N. B.—NICHOLAS G. DUFIE, respectfully invites the Ladies and Gentlemen, ambitious to learn the French, to agree with some of their friends or acquaintances, desirous of receiving lessons in that universal and improved language, to meet at the same hour and place for mutual instruction—they may be assured it will be to their advantage to do so, if they persevere with attention the following.
To the Lovers of the French Language.
ADDRESS.
IN an age when successful efforts have been made towards the improvement of the art of Thinking, and when Analysis has been discovered the universal, and sole good method to improve all sciences, and receive instruction in them, it may be a matter of astonishment that it has not been yet generally embraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning. The extraordinary rise and progress of Chemistry, within a very few years, are entirely due to analysis; but there is an art on which it should have first darted its beneficial rays, I allude to the Teaching of Languages. In fact, Nature, this excellent analyst, was before our eyes guiding children in learning the language of their mother, and no child ever failed in acquiring it, profiting surprisingly by her unerring lessons. Fully convinced by reason and experience, that the same method the purists should be followed as nearly as possible, I adopted, in the course of my instructions, such books established on principles that least deviated from her simple dictates. I soon perceived that the method acquired from these aids was but a very irregular and imperfect Analysis—therefore, resolved though with a very small confidence in my slender abilities, but animated with zeal for the improvement of those who may wish to learn French from me, to undertake the laborious and arduous task of writing a work-grounded on Analytical principles, which might comprehend what is wished for by those employing themselves to the study of the living languages, and am happy to say, I have now nearly concluded it. It consists of three parts.
The first, is a chosen Vocabulary of words most frequently used in speech, containing 2,500—the most natural acceptation of each is determined by a phrase prefixed to it.
The second, contains the French verbs, both regular and irregular, from a new system in which the principal difficulties attending conjugation are first explained, and observations given on the use of each tense, illustrated by proper examples, so as to enable the learner to express himself with precision.
The third, is a complete list of those words servant de lien, ou de complement de sens entre les autres paroles du discours : that is to say—forming the link or completion of sense between the other parts of speech, whose principal use is to establish in speech that connection between words, which already exists in the mind between ideas. I have also fully determined the sense and acceptation of these important words (which are divided into appropriate classes to fix them the easier in the memory) by annexing to each examples in French and English.
As I do not intend to publish the above, for some time, and in order, nevertheless, that my pupils may reap the same advantage without it, I hasten to inform those who may be induced to put themselves under my care, that half the time of school (the other half being devoted to other exercises) will be employed in exercising them in the following manner:
We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word of which will be pronounced in English then in French, to be repeated by one or more of the scholars; and a similar repetition of the phrases before mentioned will follow.
It is worthy of observation, that in our infancy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pronunciation of our vernacular tongue, by pronouncing word by word; and Analysis accomplishes what remains to be done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Gramarians to attain this object are a most useful to us, and still more so to the foreigners, struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation of a language with the help of dictionaries and Grammar alone. Though I conceive my scholars may attain in the above manner, the accurate pronunciation of the French language, yet strict attention is paid to their reading in approved authors before we begin the foregoing exercises.
I will pursue nearly the same method in imparting to them the contents of the two other divisions of my work. I cannot conclude this address without thanking my Fellow-Citizens for the liberal encouragement I have experienced from them, these six years past, in my professional career, presuming that I may be permitted to say, that I have not been altogether undeserving of it.

The Frenchman
WHO refused to give up a STOLEN POINTER DOG when demanded of him on Wednesday morning last about seven o'clock, by the servant of the owner, at the corner of Arch and Sixth streets, is desired to send him to the office of this Gazette, or diligent search will be made after him, and he will be prosecuted as the thief. The Dog is white, excepting a ye low spot on his back, one ye low ear, and two or three ye low spots on his forehead—the other ear is speckled—he is very poor and hip shot. An handsome reward will be given for the dog, and Five Dollars on conviction of the thief. The Frenchman is a tall thin man, of a complexion very dark, and dressed in black clothes (excepting a striped blue and white gingham coatee)—he was seen with the dog in company with a short fat man, in a room near Seventh street, on Sunday afternoon last. august 28 d 4t 38

Late FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
[By arrivals at Boston and N. York.] LONDON, July 12. The Cles du Cabinet, Paris paper, asserts, that the Emperor in answer to Buonaparte's proposition, has proposed an armistice for a year; but that the French insist on renew- ing the war unless a speedy and solid peace be concluded. The German Minister is not disposed to make peace. The number of British troops ordered into the Mediterranean, is thought to prove that Ministers are assured of the determina- tion of the Emperor to renew the war. It being supposed these troops are to join the Austrian army in Italy.
July 15. The French army in Germany have now reached the very ground they possessed in 1796, when Jourdan was defeated and Mo- reau was obliged to retreat. The French occupied every place as fast as the Austrians retreated. On the 23d & 24th ult. they took possession of Giengen, Heidenheim, the valley of the Brenz, Alen, Eislengen, Swabian Gemund, and Geillingen.
July 16. The French minister of war has issued a proclamation to cause the conscripts not yet assembled, to join the army. It is full of menacing language against the powers hos- tile to France.
July 17. We have inserted a copy of the convention of 1793, and of that of 1800. The former was broken. The last does not pledge the emperor so far as the former. In the last the government of Austria and Eng- land, promise not to lay down their arms, unless by common consent; not to make a separate peace, but by previous and express consent of each other; not to receive of- fers of peace without communicating them with openness. If the former strong bond was unable to hold the Emperor, what can be expected from the slighter.
July 21. It is said that accounts in possession of Government, state that Buonaparte in a speech on the 14th of July, said, "if the propositions for peace were not acceded to, he would again put himself at the head of his invincible army, and in a fortnight com- pel the enemy to treat."
Ministers, by proposing to pay the Em- peror a subsidy of two millions, exhibit a confidence in the continuance of war. The negotiations with the emperor can- not be broken off as hostilities have not been renewed in Italy. It is not yet de- clared whether the government in Italy is to be republican or monarchical; and the idea of the restoration of the king of Sar- dinia is not wholly excluded. If Buonaparte sincerely wishes for peace he will not at- tempt to revolutionize a single district more than was agreed upon at the treaty of Cam- po Formio.
By the last accounts from Moreau, every thing was in preparation for an assault on Ulm, which is not expected to make much resistance. The Duke De Levi, who commanded a regiment at Quiberon, has been permitted to return to France, and has recovered some of his former property.
A letter from General Lecourbe, to his brother in Paris, dated head-quarters, Hochstedt, 2d Messidor, (June 21st,) says. "I have now, my brother, avenged the names of the French beaten at Hoch- stedt in 1704. I forced a passage on the Danube at Blintem (the enemy having cut down all the bridges of that river.) I to- tally defeated them, took five standards, fifteen pieces of cannon, with a number of carriages, baggage, magazines, &c. I en- tered Donawerth, Dillingen, Lavingen, Gundelingen, &c. and by that cut off all communication with the enemy's army be- fore Ulm. It is one of the greatest actions of the war."
They write from Madrid, that orders had been given for several regiments to re- pair to the frontiers of Portugal. Great apprehensions are entertained of the plague, which now rages at Ceuta.
John Duncan, one of the crew of the Hermione, concerned in the murder of the Captain, &c. was condemned to death, at London, on the 2d July. Two others were in custody, and were to be tried im- mediately.
A Portsmouth article of the 5th says— "The America of 64 guns, with Sir Wm. Parker's flag on board, as commander in chief of the American station has within these few last days, passed this port, with a considerable number of merchantmen."
The Royal Society of Copenhagen have proposed as a prize question, "who were the people who discovered America previ- ously to the Norwegians, and how far southward the discoveries of that people extend?"—Respecting this question, the Norwegians are said to be possessed of many curious documents.
It is said, that on the Union with Ire- land becoming an operative system his Ma- jesty will certainly take the title of Empe- ror of the British Isles.
The late French General Delfaux was a young man of very promising talents, and of noble extraction. He was nephew to Count Montlosier, the present conductor of
a periodical publication in London, and two of his brothers are officers in the emigrant corps of Conde.
PARIS, July 16. On the two angles of the legislative palace, we now read "Concorde, the Republic, Liberty." We think room should have been found for the word "Equality,"—It was afterwards inserted.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NORFOLK, September 2. By the arrival of the Friends, Captain Steed, we have received positive accounts of the flight of Rigaud from St. Domingo. He had previously loaded an armed brig with his treasures, which had sailed and Ri- gaud escaped with a number of his officers from Les Irois.
The crew of the Constellation are very sickly with the flux. She was hourly ex- pected at the Cape, to get a new rudder. By the Schooner John, from St. Jago, we learn that one of Rigaud's Generals had arrived there with a number of passengers, but the Governor refused to let them land; it is unknown where they went to after- wards.
There were several British ships of war cruizing off St. Jago.
NEW-YORK, September 8.
For the Daily Advertiser. I was in great hopes that it would have been altogether unnecessary, again to recal for a moment to the public mind, the distress- ing idea of Yellow Fever. In the course of the last week however, there have occurred in the practice of the physicians of this city, a good many pretty severe bilious cases and some of these as is usual, have been magnified into those of the very worst sort. Since my last communication to the public, there have been reported to me, or otherwise come to my knowledge, eleven cases, which were believed to be of a suspicious nature, a few of which bore strong and unequivocal marks of this fatal disease—and out of this number four have actually died, under all the dreadful symptoms of complete Yellow Fever. These were:—
Peter Graham, in Magazine Street, Mrs. Mary Vanvel, 42 Stone Street, William Parcell, Hester Street, and An apprentice of Mr. George Warner's in Cedar Street, who died this day at 11 o'clock.
The citizens notwithstanding this list, ought not to think it yield to undue appre- hension or alarm, since the great proportion of fever cases which now prevail, carry with them the character of the true Autumn- al Remittent Fever, accompanied at the onset by pretty high inflammatory symp- toms. As far as my enquiries have been able to inform me, the whole number of those who either have been sick of yellow fever, or who have died of that disease this season, do not amount to one fourth of the who died or recovered of it in New York, in the year 1791.
Calculating from ordinary circumstances and natural causes, we have no reason to fear the prevalence of a sweeping Epidemic this season.
Calculating in like manner, from ordinary circumstances, and natural causes, we have no reason to expect less than some solitary and fatal instances of Yellow Fever, before the sickly season comes to a close.

DIED]—On Friday evening the 5th inst. after a few weeks illness, Mr. Samuel Scott, of Virginia, Student of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, aged 22 years. A young man beloved by all who knew him; of a free and cheerful disposition, and possessed of accomplishments which will ever endear his name as a worthy member of society.
So bloom'd thy youth—hope drew the flattering plan, And traced thy virtues, ripening into man. Grac'd thee with all that loveliness of mind, That various worth which dignifies mankind; But ah! to us such blessings are denied, The grave's cold womb receives our early pride; Our morning sun is veil'd in midnight gloom, And hope lies buried in his early tomb.

The following is an extract of a letter from Captain Mallouny, received by a gentle- man in this city yesterday.
Ship of War Ganges, off New Castle September 7, 1800.
"I have lost a few of my people with the fever off the West Indies, among others young Mc'Connell (Midshipman) is no more. He lived and died a favourite, and would have been a bright ornament in our Navy. Thus, as is often the case, the best are taken first. Communicate this melancholy cir- cumstance to his parents, in as delicate a manner as you can. I would write myself but the shock would be too sudden."
It is well known that the profligate Lou- vet was the author of "Faublas" and many other shameless romances in which all re- verence to modesty and marriage laws was openly abjured. This loathsome Lecher, the advocate for French divorce, the patient of French dissate, and the favorite of Jaco- bins, French and American, is well descri- bed in the subsequent lines.
Yes, hapless Louvet, where thy bones are laid The easy nymphs shall consecrate the shade. There, in the laughing morn of genial spring, Unwedded pairs shall tender couples sing, Ervinges o'er the hollow'd spots shall bloom, And Flies of Spain buzz softly round thy tomb.
The following is a sharp and two edged farce upon the pedant Roland, a poli- tician very much like our Jefferson, and up- on Roland's wife, a French strumpet, very much like any other easy nymph of the back sliding sisterhood.
"But hold,—severer virtue claims the muse— Roland the just—with ribbands in his shoes; And Roland's spouse, who paints with chaste delight The doubtful conflict of her nuptial night; Her virgin charms what fierce attacks shall'd And how the rigid Minister prevail'd."
Such was the frigidness of this Minis- ter's republican principles that he positively refused to go to Court in Shoe Buck es!— So that virtuous, disinterested, peaceable and insolvent republican, Sl. Adams expressed his indignation in a Court of Justice, because the Judges wore Scarlet robes, and hated a British officer, because he wore a red uni- form; for scarlet and purple, are vile aristo- cratical hues, and therefore hateful to a low-bred tax gatherer.
† See Madame Roland's Memoirs where the Lady herself describes her latent charms, and the joys of matrimonial embrace, with a minuteness of detail and a glow of ex- pression, not unworthy of the modest histo- rian of the exploits of Fanny Hill.

MR WAYNE,
If you think the following extraordinary character will add to the entertainment of your readers, you will please to give it a place in your paper.
"LA MAUPIN."
A French finger in the 17th Century, was one of the numerous instances, in which a stage heroine, fortified by public favour and presuming on the magic of a melodious voice, defied the laws and institutions of a country by which she was supported, and committed, with impunity, crimes which would have doomed a common unaccomplish- ed desperado to ignominious death.
This romantic and indecorous adventurer, for I hesitate to call her a female, who dress, fought, made love, and conquered, like a man, having been married at an early age, fortunately for her husband Monsieur Mau- pin, quitted him a few months after their nuptials, for the superior attractions of a fencing-master, who taught her the use of the small sword, a weapon which she after- wards handled with destructive dexterity against many antagonists.
In an excursion from Paris to Marseilles, her performance in a favorite piece was re- ceived with admiration and the most extra- vagant applause, and, strange to tell, she won the affections of a beautiful young woman, the only child of a wealthy mer- chant in that city, prevailed on the infatua- ted girl, to elope with her in the night from the father's house, and being pursued, took refuge in a convent. The rigid discipline and correct intercourse of such a society, did not suit the views and temper of La Maupin; she was alarmed by certain reli- gious doubts and scruples, suggested by the fair fugitive, who began to repent of her rash and unwarrantable conduct, in quitting her father's house, with all that was decent or respectable in society, for a female bravo, whom she dreaded, and submitted to, rather than loved.
Interrupted in her designs, and irritated by opposition, this theatrical miscreant for a time hid herself in the building, which had so hospitably sheltered her, and in the general confusion, securing by force her unhappy victim, fled to a sequestered village, where they were concealed for several weeks; but the country being alarmed by such flagrant enormity, a diligent search took place, the offender was traced to her retreat, and seized, after a stout resistance, in which she killed one of the officers of justice, and dangerously wounded two others.
The fair but frail Marleidaite was re- served to her afflicted parents, and La Maupin, a notorious murderer, a seducer of inno- cence, and an incendiary, was condemned to be burnt alive; but this tyren, whose tones enchanted every hearer, while the poison of asps was within her lips, had secured such powerful intercessors, that the execution of her sentence was delayed; and, I relate with regret, that an abominable and profligate woman escaped the punishment she deserv- ed.
From infamy and fetters she hurried to Paris, was received with raptures at the opera, but could not take off the character- istic audacity of her former deportment. In a crowded theatre, conceiving herself affront- ed by Dumenils, a favorite actor, remarka- ble for mild temper and inoffensive man- ners, she rushed on the stage, poured fourth a torrent of abuse on the poor man, interrupt- ed the entertainment, and canced him in the face of the audience. This indignity was submitted to without a murmur, and basking in the warm sunshine of public patronage, she exercised for several years a capricious and insulting tyranny over princes, magi- strates, managers, and people.
At a ball given by a prince of the blood, in the reign of Louis the fourteenth, La Maupin insolently paraded the rooms in men's clothes, and treating a lady of distinc- tion with indecency, was called out, at differ- ent times, by three gentlemen, each of whom the run through the body; yet, such was the public infatuation, or so polluted at that period the fountain of justice, that this hell- hound, whose existence was a libel on the laws of nature and humanity, again was pardoned.
Under the impulse of prevalent fashion, peculiar taste, vicious caprice, or a combina- tion of appetite and curiosity, the Elector of Bavaria made her proposals, which she accepted, and for a short time insulted the inhabitants of his capital, as an appendage to the loose pleasures of their foreigner. But the reign of a prostitute, which can only be prolonged by discreet management and gentle conduct, was rapidly shortened by the eccentricities of a ferocious virago, who stripping from infamy the thin veil of exterior decency, soon disgusted her lover.
Though callous to crime, the German Prince shrunk from absurdity, and after the violence of passion had subsided, resolved to dismiss a woman so grossly deficient in those indispensable female requisites, delicacy, de- corum, and softness, which I hear so many young men, reeling from the stews, lament the want of in those select circles.
After debauching the principles, imposing on the understandings, and deluding the per- sons of the wretched dupes, ought gentle- men to be disappointed in finding them be- reft of those endearing qualities? When a midnight ruffian has violated the nocturnal security of their houses, they might, with equal propriety, expect to find in their plundered cabinets, a gold repeater or a brilliant diamond.
The fatiated Elector, with a mixture of cruelty and kindness, sent La Maupin a purse of forty thousand livres, by the hus- band of a new mistress, who informed her, that a carriage was at the door, in which she must immediately quit the capital. The enraged courtesan threw the purse at the

messenger's head, showed him a cock and a scoundrel, told him his insignificance protected him, that she would not disgrace her sword with the blood of such a contemptible rascal, and kicked him down stairs. The applause of a Parian circle again soothed her chagrin; as old age and infirmity came on, she quitted the stage and associated with her forsaken husband; who, in her accumulation of wealth, overlooked his domestic disgrace. After a life of impudence, licentiousness, and flagitious enormity, this horrible female was comforted in her last moments by an indulgent priest, who, from gratitude or conviction, thus replied to certain doubts and questions, naturally arising in the breast of so great a sinner: "Your peace is made with God; and although you have been a late labourer in the vineyard, you shall sleep in Abraham's bosom."
If this story impress the reader in the same manner it has done your correspondent, he must discover in the character of La Maupin, a strong likeness in miniature, or rather an epitome, of the French Republic. Crimes enormous; not to be matched in the page of history, too long triumphant in both;—an Almighty Providence slow, though wise as will appear at last, in punishing the horrid criminal—and perhaps, to finish the parallel, the political strumpet may expire as peaceably, in a mild, mixed monarchy, as the natural one did in the arms of an indulgent husband. But, however this may be, I thank God in believing, there is not a spot on this globe, but France, capable of producing such another plant of Hell as either.
Extract of a letter from New-England. "I understand from some of the newspapers that Mr. Abercrombie, one of your Episcopal Clergymen, has in a sermon, cautioned the people against "ever placing at the head of civil society a man, who is not an avowed Christian, and an exemplary believer in our Holy Religion;" in consequence of which, he has drawn down the vengeance of all the Jacobins, and among the rest their redoubtable champion, Duane. Why Mr. Abercrombie should be attacked more than other Clergymen, I cannot conceive. Do not the Clergy in Pennsylvania generally do the same? I confess I think it their duty, and I remember reading an Extract from a Sermon, preached by Dr. Wharton of Burlington, on the 4th day of July last, in which he was very pointed on this subject, and alluded to Mr. Jefferson personally, yet against Dr. Wharton, nothing has been uttered, and here, we are always cautioned by our Pastors against such characters as Mr. J. and no person, in his sense, thinks of objecting to it. In my opinion the station in which Clerical Gentlemen are placed, compels them to oppose all irreligious and immoral people, but above all Atheists and Deists."
Extract of a letter from Capt. Rutherford of the ship Brutus lately captured and carried into Halifax, to his owners at Newbury-port dated
HALIFAX, August 14, 1800. "The Brutus is unloaded and waiting trial, which will be on the 21st inst. As the cargo exactly corresponds with the invoice, it appears more in my favor. But the Attorney-General has so much influence with the Judge, and Court of Admiralty that there is but little prospect of the ship being cleared."
"The gift of this month John Diale , of Cape Ann, and Ebenezer Stanwood of Portland, both native Americans, and having protection's deserted the ship and entered on board the privateer Earl of Dublin , which sailed last Sunday; to cruise in the mouth of the South channel to intercept American vessels. John Diale , was boatswain's mate on board the Merrimack on her first cruise."
"Admiral Parker arrived here yesterday from England to take the command on this station. It is expected that some change will take place in the court of Admiralty. An American war is much talked of."—[Fudge.]
We are informed by the most respectable authority, says a London paper of the 21st July, that the state of Buonaparte's health would not permit him any longer to remain with the army, and he has returned to Paris to undergo a surgical operation for the fistula. At the battle of Marengo he could only occasionally appear in it, not being able to sit on horseback more than a half an hour without some relief.
A London Paper contains a letter from an officer at the Cape of Good Hope, dated in March last, wherein he states, that he encountered a storm, in which he had "his shirt blown in pieces from his back!"—And adds curiously enough, that it was great mercy it had not also "blown away his skin!"—This we suppose, is a relation of Baron Munchausen.
From the New-York Gazette.
CASE OF CONSCIENCE. I have heard the author of Serious Considerations , &c. on the supposition of his being a clergyman, blamed for meddling with what did not belong to his profession. But in my opinion this judicious and pious writer has solved a new and important case of conscience. Suppose one of his hearers who was a member of the legislature and expected to vote for electors, or who was himself an elector, should address him in the following manner: "I believe Mr. Jefferson to be a Deist; at least I have such suspicions of him as I cannot banish from my mind. I know that there is nothing in the constitution which prevents my voting for a Deist or a Mahometan. Can I consistently
with my profession and obligations as a Christian give my vote for him?" This is properly a case of conscience, and has nothing to do with the political sentiments of my party. It is a question which must naturally arise in the breast of every sincere Christian who is engaged in the momentous transaction of electing a chief magistrate. Were the government of the United States not elective, or were the election is once made, the Christian religion enjoins submission, and respect. But the questions, whether a Christian may of his own choice, and by his free vote, place an avowed enemy to his Lord in this high & influential station? The question has seldom if ever occurred before in the world. The author of " Serious Considerations ," if he be a clergyman, was perfectly in the line of his duty when he discussed it; and, in my opinion, Christians are obliged to him for his clear and satisfactory solution.

ORIGINAL POETRY. —No. VII.—
THE OATH. By the look of consent, by the glistening tear, That spoke to my soul in a language divine; By the rubies that glow'd on the lips of my fair When, with rapture, transported I prest them to mine. By the throbbings, that wav'd on her bosom of snow, By the blushes that mantling, vermilion'd her cheek, When afraid to say yes—and all loth to say no She sigh'd what her tongue was unable to speak. By the smiles, that enlivend her elegant face When she saw, that I CONSTRAUED THOSE BLUSHERS SO WELL When she saw that Love's eye could each character trace, And read on her heart, what her tongue wou'd not tell. By that heart, sensibility's favorite shrine, Where innocence, virtue, and truth fix their throne, By these let me swear that this bosom of mine Is fill'd with thy image, my —, alone! But stop, silly Damon, 'tis needless to swear When arguments stronger thy fondness can prove, Dost thou doubt, my dear girl, that my passion's sincere, Yon Mirror will shew you a pledge of my love.
FROM THE CHIRPING GOBLER
TO TOM THE TINKER. HOW darest thou wretch! insult the poor, By offering me a bribe; I would not darken, Tom thy door, For all the Demo Tribe. Think on the part you're bound to act, And think where all will end; Think, while you make a thousand foes, You will not gain a friend. You said the Federal cause was good, Yet you that cause forsak'd; 'Gainst place and sycophants you rail'd, And yet a place you took. Of Jacobins how ill you spoke, With whom, you now assent: Mc. Kean how oft, have you pourtray'd, Yet to Mc. Kean you went. How could you swear your country's good, Was all your wish, your fear? And how could I, poor doting fool, Believe my Tom sincere. And will thy cold, thy faithless heart Rejoice to see the day, When irreligious Jacobins, Shall bear imperious sway. Riot and slaughter from that hour, With ruin shall commence; While drunken and unlettered fools, Rule learned, men of sense. Thy rival sycophants are now, In secret plan thy ruin: And Coxe and Leib, and Will Duane, All long for thy undoing. Once more attend, Tom mark these well, "Fly thou the wrath to come." So mayst thou find once more thy Friend, And scape impending doom. In lieu of satiric ode, Of kind congratulation, Read thou my heart, such is my mind. With no dissimulation.
ODE.
Great Mac, whene'er thy haughty reign is o'er, When faithless Demos trail in thee no more, And timid Feds no longer fear you; You need not ope your hated door, The coach will pass, that stop'd before, Nor will one Friend come near you. No more e'en Rogues, delight in your good graces, Inform of Feds, and ask of you their places, Or hand their bold petition; Detailing by what trick they have deserved, How many honest men turned out have starved, For Federal opposition; With vapouring, Gall, and hateful spleen o'recast, Reflect on Jacobinic action pass, With sorrow and contrition; While horrid Phantoms sit before your eyes, Believe each disappointment from the flies! For venal, curs'd ambition; Then hope to see thy fawning tribe no more, The ingrate Rats desert the falling tower, Knaves only follow Power; Hence, Dallas, Coxe, Duane and Leib, And eke the scoundrel, and the lying tribe, Too false to stand to be true; Their scornful finger, point at fallen you; Retorting thy "old Toy," They cry Memine Mori. Alas Poor Tom. Sic transit gloria Mundi!

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 inven- tor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Rich- mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charle- ston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a num- ber 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 bey- ond 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 su- perfluous 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 during most disorders attend- ant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
