EXTRACT OF AN OFFICIAL RELATION, Respecting the Haitian campaign against the French Dessalines, from the 13th to the 17th Oct.
A horrible attempt was to be made in the South part of this island—thousands of victims were to be sacrificed to the suspicion or rather ferocity of Dessalines—General Morcau, and the inspector, Stephen Maitor, were to be the executioners of the most sanguinary orders against the district of Aux Cayes.
Already were they busy about the means of putting their schemes into operation—when they were both arrested by the brave col. Wagnac, whereupon the inhabitants of Aux Cayes rose in a body and swore to either to conquer or to die.
The minister at war, the generals Feron and Vaval, and the colonels Francisco & Bruni Leulane also joined the party of patriots.
Having made his dispositions the minister left L'Anse Veau, with the 15 and 19th half brigades, and advanced to the bridge of Mirogane. The next morning they held a conference with general Yayou who was encamped at Petit Goave, and finding the latter well disposed to act in co-operation, they settled all points; but deferred proceeding farther till the arrival of General Pétion.—General Magloire Ambroise and col. Homare, though the first was sick yet evinced the same patriotic zeal.
On the 15th General Pétion arrived at Petit Goave, where he was received in the manner he deserved, by the troops. Both divisions marched to Goaves where they found Germain; who though he feigned to join our party, was yet soon known to be a turn-coat.
That night we passed at Leogane, and the next morning marched with the 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 21st and 24th half brigades, and three companies of dragoons to Port-au-Prince, which place we were master of at four. General Germain becoming the more and more suspected, he was arrested at ten at night. A traveller informed us that Dessalines's van-guard was approaching us, and he in fact came himself without suspicion.
At the instigation of general Yayou, the soldiers and islanders of the plains of Cul de Sac, stating the urgency of putting Dessalines and Germain to death, in order to preserve liberty—That the soldiers were willingly disposed to do their duty—that the plotters were to watch the plains—and that moreover, they pledged their words, not to let Dessalines have the least suspicion of what was going to pass—they kept their promises—Dessalines traversed the whole plain without being apprized of the disposition of the army. This circumstance reminds us of a well known sentence, that a tyrant has always a great many flatterers and not a single friend.
Dessalines being entirely ignorant of all these facts, and not knowing of our having possession of Port au Prince, continued on his route, in the most perfect security. At eight in the morning he was in the outer posts of our camp, without suspecting it; only in the moment when he was to be arrested he conceived his error, and then trying to make his escape, he received the mortal blow, which put an end to his life and his crimes.
Colonel Marcadier was killed, though much regretted, in defending Dessalines. On the side of the enemy some more were wounded, and on our side but one man killed. Thus were our proceedings in four days crowned with the most fortunate success. This great event, so remarkable in the annals of the history of mankind, will show to the astonished orb, what an oppressed people is capable of; and will at the same time gain us the esteem and admiration of other nations.
On the 18th, at nine in the morning, a Te Deum will be chanted, in order to celebrate this memorable day, on which tyranny was abolished and liberty restored.
Done at head quarters at Port au Prince, the 18th October, 1806.

NEW-YORK, November 26.
The struggles of Democracy.—The following laughable extract of a letter, from Connecticut, was lately received:
"New-Haven, Oct. 28th, 1806.
"Last Wednesday the democrats assembled from all parts of the state at this place—and Bishop came also among them. After a proper pause he rose and addressed the meeting on the glorious principles they held, and the glorious prospects before them. Having flourished away till he thought he had prepared them for the disclosure, he told them with a long and dismal face that the arrearages for supporting the democratic cause the last year, consisting principally of compensations to editors of democratic newspapers, expences for pamphlets, handbills, distribution of them, &c. &c. which he need not particularize, amounted to the precise sum of three thousand four hundred dollars. He went on to tell them, by way of inducing them to follow his example, that he had himself paid out one hundred and seventy dollars; and, he added, he was ready to advance fifty more towards completing the residue, provided others would come forward and subscribe their proportion. The astonishment and consternation was greater than any pen can describe. One got up and moved one thing, another another, and the meeting got into the utmost confusion. In vain was an attempt made to see if the meeting would assume the debt; in vain did Bishop bawl that if they did not by some means or other contrive to raise this sum, the cause of democracy must fall. They took care to pass no vote upon the subject, and thus the meeting broke up—You may rely on the literal truth of what I tell you."
TRENTON, (N. J.) November 10.
Legislative Intelligence.
As the good people of this state are, or ought to be, anxious to know what their representatives are doing, we occupy a part of this week's paper, with a sketch of the proceedings of the assembly. For the information of those who may not wish to search through so long a detail, we here touch upon some of the principal topics of legislative deliberation.
Kentucky Resolutions.
The resolutions of the legislature of Kentucky, proposing an amendment to the federal constitution respecting the power of the judiciary, were, on the third day of the sitting, committed to Messrs. Van Dorn, Condict and W. Cox, together with the resolutions from Pennsylvania and Georgia, concurring in said proposition. On Thursday last the committee reported against the amendment proposed—and the report was agreed to by the house.
Divorce, &c.
A bill giving the supreme court cognizance of cases of divorce and alimony has been dismissed by the house, on the ground that divorces, by being more easily obtained would become more frequent—in other words, that if the door of escape from the bonds of matrimony were set wider open, too many would be crowding through it.
Turnpikes.
The legislature are not likely to be troubled much with turnpikes this sitting. One bill, for a turnpike from Patterson to Hackettsack, was dismissed last Tuesday. Petitions for one from Andover by the Log Jail to the Delaware, were presented to the house and committed to Messrs. H. Hankinson, Dunn and Post, who have leave to report by bill. A petition from the president and directors of the company incorporated to turnpike a road from Brunswick to Easton, for sundry alterations in their charter, was committed to Messrs. Vanduyne, Harrison and Dunn, with leave to report by bill. In council, a bill supplementary to the Patterson and Hamburg turnpike act was passed—all the republican members voting against, and all the federal members for it. Federalists turnpiked their road almost to the top of the hill last sitting and they would willingly finish it now.
The Jersey Shore.
Our dear and loving brethren of New York have, it seems, laid a serious claim to the water and the land under the water up to high-water mark all along the Jersey shore—and lest, from the absurdity and unreasonableness of the claim, we should not think them in earnest, they have actually instituted criminal prosecutions against the captain (Enoch Brown) and owner (George W. Murray) of a vessel from Curacoa (brigantine Ontario) which was duly entered at Perth Amboy, and had proceeded to and arrived at the port of Jersey to deliver her cargo, for a breach of the quarantine laws of New York! This busi-
ness is brought before the legislature of this state by a memorial from the president and directors of the Jersey company, and has, by the house, been committed to Messrs. W. Coxe, Condict, Parker, Whitehead and Vansyckle, with leave to report a bill. What will be done is uncertain; probably commissioners appointed to meet others from the state of New York to fix the boundary line—and this, on our part, would be as if a man should submit it to reference whether the coat he had bought & wore on his back was his own or not! Perhaps, as the jurisdiction of the government of New York is so narrowly contracted by land and water! and that of Jersey is so widely extended on both! our legislature may deem it their duty to accommodate their poor neighbor with a slice of our territory.
From the Boston Repertory.
To profit by the knowledge of European events, we should attend to their nature with more care than we are generally willing to bestow. A great battle makes a good newspaper for that week, and there we are ready to think the consequences of the battle will end. There was a time when the narrative of sieges and battles concerned us little more than the fabulous exploits of the seven Champions of Christendom. That time has passed, and the liberty of America is to be contended for in the fields of Saxony and Hesse.
If France should completely subdue Europe, we shall be slaves or preserve our liberty by fighting for it.
Prussia is now considered the ally of Russia against Bonaparte. If that is really the case, we are not to ascribe it to the confidence Prussia has in the competency of her force, but to despair. She must be driven to extremities, and seeing ruin before her, if she remains at peace, she is willing to take a chance of escaping it by the resort to arms. The new coalition must be ascribed less to policy or intrigue than to the desperation to which Bonaparte in the insolence of victory has reduced Prussia.
It appears that before the battle of Austerlitz in December last, this state had made arrangements with the late coalition, to join their arms. This is to be inferred from the reproaches of the king of England, elector of Hanover, in a manifesto published after the seizure of Hanover by Prussia. After that fatal battle, which drove Austria out of the coalition, the execution of that arrangement by Prussia was no longer practicable. The casus soderis did not exist. The next best thing was to patch up a tolerable understanding with Bonaparte, and thus matters have rested, till Prussia sees the ambition of France advancing more rapidly in peace than war, till she sees half Germany devoured under the name of a confederation of the Rhine, and perceives that his own turn is next for the slaughter.
The present foundation of hope seems therefore to exist only in the extremity of the evil. The means of France are immense and she can command them promptly. The aid of Russia might be great if it could be speedy. But such is the distance that there is reason to fear Prussia will be overpowered, as Austria was, before the Russian armies can advance from Poland.
Prussia is, however, not wholly to be despaired of. Her provinces lie farther off from France than those of Suabia and Bavaria; nor has Prussia such an immense extent of frontier to guard as Austria had, from the Adige in Italy to Ulm on the Danube. With a territory more compact than the Austrian, Prussia is reported to have a large efficient military force capable of taking the field. Perhaps too Saxony, Hesse, and all the north of Germany, can be induced or compelled to co-operate with the king of Prussia in resisting the French. Frederick the Great represents his cavalry as of a superior excellency in discipline, and ascribes his victories to them. How far they preserve this character we know not. It is nevertheless a point of great importance, especially to straiten the quarters of an invading enemy, and to cut off his foraging parties, and in this great requisite it is said the Austrians were the last year exceedingly inferior to the French.
Still, however, the capacity of Prussia to resist France is a matter of reasonable calculation only for a few weeks, till the troops of Russia can advance to his relief. Whether this co-operation has been secured, we cannot pretend to conjecture.
It is evident, Europe, to be independent and free, needs great powers to resist France. The small ones may unite, but confederacies are ropes of sand. Hitherto to Bonaparte has been Europe like a pickel among small fish in a pond.

MESSAGE TO THE MAYOR.
Lord Howick presents his compliments to the lord mayor, has the honor to transmit, for the information of his lordship, a copy of a message just received from Deal.
Downing Street, Oct. 8.

"JAMES SHAW, Mayor.
"Mansion-house, half past 4, P. M."
The Courier says ministers must have been certain the negotiation had completely failed before they would have made a communication like the above.
Wherever the intelligence was spread, it was received with joy. On the exchange repeated huzzas were given.
Fresh orders were issued to the British naval commanders on the news that lord Lauderdale was coming home.
Bonaparte left Paris September 25, and had arrived at Mentz. The French and Prussian armies were within a day's march of each other. No declaration of war has been made. A French minister was still in Berlin.
The Russians were advancing.
On the 26th of September the embargo on vessels for Prussian ports was raised in England.
The British have appointed an envoy to adjust their differences with Prussia.
It was reported the British had gained another victory in Italy.
The French frigates Minerva, Indefatigable, Glory, Armide and President have been taken by the British.
Lord Percy had been elected for Westminster.
Mr. Whitbread was appointed secretary at war.
From LISBON.
Captain Hulén, who sailed from Lisbon October 5, informs, that earl St. Vincent left there on the first, bound to England, with his own and two other ships, and the remainder of the squadron, it was said were to proceed to Buenos Ayres, with a reinforcement. The Portuguese were under no apprehensions of being invaded by a French and Spanish army. Our last news from England stated, that the apprehensions for the immediate safety of Portugal had subsided. In peace she might not be disturbed, and if the war continued it now appears Bonaparte will have employment for his soldiers elsewhere.
We have received from a gentleman of the first respectability just arrived from Kentucky the following statement of facts, relative to the judicial proceedings in the case of col. Burr.
Judge Iunes having taken time to consider the application of the attorney of the district, which was to issue process to enforce the attendance of Mr. Burr, to answer interrogatories, whether he was engaged in the scheme ascribed to him, and to enforce the attendance of witnesses to give testimony on the same point, on the 7th or 8th of November, our informant, not certain which day, pronounced the decision of the court, which was that the court did not possess the power to grant the motion, and if they did, that the affidavit was not sufficient ground for it.
On the motion of the attorney of the district, the court then ordered a grand jury to be summoned instanter , which was accordingly formed during the sitting of the court. At this point of time Mr. Burr, attended by his council, appeared in court. Mr. Burr, addressed the court and said that having understood, just as he was about to leave the state, that certain charges had been preferred against him, he had come from Lexington for the purpose of requesting that an immediate investigation might be had. Mr. Daviess the district attorney, said he was not prepared to go into an immediate investigation before the grand jury, and moved that the grand jury be dismissed until the Wednesday following to give him an opportunity in the mean time to summon his witnesses. The

court granted the motion. On Wednesday the court met.—Of thirteen witnesses summoned twelve appeared. The only absent witness was a member of the legislature of the Indiana territory, then said to be sitting. The grand jury likewise attended. In this stage of the business Mr. Davies, it is said without assigning any reason, informed that he was not prepared to carry the case before the grand jury, and moved their discharge which accordingly took place. No reasons are assigned for this extraordinary course of procedure. Our informant adds that the state of the public mind in Kentucky was tranquil, and not a voice was heard in favor of separation.
National Intelligencer.
BUENOS AYRES.
A late London paper speaking of the advantages which would accrue to the British empire from the acquisition of this important province, thus remarks.
"Already the spirit of British commercial enterprise is actively engaged in preparations for commencing this new trade with South America, a trade which will take off immense quantities of our manufactures, and compensate for the restrictions imposed on our commerce in those countries where French influence has the dominion. All is bustle and expectation in the city, and large capitals are already embarking in this new source of commercial benefit. Two vessels were put up at Lloyd's on Monday for this trade, one of which we understand was instantly freighted by a single house; and the proprietors of a ship now at Portsmouth, loaded with a valuable cargo for the Cape of Good Hope, applied to the underwriters to have their policies altered, that the ship may proceed for Buenos Ayres. We need hardly add that the request was complied with: indeed so partial are the underwriters to this new channel for improving our sources of national industry that they are taking the policies so low as 12 guineas, to return eight, in the event of the vessels reaching their destination in safety."
In the Marine Journal of the Boston Repository, of the 18th inst. is announced the arrival at Boston of one dozen Journeymen Taylors , passengers in the Galen , from London. This importation of cross-legged knights is consigned to John Brooks and Co. In contemplating the future fortunes of these adventurous Tailors, who know what conspicuous parts they are destined to act in the American drama? The proverb " Ne sutor ultra crepidam ," having become obsolete, it will not in the least impede their advancement. Probably the analogy subsisting between cutting out new garments and new governments; between repairing rents in clothes, and making amendments in constitutions, will facilitate their progress in the study of civil polity. The needle evidently points towards the west, and "westward the star of empire takes its way." The prospects of these adventurers, it must be confessed, are good. After wielding the needle a few months, they will doubtless think themselves qualified to wield the democracy of these United States.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a 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.
LUTHER MARTIN.
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 affected 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. Molthier 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.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
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 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 unremitted 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 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.
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 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 affected. 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.

Valuable Family Medicines.
Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomach Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for removing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as Intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow Fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholice, Costiveness, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Bilious Pills, or Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authenticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in extreme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Mutual Assurance Society, against Fire on Buildings of the state of Virginia, held at the General Office, on the 30th of September, 1806, the following Resolution was adopted, which is by order of the Board published for the information of the persons concerned, viz:
A GREAT variety of causes having concurred to render it inconvenient and impracticable to complete the revaluation of those buildings in the towns and in the country, which had been insured prior to the 30th of January, 1805, at the period limited by the last resolution of the Board on that subject.
Resolved, therefore, that the special agents of this Society be allowed till the first day of December next inclusive, to complete the revaluation of all buildings which have been insured as aforesaid, within the districts and towns for which they may have been severally appointed; and that no further indulgence hereafter, will be extended to those members of the Society, who shall fail to have their buildings revalued, on or before the said first day of December next.
