From the Connecticut Courant.
No. V.
To the People of the United States. THE second proposition which I am to establish is—If Mr. Jefferson should be elected President, the constitution will inevitably fall a sacrifice to Jacobinism.
have filled the newspapers with falsehood and calumny, against every Federal man, and Federal measure; denounced one after another, all the friends of the administration, as traitors, monarchists, aristocrats, British agents, &c. &c. merely to give Mr. Jefferson and his party, opportunity to do exactly what General Washington, and the Federal party have done before.
My countrymen the people who make these declarations, do not believe them. They know they are untrue, and calculate them only to deceive. If they did believe them they would with one voice, denounce Mr. Jefferson, and hunt his character into the same wilds of infamy, where they have endeavoured to destroy those of honest and virtuous men.
Another artifice which the Democrats are now playing off, to effect the same purpose, is this—The country, they say, is divided into parties those parties are violent, the country suffers by reason of this violence.
The Antifederalists from the time of the establishment of the Government, to the present moment, have held the same language. But, in lamenting the evils of party spirit, whom do they accuse? Their own party? By no means. If we are to believe them, the whole burden lies at the door of the Federalists.
The Democrats talk much of uniting parties, and of accommodation; and pretend that Mr. Jefferson's moderation will accomplish this desirable end. This goes on the idea that there is something wrong on both sides, which ought to be given up.
SALE AND PROCEEDS OF BREEDING STOCK, Late the property of Robert Fowler, in the County of Oxford, Great Britain.
This Gentleman was so peculiar in procuring and preserving a good Stock of breeding cattle, that he spared no trouble or expence to obtain the best; and no money could tempt him to part with such as he approved.
After his death his breeding flock was sold at public Auction for £666 Sterling. It consisted principally of Sheep and Horn cattle.
From a London Paper. While Commodore Blankett was embayed and becalmed on the Coast of Africa, it was frequently necessary to land for the procurement of water; and on these occasions, notwithstanding the greatest possible caution, several seamen of the squadron were cut off by the savage natives.
Nianfredi, celebrated among the people called improvisators, or extemporiers, now exhibits his powers at Paris. He is to dictate to ten persons at a time, ten letters in five different languages upon ten different subjects to be chosen by lot by the company.
The opinion of Lalande, the French astronomer, that the present year belongs to the eighteenth century, will only serve to confirm our Laureat in the contrary opinion. A republican astronomer can never be right.
NORWICH. Early on Tuesday morning there arose from the South a very large and luminous meteor, which passed to the Westward.
A shepherd died lately, at Gompas, in Hungary, in the 126th year of his age. His manner of living was extremely simple: he never ate any meat, but subsisted entirely on milk, butter and cheese, and never had been ill in his life.
The mortality amongst the horses of post-masters, carriers, and road-waggons, still continues from the dreadful state of the roads, incessant labour, and want of sufficient nutriment.
A most dreadful storm of wind and snow came on at Newcastle on Wednesday night last, and continued without intermission till Thursday evening; and about three o'clock in the morning of that day, four ships belonging to Sunderland, and one to Blythe, were driven upon the Black Middens, immediately upon the wrecks of the nine vessels which were lost there a few weeks since.

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 perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous 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.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S
Genuine Eye-water.
A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dulness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases 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 Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c. Restorative Drops, Essence 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 Lotion, Restorative Tooth Powders, Damask Lip Salve, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills, &c. &c. april 19

TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
"SENECA" is received. The file is pure and the sentiments are interesting. We will assign him an honorable place. But we fear that Seneca's Morals will never correct the object of his reproof, nor tame the populace of Pennsylvania.
Our fair friend, who dates from the Sylvania retreats of New Jersey, is requested to persevere in the task of writing. The effusions of an enlightened and correct mind will always be greeted by the Editor. Solitude is one of the parents of poetry and the magnificence and varied beauty of the "rural reign," at this enchanted season, are favorable to studious pursuits and "musing meditation."
The Song, in the Yankee stile, from Baltimore, in praise of Mr. Jefferson and Wantz, will raise a laugh at the expence of democracy. For an IMPROMPTU, it is entitled to commendation; a few metrical errors excepted, which are venial in our lenient courts of Criticism, where it perceives that the offenders is not an old one. Of this farcical ballad, the last stanza is as ludicrous as the songs of Liago.
"A FRIEND TO THE GAZETTE," is egregiously mistaken if he supposes selling single papers an advantage to the Editor—it has proved a serious inconvenience and injury, and the determination not to sell any shall be rigorously adhered to.

At a highly respectable Literary Club in England, the virtues and achievements, the probity and intrepidity of Washington were the subject of conversation. After a long and merited eulogium on our late President, a gentleman asked the honourable Edmund Burke, who had graced the eulogium of Washington with his peculiar energy, whether, in justly estimating the character of Washington, some allowance ought not to be made for the energy of the panegyrist; and whether Mr. Burke supposed himself there ever existed so exalted a character, as he had contributed to define. I forgive you, replied Edmund Burke; for I myself never believed that a man of the exalted dig-
nity and intrepidity of George Washington could possibly exist, until I personally conversed with John Adams.
On Saturday last, the Supreme Court of the United States commenced its session, in this city. The indisposition of Judge Chase prevented the Court from proceeding to business on the first day of the Term. Several important causes will be heard and determined in the course of the present week. The cause which the Court has now before it, is that of Talbot against Seaman; in which property to the amount of nearly one hundred thousand dollars is in question. Judge Cushing (owing to indisposition) has not attended.
An Indian has been tried before the Federal Court at Knoxville, for the murder of James Johnston. He confessed the fact; the Jury found him guilty; and he was executed. The Indians are extremely anxious to bring to justice another Indian called Little Rabbit, concerned in the above murder.
A private in the Artillerist, on Governor's Island, N. Y. has had his arm amputated, in consequence of an unexpected explosion of a cartridge remaining in a gun, which shattered his arm in a dreadful manner.
From the 3d to the 10th of August, inclusive, there were 61 deaths in the city of N. York, of whom there were 49 children, 8 men and 4 women.—None of the yellow fever.
It appears by accounts from Savannah, and by a letter from Col. Hawkins to Governor Jackson, that the Governor of Florida; Col. Don Vincent Folch, fitted out an expedition against Fort St. Marks, then in possession of the adventurer Bowles. On the approach of the vessels and troops, Bowles and his adherents fled, and the fort was taken possession of. The officers who surrendered that place to Bowles, are to be tried by a Court Martial.
The Democrats say that a man who marched at the head and acted as a guide, to the British, when they entered the town of Petersburg, deserves to be banged by every law human and divine.—We could draw a comparison,—but TENCH COXE lays comparisons are odious!
TENCH COXE thinks a law partakes very little of divinity which would tuck him up à la lanterna!
The fashionable cant of the Jacobin politicians, deists, & illuminati of the day, is the efficacy of first principles, and the innumerable truths which can be educed from them, favorable to the rights of degraded men, and insulted reason. It is observable that the metaphysic wranglers, who talk thus much of principles, have very little principle themselves; and after the most inflated harangues, in favor of benevolence, to the people, conclude their oratory by fleecing watches and spoons and wives and daughters.
A Jacobin Zealot, in an acrimonious and lying essay, written with the intention to injure Gen. HAMILTON, having quoted the authority of General Knox in support of the calumny, it immediately produced the following note from that gentleman to the editors of the Boston Chronicle.
Messrs. Adams & Rodges,—Having had a sentence of an address to Gen. Hamilton printed in your paper of Monday, pointed out to me, in which it is asserted that "he (alluding to the subscriber) possesses Washington's evidence of your unmanly arts to degrade him." Truth dictates, that I should say, I possess no such evidence. H. KNOX.
Boston, Aug. 4, 1800. Though the Chronicle printers have printed the above in a very small character, yet it is proper to insert it very conspicuously in the Gazette of the United States. It will furnish another official detection of Jacobinical falsehood.
The Aurora of this morning contains the following:
The London Morning Chronicle of 25th June has the following remarkable paragraph—
"We have seen accounts from America of a late date. Mr. Pickering, the Secretary of State, we are informed, has been removed. Mr. Pickering was much attached to the English interest. The cause of his removal is by some considered as a kind of sacrifice to the party who are anxious for peace with France."
[Pray Mr. DANCE, where did you get a London Paper of June twenty five?]
Extract of a letter from Newark, (N. J.) August 8.
A Mr. James Edmiston or Edmiston, who left Philadelphia in the Diligence on the 29th July, on his way to New-York, jumped out of the ferry-boat in a fit of lunacy, and was drowned. His body was found yesterday in a very putrid state, and buried. Property of value was found with the body, and is in the possession of Robert B. Canfield, coroner of the town of Newark. The lawful representative of the deceased, proving himself such will be entitled to receive the same.
Some keys were found with the body, probably of trunks it is supposed he had where he lived.
The following is copied from the Baltimore Telegraph.
Mr. Dobbins, Having some passenger in the same vessel with Mr. Barrett, I think is an incumbent
duty on me, to contradict the false, malicious and scandalous attack made on his character, first published in a New-York paper, and republished in this city, by Capt. Delano; the publication must have originated from the malevolence of Delano, as Mr. Barrett was about to bring the captain to a court of justice for his many misdemeanors on board his vessel. Respecting the affair, relative to his assertion of a reward being offered for him, or his escaping from prison, it is an absolute falsehood, and Delano's conduct will be exposed to public view in its true colors.
JOHN MAINTIRE.
N. B. Printers who have published Delano's statement, are requested to give this a place.

Washington, July 25. (Aug. 1) mw3w WHEREAS BY a decree of the High Court of Chancery, made in a cause, James against NEWMAN, it is among other things referred to Wm. Graves Esq. one of the masters of the said court, "to take an account of the Legacies bequeathed by the will of the testator, WILLIAM PHILLIPS, late of Newgate street, London, deceased, and also to inquire and state to the court, whether Francis James, the brother of the complainant's named as one of the Legatees in the said will is dead, and whether he died in the life time of the testator;
Therefore all persons who can give any information whether the said Francis James be living or dead, and if living where he now resides or last resided, and when and at what place, and when and where he was last heard of, and if dead, when and where he died, are hereby requested to give such information to the said William Graves, Esq. at his office in Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, London, on or before the first day of March next, otherwise he will be excluded the benefit of the said decree.
