The number of pages cannot be ascertained, though it is expected, from the matter of which the book will be composed, (there being ninety-five new chapters in the continuation from 1801 to 1805, and upwards of one hundred omitted acts) that it will contain nearly as many pages as the last edition.

RESOLUTIONS
Of a number of the inhabitants of Wood county. Firmly attached to the Constitution of the U. States and the constituted authorities, and viewing with a jealous eye, the apparently hostile motions and nefarious designs of certain characters, it was resolved at a meeting of sundry citizens of Wood county, Virginia, held on the 6th day of October 1806, for the purpose of taking into consideration the measures necessary to be adopted, in this alarming crisis, to counteract if possible, what is supposed to be the ambitious and disorganizing views of AARON BURR and his partisans in this Western country.
That it is expedient that the citizens of Wood county should without delay, form themselves into a volunteer corps, or body of men, train themselves to arms and military discipline for the purpose of defending themselves and their property from any threatened attack, and by repelling any aggression that may be attempted by insurgents inimical to the interests of the United States until some more effective steps shall be adopted by the President of the United States. To effect this laudable purpose it is ordered, that six subscription papers be immediately drafted and handed round the country in order to procure subscribers to the same enrolling themselves in said body. That it is proper that a meeting should be held of the persons enlisting themselves as aforesaid, at the courthouse of Wood county on the 11th day of this present month for the purpose of choosing by ballot proper officers to command said corps and adopt proper rules and regulations for their future conduct.
Alexander Henderson, Peter Anderson, Robert Kincheloe, Thomas Tavenner, James Compton, and James G. Laidley are appointed to hand round said subscription papers. Ordered that the commandant of the 113th regiment of Virginia militia, be requested to use the most effective measures in his power to collect the public arms of said regiment and have them forthcoming at the courthouse of Wood county on the said 11th day of this present month. And also that the persons appointed to hand round the aforesaid subscription papers should request the subscribers to their respective papers to bring forward any private arms they may be in possession of at the same time.
2. Resolved that a permanent committee of five persons be appointed to regulate the proceedings necessary to be pursued, and the measures necessary to be adopted during the existence of danger—and Hugh Phelps, Jacob Beeson, Robert Kincheloe, Alexander Henderson, and George Creel, jun. are appointed to compose said committee, and James Wilson is appointed secretary to said committee, with power of summoning said committee whenever an emergency may seem to require it—and empowering said committee when met to summon meetings of the citizens of Wood county.
3. Resolved that an address be drawn up expressive of the sentiments of the citizens of Wood county upon this occasion, and forwarded to the President of the United States.
4. Resolved that a copy of the foregoing proceedings be forwarded to the Printers of the Ohio and Monongalia Gazettes to be printed in their respective newspapers, and that a printed copy of the same be forwarded with as much expedition as possible to the President of the United States, and another to the Governor of Virginia. JAMES WILSON, Sec'y. October 18, 1806.
NEW-ORLEANS, Oct. 2.
The letters received by this day's mail from Natchez and Fort Adams, state that every preparation is making to meet and repel Spanish encroachments. All the remaining regular force that was left by colonel Kingsbury at Fort Adams, has marched under the command of captain Sparks, for Natchitoches. Major Ferdinand L. Claiborne, was hourly expected when the mail left Fort Adams with captain Farrar's troop of dragoons, and a handsome detachment of militia, on their march to Natchitoches, via Rapide—no doubt now exists but blood will be shed unless the Spaniards fall back. October 6.
A letter from Opelousas, of the 24th ult. states that Governor Claiborne had just arrived, and that the militia were under marching orders. General Wilkinson and the Governor met at the county of Rapide; the first repaired to Natchitoches, and the latter is on his way to New-Orleans, but will be detained for a few days. We know not what will be the final issue of our affairs with Spain, but appearances strongly indicate the commencement of hostilities.
A gentleman just arrived from Opelousas, has obligingly favored the editors with the following authentic information respecting that country.
On Tuesday the 23d of September last his Excellency Governor Claiborne, accompanied by Mr. Hopkins, arrived at Camp Hamilton, from Natchitoches. In obedience to orders previously received by col. Thompson, the militia of Opelousas county were mustered, and the necessity pointed out to them by the general order, of either volunteering their services, or submitting to the humiliating necessity of being drafted. The first company to whom this intelligence was conveyed, consisted of 33 persons, of whom 32 instantly volunteered themselves
in the service of their country. Of another company double as numerous, only 14 persons offered themselves, and to the honor of Columbia be it known, that the chief, if not the whole of these volunteers are Americans, who have not forgotten the motto of their fathers, Conquer or perish.
Captain Hallett had organized a troop of horse, elegantly uniformed and mounted, in a very short time.
The guard left by captain Bowyer, in charge of Camp Hamilton, had received orders to march on Friday the 26th September, and the militia, cavalry and infantry were to follow them the next day.

GENERAL ORDERS.
Nashville, Oct. 4th, 1806.
The late conduct of the Spanish government, added to the hostile appearance, and menacing attitude of their armed forces already encamped within the limits of our government, make it necessary that the militia under my command, should be in complete order and at a moment's warning ready to march.
This armed force under the sanction of their government, have imprisoned and transported five of the good citizens of the United States to the dominions of Spain. They have cut down, and carried off, the flag of the U. States, which was erected in the Caddo nation of Indians and within the limits of the United States. They have compelled by force, men in the employ of the government, when exploring the Red river, to desist, and come home, and they have taken an unjustifiable and insulting position east of the river Sabine and within the territory of New-Orleans!!! Acts thus daring as well as degrading to our national character and constituted rights, demand prompt satisfaction and cannot fail to excite that resentment becoming so natural on the occasion.
In the first instance, gentlemen, let it be recollected that our good materials—our best of men, must be properly disciplined, and in this way the preparation cannot be too great to meet the wishes of the general and the exigencies of our country. Inspired with the laudable ambition of avenging our country's wrongs, and impelled by the most cogent necessity of defending our national dignity and liberties, it is calculated that but one voice will be heard among us, and that will be, for preparation and discipline.
You are therefore, without delay, ordered to place your brigade on the most respectable footing, and be in readiness to furnish the quota required of you at the shortest notice.—All volunteer companies well equipped will be accepted of—if the full quota can be raised by voluntary enlistment, it will answer government a better purpose than by pressing them from their families by draft; but if it be discovered that this cannot be done, you will direct that the effective men be classed, and that the law in this respect be particularly attended to, and when the government and constituted authorities of our country require it, they must be in readiness to march.
Two regiments, it is expected, from my division (in the event of a call) will be required, and no doubt if more are in readiness to march, a tender of their services will be accepted.
You will, gentlemen, take the most speedy method of obtaining correct information, of the number that can be raised by voluntary enlistment within your respective brigades, through your colonels or in such other manner as may to you be most regular and proper, after this information shall have been required, forward the same to the general by mail.
ANDREW JACKSON, Maj. Gen. 2d division. BY WILLIAM P. ANDERSON, Aid de Camp. To the generals commanding, within the 2d division.
Extract of a letter from an officer dated Rapide of Red river, September 20, 1806, communicated for the Balt. Evening Post.
"DEAR SIR, "We are within sixty miles of Natchitoches, where we have met Claiborne and letters from Cushing, which leave no sort of doubt, that the Spaniards mean to dispute ground with us at the point of the sword; and that they are augmenting their forces. The governors Cordero and Herrera will be opposed to the poor American brigadier "tant mieux." The general has called on the two territories for militia. Claiborne will furnish 450 and Meade 250 men only; no matter, we have a few hundred confidential, and the greater the disparity of force, the more fame. We shall be ready in ten or twelve days and then the governors must retrace, or taste our steel. Claiborne and Cushing have remonstrated strongly and repeatedly to Herrera, who with much decision repels their demands and reiterates his determination to maintain the territory of his master east of the Sabine. The rights of humanity and the genius of his country will induce general Wilkinson to make one more attempt at conciliation, but he will be prepared to strike the moment it is rejected. The accounts we have of the Spanish camp and equipments are marvellous; they are represented as disorderly, undisciplined and overcharged with the precious metals. What think you of a subaltern bringing with him thirty thousand dollars for pocket money in doubloons. Who knows but we may make a coup d'or and secure a birth in the bed of honor—fifteen days will decide." Agryre.

The review of politics by Mr. Barrere, which appears in this day's Argus, contains some passages which may lead to a conjecture, that the ambitious views of Bonaparte are truly stupendous.
It is remarkable, that all mention of Spain as an independent power is omitted; she seems to constitute a part of what is called the federal empire. It is said, that there ought to be no other boundaries between nations, but those of great empires, and it is plainly hinted to the emperor of Russia that he must seek aggrandizement and empire in Persia and India. Austria is commended for being solely occupied in the regeneration of Turkey. If it should be Bonaparte's intention to exclude Russia from all influence in the affairs of Europe, to deprive the emperor of Austria of his dominions, and to throw him upon Turkey for indemnity, who can say that it is not in his power to accomplish his designs?
As we feel the most perfect security respecting any attempts which may be made to alienate the minds of our western brethren, we entertain no other sentiment on the development of this conspiracy but curiosity. We only venture one conjecture on a subject so delicate as it respects individuals, which is, that if there are any grounds for the rumors which have gone forth, it will be found that the object of the conspiracy has been, not so much a co-operation with Spain against the authority of the United States, as an attack on the Spanish possessions, in defiance of that authority. We call the attention of our readers to the exaggerated accounts of Spanish wealth, which appear to be circulated among the people of the west.
[There are two opposite methods of gaining access to the confidence of those whom we address. The first is the most obvious one, and one which honest men usually prefer, that of professing to believe what we relate. The second is, by pretending not to believe it. The two following extracts one from the Philadelphia Gazette, the other from the Aurora, furnish striking examples of these different kinds of eloquence.]
It is reported that a spirit hostile to the sovereignty of the General Government is manifesting itself in the state of Kentucky. The report has not reached us in an authentic shape; neither are we, from our own knowledge, disposed, to believe that there is any just or reasonable ground of alarm on this subject. It is very true, that several of the papers printed in Kentucky have openly advocated the right and expediency of dissolving their connexion with the Union. The same opinion we know, prevails with many with regard to the Eastern and Southern States. Kentucky is at present afflicted with the curse of two violent and inveterate parties; but their struggle is confined to local and state politics. Nothing has appeared in print, either in that state or at the seat of government, to warrant the expectation of so serious a calamity as a civil war.—Phil. Gaz.
The Philadelphia Gazette, which has the facility of obscuring every subject which it touches, has ventured to say somewhat about major Jackson's revolution in Kentucky. It is not true that any paper in Kentucky has advocated or now advocates openly or indirectly a separation of that part of the union from the Cis-montane country—the idea has indeed been started by men who are of what is called the third party—for example Granger suggested to the editor of this paper the formation of a party composed of the western states and the western part of Pennsylvania, which with Jersey and the eastern states was to give the law to the union; but no idea of separation was ever started excepting by the federalists who rather than not rule would destroy the union; a senator of the United States did also mention the subject to the editor of this paper; but the whole project had in view the sole purpose of creating an interest favorable to the Yazoo speculation: a member of congress did, indeed, declare at Washington, that if the Yazoo speculators did not accomplish their purpose through congress, they would carry an armed force into the country and take possession by force.
Kentucky is not at present afflicted by any faction—the development of the "Spanish association" has excited much temporary feeling, but it has nothing to do with either of the prominent parties, democrats or federalists; an attempt has been made indeed to form a third party both in Ohio and Kentucky—Granger has employed all his resources in the former state, and Burr in the latter, but we very much question if both would not be forced to quit with the rogue's march, if their place of residence was known in either state.—Aurora.
Various erroneous statements respecting the expiration of the British treaty having been lately circulated through the newspapers, we think it may be useful to repeat what we observed on a former occasion, that according to the limitation expressed in the 28th article, it expired on the 1st of October, 1803, except as to the ten first articles, which are permanent. All the articles except those ten and the 12th article, were limited to a term of twelve years from the date of the ratification; but the 12th article (which was only partially ratified) was to expire two years after the signing of preliminary or other articles of peace, and it was provided that if in the interim no new arrangements on the subject of this article should be concluded between the two nations the whole treaty except the ten first articles should expire with the 12th art. No such arrangements however were substituted, and the condition taking effect, all the articles, except the ten first, ceased two years after the signing of the preliminaries of the late general peace, that is to say, they ceased on the 1st of Oct. 1803. It may not be amiss
to add that this construction has been acquiesced in by the British government. (National Intelligencer.)
As there have lately appeared in several newspapers, various accounts of Mr. Mango Parke and his fellow travellers in Africa, the following extract of a letter from him to his friend at Goree, being the only authentic information received since he reached the river Niger, will no doubt prove acceptable to those who feel an interest in the fate of that enterprising man.
"Sandsanding, Eamboura, November 10, 1804."
"My dear friend—We left the Gambia in good health & spirits, and continued travelling with the greatest and most flattering prospect of success, till we had crossed the Falam river and entered Minskodo; here, alas! the rainy season commenced, and the soldiers were affected with fevers. The fever had at first the appearance of typhus, but in a few days the yellow tinge of the skin convinced us that we had a more dangerous disease to contend with. [Here he relates his method of treatment, which, he says, he has every reason to believe would have been very successful, had they had proper convenience, and not been exposed to the heat of the sun.] Our numbers diminished very rapidly; for as the rainy season advanced, the dysentery made its appearance, and we reached the river (22d August) in a very weak and sickly state. On our arrival we had a long palaver with the king of Eamboura, and received permission to pass to the eastward, and arrived at Thippla (Sankasanding) where we have resided near two months, fitting out our schooner and laying in provisions. The healthy season is now set in, and I indulge the hope of reaching the coast before any more of us drop off. Out of forty four Europeans who left the Gambia in good health, only Lieut. Martin and three soldiers, of the Royal Africans corps, and myself, remain alive. I have not had a day's sickness since I left Goree. Mr. Anderson, my brother, friend and companion, died of a dysentery on the 29th of October, and Mr. Scott of a fever two months ago."
"I am yours, &c. (Signed) "MUNGO PARKE." The guide who brought these letters says, that he saw Mr. Parke to the eastward of Sandsanding, after the date of his letter. He also reports, that there was an English ship in the Gambia that had letters on board from Mr. Parke, for his Britannic majesty's secretary of state.

In a well written essay, on the subject of peace or war, published in the London Morning Post of the 13th August, we find the following observations on the importance of the trade to South America, and on the expedition of Miranda.—Mer. Adv.
"Bonaparte now holding, directly or indirectly, most of the keys of the European markets, British ministers, endowed with due foresight and judgment, should have seen the imperious necessity of opening new markets to our staple manufactures, in the three remaining quarters of the globe. South America, from the Mexican gulf to Cape Horn, is the rich continent they should have emancipated and rendered independent; at least the Spanish and principal part, together with the contiguous French and Dutch colonies. If this be not done before the signature of any treaty with France, the glorious opportunity will perhaps, be forever lost to us. I have had a good opportunity to know that Mr. Pitt, a few years before his death, saw and acknowledged the necessity of striking this blow, and was solicitous to obtain authentic information respecting the best mode of executing it."
"A free intercourse with South America would furnish a copious stream of fresh supplies for prosecuting the war; it would subsist the navy and army sent to assist its emancipation; it would open a new and lucrative market both for exports and imports to our staple manufactures, to cottons, muslins, shalloons, linens, hardware, and to many of our East India productions, which they now receive through Manila, across the Pacific ocean; it would repay us with many millions annually of the precious metals, gold and silver, with indigo, cochineal, Peruvian bark, tallow, hides, hemp, and a multitude of other articles. From the southern part of it, on the Atlantic, our West India islands might have an inexhaustible supply of provisions; it would greatly augment our naval force; it would cut off a principal stream of the resources of Bonaparte, and his vassal Spain, in carrying on the war against us."
"At the threatened rupture with Spain on the Nootka Sound business, and the commencement of the French revolution, I know that general Miranda, a native of the kingdom of Grenada, in South America, gave Mr. Pitt several memorials on this subject, besides much parole information, through his secretary, Mr. S——. Ten thousand land forces were then in readiness to undertake this expedition according to Miranda's plan, when the breach was adjusted. Miranda then despairing of accomplishing through England his favorite schemes, set off for France and presented it to the rulers of the French convention, by whom it was favorably listened to, and in the mean time he was nominated second in command to their principal army under gen. Dumourier. Having narrowly escaped the loss of his head under Robespierre, he returned to London, and for several years persevered in importuning our ministers to lop off this bank of Bonaparte and Spain. He is now alas! departed on a forlorn hope, to make the attempt without adequate means."
"The chart shews that the broad base of South America, bounded on the N. by the Mexican gulph, and on the S. by the great river Amazon, is watered by two other immense rivers, the Oronoko, and the Magdalena. The island of Trinidad lies near the mouth of the former, and to the S. of this lies the province of Guayana, including Surinam and Cayenne. The expedition was to have been conducted to the river Magdalena, and to have descended into the fertile province of Santa Fe, and the heart of Grenada. This province, though not far remote from the equator, is very healthy, and contains every requisite for the supply of
an auxiliary force. By this position, assisted by the natives, the rich gold mines of Grenada, and the treasures of Peru carried usually across the Isthmus of Panama, would be intercepted."
"Miranda, however, was not sufficiently informed of the remote power we possessed to forward the emancipation of South America, by means of land forces transported from India across the Pacific Ocean. I speak from correct information on this subject, when I say, that two, or, at the utmost, three months would have been sufficient for that purpose. The troops could be carried either a north or a south route, and refreshed in their passage at the Sandwich islands, or at Botany Bay. In an octavo military treatise, which has gone thro' six editions, of which I am the author, but have thought proper to conceal my name, I threw out a hint of a joint expedition from Europe & from India, against the south part of South America, that is against Buenos Ayres, & the opposite port of Baldivia, in Chili. The breadth of South America is there contracted to about five hundred miles; & there are two good post roads across it from sea to sea. On both sides the climate is healthy, and abounds with provisions. The Jesuits of Paraguay, and their native pupils, are spread over that vast plain to the right of the river Plata; and the inhabitants of Chili are incessant in hostility against the Spanish yoke."
"Bonaparte has many political and commercial reasons for endeavoring to inveigle our ministers into a premature treaty at the present moment: the restitution of twenty thousand sailors, the perilous situation of his brother Jerome, and his squadron in the West Indies; the consolidation of his European conquests, and the freedom from interruption in his future projects of rapine. He cannot fail to know from his numerous spies, that part of the expedition now ready to sail from England, though not in season, is destined to support Miranda. A truce only for a month would enable him and Spain to detach such a reinforcement to South America as would exclude the British nation from any share of that lucrative commerce, and even from reaping the profits of petty smugglers. By a strong force in Surinam and Cayenne he could bridle both Spain and Portugal, and when it was convenient to throw off the mask, could dispossess both of them of Grenada and the Brazils. The consequences of such a manoeuvre to our East and West India trade are obvious."
The following is the price of provisions at present at Paris. The loaf of 4 pounds, 6 1-2d. Butcher's meat 7d. to 7 1-2d. per lb. Pork 9d. bacon ham 16d. eggs 7d. per dozen, buttermilk 1s. 2d. per pound. The wages of a day labourer are 2s. 6d. and the number of poor 100,000, of whom 3 000 are old men; above seventy are petitioning to be received into the hospital of Bicetre (the Bethlehem hospital of Paris) in consequence of a decree which gives them a title to it.
The harvest has turned out very plentiful in Spain, and considerable quantities of grain are already shipped off there for Portugal.—Aurora.

PARISIAN REVIEW OF POLITICS. BY BARRERE.
The Peace of Presburgh was the result of events too unexpected for the cabinets of Europe to be able to appreciate immediately the influence it would have upon their future conduct. Six months have scarcely elapsed since it was signed, and the ostensible measures of the different courts enable the observer already to judge of the effects of that treaty.
The House of Austria, whose policy never wanders but when it is influenced by that of other cabinets, renounces war, and is employed only in repairing the injuries it has done her. The troubles of Servia, the regeneration of the Ottoman Empire, the weakness of her army, the ruin of her credit, and the desolation of her provinces—such are the objects of her solicitude; far from desiring new contests she blesses peace, which permits her to repair the evils they have caused her.
Prussia aggrandized at the expence of England, has no longer any thing to fear from the insinuations of the cabinet of St. James. George has launched his thunders against William, who fears them less perhaps, than his friendship. Some ships lost, some men made prisoners, and some cessions to France, are the price of a province rich in extent, population, and produce, and whose value is doubled by its local situation. This acquisition, which draws a line of eternal separation between the courts of London and Prussia, unites forever the court of Berlin to the interests of the court of France. A war of negotiation with Sweden, of misunderstanding with Russia, and the new arrangements of Germany occupy Prussia at present—her wise and moderate conduct proves the desire she has to preserve peace.
Russia, too feeble in population to expect success in Europe and Asia at the same time, has adopted the policy which her interest and glory required. At the very moment in which her peace with France ensures the repose of the West, a solemn embassy unites the court of Petersburg with the court of Pekin; ships from Kamschatka explore the seas of Japan, and lay the foundation of a commerce which will civilize the North. Policy does not alone contribute to the prosperity of Russia—her armies have passed the Caucasus; spread over the plains of Persia, and are already under the walls of Ispahan; treaties will unite the Czar to the Shah, and from that moment the trade of India, lost to England, will abandon the vast ocean, and return to the seas and rivers that flow into it. That day will deprive Britain of her riches and her resources for loans—that day will turn against her the treasure she employs to agitate Europe, and the arms upon which she relies for the defence of her territory.
Turkey, weakened by her extent, and by her manners, by the mixture of two nations, and the wavering policy of the Divan, was on the point of disappearing from the map of Europe, when the treaty of Presburgh, by giving her frontiers in common with the kingdom of Italy, has re-generated the empire of Cross: Neither the in-
fluence of Russia, nor that of England being able to turn Sultan Selim from his real interests and from his ancient ally. Ambassadors are arrived to bring the pledge of peace—it is to Turkey the pledge of happiness. This intimate union of France and the Porte changes the direction of the commerce of the Levant and the Mediterranean; so that the fleet from Toulon, Venice, Ragusa, the ports and isles of the Ionian sea, and the coasts of Barbary, will drive the English from a sea where Malta or Gibraltar will only serve them as a refuge.
The king of Sweden, plunged into a war, which folly, not glory, induces him to carry on, attacks his subjects, not his enemies. Prussia has not yet seen her territory threatened, and the inhabitants of Swedish Pomerania have already lost their ancient privileges. The decree which destroys them, develops at length the secret of the war of the north; it proves that the subjects of Gustavus will all be confined to his own territories.
Germany (for the princes who formed formerly part of the ancient Germanic confederacy) waits for the charter which is to replace the golden bull; that minute act prevented the usual trials at the election of a king of the Romans, regulated the ceremonies of the coronation, distributed the rank and functions of the electors, and did not ensure to the petty princes of Germany the peaceful possession of their dominions. The emperor, under whom they held, might summon them to his assistance, arm them for his defence, without being always bound to protect them; the interest of the empire often exhausted the force and the revenues necessary to the safety of each of its members; the custom of deciding every thing at the diet, according to the number of votes attached to the elective fiefs, rendered the liberties of the German empire illusory; in fine, the destruction of a great number of principalities, and the tottering state of all the rest, dealt the last blow to that ancient association.
Denmark accustomed to consider Sweden as her natural enemy, follows a policy diametrically opposite to that of Sweden. The peaceful cabinet of Copenhagen profits by the calamities which Gustavus produces in his own dominions, and derives advantage from the troubles of Europe, without taking any part in them. The prosperity of her commerce appears to be the sole object of her solicitude.
The United States, by a policy foreign to the old world, purchase countries which they might conquer, preserve a sentiment of gratitude for the French nation, and feign to exchange the fresh outrages of England. Yet their territory increases, their population advances, their revenues are more prosperous, and their growing navy dictates laws upon the coast of Barbary. England alone dreads the prosperity of America, and seems to feel that greater glory awaits the Americans upon the river St. Lawrence.
England, isolated from Europe by her interests no less than her geographical position, exhausts the science of her cabinet in making conquests which she will not keep, and in contracting debts which she will never pay. Her vessels navigate peaceably the most distant seas, yet are full of fears in traversing the channel; her commerce enslaves three quarters of the globe and cannot maintain itself in the fourth.
Her policy aims kings to subdue France, and their defeat strengthens France. Yet it is not to any want of skill on the part of the cabinet of St. James, that this bad success is to be attributed. No—but it is to the force of events, which united together, command each other, and lead to results different from those which seem to be expected. The present conduct of the cabinet of London proves that it is convinced of the feebleness of England to contend with France. It proves also, that the true interests of the nation are better appreciated by the new ministers, and that if peace be negotiated slowly, it will still be signed.
The other states of Europe, all united to France by gratitude, interest and blood, compose what in modern policy is called the federative empire, but which might be more appropriately called the empire of the west. Her population exceeds that of the rest of Europe; her arms are already covered with imperial glory; and the name of the founder is placed by the side of those of the heroes of antiquity. The peace of the world seems to be the sole object of this political institution. Time had diminished the number of petty states, and futurity prepared their entire destruction; the moment was approaching in which empires were to have frontiers in common; in which whole people, and not armies, were to decide the fate of battle. A single conception of genius preserves future generations from the evils which fate was preparing for them. Weak princes become strong by the support they receive; people unite, instead of destroying each other; humanity is consoled, and peace re-establishes her empire in climates which she thought never to have dwelt in more.
FROM THE LONDON MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
I have looked over Mr. Parkinson's late "Tour in America" and have found in it some harsh expressions and false conclusions drawn from the premises he has laid down. It is the produce of a mind attached to local habits, and discontented with every thing which does not correspond with a particular mode of life and of farming.
The work seems intended to prove, that nature has been extremely unkind to the United States; that the migratory soil will never reward the toll of the laborer, and that America seems designed only for conquerors. This is his expression, page 409, which perhaps does not merit to be here repeated; but that America holds out a more cheering prospect, is fully proved by the following facts. The United States double their population in 25 years; and I believe that no other nation, not even the Israelites, ever doubled their numbers in so short a period; consequently, as men multiply in proportion to the facility of living, the lands must return abundance in proportion to the labor bestowed upon them; otherwise there could not be that facility of living.
Another proof is, that the six millions of people who inhabit the United States of America import on an average from five to six millions sterling per annum of British
merchandise, for which they pay, otherwise they would not be trusted; and they export to the amount of about thirteen millions sterling a year; no other country of the same age ever had so great a commerce; nor is their any country at this time except England, which in proportion to her population, has so great and productive an industry. Whence then arises the wealth which nourishes such a commerce, if not from the lands?—for America cannot be called a manufacturing country.
From the year 1784 to 1799, a term of fifteen years, the Americans improved fifteen millions of acres of land. The waste lands in England during the last fifty years amount only to 2,800,000 acres. This shews that America is in a rapid state of improvement, and even more so than England.
But if new farms recently cleared of their timber do not produce all which we find on the old and long cultivated estates of England, it is no proof that the country is bad or the people miserable. The American farmer has abundance to eat, to drink, to warm and cloath him; he is owner of the soil on which he lives; no rent to be raised at the expiration of his lease; no landlord to influence him at the election; no tax gatherer at his door; he is confident of security in equal laws, and has a high sense of that noble independence which acknowledges no superiors but genius & merit; and these are real comforts to a man of feeling. If good turnpike roads, and a particular fine breed of cattle or sheep, are rarely to be found in America, it arises from the population being spread over a great extent of country, and that want of division of labour which enables one man to apply to one thing, and thereby render it as perfect as possible. But the fault is not in the land or climate; and such improvements will be made when the country shall be more filled with people.
Let us look back on England two hundred years:—Not a hedge, not a turnpike road, waggon or carriage to travel in; none of the fine breed of sheep and cattle now so much and justly admired; nor irrigation, nor the productive system of succession of crops; at that time turnips, cabbages, and carrots, were great articles of commerce from Brabant to London. In 1697 the whole exports from England were only three millions and a half a year; the imports near the same sum. But time with industry, has made England what she is, to the great honor of the inhabitants; and time, with industry, will give to the United States of America all that is refined in science and gratifying to rational man.
But one great object of Mr. Parkinson's book is, to prevent English farmers rendering themselves and families unhappy by going to America. With him I am clearly of opinion that they should not go till they have well weighed every circumstance and consulted the feelings of those they propose to carry with them; for although I know that abundance reigns in America, yet persons always risk their happiness by removing from their native place, and into a country where the manners and customs are such as they have not been used to. Every pursuit is a kind of trade, which if we cannot follow it in the way to which we have been accustomed, feels irksome. I doubt whether an experienced Devonshire farmer would for some years feel happy in Northumberland; nor would the Northumberland man feel comfortable on a farm in Devonshire. A Frenchman accustomed to the culture of a vine, would make a bad farmer in England; and the English farmer would become a bankrupt among the vines of France. Local habits, which in a great measure constitute our happiness, and which make a country appear pleasant or disagreeable, extend to the smallest minutiae, to our eating, drinking, travelling, company, &c.
During the last peace the Abbe Gregoire came over from France to England, where he made a tour throughout the country, and, from his amiable character and excellent qualities, was received in the best societies in a very hospitable manner. On his return to Paris I asked him how he liked England? He replied, "The English are a generous, hospitable, good people; & the country would be charming had it pleased God to give them some sunshine, & French cooks. The country (he said) was always enveloped in clouds; and he was almost starved on abominable legs of mutton, roast beef, beef stakes, cabbage and potatoes, none of which were half cooked, and with sauce seldom eatable; the porter was bitter, and the port wine so strong that he could not drink it, and as to water he did not like that beverage." In fact, the good Abbe preferred France; and, being of a humane disposition, seemed to feel sorry for the many inconveniences under which, as he supposed, the people of England labored.
Hence, if we look into ourselves, and examine the habits we have acquired, we shall find, that, by going to reside in a foreign country, the circumstances change, and the unhappiness or ill success which we experience arises more from ourselves than the defects of the country which we adopt.
ROBERT FULTON.
FROM THE NEWARK CENTINEL.
Messrs. Editors, About four years since, I providentially obtained of a French Physician of eminence, a recipe to cure the Dropsy. I made it known to some of my acquaintance, who were afflicted with this malady; they made trial of the remedy, and with success; indeed, I have never known it to fail of effecting a cure, when the medicine has been properly made, duly taken, and persevered in. I could furnish many instances of its great and happy effects, but I will mention one example only. A lady, about seventy years old, had the Dropsy to that degree, that she was fearful to stand on her feet, lest her skin should burst. I saw her in that situation; and it was apprehended she would die in a very short time. She, however, had heard that I had a recipe to cure the Dropsy, and was anxious to experience it. She took the medicine, according to the prescription; in less than a week, by evacuation, the swelling of her body entirely abated, and in a few weeks thereafter, she was restored to perfect health. The recipe soon became in great demand. I furnished copies of it to divers persons—and that it might be more generally known, I published it in the Centinel of Freedom.

Since which, I have, to the present period, been repeatedly called on by persons, not only in this state, but also in the state of New-York, for this recipe, and have this moment, finished copying it for a friend at a distance. To save myself the trouble, if possible, of transcribing the recipe, as heretofore, and that still greater publicity may be given to it, I request that you will again insert it in your paper; and should the printers of newspapers, in the United States, republish this recipe, they, probably, would render essential benefit to many of their fellow citizens.
FRIEND OF MAN. Newark, Nov. 3, 1806.
THE RECIPE.
Put into a stone or earthen jar, a gallon of stale, sound cyder, together with a double handful of parsley roots and tops, cut fine; a handful of scraped horseradish; two tablespoonfuls of bruised mustard seed; half an ounce of gills, & one ounce of juniper berries. The liquor to be kept warm by the fire, twenty four hours; to be often agitated, and then strained for use. Dose, for an adult, half a wine glass full, three times a day, on an empty stomach. The dose may be increased, if necessary. After the water shall be discharged, the patient should use moderate exercise; subsist on dry nourishing diet, and abstain from all liquids, as much as possible.

NEW-YORK, November 8.
The officers of the British frigate Cambrian informed the passengers in the Enterprise and Polly of New York (recently taken and sent into Halifax) that they had orders to capture all American vessels from French, Spanish or Dutch ports or colonies. The captain of the Bellona, of 74 guns, the day before had examined the ship Polly, of New York, and let her pass; but being afterwards informed of these new orders by the captain of the Cambrian, he returned to the pursuit, took her and sent her to Halifax; as also the Enterprise, from Bordeaux to New York; the Messenger, from Guadalupe to New York; and the schooner Asia, from Cayenne to Boston.
The Cambrian on the 28th ult. (as noticed in our marine news under the Norfolk head) impressed 5 men from the ship Charles Carter, but liberated them the next day, and put them on board the schr. Eliza-Ann, from Cadiz—a Spanish port. We presume, from the circumstance of this vessel being permitted to proceed, as well as from the improbability of the report itself, that no such orders as those mentioned in the preceding paragraph have been issued by the British government.
DANBURY, (Con.) November 5.
The following statement of votes for Governor and Council for the four last years, will exhibit to the public the most correct view of the state of political parties in Connecticut. A view gratifying to the friends of rational liberty, notwithstanding the exultation of the federalists on the late election.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, Sept. 11.
Another Extraordinary Gazette, supplemental to that which we laid before our readers in our last, was yesterday morning published by government. We are thus put in possession of advices from Sicily of so late a date as the 5th ult. at which time, it will be seen, the brilliant success of our army in Calabria, on the 4th of July, was further improved by the capture of Cotrone, which was the depository of the artillery and stores, destined to be employed by the enemy in the contemplated attack upon Sicily. This additional advantage over the enemy was achieved by a detachment of the British land and sea forces, under the orders of Col. McLeod of the 78th Regiment, and Capt. Hoste of the Navy; and by the event, the provinces of Upper and Lower Calabria have, for a time at least, been rescued from the iron grasp of the Gallic oppressor. Generals Verdier and Regnier have retreated precipitately towards Taranto, and when the last advices left Catrone, it was reported that the latter had been attacked in his flight by the Masses, who had cut off six or seven hundred of his troops. Of the army commanded by this officer, consisting in the first instance of not less than nine thousand men, six thousand have been either killed or taken prisoners; and it is with pride and exultation we agree with Col. McLeod, that the result of this expedition cannot fail to be recorded in the British annals, as an achievement of the first order. The only regret we feel on the occasion is, that, owing to the lamentable neglect of our ministers, in not sending, in due time, the necessary reinforcements, to improve our advantage and render permanent the effects
of so splendid a victory, we cannot reasonably look for those numerous beneficial consequences, which would not otherwise fail to result from this proud and signal triumph of our arms. Gen. Stuart, as we predicted in our last, has judged it prudent to return with his brave army to Sicily. A different proceeding would certainly have rendered his judgment impeachable; for he could not be ignorant of the facilities of reinforcement which the enemy possess in that quarter; and that though he had beaten his opponent with the fearful odds of nearly two to one against him, he could not maintain himself against the immense reinforcements which were so promptly put in motion by the enemy under the orders of General Massena. In removing therefore his gallant army from the scene of peril which began to present itself, he has proved that his prudence is not surpassed even by his distinguished courage or his consummate skill. We are rejoiced to find that our brave little army is safely returned to Sicily; and tho' no permanent advantage, from the considerations which we have already stated, is likely to result to our cause, still must this important consequence be attached to our victory, that an indelible impression of the superior bravery and discipline of the British troops is established by it.—In the words of our envoy, Mr. Elliot, it may justly be said:—"There is not perhaps to be found, in the annals of military transactions, an enterprise prepared with more deliberate reflection, or executed with greater decision, promptitude and success, than the late invasion of Calabria by Sir John Stuart." Nothing could possibly surpass the courage and unanimity, and cordiality of the brave patriot Calabrians, in their co-operation with our troops; or the generosity of their feelings in providing our troops with every possible necessary.
It is therefore with deep regret that we find the apologist of our Ministers, attempt to excuse them for the dreadful fate which to all appearance awaits that brave and loyal people, in consequence of the misconduct of the British Government, by imputing to them an apathy which they never, in a single instance, manifested in the remotest degree; and insinuating, notwithstanding the genuine patriotic zeal displayed by them throughout, that such people ought to have nothing to do with country. As well might the writers to whom we allude say, that in the event of the French army, with which the safety of England was so long menaced, obtaining a temporary footing upon our shores, the people of England ought not to interfere, as having "nothing to do with country." Such language is certainly unbecoming a British Patriot; and what must that cause be which can be supported only upon such ground? Even the French accounts do justice to the determined and unanimous efforts of the gallant Calabrians; and upon the authority of our own General we find, that such was their ardor in support of the British troops, whom they fondly viewed as their deliverers, that they offered their property and lives; that the cockade of the legitimate Government was seen every where; that they brought provisions in procession, refusing to receive payment for them, and declaring that they would not take money from those who came to deliver them from French tyranny; that our General attempted in vain to make them receive payment for the supplies they furnished to the Army. And yet we are asked, "What have such men to do with Country?" Good Heavens! who could have expected such language from a British Whig, boasting of his patriotism towards a brave and loyal people, armed in the cause of her country, and shedding their blood in a glorious resistance to the invaders of their rights? We shall probably return to this subject in a day or two.
The Gazette Extraordinary states, that General Regnier has fallen back to the post at which the French papers state a junction to have been effected between him and Massena; long ere this, it is therefore probable, the enemy have recommenced their work of human carnage among the brave Calabrians.
September 18. We have Paris papers to the 11th, and Dutch to the 15th. All the military movements indicate approaching war. The official news of the capture of Buenos Ayres is received. It capitulated on the 27th of June. There fell into the hands of the English 1,291,338 dollars, in silver and bullion. General Beresford, has issued a proclamation as lieut. governor. And promises to allow a free trade to all nations in amity with England.
The trade of Buenos Ayres is to be put on the same footing, by promise, as that of Trinidad.
It was estimated that the merchandise in the king's stores, principally jesuits bark and quick silver; and what is in the Philipine company's stores; with the little that is retained of floating property, would amount, if it could be disposed of, to between two and three millions of dollars. Of the bullion delivered in some was claimed as private property, and was to be restored—and so of some of the money.
Ninety pieces of ordnance, 550 whole barrels of powder, 2200 muskets with bayonets, 74 without bayonets, 616 carbines, 4079 pistols, 31 musketoons, and 1247 swords—were taken at Buenos Ayres. The English had one man killed, 12 wounded, and one was missing.
In the capitulation, the 1st article provides that the Spanish troops shall be prisoners of war, allows native and domiciliated officers and soldiers to remain—the 2d article, promises respect to all private property, civil, military, or religious—3d, promises protection to the people, and that they shall not be compelled to bear arms against his Catholic majesty—4th, continues the civil officers in commission, and promises respect to existing customs—5th, and provides for the safety of the public appropriations as heretofore—7th, assures respect to the Catholic religion—8th, continues the ecclesiastical court—9th, directs the delivery of coasting vessels to their owners—10th, agrees that all the public property shall be delivered to the English.
In gen. Beresford's letter to the secretary of state, announcing the capture of Buenos Ayres, he mentions that the whole force under his command was 1621, with 2 five and a half inch howitzers, and 2 light three pounders. The Spanish regular force con-
sisted of 2000, and opposed the advance of the British a short time at the village of Reduccion, and at the river Chuelo, at which latter place they had destroyed the bridge. Their fire was always ill directed, and did little or no execution.
General Beresford, in one of his letters, says, that after the passage of the river Chuelo, the city of Buenos remained at his mercy, and that the only conditions on which he entered were such as he pleased to offer. The coasting vessels released were valued at a million and a half of dollars. The British had made an expedition 50 miles into the interior, had found the dispositions of the people favorable to the British, and had recovered considerable treasure which persons were endeavoring to carry to Cordova.
FROM THE NORFOLK PUBLIC LEDGER.
PARIS, September 3.
"Captain Jerome Bonaparte, who commanded the Veteran, arrived in France on the 26th ult. He gives an account that he had left the squadron under the command of vice-admiral Willaumez, in the best condition, having made 80 rich prizes, and being in pursuit of a numerous convoy."
"It is impossible to give a detailed account of the operations of our squadron which is commanded by that admiral, as it would unfold the object of his mission.—It is sufficient to say, that he has already injured the English commerce to the amount of twenty millions of francs."
"The Veteran celebrated the feast of the emperor on the 15th of August, in a manner very honorable to its captain and brave crew. The following is the account of it, taken from the Journal:
August 15.
"At the dawn of day we perceived two English ships of war, escorting a convoy of sixteen sail. A general cry of "Long live the Emperor," resounded through the ship, which in an instant crowded all its sails. Being arrived within cannon shot, we hoisted English colors. The enemy made signals, to which he did not answer, but observing that the ships dispersed, and sought for safety in flight, we hoisted the French flag, accompanied it with a discharge of cannon. The frigates manœuvred, and a part of the convoy followed the example. The Veteran immediately pursued those to windward, which were twelve in number, of which she took nine."
The Alexander, 210 tons. The John & Isabella, 350 tons. The Janus, 350 tons. The Silver Eel, 400 tons. The Success, 55 tons. The William, 70 tons. The Esther, 300 tons. The Hilton, 200 tons. The Lydia, 210 tons.
"The convoy was coming from Quebec, was laden with masts, tar, skins, and other produce of that colony. The prizes are valued at five millions of francs."
"On the 16th, at 4 P. M. the Veteran having collected the English crews, and what was most valuable of the cargoes, set the vessel on fire, and took advantage of several American vessels which she met, to dispose of the English sailors on board them."
"During the nine months that the Veteran has been on her cruise, she has lost but five men. The crew had constantly been in good health. Some scorbutic symptoms made their appearance before the ship arrived at St. Salvador, where the men were perfectly cured."
"Admiral Cochrane, with four ships and two frigates, appeared the distance of three leagues to the windward of the French squadron off Tortola; but that Admiral perceiving that the French squadron manœuvred to bring him to an engagement, put to sea, and, having the wind, soon disappeared."
"The French division which cruized off Greenland, appears also to have had great success."
"That of captain L'Hermite has taken upwards of fifty of the enemy's vessels.—According to the intelligence we have received in an indirect way, many other French cruizers have been equally destructive to the English commerce. Upwards of two hundred English merchantmen have been taken or sunk since the 1st of July."
RINGSTON, (Jam.) Sept. 29.
Late accounts from a neighboring colony state that the insurgents there had recently an engagement with gen. Ferrand, in which they received a very severe repulse, from four to five thousand of their men having been killed and wounded during the contest. Dispatches are likewise said to have arrived there from France, expressing the most ardent wish of the emperor Napoleon to have good order and tranquility re-established, for which purpose it was stated, that every success with troops, &c. should be afforded them, and that one of the branches of the imperial family was to be nominated to the government of the colony. This it was generally supposed and accredited, would be "Notre Frere Jerome," an appointment no doubt more consontant and agreeable to his feelings, and where he runs less risk of either his life or being made a prisoner, than that of his recent "hair breadth escape" while on board a French man of war.
October 4.
His majesty's ship Veteran, of 64 guns captain A. F. Evans, which sailed on the 28th July, as convoy to the homeward bound fleet, to a certain latitude, and afterwards to call at Bermuda, arrived yesterday at Port Royal.
By the Veteran we have obtained a very disastrous account of the loss fleet. It appears that on the 21st August, lat. 29.50, long. 78.31, a tremendous hurricane commenced, and continued with unrelenting violence until the morning of the 22d, at which time 11 sail of the fleet were perceived making signals of distress; every assistance was immediately rendered them, by manning the boats, when they fortunately succeeded in saving the crews of the brig: Coro and Ann, of London, and ship Achilles, of Glasgow, which vessels we lament to say with the ships Pallas, Herculean, Forty Second, Raleigh, African, Erin, James, (of Liverpool) and Coverdale, immediately after went down, and it is feared every soul on board of them perished. On the 23d the
weather moderated, when only 62 sail were collected, and proceeded under protection of the Penguin brig of 16 guns, captain Smith. Twenty four sail were then missing, supposed to have separated during the hurricane. On the 30th, the Veteran fell in with the Franchise frigate, one of the convoy, under jury masts intending to proceed home. The Magicienne frigate, captain Mackenzie, the commodore of the convoy, was forced to put into Bermuda, in a very damaged state, but had sailed again for England previous to the Veteran leaving that place.
The Barbara Cutter was dispatched from Bermuda by capt. Evans, to apprise the lords of the admiralty of the melancholy fate of the fleet.

POSTSCRIPT.
FROM THE NORFOLK PUBLIC LEDGER OF MONDAY LAST.
The arrival of the ship William Penn, Captain Watson, in 42 days from Nantes, has furnished us with Paris papers from the 1st to the 26th September; their contents are not interesting in detail; (but much so in substance) have however, translated nearly every article which deserved attention for this day's paper. Lord Lauderdale had not quitted Paris, though we do not perceive his name in one of the papers; verbal accounts state that his baggage was packed up, and that he was to set out for England in two days.
All accounts appear to confirm us that the war is to be renewed on the continent. Prussia, as was foreseen and foretold, is at length compelled to resist the ambition of Bonaparte; for this purpose she has formed the most intimate connection with Russia, and has settled her dispute with Sweden, by giving up the Duchy of Lauenbourg, which has been taken possession of for his Britannic Majesty; the blockade of the Prussian ports has been raised accordingly; indeed the most cordial intercourse now exists between those powers, who are with Russia at the head of the northern confederacy. The Electors of Hesse and Saxony are also members of this league.—Of the course which Austria will pursue we cannot gather from the French papers, they rather indicate a pacific disposition in Austria; at the same time France is collecting large armies upon the Austrian frontiers. It is not, however, probable, that Austria will remain quiet during a contest, on which the fate of the European world depends.—On the part of France, the utmost activity in military movements, and preparations for war appear to be going on. The camp that had been formed near Paris is broken up, and the troops which composed it, with the imperial guards, had marched, taking the route for Belgium.
Captain Watson says that before he left Nantes, information had been received, which stated that Bonaparte had left Paris to take command of the army. This is not stated in our Paris papers; those speak of such a circumstance as certain to take place, and we observe that at a review of the troops, before they marched, they saluted Bonaparte, not as Emperor, but as their General.
It is not possible to contemplate the issue of this contest with indifference; this is no coalition produced by British gold; no, the powers who have formed it, are to fight in their own defence, and not to serve the cause of Britain. The members of this league, can be no strangers to the force of France, nor to the celerity and effect, with which she wields that force; they must it is to be presumed be prepared with a force adequate to the object which they have embarked in.

The odes of Mr. Moore have been deservedly celebrated for the vivid manner in which they depict living beauty...
ELEGY.
Fare the well! poor luckless maiden; Peace await you on yon shore!
Lightly on the clay cold bosom, Lie the softest greenest sod!
Happy may some child of sorrow, View thy peaceful, lowly bed.
From his beaming eye may trickle, Gentlest drops of pity down.
May some kindred heavenly spirit, Wait above thy parting soul.
It would seem that men of genius in all countries, have a predisposition to be republicans in sentiment...
I feel as much indignation as you possibly can, against those who endeavor to hurt the peace of families by malignant publications...
Examples might be given of men of great integrity being attacked in the most cruel and ungenerous manner by people high in office...
By this means also the most speedy and effectual alarm is given all over the nation when any great public misconduct happens...
The temporary and partial disorders, which are the consequences of public freedom, have been greatly exaggerated by some people...
The greatest evil that can arise from the licentiousness which accompanies civil liberty, is that people may rashly take a dislike to liberty herself...
But to prove the weakness of such conduct, we have only to call to mind, that the stream of licentiousness perhaps never rose higher than it did some years since in England...
Bespattered with dirt by the mob.—What are these frivolous disorders when compared to the gloomy regularity produced by despotism...

FAMILY GUIDE, TO AVOID INFECTIOUS DISEASES. PROPOSAL. FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION A NEW WORK. On the discovery of a Specific for the cure and prevention of The Yellow Malignant Fever, And disorders of the Bilious, Putrid and Malignant kind.
Followed by a Dissertation on the Cholera Infantum, the Cynanche Trachealis, or Croup, and a new Method for the certain cure of it. Adapted to persons of every capacity.
Addressed to the citizens of the United States of America. By DR. JOHN J. GIRAUD.
THE basis of the specific remedy, is simply Soap—universally acknowledged as a great preserver of health.
Soap has been acknowledged in medicine, for many centuries past, to be a powerful mitigator of the bile, and an antidote containing a most sovereign anti-pestilential quality...
CONTENTS. Article 1. Of the Yellow Fever in general. 2. A new method of treatment for the Yellow Fever, adapted to the capacity of every one. 3. The receipt to compose the specific remedy. 4. The use of it as a preventive of the disease. 5. A list of cures effected by the use of it in divers epidemics. 6. The treatment adapted to bilious, putrid and malignant fevers, cholics, and other affections of the same nature, and those which are produced by an obstinate perspiration. 7. The means of preserving health in the critical season of summer. 8. An address to the public, with a view to guard them against the dangerous and common abuse of some means generally adopted, as well to prevent sickness as to cure it. 9. On disorders the most prevalent and fatal among children. A dissertation on the Croup followed by a new method equally secure and easy for curing it. 10. Lastly, will be proved to demonstration, the necessity of assistance promptly administered in the Yellow Fever; without which there follows a total dissolution of our fluids, which nothing can stop. And this will more forcibly convince the advantages of a remedy easy to be found, prepared and taken, which exposes to no danger and containing the sure means of preventing the disorder in the predisposition to it, and of removing it after it has made its appearance. No person of sense, father of a family, or other person can be indifferent to the use of a similar remedy, which assures his well being and that of his children and neighbors. CONDITIONS. I. The work shall be put to press with all possible speed. II. It shall be handsomely printed in one volume octavo, on good paper, and will be delivered to subscribers, neatly bound, at two Dollars fifty cents each copy, payable on delivery. III. At present the number of pages that the work will contain cannot be ascertained, the probability is it will exceed three hundred. Proposals for receiving subscriptions, are left with the principal booksellers in Baltimore. IV. Printers of newspapers who choose to obtain subscribers to the foregoing work are requested to give the proposal a few insertions in their papers. They will be allowed a discount of 20 per cent on as many copies as they may see proper to take. V. Of upwards of 141 persons cured by means of this remedy, in only one epidemic, I have obtained and published the certificates of more than 100, merely with a view to establish and prove the period of my discovery; and in my work I will make mention of a great number cured in like manner in other epidemics. For the details of this, see the American and evening post of June 12, 1806.
