Wilson & Cunningham. September 28. From the New York Gazette. The following plain, but sensible remarks on the state of the British West-India Islands, were handed to us yesterday by an American, who arrived here in the Schooner Eliza, last from St. Kitts. He told us that he penned them on the passage, but requested us not to mention his name—but the information he has communicated is of such high importance to the future interests of this country, that we will, we trust, excuse us for giving his name to those who may ask for it, as, by this means, we shall not be accused of fabrication; and, besides, such important information, from an authentic source, from actual observation, will, no doubt, have some effect upon the deliberations of Congress—they are facts worthy of their consideration.
OBSERVATIONS ON THE EMBARGO. Having lately been in several of the West-India Islands, and consequently in a situation to observe the noble and great effects our Embargo has had on the colonies, I now offer some few of them for the perusal of the publick. Having in the course of the month of September visited the Islands of Nevis, St. Kitts, St. Bartholomews, and St. Martins, and my business being of such a nature that I have often been conversant with several of the planters as well as men in mercantile business in each of said islands, I am enabled to form a pretty just idea of the distresses and embarrassments that the different Islands have been placed by this time by your Embargo, and of their future prospects of living without the least assistance of America. In the first place, they acknowledge that the Embargo had been severely felt, but that severity was most felt for three or four months after the Embargo was laid—by its being so unexpected, and consequently had to curtail their allowances—but it took place at the proper time of year for planting their grounds; and to remedy the evil they planted on an average of the estate, about twenty acres of ground with yams and potatoes and sweet pumpkins for food for the negroes, and the potatoes and pumpkins are now ripe and almost gone; their crop of yams will be ripe the first of November; and with what the negroes raise on their own ground, have given them great plenty, and have enabled them (the negroes) to sell at market in the different towns sufficient for the supply of the inhabitants; and yams being a good substitute for bread, the inhabitants have so accustomed themselves to the use of them, that they consume but very little bread—so little, that the sales of flour is not so much by two-thirds what it was previous to the Embargo. Although the amount of flour in the Island of St. Kitts, at the time I sailed, was, in their monthly report, said to be twenty-five hundred, and spoiling in the stores. Their supplies from Europe have been great. In the month of September there were four large ships arrived from different ports in Europe, and with different kinds of provisions for the Island; there were also three brigs and two Schooners arrived from Halifax, one of which touched at Barbadoes and Dominico for a market, but found none; stopped at St. Kitts, and from thence proceeded to St. Croix and St. Thomas.
All South America as well as the Spanish Islands have now a free trade with the English, and the Spaniards are flocking into the windward islands with cattle, mules, sheep, goats, & poultry in great abundance—so much that they are enabled to supply the English troops and navy with their usual quantities of fresh provisions. I will also add, there are letters from London and Liverpool to their correspondents in St. Kitts, stating that their fishing last season has been great, that India rice has arrived in abundance, and that they can supply the colonies with almost every article they may want; that their American ships are all out of employ, and would fit out for Nova Scotia for the purpose of supplying the colonies with lumber and other articles that might be wanted; but have been afraid that the Americans will take off the Embargo. Knowing that they can furnish those articles necessary for the colonies at a cheaper rate than they can do, and if they should attempt the prosecution of such voyages, by the time they could arrive at the Islands, the embargo would be off, and the Islands filled with American produce, and they must be making losing voyages; and further they are about to petition Parliament to lay restrictions on Americans for six months, after she takes off the one she has laid—that they can prosecute their intended voyages with assurance of a market. I have also learned that the windward islands are universally supplied with six months or more provisions. The planters also say the Embargo has had a good tendency in some respects, for it has learnt them by experiments which they never should have tried, that they can feed their negroes at a much cheaper rate than to buy our corn and corn meal second handed from the town merchants, at the enormous price of from thirty to fifty pounds currency per hhd. for by planting ten or fifteen acres of ground for provisions, it nets them double in case what they would do after being made into sugars, and sold to buy their provisions. They have also sent negroes into the mountains (which abound with large wood) for the purpose of getting staves for sugar hds, and I heard a planter say, that he had not used five thousand staves for the whole of last crop exclusive of what his negroes made in the mountains.—So that we must see that our great and glorious Embargo has had all the ill effects that it could impose on our inveterate enemy the English, and we must further see, that if continued, the greatest evils is yet to be incurred on ourselves. If it should be taken off to-morrow, and we to suffer for only what it has occasioned, the embarrassments as to our future trade are too numerous to be detailed. The Spaniards will furnish them with almost all the articles with which they have been heretofore furnished from America—and the longer we keep the Embargo on, the greater encouragement is held out
to the Spaniards; and it is certain that Portuguese and Spanish America can produce every article that is raised in the United States. The British settlements in North America are abundantly able to supply their colonies with every kind of lumber, as well as salted fish and several other necessaries. To remedy the evils which our non-importation act has had on the English, they have all South America and the Spanish Islands to become their purchasers instead of the United States. There is a free trade also open between the French and English Islands for all English manufactures, and the produce of the French Islands, or cash in payment.
A commercial friend at Matanzas, has transmitted us the following Memorial, presented by the Americans at Havanna, to the Marquis De Someruelos, Governor of that place, on the 16th instant. We do not learn that the Marquis made any reply to the Memorial; he had, however, consented to its publication— Charleston Times. To his excellency the Marquis de Someruelos, Governor, Captain-General, &c. &c.
At a period so essential as the present, when your excellency's attention is fully engaged in important affairs of a much nearer interest, it is with extreme regret that we the undersigned citizens of the United States of America, now in Havanna, find ourselves again called upon to intrude on your excellency's notice.
With great deference and respect, we would beg leave to address your excellency upon a subject involving the honour of our country, as well as our individual peace. Well knowing the equity, justice and liberality, with which the government of this island is administered, we feel the more freedom in addressing your excellency.—Within a short period, two publications have appeared in this city, one of which, taken from the Louisiana Gazette, has been published in the Aurora. We would here wish respectfully to represent to your excellency, that the sentiments therein contained, so far from being those of the people, have produced a prosecution against (Mr. Maury) the publisher thereof; the other, said to be an intercepted letter from the Prime Minister of the Emperor Napoleon, to the chief officer of our government, in which it has been insinuated, that the embargo now existing in the ports of the United States, has been laid for the purpose of assisting the French government in their unjust and wicked attempts to seize on the empires of Europe, and to starve their different American colonies. From the knowledge we possess of the government of our own country, of the sentiments of its real native citizens, and their enthusiastic attachment to independence, and above all, to national honour, now so inanimously slandered by the insinuations contained in this supposed to be intercepted letter, we are induced, without hesitation, to pronounce it a forgery.
We would beg leave to appeal to your excellency for the peaceful and orderly conduct our countrymen, during the many years they have frequented this port, arising less from a consciousness of its being their true interest, than from a strong attachment to the subjects of his Catholic majesty; and especially to his American subjects, whose proximity to our shores, naturally increases the bond of interest and attachment.
At an epoch like the present, we would represent to your excellency the sentiments which pervade the breasts of all true Americans towards the Spanish nation, now engaged in the same great and glorious case of rescuing their country from the grasp of usurpation and tyranny, in which, but a few years past, our fathers fought and conquered, and in which they were aided by the generous magnanimity of the august grand-father of the beloved Ferdinand, whom we pray God, may be speedily restored to his natural and loving subjects. We may confidently assert that the sympathy, glowing in the breasts of every true American, towards the patriots of Spain, is a sure and certain pledge of the interest they take in their glorious cause, and is in direct contradiction to the base and infamous calumny endeavoured to be fixed upon us. We further beg leave to state to your excellency, by whatever cause our government may have been actuated, in embargoing the ports of the United States, (of which, it cannot be expected we should be fully informed) nevertheless so confident are we of the patriotism and independence of the great body of the people, and of the officers appointed by them, we cannot but believe, that the government of the United States were actuated solely by a tenacious regard to the welfare of our country, which was at that time so materially affected by edicts of the belligerent powers of Europe.
Whatever difference of opinion may exist in the United States, as respects the Embargo Law, it is only as it regards the peculiar interests of the United States, entirely separate from those of other nations; or if in discussion on the law, in our own country, its effects on foreign nations is brought into view, as has recently occurred.
Your excellency must be convinced, by a reference to our numerous Gazettes, that its continuance is more especially lamented at this time, on account of the peculiar situation in which the Spanish nation is placed, by the perfidy and tyranny of the great enemy of the world. Our rulers may have erred in the measures adopted to benefit their country; they have been misled—but never will we believe, that they would expose the honour and independence of their country to so heavy a stigma, as bending to the dictates of any foreign nation whatever. Such are the sentiments of all true Americans; and as such, we beg leave to solicit your excellency to give them publicity, as we flatter ourselves it may do away the effects of the publication and letter before mentioned, which we fear may prove prejudicial to the mutual good understanding
now existing between the individuals of the Spanish and American nations.
We also beg leave to present our warmest wishes for the success of the Spanish arms, and our sincere congratulations upon those glorious achievements, of which we have already received accounts. We present to your excellency our wishes for your own personal happiness, and return our sincere thanks for the liberal and hospitable attention manifested towards us, as well as to all other foreigners; and hope, that your excellency may live many years in the enjoyment of the government, whose subjects so happily feel the benefits of your mild and just administration.

PROPOSALS For Publishing by Subscription, A TRANSLATION OF THE MESSIAH, In English blank verse; an Epic Poem, written originally in the German Language, by Mr. Klopstock, so justly celebrated by the Literati of Europe as "the Milton of Germany" who is considered to have completed what that favourite son of the British muse had left unfinished. This work will be published in numbers, each of which shall comprise one book; to be delivered to subscribers every two months. It will be printed in octavo, on good dumpy paper, and with a hands-me type, sewed. The price to those who choose to patronize the work, will be fifty cents for each number, payable in advance. When the last book is completed, the names of the subscribers will be added. To non-subscribers, the price will be sixty-two and a half cents. It shall be put to press as soon as eight hundred subscribers offer. The translator flatters himself that a work which cannot possibly wound the feelings of any political party or religious sect, and whose chief tendency is to promote the grand cause of Christianity, will meet the favourable smiles of all those who are desirous to promote the real interests of religion and virtue. It will possess one merit at least, in the eyes of some, being the production of a native American, and citizen of the United States. Subscriptions received at the Ledger Office. S. Halling, A. M.

MR. LEROY ANDERSON'S REMOVAL.

In this Academy, young ladies will be taught all the bran- ches more immediately conducive to mental improvement, and those ornamental accomplishments which are deemed so necessary that they have become an almost indispensable part of female education.

DR. ROBERTSON'S Celebrated Stomachick Elixir of Health.
Which has proved by experience, to be the most valuable medicine, ever yet offered to the publick for curing the Gon- Crank, and wind in the Stomach: also a certain cure for the Dysentery, or Bloody Flux, Cholera Morbus, severe Grip- pings, and all other diseases of the bowels, a dose never fails to remove a cold if it is taken soon after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, fevers at the stomach, severe head- ache, &c. &c.
The following certificates are selected from the many re- spectable ones lately received by the proprietor, and are now in his possession.
Certificate of Mr. William Julion, carpenter and builder, No. 53, South Fifth-Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—My wishes to promote the interest of superior merit, and to assist contribution to the afflicted, induces me to request you will lay my case before the publick, as an in- contestible proof of the astonishing efficacy of Dr. Robert- son's invaluable Stomachick Elixir of Health.
I do hereby certify, that I was seized most violently with the dysentery, or bloody flux, which reduced me to such that I was confined to my bed, and became so weak that I could not move without assistance. My situation at that time became seriously alarming, as no relief could be obtained, I was given over, and even death would have been desirable to me, had not a friend of mine, who by chance called to see me, who had just recovered from a similar complaint, though not so severe as mine. He informed me that he was cured by tak- ing Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and advised me to send to you for a bottle. I immediately did so, and by following your instructions given with the bottle, before I had taken half a bottle, I found myself much relieved, and my disorder greatly abated, and by continuing to take it, in one week I was able to walk out, and in less than a fortnight was able to attend to my business.
I therefore recommend every family to be provided with this invaluable medicine, particularly those who live at a distance from the city, where assistance cannot be immedi- ately obtained. As I am convinced that Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, is the most effectual remedy in the world, I have since recommended it to several of my friends in similar complaints, who have always been relieved immediately after taking it. Should any person with to be more fully convinced of my case, I will with pleasure ex- plain it to them by applying to me. I am with a due sense of the benefit I have received thro' the efficacy of your medicine, Sir, your humble servant, WM JULION.
Mr. DYOIT, Philadelphia, July 15th, 1807.
Certificate of Mr. George Stokes, South Water Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—For the benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you that Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, has been to me, one of the most effectual service. I had been a long time afflicted with a pain in my stomach, and continued head aches, attended with a sickness at the stomach, which brought on a vomiting and lax, which continued on me until I became in a very weak state, without being able to get any relief, until I tried one bottle of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which entirely cured my disorder, except a weariness and want of appetite, for which I have since taken Dr. Robert- son's Stomachick Wine Bitters, which quite relieved my strength and appetite, and I now enjoy better health than I experienced for many months before. As I consider your me- dicines to have been the means of saving my life, I desired you to publish my case for the benefit of others, who by abiding by the directions given with your invaluable medicines, will embrace the same means by which I have happily effect- ed my recovery. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE STOKES.
Mr. DYOIT, Philadelphia, August 1, 1807.
ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. Of Mr. John T. Solomon, Sixth near Race-Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—For the good of the publick and benefit of the af- flicted, I think proper to inform you, that having laboured for upwards of six months, under a very bad cough, attended with a difficulty of breathing, pains in my breast and side, and a sickness at my stomach, having lost all appetite, I became so very much reduced in my strength as to be unable to work. I was considered in a consumption, and given up for a lost man. In this hopeless situation I had recourse to Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and to my great astonishment, before I had taken one bottle, found myself very much relieved. I expected a great quantity of phlegm, which has eased me of one of the most violent coughs that ever man had; I have taken it regularly ever since, and now find myself completely recovered, and shall certainly, for the benefit received, recommend it as far as I can, believing it to be a most effectual medicine in the above complaint. I am, Sir, with great respect, Your obliged humble servant, JOHN T. SOLOMON.
Mr. T. W. DYOIT. August 22.
Certificate of Mr. John Lee, Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR—By the administration of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, and that the publick may be acquainted with the good effect I have received from it, I wish you to publish the following:
About a fortnight ago I was seized with the influenza, or a violent cold attended with a pain in my limbs, and a violent cough, which settled on my lungs, and having been for some time before in a weakly state, I expected a consumption would soon have followed, had I not been advised to try Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which has effectually removed my complaint, and I now feel better health than I have for some time before. It is impossible to say too much in favour of this invaluable medicine, as I am clearly convinced it is the most effectual remedy ever offered to the publick, in the above complaint. I am, Sir, your obliged servant, JOHN LEE.

RUN-AWAY from the Subscriber on the 26th Decem- ber last, a Mulatto Man named TONEY, a Black- smith by trade; he is about 24 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high—had on when he went away a dark cloth suit coat and pantaloons—his right foot has been broken, which causes him to limp, and is much larger than the other—He travelled in the stage from Edenton to Suffolk, the 28th Dec- ember last. I have understood he went by the name of Benjamin James while in Suffolk—I expect he will endea- vour to pass as a free man. The above reward will be given to any person who will secure him in any jail so that I get him again, and all reasonable charges paid if delivered to me in Plymouth, North-Carolina. JOHN WALKER. August 26.
NOTICE is hereby given, That two
runaway slaves were committed to the jail of North- ampton county in the month of August last past; the one named GEORGE, 5 feet 7 inches high, of a dark complex- ion and full face, formerly belonging to Mr. John Watdey of the county of Northampton; he says he belongs to a Mr. John Trower of Richmond county in Virginia; but it is un- derstood that he has made other representations concerning the person to whom he belongs, and it was supposed that he belonged to some person in North Carolina or to the South- ward. His clothing is of country manufacture and alto- gether of cotton.
The other of the said two slaves is a woman named BET- TY, passing for the wife of the said George, she is 4 feet 11 inches high, of a dark complexion, new far advanced in preg- nancy, and presumably belonging to the same person with the said George; but she has always refused to make any disclosure concerning her master or his residence. She was almost destitute of clothing when committed to jail, so that no distinctive description can be given thereof, but has been since furnished with plain and warm clothing suitable to her condition. The owner is requested to come and prove his property, pay the lawful charges and take the said slaves away; otherwise they will be disposed of, as the law directs. John Snead, Jailer of Accomack County. Oct. 21, 1803.
