from the 30th September, 1806, to September 30, 1807, (taken from the report of the secretary of the treasury) to countries and places other than those to Europe which are under the government or control, or in alliance with the French emperor, which are considered as shut up by the British orders in council.
  Domestic exports (or of articles of the growth produce or manufacture of the United States) $ 36,109,991   Foreign goods exported, 24,140,495   60,250,486 
To this may be added Spanish dollars, exported to India and China, and which are not noticed in the report of the secretary of the treasury, and may be estimated at least at $ 6,000,000
Whole amount, $ 66,250,486 "This amount may be exported without being subject to the British orders of council and the extra premiums against French captures, would not exceed the following rates, viz."
To Sweden 2 per cent; Swedish and other West Indies, and the Spanish Main, 3 do; Cape of Good Hope, 4 do; England, Scotland, without the Channel, say Liverpool, Greenock, Ireland, &c. &c. 4 do; And within the Channel, 6 do; Guernsey,
Jersey, &c 4 do; Gibraltar, 6 do; Spanish ports in the Bay of Biscay, 3 do; Spanish ports on the Atlantic, 3 do; Spanish ports on the Mediterranean, 5 do; Madeira, the Canaries, Fayal, and other Azores, 3 do; Portugal, 3 do; Cape de Verd, 3 do; Sicily, 5 do; Malta, 6 do; China, 4 do; Sumatra, 3 do; Calcutta and the coast of Coromandel and Malabar, 5 do; Africa, 4 do; Arabia and Red Sea, including Mocha and Muscat, 4 do; Manila, 4 do; North-West coast of America, 2 do; Halifax and Newfoundland, 1 do.
"In time of profound peace, our trade might be fairly estimated thus:
  Domestic exports. Foreign exports.   48,699,592 Nothing.   To which may be added specie to China and India, 6,000,000 In time of peace these must be so very inconsiderable as to be unimportant in this statement. 
$ 54,699,592
This is supposing the same domestic articles as were exported in 1806, and allowing them to be at the same prices; so that the comparison stands thus:
Our exports, if the embargo were removed, would be $ 66,250,486
Free from any embarrassment from the British orders in council.
If peace were to take place, and the European nations assume their trade as usual; and the price of our domestic articles remain as the average prices in 1806 (which they would not) we should export, 54,699,592
Leaving $ 11,550,894 less export trade in time of peace than we might now enjoy; and which amount is to be twice water born, once in importing it from the places of growth, and again in carrying it to the consumers; and of course would employ shipping appertaining to the carriage of one freight equal in amount to more than twenty-three millions, one hundred thousand dollars.
As an evidence of the correctness of this statement, it will be seen, by recurrence to the statement of the secretary of the treasury for the year 1803, that the exports had fallen in that short peace from 93,020,513 dolls. to 55,800,033 dollars.
It is to be observed that we might now enjoy a trade to South America and the Spanish Main, which might be estimated at least at from four to five millions of dollars, a considerable part of which would be again exported to Spain and Portugal, and which has never made any part of the secretary's report; because the trade to those countries has been prohibited until lately. It may also be remembered, that the export trade does not show the whole advantage of the colonial trade which we might now enjoy; because all we import for our own consumption ought to be added.
[Here Mr. Lloyd stated that in his opinion the value of the trade which might now be prosecuted from the United States, considering the present circumstances of the great nations of Europe, would be as extensive as could be carried on after a general peace, and the adoption by the European powers, of their restrictive colonial systems.]
On this clear and interesting view of the commerce which the United States might carry on, were the embargo out of the way, no comments are necessary. The observations of the writer of the letter, are evidences of his being master of the subject.
Mr. President, the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Giles] has been pleased to attribute the discontents in New-England, especially in Massachusetts, relative to the embargo, solely to the arts of demagogues, who wish to get into office.
The gentleman from Connecticut noticed this reproach: but as it appeared to be levelled chiefly at leading citizens in Massachusetts, I feel it to be my duty further to remark, that of all the citizens of the United States, none stand more aloof from, none more detest the character of demagogues, than those to whom the gentleman referred. I know those men who reprobate the embargo, and who in conversation and in the newspapers express their sentiments about it, or patronize those who do. They are not seeking for offices; many of them could not be persuaded to accept the best office in a president's gift; but to save their country from the effect of measures, in their view, alike ruinous and disgraceful. They are men, sir, whose age, whose experience, whose knowledge, whose wisdom, whose virtues, place them in the first rank of citizens. They are men, sir, ten of whom, had they been in Sodom, would have saved that city from destruction. Among them was the immortal AMES, than whom a purer
spirit never left the earth. He wrote while he had strength to hold a pen. He died on the anniversary morning of the nation's birth day—and this was among the last of his prayers! O! Save my country! [Speech to be continued.]
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, December 30.
DEBATE.
On the Resolution for raising Fifty Thousand Volunteers.
[CONTINUED.]
MR. EPPES said there was no man who regretted more than himself that at a period when the safety, honor and independence of this country were assailed by external danger; when, under the pressure of a measure resorted to under circumstances of the most urgent necessity, the citizens of this country had manifested a feeling calculated to excite sensations here and elsewhere—that such a period should be seized by gentlemen not to exert their talents in steering the national bark through the billows by which it was surrounded, but in endeavoring to thwart every measure proposed. The gentleman from N. York (said Mr. E.) has told us that he will sound the tocsin of alarm to the people. And what is the project of the gentleman himself? Why, he has told you on a former day, openly, honestly and fairly, that he is for a war with France; he is willing to pocket all the injuries which we have received from G. Britain, and to go to war with France. In vain would the gentleman sound the tocsin of alarm, if this is his project. The people of the U. S. would not go with him. It is not the sentiment of any portion of our citizens, except of the old Tories of our revolution. He would not be followed by the American people in taking to his bosom a nation which has murdered your citizens, and making war upon a nation which has pillaged your commerce—I cannot reconcile the project with my ideas of moral principle. He would not be followed by the federalists—I cannot believe that those who walked in procession after the body of the murdered Pierce, could stamp on themselves the character of base hypocrisy, by taking to their bosom the nation which committed the outrage, while the blood of Pierce and a host of other injuries more degrading, remain yet unatoned for. All our injuries remain unredressed; not the smallest apology has been made, but the feelings of the country not only disregarded but insulted by new acts of violence and injustice. The gentleman's project to save the honor of the nation is submission to England and war with France. I pronounce with confidence it is not the sentiment of the American people; the gentleman from N. York has taken occasion to introduce the name of Washington. He never would have been willing to put chains on his countrymen, to consent to a shackled commerce—to allow foreign nations to say to his country, this far you shall go and no farther. This is not the spirit of Washington. It is not the spirit which produced the revolution; opposition to tyrants and a manly assertion of our rights at every hazard, gave us our rank as an independent nation. The same spirit still pervades our country, and I trust will ever remain. It never, however, has been the policy of this government to rush rashly into war. The history of our country under former administrations, demonstrates this fact; and under the administration of Washington, as well as under every other, we have borne with patience degrading insult and injury. As to the great regard of former administrations for the personal rights of the citizen, on which the gentleman has dwelt, I shall not go into that part of the subject.—In laying an embargo, even in the time of Washington, a short resolution was passed in which the power was vested and the execution left to the executive. This was tho't at that time very constitutional and proper, no doubt, by the federalists. We, however, can frame no constitutional law on this subject, although they could very constitutionally adopt the old maxim, so I will it, and enforce their system. While, however, I am not disposed to excite unpleasant sensations, by bringing into view acts of former administrations, I believe that a statement of the course pursued under gen. Washington and Mr. Adams, as to foreign nations, will show that it has never been our policy to plunge rashly into war. I beg leave to read on this subject an extract from a speech delivered in 1803.
"Our differences with G. Britain were coeval with the treaty of peace. The detention of the western posts was a direct violation of that treaty; it directed a considerable portion of the fur trade from the U. S. and disabled us from bridling the hostile Indians, which was a source of immense in-
jury. This evil continued for twelve years, under every circumstance of aggravation and insult. British soldiers issued from those forts into parts of our territory, where they exercised jurisdiction, and seized the persons of deserters without the aid or sanction of the authorities of the country, and these possessions served as asylums for the savages who were in hostile array against us—and as store-houses and magazines to supply them with arms, ammunition and provisions. The seat of government of Upper Canada was also held for a time at Niagara in the state of N. York, an indignity of the most marked character—many thousands of negroes were also carried off in violation of the treaty, and a very serious injury was thereby inflicted on the agricultural pursuit of our southern citizens."
"It is well known that we were engaged in a bloody and expensive war with several of the Indian tribes—that two of our armies had been routed by them, and that we were finally compelled to make great efforts to turn the tide of victory. These Indians were encouraged and aided by the emissaries of G. Britain—British subjects were disguised fighting in their ranks, and British agents were known to furnish them with provisions and the implements of war. The governor-general of Canada, a highly confidential and distinguished officer, delivered a speech to the seven nations of Lower Canada, exciting them to enmity against this country; but in order to furnish the savages at war with sufficient aid, a detachment of British troops penetrated into our territory and erected a fort on the Miami river. Here the Indians, dispersed and defeated by Wayne, took refuge, and were protected under the muzzle of British cannon. A violation of territory is one of the most flagrant injuries which can be offered to a nation, and would in most cases justify an immediate resort to arms, because in most cases essential to self-defence. Not content with exciting the savages of America against us, G. Britain extended her hostility to the eastern hemisphere, and let loose her barbarians of Africa upon us. A war existed at that time between Portugal and Algiers. The former blocked up the mouth of the Streights, by her superior naval force, and prevented the pirates from a communication with the Atlantic. Portugal has been for a long time subservient to the views of G. Britain. A peace was effected through the mediation of the latter. Our unprotected merchantmen were then exposed, without defence, to the piracies of Algiers. For in three quarters of the globe we at one time felt the effects of British enmity. In the mean time our commerce in every sea was exposed to her rapacity. All France was declared in a state of siege, and the conveyance of provisions expressly interdicted to neutrals. Paper blockades were substituted for actual ones, and the staple commodities of our country were perishing in our store-houses, or were captured on the ocean, and diverted from the lawful proprietors. Our seamen were pressed wherever found. Our protections were a subject of derision, and opposition to the imperious mandates of their haughty tyrants, was punished by famine or by stripes—by imprisonment or by the gibbet. To complete the full measure of our wrongs, the November orders of 1793 were issued; our ships were swept from the ocean, as if by the operation of enchantment—hundreds of them were captured—almost all our merchants were greatly injured, and many of them reduced to extreme poverty. These proceedings, without even a pretext, without the forms of justice, without the semblance of equity, were calculated to inflame every American feeling, and to nerve every American arm—Negotiation was however pursued, an error extraordinary, in every sense of the word, was sent to demand redress, and a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, was forced and ratified. These events took place under the administration of Washington. The Spanish treaty, concluded on the 27th October, 1795, stipulated for a settlement of boundaries, and an adjustment of stipulations on commerce, and contained a declaration of the free navigation of the Mississippi, and a grant of the privilege of deposit at N. Orleans. This treaty for more than two years afterwards, was not executed on the part of Spain. In January, 1798, a report was made to Mr. Adams, by Mr. Secretary Pickering, and submitted to congress, which charged Spain with retaining her troops and garrisons within the U. S. with evading to run the boundary line, with stopping, controlling, and regulating the passage of our citizens on the Mississippi, and with sending emissaries among the Indians residing within our territories, in violation of the treaty and the relations of amity. Here then, a treaty securing the important benefit of deposit, was in a state of inexecution for a long period. Our citizens were also interrupted in the free navigation

the Mississippi, and other aggressions, affecting our territorial rights, and our internal peace, were superadded." "An amicable explanation was had with Spain, and our wrongs were satisfactorily redressed. This took place in the administration of Mr. Adams, and when most of the honorable gentlemen who support this war resolution, except such as were dangling in the courts of Europe, held prominent stations in the councils of the country."
"Our differences with France were of a more serious nature, and of a longer duration. They commenced in the administration of Mr. Washington, and were adjusted in that of his successor. Great and enormous depredations were committed upon our commerce by France, and our merchants were fraudulently robbed of compensation for provisions supplied her in the hour of distress. The treaty and consular convention were violated. The right of embargo, a sacred right, respected even by the fiercest savages, was wantonly trampled upon; and the representative of our national sovereignty was refused a reception, and ignominiously ordered out of France. A fresh attempt at negotiation was made—three ministers were sent, armed with all the powers, and clothed with all the honors of diplomacy. They were also refused a hearing, and were forced to leave the country without experiencing the forms of common civility. The treaty was then annulled, and reprisals directed; and when the honorable gentlemen and their friends, then in power, had worked up the passions of the nation to her highest pitch of exasperation—when war, bloody war, was expected from all quarters—when the war worn soldiers of the revolution were girding on their swords, and preparing to stand between their country and the danger that menaced her, the scene suddenly changed; the black cloud passed away; and we again beheld three ministers at Paris, extending the olive branch, burying all animosities, and returning with a treaty of "firm, inviolable, and universal peace, and true and sincere friendship."
[Speech to be continued.]
BY THE LAST MAIL.
NEW YORK, January 14.
At a meeting of many thousands of such citizens of the city of New York, as disapprove of the recent measures of the administration, particularly of the "Act making further provisions for enforcing the embargo," at Mechanic Hall, on Friday, 13th Jan 1808.
On motion of Judge Pendleton,
The hon. EGBERT BENSON, esq.
Was chosen chairman, and
EDWARD DUNSCOMB, Sec'y.
Mr. Pendleton on behalf of the committee appointed to prepare and submit to their fellow citizens certain resolutions for their consideration, in the present alarming crisis of our public affairs, informed the meeting that the committee was prepared to report.
Ordered, on motion, the same be received and read, and thereupon the following resolutions were read:
"Resolved, That it is always the right of the people, and in times of immediate danger their indispensable duty, peaceably to assemble and declare their opinions on the measures of government, and the state of public affairs."
"Resolved, That the U. States, placed along an extreme sea coast, and upon the banks of great navigable lakes and rivers, have, by a successful pursuit of commerce, risen in wealth and power with a rapidity unexampled in the history of nations:—a propensity, which, under Divine Providence, was owing to the wise and prudent policy of former administrations; who, while they resisted injustice with firmness and energy, cultivated with good sense and impartiality, peace and friendship with foreign nations."
"Resolved, That the conduct of the government, in 1793, supported by the people in the measures then adopted, was completely successful, and in an illustrious instance, which can never be forgotten, fully demonstrated that it is always both wiser and safer to repel first aggressions with spirit, than by tame and submissive acquiescence invite a repetition of injuries and insults."
"Resolved, That if the like conduct had been pursued by the present administration on the promulgation of the Decree of Berlin in consequence would, in all probability have been the same, and the national interests would have been promoted and the national honor preserved."
"Resolved, That the acts of Congress laying a permanent embargo, are repugnant to the habits, and injurious to the welfare of the people; not to be justified by the state of public affairs, and inconsistent with the spirit of the constitution."
Resolved , That this and other ruinous measures of the administration have paralyzed every branch of industry, reduced the value of property, distressed all classes of our fellow citizens, extinguished commerce, discouraged agriculture, nearly annihilated the public revenue, and must eventually load the people with heavy and oppressive taxes.
Resolved , That the amendment to the Constitution of the U. States declaring that "the right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated; and that no warrant shall issue upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized," and that "excessive bail shall not be required nor excessive fines imposed," are essential to the enjoyment of liberty and property, but that the act making further provision for enforcing the embargo is a violation of the same—Inasmuch as the executive officers are authorised, upon their own mere suspicion, to enter any place (not excepting even our dwelling houses) where specie or goods of domestic growth and manufacture are deposited, and take the same into their custody, or may stop and detain any vessel or any sort of carriage by land apparently going towards the territories of a foreign power or towards the vicinity thereof; all which they may do without oath, without the interposition of a civil magistrate or process of law, & without being obliged to assign any cause for such violence: Inasmuch as the president or even any person he may choose by a simple mandate to appoint, may call out the land and naval forces of the United States to assist in enforcing this provision of the act—Inasmuch as the President is invested with the power to give secret instructions at his will and pleasure to his various deputies, which are to be their guide in the execution of the said act; which they are bound to obey, and which are to be their complete protection against any appeal to the law of the land at the suit of the aggrieved: Inasmuch also as in many cases excessive bonds are required, and the citizens subjected to enormous penalties and vexatious suits, in which innocence is no defence, followed by ruinous judgments against which there is no possible relief, but by application to the mere discretion of the very ministerial officer at whose recommendation this odious law was adopted; in all which and several other provisions of the said act, it is in our judgment, arbitrary, oppressive and unconstitutional.
Resolved , That we are ready to expose ourselves to every hazard, and every sacrifice of life and fortune to preserve the safety, honor, peace, and liberties of the country.
Resolved , That whilst we cannot forbear to express a want of confidence in the wisdom and the impartiality of our present rulers, yet in a period of so much difficulty and danger, we feel it our duty solemnly to call upon our fellow citizens, however aggrieved to act with the utmost caution and moderation, and to abstain from every thing that might endanger the peace and safety of the country, or put the union of the states in jeopardy.
Resolved , That it be recommended to our fellow citizens throughout this state peaceably to assemble in their several counties, to take into consideration the alarming crisis of our public affairs; to unite with us in our endeavors to obtain a redress of grievances, and by averting the calamities which threaten our beloved country restore it to its elevated prosperity and honor, which it enjoyed under our Immortal Washington.

We understand Mr. Jefferson yesterday released his curs from a dilemma by communicating to Congress a copy of Mr. Canning's letter to Mr. Pinkney as published in our paper of Monday—What will the sagacious forgery gentlemen say to this?
MR. SNOWDEN,
WHILE the affluent citizen is enjoying domestic happiness, the floods of his pleasure are too impetuous to allow, for a moment, thoughts to impose themselves pleading for his distressed townsmen, which fortune has blessed with a less propitious hand—yet there are many, very many objects, that the waste of a rich man's table would make smile with gladness at obtaining, while the benedictions of a happy family, would reach the ear of an approving God.—Oh! for a poor man's prayer! Amongst us, some measure should be taken to alleviate the state of those who are needy—to arrest from want the helpless wanderer on our inactive streets; already has the severity of the northern umpire passed our threshold; and did we but hear, has bled from the hearts of the widow and her orphans, bitter sighs of woe, while the little urchins shelter them under the wing of their parent, from the midnight blast, mingling their cries with the whistling wind, that steals through the seams of their inhospitable abode. Other towns have taken steps to relieve their poor: Should humanity be shut out from this? That some one active in the cause of distressed nature may improve upon this hint, is the motive of

"THE EMBARGO TELLS."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Onondago county, New York, to his friend in Georgetown, dated Dec. 28, 1808.
"Things are in great disorder here.—During the last week there were sold on different executions a number of likely cattle, the price not exceeding four dollars per head. This day have been sold 70 bushels of wheat, at 2s. 7d. per bushel.—I think if our laws are not a little milder, there will be several bold pushes made to take our produce into Canada, in spite of the embargo laws and non-importation act."
Legislature of Virginia.
Thursday, the house of delegates were resolved into a committee of the whole, Mr. Wooding in the chair, on "a bill to amend the act entitled an act to amend the several laws concerning slaves." The first section provides, that so much of the act of January, 1806, should be repealed, as "prohibits persons residing in this state, who now are or hereafter may be entitled to any slave in any other of the U. S. by devise, descent, or marriage from removing them into this state." The bill also furnishes a method of authenticating, within 60 days, the manner in which any such person may acquire his or her title, to such slave.—There are other provisions in the bill.
An amendment was moved in the 1st section, by Mr. Peyton, to authorise persons residing without the state, and coming into this state, with a bona fide intention of residing in it, to bring their slaves.—Lost, ayes 58, noes 73.
A proposition was made to strike out the first section. Carried, ayes 72, nays 69.
The committee then rose, and upon a motion being made, in the house, to postpone the further consideration of the bill till the 31st of March, it was carried, ayes 79, noes 73.

TERRAPIN RULE OF THREE; OR THE QUESTION STATED: "EMBARGO, SUBMISSION, OR WAR."
Terrapin. Will you have embargo? Anti-terrapi. No. Terrapi. Will you submit? Anti-terrapi. No. Terrapi. Will you have war? Anti-terrapi. No, it is wholly unnecessary; you may easily settle with England, you might have done so before, but you have been deceiving us, you have not tried in earnest to do so, as your own documents prove. We therefore will not have embargo, for that is submission and absolute ruin—but we wish a settlement upon honorable terms, which we have no doubt may be obtained.
Terrapi. rubs his eyes and says—"You wish to drive us into war, an unpopular war, that you may get into our places."
Anti-terrapi. Your foolish measures may produce the thing you appear to dread—war. The continuance of the embargo will inevitably produce the thing you certainly dread—that is, being kicked out of your places. The only possible chance you have to save yourselves, is to change your conduct, take off the embargo, and offer fair and honorable terms of conciliation to Great-Britain, and there is no doubt of your obtaining a just settlement. Should you do this, and there is no deception, and Great-Britain should refuse an accommodation, upon just and reasonable terms, you may then expect your country will stand by you, in any untoward event, but not otherwise. And in order to make people believe you are sincere, remove the embargo immediately.
Terrapi. Oh dear! Oh dear! I have said the embargo was a "wise measure," "a strong measure," that it "would save our property, save our seamen, and bring Great Britain to terms," and now must I acknowledge that this is all nonsense? No, I'll not yield—I submit? No, rather perish commerce—let us turn Chinese—turn any thing but the thing we cannot—that is, to the right about; therefore, "stick close to the embargo."

They were a little tarnished, but do not appear to have lost weight. One of them bears an impression of the tooth of the bull.

Astonishing Female Artist.
[This young Lady's performance is entirely different from the young Lady's who performed in Alexandria about a year since.]
THE Ladies and Gentlemen of Alexandria are respectfully informed, that a more singular and surprising instance of the wonderful productions of nature, was, perhaps, never so apparently demonstrated, as in the case of MISS SARAH ROGERS, a young Lady who has performed in Baltimore for some time past, and by the solicitations of a number of reputable families, has been induced to spend a few days in Alexandria, at Mr. Thornton's, King-street, between Water and Union-streets.
Miss ROGERS is a native of New Hampshire—she was born without the use of either hands or feet, but the amends made in the exercise of her other faculties, surpasses all human belief; without the use of any of her limbs, and with her mouth only, she will paint elegant Flowers and Landscapes, Mix Colours, Write, Thread a Needle, Cut Paper, or Cloth with the Scissors, held in her mouth, &c. &c.
Those ladies and gentlemen, who are desirous of seeing the displays of genius exhibited by this Young Lady, and one of the fine arts explored in a most extraordinary manner, without the natural use of the hands and arms, and with the mouth only, are invited to improve the present and perhaps the only opportunity they ever will have, of partaking of this delightful and rational amusement, as they may not in a great number of years, if ever again, behold so pleasing and wonderful a sight.
Hours of admission every day and evening, (Sundays excepted) from nine o'clock in the morning till nine in the evening.
Admission twenty-five cents.

Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS, prepared (only) at Lee's Patent Medicine store , No. 56 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York
Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.

The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting effort to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so 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.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harp-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operates so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
