FRENCH LANGUAGE. A GENTLEMAN, who has devoted a considerable part of his time to the study of foreign languages and the manner in which they may be taught with most advantage, is desirous to give Lessons in French, which, being now considered as a necessary branch of polite education, he flatters himself to meet with sufficient encouragement—and the method of teaching which he means to adopt, (being that of Mr. N. Dufil, so generally approved of) added to a strict attention to a clear and proper pronunciation, will enable his pupils to acquire the language in a shorter time, than that which has hitherto been in use—of which a little experience will prove the truth of his assertion. As his family lives a short distance from Alexandria, he intends to remove to the town as soon as he finds a prospect to defray the expenses of house-keeping, and invites there those who wish to be instructed to make their applications, the sooner the better, to Mr. GENERES, who will give the necessary information. A. B. He likewise proposes to teach the Spanish and German Languages, should any scholars offer. January 17. d

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801. "The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804. "We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.

In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

LONDON, November 20.
THE STATE OF FRANCE.
It is scarcely possible for the mind to conceive a more wretched state of affairs than that in which France is, according to the report of the French minister of the interior. While Germany crouches at the feet of France; while Russia is in her toils, and Austria dares not raise a finger in hostility against her; while Italy owns her yoke, and Switzerland expects every moment the death warrant for her execution; while all seem brilliant without , every thing within is in the greatest misery and distress—her ports without activity, her manufactures without employ, her merchants ruined. In proof of this, we need not have recourse to the statements of travellers, or to writers that are hostile to France. We have the proof from the confession of the French minister of the interior; we have it from the French government itself. Let any one compare this report with the report or exposition of last year, and they will find that not one of the promises held out then have been fulfilled. Ameliorations are always to take place, and that they never do take place. A year has elapsed, during which the effects of that commercial interdict which Bonaparte has adopted were to be severely felt by us—But what has been the fact? that they have been felt alone by France, and that our revenue and our commerce have increased during that period! What a picture, we have said, of the state of France does this report draw? Examine its features—there is not one that does not betray the paleness, the wretchedness and the squalor of poverty. Great Britain has drawn a line of circumvallation around her, and shut her out from commerce or communication with three-fourths of the world. "All our naval relations are at an end, our merchants, manufacturers, and consumers are exposed to dreadful sufferings—sufferings which are now habitual to them—there is no remedy but patience and resignation to them." This is the substance, they are almost the very expressions of the minister's report. Nothing remains for industry to have recourse to but agriculture. But what will agriculture do for those who have no market, who cannot export? The encouragement to sow must arise from the knowledge that the person who sows can sell. Bonaparte gives them no market, no export trade, and agriculture cannot be flourishing. It is evident that it is not—that it is in distress. A lure, however, is thrown out to the farmer—he is promised "a project of the greatest utility, which is indispensably necessary to the prosperity of agriculture, and is closely interwoven with national prosperity." This project is a "rural code." What! is this which is declared to be so vitally necessary, still wanting? wanting to a nation that is depicted as "essentially agricultural?" This is ever the way with Bonaparte—He is always promising to do such great things for the prosperity of France, but never performing. This rural code would, we should have imagined, been the first thing thought of by a government that professes to rule over a nation "essentially agricultural," that had determined to cutoff all commerce whatever. But no, the rural code is yet to come, and not a step has been taken but to call upon different authorities in France to give their advice upon it! But the principal improvement of agriculture is to arise out of a "reorganization of the repositories for the breed of horses!" What mockery and trifling! the principal improvement is to find the farmer a market for his commodity—other improvements will follow of course.
But the state of commerce! Our orders of council, provoked by Bonaparte's decrees, have put a final stop to it—nothing is doing—nothing is expected to be done. "Give yourselves up to your miserable fate—we have ruined you past recovery; rot and go to destruction." Such is the language of the French government. They talk of improvements in the weaving of cotton—but where can they get their cotton to weave? Not a bale can be procured without our permission.—Attempts have been made to cultivate cotton, but it is evident that they have failed. And this distress is not confined to the cotton manufactures; it extends to every other branch of commerce and manufactures, for who will cultivate and make what he cannot sell? Formerly, whilst Germany was open to us, France could sell her manufactures, because the Germans got rich by their commerce with us: But the Germans are struck with the same interdict as France, and have no money to buy the commodities that France
can sell. So nearly approaching to starvation are all the French manufacturers, that the government have been forced to do out some small sums to the merchants, who cannot sell the produce they have on hand. Can there be any greater proof than this of the distresses in which they are involved? The French government are forced to give a kind of parish pauper relief to their merchants and manufacturers, to save them from wanting a morsel of bread. A precious proof of the prosperity that has followed Buonaparte's administration. From the state of commerce and agriculture, the report proceeds to a view of the finances. Here the minister, who had been so minute as to recount to us the establishment of manufactures, and of a repository for the breed of horses, looses himself in generalities, and carefully avoids giving any facts. But the very boast he uses on this occasion, to our minds additional evidence of the distress in which the country is involved. Loans and paper money form no part of the French system. For a very good reason, because their credit is not strong enough to raise money by loans, or to secure circulation for paper money. No country of great wealth, of indispensable credit, can raise money by loans, or circulate paper money. Ask a merchant whether his inability to raise loans or get bills taken, is a proof of his credit? The boast of the French government is about strong a proof of prosperity, as the bankruptcy afforded, who, when he found nobody would lend him a shilling or take his notes, cried out, "thank Heaven I have done without borrowing money and issuing bills." With the French government boast that they have not recourse to loans or paper money, that is, that they cannot, let us ever be bold to say, that when our government wants money, every one is willing to lend it any amount, at less than five per cent interest and that all persons are as ready to take our paper money as to take specie.
A volume of observations more might be written upon this report, this picture of distressed state of France; but we shall confine ourselves to two more remarks. Buonaparte begins again to talk of sending a large army to Boulogne, and tells us, "that the Boulogne flotilla is still in readiness to undertake the operations for which it was intended." His object no doubt is to frighten us with the idea of invasion, that we may not send more troops abroad to the assistance of Spain and Portugal.

NEW YORK, January 21.
Yesterday morning arrived the dispatch brig Hamlet, capt. Rice, from Rio Janeiro and St. Salvador, 53 days from the latter place, with dispatches for government from Henry Hill, Esq. our Consul at St. Salvador. No American vessel at either place. There were about eighty sail of British merchantmen at Rio Janeiro, loading for different ports in England: and capt. Rice spoke two days after he sailed, a fleet of about 20 more bound in. Mr. Hill was received with the greatest respect by the Prince Regent of Portugal, whose ports, he said, were open to American vessels. Sir Sidney Smith was still at Rio Janeiro with six sail of the line.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25.
A gentleman, just arrived from Montreal, informs us, "that business is very flourishing at that place; that about 300 ships arrived there daily from Vermont, with produce; that pork, which had been sold for 9 and 10 cents, had fallen to 8 cents; that ashes were quick at 200 dollars per ton; that cash was paid for produce; but that it was partly again invested in salt and other articles of foreign growth."
[Boston paper.]
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Orleans, dated November 30, to his friend in New Brunswick, (N. J.)
"During the last week a cause was before the Superior Court of this Territory, between the U. S. and a Frenchman. The object of the suit was to remove, by hook or crook, certain buildings which stand in one of the streets of this city, near which the corporation is erecting a new market. Judge Workman was concerned for the defendant, and in the course of his argument took the liberty of saying that now days there were several ways of robbing citizens of their property, particularly by the use of the public; sometimes by process of law, and sometimes by force and some times by the improper interference of the executive; (alluding to the famous case of Edward Livingston's property, which had been taken from him by order of the Presi-

This was considered as an attack on the Great Man of our nation, (Mr. J.) by all those who have received offices from him; and immediately a Mr. Grymes, who is the district attorney, entered the lists against Workman, and asserted, that it was well known fact, that the gentlemen concerned for the defendant were disaffected and hostile to the government, and were therefore anxious to stir up the people by such kind of assertions and insinuations.— Judge Lewis who presided stopt Grymes, but that alone could not satisfy Workman, who considered himself as directly pointed and attacked by Grymes. He immediately rose and said that the assertion was a falsehood; whereupon, issue being joined on this point, an appeal was made—not to the court nor to the people—but to a kind of printer's revenge: for immediately counsel Grymes threw two inkstands, filled with the fatal liquid, at Workman, who dodged and saved his head, but the ink was scattered over all the lawyers, even those who are proteges of the President. Judge Lewis then interposed, and bound the two gentlemen to appear the next morning, to shew cause why an attachment should not issue, &c. [Before the meeting of the court the next morning, Workman challenged Grymes to meet him, armed capapee, to settle the dispute according to the rules of chivalry, which is in fact the common law of this country: Grymes declined the combat, saying that he could not think Workman was entitled to a gentleman's satisfaction.]
Ten o'clock the court met: present as before. Workman appeared and read a written speech, which was a very handsome apology for his conduct, particularly as regarded any contempt of court: but his honor, after complimenting him on his correct general conduct, told him he must go and live with the sheriff, in the Calabouse, eight hours, and pay a fine of twenty-five dollars. Workman retired to his penance. In about an hour after, Grymes appeared, and by his counsel applied to the court to have interrogatories filed, as he intended to purge himself of all contempt, by swearing he did not intend to offend. The judge told him, that such proceeding was not necessary in a case where the contempt was committed under the eye of the court, who in such cases were fully informed of the facts, and could judge of intentions. Now Grymes intended only to put the evil day afar off, as the court was to adjourn on that day, and the judge was determined to shop him natus batus . His honor, therefore, after a half an hundred apologies, told Grymes that he also must tarry eight hours in prison and pay twenty-five dollars. Grymes begged him in a most moving speech, that the record should be blackened by a statement of the whole shameful business, in order that his friends, his countrymen, and his government, whom he represented, (he might have said, misrepresented,) might know all the circumstances, and judge with propriety of his conduct. The judge refused, and told Grymes to get him to the prison; and off the little fellow went.
"Now, you must know people thought Grymes deserved much more punishment than Workman, but Grymes was an officer appointed by the government, and that weighed much with a man who has been made great by the same process. Thus ended the affair, coram judice ."

Mr. Macon from the committee on the public lands, reported a bill respecting the claims of lands in the Mississippi territory, under grants from the British government of West Florida. Referred to a committee of the whole on Thursday next.  The house went into committee of the whole on the bill providing for the increase of the military establishment. The bill contemplates the raising of 50,000 volunteers.
On the motion of Mr. Nelson, the first blank was so filled as to limit the term of service to two years.
The committee rose and reported the bill with the amendments.
The house immediately took up the report, and after some observations in opposition to the bill, from Mr. Milnor, the question on engrossing the bill for a third reading, was taken by yeas and nays, and carried ayes 72, noes 45.
On the motion that the bill be ordered for a third reading to-morrow,
Mr. D. R. Williams wished that it might be postponed until the course which was to be pursued should be determined.— He alluded to a declaration to made some days since by Mr. Bacon, that he would bring forward a motion for the repeal of the embargo, at a certain period. Mr. Williams wished to have that question settled before this additional force should be voted.
Mr. Nelson could not consent to a postponement. He thought the country ought to be put into an immediate state of defence, and it would be unwise to repeal the embargo until that was done. He apprehended no danger to the liberties of the people from the increased force of the United States. From what he had seen of the militia, he did not believe them sufficiently disciplined to be so immediately effective.
Col. Talimadge thought the bill of more importance in respect to the interests of the people, than the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Nelson) seemed to imagine. He therefore moved that it should be ordered to a third reading on this day week, that gentlemen might have time to consider the bill in all its bearings.
Mr. Bacon wished for an intermediate period. He said that he should not shrink from the duty which he had assigned himself, in bringing forward a resolution for the repeal of the embargo at no distant period.
Mr. Desha moved that the bill be read a third time on Thursday next.
Mr. D. R. Williams thought if war measures were resolved upon, the nation should know it. If war was the object of the present bill it was deceiving the people.
Mr. Nelson made some remarks in support of the bill, and of a third reading to-morrow.
Mr. Lyon wished the longest period named might prevail. He wanted time to look over a book of speeches, in which he found certain principles in direct hostility to the present bill, maintained by the gentleman who now fills the chair, and the celebrated personage who is at present at the head of the treasury. He wanted to shew the republicans what they themselves had said upon the subject. He called these men time servers , whose principles altered to suit the times.
Mr. Nicholas supported the bill, not on the ground of its contemplating the raising of more militia or volunteers, but as an army of defence.
Mr. Gardenier moved that the third reading of the bill should be postponed until the 22d of February next. Mr. G. took a wide view, in a speech of about an hour, of the affairs of the country, and of the present system of measures, and hoped that gentlemen, if they would not consent to go back, would at least consent to make a short pause, and allow time to have a complete knowledge of the situation of the nation before they should pass the present bill.
Mr. Macon replied at length to Mr. Gardenier, defending the embargo and the other measures of the government.
Mr. J. G. Jackson also spoke at length in reply to Mr. Gardenier.
The question was then taken by ayes and noes, on the motion of Mr. Gardenier and lost—ayes 16, noes 51.
The question was then put on the third reading on "Monday," and lost.
The bill was then ordered to a third reading on Wednesday, and the house adjourned.
The hon. Benjamin Lincoln, Collector, and Benjamin Weld, Deputy Collector, of the Customs, of this Port, have resigned their respective offices.— Boston Centinel
The reasons assigned by these gentlemen, for their sudden retirement from office, are not distinctly known; but we feel no hesitation in offering our belief, that they have arisen from a repugnance to the oppressive laws which they were called upon to enforce against their fellow citizens; and that to avoid the degrading infamy of executing them, they have thus patriotically and magnanimously given up their commissions, and with them the income of two of the most lucrative offices under government.
COMMUNICATION.  The following sketch of the times appeared in print about three or four years since. It is
was applicable then, it is much more so at the present day. By inserting it in the Herald you will oblige a subscriber.
{ Connecticut Herald.    The President sticks at  nothing.    Congress have done worse than  nothing.    The treasury is full of  nothing.    Honor and honesty are esteemed  nothing.    as  nothing.    Rogues and villains thrive with  nothing.    The judiciary is reduced to  nothing.    The navy is crumbling to  nothing.    God made every thing out of  nothing.    God grant we are not reduced to  nothing.    The President rules  all.    Gallatin contrives  all.    Virginia grasps at  all.    The small states pay  all.    France plunders  all.    Trade and commerce suffer  all.    Honest men are obliged to bear  all.    Democrats get  all.    If God has no pity on  all.    The Devil will take  all.  
SALT AND IRON.
In case of war or non-intercourse, the supply of these articles, of extensive and indispensable necessity, ought to be provided for by every means, which prudence and foresight can bring into operation.— The former has attracted the notice of the general legislature. As it cannot be produced in sufficient abundance at present, by domestic industry and capital, the stern system of embargo will probably be relaxed in order to obtain it; though we are sensible that the intention to renew a duty so productive as that upon salt, must conspire to extort this amelioration from the hard hearts of the majority in congress.
No external gift of heaven to man, exceeds iron in usefulness. It is the instrument for producing most of his comforts and his luxuries. Without it, he could not be formidable in war, nor respectable in peace for the numerous arts, which distinguish civilized society. His sagacity could not, if he was destitute of iron, completely subject to his dominion and render subservient to his use all inferior animals. It may be considered as the ponderous arm, and the delicate hand, by which he moves, modifies, penetrates, and shapes into forms the most useful or the most exquisite, the immense kingdom of inanimate matter.
Yet for this article in its crude or more imperfectly manufactured state we are in some measure indebted to foreign nations. It therefore behoves the state legislatures to encourage its production and manufacture in those sections of our country, where the mineral is to be found, and only awaits the approach of enterprize, to yield an abundant supply.
RETALIATION.
If Eve in her innocence could not be blamed, Because going naked she was not ashamed, Who're views the Ladies as Ladies now dress, That again they grow innocent, sure must confess And that artfully too they retaliate the evil, By the Devil once tempted, they now tempt the Devil.

Valuable Family Medicines.
The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by James Kennedy, sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria.
Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 56 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY , No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
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 destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.
Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
Which there is reason to believe, have, within eight years past cured upwards of two hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from WORMS and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
Hamilton's Elixir,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, Sore Throat and approaching Consumptions.
HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER, An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch without giving pain.

ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common-lap remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, 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 must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their 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 to 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.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially 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.
