SATURDAY'S LITERARY BOWER.

Mr. EDITOR,
I am glad to see a correct taste reviving in our country. Long, too long, has the press groaned beneath the leaden lumber and new-coined trash of the present day. In common with my fellows, I have felt this deluge, and have sickened at its crudities and monstrous absurdities. Sometimes, indeed, a transient star has shot athwart the gloom, which merely served, it would afterwards seem, to increase the coming darkness. Weaned and disgusted with the mighty mass of words, I drop the amplifying Chronicler, and seek to rouse my jaded spirits in the golden periods and standing volumes of our ancestors. My facile spirit soon "creeps into favor with itself," and in the same hour I can laugh with Swift and weep with Shaw—can moralize with Johnson, and be gay with Addison; and positively, to-day, I have done almost all this in perusing the "Splendid Shilling" of Phillips. Pray try what effect it may have upon your readers.
Yours,
DICK LIVELY.
THE SPLENDID SHILLING.
By Mr. J. PHILLIPS.
"Sing heavenly Muse! Things unattempted yet, in prose or rhyme; A Shilling, Breeches, and Chimeras dire."
Happy the man, who, void of cares and strife,
In silken or in leathern parse retains A splendid shilling. He nor hears with pain New oysters cry'd, nor sighs for chearful ale: But with his friends when nightly mists arise, To Juniper's magpye, or Town Hall repairs; Where, mindful of the nymph whose wanton eye
Transfix'd his soul, & kindled amorous flames, Chloe, or Phillis, he each circling glass Wishes her health, and joy, and equal love. Meanwhile he smokes and laughs at merry tale, Or puns ambiguous, or conundrum quaint.
But I, whom griping penury surrounds, And hunger, sure attendant upon want, With scanty offals, and small acid tiff, (Wretched repast!) my meagre corse sustain: Then solitary walk, or doze at home
In garret vile, and with a warming puff Regale chill'd fingers; or, from tube as black As winter chimney, or well-polish'd jet, Exhale Mundungus, ill-perfuming scent; Not blacker tube, nor of a shorter size, Smoaks Cambro-Briton (vers'd in pedigree, sprung from Cadwallader and Arthur, kings Full famous in romantic tale) when he O'er many a craggy hill, and barren cliff, Upon a cargo of fam'd Cestrian cheese, High over-shadowing rides, with a design To vend his wares, or at th' Arvonian mart, Or Maridunum, or the ancient town Yelip'd Brechinia; or where Vaga's stream Encircles Ariconium, fruitful soil Whence flow nectareous wines, that well may vie
With Massic, Setin, or renown'd Falern. Thus, while my joyless minutes tedious flow,
With looks demure, and silent pace, a Dun, Horrible monster! hated by gods and men, To my ariel citadel ascends: With vocal heel thrice thund'ring at my gates, With hideous ascent thrice he calls; I know The voice ill-boding, and the solemn sound. What should I do? or whither turn? Amaz'd, Confounded, to the dark recess I fly
Of wood-hole; straight my bristling hair erect Thro' sudden fear; a chilly sweat bedews My shudd'ring limbs, and (wonderful to tell!) My tongue forgets her faculty of speech; So horrible he seems! His faded brow Entrench'd with many a frown, and conic beard,
And spreading band, admir'd by modern saints, Disastrous acts forbode; in his right hand Long scrolls of paper solemnly he waves, With characters and figures dire inscrib'd, Grievous to mortal eyes; (ye gods avert Such plagues from righteous men!) Behind him stalks
Another monster, not unlike himself, Sullen of aspect, by the vulgar call'd A Catchpole, whose polluted hands the gods With force incredible, and magic charms, First have cadu'd; if he his ample palm Should haply on ill-fated shoulder lay Of debtor, straight his body, to the touch Obsequious, [as whilom knights were wont] To some enchanted castle is convey'd, Where gates impregnable, & coercive chains, In durance strict detain him, till, in form Of money, Pallas sets the captive free.
Beware, ye debtors! when ye walk beware! Be circumspect; oft with insidious ken This catiff eyes your steps aloof, and oft Lies perdue in a nook or gloomy cave, Prompt to inchant some inadvertent wretch With his unhallow'd touch. So [poets sing] Grimalkin, to domestic vermin sworn
An everlasting foe, with watchful eye Lies nightly brooding o'er o'er a chinky gap. Portending her fell claws to thoughtless mice Sure ruin! So her disembowell'd web Arachne in a hall or kitchen spreads, Obvious to vagrant flies; She secret stands Within her woven cell; the humming prey, Regardless of their fate, rush on the toils Inextricable, nor with aught avail Their arts, or arms, or shapes of lovely hue. The wasp insidious, and the buzzing drone, And butterfly proud of expanded wings Distinct with gold, entangled in her snares, Useless resistance makes; with eager strides, She tow'ring flies to her expected Spoils; Then with eavenom'd jaws the vital blood Drinks of reluctant foes, and to her cave Their bulky carcasses triumphant drags. So pass my days. But, when nocturnal shades
This world invelope, and th' inclement air Persuades men to repel benumbing frosts With pleasant wines, and crackling blaze of wood;
Me lonely sitting, nor the glimmering light Of make-weight candle, nor the joyous talk Of loving friend, delights; distress'd, forlorn Amidst the horrors of the tedious night, Darkling I sigh, and feed with dismal thoughts My anxious mind; or sometimes mournful verse
Indite, and sing of groves and myrtle shades, Or desperate lady near a purling stream, Or lover pendent on a willow tree.
Meanwhile, I labor with eternal drought, And restless wish and rave; my parched throat Finds no relief, nor heavy eyes repose; But if a slumber haply does invade My weary limbs, my fancy's still awake, Thoughtful of drink, and eager, in a dream, Tipples imaginary pots of ale, In vain—awake, I find the settled thirst Still gnawing, and the pleasant phantom curse.
Thus do I live, from pleasure quite debarr'd Nor taste the fruits that the sun's genial rays Mature, john-apple, nor the downy peach, Nor walnut in rough-furrow'd coat secure, Nor mellow fruit delicious in decay. Afflictions great! yet greater still remain: My galligaskins that have long withstood The winter's fury, and encroaching frosts, By time subdu'd, what will not time subdue! An horrid chasm disclose, with orifice
Wide, discontinuous; at which the winds, Eurus and Auster, and the dreadful force Of Boreas, that congeal the Cronian waves, Tumultuous enter with dire chilling blasts, Portending Agues. Thus a well fraught ship, Long sail'd secure, or through th' Ægean deep Or the Ionian, till cruising near
The Lilybean shore, with hideous crush On Scylla, or Charibdis,—dang'rous rocks— She strikes rebounding; whence the shattered oak So fierce a shock unable to withstand, Admits the sea: In at the gaping side
The crouding waves gush with impetuous rage Resistless, overwhelming! Horrors seize The mariners; death in their eyes appears; They stare, they lave, they pump, they swear, they pray:
Vain efforts! still the battering waves rush in, Implacable; till, delug'd by the foam, The ship sinks found'ring in the vast abyss.
LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
LONDON,
Monday, Sept. 29, 1806.
Arrival of a Messenger from France
At one o'clock this morning a messenger arrived in town with dispatches from Lord Lauderdale.
The important intelligence of an accommodation with Prussia, which we exclusively announced on Saturday, was officially confirmed in the Gazette of that evening. The blockade of the Prussian ports and rivers in the German Ocean is ordered to be discontinued. As the final adjustment of the difference between the two countries is yet to be arranged, we shall not hazard a premature opinion as to the conditions of this preliminary proceeding. We may, however, presume that the obnoxious order issued by the court of Berlin, in mean obedience to the mandate of Bonaparte, has been retracted, and that the Prussian ports will be opened as usual to British produce and manufactures.—With respect to Hanover, it is said that Prussia has agreed to restore it to its legitimate sovereign, and to protect it during the continuance of hostilities between G. Britain and France. We trust that some such arrangement for the protection of that unfortunate country has been agreed upon; for we should consider its immediate restoration this instant, as one of the very greatest calamities that could befall it.—The moment the Prussians marched out of it, thousands of hungry and irritated Frenchmen would march in; and the country would feel ten times the oppression it has before experienced from Bonaparte's army of execution.
The complete re-establishment of the customary relations between Prussia and this country cannot be a work of much time or negotiation. Lord Morpeth, we
understand, set off last night for Yarmouth, where a frigate was in waiting to take him to the Elbe, from whence he is to proceed by Hamburg to Berlin. A very few interviews between his lordship and the Prussian minister will be sufficient to bring the dispute to that termination to which it is equally the interest, and the wish of both nations that it should arrive.
The number of ships fitting out for Buenos Ayres is almost incredible. Early this week, several are expected to sail: one or two ships have already, however, experienced the benefit of this newly acquired trade. As two British ships were proceeding to the East Indies, sometime ago, laden with naval stores and articles of merchandise, such as were most wanted in that country, it is said they fell in with the expedition under the command of general Beresford, on its way to Buenos Ayres, which they were prevailed upon to accompany, under the persuasion that it would turn out an excellent speculation, provided the attack succeeded. One of those ships has already returned an account of her profits, amounting to 250 per cent.
Two Hamburgh mails arrived this morning—the one due on Sunday se'nnight, and that due last Wednesday.
Hostilities are expected to commence immediately between Prussia and France. The Silesian army, 30,000 strong, under Hohenlohe, crossed the Elbe, on the 11th, near Dresden. Other divisions are passing through Dresden daily. The French are drawing towards Bareuth and Coburg, where the first blow will in all probability be struck.
A Russian army of 130,000 men is entering Silesia.
The Arch-duke Charles has by his talents and assiduity, placed the Austrian army on the most respectable footing. All the regiments are complete and the magazines filled. The principal magazines are at Brunn, and Radwies.
Catano is still in the hands of the Russians, who have refused to deliver it up to the Austrians.
It was not only Palm, the book seller that was tried at Brannau, but other booksellers—there were six accused; but only two were present at the trial; Palm from Nurembergh, and Schorer, from Dona-werth; the four not taken were, Warkel, of Wirtemberg, Jerisch, of Augsburg, Kupser of Vienna, and Henrick of Linz. The four later were condemned for contumacy; and Palm and Schorer were ordered to be shot.
Our readers will not fail to remark the daring insolence of trying by a French military commission, a bookseller of Vienna, and one of Linz, subjects of the emperor of Austria!
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
FRANKFORT, [Keo] Nov. 8.
Motion in the Federal Court of the Kentucky District, against AARON BURR, Esq. late vice-president of the United States, for Crimes of High Misdemeanors.
On Wednesday, about noon, on the 5th instant, J. H. Daviess, Esq. Attorney of the United States for the above district, rose and addressing the Court, said that he had a motion to make of the utmost magnitude, and extraordinary nature, and which regarded the welfare of the Union at large. That the unhappy state of his health alone, had prevented him from making it on the first day of the term. That he should ground his motion on an affidavit, which he would present to the Court.—He made the oath to the following affidavit.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Kentucky District, set.
J. H. Daviess, attorney for the said U. States, in and for said district, upon his corporal oath, doth depose and say, that the deponent is informed and doth verily believe, that a certain Aaron Burr, esq. late vice-president of the said U. States, for several months past, hath been and is now engaged in preparing, and setting on foot, and in providing and preparing the means for a military expedition and enterprize within this district, for the purpose of descending the Ohio and Mississippi therewith, and making war upon the subjects of the king of Spain, who are in a state of peace with the people of these U. States. To wit: on the provinces of Mexico, on the westwardly side of Louisiana, which appertain and belong to the king of Spain, an European prince, with whom these U. S. are at peace.
And said deponent further saith, that he is informed, and fully believes, that the a-
bove charge can be, and will be fully substantiated by evidence, provided this honorable court will grant compulsory process to bring in witnesses to testify thereto.
And the deponent further saith that he is informed, and verily believes, that the agents and emissaries of the said Burr, have purchased up, and are continuing to purchase large stores of provisions, as it for an army; which the said Burr seems to conceal in great mystery from the people at large, his purposes and projects; while the minds of the good people of this district, seem agitated with the current rumor that a military expedition against some neighboring power, is preparing by said Burr.
Wherefore, said attorney, on behalf of the United States, pray, that due process issue to compel the personal appearance of the said Aaron Burr, in this court; and also of such witnesses as may be necessary on behalf of the said United States; and that this honorable court, will duly recognize the said Aaron Burr, to answer such charges as may be preferred against him in the premises; and in the mean time, that he desist and refrain from all further preparation and proceeding in the said matter within the said United States, or the territories or dependencies thereof.
J. H. DAVIESS, A. U. S.
Having read this affidavit the attorney proceeded in the following words:
The present subject has much engaged my mind. The case made out is only as to the expedition against Mexico; but I have information on which I can rely, that all the western territories are the next object of the scheme; and finally, all the region of the Ohio is calculated as falling into the vortex of the new proposed revolution. What the practicality of this scheme is, I will not say; but certainly any progress in it, might cost our country much blood and treasure to undo; and, at the least great public agitation must be expected.
I am determined to use every effort in my power, as an officer and as a man to prevent and defeat it.
Having made the affidavit myself, I shall make no comments on its sufficiency.
In cases of felony the affidavit must be positive as to a felony actually committed; but in a misdemeanor of this nature, where the sole object of the law is prevention, such an oath cannot be required: the thing must rest on belief as to the main point of guilt.
I could easily prove positively the purchase of supplies of various kinds, but this is no offence. Mr. Burr may purchase supplies—he may import arms—he may engage men, which I am told is actually begun—yet all these things being proved make no offence; neither can proof of the declarations of his known confidants, of which abundance might be had, attach guilt to him—it is the design, the intent with which he makes these preparations, that constitute his misdemeanor.
There must be a great exertion of supposition to imagine a case in which positive proof of the illegal design can be had—it must rest in information and belief.
The court ought therefore to issue a warrant or capias for the accused, and examine witnesses; when the court will be able to decide whether Mr. Burr should be bound to good behavior on the premises, or recognized to appear here and answer an indictment.
His honor judge Innes declined on account of the importance of the question, to give an opinion without taking time for consideration. This opinion he did not deliver until this morning about eleven, which opinion went to overrule the motion of the attorney for the United States, on the grounds,
1st. That the court was not invested with power 2d. If the court were, that the evidence was not sufficient.
The attorney then moved for a warrant, to summon a grand jury, before whom he was to prefer an indictment against col. Burr. This the court immediately granted; and a warrant was given to colonel Crockett, the marshal of the district for that purpose. The judge ordered his opinion to be entered on the record. A copy of it, therefore, shall be obtained and published in an extra half sheet in the beginning of the week, with the farther proceedings of the court on this important question.
1 o'clock. After the names of the grand jury were called, colonel Burr entered, attended by H. Clay, esq. as his counsel, and after having seated himself a few minutes, rose and addressed the court in concise and impressive terms. He stated that he had been upon the eve of his departure from Lexington, when he was informed

that his name had been mentioned with reproach in the court; that he made it his business to hasten to this place, and present himself before the court for investigation, with several other observations which we shall publish at length in our next. At present we can only say that the grand jury were ordered to attend on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock.
PHILADELPHIA, November 27. Yesterday arrived the schooner Evander, Sturges, 18 days from St. Thomas: Captain S. informs, that it was reported at that place previous to his departure, that three French ships of the line had got into Mar-tinique, after having had an engagement with a British squadron, in which the French had lost four of their consorts, having on board 1000 troops. Further particulars were not known.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29. REVOLUTION IN HAYTI AND MURDER OF DESSALINES.
We have been favored with the following particulars relating to the Revolution in Hayti, and murder of the black emperor. "That a party of French and Spanish dragoons from the city of St. Domingo, had made an incursion into the dominions of Dessalines as far as Monte Christi, and there attacked and defeated a small army under the command of Gen. Capeau, and nearly destroyed the whole. Dessalines hearing of this disaster, set out from his castle for the purpose of seeing Capeau, whom he met on the road & immediately ordered him to be shot, attributing his misfortune to design: that he then set out for Port de Paix, for the purpose of causing all the mulattoes in that place to be murdered, and after perpetrating his murderous intentions, and while on his way to his castle, the army became mutinous and stated to him, that they had been three years in his service, but had received neither money or clothing, and that they must now have both; he offered them four dollars a man, this they peremptorily refused to receive, he left them and proceeded to his castle; While there he received a letter from one of his generals, named Braave, stating that the people would no longer obey his orders and were about rising. Dessalines directed him to cause every man who refused to obey to be shot—Braave returned for answer, if he wished that done he must do it himself. This reply so irritated him he immediately set out for the encampment, and when arrived in sight of it he observed the troops drawn up, with bands of music playing, which he took for demonstrations of joy at his approach, and accordingly left his carriage and mounted on horseback, that he might show himself the better—immediately on his arrival in front of the line, Braave rode up to him and desired him to dismount, to which he sternly replied. "You do not know me sir!" the answer was, "Yes I do, too well!" on which Dessalines drew his pistols and fired, but missed him, and jumping off his horse, ran into a cane patch, followed by the troops, where he fell on his belly and they plunged their bayonets thro' his body and pinned him to the earth! Christophe was then immediately proclaimed Governor and Commander in Chief over the island, and every thing went on tranquilly.
It is confidently stated, that the French minister at Washington has intimated to our executive, that the rescinding of the St. Domingo law would not be displeasing to him or his court. The reason alleged for this condescension is that, since the passage of the interditory statute, the trade has fallen entirely into the hands of British adventurers; who are generally so well armed as to bid defiance to the French privateers! [Phil. True Am.]
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Shelbyville (Ken.) to his friend near Winchester, dated October 22d, 1806. "Our state has been in considerable agitation for some time past, owing to the arrival of colonel Burr. He has been for some time travelling secretly through the state, and appears as if he was constantly on express. There are also a number of his friends from New-York, and different parts of the United States, travelling about in the same manner. There are many conjectures as to their intentions and business; some say that a division of the union (the Alleghany mountain to be the line) is their object; others say, that they intend an expedition against the Spaniards
in Louisiana; but the more general, and I believe, the most correct opinion is, that they are planning an expedition against the Spanish mines, and provinces of Santa Fe and Mexico. This much is certain, that colonel Burr and his friends, as also many of our most influential characters here, are for whole days together shut up in close rooms, and no persons but those of their own party can tell what their conferences are about; that provisions of every description are purchasing in every part of the state, sufficient for an army of twenty thousand men. On the Ohio and Kentucky rivers a number of vessels of various descriptions are building in great haste; two brigs and several barges will be completed in a very short time.
"Burr has with him some of the most wealthy men in the United States; their drafts are principally on New York; they have received very considerable sums in this state on their drafts; some of them are on Ogden and Smith, who made so much ado about Miranda; some think the expeditions are connected, as the same characters are mentioned in both; it is said they have drawn to the amount of from 1 to 200,000 dollars.
"I have myself undertaken to purchase for the company pork, beef and flour, to any amount that can be procured, and the money paid in advance; if I could getten thousand dollars worth so much the better they would like it. Since Burr's appearance in the western country, several publications have appeared in our papers, that tend to corroborate the above opinion.
"There is also considerable talk of a war with Spain; we had the news, a few days ago, that a battle had actually been fought between the Spanish troops and the American army at or near Natchitoches; how true this is I cannot say."

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas information has been received that sundry persons, citizens of the United States, or residents within the same, are conspiring and confederating together to begin and set on foot, provide and prepare, the means for a military expedition or enterprize against the dominions of Spain, that for this purpose they are fitting out and arming vessels in the western waters of the United States, collecting provisions, arms, military stores, and other means, are deceiving and seducing honest and well meaning citizens under various pretences to engage in their criminal enterprizes, are organizing, officering and arming themselves for the same, contrary to the laws in such cases made and provided; I have therefore thought fit to issue this my Proclamation, warning and enjoining all faithful citizens who have been led without due knowledge or consideration to participate in the said unlawful enterprizes, to withdraw from the same without delay; and commanding all persons whatsoever, engaged or concerned in the same, to cease all further proceedings therein, as they will answer the contrary at their peril, and incur prosecution with all the rigors of the law. And I hereby enjoin and require all officers, civil and military, of the United States, or any of the states or territories, and especially all governors, and other executive authorities, all judges, justices and other officers of the peace, all military officers of the army or navy of the U. States, and officers of the militia, to be vigilant each within his respective department, and according to his functions, in searching out and bringing to condign punishment, all persons engaged, or concerned in such enterprize, in seizing and detaining, subject to the dispositions of the law, all vessels, arms, military stores or other means provided or providing for the same, and in general, in preventing the carrying on such expedition or enterprize, by all the lawful means, within their power: and I require all good and faithful citizens, and others within the United States, to be aiding and assisting therein, and especially in the discovery, apprehension and bringing to justice of all such offenders, in preventing the execution of their unlawful designs, and in giving information against them to the proper authorities.
In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the United States to be
affixed to these presents, and have signed the same with my hand. Given at the city of Washington on the twenty-seventh day of November, one thousand eight hundred and six, and in the year of the sovereignty and independence of the U. States the thirty-first.

For the ALEXANDRIA ADVERTISER.
ON the twenty-eighth of June, Buenos Ayres* surrendered to the British. They have promised to the inhabitants of the town and its dependencies the enjoyment of their civil and religious rights, and of their property both on land and sea. They have granted to them a free trade with all the friends of Great Britain. This may be regarded as the first effect of a plan of operations which sound policy long since dictated to the British. Their having permitted the Spaniards to remain until this time in undisturbed possession of their rich and almost defenceless colonies, is a proof either of great political blindness, or of a moderation unexampled in the history of nations. Not that the colonies have ever rendered Spain more formidable to her enemies. This I would by no means insinuate: but the treasures derived from those colonies have passed into the coffers of other enemies of Britain who knew how to give them their full force and efficacy. But now when all the motives which could ever have induced Great Britain to take possession of the Spanish settlements in South America exist in full force—when other motives still stronger are added—she will not, she cannot hesitate as to the line of conduct which she ought to pursue.
In the first place she beholds herself excluded from almost all the ports in the south of Europe, and many in the north have been recently closed against her. From the mouth of the Elbe to Cape Finisterre she is welcomed, when she presents herself, by the thunder of hostile cannon. The wavering politics of the Grand Signior threaten soon to exclude her from the ports of his empire, and then the trade with the Mediterranean will be reduced almost to nothing. Under such circumstances it is natural that Britain should seek new vents for her manufactures, upon which her prosperity so much depends. As she is excluded from the trade of the old world, sound policy points out the necessity of opening a communication with the new. She can only do this by depriving Spain of her colonies.
But she has a motive still stronger than the one I have mentioned: She is engaged in hostilities with an implacable foe who has sworn her destruction, and who regards not the means which lead to the accomplishment of his purpose. She wages war against Napoleon, emperor of France, king of Italy, protector of Holland and of the confederation of the Rhine: With Napoleon, who governs Spain as he will—who exacts contributions from Portugal—who sends orders to Berlin—who has humbled Austria to the dust, and overturned the German empire. Such is the man with whom she has to contend. And shall she tamely sit still and see the treasures of South America continually adding new strength to an enemy already so formidable? if she does, she is blind indeed.
Her navy, every where triumphant, affords her the means of reducing, in twelve months, all the colonies of South America. But how would she immortalize her name if, instead of seizing for herself those rich and extensive countries, she would release them from the yoke of Spain, and confer upon them that liberty which is the birth right of man, she would in some measure atone for the cruelties she has exercised upon the helpless natives of the East, if she would restore to those of the West the freedom and happiness which they once enjoyed. Let me not be told by empty headed politicians, that the inhabitants of South America are incapable of enjoying the blessings of liberty; that despotism has corrupted them, and rendered them unworthy of receiving so noble a gift: the experiment is, at least, worth a trial. Restore to them independence; let them taste the blessings of liberty, and if they are found, upon trial, incapable of organizing, or fit to live under, a free government, let them chuse any other which may suit their taste. The yoke of a native prince is undoubtedly much lighter than that of a foreigner.
* Buenos Ayres is the capital of the rich province of La Plata, in South America. It is situated 50 miles from the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, lat. 36 10, long. 60 5, W. † The ports of Prussia.
reign despot; and a nation is much more likely to become civilized and enlightened when it enjoys free intercourse with all the nations of the earth, than when restricted by its proud and imperious master to a limited communication with a single people. In a word, Britain might cover herself with glory, without subjecting herself to the smallest loss. The public property found in the colonies would amply repay the expense of enfranchising them, and their eternal gratitude would be a recompense still more pleasing to a noble mind.
But it may be asked, would Britain be justifiable in depriving Spain of her immense possessions in South America, when it is known that nothing but the imperious mandate of Bonaparte has dragged her into the war? I answer, that in the present situation of things, when her very existence is at stake, she is bound by the law of self preservation to close all the sources from which her enemy may derive means of annoying her. And though such conduct, as it regards Spain only, may not seem consistent with generosity, yet it is evidently justified by the law of nations. But if we view the subject as it regards the colonies, the immense advantages which liberty would confer upon them must silence at once all objections, and put an end to the cavils of over scrupulous politicians.
Let us now enquire whether such an event would be productive of all those evils to Spain which a superficial view of the subject would induce us to suppose. What advantage then, in the first place, has she ever derived from her colonies? Shortly after the discovery of America, and when its richest kingdoms were yet untouched by the cruel and rapacious Spaniards, none of the kingdoms of Europe were more respected than Spain. She had assumed a commanding attitude; insomuch, that when Charles, archduke of Austria, ascended the Spanish throne, all Europe trembled. When the treasures of America flowed by so many channels into her European dominions, did she long retain that pre-eminence? No. She became suddenly the richest state in Europe, but her riches were bane. Yes! Unhappy natives of America, though you had not risen to defend yourselves, the gold taken from you by cruel and rapacious bands, in some measure avenged innocent possessors, by bringing ruin upon those who waded through blood in its acquisition.
We have seen the power of Spain dwindle to nothing, while her treasures have increased: we have seen her so destitute of spirit as to submit to the conditions imposed on her by an enemy, after the loss of a single battle; in short, we see her now the mere satellite of France.
To what are we to attribute this astonishing degeneracy? To those fatal treasures which have deprived her of industry, of energy, and of courage—to those colonies which have depopulated and almost turned into a desert the fairest portion of Europe. Deprive her of her colonies and she will arouse from the torpor which has so long oppressed her. Necessity will make her subjects active, industrious and enterprising. No longer tempted to desert the mother country by lucrative appointments or the hope of enormous gain in America, they will make the most of those advantages which nature has profusely lavished upon their native soil. Then, and not till then, will Spain recover the rank which she once held among the nations of Europe.
A PHILANTHROPIST.
It were superfluous to attempt the proof of a proposition so plain, but those who are in doubt may consult the third book of Vattel's Law of Nations, where they will find proofs in abundance of the truth of my assertion.

(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tiffol's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place 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, Spasms, Gleet, 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 always 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 most 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 destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, 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 Ridgely, 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 Dobbins 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.

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 was recommended to apply at George Dobbins 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.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
ON the night of Tuesday the 14th instant, a negro man, named BEN , the property of the subscriber, broke the jail of Prince George's county, where he had been put for security, and made his escape; in his elopement he was accompanied by a white man of the name of EARL , who had been committed for robbery. Each said he was a sea-faring man, a native of Philadelphia, that his father had been sailing master of the United States ship Congress , whilst under the command of Captain Decatur , and is now commodore of the gun boats stationed off New-Orleans. He is about 5 feet 10 inches high, slender made, about 24 or 25 years old, and has light brown or sandy colored hair. I think it is probable he may carry BEN with him and pass him as his slave until he has an opportunity of selling him. Whilst in jail Earl's clothing was a blue India cotton seaman's jacket, and trousers of the same. Ben is a shoemaker and gardener by trade, he is also a tanner, and can be a very expert house servant—he is about 38 years of age, and from 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches high, stout and square built, has very woolly hair, red eyes, flat nose, and a black complexion—he is a fellow of considerable address and great plausibility, disposed to be rather pert and impudent, especially when intoxicated, but is easily reduced to submission.
I will give a reward of Thirty Dollars to any person who will secure him in any jail so that I may get him again, or to any person who will apprehend him and bring him to me. I will give a reward as follows: if taken 100 miles or upwards from home I will give 50 dollars, if taken from 40 to 100 miles from home I will give 40 dollars, or if taken within 40 miles of this place I will give 30 dollars, besides defraying reasonable expences in bringing him home.
All masters of vessels and others are hereby forewarned from harboring, employing or carrying off said Negroes , as I will prosecute whoever shall do so with the utmost rigor of law.
