NEW YORK, March 29.
Capture of the Cape of the Good Hope.
By the ship Aeolus , captain Mather, arrived yesterday from Canton and St. Helena, we have received the particulars of the capture of the Cape of Good Hope, by a British force under the command of sir Home Popham and sir David Baird.
On the 23d of January, the English brig L'Espoir , arrived at St. Helena from the Cape of Good Hope, and brought intelligence of the surrender of that place to the English on the 10th of January. The English troops were landed about the 5th of January, on the Hottentot shore. They were much annoyed in landing, by the Dutch light troops, and so on attacked by the whole Dutch force under the command of gen. Yansen. A sharp engagement took place. Various were the reports at St. Helena respecting the number killed and wounded; but it was generally supposed that 1000 Dutch, and from 600 to 800 of the English were killed and wounded. The Dutch troops were finally defeated, and governor Yansen, with about 3000 troops, retreated to the country, and the place capitulated.

The force sent against the Cape consisted of 7,300 troops, under the command of General sir David Baird; and the following ships of war under the command of sir Home Popham, viz. Diadem, 64 guns; Raisonable, 64; Belliqueux, 64; Diomede, 50; Narcissus, 38; Leda, 38; another 38 gun frigate; L'Espoir brig, 18, and another brig of 18 guns; 3 Indiamen and 38 transports.

BALTIMORE, April 3.
Latest European Intelligence.
The ship United States arrived below yesterday, after a short passage of 23 days from London, her accounts therefore are fourteen or fifteen days later than those before received. Mr. Porvance, son of the collector of this port, with other passengers came up last evening in the Annapolis packet. The gentleman named politely forwarded us a number of London papers of dates 27, 25, 23, 21, and 20th of February, and others, irregular and not so late. Their contents claim but little interest, this our readers will necessarily calculate when we inform them that the following selections are the most important we could furnish.
LONDON, Feb. 21.
Capture of Medina. —Last night a packet arrived at the India house from Mr. Barker, the company's resident at Bagdad, containing an account of the capture of Medina by the Wahabees, whose army having been reinforced from the desert, has overwhelmed the adjacent country, and taken the city by assault, with infinite bloodshed and devastation. They set fire to Medina, in various places, destroyed the mosques, after having ransacked them of their valuable shrines and treasures, and completely demolished the tomb of the prophet.
Some thousands of females of the first rank were carried off by the besiegers into the desert, with a number of the principal male inhabitants. A troop of camels were also sent away with jewels and other treasure to an immense amount.
Our letters from Holland continue to assert, that Bonaparte perseveres in his earnest entreaties to the king of Prussia, to induce his majesty to shut his ports against the commerce of England, and it is feared that the implacable tyrant will ultimately carry his point in this respect. Much, however, will depend upon the result of the negotiations now pending at Berlin, in which the Danish minister takes a conspicuous part.
A council of the cabinet ministers was yesterday afternoon held at Mr. Secretary Fox's office, in Downing-street. Rumor stated, that the deliberations related to the subject of peace; but we could not trace this rumor to any authentic source.
A private letter from Bremen of the 11th inst. contains the following article, relative to the sentences passed on the officers whose conduct produced the recent misfortunes of the house of Austria:
"You have of course heard that the archduke Charles has caused a thorough investigation into the causes of the misfortunes of the Imperial arms in Germany, and, astonishing to think, the undermentioned persons, so high in the confidence of his majesty, are said to have had the following sentences passed upon them, for the criminal part they have acted in the late transactions:
Prince Auersberg, to be deprived of nobility, his estates confiscated, and imprisoned ten years in the fortress of Spielberg.
Prince Lamberti, imprisoned for life, in the said fortress.
General Jell, sentenced to be shot.
Privy counsellor Callenbach, ordered to quit the imperial states.
Counsellor Faszender, to be dismissed from his office.
Field marshal Kaunitz, and field marshal Aufenberg, have committed suicide while under arrest.
All the staff officers of the regiments of Kaunitz and Spork, reduced and disgraced.
Count Cobentzel ordered to quit the country.
General Mack's plans to be submitted to a board of general officers.
Thirty generals dismissed and many more under examination.
The trimming policy of the cabinet of Berlin is universally reprobated in the North of Germany. It has formally acknowledged the mock sovereigns of Bavaria and Wirtemberg.
We received this morning American papers to the 16th ult. The congress has been occupied in close sitting in the discussion of the differences between the court of Madrid and the United States, as well as of the grounds of complaint preferred by the mercantile interest against the acts of violence that have been so frequently imputed to our cruisers. None of the proceedings in either had, however been allowed to transpire. The merchants of New York are extremely indignant at the restrictions and vexatious under which they assert their trade labors, from the conduct of British ships of war. Should their complaints be just, we sincerely hope that every explanation and facility will be offered by our government to preserve a good understanding with the United States.
The merchants of the city of London have drawn up a petition to government, praying that a more efficient protection than that hitherto granted may be offered to commerce. In this petition it is set forth, that, notwithstanding the heavy convoy duty at present imposed, the number of our merchant ships captured during the last three months, has been far greater than during the whole of the present war hitherto. As a remedy for a grievance so serious and alarming, the merchants propose to government to commission an additional number of armed luggers, to serve as convoy, and cruise in the channel, which now swarms with the privateers of the enemy.
We understand that a close blockade of the enemy's ports is one of the measures determined upon by the new board of admiralty.
Accounts were yesterday received from Dublin of partial disturbances having arisen in the county of Mayo, but wholly unconnected with any political question. They are stated to have originated solely in the vexatious manner, to the poorer classes in which the tythes are let, and in which they are collected.
February 25.
The electors of Bavaria and Wirtemberg were proclaimed Kings on the 1st day of this month, at which time Napoleon was at Munich. A report had prevailed on the Continent, that he intended making a visit to Berlin, where, it appears, the emperor Alexander is again expected.
February 26.
It is the general opinion in Spain, that they will be compelled by the French, to march an army against Portugal in the approaching Spring. We recollect an article to this effect, in the Monitor some days ago, given as intelligence received from Madrid, but which in all probability, came direct from the French Government.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
FRIDAY, April 4.
The United States brig Hornet, captain Dent, failed from this port for France on Saturday morning. FULWAR SKIRWIRE, Esq.; went passenger in her with dispatches from Government. [New York paper.]
Captain Gage informs, that there were two privateers laying in Havana ready for sea, with positive written orders to carry into effect the Decree of Talleyrand's, and which the captains of the privateers have shown in Havana. He also informs, that there were two privateer schooners at Havana, one mounting 12, and the other 8 guns, ready for sea.
[Ibid.]
NEW YORK, March 31.
The schooner Amiens, Jackson, arrived at Havana on the 11th instant, from this port. Captain J. informed Captain Smith, of the brig Rajah, that he was boarded by a privateer off Abaco, the captain of which a few days before had spoke the ship Hare from New York for Havana, having been ashore on Abaco Reef, and was in a very leaky condition. The ship Willing Maid, from Norfolk for Campeachy, was cast away on the Little Keys; the captain and supercargo had got on board some homeward bound American vessel, and the crew had arrived at the Havana in a schooner from St. Thomas.
Captain Smith informs us that the two French frigates, which made their escape from St. Domingo during the engagement, had been off Abaco about the 6th instant, and had captured a British brig from Philadelphia laden with provisions, and put the captain and crew on board the schr. capt. Lord, from Boston for Havana, where she arrived on the 12th instant. A British frigate, which had been cruising off the Havana for some time, left that place the day before captain Smith sailed, on hearing that the above two frigates were off Abaco.
From the Washington Federalist.
On Wednesday last the bill prohibiting the importation of certain articles from Great Britain and Ireland, passed the house of representatives. Ayes 63 Noes 32. The bill is to go into operation the 15th of Nov. next.
If any man knows of any thing more childish than the passage of this bill, we would be very glad to hear of it, that this may not stand alone in the annals of legislative nonsense. To go into operation, after the importation of our fall goods, the 15th of November; a fortnight after the next meeting of congress, if they meet the first Monday in November, as they probably will. It is shewing the teeth, and at the same time declaring they are afraid to bite.
Mr. Randolph said but a few words. He declared it a milk and water bill; a dose of chicken-broth to be administered eight months hence; a bill almost too contemptible for the discussion of men of sound minds. If, said he, you would throw the disgrace of it from your shoulders, throw the bill under the clerk's table: It is nothing more nor less than granting a bounty for perjury; for no part of it is worth a farthing except that relating to custom house oaths, and we all know what custom house oaths are: It cannot be carried into execution; you know it cannot; nor do you wish it should be; it is intended only for a show, a bug bear.
The times requires something very different—the administration wants energy. Is the house to be whipped into this measure by the underlings of government? Why will not gentlemen attend to the changes and present situation of Europe? Will they continue to go the same unvaried round in their political go-cart, heedless of the changes by which we ought to be governed? Is not a negotiation now pending? I call, Mr. Speaker, for the reading of the dispatches lately received.
Speaker. What dispatches?
Mr. Randolph. Those from Mr. Munroe.
Speaker. They are confidential.
Mr. Randolph. I hope they will be read.
Speaker. They are not in the possession of the house.
Mr. Randolph. I hope they will be sent for then.
Speaker. I have stated to the gentleman that they are not before the house; and, if here, they would not be read.
There was here a loud call for the question, and Mr. Randolph forbore rising again.
Messrs. Clopton and Newton spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr. Lyon moved to recommit the bill for the purpose of granting leave to the president by proclamation to declare it null provided our differences should be adjusted with G. Britain.
There were about a dozen in favor of the motion.
It now stands, importation must be stopped, though all disputes should be arranged at this moment—Something terrible to this to be sure—But the fact is they mean to meet the the 1st of November to repeal it, they have inveigled a great number, by urging the necessity of unanimity, and promising that particular care should be taken that the bill should never be executed—This is apparent—Well it answers for a show! What a spirited and energetic congress we have! Buy lands twice of Spain, through fear of offending France, and pass a bill against England, the very face of which declares it cannot be was never intended to be executed:

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen, 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 colds, coughs, 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.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. It breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper. He has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at certain period of life—bad lying-in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowliness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, between Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tereis or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowliness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—
By Hamilton's
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
JOHN MOLTHER.

Will be Sold, to the highest bidder, on MONDAY, the 19th day of May next, at Hay-Market, (being the first day of the next district court to be held there)
TWO hundred acres of LAND, more or less, known by the name of Greenwich, and lying in the county of Prince William, four miles from Hay-Market, on the road leading from thence to Fredericksburg and the Carolina's.—The back road from the city of Washington to the southern states also runs through the land, which renders it an eligible stand for a tavern, it is also a good stand for a store.—There are several houses, with a well of excellent water on this land, which lies well for cultivation, and has a considerable quantity of wood on it. The Plaster of Paris also appears well adapted to the soil, as I raised fine clover even it from the application of that manure only.
The terms of sale will be—One third of the purchase money in 6 months, one third in 12 months, and the remaining third in 18 months from the day of sale; the purchaser giving bond and approved security for the payment thereof. Possession will be given immediately to the purchaser, and a good title made on receipt of the first payment.
