Doctor I. J. Comyn,
A professional DENTIST—of Baltimore,
RESPECTFULLY acquaints the LADEIS and GENTLEMEN of Alexandria, that he intends to practice in this place for a few days, in all the various branches of his profession. No genteel person of either sex, can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or fetid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and elsewhere. Without giving pain, or hurting the enamel, he removes the tartar, &c. when the teeth will assume a beautiful appearance the gums adhering to the teeth; but if the state of the gums require it, doctor C. will give to the person an antiscorbutic lotion of chemical preparation, which gained the applause of hundreds both in Europe and America. It is pleasant, innocent, and effectual in smoothing and whitening the teeth and curing the gums, rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweetening the breath. Doct. C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, as to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impossible to distinguish them from real ones. Dr. C. flatters himself from his being regularly bred to the practice of physick, as well as to the Dentist Business, and his long experience on the continent of Europe (France and Spain) to give to all those who favour him with their commands, every possible satisfaction. May 13.
N. B. Doctor C. will wait on any lady or gentleman at their respective houses, or may be consulted at the City Tavern

In the circuit court of the United States for the Pennsylvania district, April session 1809, present judges Washington and Peters.
United States, vs.
Michael Bright, James Atkinson, Charles Westfall, Abraham Ogden, Charles Hong, William Cole, Samuel Wilkins, Daniel Phyle, John Knipe.
WASHINGTON, Judge, delivered the opinion of the court.
[CONTINUED.]
There is no dispute about the facts—The defendants have called no witnesses—and their defence is rested upon the lawfulness of the acts laid in the indictment. They justify their conduct upon two grounds—1st. That the decree of the district court under which the process issued was coram non Judice , and to all intents and purposes void; and 2dly, That though it were a valid and binding decree, still that they cannot be questioned criminally for acting in obedience to the orders of the governor of this state.
The decree of the district court is said to be void, for two reasons; first, because the court of appeals had not a power to reverse the sentence of the court of admiralty founded upon the verdict of a jury; and 2dly, because the state of Pennsylvania claims an interest in the subject which was in controversy in the district court.
The first question is, was the decree of the court of appeals void for want of jurisdiction of the case in which it was made?
But first let me ask, can this be made a question, at the present day, before this or any other court in the United States? We consider it to be so firmly settled by the highest judicial authority in the nation, that is not now to be questioned or shaken.—The power of the court of appeals to re-examine and reverse or affirm the sentence of the courts of admiralty established by the several states, though founded upon the verdicts of juries, was first considered and decided in the case of Doan and Penhalow , in the supreme court of the United States. The jurisdiction of the court to re-examine the whole cause as to both law and fact, was considered as resulting from the national character of an appellate prize court, and not from any grant of power by the state from whose court the appeal had been taken. The right of the state to limit the court of appeals in the exercise of its jurisdiction, was determined to be totally inadmissible. The same question was considered by the supreme court upon the motion for the mandamus, and decided to be settled and at rest. If it were necessary to give further support to the authority of these cases, the opinion of the supreme court of Pennsylvania in Ross's executors, vs. Rittenhouse , and the unanimous opinion of the old Congress, with the exception of the representatives of this state, and one of the representatives of New-Jersey, might be mentioned. If reasons were required to strengthen the above decisions, those assigned by the committee of congress, upon the case of the Active , are believed to be conclusive.
But I think it will not be difficult to prove that the law of Pennsylvania, passed on the 9th of September, 1788, establishing a court of admiralty in that state, neither by the terms of it, nor by a fair construction of its meaning, was intended to abridge the jurisdiction of the court of appeals in cases like the one under consideration. The words are, "that the jury shall be sworn or affirmed to return a true verdict upon the libel according to evidence; and the finding of the jury shall establish the facts without re-examination or appeal." The obvious meaning of this provision was, that if the jury found the facts upon which the law was to arise, those facts were to be considered as conclusive by the appellate court, and not open to re-examination by the judges of that court; the legislature thinking it, no doubt, most safe to entrust the finding of facts to a jury of twelve men. But what was to be done if the jury found no facts, as was the present case? If the appellate court were precluded from an enquiry into the facts, affirmation of the sentence appealed from would be inevitable. This absurdity then followed—In all cases it was necessary to impanel a jury to establish the facts, and in all cases, without exception, the party thinking himself aggrieved might appeal. But in every case where the jury choose to find a general verdict, the sentence appealed from must of necessity be affirmed. I cannot believe that this was the meaning of the legislature; and I do not think that the
words of the law will fairly warrant such a construction.
Let me then put this question seriously to the jury: Will they have the vanity to think themselves wiser than all those who have passed opinions upon this important question of law? and will they undertake to decide that those opinions were erroneous? Miserable indeed must be the condition of that community where the law is unsettled, and decisions upon the very point are disregarded when they again come directly or incidentally, into discussion. In such a state of things good men have nothing to hope, and bad men nothing to fear. There is no standard by which the rights of property, and the most estimable privileges to which the citizen is entitled can be regulated. All is doubt and uncertainty until the judge has pronounced the law of the particular case before him; but which carries with it no authority as to a similar case between other parties.
But suppose for a moment against the settled law upon the point, that the court of appeals had not a power to re-examine the verdict of the case of the Active ; and on that account that the decree of the district court, in opposition to that of the court of admiralty was erroneous, it does not therefore follow that the district court had no jurisdiction of the case on which this process issued. If erroneous, it could only be re-examined and corrected in a superior court. But if the subject depended upon a question of prize or no prize, it was completely within the cognizance of the district court by the constitution and the laws of the United States; the former of which grants to the federal courts, and the latter to the district courts cognizance of all civil causes of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction. This is such a case; and we consider that circumstance to be decisive of the first point. We are happy on this occasion, as we are on all others to coincide in opinion with the learned and respectable gentleman who presides in the supreme judiciary of this state.*
The next ground of objection to the jurisdiction of the district court is, that the state of Pennsylvania claimed interest in the subject in dispute between the parties to that cause.
The amendment to the constitution upon which this question occurs declares that "the judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States, by citizens of another state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state." It is certain that the suit in the district court was not commenced or prosecuted against the state of Pennsylvania. She was in no respect a party to that suit. But it is contended that under a fair construction of this amendment, if a state claims an interest in the subject in dispute, the case is not cognizable in a federal court. In most cases it will be found that the soundest and safest rule by which to arrive at the meaning and intention of a law, is to abide by the words which the law maker has used. If he has expressed himself so ambiguously that the plain interpretation of the words would lead to absurdity, and to a contradiction of the obvious intention of the law, a more liberal course may be pursued. But if upon any occasion the strict rule should be observed, it ought to be in expounding the constitution; although I do not mean to say that even in that case this rule should be inflexible. Every reason is
* "It is unnecessary for me to give any opinion concerning the right of the old court of appeals to reverse the decision of justices, contrary to the provisions of the act of assembly of Pennsylvania, under which the state court of admiralty was instituted. That is the point which occasioned so much jealousy and heart-burning between several of the states and the old congress—it divided the opinions of many men of unquestionable talents and integrity, and certainly was a question of no small difficulty. But the state of Pennsylvania having ratified the present constitution, did thereby virtually invest the courts of the United States with power to decide this controversy. They have decided it, and being clearly within their jurisdiction, I am not at liberty to consider it as now open to discussion. The supreme court of the United States has more than once decided, that the old court of appeals had the power to reverse the verdicts of juries, notwithstanding the law of any state to the contrary. From the establishment of this principle, it irresistably results, that Gideon Olmstead and his associates, were entitled to the whole proceeds of the Active and her cargo, and may pursue them into whatever hands they may have fallen, unless indeed they have fallen into the hands of persons not subject to an action in the courts of the United States." [Chief justice Tilghman's opinion on the writ of habeas corpus, &c.]
opposed to the construction contended for by the defendants' counsel; and, to our apprehension, there is not one sound reason in favor of it. If the title to the thing in dispute be in the state, and this is made to appear to the court, it is inconceivable that the plaintiff should recover so as to disturb that right. But if he should recover, the state would not be bound by the judgment, not being a party to it. This is by no means a new case—If one individual obtains a judgment or decree against another, the interest of a third person, not a party, will not be bound or prejudiced by the decision; but he may nevertheless assert his right in a court of justice against the party in possession of the property to which he claims title. The state cannot be forced into court; but she may come there if she pleases, in pursuit of her rights, and will no doubt do so upon all proper and necessary occasions. But if on the other hand, the mere claim of interest by a state in the subject in dispute between two citizens can have the magic effect of suspending all the functions of a court of justice over that subject, and of annihilating its decrees when pronounced, this effective and necessary branch of our government, and of all free governments, may be rendered useless at a ny moment at the pleasure of a state. If the suit be prosecuted against a state, the court perceives at once its want of jurisdiction, and can dismiss the party at the threshold. But if a latent claim in the state, not known perhaps by any of the litigant parties, is sufficient to oust the jurisdiction, to annul the judgment when rendered, and to affect all the parties concerned, with the consequences of carrying a void judgment into execution, the federal court may become more than useless—they will be traps in which unwary suitors may be ensnared to their ruin. To illustrate this position the district attorney mentioned many very strong and very supposable cases. I will add one other. A. sues B. for a debt, or for property either real or personal in his possession. Conscious that he must pay the money, or lose his possession in consequence of the unquestionable title of his adversary, B. pays over the money, or conveys the property even pending the suit, to a third person, for the use of the state, and by this operation arrests the further progress of the suit, or avoids the judgment whenever it shall pass. A doctrine so unjust, and big with consequences so alarming, and so fatal to the general government, should have strong and unequivocal words to support it. The court would be very mischievously employed in supplying them. We should convert this amendment, this sacrifice made to state pride, into an engine to demolish altogether one of the essential branches of the general government.
To this branch of the argument, therefore, the answer is short but conclusive.—The state is not a party, and she has no interest in the subject in dispute in the district court. The decree of the court of appeals extinguished the interest of Pennsylvania in any share of the Active and her cargo, and vested the full right to the whole in Olmstead and his associates, who might rightfully follow that part of the proceeds which came into the hands of the representatives of Rittenhouse, who held them as stakeholders for whoever might have title to them. Rittenhouse himself held them in his private capacity and not as treasurer, for his individual security against the bond given to Ross, and which was still outstanding when this decree was rendered. I know not how this part of the subject can be made plainer.
There is another objection to the argument drawn from the interest of the state, which was not satisfactorily answered by Mr. Ingersoll, to whom it was stated by the court during this discussion. By the constitution of the United States, the judicial power extends to all controversies between a state and citizens of another state, whatever might be the nature of the controversy, and no matter as to the court to which the cause might be assigned by the legislative distribution of the judicial powers. That amendment declares that the above provision shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity commenced or prosecuted against a state by a citizen of another state or an alien. This was not a suit in law or in equity; but in a court of the law of nations and in a case of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction. The question put to the learned counsel, was, "is such a case excluded from the cognizance of the district court by this amendment?" The answer given was that the amendment ought to be so construed, this case being equally within the mischief meant to be remedied. That is—the court is bound to supply the words "or in cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction." Would we be justified by any rule of law in admitting such an interpolation, even if a reason could not be

designed for the omission of those words in the amendment itself? I think not. In various struggles to get at the spirit and intention of the framers of the constitution, I fear that this invaluable charter of our rights would in a very little time be entirely construed away, and become at length so disfigured that its founders would recollect very few of its original features. But there appears to be a solid reason for the liberal interpretation of the amendment to cases at law and in equity. And this will throw some light on the preceding branch of this argument. Suits at law and in equity cannot be prosecuted against a state without making her a party, and the judgment acts directly upon her. But in what manner was the execution to be made effectual? The subject was a delicate one, and it was thought best to avoid having it practically tested. But in cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, the property in dispute is generally in the possession of the court or of persons bound to produce it or its equivalent, and the proceedings are in rem . The court decides in whom the right is, and distributes the proceeds accordingly. In such a case the court need not depend upon the good will of a state claiming an interest in the thing, to enable it to execute its decree. All the world are parties to such a suit, and of course are bound by the sentence. The state may interpose her claim and have it decided.  But she cannot lie by, and after the decree is passed say she was a party, and therefore not bound for want of jurisdiction to the court. This doctrine in relation to the proceedings of a court of the law of nations, and in which all nations are interested might be productive of the most serious consequences to the general government, to whom we owed all our relations with foreign governments. As at present advised, then, we think that the amendment to the constitution does not extend to suits of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction.  [To be continued.]
NEW YORK, May 11.  We have not, for almost two years, witnessed an exhibition so much like "the good old times," as that of yesterday. In the course of the day, nearly forty vessels from sea entered this port, with a fine breeze from S. E. loaded principally with our own produce, intended to be shipped from this grand depot of the union to foreign ports. In addition to this, at the same time, five ships, brigs and schooners were seen coming down from eastern ports, and others loaded were dropping out of the east into the north river, to embrace the first favorable wind to put to sea.  There are now at anchor off the battery, ten or twelve ships, and several brigs and schooners ready for sea. [Gazette.]
By the Vestal, from Lisbon, we have received newspapers and letters to the 27th March.  Letters were received in Lisbon from the marquis of Romana, dated the 11th March at Requeijo, Galicia; he mentioned that the French have not lost less than 10,000 men, in killed and prisoners, in that province. Romana was so stationed as to be able to cut off the communication of the French with Leon and Galicia. Vigo was in possession of the Spaniards. Three English frigates had entered that place, and supplied them with ammunition.  Lisbon was still in possession of the Portuguese, and troops were daily arriving from England. Arms and cloathing for ten thousand had been sent them: the people were in high spirits and determined to resist the French. The Portuguese army was divided into three divisions; one of which consisting of 40,000 men, was on the frontiers.  The French had not entered the frontiers of Portugal, as some time since stated.
March 12.  The arrival of the Steam-Boat from Albany, enables me to state, that whole returns for members of Assembly and Senators of this state had been received at the office of the secretary of state on Wednesday morning. From a gentleman who was in the office when the returns from the most distant counties came in, we have the following result.  The members of the legislature as returned at the secretary's office on Wednesday morning, stood thus:    Federal  63    Republican  49    Federal majority  14    Federal senators elected, 3 in the Western district, and 2 in the Eastern; which with the two federalists from the latter district whose time have not expired, give us 7 in the senate.

The schooner Clarissa , Wm. Smith master, from this port bound for St. Jago de Cuba, was on the 2d of April captured by a French privateer commanded by captain J. Forrest, arrived in a small bay on the N.W. part of the island of St. Domingo, where she was robbed of 73 bbls. of flour, a British ship heaving in sight prevented these picaroons from taking as much as would load the privateer, the captain of the privateer has shown his orders from gen. Berqure, (commander in chief of the city of St. Domingo) authorising him to take all kind of provisions he could find, that the French government would be answerable for the same. He has likewise furnished a receipt stating the quantity taken, and that the same should be paid for according to the market price at St. Jago de Cuba.

The honorable Paul Hamilton , esquire, secretary of the navy of the United States, arrived in Washington city on Friday last.
The following extract from the Richmond "Spirit of '76" is in unison with the sentiments of a large portion of the democrats of Virginia, and is sufficiently expressive of what estimate will hereafter be placed upon Mr. Jefferson's measures by the more enlightened, if not the most numerous class of his former admirers. That Mr. Adams' administration was not chequerred by a few errors we have not the hardihood to contend. Some of them were personal and belonged to the individual, and we are not disposed to deny that there might be others, which may only be excused on account of the fallibility of human actions.
But let us mark the contrast of his successor. Entering into office with the highest professions of impartiality and devotion to peace and public liberty, we find, in his administration, an exemplification of whatever is most poignant to the feelings of a people attached to their free institutions, as well as most baneful to their prosperity. As the last two years of his term have been most crowded with these painful incidents, no recital is necessary to impress them upon the attention. The joy universally diffused by the partial repeal of the embargoes and non-intercourse, is a pledge that the wrongs with which he harassed his country, are to undergo a still deeper condemnation.
"We consider the course pursued by the administration and its followers for several years past as justly obnoxious and calculated to bring republican government into disrepute. Some of the most objectionable features of Mr. Adams' administration have been either greatly exceeded or closely imitated by that of Mr. Jefferson. We shall not therefore blindly and servilely flat ter what we really at heart condemn, nor regard those as the exclusive republicans of our country, who have had the address to retain the name, whilst in fact its substance has been practised by others."  [North Amer.]
Under the Philadelphia head the appointment by the Central Junta of Spain, of Mr. Viar, is announced, as joint charge des affaires with the chevalier de Foronda. It does not appear from any public act of our government, nor are we otherwise apprized of the circumstance, whether it acknowledges Joseph's usurpation or the administration by the Junta, as the lawful government. The United States have never taken upon themselves to judge of the titles by which sovereign powers are exercised in foreign countries. They have always considered the government in fact , as that which was entitled to keep up the friendly and other relations. In conformity with this principle, even the murderers of Louis the 16th were recognized; and on the invasion of Holland and the consequent revolution of the Dutch government, the American charge des affaires found himself in possession of express instructions to acknowledge the new government, should it be generally acquiesced in by the people, as eventually happened. All the changes in the French and Dutch administrations, since that period, have been successively admitted to be legitimate for all the purposes of our intercourse.
But the same rule does not admit of application to the present situation of Spain. Here we find a ruthless invader usurping for one of his minions, a throne, which he has not been able to secure, and on the other hand we find a brave and generous people unanimously and almost by one motion resisting the attempt to impose a foreign yoke. The possessions of the invaders are limited to the spots which their army can cover, and the military communications between their several posts. There is no
room therefore for an acknowledgment grounded upon possession or the acquiescence of the people.  [Ibid.]

The Albany Register says that the federalists claim 3 of the four senatorial districts, and he does not question the validity of the claim. If this be so, certain sacrificing men who have perfidiously and basely endeavored to sacrifice their steadfast friends to save themselves, will themselves be sacrificed in turn.

The latest letters from England mention the receipt of private information from France, of the discovery of a real or pretended conspiracy against Bonaparte, and that in consequence, 550 persons have been arrested at Paris alone. Several senators, generals, legislators, and prefects, were said to be implicated in a plot of removing Napoleon, and of placing the crown of France on the head of its legitimate prince Louis XVIIIth, as the only mean of restoring Europe to its long lost tranquility. No public examinations had taken place, from fear, as was stated, of alarming the armies; but the prisoners underwent daily interrogatories in the temple and other revolutionary bastiles, before Fouche, and the confidential members of the secret police of the French emperor. Strict search has been made after the duke of Angouleme, the presumptive heir of the French Bourbons, married to the daughter of Louis XVI. who was supposed to be concealed at Paris. This prince however was safe in England, with his uncle Louis XVIII. Ferdinand VII. and his brother, were reported to be confined in the State Prison, the castle of Vincennes, near Paris where the duke of Enghien was murdered in 1804. Bonaparte's journey to Germany is stated to have been retarded by these occurrences; and before he quitted his capital, he deposited his will in the Senate which the grand officers of state, as well as the members of the Senate, swore, in case of any accident to him punctually to execute.

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

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