The following article from the London Courier is given without comment. "The partisans of America assert that it is the interest of this country to remain at peace with us—the interest is mutual, or rather we should be justified in maintaining that it was the interest of America than of Great Britain. But America acts and has long acted towards us as if she thought she behaved with great condescension and favor to us in not taking part against us, as if she thought the advantages of peace were all on our side, and as if in not going to war she consulted a principle of generosity towards us rather than a principle of inclination. Hence she has never failed to manifest discontent, to make complaints, to urge demands which she has conceived we would not refuse, because we would not relinquish the benefits we derived from being at peace with her—hence her continued encroachment and attempts to get concessions from us. It is remarkable that against all the late administrations has been that they manifested too great a disposition to make concession to America—it was a charge brought against the administration of Mr. Pitt—it was a charge which was very generally brought against the late administration—it was a charge which, in the affair of Admiral Berkeley and in the proclamation against searching neutral ships of war, has even been brought against the present ministers. Whether these charges were past to the extent to which they are urged, we shall not now enquire, but they proved, at least, that there was no disposition on the part of any administration to behave with harshness towards America. In proportion however as she discovered a yielding and conciliating disposition on our part, did her avarice and desires increase—acquiescence in one demand created only fresh demands, and the more moderation we evinced, the more did it fail to produce a corresponding disposition on her part. We have now the proof and demonstration before us, that America is not to be conciliated by concession. The period of concession is past—she has mistaken our moderation for meanness—she has imputed forbearance to fear—it is high time we should convince her of her error."
A more disingenuous speech than that of Mr. Jefferson—a speech more unworthy of a statesman—more resembling that of a leader of a party than of the head of a government—more liable to the charge of partiality, of wilful concealment of facts, it were difficult to conceive. We know well enough that Mr. Jefferson has always had a strong attachment to the French, an attachment which all the horrors of the revolution have not impaired; but we never could have supposed that in a grave and solemn exposition of the situation of his country to his own legislature, he would have presumed to have characterised the conduct of France, which has been in the highest degree hostile and haughty to America, as perfectly amiable and friendly, while he presented our conduct and our orders in council, which France has obliged us to adopt, in the most black and warlike point of view.
The period for electing a president of the United States approaches—he may wish to propitiate the democratic party in America, and to prevail upon them to re-elect him to the presidential chair. He may also have directed all his indignation against this country, and kept entirely out of view the conduct of France, from a belief that France may at last oblige us to surrender part of our maritime rights. But has this sapient president no apprehensions that the experiment might be fatal to the interests and independence of his own country, and that should France finally prevail over England, the liberty of America would not long survive? There is another circumstance of which we should suppose Mr. Jefferson cannot be ignorant; that a war with this country must be a war without hope; not only without hope, but with certain destruction to the American commerce? But "perish commerce!" is perhaps the motto of the American president, as of certain wits on this side of the water. During his residence in France, he became enamored of the doctrines of the economists and Turgotists, and he wishes, probably, to try the experiment of a nation relinquishing foreign commerce, living upon the produce of its own territories, and continuing itself chiefly to the pursuits of agriculture. If such be his wishes, we know not that he could have found out a more likely means of realizing them than by going to war with this country.
War with this country, it is scarcely possible to conceive he is not desirous of provoking, by the concealment of every fact which might dispose congress or the people of America to adopt amicable or pacific measures—it is utterly improbable that he could have been ignorant, when congress met, of the disposition and feelings of his majesty's ministers, with respect to the affair of the Chesapeake. It was known in this country about the 26th of July—on the 27th of July the subject was alluded to in both houses of parliament. To a question from Mr. Whitbread in the house of commons, Mr. Perceval, the chancellor of the exchequer, replied, that "all he could say was, that if, upon receiving the necessary information, it should appear that there was any thing improper or unjustifiable in the conduct of the officers concern-
ed, there certainly would be every wish, on the part of his majesty's ministers, to make the fullest reparation the nature of the case would admit of." Mr. Whitbread immediately said "that he was glad he had asked the information, because the answer he had received from the hon. gentleman afforded him the greatest consolation."
This declaration of his majesty's ministers must have reached America long before October—indeed we have seen it ourselves in the American papers. We have every reason to believe also that government did transmit a distinct disavowal of the affair; and we are confident too that Mr. Jefferson was informed of the fact that our government did not claim the right of searching neutral ships of war.
But what was the conduct of Mr. Jefferson? In the first heat and fury of the populace, he publishes a proclamation in which he aggravates the popular indignation by the following expressions—"That no circumstances might be wanting to mark its character (the affair of the Chesapeake) it had been previously ascertained that the seamen demanded were native citizens of the U.S." This assertion he made use of without having instituted the necessary enquiries, because it was proved afterwards on the trial of the seamen that they were British subjects; * and this Mr. Jefferson tacitly admits, by abandoning the ground he had taken in his proclamation, and speaking of the men simply as part of the crew of the Chesapeake—This hasty and eager adoption of every thing calculated to rouse the American public against this country, is a sufficient proof of Mr. Jefferson's temper and inclination towards us.
How different is his disposition and language towards France!—All the vexations, the insults and the injustice practised by her towards the trade of America he keeps entirely out of sight—he acts as counsel for France against England, and the head of the government bound by the solemn duties of his office to make a clear, explicit and impartial exposition to his country, describes the relative situation of America and France, of France who to his knowledge had captured American ships, and declared that America should not carry on any trade with G. Britain, in the following terms:—"With the other nations of Europe (meaning to include France) our harmony has been uninterrupted and commerce and friendly intercourse have been maintained on their usual footing." !!!
After the facts we have thus produced, and the comments we have submitted upon them is there a man in this country who will feel any difficulty in forming this opinion and coming to this conclusion—that no solid peace can be expected to exist between G. Britain and the U.S. of America so long as Mr. Jefferson continues at the head of the American government?"
* The London Editor has fallen into a common error, on that side of the water. The fact is, Ware and Strachan were native Americans, Martin was born on the coast of South America, and Radford was an Englishman. Ed. Nov. Ld.

Latest London News.
The ship Romp, one of the fastest sailing vessels belonging to this port, arrived on Saturday evening from London, in 31 days from Land's-End. She left London on the morning of the 7th of January; and captain Chew, to other favors of a similar nature, has added that of furnishing the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a complete file of London papers to the evening of the 6th, and Lloyd's Lists of the same date.
Captain Chew is the bearer of dispatches from Mr. Puckney to the secretary of state. He informs us, and our Lloyd's Lists give ample proof of the fact, that the British cruizers carry into rigid execution the decree of their government against neutrals trading to France and her dependencies.
The news of the embargo in this country must, captain C. thinks, have reached England about the 20th of January; the Lady Arabella packet, from this port, having been spoken on the 14th, in lat. 48, long. 18, 30, within six days sail of Falmouth.
We have copied, from the papers in our possession, the most interesting articles they contain; with the exception of the king of England's counter-declaration to the Manifesto of the emperor of Russia, which is excluded only from its great length, and will be given to-morrow.

C. Thompson, Portrait Painter, requests the ladies and gentlemen who would honor him with their visits, to call on Saturday's, which he will wholly devote for their better accommodation. February 25. d
Ten sail of American vessels have been taken into Algeziras by the Spaniards, for attempting to enter Gibraltar. Several American vessels have been condemned at Gibraltar for going and coming to ports up the Mediterranean.
We were last evening favored with Antigua papers to Jan. 19—a paper of that date contains the embargo act. Admiral Cochrane was going off Martinique, from information that 4 French men of war had arrived there. Two frigates had gone to St. Domingo, in pursuit of two French frigates from Martinique. (Boston Pal. Feb. 21.
Letters from England by the Romp, seem to despair of any accommodation taking place with America. So strong was this impression, that the Romp has come out without a single passenger, or packet of goods; and the American vessels generally in England, were preparing to sail in ballast.
Bonaparte's decree issued at Milan, was received in England, and is animadverted upon in terms of warm indignation and bitter invective.
On Saturday, December 29, appeared in the London Gazette, a declaration from the King of Great Britain, in reply to that of the Emperor of Russia; to which is annexed an order of council, authorising the capture of all ships, vessels and goods belonging to the Emperor of all the Russias. These documents shall be given at length hereafter.
The proceedings in our congress, down to the 1st of December, were received in England, copious extracts from them appear in the London papers, accompanied, in many instances, by remarks of an irritating and insulting nature. Of Mr. Randolph's speech on the augmentation of the navy the Courier says:
"We have given the substance of Mr. Randolph's speech in the senate, in which he declares, that congress ought to have been immediately convened after the affair of the Chesapeake, and the American minister recalled after redress had been demanded; that, if redress had been refused, America should have invaded Canada and Nova Scotia, and made a descent upon Jamaica!! Poor Mr. Randolph, in the warmth of his indignation, and in the flights of his fancy, forgets that the whole navy of the U.S. could not resist for half an hour two British 50 gun ships—and yet he would invade Jamaica!!"
The extract of the decree of the French emperor published in our last, though it furnishes another instance of the violence of its author, excites little or no sensation. Accustomed to his violence, injustice and tyranny, neutral and independent nations receive his edicts, as the commands of a master. Miserable and degraded state of the world! The honor the patriotism, and the courage that once animated men are gone, but not, we hope, forever. They are in full vigor in America when called in to action.
America is not named in this decree, but it is against her, and her only that it is directed.
We consider this decree as coming to a point, that is, that we shall declare for or against France. It has never been our wish that America should be a party in this dreadful conflict, and all that we have said upon this subject will justify our declaration. But this edict leaves America no choice. If a British ship of war boards an American merchant ship, she is declared prize to a French cruiser. If this mighty emperor with all his power cannot or dare not, encounter the British on the ocean, how are defenceless Americans to resist? Besides—the right of belligerents to board and examine neutrals, is coeval with war. We must not pay duties to an English port. If we pay duties in an English port our vessels are forfeited. In the name of all that is just and reasonable, how can we enter a British port or possession without being subjected to the payment of duties? Do not British ships pay duties in our ports?
Then it seems, we should not even steer a course that might lead to England or any of her possessions—Would that this mighty emperor would tell us how we are to steer if bound to one of his own ports or islands; for as to a greater part of the voyage, the course to the one, is the course to the other. "The British islands are in a state of blockade by sea and land!" So says Bonaparte—The mind of man can be prepared for almost any thing by a previ-
ous disposition. If Bonaparte was to issue an edict, declaring that any ship whose papers or documents were in the English language, was for that reason forfeited—there would be no astonishment. A celebrated author tells, that the proud and high spirited Romans were so degraded and humbled, that when Caligula declared "his horse for consul" it excited no sensation and was very patiently submitted to—But Romans were then in their degeneracy—Americans are in their vigor, and we trust and believe that they will not prostrate themselves at the feet of a tyrant.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years have been required 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, astmas, 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 occurrence 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 of 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. Mollhier and others, lately published, the following are submitted to the public, being selected for the purpose of shewing 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 other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and
will gradually destroy all tendency to diseased 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; Jehu 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 affection, 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 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.
