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. 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 inflammations. 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.

PROSPECT OF NEWS.
Last Thursday night, the ship Cornelia, Captain Prince arrived at Portland from Liverpool, which she left September 3. No news by her has yet been received in town. The mail for Portland is due this evening.
NEW-BEDFORD, October 14.
LOSS OF SHIP HOPE.
Last evening arrived in town, Elihu Doty, late master of the ship Hope, of this port, by whom we learn the loss of that ship—the following particulars of which distressing event, are hastily collected from his report, made at Portsmouth.
She failed from Wilmington, N C on the 19th Aug. for Jamaica, laden with lumber and corn—on the 6th Sept. in lat 26 00 N long 69 30 W. met with a severe gale of wind—on the 8th, the gale increased, and the ship leaked so much that notwithstanding the deck-load was thrown over, and every exertion made at the pumps, at 11 o'clock P. M. the water came over the cabin floor; the wind at this time blowing so excessively hard, as to bring salt water over the vessel, as to endanger smothering a man on deck, in addition to the rain which we supposed had been incessant & very hard for 24 hours, as it had been almost as dark at noon as at night, but the rain could not be distinguished from the drift of the sea, which flew over the mast heads; it was now found necessary to cut away all three of the masts to prevent the ship from upsetting; at 12 o'clock at night the ship was entirely filled with water, and a high sea beating over her; John Bolter, a seaman, was washed overboard and drowned; the rest of the people, 7 in number, secured themselves by lashings, at 4 o'clock A. M. on the 9th, the gale, which for 30 hours had seemed continually to increase, abated a little, when it was found that three wax candles, were every eatable thing that could be obtained, and no fresh water; found a drowned rat, and laid it aside.
The distresses of the people from this time till the 17th, are hardly to be described on the 10th, they eat part of the rat, also found a piece of pork; the 12th, obtained more meat, but their throats were too much parched to swallow; very hot weather for several days past, and wind light; from a shower in the evening caught a little water—14th, caught more water, & from the great temptation drank so much as to have very prejudicial effects: 15th, high sea, deck began to rip up; 16th, good weather; 17th, were taken off by ship Mercury, Capt. Jacob Treadwell, of Portsmouth, and arrived at that port on the 2d Oct—The next day, Mark Lamb, one of the seamen, who had been sick from the 21st Sept died:—Robert Collet, the 2d mate, had died previous to the gale.
NEW LONDON, October 14.
On the 8th of October instant, at a special District Court, held at this place, came on the trial of the schooner Vengeance, lately captured and brought into this port, by the United States ship Trumbull, David Jewett, Esq. commander; when the said schooner being an armed vessel, mounting 10 guns, and manned with a large number of the adherents of General Rigaud, was condemned, with her cargo, consisting of specie, bullion, &c. which they had collected and were attempting to flee with from Jeremie in the island of St Domingo to Cuba, but being intercepted by the vigilance of the Trumbull, have lost their plunder, which perhaps was not acquired in the most honorable way.
The Vengeance and her cargo are by said decree ordered to be distributed to the United States and the Officers and Crew of the Trumbull, in pursuance of the law of the United States in such a case made and provided.
At the same time came on the trial of the schooner Tullie, taken by the same ship, which was by decree of this court acquitted, it appearing that she was not an armed vessel, and that the only object Charles Seys, Esq. the claimant could have in view was to escape with his wife and children from the Vengeance of General Touissant, who had conquered that part of Hispaniola, which had been in the possession of Rigaud. The property of the schooner Tullie was instantly returned by Capt. Jewett, to said Charles Seys, the claimant.

M. MCCONNELL,
Chestnut street, No. 143.
We understand that this afternoon at 4 o'clock, the foundation stone, of a New-Bridge over Schuylkill was to have been laid, — we presume the weather will prevent it.
At a meeting of the Select and Common Councils of this City, held yesterday morning, agreeably to law, Henry Pratt, Esq. was chosen President of the Select Council, and Kearny Wharton, Esq. President of the Common Council.
William H. Todd, Esq. was elected Clerk of the Select, and Edward J. Coale, Esq. Clerk of the Common Council.
The Councils will meet again on Tuesday next, for the purpose of electing a Mayor.
FEMALE ELECTORS.
Single Females in the State of New-Jersey, possessed of a certain property, and having paid taxes, are entitled to vote at elections. We understand that at the late election, there were many exercised their privilege.
The Editor this morning received by Post the following account of the Election in New Jersey, it may be depended on as accurate.—The result of the Election, so far as has come to our knowledge, is highly honorable to the good people of that respectable State.
New-Jersey Election.
Burlington County.
The returns from the 11 townships, amount to 3500 votes; of which 3000 are for the Federal ticket: this is the result within 60 or 70 votes, at the outside, and may be depended on. What a fine subject of self gratulation this must afford to the Stab-town Gairman and his Secretary.
P. S. No doubt is entertained of a great majority in the Legislature for the Adams interest.
The honorable John C. Smith, is elected representative to Congress, for the State of Connecticut, till the 4th March next; to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Jonathan Brace, Esq.
We hear that Mr. William Lardner and Mr. James Swain are appointed to take the second census, in the third and 4th districts, according to an act of Congress, in the county of Philadelphia.
STEPHEN SAYRE.
A fellow who signs his name as above, has occupied two columns of a late Aurora, in an address to the Editor of this Gazette; we shall now dismiss the wretch with the following letter, taken from Mrs. Beddelley's Memoirs.—We have already devoted too great a portion of our time, and occupied too much room in the Gazette on this worthless topic.
LONDON, 23d March, 1771.
DEAR SIR, "We are likely to have some serious matters, of the political kind, ere long. Wilkes has brought the Commons into a damnable dilemma, by attacking his two old friends, the K—g, and Lord Halifax. I hope there remains some spirit of Englishmen among us, which will soon blast the men who are striving to run this great kingdom. That yu and I may live to share the spoils of those rascals, and be rewarded with what we read y meri, is my ardent wish, when I bid you adieu! Your's most respectfully, "STEPHEN SAYRE."
A correspondent would be glad to know what has become of the SIGN of the CROSS KEYS, which used to hang at the corner of Third and Chestnut street, as it has not been seen since the election.
Scarcely a Mail arrives that we are not deprived of some of our Newspapers, sometimes from New-York we receive but one paper, instead of four or five, at other times, we receive papers to the eastward of Boston, and none from Boston, and to day we have one solitary paper by the Southern Mail, and we have not received the Farmer's Museum these four weeks past, although we know by letters from the Editor, that the papers have been forwarded,—Such deprivations are very provoking and ought not to be allowed.
A STRIKING LIKENESS.
Extract of a letter from a political character resident abroad, to his friend at Philadelphia.
"The French proverb says that there are honest men, even in hell; where I should indeed as soon think of looking for them, as among that class of mortals called Jacobins. I will not say there is no such thing as an honest Jacobin, but I must own it has never been my lot to meet with one, and have instances of the contrary multiplying upon me every day. Christian charity bids us hope all things, but not to believe all things, and I should think my property just as safe in the hands of a Jacobin, as in those of a convicted thief. I know not whether you will think these sentiments illiberal, but these are times, and this is a subject that admit not of liberality. The utmost candor I can shew to a Jacobin is not to trust him; for then I believe of him that he will not betray my trust."
Extract from Essays on Political Society—now printing by Mr. William Young.
"The American Congress, under their existing constitution, affords a conspicuous illustration of general principles of moral policy.
None of the ancient or modern leagues, none of the ancient or modern governments, in the Old World, exhibits so perfect a national model for municipal legislation upon the elective system. French vanity, indeed, has eulogized their policy as the sublimest monument of human reason. But the defects of the first edition of government which they call a constitution, were proved by its being overthrown almost as soon as it commenced operations: It became obsolete in its infancy. The next project, to which was given the name of constitution, was conceived under the ascendancy of Robespierre. This thing, even its parents, had not the confidence to exhibit to the French, for their opinion. The third French edition of government, called the constitution of year three, appeared to have more firmness of texture, and to be more capable of duration. Its exterior form, indeed, has been continued, while the brain and the heart, as far as it had any, were anatomized by order of such as directed the armed force.
Can the French Council of Ancients claim the honor of competing with the American Senate? Is it equally formed for dignity, for wisdom and stability?
Shall the French Council of Five Hundred pretend to rival the American House of Representatives as a popular chamber of legislation? The triennial election of the members of that Council, the interposal of an electoral assembly between them and the people, the annual rotation of one third of the members, the forced election of two thirds, were these the best expedients which the boasted French skill could devise for securing popular liberty?
The French legislature, if their two Councils merit the name since the Fructidorian subjugation, is a duplicated revolutionary aristocracy; mutilated by pentarchal usurpation; nominally regulated by forms, which, at the bidding of the pentarchs, vanish before a decree of urgency.
Whether the framers of the American constitution were controlled by an happy necessity of political situation; whether their profound acquaintance with the most correct theories of government determined the frame of the system; or whether a manly force of mind, combined with scientific skill, aided by much personal experience, and influenced by a respectful attention to preconceived opinions, led to a system so original in its general structure, so interwoven in its parts, so compacted by the association of the whole; whether and how far any or all of these causes operated to produce the American constitution, one thing is certain—The citizens of the New World have abundant cause to felicitate themselves on their political destiny. The American nation has now a municipal legislature constituted to "provide for the common defence" and general welfare."
Pennsylvania Elections.
Just as our paper was going to press we received the returns from Chester County, by which it appears that the Federalists have carried the election by 150 votes—except the Senator, who the Democrats carried owing to the counties of Bucks and Montgomery.
THE Members of the Society of the Sons of St. GEORGE, established at Philadelphia, for the advice and assistance of Englishmen in distress, are requested to attend a quarterly meeting of the said Society, at the City Tavern, on Thursday the 23d day of October, at six o'clock in the evening.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
No. VIII.
Impromptu, on hearing a young lady censured for keeping an officer's picture in her parlour.
A graceful person, with an easy air, And fops have these, may sometimes please the fair, But manly sense, a soul for friendship form'd, A heart at once by love and glory warm'd, With modest worth, and true politeness join'd To every virtue of a soldier's mind, These are the charms, that steal upon the breath,
And with these charms was Damon greatly blest, Esteem for honor plac'd his image there, And often wakes reflection's tender tear. Then, Son of Malice, e'er you dare to raise, The breath of censure, (tho' thy censure's praise,) From Damon's virtues, boundless was the store, Learn but his candour, and you'll blame no more.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the Western parts of Virginia, to his correspondent in Richmond, dated Sept. 16, 1800.
"You are so bent on politics, that I believe you have lost hopes. It will be well if you and I have hitherto been mistaken; the event I hope will be favorable; but no wife has changed my opinion—nay, so clearly do I conceive the principles of our Democrats to be wrong, that were it left to my determination, I would freely make choice of being governed by Buonaparte himself, rather than submit to the partiality and tyranny of our Democrats, manifested in the late proceedings of *****. I suppose it would not be sedition only, but also little treason, to find fault with the majority of our legislature—who, it is said, are the people.—Our ticket law, however, for appointing Electors to choose a President, and a Vice-President, will be a lasting monument of the lost liberties of the distressed and deluded people; and an eternal stigma on the boasted justice of true republican government. Such tyranny, such abuse of rights, will one day produce its murderous effects."
