Also, one other tract of Land,
in the same county, which was conveyed to the said Thomas Chapman by deeds of lease and release from Bertrand Ewell and his wife, and Jesse Ewell and his wife, for 56 acres, more or less, bearing date the 9th and 10th days of April, 1775.
Also, one tract or parcel of Land,
which was conveyed to the said Chapman by deeds of lease and release from Jesse Ewell and his wife, and Bertrand Ewell and his wife, for 150 acres, more or less, bearing date the 2d and 3d days of January, 1784, all of which deeds are now of record in the county court of Prince William. And also, all the other estate, right, title, claim and possession which Carr Chapman, on the 30th November, 1797, had of and in to the land and real estate whereof his father or any of his ancestors had died, seized or possessed. The above description is taken from the mortgage deed executed by Carr Chapman to Thompson & Veitch on the 30th November, 1797, and now recorded in Prince William court, under which the property is sold. It is understood that the three tracts of land have been united into one which adjoins the town of Dumfries. On it there is a dwelling house & some wood. The general rights described will, as it is believed, comprehend a fourth part of the reversion of all the dower land of Susanna Gwinnett, and one fourth part of the reversion of all the land devised by Thomas Chapman to Elizabeth Overall, after the death of the said Susanna and the said Elizabeth. Bond and approved security will be required.

November 12.

THE NORTH AMERICAN. THE time has at length arrived when the French revolution was to envelope those countries where despotism triumphed in the name of civilization: the European nations laboring under the yoke of ancient feudalism, received the conquering armies with open arms, or maintained a feeble and wavering opposition, but France herself, unable to obtain entire possession of her civil and political rights could not of course bestow those rights upon others, and the whole continent remains under a military despotism, though a thousand degrees removed from that barbarism into which they had all nearly plunged by the abuse of liberty, is but one from its former bondage, by the superior skill and judgment of a ruler born in indigence, and taught by opposition.
One people only, among the European nations, they who received the first efforts of the revolution with the most complaisant eye, because they enjoyed a government already popular, and they alone, who, sensible of the advantage of this government, and the o'ersteps of their neighbors, are willing to make a sacrifice of their blood and treasure, withstand the torrent.
We, the remote and peaceful inhabitants of this newly discovered continent, are the only civilized people who have yet had no share in the contest.
The new made monarch however, mistaking success for justice, has long lost sight of that cause which was just, and laid the foundation of his success in the people, and provoked at that security which the sea affords, he only remaining check to his arms, attempts to govern even the element by his decree.
The power which unites all the navies of the world, and might listen with indifference to such mandates, forgetting too, the rights of others, lancing her retarding ordinance, and such has the perfidiousness to declare, America shall have no trade or intercourse with the other.
Unprepared as we are, either of these powers are fully competent to enforce their unjust laws upon us, and we have voluntarily blockaded ourselves in our own ports, as if disposed tacitly to submit to all without an appearance of force.
The novelty of those decrees and ordinances, more than the boldness of them, seem to have plunged us into a perfect stupor, a state of torpidity; the boldest statesman of the present day, contents himself with asking his neighbour when and how it will end? whilst the greater number beg his patience, until one or the other of the contending parties is vanquished, and then, why then according to these politicians, America may have peace at the hands of the conqueror.
Are we really to prepare ourselves for such an event, is this the meaning and import of our resignation.
Good people cannot be serious in bestowing praises on those who have invented a retiring policy to the American nation, which ever heretofore advanced. The same claim of gratitude might be made by that man who dug a pit at his neighbors door or suffered others to do it and then very officiously locked him in to prevent accidents.
It is not possible that our politicians speak the language of the American people. It is not possible that a civilized nation, which has tasted the sweets of independence, can long submit to be deprived of the advantages of trade and intercourse with the rest of the world, by the forces, much less by the frowns of any one quarter of the globe.
If France and England were united in sentiment as completely as they are in actions, or made their present warfare against us jointly, I am a stranger to the character and abilities of my country and countrymen if they would not defend themselves effectually against the hostile armies, and make way thro' the blocking fleets, or magnanimously die in the attempt.
Every blessing must be earned according to the decrees of Heaven, and in this we must lay down life to find it according to the language of the sacred text, and when driven to the brink of the pit, it is more noble to jump into it, than to be forced there by the enemy, says the immortal Shakespeare.
It is time, therefore, to shake off the habits of ease and luxury, and remembering what our fathers did for us, show by imitating them, that we possess nothing but what we deserve.
That rank among the nations which was obtained for us by the blood of so many patriots, is not to be prostrated at the feet of a foreign dictator, without a struggle, without another example worthy the imitation of our children.
What terms, what trade, what peace, should we obtain from either of the belligerents by supplication, if either of them had yielded? Nothing could compensate such gigantic exertions, such sacrifices of men and money as they shall have made, less than all; our cattle, our corn must go, to feed the hungry mercenary; our houses and homes must be stripped to satiate the needy satellite of despotism; to crown all, ages of slavery would extinguish the remembrance of all the honor bought for and bequeathed us.
The longer we put off the trial of our
strength, the more enemies we shall have to contend with—another year, and one of the contending powers may have triumphed, the continent and the islands of Europe may know but one master, the seas and lands devoted to his ambition only.
A country there was which enjoyed a free government, and situated between the great powers of the European continent, sunk because of its blindness and lethargy—not that they yielded rights so dear, as cowards; the most noble blood of Switzerland was shed on the remains of their freedom and independence, but instead of making a stand when first insulted, they forbore resentment until their enemy had dispatched or reduced their neighbors, and had little on hand but their subjugation.
Let the fate of this meritorious people, the only one which, in its industry and integrity, deserves to be imitated amongst the moderns, be ever present to our minds. They were free, and they were innocent, but the spoiler came, and their plains were ravaged, their dwellings ransacked, and they lost even the semblance of self government.
From the national spirit and enterprise, of the settlers of this continent and from the remote situation in which it is placed from the seat of ambition and intrigue, tyranny was opposed and held in awe at the earliest period of our history. When there were but a handful of Americans here, they still maintained the freest institutions, and forced the government which protected them to allow the mildest laws on earth, and when scarcely arrived at maturity the states nobly shook off every badge of dependence, never I trust to list them more.
North America may now display herself in a manner becoming her former fame and the government the freemen of this continent have of choice adopted. The republic which has long been the asylum of the persecuted European, may turn towards her European oppressors, and say thus far have ye gone, go no farther at your peril.
The part the republic has to perform is not, however, that of a bully or gladiator, and we have studied too well the basis on which our own rights and the rights of humanity are founded; it is in the first instance our duty to offer our mediation between the parties, and if possible procure a general peace in which the rights of each, and our rights, are established.
Though we have no crowns nor mitres, though we have no armies on the borders of the belligerent countries, nor fleets at sea, we are able to judge between them, a people whose government is founded on the respect due to the rights of individuals, will not betray the confidence of nations, and we have an interest not only that those nations should remain independent of each other, but that their several rights should be mutually maintained and respected.
If they will neither accept our calumet, if they are deaf to the voice of humanity, and will not bury their bloody animosities at our invitation—let us call on them, to be just to us, and repeal those decrees which perplex & harass us, or accept the tomahawk.
All the inconveniencies, and distresses we have suffered during the present war, if unended, would not balance the decree of Bonaparte issued from Berlin the 21st of November, 1806, by which his enemies' ports are blockaded, not by force, but by command—prior to that date, we had boldly resisted the attempt to blockade a single port on either side, except by force, and every offence or insult, yet unpunished, can only be traced to that time.
If France will not rescind this decree, for our amity, let it be told that his obstinacy will be the price of our resistance; unmindful of his eminence as well as of his boasted legions, we will shut out Bonaparte himself, and trade where and with whom we please.
But if he will, like another Alexander after the conquest of Thebes, treat us as the Athenians were treated by the Macedonians, if he will yield to our fair demands we will maintain our trade with France at the risk of our lives—we will turn to England, and if she will not follow his example and rescind her ordinances, we will renounce all kind of intercourse with her, and send our privateers on her own coasts.
Should any American be faint hearted enough, to doubt of this policy, let him remember the part we have taken in former wars.
In that of 1756 when young and containing less than three millions of people, and little or no spare capital, we were united with England against France, the latter was obliged to sue for peace, so in the war of 1776 when not half as populous and wealthy as now. America turned the scale in favor of France, and England was obliged to sue in her turn.
But I repeat it, and it ought to be enough for Americans to know, that if we should become the common enemy of both powers, and England and France were to make a common cause against us, by their joint refusal to do us justice, we never should regret the event; if we set out like men in whom an approving conscience is better than life itself, and consider all the world enemies in war, in peace friends.
My advice, therefore, is to dispatch immediately three of our most respectable fellow citizens, of known patriotism and talents, to
France, with full powers to mediate or negotiate, under principles just laid down, with an injunction that on no pretence and present they remain a month amongst our enemies, but return, if alive, by the frigate which leaves them, successful or unsuccessful.
THE SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON. From the New-York Evening Post.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES. There are certain subjects, which ought to be the topics of universal and unceasing consideration, jealousy and reprobation, most especially in such a government as this. Every man of property, of reflection, and of course every real patriot of all parties, must view them with horror and the most lively apprehension—As it respects this subject, we are all alike interested—We are all on the same bottom. I allude to— Foreign influence—Foreign bribery and corruption—National or governmental partiality for one foreign state against another—Inordinate party spirit—Specious, but fraudulent innovations upon the constitution—And certain internal and political combinations or associations.
As upon these several heads, it is impossible for me to express my sentiments, in so nervous, elegant and sententious language as the great and good Washington, I shall avail myself of his opinions on them, by a few and concise extracts as their importance will admit, from his inestimable farwell address to the people of the United States.
Every doctrinal section in this little political treatise, (if observed) is worth millions of pounds to the United States. It should be in every spelling book—taught in every school, and other seminaries of learning—inframed in every house—hung up in every public hall, read by every class of citizens, at regular and stated periods—printed in every newspaper by parts, year in and year out—it should be entabled upon the breasts of all our statesmen, as an indispensable badge of office. Then indeed, Mr. Smilie and Mammy Sloan, and some others of our noblesse, however destitute within , would at least have virtue, good sense, and real patriotism on the outside of their breasts.
Upon the subject of foreign influence , President Washington writes thus:
"As avenues to foreign influence, in innumerable ways, such attachments (meaning partial attachments to a foreign nation) are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils. Such an attachment of a small or weak state, toward a great and powerful nation, dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter."
How admirably every sentence hits our administration, and some of its blind adherents, in the teeth!!
"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience, prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican governments, &c. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike for another, cause those whom they actuate, to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil, and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots , who may resist the intrigues of the favorites , are liable to become suspected, and invidious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests, &c. &c. Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground?"
"If I may flatter myself that these counsels may be productive of some partial benefit, or some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit; to warn against the mischief of foreign intrigue; to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; their hope will be a full recompence for the solicitude, for the welfare, by which they have been dictated."
It appears from other remarks, our deceased friend apprehended his monitions would be disregarded; and his fears on all these subjects, be fatally realized.
How distressing must it be to the real patriots of all parties (for I have the charity to believe there are such of all parties) to find that, not only one but EVERY ONE, of the evils against which he warned us, have become realized in the short period of but eight years!!! For he died on the 14th of Dec. '99.
French intrigue and influence has taken hold of some of the principals in the administration of the union—foreign bribery and corruption has embraced numbers of our people high in our people high in office, and there is almost self-evident reason to believe there are many more who have participated in these foul deeds, as yet undiscovered.
In a very numerous class of uninformed & deceived citizens, there prevailed high toned partiality for the French; and what is worse, the same indignant and destructive affection predominates in some, if not all the higher orders of our placemen. This, as general Washington states, has been with others, one cause of French predominacy in our councils; and of the insufferable hauteur and
contemptuous influence of Bonaparte, and of his last most unprincipled and audacious decree.
Innovations upon our excellent civil code, have been essayed and succeeded. The stability of states was repealed in order to give an opportunity to them to cheat their creditors. I have a pride in reflecting, that with one other of the legislature, I gave my negative to this unjust repeal. On this subject Mr. Jay had written an unanswerable treatise. The attempt that is now again made upon the judiciary of the United States, is the most insidious, wicked and deadly thrust, that could be made at the vitals of our charter, and the security and independence of individual citizens, both for life and property. When a spirit shall create, and rule the judges of a land, then will be an end of the liberty of speech, and of the press. Then we soon shall behold the establishment of jacobin courts—Robespierres and Dantons, &c. will preside on the seat of justice—death and proscription become familiar in the land—accusation (as in France) will be but another name for condemnation, and the point of a finger the signal for destruction. Alas! for the Long-Island Farmer. Thus then I have so far proceeded, in parts, to shew that Washington's advice, have been disregarded, and his forebodings of these evils, already compleatly accomplished, or fast accomplishing.
Ruler of the universe! "Is there none whom chosen curse, Some hidden thunder in the stores of Heaven, Red with uncommon wrath, to blast the men, Who'd owe their greatness to their country's ruin?"
Having gone to the usual length of a newspaper essay, I shall leave for future discussion the other subjects stated in our introduction; for let my right hand forget its cunning, and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I ever forget, or forsake, the pernicious enemies of the people, of the constitution, and of the country.
Yours, &c. A LONG-ISLAND FARMER. From the Providence Gazette.
NATURAL HISTORY. —On the 13th of March last, the inhabitants of Peremeschajew, in the canton of Weresja, in Russia, were alarmed by an uncommon loud clap of thunder; and some men in the fields observed a large black stone fell at the distance of 40 paces from them, which penetrated a considerable depth beneath the snow. It was dug up and found to be of an oblong square figure, of black color resembling cast iron, very smooth throughout, resembling a coffin on one side and weighing about 100 pounds—This stone has been forwarded by count Koutchobet to the academy of sciences at St. Petersburg.
There are two methods of solving these phenomena. The first is on the supposition, that some sudden volcanic eruption discharged these stones in the neighborhood of the places where they were found—as formerly happened at Panacura, and at Gonapi. Then the stones were discharged from fissures in the earth, where volcanoes were not known to exist. 2dly, stones have frequently been formed in the atmosphere, which on a chemical analysis have proved to be compounded of sulphur, nitre, and such mud as is always found to settle at the bottom of rain water. On this principle there is no difficulty in accounting for the formation of evil stones —for it is a known fact, that the atmosphere always contains sulphur and nitre—and from the circumstance that a muddy substance is always found to settle at the bottom of rain water, there is reason to conclude that the exhalations from the earth carry up inconceivable small particles of terreine matter. These ingredients require nothing but fire to convert them very suddenly into a hard stone, similar to these found in Connecticut, as any one may perceive by experiment. Therefore we conclude, that as there was fire present when those stones were discovered, they were generated by that fire from the materials in the atmosphere, and discharged in different directions, by explosions occasioned by the powerful agency of the electric fluid.
The persons composing the Russian embassy to China, have discovered a dead Mammoth in the deserts of Siberia, which did not appear to have died long before they found it, as the skin was entire, and the hair remained on it. From this circumstance it is concluded that the Mammoth still exists somewhere between Siberia and the mouth of the Tongouse Tartars.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
INHABITANTS OF ALEXANDRIA;
CITIZENS, The effects of the Embargo are known, and will be felt by nearly all of you—though the legislative interposition of Congress is the only authority competent to grant relief in this district.
I presume it is now known to you, that the Legislature of Maryland, at their late session, passed a law suspending all executions during the existence of the embargo: the legislature of Virginia also, at their last session, with a view of extending relief to her citizens, passed a law giving a right to replevin for twelve months property taken in execution—whereby many of the citizens of those states are preserved in great measure from till then, an impending ruin. This district being surrounded by those two states, and its inhabitants in the habit of a constant intercourse with them, as individuals and commercial men, it becomes all important that there should be a uniformity in the operation of the laws for the recovery of debts;—further it is believed that the pecuniary embarrassments of no part of the Union, are greater than this district, and therefore has a claim at this trying crisis, on the Congress of the United States, at least, for the same relief to be extended to them, as to the citizens of the adjacent States.
Our vendues begin already to afford melancholy examples of the remissness of congress in not affording the same relief, as many of the states have done.
I have merely dropped these few hints, with a view of suggesting to my fellow citizens of this district, the propriety of holding meetings and petitioning congress on the subject, in case that honorable body should not take it into early consideration.
MERCATOR.
Alexandria, March 10, 1808.
An example of the influence of the democratic spirit to be found in the following paragraph, which I have seen only yesterday.
"The number of American seamen now detained in the British navy is between three and four thousand; whilst the number of seamen employed in our own navy altogether is but 1425."
(N. Y. pap.)
If so many as between three and four thousand of our seamen are detained in the British navy, why have we hesitated so long to avenge their wrongs? Why has so little been done to place the country in a defensive posture? Why are not we officially told that the case is so? "Why in short are only 1425 seamen employed in our own navy," under such alarming circumstances.
I am not accustomed to view the repetition of agreements without indignation: but the statement is so enormously false, that if anything could change the object of the feeling, it would be withdrawn in order to be placed upon the authors of the misstatement.

Affairs with England.—In our paper of Tuesday last, we gave, as the author then asserted, the last number on this interesting subject, from A. B. the correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle. We find, however, on turning over the files of that paper, the following supplementary observations from the same pen.
(Comm. Advertiser.)
To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.
In sending these few lines to you, it is not my intention to renew my correspondence; but it appears proper that I should ask of you to take notice, that when I wrote the last letter, and, indeed, when it appeared in our paper, I had not seen the speech of the President to the congress of the United States, though it had been published in London.—
Having read it, there are parts of it to which I should have adverted, but with great reserve and at all in the style of several animadversions on it which are in circulation, the justness of which it is not my intention to consider. The simple forms of a republican government would not have made me forget, that the paper signed "Thomas Jefferson" was the public speech of a sovereign, and of a sovereign still in amity with Great Britain; of a sovereign, besides, addressing the representatives of his people, who thought their independence questioned, and who were in impatient expectation of receiving the answer of Great Britain on the subject.
It is not only injurious to the country, but even unfair to Ministers who are engaged in an important and critical negotiation, to run before their ambassador and their dispatches,
with the language of intemperance and reproach. It would, no doubt, be very desirable, that the councils of other States should view all the transactions of England with English eyes and English feelings; but that is not to be expected at any time, least of all in the present moment, when here remains but one nation to complete the confederacy of the world.
I do not mean that the English Press should be silent, or should hold back the language of truth; but there is a measure to be observed on such occasions, and which, in many instances, has been overstepped.
I think it should be left to the administration of our own government, in the dignified language of state representations, to question the acts of another government, where they appear to be unfriendly, or unjust, instead of harsh and violent invectives, written without due information, and written in a style which, in a manner, identifies the authors with the administration which they profess to serve and to support.
It may be asked, how anonymous publications can affect the temper of a foreign government or people? The best answer is, to recollect how we ourselves are affected by the Trades in the Moniteur :—We think ourselves at liberty, and, in my opinion, rightly, to impute them to the French government; and the inhabitants of other countries, who know the present state of the British press, will draw the same conclusion.
All I mean by these observations is, to recommend some forbearance in the manner of some of these compositions, and to explain why I, myself, forbear from adding any thing to what is contained in my former correspondence.
I have not sufficient materials before me for any public criticism upon the important state paper of America. If peace is happily preserved, and harmony restored, it will be pleasant to those who have no intemperate language to regret or to retract; and if the peace is unjustly broken, it will then be patriotism to expose that injustice, to support the councils, and to assist the arms of our country.
A. B.
The Editor feels it to be his duty to declare, that the fifth letter of A. B. was in his hands, and indeed has been announced some days before the arrival in England of Mr. President Jefferson's Speech.
At the same time he begs leave to say that in consequence of the numerous and repeated inquiries at his office for the numbers of the Morning Chronicle containing the letters of A. B. he has thought it would be an acceptable service to the public, both of the United Kingdom and United States, to collect them in the form of a pamphlet, which will be ready for publication, by Mr. Ridgway, in a few days.
The following extract from a Liverpool Price Current will serve to show the immense amount of American produce exported from this country to one single port only in the island of G. Britain and principally in American bottoms.
Extract from a Liverpool Price Current , of Jan. 3, 1808.
We annex as usual at the close of the year, a general statement of the imports and stock of the articles we treat of in our weekly circulars.
Imported into Liverpool from 1st of Jan. to 31st Dec. 1807 inclusive, 197,346 bales of cotton, of which 148,756 were from the U. S. of America; viz.—
 From Charleston, 44,729  Savannah, 36,583  N. Orleans, 27,603  other ports in America 84,836  Pot and Pearl ashes, 14,958 bbls.  Tobacco, 5,758 hhds.  Rice, 8,614 casks  Tar, 25,650 bbls.  Turpentine, 19,424 do.  American Wheat, 675,000 bush.  Do Flour, 134,765 bbls. 
The importation of cotton exceeds last year by 24,798 bales. It will be remembered that of American cotton there is an excess of 43,460 bales while of Brazils there is a deficiency of 23,657. The ratio of our supplies from America, until the last three months, showed a much greater excess over last years importation, but owing to the political differences between the two countries, they have fallen off within that period, so that the supplies prove much less than there appeared reason to expect.
From the above the farmers may form some idea of what proportion of the produce they used to raise, found its way to foreign markets; but which is now locked up by the Embargo, and the key carefully concealed.—It will also explain to them why their wheat that would sell six months ago for two dollars a bushel, is now only worth about fifty cents and no sales at that, nor no prospect of being better at present. Glorious times, Times I think that will "try mens souls" and their purses too.
N. Y. Ev. Post.
The Prince of Peace the favorite of the Queen of Spain, is the richest subject, in Europe, being worth upwards of one hundred millions of dollars.
London hapt:
From Washington Feb. 29.
It is curious enough to observe the speculations going on at New York and other distant places, on the supposition that the embargo is to be soon repealed. Unfortunately every day seems to strengthen the probability of its long continuance. The supporters of administration strenuously adhere to the measure in the house, and appear determined out of the house to cling to it with the grip of death. The debate to day on the supplementary embargo law, possessed considerable interest. Mr. Livermore delivered a speech in support of the commerce of this country, replete with sound sense and manly argument. In the course of his observations he showed the indissoluble connexion between commerce and agriculture, insisted that even a Virginia planter without the conveniencies afforded by commerce, would be little better than a Kamakadale or an Osage Indian.
Almost every day furnishes additional proof of the hostility of the slave states, towards the navigating interest of the north. This is exemplified by the burdensome and needless restrictions imposed on fishermen; by stopping all trade between the people of our northern frontier and that of Canada; and above all by the embargo, which strikes at the root of all our commerce, and seems calculated eventually to accomplish the object so long cherished by Virginia patriots, the complete annihilation of American shipping. This would, in a considerable degree tend to assimilate the people of the north to the condition of the lower classes of white people in the slave states, a condition little better than that of the peasants of Poland and Germany, though it has been impiously styled the proper state of God's chosen people.
PORTUGUESE ROYAL FAMILY.
The royal family lately emigrating to the Brazils, is composed of eleven persons, viz;
The queen mother, aged 74—she is insane. The prince regent (of Brazils) aged 40—his princess, Charlotte Joachim, infanta of Spain, aged 33—six of their children, the oldest 15, the youngest 3 years old—and two sisters to the old queen, one aged 61, the other 71 years.
Dr. Gall, who went from England to Paris, was presented to the society of Medicine, where his opinions have undergone a very severe examination. The Classes of the Sciences in the institute have named a Commission of eight Members to examine his system of Cranalogy . It is added that the skull of an assassin who was condemned to suffer death, being presented to him, though entirely ignorant of the circumstance the Doctor declared that the skull bore the character of a murderer.

THE HUMAN HEART.
The heart, in one hour, beats 3600 time, discharges 7200 ounces of blood; and conveys through it the whole mass of blood in the body not less than 25 times. In the space of four and twenty hours, the whole blood in the body circulates 600 times through the heart.
In the Athenaeum of 1807, a literary and miscellaneous Magazine, published monthly in London, is observed the following paragraph:
"THONWALDEN, a Swedish sculptor, is engaged at Rome upon a Colossal Statue of Liberty, for the United States of America to be erected at Washington."
REWBEL, one of the ex-directors of the late French government, died at Colmar, on the Upper Rhine, on the 23d Nov. last.
Married, in Richford, (Vermont) Mr. Samuel Rogers, aged seventy eight, to Miss Elfrida Jones, aged fifteen. She has become a grandmother to a girl two days younger than herself.
BENEVOLENCE.
Happy is that man who is free from envy, who rejoices in his neighbor's prosperity; being content with his own condition and delighted at the good fortune of those around him. His eyes moisten at the tale of sorrow, his sympathetic breast beats in unison with the sufferer, and from his little store bestows a generous mite to the children of poverty. Enjoyment attend him through the various walks of life, and the ills of misfortune rest lightly on his head. The morsel which he eats is sweet and nourishing; the water which he drinks
is cool and refreshing; and the straw which supports his weary limbs, soothes him in soft forgetfulness. When he visits his neighbor in trouble, such benignity appears in his countenance that the eye of sorrow wears a smile, and the distressed breast ceases to heave a sigh. Like a minister of peace he is received among them, and his words prove the oil of consolation. How large and how extensive will be his felicity! Surely he, above the rest of his fellow mortals, partakes of heaven here below—of bliss, which none but the virtuous ever claim.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years has been acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it so much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Bond-street, Philadelphia
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment, which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moulder and others, lately published, the following are submitted to the public, being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges, which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802. It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO, 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 efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Clets, 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 other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually develop all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although these great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout Europe, 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 Ridge, 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 Calton. 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; on 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 23d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-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 I 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 operate 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. TH. CAMPBELL. Baltimore, July 28, 1806.
CAUTION. WHEREAS Joseph Deane and Zachariah Gardner, have set up a claim by a deed of trust or other conveyance made to them by Daniel M'Carty, for a part of the MOUNT AIR tract of Land in our possession—This is to caution all persons from purchasing, as the said Daniel M'Carty could have no title in any part of the Land until a general division of the estate of the late Daniel M'Carty takes place.
