HANDSOME TEETH,
The greatest personal ornament of the human physiognomy.
R. C. SKINNER, Surgeon Dentist of New York, respectfully informs the citizens of Alexandria, that having concerns that require his countenance near the seat of government 7 or 8 days, proposes to attend to his professional business in this city until the 18th inst. Those ladies and gentlemen who have unfortunately lost their Front Teeth, have therefore a favorable opportunity of having them replaced in a very superior style, warranted to retain a perfect natural colour, not distinguishable by strict examination from those of the natural growth, and in most cases without the least pain. Those persons likewise whose teeth are partially decayed, or are encrusted with that contaminating, destructive substance the Tartar, may have the decay arrested and the Tartar judiciously removed, and the teeth thereby preserved during life. Therefore, if a regular apprenticeship and long study in the city of London, improved by 20 years extensive practice in New York, and aided by the recommendations of the most exalted characters in that state can entitle him to confidence, he will be sure to receive, and endeavor justly to merit the patronage he may be honoured with. Dr. Skinner, may be consulted any hour at Mr. Milbourne's sign of the Golden Ball, Union-street. Ladies will be attended at their own houses if desired. March 9. dtf.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths." Gentleman's Magazine, Nov. 1803.

SUPPRESSED DOCUMENTS. [CONTINUED.]
The following letter from gen. Armstrong proves his sense of the folly and inutility, the incompetency and fruitlessness of our embargo. He recommends vigorous measures against France. The reasons he assigns, his conviction, that we can do much against France, and the belief entertained by France, that we dare not do any thing against her, while they prove, that France knew our rulers, and had pledges from them, of which he was ignorant, prove also a private good understanding with France, through some other channel than that of our accredited minister.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Armstrong to Mr. Madison.
30th AUG. 1808.
"We have somewhat overrated our means of coercion, of the two great belligerents to a course of justice. The embargo is a measure calculated above any other, to keep us whole, and keep us in peace, but beyond this you must not count upon it. Here it is not felt, and in England (in the midst of the more recent and interesting events of the day) it is forgotten. I hope that unless France shall do us justice, we shall raise the embargo, and make in its stead the experiment of an armed commerce. Should she adhere to her wicked and foolish measures, we ought not to content ourselves with doing this. There is much, very much besides that we can do, and we ought not to omit doing all we can, because it is believed here, that we cannot do much, and even that we will not do what we have the power of doing."
The letter from Mr. Pinkney which we now present to our readers, fully establishes a truth which we have all of us well known, that Great Britain is earnestly desirous of a good understanding with us. That for the attainment of this object, she will sacrifice every thing but her honor and her essential rights.
That as to the business of TRIBUTE, which our government and members of congress have shamefully made a subject of complaint, it arose solely from our own ministers. He declares that revenue was no object with the British ministry, that they offered to place the affair on the footing of the French decrees, that is, an absolute prohibition: and that the course of imposing a duty was adopted as being more agreeable to us; that they have offered to take it off, if more agreeable to our government, and that our government and minister preferred to keep it on as a source of popular complaint.
Mr. Pinkney declares, that the motives of the British government would be acceptable to the President.
Letter from Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Madison. FEB. 2, 1808.
SIR, "I had an interview this morning with Mr. Canning, at his own request. One object of the interview related to the message of the President, of the 27th of Oct. last, of which a newspaper copy had been received from Mr. Erskine. A call for a copy of this message was expected in parliament, and Mr. C. wished to be in a situation to produce it. I could not assist him, and I suppose the newspaper copy will be considered sufficient."
"As soon as this subject was disposed of Mr. C. observed, that he had requested to see me principally for the purpose of conversing with me privately and extra officially upon the duty proposed to be laid in consequence of their late blocking orders, upon cotton intended for re-exportation to enemy ports upon the continent. The very few occasional remarks which I had made upon this subject at our last interview, (already mentioned in my letter of the 27th) had led him to suppose that it was only to this mode of excluding our cotton from France, that the United States would be likely to object. And if their object could be accomplished in another way, the measure would cease to be offensive. Having
admitted (what indeed was sufficiently obvious before) that they looked to the intended duty upon cotton, as a complete prohibition—he said that if it would be more acceptable to the U. States that the form of the proceeding should be changed, so as to leave the exclusion of cotton from the continent to the mere effect of the blockade, their desire to consult the feelings and wishes, in whatever did not entirely counteract the great end of the measure, would dispose them to adopt such a modification of their plan. In the course of his explanations upon this point he introduced professions of good will towards our country, of regret that France had imposed upon them the necessity of resorting to a step which might be supposed to press with severity upon our interests, and of an anxious desire that a return to a system of equity and moderation on the part of her enemies, would speedily enable Great Britain to abandon (as she would in that case certainly do) the whole of the recent orders in council. He stated that it was peculiarly important towards the first effect of the orders (of which it was the object to compel France to relieve the commerce of the world from the oppression of her late decrees) that considerable supplies of cotton should not be introduced into the continent—that it had been hoped and believed that the United States would not receive harsh or unfriendly, a constrained attempt by G. Britain to prevent such supplies from being received by the other parties to the war, especially as it was certain that Great Britain could herself consume the whole of the cotton which we were in the habit of sending abroad, and that they had preferred the imposition of a duty upon cotton to a direct prohibition through the operation of the blockade, because it was consistent with those various and extensive modifications of the blockade to which they had been led, not merely by views of advantage to themselves, but by respect for the convenience and feelings of other nations, and particularly of America. In fine, he wished to know my private opinion, before the subject came before the parliament, whether an alteration in this respect from a prohibitory duty to an absolute interdiction, would be likely to be acceptable to us. I replied in as conciliatory a manner as I could, that as soon as I had understood that a duty was to be proposed on re-exported cotton, I had been disposed to take for granted that the object was not revenue but prohibition."
"That whether the object were the one or the other, it was, as he knew, my opinion that the U. S. would hold that object as well as the means and the whole system connected with them, to be utterly inadmissible, and that I did not feel myself authorised to say, to which of the causes he had suggested, my government would give the preference, or that it would feel any preference for either. Mr. C. at length asked me, if I should think it worth while to consult my government on this subject, observing at the same time, that he would not wish it to be done if there was the least danger of giving offence, and assuring me that what he said, proceeded from motives the most amicable and respectful towards us. He added, that upon reflection this would be the most convenient mode, as it would now give them a good deal of trouble to accommodate their plan, as prepared for parliament, to a change of so much importance in season to be acted upon."
"I answered in substance (as I saw it was his wish) that I could mention what had passed to you. And that I did not doubt, that the motives of his proposal, whatever might be thought of the proposal itself, would be acceptable to the president. He requested me to say to you, that altho' the necessary bills would be proposed, and would pass in Parliament, according to their first project of a duty, yet that the alteration above suggested, would be adopted whenever it should be known that it would be agreeable to us."
"I must not trouble you with any reflections upon this conversation, but it is my duty to say, that although Mr. C's manner was extremely conciliatory, not a word escaped him to encourage a hope, that the orders in council would in any degree abandoned, or that I should gain any thing by urging a re-consideration of them. I threw out some insinuations with that tendency, but soon perceived that it could not be useful to follow them up."
I have the honor to be, &c "
The following letter from Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Madison is exceedingly favorable as to the views of the British cabinet and their wishes to preserve a good understanding with the United States.
Mr. Canning received our embargo it seems, with great apparent satisfaction, and expressed the most friendly disposition towards the United States, and in the ex-
planations which our minister asked of him in that interview, as to the doubtful parts of their orders, Mr. Canning replied, "that it was their sincere wish to shew in every thing connected with the orders in council, which necessity only compelled them to adopt, their anxiety to accommodate them to the feelings and interest of the American government."
Compare this with the contemptuous silence of Bonaparte and Mr. Armstrong's declaration, that further solicitations would be injurious.
A letter from Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Madison. LONDON, January 28, 1808.
SIR, "I had the honor to receive this morning your letter of the 23d of last month, inclosing a copy of a message from the President to Congress, and their act in pursuance of it, laying an embargo on all our vessels and exports. It appeared to be my duty to lose no time in giving such explanations to the British government, of this wise and salutary measure, as your letter suggests. And accordingly I went to Downing-street immediately, and had a short conference with Mr. Canning, who received my explanations with great apparent satisfaction, & took occasion to express the most friendly disposition towards our country. I availed myself of this opportunity, to mention a subject of some importance, connected with the late orders in council."
"I had been told, that American vessels coming into British ports under warning, could not obtain any document to enable them to return to the U. S. in the event of its being found imprudent, either to deposit their cargoes, or to resume their original voyages, although they are not prohibited from returning, yet as the warning is indorsed on their papers, the return may be hazardous, without some British documents to prove compliance with it, and give security to the voyage. Mr. C. took a note of what I said, and assured me that whatever was necessary to give the facility in question would be done without delay; and he added, that it was their sincere wish to shew, in every thing connected with the orders in council, which only necessity had compelled them to adopt, their anxiety to accommodate them, as far as was consistent with their object, to the feelings and interest of the American government and people. I was induced by these observations to mention and to make several strong remarks upon the duty intended to be imposed on our cotton when re-exported to the continent, and the adherence to the determination not to allow our vessels warned into British ports, any change of destination. He told me that these subjects (with which however, it was evident he was very little acquainted) should be taken into immediate consideration, and that he would let me know the result. I am to have another interview with him in a few days."
From the Washington Federalist.
To the hon. James Madison.
SIR, You are now the president of the U. States.
To enquire how you became such, or what superior claim you had to your competitors, would at this time be an undertaking as ungracious as useless.
The Supreme Being—he who holds in his hands the fate of empires, has, in his awful, inscrutable wisdom, suffered you to be placed at the head of what we would hope to be his favorite charge, the United States.
Upon you, sir, it depends whether you shall obtain the approbation of that God, the applause of a grateful people—or whether you shall add one more to the number of those whom the Supreme Being hath raised, in his wrath, to an eminence to become the victim of his thunders—of those who, abusing the confidence of their fellow citizens, perish by their just indignation.
Life and death, you find, are placed before you—Choose you between them.
On you it depends to be the source of happiness to our country, admired and blessed. You may be the curse of that country, despised and abhorred. Choose you the first? Have then that magnanimity, that greatness of soul, to be the president of a nation—not the vindictive head of a party.
In your appointment, search for true worth and real abilities. Regard not in what political denomination they are found—but seek them out from among each. They ought to be sought for, since sterling merit is unobtrusive.
By thus acting you will combine with you all the greatest, the wisest, and the best in the union—throwing aside those cursed distinctions, which have well nigh blotted us
out from the list of free nations—distinctions which I detest. And you, sir, may well know, from experience, or you are not worthy to be addressed by me, that to warmly disapprove, to oppose the measures of an administration, is not to be the enemy of our government or our constitution, or to be the friend of any other nation.
In your own immediate conduct, as it relates to the United States, or to foreign nations, act with a single eye to the interest, the felicity of the people over whom you preside, so far as is consistent with justice to others, uninfluenced by partialities, springing from any motive whatever, to any other country.
To pursue such a noble, such an exalted course—a course already illuminated by your predecessor, who passed through the same how honorable! how delightful! Have you those sentiments of the heart, those powers of the mind, and those energies of the soul, which are requisite for your achievement of so glorious a pursuit? Your administration will then place you "intex ostra." But, if you are here wanting "this ad-eum!"
He who now addresses you has no motive for so doing, but an ardent wish for the happiness of the United States. Beyond this he has no personal views. You cannot bestow on him an office worthy of his acceptance. It is not in your power to cloath him with honor, or cover him with disgrace.
He candidly tells you, that he has no reason to be your personal friend; but he is not your personal enemy. Suppose that government, which he approves, if well administered—Confer blessings upon that country, of which by birth he is a native—a country, many of whose citizens are to him inexpressibly dear.
Thus act—you shall not have a more sincere eulogist. But if you act otherwise, you cannot have a more decided, yet not a more honorable enemy than you will have in
ITHURIEL.

From the Philadelphia Register.
Embassy to Russia.—Some time about the year 1799, Mr. Adams nominated Mr. King to negotiate a treaty with Russia. As that power happened to be at war with France, a furious clamor was raised against the measure, as unnecessary and injurious; because we ought to have no entangling alliances with so remote a power.
Among the other inconsistencies of our democratic rulers, is the appointment of Short to the same country by Mr. Jefferson. So perdonaciously has the project been persevered in, that on the unanimous rejection of him by the Senate, Mr. J. Q. Adams was offered by way of second experiment, and equally rejected.
The difference between president Adams' measure and the late attempt of Messrs. Jefferson and Madison is too material to be passed over. The former did not intend to send a minister to Russia, but wished the negotiation to be conducted at London.—His economical and modest successors, on the other hand, wished to establish an embassy at St. Petersburg, and it is commonly said, that Short has been there in that character, and received his outfit of nine thousand dollars from the treasury.
The next Dancing Assembly will be held at Caton's Hotel, on St. Patrick's Day, the 17th instant. This being the last Ball, non-subscribers will be admitted at Three Dollars each. A HACK, as usual, will be provided for the evening by Mr. Caton.

BOSTON March 7. CARRACAS.
News had been received at Trinidad of a combination among several of the officers and some other principal characters, to establish an independent government in Caraccas [Spanish Maine]—but the people rose in the cause of Ferdinand the 7th and seized the revolutionists, twenty four of whom had been beheaded.
On Saturday, the legislature of this commonwealth terminated its winter session. Although this term has been nearly a month shorter, than that commenced in Jan. 1808, yet an unprecedented quantity of business has been transacted. Eighty acts and a great number of resolves, have been passed, and an unusual number of private petitions and memorials have received a patient attention and such a disposition as circumstances would permit. At the commencement of the session, the gloomy and portentous state of our national affairs, and the alarming measures which congress had adopted, were expected to engross nearly all the attention and most of the time of our court, but by industrious application, and the command of the best talents, they have averted or delayed the fall of impending calamities, and given a pledge to their constituents of their ability and determination to protect them from unconstitutional burthens; and yet have found sufficient time to complete all the customary local and minor objects of their legislation. The members of the majority will be welcomed among their fellow citizens with the exclamation of "well done good and faithful servants."
The various important reports and the memorial and address, do credit to the authors, and honor to the state; and will remain on record to be recurred to with pride by posterity.
In the senate and house on motions of democratic members, votes of thanks to the honorable president of the former, and the honorable speaker of the latter, were unanimously passed.
The lieutenant governor refused to sanction the bill to prevent unreasonable searches of dwelling houses, and the bill for dividing Falmouth, Maine.
NEW-YORK, March 11. MARTINIQUE.
By the brig Hetty, a friend of ours received St. Croix papers to the 14th ult.—besides the following, they contain the proclamation of gen. Beckwith and admiral Cochrane to the inhabitants of Martinique, dated January 30. This, with other particulars relative to their own operations, we are for want of room, compelled to reserve for our next number.
Christianstead (St. Croix) Feb. 14. We have been politely favored with the following extract of a letter dated MARTINIQUE, Feb. 5.
The army landed in three divisions on the morning of the 30th Jan. without the smallest opposition. Gen. Beckwith with the first division under sir George Prevost, principally composed of the Halifax troops, disembarked at Cul de Sac Robert, to the northward of the island; the York Rangers with gen. Shipley at Ance d' Arlet to the southward, for the attack of Pigeon Island; and gen. Maitland's division at St. Luce Bay to the S. E.
Our division luckily has hitherto surmounted no other obstacles than those of the very deep and difficult roads we have passed through in a fatiguing march. The first division has been so fortunate as to have had two opportunities of distinguishing themselves, which they have not failed to make the most of, and though their loss has been considerable, they have gained much credit, and taught the enemy what kind of troops they have to deal with. On Wednesday, the 1st of Feb. a part of gen. Hotham's brigade (the 7th reg.) and a flank-battalion under major Campbell, carried the heights of Surierie, in a very gallant style; the enemy contested the ground well, but could not stand the near approach of our troops, who drove them over the most difficult ground, and made tremendous havoc amongst them.
On the 2d, the same brigade made a further attack on some redoubts at the extremity of the ridge, covering the outworks of the fort; but though they marched with the most unparalleled coolness, even to the muzzle of the enemy's guns, and under a tremendous fire of grape and musketry (without even the assistance of a field piece) made good their way to the ditch, it was found impracticable to get into the redoubts and our troops were obliged to be withdrawn, I am sorry to say, with loss. The officers killed are, capt. Taylor of the 7th, and Sinclair of the 25th, with major Maxwell, of the 8th. Amongst the wounded are Col. Pakenham, who is again shot thro'
the neck, and maj. Campbell in the arm; neither of them however in danger. The enemy have suffered still more than we, their hospitals are quite full, and they have been obliged to put the rest of their wounded in a convent. The place near our head quarters is still strewed with their dead.
The courage of our troops has never been more conspicuous, and it seems to have struck a damp into the enemy, for all the militia have disbanded themselves, and the troops of the line (not more than 1500 at most) are shut up in the fort, which alone now remains to them, for Pigeon island surrendered yesterday, and fort Bourbon is invested on every side, and the bombardment will open as soon as the batteries can be constructed—which, however, the continued rains we have, and the almost impracticable roads will render a task of length & labor.

"ALGERNON SIDNEY,"
Or GIDEON GRANGER, esq. postmaster gen. of the U. States.
This placeman of the administration, has lately issued a pamphlet under the signature of Algernon Sidney , for the purpose of justifying and eulogizing the administration of Thomas Jefferson . It is especially addressed to the people of the New-England states; but seems to be considered by the democratic newspaper printers elsewhere, as containing food equally suited to the palates of those who inhabit other sections of the country. That Gideon Granger (a lawyer as the democrats would tell us were he on our side of politics) receiving some three or four thousand dollars a year under president Jefferson, should make out a very fine story for his master is nothing more than one might expect. From what we see in the democratic newspapers respecting the performance, it seems he has settled the affairs of the nation quite to their satisfaction.
In his last paper, my Neighbor-in-Law has given an extract from this notable work, wherein the said Gideon has undertaken, in three columns, to set forth the measures and merits of the three administrations of Washington , Adams and Jefferson , and in which, as in gratitude bound, he has taken good care that his friend Jefferson should make no mean show upon the carpet. In this comparison the four years of the Adams administration are stretched out alongside of Jefferson's eight ; but even with this advantage of room, Gideon has taken care to adroit several of the most important acts of that administration. He has said nothing about the building of the navy which saved
so much of our property from the grasp of French freebooters, nor the war with France which was successfully maintained and carried on till that power was brought to knuckle and consent to peace, nor of the suppression of the insurrection of his democratic brethren in Pennsylvania. He has placed to the credit of his friend Jefferson some things too, which he has no right or pretence to claim, viz. the repeal of the alien law and abolition of the direct tax. Neither the alien law, nor the direct tax were repealed or abolished during Jefferson's reign.
The fair way of dealing with these two administrations, would have been to compare the first four years of Jefferson's administration with the four years in which president Adams acted, stating also the respective advantages & disadvantages under which each labored. As Gideon, however, has taken care to keep this view of the subject out of sight, let us try how it would have looked on paper if he had candidly given a "full view of the whole ground."
During the four years of the Adams administration (I take Granger's own statement) the public debt was increased, $3,394,317. Money left in the treasury at the expiration of said four years, 1,794,044 dollars. Deduct this from the increased debt leaves 1,600,273 dollars as the increase of debt, against the four years of the Adams administration.
Now, let us see how we stood at the close of the first four years of Jefferson's administration.
Amount of debt January 1, 1801, according to Gallatin's report, 82,000,167 dollars 35 cents. ( Jefferson came first into office March 4th, 1801.) Amount of debt January 1, 1804, 85,353,642 dollars 22 cents. ( Jefferson's first term expired March 4, 1804.)
Increase of debt during Jefferson's first 4 years, 3,353,474 dollars and 86 cts.—From this sum take 1,600,273 dols. and it leaves 1,753,201 dollars and 86 cents—Being an increase of public debt during the first four years of Jefferson's administration, of one million, seven hundred and fifty three thousand, two hundred and one dollars and eighty six cents more than it was increased the four years of the Adams administration!
Now let us compare the ways and means of the two administrations. As our trade and navigation, as well as population, have been constantly increasing since the federal constitution was adopted, so the public revenues have been also continually accumulating till they now (before the embargo) yield more than double the amount they did during the 1st years of President Washington's administration.
The whole revenue amounted, during the four years of President Adams administration, to 41,898,743 dollars and 44 cents.
The whole revenue amounted, during the first four years of President Jefferson's administration to 50,331,654 dollars and 91 cents. Deduct 41,898,743 dollars and 44 cts. and it leaves 8,432,911 dollars and 47 cts. paid into the public treasury during Jefferson's first four years, more than was paid in during Adams term of office. Add to this 1,753,201 dols. 86 cents. and it makes a difference against the first 4 years of Jefferson , of 10,686,013 dollars and 33 cents.
President Adams came into office just at the time when our affairs with France assumed the most threatening aspect. Our commerce greatly embarrassed by the depredations of French cruisers, and our ambassadors driven from Paris without a hearing. A second embassy was sent which was treated with like indignity and forced to return without a hearing. Meanwhile the cruisers of France were extending their depredations and some of them even came to the mouths of our rivers and harbors and captured our ships as they came in or went out. Nothing but resistance or relinquishment of independence was left for the administration to choose. They adopted the former, but it involved great expence, tho' no loss to the country. A navy was built and put to sea. Fortifications were erected and a defensive army enlisted. The energy manifested by the government soon convinced France that we were no longer to be trifled with. Her plundering privateers were captured or driven from the ocean; and at length finding that we could and would protect ourselves against her insults and injuries, she sued for peace and an accommodation was effected; a treaty settled, not indeed the most advantageous, for the administration had been accused of wantonly involving the nation in war; it was settled upon condition of a mutual cessation of hostilities; but not relinquishing, as Gideon Granger falsely asserts the claims of our merchants upon France for the losses they had sustained from her depredations. During this period also, the Pennsylvania
democrats broke out in open rebellion. The government, after in vain the effect of peaceable measures to render, was compelled to call out the militia at great expense to suppress the insurrection. Nearly the whole four years of the administration, the nation was involved in difficulties and embarrassments; but everything was finally settled in peace and quiet before President Adams' time expired.
President Jefferson came into power just in time to reap the fruit of his predecessor's labors. Peace was settled with all the world. He had nothing to do but to hold his arms and sit quietly in his chair of state. Trade was flourishing, the revenue abundant and increasing, and the whole economy of government, as he was constrained to declare, in his first speech to Congress, was in the "full tide of successful experiment." Yet with all these advantages, and an increase of revenue of near nine millions of dollars, over the four years' revenue of President Adams , at the close of his first term of office, the public debt was increased 1,753,201 dollars and 86 cents. more than it was the four years which President Adams served the country.
