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 preventive; 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 fulness, restore 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, dulness, 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 thousands 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. SOLD BY WM. Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where also may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c.

Halifax Prize Cases.
Schooner Farmer, from Philadelphia, for Savannah, was lately sent into Halifax. The vessel was owned by an American, the cargo by a Frenchman, who resided at Philadelphia. The attorney-general urged the condemnation of the cargo, because a Frenchman could not alienate his country; and plead for the condemnation of the vessel because the captain was an Englishman, and although naturalized, married, and long a resident in Philadelphia; still he could not divert himself of his allegiance, nor claim for a citizen of America. The Judge said, that the cargo belonged to a Frenchman (albeit living in the United States) and going directly to an enemy's port, must be condemned. As to the vessel, said the Judge, she is confessedly neutral, and therefore, whoever is the claimant, must be restored; and the captors must pay the owners full freight.
The case of the Apollo, captain Lee.
The claim was by the captain, stating that he with his brother, who was his mate, were owners of the brig, that they had chartered said vessel to a Mr. Hector Scott of New-York; that they were to take a cargo and carry to Curacoa, and return with another, and that they had nearly completed the contract when taken, (being just off the Hook.) It appeared that Hector Scott was a natural born subject of Great Britain; but it did not appear how long he had resided in the United States. The right of citizenship was in this respect as in the last case, argued with great warmth by Mr. Uniack, attorney general, and Mr. Stewart, attorney for the claimants; the attorney-general held up the idea that Hector Scott was a British subject and could not, by any act of his, throw off his natural allegiance; that he was in a neutral country, under cover, supplying the enemies of his country, and that he ought to be treated as a "REACTOR," and his property confiscated. Mr. Stewart argued that Mr. Scott was an American, and as such had come into this court (by his attorney) and that neither Mr. Uniack, nor the Judge of this court of vice admiralty of Nova-Scotia had any concern in the right of establishing the mode of citizenship; that it was a national matter, concerning national characters, and that it must be decided by the two nations. The Judge thought proper to give 30 days respite for further proof, as it respected the claim of Mr. Scott - but laid as to the vessel, there appeared to him sufficient evidence that the property was actually the claimants, who were natural born citizens of the United States, and therefore decreed the captors to restore the vessel, and pay the captain the full of his freight, or charter; but the cargo is to remain till the expiration of 30 days for judgment thereon.

TO JOHN DORRANCE.
President of the Town Council in Providence.
THE five riders appointed to correspond with, and to aid in the relief of the inhabitants of Baltimore, Norfolk and Providence, now suffering under the most extensive distress that ever afflicted our cities, take the liberty to address you, and to give you some account of their proceedings.
For the purpose of assisting you on the occasion of your present sickness, Ward Committees are appointed to collect subscriptions in the city and district of Philadelphia, on whose exertions we depend for pecuniary aid; and this committee will not fail to write you again, as soon as the amount of their subscriptions is known, in the mean time, we request you will please to advise us of your general situation, that we may proportion our contributions to the exigence of the poor in the cities of Baltimore, Norfolk and Providence, according to the best of our judgment.
With our best wishes for the prosperity of Providence, and the speedy restoration of health to all its inhabitants, we remain your friends.
(Signed by the Chairman.)
P. S. You will please to mention whether cash, provisions, or clothing, will be most acceptable.
A Town Council held in and for the town of Providence, on the 30th day of September, 1800.
GENTLEMEN, Your letter of the 9th inst. having been laid before us, by Moses Brown, we cannot but feel very sensibly affected with its contents, and gratefully acknowledge on the part of our distressed fellow-citizens, the favour contemplated for them therein.
We would inform that the malignant disorder with which this place has been visited, made its first appearance on the 15th of August last, in the south part of the town, a quarter which is now nearly deserted by the inhabitants. During the time the disorder has prevailed, this Council have been in the constant custom of giving regular statements to the public respecting it. The numbers taken sick have been eighty four, of whom fifty one have deceased, including three who died abroad, twenty seven have recovered, and six now remain sick, all of whom are at the Hospital, about one mile from the town. Although the disease has been confined within narrow limits, and partially affecting only the south part of the town, yet, the alarm excited thereby, has induced about one third of the inhabitants (comprising the most wealthy) to leave their abodes; this, with the stoppage of the coaling trade, and the suspension of the necessary supplies from the country, and the general stagnation of business, has operated greatly to the disadvantage of the labouring poor, who are destitute of employment. The police of this town, however, is such, and the powers of those to whom it is intrusted by law to make provision, so ample, as that their necessities have been as yet provided for, and unless the calamity should be more distressing than what we are encouraged to hope, we trust that the means of this town will still be adequate thereto - this we may expect from the Town Treasurer being authorised to borrow monies of the Bank; the Directors of which have hitherto furnished him for that purpose.
We leave it with you to judge from this statement, whether the situation of this place, requires your assistance. If you should conceive that it does, your favours would be more acceptable in cash than in any other article, as it could be readily applied to the relief of the necessitous.
It is more immediately the province of this Council to provide for the poor labouring under contagious sickness, and relative thereto, you will please to address your communications, and such pecuniary favours as you may deem expedient, to John Dorrance Esq. President of this Council by whom they will be properly and faithfully bestowed.
Please to accept our best wishes for your welfare, and continuance of health to the inhabitants of your city, and of our assurance of the high sense we entertain of their benevolence and philanthropy.
Signed by order, and in behalf of said Town Council, Sept. 30. 1800.
NATHAN W. JACKSON, C. Clerk. To Samuel Coates Esq. Chairman of the Committee of Correspondence. Philadelphia.
[Something for Josiah Bloomfield, his man Sayre, and other Jacobins.]
From the Trenton Federalist. Fellow Citizens of the County of Burlington.
FINDING my name inserted in a pamphlet, published by order of a meeting of republican citizens of the county of Burlington, at the house of Joshua Rainear, in Springfield the 20th September, 1800, Major General Bloomfield, chairman, as one of their corresponding committee for the township of Hanover, which pamphlet is addressed to the people of the county of Burlington. I feel it my duty, as well as inclination to inform you, my fellow citizens, least you may be led to form unfavourable and false sentiments of my political principles, that the placing my name as one of the corresponding committee, was without my consent, and that I had no knowledge whatever of the meeting at the house of Joshua Rainear. No better proof
The republican meeting as it is called, in Springfield, was announced at Slab-town; but the chairman and secretary have omitted the name of the village - Where they ashamed of it? Or was it for fear of reminding the county of the noted republicans who inhabit there.
need be produced of this fact, than their placing me as a committee for Hanover, when my residence is notoriously known to be in Northampton. Another proof also presents itself, of the illegal and random manner they named their committees, two names being inserted with mine as their Hanover committee, neither of which men reside in the township of Hanover, viz. Levy Budd and Joseph Shinn - Levy Budd is a resident in Northampton. I call on the chairman, sec eta y or any member of that meeting, to announce, if they can, that I gave any authority whatever, to any of them, to place my name as one of their committee.
I have examined the productions of this republican meeting, contained in their pamphlet, and I am pointedly opposed to the principles they advance, being convinced that they lead to disorganization, confusion and war - However plausible or specious their doctrines may appear, I believe them to be erroneous, and will be productive of multiplied evils to the community. I ask you, my fellow citizens, if the same system which were laid by our great and magnanimous departed Washington, have not been purposed by his successor, our now President Adams; you will agree with me, that they are the same; all America knows they are, and all the good and virtuous men in Europe have acknowledged and applauded the wisdom of his measures. I am proud to own the honor, that I served under his banners in the times that tried men's souls, when the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot, shrunk from their duty. Where were these men at this time? He it was that led us through lonely woods, over desert hills and fields of blood, and raised the banners of freedom: He it was, that formed the present political and civil systems which dams pursues; do they not all coincide with his farewell legacy? If we continue to pursue them, be assured they will guide us safely on, to that rank, respect and eminence we are entitled to hold among the nations of the world: If we forsake his sage advice, for inconfid-rate schemes of private pique or revenge, we enter into parties, will split to pieces and like the Roman Empire come to nothing. Read this great man's farewell address to the citizens of America, and you will be convinced of the truth of these remarks, and you will, as I do, despise and discard the piddling, crooked and disorganizing policy, held forth by the chairman and secretary of this republican meeting.

THE LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Via New-York.
From the Times - London August 27.
Yesterday during the sitting of the Cabinet Council, dispatches were received from his Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at Vienna. They are dated upon the 15th inst. So late as that date, no notice had been given by Gen. Moreau of the re-commencement of hostilities: but this is not the only circumstance which confirms the belief we have lately entertained of Duroc's possessing a secret latitude of power, and of their being room for another ultimatum upon the part of Buonaparte.
On Sunday some private dispatches were received from Paris, and another express arrived yesterday morning by the way of Dover. We shall not permit ourselves to reason loosely upon a subject so important. We know that no overtures for a just, solid, and permanent peace will be refused by his Majesty's Council. We think, under the present circumstances, the French Government must perceive the absurdity of offering any other.
The menaces of the Chief Consul against Portugal, and the mission of Gen. Berthier to the Court of Madrid; the demand, if it be true, of a passage through the papal territories for the invasion of Naples, and the new appointments of commanders in chief to new armies both severally and collectively indicate the vast projects of Buonaparte; who, while he attempts to dictate a conqueror's peace from the Meuse to the Minho, is disturbing the slumber of Spain, terrifying Portugal with arms or tribute, and endeavouring to sow discord at the bottom of the Baltic. What region of the earth is not full of his labours? What state does he neglect to agitate and embroil? The continent of Europe appears at last awake to its dangers, and the impolicy of declaring the "vast projects," pending the negotiations, will be as profitable, we trust, to the common cause, as it is open to the common apprehension.
The removal of Gen. Massena from the command in Italy may be variously accounted for. A man who is as great in war, as infamous in character, may be dismissed or preferred, may be wanted or may be superfluous. His removal may be intended as mercy to the Calabrones whom he has robbed and pillaged with the unrelenting ferocity of an Arab. His science in the art of plunder may define him to the Tagus; or finally, he may lead the second army of reserve into the Tyrol, where, in the event of the renewal of hostilities, the republicans will doubtless attempt to force their way, joining on either hand the armies of the Rhine and of Italy, and advancing in a common line against every part of the Hereditary States.

Mr. Lang,
Enclosed is a Document, taken from the "True Briton," a London daily newspaper, of the 9th of July, and sent to you for publication, in hopes that it may have some tendency to check the increasing prevalence of DUELLING, and promote the indispensable necessity of Naval and Military subordination in all countries.

Major-General Coote,
The following is a copy of a letter addressed to Major-General Coote, on the occasion of his bringing the Challenge of Major Armstrong before a Court of Law:
Horse-Guards, July 25, 1800.
SIR,
"I have received his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief's directions to signify to you his Majesty's most gracious approbation of your conduct in respect to Mr. Armstrong, late Major in the 11th regiment of foot. His Majesty considers the conduct of Mr. Armstrong, in having endeavoured to ground a personal quarrel on the evidence which you gave in conformity to your duty on your oath, before a General Court-Martial, as militating not less against the principles of public justice than against the discipline of the army. And his Majesty has been pleased to direct, that it should be signified to you in the strongest terms, that by having had recourse to the laws of the country, on this occasion, you have displayed a spirit truly commendable in a soldier, and peculiarly becoming the station you hold in his Majesty's service, to which you have rendered a material benefit, by furnishing an example which his Majesty has ordered to be pointed out as worth the imitation of every officer under similar circumstances."
"In order that his Majesty's sentiments on this head may be generally known, I have received his royal commands to transmit a copy of this letter circular, to commanding officers, with directions to cause it to be inserted in the Books of Orders in their respective regiments."
"I have the honor to be, Sir, With much regard, Your very obedient faithful serv't, H. GALVERT, Adjutant-General."
"To Major-General Coote, &c."

RICHMOND, (Virg.) October 2.
Horrid Murder!
A most cruel and inhuman murder was on Saturday evening last, committed on Mr. William Alexander, a young gentleman of Campbell county, as he was returning to his father's from the court-house where he had been that day on some business. Perhaps the barbarity exercised in this shocking deed has been seldom equalled—for the blood-thirsty assassin, more rapacious than the carnivorous beast of prey, could not leave the victim of his wrath and vengeance, until he had cut the throat from ear to ear! after fracturing the skull in such a manner as to ensure death. The morning following, the horse belonging to this unfortunate young man, with saddle, bridle and saddle-bags on him, was discovered standing in the road beside the bloody corpse of his master. A large loaded horse-whip was found near the body, supposed to be the weapon made use of in the commencement of this act, which probably may lead to the discovery of the perpetrator, whose name will hereafter shock the ear of humanity. Mr. Alexander, for many years had acted as deputy clerk under his father, and from his extreme capability, all the duties attached to his father's office, as clerk of the county, devolved upon him.
ALEXANDRIA, October 4.
General Gabriel, has arrived late at Richmond, and it is thought he will be exalted to a station some what higher than the one he has hitherto held; but this unambitious patriot seems rather anxious to wave the matter, if possible. After an involuntary, and we rather suspect disagreeable interview with the Governor, his Excellency was escorted to the Penitentiary, where he is to wait for further orders. Notwithstanding the great anxiety exhibited for his safety, the General is said to have manifested the utmost composure; and with the true spirit of heroism seems willing to resign his high office and even his life, rather than gratify the officious enquiries of the Governor, which may endanger the neck of his dark satelites.
NORFOLK, October 2.
The guard which carried Gabriel to Richmond, returned yesterday. He was committed to the Penitentiary House, and we understand is to be tried to-morrow, on which day ten of his accomplices are to be executed.
An American of 35 guns has been seen off the Capes of Delaware, dismasted.
Accounts are in town from Suffolk, mentioning that an insurrection had been meditated at that place. It is said the circumstance was discovered by two white women that lived with some negroes. A patrol on Monday apprehended the women, and they were undergoing an examination when the stage left there.
We are requested by several subscribers to observe that the firing of sky rockets is both dangerous and improper. To those who have resided in St. Domingo it is well known that the negroes at the Cape kept up their communications with the plantations by means of sky rockets—we therefore hope the practice will be discontinued. An alarm of fire was caused the other evening by the stick of a rocket falling upon the roof of a house near Catherine-street.

THE GRAND QUESTION STATED.
At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be asked by every American, lay on his heart, his conscience, and his soul, is, "shall I continue in allegiance to GOD—AND A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT; Or impiously declare for JEFFERSON—AND NO GOD!!"
To READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.

"PLUTARCH;" political Parrellel is not unworthy of his name. It appears this day.
"JACOBINISM ILLUSTRATED," a poetical dialogue between a brace of New Jersey Political Sinners, is a valuable addition to our stock of satire against the miserable Jacobins.
LITERARY NOTICES.
We hear that Tom Cooper is preparing for the Press, a digest of the Bankrupt Law, with precedents &c. &c. The eminent qualifications which the learned scribbler derives from former experiences and present situation, justify the public expectation that the proposed digest will come perfect from his hands.
We would hint to this learned recluse, the great advantages, which he, as well as his friends, might derive from a complete digest (in a cheap pocket volume) of the law of treason, sedition, libels &c. &c. and the other branches of criminal law, in which he and they are most frequently interested. His present retirement, is happily adapted for such undertakings.
"Give honor to whom honor is due."
We have often heard complaints of the ingratitude of republics. We are happy, in opposition to them, to state the following fact; and to express our most hearty applause of the manner in which such Valor wisdom, and Virtue have been rewarded.
Joseph Bloomfield, Mayor of the city of Burlington, (Tamons for Pork and Hams) actually planned and superintended the erection of four or five butchers shambles, in the main street of said city, on one front whereof is an inscription to this effect.
Erected A. D. — during the Mayorality of JOSEPH BLOOMFIELD Esq.
We hear that his worship, besides having contributed handsomely to the expense of the inscription, propoſes presenting the town with a gun stick, out of which his own image will be hewn by an eminent artist, and stuck up horizontally over the roof, as a weathercock. It is a happy circumstance, that so well deserved a compliment to the individual may be thus made to contribute to the convenience and gratification of the citizens generally.
It is due to truth and to the character of British soldiers to state, that the unfortunate Mrs. Caldwell, whose death has been ascribed to British cruelty, fell by the hand of a Morris County Militia Man; who, during a skirmish between two small parties, in the neighbourhood of the house where she resided, defiantly shot her to gratify an old grudge against her husband. The murderer is now no more, but, the person to whom he confessed his guilt, shortly before his death, yet lives.
Is Stephen Sayre, (Joe Bloomfield's Secretary,) the same Stephen, that, exhibited a demand against the United States, for a large sum of money, as a compensation for monies advanced and services rendered, (or alleged to be) by him in Europe, with no other voucher, than his own word and honor?
We believe that demand was refused; was it not Stephen?
A letter received this morning by the Editor, from a gentleman of information in Burlington County, (N. J.) says, "The efforts of Jacobinism will be frustrated.—Our accounts from every part of the State are encouraging. I am of opinion that our Legislature will be more federal than last year."—Laus Deo.
TENCH COXE
Continues his whining, canting and hypocritical letters. In one published in the Aurora of this morning, he talks of his FRIENDS [what a bore] and sneaking [hint for an higher office; the one he holds does not compensate him for his sufferings] and says they see in the past the fore pledge of his future exertion. [In the past and present we see a sure pledge of his future infamous conduct.] But the best of all is, he denies having acted as a guide, or conducted or ESCORTED the British army, Tenche,
this is too large to be swallowed even by your friends, many of whom saw and knew you when you escorted the British Army into this city. Deny having joined the British and you give the lie to your Father. As to your being one of the Board of Refugees, you say it is a most dangerous and criminal falsehood and is really shocking. It affects your delicate nerves, does it? TENCHE. Do you suppose that your word will disprove it; why Sir, your oath would scarcely remove the suspicion of its being true, but why Sir, do you not bring facts to prove its falsity; there WAS a man by the name of — Coxe—one of that Board, and who so likely as yourself. Nay Sir, the gentleman who furnished us with the information laid it was YOU; and until something better than your word is produced the stigma will remain where it has been placed. While you are denying facts, you had better deny sending the poor Negroes to Santa Cruz, and selling them for Slaves, while you were Secretary of the Abolition Society. This fact alone ought to damn you with every virtuous man.
For the Gazette of the United States.
BLOOMFIELD & SAYRE.
PERHAPS there are no two men living who should be more anxious to live entirely forgotten and unknown than Joseph Bloomfield and Stephen Sayre. The first cannot move without betraying the extreme deficiency of his understanding; nor the latter without discovering the depravity of his principles and wickedness of his heart. But as they have thought proper to put themselves in conspicuous situations; to address the people on their political concerns, and to guide the public mind by falsehood, folly and misrepresentation, to those who do not know them, a short sketch of their characters may be amusing.
BLOOMFIELD
was for many years an attorney of the lowest grade in the state of New-Jersey; a down-right proverb for weakness and dullness of intellect; a standing subject of ridicule and jest. Being at length absolutely and literally laughed from the bar, he set up for a politician, and has been trying in vain to be something ever since. As the county in which he resides is a Federal County, he was therefore a Federalist; and when, lately, he was a Candidate for Congress, suspicions being entertained of the soundness of his principles, he published a certificate to prove his federalism. Among the federalists, however, it was impossible for a man of his capacity to find preferment. He has therefore in hopes of better success, now suddenly declared himself the leader of the Jacobins in Burlington county. As he is extravagantly fond of parade, it is believed he was disappointed in receiving no command in the late military establishment.
SAYRE
is an open, avowed, and profane blasphemer of the Christian Religion and of all religion; a vulgar and devoted disciple of Tom Paine, with corresponding moral principles. He not long since avowed in a public stage that he had no more soul than the horses before it, and endeavoured, with great ingenuity and kindness, to persuade the other passengers they were no better. He has been heard to say, he would rather be caught with a stolen sheep on his back, than going to a church or place of worship, a house of fraud and deception. In short, it is in vain to repeat the instances of his expressing sentiments of this kind, as they form his common and daily conversation, in all companies and at all times. For the further account of this fellow, and the manner in which he was amusing himself during our revolution, the reader is referred to a Book, entitled "Memoirs of Mrs. Beddely," where they will find him in the honourable station of a kept gentleman, and then running off and deserting his keeper, who was the said Mrs. Beddely.
