These machines are made on a simple and improved plan for copying, writing, &c. or any size, in an expeditious manner, and are charged at a much less price than any other now in use. They are found to possess a superiority over any others, both by being more durable and not so liable to get out of repair, and by copying any number of writings at one time, without making any alteration in the machine, and their occupying little room. The very general use into which these machines are now brought in use in London and other large trading cities, and the satisfaction testified by all who possess them, render it unnecessary to enlarge any further on their advantages, both in point of accuracy and secrecy and in the saving of time, labour and expence. november 1

PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER, 12.
The Washington Federalist, conducted by Mr. Rind, has the air of being the Government paper. It is correct and exact, temperate and uniform. At present, it is mostly composed of political essays; and vacant of numerous advertisements, affords its readers plenty of matter for a very moderate price.
Such is the rage for chattering among the French, that the "Supple Gaul" will talk the veriest absurdity, rather than lose the chance of being incessantly loquacious, or impertinently civil. Once, when Dr. Johnson complained of a violent tooth-ache, a Frenchman observed, "Ah, Monsieur, vous etudiez trop."
Whatever improprieties Mr. A. may have been guilty of, Tench Coxe is not the man to reproach him. Since we learn from himself that Mr. A. honored him with his uniform and steady friendship, which, we also learn from himself, he most infamously betrayed, by attempting to clog, confuse and thwart the operations of his government, and by writing a series of verbose and most stupid, though libelous attacks upon his character and family.
N. B. While Coxe was writing under the Judean signature of "A Federalist," against the character of Mr. Adams, and against his family, he went to Mr. A. at his lodgings and expressed his desire to promote his election.
Accounts from Lancaster received last evening, say, that the Bill for a joint vote for the choice of Electors for President and Vice President, was passed in the House of Representatives, 54 to 20, and sent to the Senate.
New Jersey Legislature.
A petition from Matthias Williamson, Esq. and others, praying leave to present a bill for incorporating a company to improve the Great Post Road between Philadelphia and New York, by turn-pikes, was read and committed.
Thursday the 27th day of November instant, is appointed as a day of Thanksgiving throughout the State of Rhode Island.
Governor Tichnor of Vermont, has appointed Thursday the 4th day of December next, to be observed as a day of Thanksgiving in that State;—He calls upon the people "To offer up joint supplications to the Great Parent of Mercies, that he would continue to us his goodness; that he would check the progress of Profaneness, Profligacy and Infidelity, and the decay of that Piety, Righteousness and Sobriety which adorned and blessed our ancestors; that he would perpetuate our Civil and Religious privileges, continue to us the Gospel of Jesus CHRIST, and give success to all the means of Grace and Education: that he would convince all orders of men, that Religion and Virtue are the indispensable supports of national prosperity, and inseparably connected with all private, social and public felicity: that he would direct the concerns and prosper the affairs of this state; preside over the Councils of the United States, and give success to the Measures and Administration of the General Government: that he would heal the divisions in our land, and suppress all unreasonable discontent and jealousy: that he would preserve us from internal commotions, and teach us to estimate the blessings we enjoy: that he would lengthen out our national tranquility, and avert from this favored land, those evils and calamities with which other countries have been desolated and overwhelmed; that wars and the causes of wars may cease from under Heaven, and the peaceful Kingdom of the Redeemer be established, universally, and the whole Earth be filled with his GLORY."
Four Dollars Reward is offered in the Washington Federalist, for a steer, that has strayed away from George-town College!—A description of the animal is given, but nothing said about the proficiency he has made in his studies.
Extract from the Answer of the House of Representatives, of the State of Vermont, to the Governor, in reply to his Speech.
"Fully persuaded, as we are, that no principles other than those of morality and religion, can be relied on to confine the passions, views and pursuits of men, within the bounds of reason, duty, integrity and good government, we wish to see them more and more supported, by the laws of this state, and encouraged by the examples of every character. Every age, every country, every state of human things, proclaims to us the importance of moral and christian principles, but none more audibly, than the late, and present state of Europe, where the licentiousness of the subject conspires, with the ambition of the ruler, to prostrate morality, degrade christianity, and eradicate human feelings from the heart. Although sad experience too clearly evinces that learning, if not subjected to these principles, is too apt to be made subservient to the very worst of purposes, yet, when under the direction of christian principles, it is incalculably ornamental and useful to man. In this view, we feel the importance of cherishing literature, and the superior importance of cultivating those principles which alone can give it a proper direction.
"Thankful to Heaven for the blessings we have enjoyed under the administration of a WASHINGTON and an ADAMS, we devoutly implore the same wisdom, goodness, and power, to direct our elections and our Government; and to banish from us forever, calumny, and detraction.
"Whether the pacific measures of our General Government towards France, shall, or shall not be crowned with success, be assured, Sir, we shall still continue at our posts, around the standard of our country, and ardently hope that she uninfluenced by favour on one hand, or hatred on the other, will always extend equal privileges to every nation on earth."
A VERY TOLERABLE PUN.
It is said that the assassination of General Kleber in Egypt, was effected by the machinations of the Sub-General Menou. After the promotion of General Menou to the command of the French Egyptian army, it was the subject of conversation one day, at an entertainment of the officers, where the General was present. In reply to some moral remark on the fate of great military characters, and on the late change of commanders, the successor of Kleber humorously observed, "The command of the army of Egypt was at first given to the present First Cousin; it then devolved upon the late General Kleber, and at last it falls upon Me now." (Wolpé Gazette.)
In the French account of the taking of Ferrol, it is stated that one SPANIARD drove sixteen BRITISH soldiers from a post they had taken behind a rock—this "Out-Heroes Herod"—but it will be swallowed by French and American Jacobins.
[Of the early loves of SHAKESPEARE it is recorded that Anne Hathaway a Warwickshire beauty, captivated the affections of the languine bard, who felt perhaps as he strolled with his rustic mistress on the banks of the Romantic Avon, that excess of tender passion, which he afterwards delineated in his own Romeo. The following beautiful play upon the name of the interesting Anne is from the pen of Dibdin, who has described the persecutions of a pretty woman, "in numbers, such, as Shakespeare's self might use."]
WOULD ye be taught, ye feather'd throngs, In loves sweet notes to grace your song, To charm the heart in thrilling lay, Listen to Ann Hath a way; She hath a way to sing so clear, Phebus might wondering stoop and hear, To melt the sad, makes birthe the gay, And nature charm—Ann Hath a way, She hath a way, Ann Hath a way, To be the delight, Ann Hath a way— When chiv's breath, and rancour's tooth, Do foil and bite fair worth and truth, And merit to distress betray; To sooth the foul, Ann Hath a way.— She hath a way to chide despair, To heal all grief, to cure all care, Turn fouldest night to fairest day, Thou know'st fond heart, Ann Hath a way, She hath, &c. I talk not of gems, the orient lift, The diamond, topaz, amethyst, The emerald mild, the ruby gay, Talk of my gem, Ann Hath a way. She hath a way with her bright eye, Their various luffars to defy, The jewel she and the loil they, So sweet to look Ann Hath a way, She hath, &c. But to my fancy were it given To rate her charms, I'd call them Heavens; For, though a mortal made of clay— Angels might love Ann Hath a way She hath a way, to control, To rapture the imprison'd foul, And love and truth so to display, That to be Heaven—Ann Hath a way.

Extract of a letter from a Political Character of distinguished rank abroad, to his friend at Philadelphia.
"I was much gratified by your anecdotes respecting the proceedings in the Senate upon the Treaty. The opposition gentlemen must indeed be at a loss for the materials of censure upon the Government, when they are willing to make use of such disapprobation as I ever expressed or felt concerning any part of its administration."
The orations in honor of that venerable man, who now only lives in memory, as a model for statesmen and heroes, gave me the most great pleasure, though not all worthy of the illustrious character they commemorate. Poor as our country unfortunately is in the most elegant departments of literature, I cannot but hope that some native unsophisticated American will be found to give the world a specimen of biography, which may be in its way, as useful and honorable as the life it will record—a subject in every respect so admirable ought to be amply treated by the wisest head, and the most excellent heart contained in the union."
Webster's letters to Dr. Priestley are sensible, and temperate—perhaps too temperate, a virtue which is apt to degenerate into frigidity. He has treated with less severity than it deserved, the insidious and hypocritical attempt of the Doctor to attack our government and constitution, upon the pretence of defending himself. The Doctor seems to have felt peculiar sensibility, at Porcupine's calling him an hypocrite, for the sting of satire is never so sharp, as when pointed by truth. Now if there were no other instance to give, than one I mentioned in my last, the Doctor's assertion that he wishes for a total revolution of government in England, but that it may be effected peaceably, this alone would suffice to stamp him for an hypocrite; that is a man who pretends to virtues which he does not possess. Shallow as Doctor Priestley's political opinions are, he is not cool enough to believe this possible, or to will sincerely what he knows to be impossible. The real with therefor is for the revolution, and the added proviso, that it may be peaceably effected, is a mere pretence to sentiments of humanity, which he did not feel, and therefore pure genuine hypocrisy.
It is not at all surprising that the American Jacobins should be dissatisfied with the late changes in France, and the new constitution there, which has so formally abjured all their favorite tenets. The French Jacobins are as little pleased with it; but as long as the first Consul shall be a victorious general, they dare not stir. The fate of France has been very much ameliorated in every respect by this change—Internally, a dangerous rebellion has been suppressed, and externally, victory has returned in every quarter to their banners. A power, greater than that of any limited monarch in Europe, has indeed been committed to the first Consul; but his character improves by success; he has done very few improper things, since he attained his present station, and many wise things. His fate now depends again upon the chance of war, and as every present prospect promises him a career of victory, calculated to increase still higher his military reputation, it is probable that his power may acquire a consistency, that could not be expected when he ventured upon the bold attempt which seated him at the head of the French nation. It is indeed yet impossible to consider him as a principled man. His ambition like that of other conquerors scrapes little what means it employ, but it has certainly great and noble views, and the prospects of France, in case of his failure, are in every particular so much worse than what she may hope from seeing him established firmly, that I believe this is really to be wished.
There is nothing in which the French policy has been so much improved and amended under the present administration, as in their treatment of other nations, and especially of the neutral states—all their plundering and barbarous decrees against neutral navigation, have been rescinded, and they have established as a court of final appeal in admiralty causes, a tribunal, which they call the Council of Prizes . They have commenced their sessions, and their first decision was an act of signal justice to citizens of the United States. The Ship Pigeon of Philadelphia, had been taken, by two national frigates, and condemned by the two inferior Courts of Admiralty—in the second instance both vessel and cargo, for the want of a role d'équipage. But as it appeared the want of this paper was owing to the Yellow Fever being at Philadelphia, when the vessel failed, the Council of Prizes have reversed the sentences of the Lower Court, decreed the restoration of the ship and cargo, and costs and damages to the appellants. Such at least is the account I had in the last Paris Papers, though I have it not from either of our Commissioners. If the fact be so, as I believe it is, and the Council of Prizes proceed to act with the same equity and regard for the laws of nations, in other cases, the negotiations of our commissioners will be greatly facilitated, and the issue will show how really prudent and politic the appointments of this mission to France was. Yet this incident serves to show how little we can calculate upon the effects of public measures upon the public mind. From most of our accounts it should seem that this very measure has weakened the influence of the person at the head of the American Government. That it alienated many of the Friends to the government, without gaining any of its enemies. The next election will doubtless show how far these surmises are well grounded. But neither our age nor country have been the first to discover it.
"An habitations giddy and unsafe, Heads he that buildeth on the vulgar heart."
Copy of a letter to a merchant in New York, dated Curacoa, October 18, 1800.
"I have before informed you of an armament having arrived here from Guadalupe, who demanded the possession of the fortifications for the protection of the island, which was refused by the government, when affairs bore a gloomy aspect; however, in consequence of the frigate La Vengeance , then lying here, not taking the active part that was expected, they appeared somewhat lessened with the refusal of the Governor, in not giving over the command of the forts and requesting the assistance of the government to enable them to depart, which was granted. They were furnished with five or six vessels put in complete order for sea, and every other assistance they required, which amounted to a very large sum, and which they promised to reimburse, by making shipments of produce from Guadalupe. When they were ready to depart, their sailing was postponed from day to day, on frivolous pretences, until several armed vessels full of men appeared off from Guadalupe; on which the fleet, 13 in number, sailed out of the harbor and joined them, to the great satisfaction of the inhabitants, who were dismissed after being six weeks on service. On the day following, joy was turned into melancholy, there arriving a report from Leeward, that the French troops had landed and taken possession of the fort at St. Michael's. After some skirmishes, in which the Dutch troops behaved in a most dastardly manner, the enemy gained possession of the town on the leeward side of the harbour, where they did considerable damage by plunder and musketry. There was a continual fire kept up day and night from all the forts. While in this situation a frigate appeared in chase of two privateers that were placed at the east end of the island to intercept any vessels bound here."
A dispatch boat was sent off to the ship that proved to be the Nereid , F. Watkins, Esq. commander, to whom the island capitulated on terms as copy enclosed. The frigate could not render the necessary assistance, being short manned, having taken several prizes—the landed twenty marines, and remained cruising off the harbour. By this time the French had opened a new battery of 18 pound cannon on the town, at the same time demanding a surrender in 24 hours. At this critical moment two American sloops of war ( the Patico and Merrimack ) appeared off, one of which came into the harbour, which very much disheartened the invaders, and I believe prevented a much longer siege. The night following (day 22d September) they privately went to sea with their plunder to a great amount. On the day following the English frigate came into port, since which several have arrived. There is a great number of privateers cruising about the island, who have sent in a number of American vessels which have been ordered to Jamaica for trial. There have been proposals made by the British to encourage trade to the Spanish main, which have received no encouragement. The Spaniards appear exasperated at the manner in which they are deprived of all their property at this place. A frigate has now gone on the same business. It appears doubtful whether a trade here will be worth pursuing."
ARTICLES OF CAPITULATION.
 Agreed between Frederick Watkins, Esquire, captain of his Britannic Majesty's ship Nereid , now lying off the harbour of Curacoa, and John Rudolph Luffler, Governor ad interim of said island.  1. The Island of Curacoa and its dependencies shall be placed under the protection of his Britannic Majesty, and shall peaceably submit to the government of his said Majesty. Answered—Agreed to.  2. The inhabitants of this island and its dependencies shall enjoy perfect security in their persons and property, and in the full exercise of their religion; excepting such as shall appear to belong to the subjects of powers now actually at war with Great Britain, such property only excepted as was on board the vessels in the harbour on the 10th inst. Answer—Agreed to.  3. All ships and vessels of war in the harbour, and all artillery, warlike stores, ammunition, &c. that may be found in the forts and public magazines, and all property of whatever nature belonging to the Batavian Republic, shall be delivered up to his Britannic Majesty in the same state in which they now are; and officers shall be appointed by each power to take inventories thereof. Answer—Agreed to.  4. All debts due by the government of this island shall be punctually paid out of the revenues of the said island. Answer—Agreed to.  5. No alteration shall be made in the established laws of this island, excepting such alteration should in future be found necessary for mutual benefit and safety; in which case it shall be regulated by the concurrence of both parties. Answer—Agreed to.  6. During the time this island shall remain under the protection of his Britannic Majesty, or in case the island and its dependencies should at the conclusion of the war remain in possession of Great Britain, the inhabitants of said island and its dependencies shall enjoy the same rights and privileges as his Majesty's subjects in the West Indies. Answer—Agreed to.  7. The laws heretofore observed respecting property shall remain in full force. Answer—Agreed to.  Private article. As it is impossible for the inhabitants of this island and its dependencies to subsist without a free intercourse with the Spanish Main, the port of Curacoa and its dependencies shall be open to all Spanish vessels. Answer—Allowed the same free trade as the island of Jamaica. 
Signed, sealed, and ratified in the presence of Cornelius Spencer and C. A. Van Beck, on the part of Johan Rudolph Luffler, and in the presence of John Lucy March, on the part of Frederick Watkins, at Fort Amsterdam, in the island of Curacoa, the 13th September, 1800.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the War-Office to his brother in this city, dated 8th instant.
"I was last night a sad spectator of a tremendous fight. The War-Office was burnt down, and with it every book, record, and paper, save the Accountant's which were down stairs, and were rescued from the flames. The fire is supposed to have communicated from the adjoining house, which was also destroyed—a piece of timber projected from under the hearth of Mr. Jackson's house into the house occupied by the Office, and the fire commenced on that side of the room—The fire places of the Office were all on the other side of the house, and in the Secretary's room where the fire first shewed itself, there had been no fire for three weeks preceding, owing to his absence:—the morning had been warm and the fire in my apartment had been suffered to expire some hours before I left it. The loss is great and irretrievable."

Prevention better than Cure.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S
Anti-bilious Pills,
WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be 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 favour 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, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those 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 and may 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; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and 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 most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water.
A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir.
For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.
