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, the southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, 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 a bilious fever, 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 a pernicious bile and prevent it, 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 preferred for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eye, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eye, never failing to cure those miasmatics which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and soon for fully 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 had had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Received at Alexandria, by an arrival from Liverpool.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 26.
The division of the second Admiral Cadir-Bey, failed on the 22nd of this month to join the captain Pacha. We know that the latter has already reached Rhodes.
The flotilla which carried to Otranto 1500 Russian grenadiers under the command of General Bernardin, destined for the service of his Majesty the King of Naples, passed Constantinople on the 17th, and cast anchor at Boujoukore; it will immediately set sail in order to return to Sebastopol.
The Pacha of Nicomedia, appointed commander in chief of the troops sent against the Brigands, and who discharged his mission so badly, was so ignorant of the disposition of the Porte towards him, as to return to Constantinople, where he alighted at the house of the Caimacan, or substitute of the Grand Vizier. The latter received him with apparent friendship and even gave him presents, but having both afterwards gone to the Seraglio to have an audience of the Grand Seigneur, executioners presented themselves at the second gate at the instant when the Pacha dismounted from his horse, and he was immediately beheaded.
We learn that the negotiations for evacuating Egypt, have been renewed between the Grand Vizier and General Kleber; but it is not expected that they will be settled as soon as they were the first time, and the Turks flatter themselves, that the second capitulation of Kleber's troops, in spite of their bravery, will not be quite so advantageous for them as the first. It will be insisted upon, that the French troops, after their arrival in Europe, shall neither fight against the Austrians nor their allies. Hitherto the plague had carried off 2000 of the French troops in Egypt.
BERLIN, June 7.
Various letters from the frontiers of Russia announce, that Kotzebue, the celebrated Dramatic Author, has been arrested at Rival, to which he had gone to settle some private business. He was formerly President of the town of Rival, which he left several years ago, and went to Germany. He resided some time at Vienna, as Director of the Court Theatre, from which he was dismissed last year with a pension of a thousand florins. Letters from Rival say, that he has been transported in a kiba to Petersburg, where he is to be tried.
LIVERPOL, June 30.
Captain Boxburgh, of the brig Juno, from Baltimore, which vessel arrived here on Friday night with a cargo of Flour and Rice was brought to by a French privateer of 24 guns, 9 pounders brass, and all upon one deck. (he being a flush vessel) in lat. 51. 9. N. long. 29. 30. W. They told captain Boxburgh her name was the Joram, but would not say where she belonged to, but captain R. understood she belonged to Bourdeaux—they treated him very politely, taking nothing but newspapers, and told him to proceed on his voyage.
LONDON, July 2.
At a very early hour this morning we received Paris Journals up to the 28th inclusive. They contain very little news, being chiefly occupied with more detailed accounts of the battle of Marengo. Gen. Berthier's official letter reduces the loss of the Austrians in killed to 3000, which is one half of the number first stated. On the 18th of June the French took possession of Tortona, of Alexandria on the 20th, and the citadels of Milan and Turin were surrendered the same day. Genoa also was given up about the 20th, but some dispute is said to have arisen between Lord Keith and the French, on account of 119 ships which were claimed by their lordship, as having entered during the blockade, and for the release of which he demanded 600,000 livres (15,000 sterling.)
We are not told how the business was adjusted, but the character of Lord Keith, both respecting this affair, and his pretended ill treatment of Desaix, when the latter was taken prisoner, is spoken of with an indecent facility, which does very little honor to its authors. General Melas, with the whole of the Austrian army, has marched towards Mantua. The French are sending troops to Lucca, and General Moncey has marched from Brescia to take possession of the Val-teline.
There are no farther official accounts from the army of the Rhine, nor is any thing said respecting the negotiation with the court of Vienna.
There is a report, which is not even credited by the Journalists who have given circulation to it, and which we consider as entitled to no manner of credit, that the English army has failed in an attempt to effect another landing at Quiberon; and that its loss on the occasion, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, amounted to no less than 3000 men.
Policies have been underwritten at Lloyd's at premium of twelve guineas to return one hundred, in case preliminaries of peace are signed between France and Austria within two months; and at a premium of twenty guineas, in case preliminaries are signed between France and England within six months.
On Monday fe'night, a match was rowed for from the gun boat in Cowes Road, round the White Buoy, off the Brambles, and back, for thirty guineas the Fountain boat against the Vine boat, which was won by the latter. On the following day they rowed against the Fountain boat with four taylors, and the Vine boat with four shoemakers, when the latter boat again proved successful. A run-
match afterwards took place, from Castle-hill to Egypt-gate—a lame shoemaker against a lame taylor, with a crutch each, which was also won by the latter.
July 4.
This morning a messenger arrived at the Secretary of State's office with dispatches from Lord Minto, ambassador at the Court of Vienna.—When the messenger left Vienna, a courier had arrived there from Constantinople, with intelligence that the French army under the command of General Kleber had been defeated in Egypt by the Turks.
This morning also arrived the Hamburg mail due on Sunday last. The intelligence it brings from Italy is not so late as a date as to comprehend those events which have produced such a reverse of fortune in that country. The latest date is Roveredo, June 12.
In regard to the armies on the Danube, there are accounts so late as the 19th of June.
A letter from Ulm of that date speaks of an action on the afternoon of the 17th, at Lechheim, near Gunzburg, on the left bank of the Danube, in a level country, where the Imperial cavalry could act with advantage. The result is not mentioned but we are told that on the morning of the 18th 200 French prisoners had arrived in the neighbourhood of Ulm, and that the field of battle was covered with dead bodies. The French on the 18th formed a semicircle on the right bank of the Danube from Illerdissen to Gunzburg. The positions of the Austrians extended from Wurzbach through Biberach to Ulm.
On the 17th ult. the following extraordinary phenomenon was discovered at Copenhagen;—From one till half past two o'clock, P. M. a clear white ring, one degree and an half broad and 86 degrees in diameter, passed through the sun, at the centre, a piece of rainbow coloured ring. Five degrees above this circle two other rings were seen, that appeared to be parts of an imperfectly coloured circle. The celebrated astronomer, Bug e, has lately published his observations upon this subject, adding, that this phenomenon will have no influence upon the future state of the air and weather.
Tuesday morning was fought the long expected battle between Andrew Gamble, an Irishman, and Noah James, formerly belonging to the horse guards, for a stake of 100 guineas, upon Wimbledon Common, at no great distance from the spot where are exhibited the remains of the notorious Aberhawn. There were depending on this match bets to the amount of five thousand pounds. The combatants met about ten o'clock in the morning, Gamble having for his second Benjamin Stoneyard, and Bartholomew for his bottle holder. James's second was Joe Ward and his bottle holder Hall.
The two champions fought with astonishing dexterity, for no less than thirty rounds, when victory at length declared itself in favor of the Irishman. The odds were at starting six to four in favor of James, but after an half an hour's hard fighting, were ten to one in favor of Gamble, who displayed an uncommon degree of science and coolness throughout the whole affair. Gamble is near six feet high, but by no means so stout in his make as his adversary, who was shorter in his stature, but so determined, that he fought seven rounds after his collar-bone had been broken! James vomited a great deal of blood at almost every round towards the conclusion, and was taken for dead from the stage.
James, who is a Cheshireman, is 32 years old. He has fought seventeen pitched battles. The most desperate was that with Wood, of the Guards, for one hour and sixteen minutes. It was a contest of great dexterity. James is very excellent bottom, as the following facts prove: On the 12th round, his nose was broken—on the 20th, his collar bone; on the 25th, his jaw bone; and on the 29th his breist bone. Notwithstanding all these distasters, he fought two rounds afterwards. James was last night given over by his physicians.
Gamble, now called the Wimbledonian Victor, is 29 years of age. He was apprenticed to a stone mason in Dublin. He has fought eighteen pitched battles, with success. His most severe contest was in 1792, with Stoneyard, of Birmingham. They fought at Colchester with great skill and activity for an hour and twenty minutes. They were, however, so completely exhausted, that it was agreed to make it a drawn battle. These heroes of the fist have ever since entertained the utmost friendship for each other; and Stoneyard on the late occasion, acted as second to Gamble, who, in the course of thirty rounds knocked his opponent down seventeen times.

SIR,
Strongly impressed with the many and important services which you have rendered the American commerce, we beg leave at your departure to tender you our united and sincere thanks for the protection which has so universally been given to its trade to this island.
The knowledge of your being about to leave this station would be painful, were we to be guided by personal feelings; but the long and toilsome duties which have been accomplished by you to the honor of the American government and to the satisfaction of its merchants here, point out the propriety of our taking leave of a person whom we consider with the highest esteem and respect.
We have the honor to be,
SIR,
Your most obt. servants.

To Silas Talbot Esq. Commander of the United States ship of war Constitution On the St. Domingo station
Cape Francois, July 20, 1800.
SIR,
Before your departure for the U. States permit me to express to you, the high sense I entertain of the important services you have rendered the American Commerce, during your continuance on this station. The prudent and judicious manner in which you have directed the operation of the squadron under your command, and your vigilance and activity, in protecting the trade to this colony, do honor to you as an officer, at the same time that they add dignity to the American flag.
It is difficult for persons at a distance, unacquainted with the arduous nature of the task imposed on you, to appreciate your services as they merit. But those of your fellow-citizens who, like myself, have had an opportunity of knowing your indefatigable exertions to promote the interests of your country, and make its flag respected, feel it their duty to express their approbation, and offer you their acknowledgments. You are about to leave the station, sir, but, permit me to assure you that you quit it, to the regret of all that know you, and that you carry with you the ardent, and disinterested wishes of all descriptions of people in the colony for your happiness and prosperity.
The friendly counsel, and liberal co-operation I have at all times experienced from you, in conducting the public interests have in a great measure contributed to place our commerce with this colony on its present safe and favourable footing, and to maintain the good understanding which so happily subsists between the two countries. It is this dignified conduct that has impressed the inhabitants of St. Domingo with a high idea of the American character, has conciliated their affections, and produced an attachment to the government of the United States, which in all probability will become lasting and permanent.
I have the honor to remain with sincerest attachment and with the greatest respect and esteem.
Sir, Your most obedient servant. (Signed) EDWARD STEVENS. SILAS TALBOT, Esq. &c. &c.

We are credibly informed, that property to the amount of nearly 800 dollars, was destroyed by the late fire, at Mr. Pennington's Sugar House, which we are happy to learn, will pass but lightly on the worthy Individual, as the whole property (building, as well as Stock in Trade,) were insured by the Insurance Company of North America, a proof of the utility of an Institution, whereby Individuals, for a trifling Premium, may be made perfectly secure, from loss, by fire.
For the 24 hours preceding Wednesday morning at Sun-rise, there were 29 new cases reported at Fell's Point—Whole number sick, 101, exclusive of 15 at the Hospital—In the same 24 hours there were 19 deaths in Baltimore and its vicinity.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Baltimore to his brother in this city, dated August 27.
"Although the number of new cases of sick persons at the Point is considerable, the health of the city remains uncommonly great, as I am informed by all the physicians and old inhabitants I meet with. I confess I felt great confidence that this city will remain healthy, and that business will be good notwithstanding the many false reports circulated abroad."

"The Fever has raged with us for three weeks past—Many have left the town, and but few will venture in from the country. When it will be better God only knows. I reckon it is full as bad here as it was in your city in 1793. Business is totally at a stand." The writer adds that he himself has had the prevailing fever; but applied remedies in the early stage of it and had recovered.
A gentleman who arrived at New York on Tuesday evening from Providence, R. I. informs, that at the time he left that place the yellow fever had made its appearance there with very alarming symptoms. Seven had died, and 14 were sick. It was the prevailing opinion that the fever was communicated by the frigate General Greene, now lying there. The Providence paper of Saturday, received by mail, takes no notice of this circumstance. [We understand letters have been received in this city, confirming the above.]
A letter from Curacoa mentions that the "Vengeance is ready for sea;" and we are happy to add, that Truxton is on the point of weighing anchor. A second meeting" is the general toast."

"We doubt not in the least but that the present negotiation on foot at Paris between the American Commissioners, and this government, will have a happy issue; and that a cordial intercourse between the two countries will shortly take place."
The Baltimore Board of Health, in their address to the public, have acknowledged that a disorder now rages at Fell's-Point, of which there were no less than 115 sick, at the time of writing, though they suppose that but 12 of the number were dangerous. This disorder the Board denominate an inflammatory bilious fever, and ascribe to certain local causes, which they observe may be removed, and not to any "imported or human contagion." But whatever may be the origin of the disease, the name they have chosen to distinguish it by, is the same that Doctor Rush has applied to the malignant fever, that has been so fatal, at different periods, to the health of Philadelphia; which other physicians call the yellow fever of the West-Indies; and which sad experience has taught us to dread as one of the heaviest of scourges.
While we sincerely congratulate with the citizens of Baltimore on the report, that this disorder, call it what they please, is so mild with them this season; we apprehend that, if by any means it should be brought hither, it will be difficult to persuade the inhabitants of Philadelphia that it is not a foreign malady, or to prevent them from being as much alarmed, as if it were imported in a ship directly from St. Domingo.
It would be a folly to dispute with the Health-Officers of Baltimore about the physical cause, or the technical denomination of their disorder. This is a theme on which Doctors differ; and there is no controlling, or accounting for the oddity of opinions. There are whimsical geniuses in Philadelphia, who search for the destroyer in our

atters; and others who, taking a higher view, think they have discovered its embryo in the roofs of our houses, some alcribe it to vegetable putrefaction; and others more profou... trace it to the grave-yards and cemeteries. In so difficult a question, facts and experience are the only safe guides. None of our citizens died of a contagious disorder, bearing every symptom of the yellow fever, which he brought with him from Baltimore, and another person, coming directly from the same place, has been lent to the Lazaretto. These facts, added to the daily accounts we receive from Baltimore of the progress of mortality, are good and substantial reasons for stopping the intercourse between the two cities. We hope, therefore, and expect, that the Philadelphia Board of Health will continue their watch and ward, and, in spite of all clamours to the contrary, use their utmost endeavours to prevent this inflammatory bilious fever of Baltimore, as well as of every other contagious disorder, being introduced among us.

IMPROMPTU.
To a beautiful young Lady weeping. Why droops the lovely A... eye; Why trembles on her cheek the tear; Why swells her bosom with the sigh; Can aught unhappy cause there? That seat of innocence and truth Should never feel the sting of woe; Nor from the sparkling eyes of youth Should drops of anguish ever flow. Perhaps the blinded Orpheus' dart Ha' pierc'd soft beauty's, piteous shrine, And heaves not Heavens faithful heart, Responsive to each throb of thine? Trust me, dear Maid, the tender swain Whose breast has ev'ry thy charms, Can never break the silent chain, Can never quit thy folding arms. But, should the thoughtless wand'rer fly From Beauty, Virtue, Truth, and Thee; Oh, let the tear, that dims thine eye, With Pity beam on Love and Me.

LETTER IV.
Philadelphia August 23, 1800.
TO THOMAS JEFFERSON,
Vice President of the United States.
SIR,
IT is a serious and important question to the people of America, whether a President of the United States, is not compelled in consequence of an implied obligation, to pursue a system of policy dictated by the spirit of the party which elevated him? If this is the fact, an all-important question then arises—what are the principles of the Party? And if they are calculated to injure the public happiness.
I have endeavored in a former letter to develop the nature of Jacobinism, and to prove how little it accords with the principles of good government and religion—permit me now to detail its local objects, which have reference to the Federal Government.
When the depredations on our commerce committed by French cruisers, became so extensive, as seriously to injure our trade, government permitted the merchantmen to arm in their own defence, and fitted out several vessels of war, as a further security to the trade—the benefits resulting to the country in general, from this measure were immediately felt—the premium on Insurance, was greatly diminished, and our commerce, restored to the channels, from which it had been driven by the Cruisers of France; Yet this wise measure was highly disapproved of the Jacobins, in and out of doors, and every means used to prevent its execution.
When the danger to be apprehended from France, was imminent and appeared to arise in a great degree, from the close political connection of the two countries, Congress declared the treaty, between them, void and no longer binding on the United States, this, together with the alien bill, which empowers the President, to remove from the country all aliens, (particularly pointing at French emigrants) suspected to be inimical to the government, and to the welfare of the Nation—were strongly objected to, by your party, as unconstitutional, and impolitic, although it was well established, that the United States had received the greatest injuries, and that the most serious dangers, were to be apprehended from aliens residing among us.
A Navy to a commercial people, is allowed by every Political writer, to be a natural and wise institution—it is a safe guard to the chief source of revenue in the country, and by rendering trade secure, extends, and promotes it. Yet the navy establishment, has been a strong ground of opposition among the Jacobins, to the present administration.
When the French Government, in order to rid itself of its armies (from which it had well grounded fears) were sending them to the most distant part of the earth for plunder and employment; it was reasonably suspected by our government, that, as the United States offered objects of temptation and allurements to a French army—there was cause to fear an invasion; and to avoid a danger of such great magnitude, or to meet it with advantage when it should arrive, Congress in their wisdom raised and organized an army of defence, which was believed to be a measure that could not be dispensed with, by a wise and provident government.
The raising of this army was, in the opinion of your party, a monstrous act of oppression upon the people; loading them with taxes to support a body of men which was one day to rob them of their liberties; overturn the constitution, and be a cruel instru-
ment in the hands of a lawless and tyrannic President.
Against all these wise measures of the Federal Government, the Jacobin party of which you, Sir, are confessedly the head, loudly declaim, as unconstitutional and impolitic, that such a system of administration is unwise and iniquitous, and will involve the nation in ruin; this is daily communicated to the whole of your party through the medium of your presses; they teem with abuse against the President and Government on account of their measures; you have roundly asserted that these things have been done by the officers of government for their private emolument; that the people have been abused and insulted, and oppressed with taxes which will accumulate; that the government is assimilating itself more and more to the British government, and in short, that all this system of administration must be overturned before the country can flourish; and that you will overturn it and proceed on entire new grounds.
This is the belief, Sir, of the bulk of your party; they believe that for this the party was formed; that our present rulers are weak and dishonest men, intent on private gain; that without the change they will never be happy; and that this revolution for the better will be wrought by your election to the Presidency.
These are the views of the great mass of the Jacobin party; you have agreed to be its champion; and you dare not fly from your agreement; you dare not desert your principles, for if you should the party will desert you, and turn to be your bitterest foe; there will be no trimming then; you will have taken your ground, and will be compelled to hold it; death might be the consequence of deserting your post. Our beloved Governor has felt the full force of this truth, and daily bears it in the curses of thousands and the bitter complaints of indignation. His friends must be gratified; the man who raised him to office must get the reward; and although traitors, thieves and foreigners are of the number, they were leaders of the party and must be compensated as such; it was a part of the system to reward these men, and the Governor had not the power to refuse. You, Sir, will have to be as compliant as your friend, and the whole face of American affairs must be changed, it is a fundamental principle of the party.
Permit me now, Sir, to investigate the characters of those men who stand highest on the Jacobin list next to yourself, and on whom the first offices of your government will devolve. Perhaps I am not wrong in supposing that Mr. Madison will be selected as your prime minister.
Let us pursue this man to his philosophic retreat, where like the nightly assassin he lurks in the dark to conceal the deathly blow aimed at the liberties of his country! What will we find him meditating on there? What schemes of vengeance? Disappointed ambition knows no bound. Ecstatic by the resplendent glory of Washington, his little soul sunk into a sullen gloom. He had formed great expectations, much above his merits, and if they were not gratified his country was to be sacrificed in the atonage—To accomplish this a temporary retrenchment seemed the surest method—But still the hour shall arrive when the victim is to bleed at his feet, his soul will be a stranger to remorse. This man was one of the chief Framers of the Federal Constitution; he had always hitherto shown an attachment to energetic government, and in an address from the House of Representatives to General Washington on his first election to the Presidency (drawn up by himself) pronounces him the greatest and best of men. Yet this unprincipled man, from a supposition that he was neglected by the government, commenced a violent and zealous opposition to all its acts—exerted his talents to confuse and perplex it, and strove hard to render supicious the reputation and virtues of General Washington in the eyes of his fellow-citizens.
The next patriot who will demand from you his share of Jacobinic favour, is that cunning, artful hypocrite Albert Gallatin whose name was so conspicuous among the ring-leaders of the Western Insurrection—when the laws of the United States were set at open defiance, the commissioners of the government insulted, and a standard of rebellion reared against its authority, at a town-meeting of the rebels, in which a system of treason was organized, this Gallatin, was Secretary; but like a crafty Italian he sheltered himself under the President's Proclamation of a general amnesty when all hopes of success to the rebellion had fled, and he knew that without this precaution his neck would be stretched for the part he had taken. He has ever since continued a violent opposer of General Washington and Mr. Adams's administration.
That model of diplomatic purity, that link of French philosophy, the ever infamous Monroe who worked so hard night and day to sacrifice his country to France, and told her unprincipled Rulers that the People of the United States would cheerfully submit to any demands that would be necessary for the interest of their ally, will also have his proportion of the honors and profits of the government. The claims of these men Sir, upon you will be extensive, and if you do not give them their full, they will point to the bloody and infamous charter of your rights violated and infringed, and will redeem its purity by hurling you from the giddy height to which your miserable ambition will have led you.

The new regulation which permits Soldiers who are married to sleep with their wives is doubtless intended as an indulgence, but it would not be surprising if many of them should be content to save this comfortable privilege.

Paris. The Prefect of the Police of Paris has thought it necessary to publish a caution to his fellow-citizens against a new species of Fraud, which he describes as thus practiced in general: A person pretending to be confined in the Temple, or some other prison, addresses a letter to the Citizen whom he has marked as his Dupe, in which he states that he has been in the service of a master imprisoned for political crimes, in consequence of which he had himself been obliged to fly in haste; that he took refuge in the Commune inhabited by the Citizen to whom he addresses his Letter; that having been suddenly called to Paris by his Master, he had buried a casket of Jewels, or a large sum of Money which remained in his possession, in a spot near the house of the person to whom he writes, but so remote that he cannot discover the spot without having recourse to written documents. These documents are in his portmanteau, which having been in the Infirmary of the prison, he has been obliged to pledge to the boy who attends him; for a small sum of money. As he has a confidence in the honour of the man to whom his letter is addressed, he wishes him to dig up and take care of his treasure for him, until he is himself in a situation to claim it when he will repay him with gratitude for all the trouble he has had. In the mean time, however, it is necessary that he should be furnished with a few livres to send his portmanteau with the documents, and this remittance he earnestly requests may be sent him. This species of fraud has in many instances been practised, and in most cases, been successful.

Federal Meeting.
At a meeting of the Citizens of Philadelphia, held pursuant to public notice, at Mr. Dunwoody's Tavern, on the 25th of August instant. Henry Pratt was appointed Chairman, and James Minor Secretary.
The committee appointed at a former meeting, to correspond with the friends of the Federal Government in Delaware County, on the subject of nominating a suitable candidate for the office of Senator, for the District, composed of the City and County of Philadelphia, and the County of Delaware, produced an extract from the proceedings of a meeting held at the Black Horse Tavern, in Middletown Township, on the 20th instant, by which it appears that they have determined to support Mr. Daniel Newlin, as a Candidate, for said office.
Whereupon resolved unanimously, that this meeting do approve of the nomination of Mr. Newlin, and that we will unite our exertions, in promoting his election.
The following Gentlemen, were appointed a Committee, to correspond with our federal friends, and to pursue such other measures, as may be found advisable to promote the federal interest, at the ensuing election.
William Rawle, Levi Hollingsworth, John Inskip, Robert Wharton, Joseph Hopkinson, John Hallowell, and Thomas Fitzsimons.

On his homeward bound passage from Turks Isl-
and was boarded by a British frigate, the Captain of which after treating him with many civilities, and indecent laugue, impressed four of his men, and permitted him to pursue his voyage.
