ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN AWAY on the evening of the 7th inst. a Bright Mulatto Man named
B O B,
Who calls himself ROBERT THOMAS; About 5 feet 10 inches high, 24 or 25 years of age, has large black eye brows, large full eyes, not very dark, and is a stout well made handsome fellow. His hair is thick, but not quite straight, and he wears it nicely trimmed, combed and ridged on the top. His beard appears very black if suffered to grow for a day or two, but he usually shaves it very closely. He has recently received an injury on the fore finger of the left hand, and has it bound up, and may probably lose the first joint of it. He speaks deliberately, and is more correct in conversation than persons of his color usually are. He walks slowly, is a very good waiter, & delights particularly in attending to horses. He has a variety of cloaths, and took with him one dark green broadcloth coat and pantaloons with yellow buttons, one cloth coat and pantaloons nearly of the same color, but the cloth of inferior quality, with white metal buttons one blue cloth coat much worn, one old brown surcoat with covered buttons, a good hat, and a pair of black top boots. The rest of his apparel I am not able particularly to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and pays great attention to his dress.
As he can read and write very well, he may probably produce a forged authority for him to pass, or procure the certificate of some one of the negroes, who, a few years ago, petitioned by the name of Thomas and obtained their freedom in Maryland. If taken out of the state of Maryland and district of Columbia, and secured in any jail, so that I get him again, the above reward will be given, or sixty dollars if taken and secured within the said state or district; all reasonable expences will also be paid if he should be delivered to me in the city of Washington, or to Dr. Richard Duckett, in Prince George's county, Maryland. He is well acquainted in Annapolis, Baltimore, Geo. Town, and the city of Washington.

Let the people of the United States read the following statement of FACTS with dispassionate attention, and they must pronounce with certainty on the causes that have stagnated their commerce, paralyzed their industry, defeated their hopes, and prostrated the national spirit and independence. [Phil. Reg.]
From the Providence (R.I.) Gazette.
THE PRESIDENT'S COMMUNICATIONS TO CONGRESS.
Many wise men have been of opinion, that parties in a free state are beneficial to the cause of liberty. We shall not stay to discuss the truth or propriety of this maxim, but we are convinced, from history and experience, that wherever a powerful party has exerted its influence to subjugate the country to which it existed, to a foreign power, that country has been overthrown. To prove the truth of this assertion, we need not go farther back than the times of the French revolution. The patriotic parties in Flanders, Holland, Italy, Switzerland, &c. assisted the French in overrunning their respective countries—and their countries are enslaved. Germany was weakened by a French party—and Germany is overthrown. Prussia was neutralized by a French party—and Prussia is no more. The French party among the Spaniards has admitted French armies into Spain; and the fate of Spain is as certain as was that of Africa, when count Boniface admitted Genseric and his Vandals there. Without mentioning other instances, these are sufficient to alarm us respecting the fatal consequences of encouraging a party devoted to France among ourselves; and that the party of Mr. Jefferson is of this description, we shall now attempt to prove by facts which are incontrovertible.
Mr. Jefferson has never taken any pains to conceal his attachment and devotion to France; his letter to Mazzei is one proof among many which might be adduced to prove his attachment. We have also the testimony of Fouchet & Adet, to the same effect. His having been admitted a member of the French national institute, is a circumstance which has great influence, as he would not willingly do any thing which should cause Bonaparte, in a pet , to order his name to be erased from the list. These things are of consequence, because they led Mr. Jefferson to mingle his private prejudices and attachments with our national affairs; and he has, of course, selected men of like passions with himself for the management of our national concerns. His partiality for France, and hatred to England, have been displayed on almost all occasions. Nearly all his messages to congress have been insinuated thereby, insomuch that he could hardly forbear throwing all the blame of the present war on Great Britain. But let us proceed to particulars:
Our citizens have been killed, wounded, imprisoned, and treated with the utmost barbarity, by the French. The Hopewell, captain Sisson, of New York, had 3 men killed, and six wounded, by a French privateer and was carried into Guadeloupe, where the captain and remainder of the crew were imprisoned, and kept on stinking beef and coarse bread. Many scandalous robberies on the high seas took place; some murders, and many arbitrary imprisonments, on the land. A more atrocious robbery never was committed than in the case of the Gorolia , belonging to Messrs. Samuel G. Arnold and Co. of this town. On all these topics Mr. Jefferson was silent.
When we took up arms against Great Britain, her attempts to prevent other nations trading with us were considered as a gross violation of our rights; but when Hispaniola took up arms against France, the French interdicted our trade to that colony. On this subject Mr. Jefferson was not only silent; but he seconded the views of France so far, as at the pressing instance of gen. Turreau, he got a law passed by Congress which entirely prohibited the trade to Hispaniola!
In the message sent to congress, in 1805, the president admitted that he had discovered "a speck of war." He clamored vehemently against the Spaniards, complaining that private armed ships, like pirates, were plundering our property, & committing on our citizens acts of atrocious barbarity: That public armed ships were hovering upon our coasts, and annoying our trade—the Spaniards had invaded our territory, carried off our citizens and their property, obstructed the Mobile, threatened the Mississippi, with other acts of hostility—and although it was known France was at the bottom of all
this, and the principal actor at sea—with respect to France, Mr. Jefferson was silent. Mr. Randolph, however, spoke out, and said, "Why do I talk of Spain?—There exists no such nation—no such being as a Spanish king, or minister.—You know, sir, that you have no differences with Spain—that she is the passive tool of a superior power, to which at this moment you are crouching ." Since Mr. Jefferson has discovered that the Spaniards, are, in effect, the subjects of Bonaparte, we have heard no more complaints; he is silent respecting all their enormities.
He gently informs us, in his message to congress, of the 27th of October last—"our differences with Spain, remain still unsettled, no measure having been taken on her part since my communication to congress, to bring them to a close." From this message we learn that instead of coming "to a close" Spain has issued a decree similar to that of Bonaparte, dated November 21, 1806 which tended to a prohibition of American trade. Of all these acts of hostility Mr. Jefferson only says, "that an expectation is entertained that they may now soon be brought to an issue of some sort." This is philosophical forbearance.
By the 12th article of our treaty with France, the right was guaranteed to us of trading to any port in any country with which France might be at war; but Bonaparte, by his Berlin decree, dated November 21, 1806, declared the British islands in a state of blockade, and prohibited "all commerce and correspondence with them." All trade in British property was prohibited; and even our vessels which had touched in England, were forbidden to enter the ports of Bonaparte and his allies alias slaves. On this most extraordinary subject, Mr. Jefferson, so far as leads to any remonstrance or complaint was silent.
Bonaparte has issued another decree, dated Milan, Dec 17, 1807, by which he condemns every vessel which may touch in England, or be boarded accidentally by a British man of war. This was the most infamous decree that ever was issued in any part of the world, Algiers not excepted; but respecting this decree, Mr. Jefferson is silent.
The men of war sent to sea by Bonaparte have burnt, sunk or destroyed many American vessels; many have been taken and carried into France, Spain, and other countries under the dominion of Bonaparte, when the property is sequestered, to insure a war between us and Great Britain: But with regard to these hostile and alarming measures, Mr. Jefferson is silent.
Bonaparte has declared war between us and Great Britain, thereby placing us in the situation of French colonies. This piece of intelligence, so insulting, and, at the same time, so interesting to the country, Mr. Jefferson attempted to conceal; and with respect to any symptoms of resentment, or complaint, he is totally silent.
The government possess much more alarming and interesting intelligence from France, which is kept back from us. It is locked up in the secret cabinet of the president, or smothered in congress. We may say in the words of Mr. Randolph, "Let them take off the injunction of secrecy. They dare not. They are ashamed and afraid to do it. They may give winks and nods, and pretend to be wise: but they dare not come out and tell the nation what they have done." Every thing respecting France is veiled in mystery—it is buried in deathlike silence—or hid in the profoundest darkness. However, M. Champagny's letter has told us enough to convince us that Bonaparte reckons us among the number of his slaves, and Mr. Jefferson silently acquiesces.
FROM THE FEDERAL GAZETTE.
THE following state paper [translated from the Washington Monitor] preceded the Milan decree. No additional arguments are necessary to convince America that France will endeavor to force "all powers" into the savage and unnatural war of self-extermination! Hear Napoleon's minister: "If a neutral nation's ship be visited by a British vessel, the neutral ought to expect that all powers will wage war against her!"
REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS RELATIVE TO PORTUGAL, DATED OCTOBER 21.
(Published in the Paris Moneiteur , Jan. 24.)
"There is no sovereign in Europe who does not acknowledge, that if his territory, his jurisdiction, should be violated to the detriment of your majesty, he would be responsible for it. If a French ship were seized in the port of Trieste or Lisbon, the government of Portugal, and the sovereign
to whom Trieste belongs, would have to consider that violence and damage done to your majesty's subjects as a personal outrage: they could not hesitate to compel England, by force, to respect their territory and their ports; if they adopt a contrary conduct, if they became accomplices of the wrong done by England to your subjects, they would place themselves in a state of war with your majesty."
"When the Portuguese government suffered its ships to be visited by English ships its independence was violated by its own consent, by the outrage done to its flag, as it would have been had England violated its territory and its ports."
"The enemy ought to be placed in a state of interdiction, in the midst of the seas to which he pretends to reserve to himself the empire. In this position, all powers ought to expect from each other a mutual support."
"And at what moment did Portugal betray the cause of the continent? Ought England to expect still to have an ally, when, exercising her violence on every sea, she menaced the new world as well as the old, attacked, without any motive of aggression, the flag of the Americans, and dyed their own shores with their blood; when, scandalously famous by the disaster of Copenhagen, which she surprised in the midst of peace, she sought in the pillage of her arsenals, for some sad bloody spoils?"
"But the scandal of this understanding between the Portuguese government and England may be traced to other times. When England meditated, in 1806, the rekindling in Europe that war which your majesty has so gloriously terminated, she sent a fleet to Lisbon; the ministers had conferences; time has developed the object and the result."
"Have not the English squadron, sent to the river plate, touched at Janeiro? Did not the troops sent to Buenos Ayres and Monte Video receive provisions from the Brazils? These distant successes may have escaped the attention of Europe: but she saw Portugal receive and victual in her ports the English ships, destined to blockade Cadiz, to attack Constantinople and Egypt; those which were to land troops in Naples to stir up revolt; those which were to introduce English merchandise upon the coasts of the Mediterranean; though Portugal knew that all the ports in the south were shut against them."
"A French consul, whom Portugal had acknowledged and admitted to the exercise of his functions in the port of Faro, has been taken by the intendant of the customs, sent to prison, taken out only to be exiled, and the Portuguese government refused for three months to repair the outrage."
"Professions of neutrality ill concealed this hostile conduct. The court of Lisbon should have explained itself without shuffling. Your majesty proposed it to accede to the system of the continent, and had it done so, you would have forgotten every thing."
"Far from deferring to your majesty's proposal, the Portuguese government had no other solicitude than that of informing the court of London, of irregularizing England relative to her interests, of guaranteeing the safety of the English, and of their property, in Portugal. It had neither protected the French nor their commerce; the persons and trade of their enemies have continued free and favored. Portugal promises to join the cause of the continent, even to declare war against England; but she wished to make war, if I may use the expression, in concert with her, to furnish her, under the appearance of hostility, with the means of continuing her trade with Portugal, and through Portugal with the rest of Europe; a kind of war equivalent to a perfidious neutrality. Successes were demanded of England, and to gain time, attempts were made to deceive your majesty by vain declarations; scruples were alleged upon some of the consequences of the war, when none were entertained upon the war itself, which breaks all ties."
"In vain did your majesty, digning to condescend to these pretended scruples, modify your first demand; the same refusals were renewed; Portugal made promises, but delayed the execution under different pretences. At one time it was the prince of Beira, a child of twelve years old, who was to be sent to the Brazils to defend that colony; at another time it was a fleet expected from the Mediterranean which it wished to have in safety in the Tagus."
"Thus Portugal, embarrassed in her artifices, making with the court of London engagements, real and useful to the English, with France, vague and pretended engagements, waited for succors and advice from England, sought to delay the measures of the cabinet, and humiliating herself before both, blindly committed to the chance of events the interests, perhaps
the existence of a nation, which unanimously desired her not to give it up to a power so fatal to all its allies."
"The epoch which your majesty had fixed for the expected determination, which you had consented to prolong for a month, arrived. Portugal decided her own fate. She broke off her last connections with the continent, by reducing the French & Spanish legations to the necessity of quitting Lisbon."
"Portugal has placed herself in a state of war with France, notwithstanding the benevolent disposition of your majesty towards her. War with Portugal is a painful but necessary duty. The interests of the continent, from whence the English ought to be excluded, forces your majesty to declare it. Longer delay would place Lisbon in the hands of the English."
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, May 14.
At a late hour last evening the ship Albany , captain Morris, arrived at this port in the remarkably short passage of 32 days from Greock. The editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received by her Glasgow papers to the 28th ult. containing London news of the 5th, from which the following articles (which appear on a cursory perusal to be the most interesting) are copied.
LONDON, April 1.
Captain Duncan, who some time has had a command in the Portuguese naval service, had the good fortune, about the end of February, to escape on board the Russian squadron in the Tagus; from whence he further succeeded in getting on board a vessel of our blockading fleet, and is now arrived in England. This officer remained on board the Russian squadron till the 18th ult.; he of course had ample means of ascertaining the state of opinion, and disposition, of the Russian officers there. Captain Duncan states, that they are anxious to leave that uncomfortable station, could they do it with safety.
The Russians had suffered greatly from the want of necessaries of all kinds. Junot had forbidden any supplies being sent to them; nor had they been enabled, for some time, to procure from the stores of Portugal an ounce of fresh provision of any kind. In the mean while, the inhabitants of Lisbon were reduced to the necessity of making bread of peas, beans and all the inferior sorts of grain, which, when mixed together, were scarcely eatable; and even for this kind the supply was scanty.
Several councils had been held on board the Russian squadron, to consider of the measures to be pursued at such an emergency. At one time, it was proposed that the Russian fleet should put to sea, consisting of one sail of the line and a frigate, and risk an engagement with the British; but, on reflecting that every one of their ships were damaged in their masts, the plan was abandoned as impracticable. Besides this, the crews, for want of proper nourishment, were in a very sickly state.
The plan that had met the sense of the majority, as the less evil of the two, was that of laying up their ships in the Tagus, and of marching their crews over land to St. Petersburg. This project had not been carried into execution on the departure of captain Duncan; but he is of opinion that it must soon take place, from necessity.
It was a prevailing notion among the crews, that the withholding relief from the Russians was a measure of policy on the part of the French, in order to induce them to abandon their ships and proceed to St. Petersburg; but when the real scarcity in Lisbon became apparent, they began to judge more favorably of the conduct of Junot. When the Russian squadron first arrived, Junot showed great attention to the officers, and invited them to dine with him on shore; but these civilities ceased after a time. It is said that offence was given by the Russian officers omitting to toast Bonaparte, after general Junot had drunk the health of the emperor.
Some accounts have been received from the French coast, which speak a fresh assemblage of troops on the height of Etogue. The huts which form the encampment in that neighborhood, appear to have been newly pitched as they were last spring and their number considerably increased within the last month; the flotilla in the harbor, however, remains in statu quo.
During the late unfortunate campaign in Germany, the number of Prussian prisoners who were sent to France amounted to little short of 100,000. By the treaty of Tilsit it was stipulated that they should be immediately restored; but various pretences were urged for not executing the ar-

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years has been acquired throughout the United States - celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-general of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever 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.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Mottier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.

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 sense 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; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin 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 it was recommended to apply at George Dobbin 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.
