Also, a young bearing apple tree orchard, containing several hundred trees, the fruit selected from different parts of the United States, a large convenient barn with a threshing floor, with commodious stabling for horses and cows, carriage and houses, grain room, &c.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States - particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is peculiarly 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 its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousands not one in a hundred has 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. 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 Lozenge, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c. Restorative Drops, Pile and Extract of Mustard, Sovereign Ointment for the itch, Dr. Hahn's infallible German Corn Plaster, Indian Vegetable Specific for the Venereal complaint, Gowland's and Persian Lotions, Restorative Tooth Powder, Domestic Lip Salve, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills, &c. &c.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6th, 1800. To the Committee of Health in Baltimore.
WE received your letter of the 22d ultimo, in answer to ours which you observe is without date.
The collection made in this City, and the Liberties to relieve Baltimore, was founded upon a very affecting appeal of your Committee to your own citizens, dated the 9th mo. 10th, 1800, in which you say the fever rages at Fell's Point, and the poor thereof have nothing to depend on for support but your City Funds, and you call upon your inhabitants at large to give their assistance.
To us you say, that your country abounds in provisions, &c. and that your funds have been fully adequate to all the demands that have been made upon them to the 26th of September; but how far this may be the case at the end of this awful visitation, you do not know. That indeed is very uncertain; but from sorrowful experience of such a situation as yours, we know that the expence attending it exceeded by far all our calculations; and fearing it might also exceed yours, we were anxious to give you an evidence of good will, by affording you, if it might be acceptable, a little assistance. We accordingly put forward a subscription, and had reason to expect we should have sent you Seven Thousand Dollars; but the receipt of your letter has very much impeded the progress of all our collections; many of our citizens believing from the tenor of it, that you felt unwilling to accept of any thing from us: We however have sent you in their behalf three thousand dollars for the present, and hope it will be useful, and in a few days more, we expect to send you another remittance.
We are your real Friends, In behalf of the Committee of Correspondence, SAMUEL COATS, Chairman,
P. S The remittance is in the draft enclosed of Jonathan Smith, Cashier of the Bank of Pennsylvania, on the Cashier of the Bank of Baltimore.
To the Committee of Correspondence with Baltimore, Norfolk and Providence.
YOUR favour of the 6th instant we have received, covering Jonathan Smith's draft on the Bank of Baltimore for three thousand dollars, being a donation of your citizens, for the relief of the poor and distressed of this city, which was acceptable, and we trust it will be laid out for the purpose for which it was intended.
You observe that the receipt of the letter from the Board of Health, very much impeded the progress of all our collections, from a belief that they were unwilling to accept any thing from you. This we apprehend is not a fair construction of the plain and obvious meaning of it, which was to inform you, that the sickness and circumstances attending it, had already occasioned a very considerable expence, but what the amount of it might be in the conclusion, was altogether uncertain. This was in answer to your request, of being informed generally of our situation.
Whether it would have been more pleasing to some, to have represented our situation more distressing and pitiable, was with them no consideration, nor what they had in view. They stated a fact, and left it with you to afford our citizens any, or what satisfaction you might think proper. You mentioned
your intention to divide your donations between three places, they, therefore, carefully guarded against every expression that might be construed, as though they wanted to engross an over proportion to themselves.
Thus far we have thought it might be necessary to explain, with a view to remove any misrepresentation that might have taken place on the occasion, not wishing that the effort might destroy that good understanding that ought to subsist between the two cities.
We are your Friends, ADAM FONERDEN, } Com's of JOS. TOWNSEND, } Health. P. S. The whole of the others, who constitute the Board of Health, having for some time past left the city. Baltimore, October 13, 1800.
From the (Boston) Columbian Centinel. The result of the Presidential election in December next, greatly interests and agitates the public mind. From the best information drawn from real information received from all the states, it is rendered highly probable that the following will be the result of the choice.
Table with 4 columns: State, Adams, Jefferson. Lists votes for Northern and Southern states.
This result is predicated upon the idea of the existence of an honourable confidence between all the Federalists of the Union, that such Electors will be chosen as will vote fully and fairly for JOHN ADAMS as President and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, as Vice-President. If this confidence is well founded, it is certain that Mr. Adams will be continued President, and Gen. Pinckney be elected Vice-President of the United States; an event most devoutly to be wished. But if Electors are appointed who will not vote thus honourably and fairly, it is highly probable, that no one of the candidates will have a majority of the votes. For if the Federal Electors of the Southern States ascertain that such men are chosen Electors in the Northern, as will throw away the votes of either of the Federal Candidates they will exercise the same privilege, and throw away theirs of the other. In plain words—if the Massachusetts Electors, for instance, throw away, as they did at the last choice, their votes from Pinckney, the South-Carolinians will throw theirs away from Adams. In this case (which may Heaven avert) the persons having the five highest numbers of votes of the Electors will be the Candidates; from which the present House of Representatives of the United States, must elect the President; but in this case, two thirds of the States must be represented, the election made by States, and a majority of the States necessary to constitute the choice. The votes of nine states will therefore make a choice.
The question then is, which are the States from which Federal votes may be expected? We answer, New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, New-Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia—Ten in all. But for whom will they vote? The seven former for Mr. Adams, the three latter for Gen. Pinckney. Thus no choice will be made without a mutual compromise. The States of New-York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, will unquestionably vote for Mr. Jefferson—Vermont will probably be divided, and of course lose its vote.
The above Facts speak feelingly to the good sense of the Northern States; and point out to them the absolute necessity of appointing Electors who are known to be Men, who will vote, one and all for Adams and Pinckney; and we pledge ourselves they will not be betrayed or deceived by their Southern Brethren.

ALBANY, Oct. 16
From a Correspondent. On Monday evening last, the scrutiny between Mellis, Van Ingen, Dox and Villcher, and Mellis Jauncey, Treat and Cuyler, for the offices of Aldermen and Assistants of the third ward of this city, was determined by the Corporation. The principal question before the Board was—“Whether Aliens had a right to vote?” The Council for the appellants were, Mellis Jauncey, Bird, and Woodworth—for the respondents, the Attorney General, Mellis Lush and Emott. The arguments on both sides were lengthy and ingenious. In the course of the debate, the counsel for Appellants contended, that if Aliens were allowed to vote, not only Poles, Russians, Muscovites, Hottentots, but even Indians had the right, and might be elected to our most important offices. These arguments, although they appeared to me to be better calculated for a National Assembly, had their intended weight; for, contrary to a solemn adjudication of the Supreme Court of this state, in 1789, they declared, by a majority of one, that Alien Inhabitants had not a right to vote for charter Officers.
On the question, the Board divided as follows: For allowing Aliens to vote. Mellis Merchant, Leonard, G. Bogart, Cuyler, Wetherlo, Treat. Against their voting. The Recorder, Lanburgh, Mellis J. Bogart, Bleeker, Villcher, Dox. Staats.
On the close of the scrutiny, Mellis Jauncey and Dox were declared duly elected to the offices of Aldermen, and Mellis Cuyler and Bleekman, to that of Assistants. NEW-YORK October 22.

By information from the Southern parts of this State, and the State of Georgia, it is a melancholy truth, that the crops of cotton, owing to the rust, and a bug, by which the pods have been caused to drop very considerably, and those that remain are much diminished in their size, that the crops at the least will be a third less, and in some instances not more than the half of which they were last year.
