These machines are made on a simple and improved plan for copying, writing, &c. of any size, in an expeditious manner, and are charged at a much less price than any other new in use.

The very general use into which these machines are now brought in use in London and other large trading cities, and the satisfaction testified by all who possess them, renders it unnecessary to enlarge any further on their advantages, both in point of accuracy and secrecy and in the saving of time, labour and expense.

Yesterday we published the President's Proclamation, authorizing the promulgation of the Treaty between Prussia and the United States;—the length of the instrument precluded its insertion at that time, it is this day published entire.
TREATY OF AMITY AND COMMERCE, BETWEEN HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF PRUSSIA, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
HIS Majesty the King of Prussia, and the United States of America, desiring to maintain upon a stable and permanent footing, the connections of good understanding, which have hitherto so happily subsisted between their respective States, and for this purpose to renew the Treaty of Amity and Commerce concluded between the two Powers, at the Hague, the 8th of September, 1785, for the term of ten years, his Prussian Majesty has nominated and constituted as his Plenipotentiaries, the Count Charles William de Finkenstein, his Minister of State, of War, and of the Cabinet, Knight of the orders of the black Eagle, and of the red Eagle, and commander of that of St. John of Jerusalem, the Baron Philip Charles d'Abendsten, his Minister of State, of War, and of the cabinet, Knight of the orders of the black Eagle, and of the red Eagle and of that of St. John of Jerusalem, and the Count Christian Henry Carl de Haugwitz, his Minister of State, of War, and of the cabinet, Knight of the orders of the black Eagle, and of the red Eagle; and the President of the United States has furnished with their full Powers, John Quincy Adams, a citizen of the United States, and their Minister Plenipotentiary at the court of his Prussian Majesty.
Which Plenipotentiaries, after having exchanged their full powers, found in good and due form, have concluded, settled, and signed the following articles.
ARTICLE I. There shall be in future, as there has been hitherto, a firm, inviolable and universal Peace, and a sincere Friendship, between his Majesty the King of Prussia, his heirs, successors and subjects, on the one part, and the United States of America, and their citizens on the other, without exception of persons or places.
Text"> ARTICLE II. The subjects of His Majesty, the King of Prussia, may frequent all the coasts and countries of the United States of America, and reside and trade there, in all sorts of produce, manufactures and merchandise, and shall pay there no other or greater duties, charges or fees whatsoever, than the most favoured nations are or shall be obliged to pay. They shall also enjoy, in navigation and commerce, all the rights, privileges and exemptions, which the most favoured nation does or shall enjoy, submitting themselves nevertheless to the established laws and usages, to which are submitted the citizens of the United States, and the most favoured nations.
ARTICLE III. In like manner the citizens of the United States of America may frequent all the coasts and countries of His Majesty the King of Prussia, and reside and trade there, in all sorts of produce, manufactures and merchandise, and shall pay, in the dominions of his said Majesty, no other or greater duties, charges or fees whatsoever, than the most favoured nation is or shall be obliged to pay; and they shall enjoy all the rights, privileges and exemptions in navigation and commerce, which the most favoured nation does or shall enjoy; submitting themselves nevertheless to the established laws and usages, to which are submitted the subjects of His Majesty the King of Prussia, and the subjects and citizens of the most favoured nations.
ARTICLE IV. More especially, each party shall have a right to carry their own produce, manufactures, and merchandise, in their own or any other vessels, to any parts of the dominions of the other, where it shall be lawful for all the subjects and citizens of that other freely to purchase them, and thence to take the produce, manufactures, and merchandise of the other, which all the said citizens or subjects shall in like manner be free to sell to them, paying in both cases, such duties, charges, and fees only, as are or shall be paid, by the most favoured nation. Nevertheless, his Majesty the King of Prussia and the United States, respectively, reserve to themselves the right, where any nation refuses the transportation of merchandise to the vessels of the country, of which it is the growth or manufacture, to establish against such nation retaliating regulations; and also the right to prohibit in their respective countries the importation and exportation of all merchandise whatsoever, when reasons of state shall require it. In this case, the subjects of citizens of either of the contracting parties shall not import or export the merchandise prohibited by the other. But if one of the contracting parties permits any other nation to import or export the same
merchandise, the citizens or subjects of the other, shall immediately enjoy the same liberty.
ARTICLE V. The merchants, commanders of vessels, or other subjects or citizens of either party, shall not, within the ports or jurisdiction of the other, be forced to unload any sort of merchandise into any other vessels, nor to receive them into their own, nor to wait for their being loaded longer than they please.
ARTICLE VI. That the vessels of either party, loading within the ports or jurisdiction of the other, may not be uselessly harassed, or detained, it is agreed, that all examinations of goods, required by the laws, shall be made, before they are laden on board the vessel, and that there shall be no examination after; nor shall the vessel be searched at any time, unless articles shall have been laden therein clandestinely and illegally, in which case the person by whose order they were carried on board, or who carried them without order, shall be liable to the laws of the land in which he is, but no other person shall be molested, nor shall any other goods, nor the vessel be seized or detained for that cause.
ARTICLE VII. Each party shall endeavour by all the means in their power to protect and defend all vessels and other effects, belonging to the citizens or subjects of the other, which shall be within the extent of their jurisdiction by sea or by land; and shall use all their efforts to recover, and cause to be restored to the right owners, their vessels and effects, which shall be taken from them within the extent of their said jurisdiction.
ARTICLE VIII. The vessels of the subjects or citizens of either party, coming on any coast, belonging to the other, but not willing to enter into port, or who entering into port are not willing to unload their cargoes or break bulk, shall have liberty to depart, and to pursue their voyage, without molestation, and without being obliged to render account of their cargo, or to pay any duties, charges or fees whatsoever, except those established for vessels entered into port, and appropriated to the maintenance of the port itself, or of other establishments for the safety and convenience of navigators, which duties, charges and fees, shall be the same, and shall be paid on the same footing, as in the case of subjects or citizens of the country, where they are established.
ARTICLE IX. When any vessel of either party shall be wrecked, foundered, or otherwise damaged on the coasts or within the dominions of the other, their respective citizens or subjects shall receive, as well for themselves as for their vessels and effects, the same assistance, which would be due to the inhabitants of the country where the damage happens, and shall pay the same charges and fees only, as the said inhabitants would be subject to pay in a like case; and if the operations of repair shall require that the whole or any part of the cargo be unloaded, they shall pay no duties, charges or fees upon the part which they shall reload and carry away. The ancient and barbarous right to wrecks of the sea, shall be entirely abolished, with respect to the subjects or citizens of the two contracting parties.
ARTICLE X. The citizens or subjects of each party shall have power to dispose of their personal goods within the jurisdiction of the other, by testament, donation or otherwise, and their representatives, being subjects or citizens of the other party, shall succeed to their said personal goods, whether by testament, or ab intestato, and may take possession thereof, either by themselves, or by others acting for them, and dispose of the same at their will, paying such dues only as the inhabitants of the country, wherein the said goods are, shall be subject to pay in like cases. And in case of the absence of the representative, such care shall be taken of the said goods, as would be taken of the goods of a native in like case, until the lawful owner may take measures for receiving them. And if question should arise among several claimants, to which of them the said goods belong, the same shall be decided finally by the laws and judges of the land, wherein the said goods are. And where, on the death of any person, holding real estate, within the territories of the one party, such real estate would, by the laws of the land, descend on a citizen or subject of the other, were he not disqualified by alienage, such subject shall be allowed a reasonable time to sell the same, and to withdraw the proceeds, without molestation, and exempt from all rights of detraction on the part of the government of the respective States. But this article shall not derogate in any manner from the force of the laws already published, or hereafter to be published by his Majesty the King of Prussia, to prevent the emigration of his subjects.
ARTICLE XI. The most perfect freedom of conscience and of worship, is granted to the citizens or subjects of either party, within the jurisdiction of the other, and no person shall be molested in that respect, for any cause other than an insult on the religion of others. Moreover, when the subjects or citizens of the one party, shall die within the jurisdiction of the other, their bodies shall be buried in the usual burying grounds, or other decent and suitable places, and shall be protected from violation or disturbance.
ARTICLE XII. Experience having proved, that the principle adopted in the twelfth article of the treaty of 1785, according to which free ships make free goods has not been sufficiently respected during the two last wars, and especially in that which still continues, the two contracting parties propose, after the return of a general peace, to agree either separately between themselves, or jointly with other powers alike interested, to con-
cert with the great maritime powers of Europe, such arrangements and such permanent principles as may serve to communicate the liberty and the safety of the neutral navigation and commerce in future wars. And in the interval, either of the contracting parties should be engaged in a war, to which the other should remain neutral, the ships of war and privateers of the belligerent power, shall conduct themselves towards the merchant vessels of the neutral power, as favourably as the course of the war then existing may permit, observing the principles and rules of the law of nations, generally acknowledged.
ARTICLE XIII. And in the same case of one of the contracting parties, being engaged in war, with any other power, to prevent all the difficulties and misunderstandings, that usually arise respecting merchandise of contraband, such as arms, ammunition and military stores of every kind, no such articles carried in the vessels, or by the subjects or citizens of either party, to the enemy's of the other, shall be deemed contraband, so as to induce confiscation or condemnation and a loss of property to individuals. Nevertheless it shall be lawful to stop such vessels and articles, and to detain them for such length of time, as the captors may think necessary to prevent the inconvenience, or damage that might ensue from their proceedings, paying however, a reasonable compensation for the loss such arrest shall occasion to the proprietors; and it shall further be allowed to use in the service of the captors, the whole or any part of the military stores so detained, paying the owners the full value of the same, to be ascertained by the current price at the place of its destination. But in a case supposed of a vessel stopped for articles of contraband, if the matter of the vessel stopped will deliver out the goods supposed to be of contraband nature, she shall be admitted to do it, and the vessel shall not in that case be carried into any port, nor further detained, but shall be allowed to proceed on her voyage.
All cannons, mortars, fire arms, pistols, bombs, grenades, bullets, balls, muskets, flints, matches, powder, salt petre, sulphur, cuirasses, pikes, swords, belts, cartridge boxes, saddles and bridles, beyond the quantity necessary for the use of the ship, or beyond that which every man serving on board the vessel, or passenger, ought to have; and in general whatever is comprized under the denomination of arms and military stores, of what description soever, shall be deemed objects of contraband.
ARTICLE XIV. To ensure to the vessels of the two contracting parties, the advantage of being readily and certainly known in time of war, it is agreed, that they shall be provided with the Sea letters and documents hereafter specified:
1. A passport, expressing the name, the property and the burthen of the vessel, as also the name and dwelling of the master, which passport shall be made out in good and due form, shall be renewed as often as the vessel shall return into port, and shall be exhibited whenever required, as well in the open sea as in port. But if the vessel be under convoy of one or more vessels of War, belonging to the neutral party, the simple declaration of the officer commanding the convoy, that the said vessel belongs to the party of which he is, shall be considered as establishing the fact, and shall relieve both parties from the trouble of further examination. 2. A Charter party; that is to say, the contract passed for the freight of the whole vessel—or the bills of lading given for the cargo in detail. 3. The list of the ships company, containing an indication by name and in detail of the persons composing the crew of the vessel. These documents shall always be authenticated according to the forms, established at the place, from which the vessel shall have failed.
As their production ought to be exacted only when one of the contracting parties shall be at war, and as their exhibition ought to have no other object than to prove the neutrality of the vessel, its cargo and company, they shall not be deemed absolutely necessary on board such vessels, belonging to the neutral party, as shall have failed from its ports, before or within three months after the Government shall have been informed of the State of war, in which the belligerent party shall be engaged. In the interval, in default of these specific documents, the neutrality of the vessel may be established by such other evidence, as the tribunals authorised to judge of the case may deem sufficient.
ARTICLE XV. And to prevent entirely all disorder and violence, in such cases, it is stipulated, that when the vessels of the neutral party, sailing without convoy, shall be met by any vessel of war, public or private, of the other party, such vessel of war shall not send more than two or three men in their boat on board the said neutral vessel, to examine her passport and documents. And all persons belonging to any vessel of war, public or private, who shall molest or insult in any manner whatsoever, the people, vessels or effects of the other party, shall be responsible in their persons and property for damages and interest, sufficient security for which shall be given by all commanders of private armed vessels before they are commissioned.
ARTICLE XVI. In times of war, or in cases of urgent necessity, when either of the contracting parties shall be obliged to lay a general embargo, either in all its ports or in certain particular places, the vessels of the other party, shall be subject to this measure, upon the same footing, as those of the most favoured nations, but without having the right to claim the exemption in their favor stipulated in the 12th article of the former treaty of 1785. But on the other hand the proprietors of the vessels, which shall have
been detained, whether for some military expedition, or for what other use soever, shall obtain from the Government that shall have employed them, an equitable indemnity, as well for the freight as for the loss occasioned by the delay. And furthermore in all cases of seizure, detention, or arrest, for debts contracted or offences committed by any citizen or subject of the one party, within the jurisdiction of the other, the same shall be made and prosecuted by order and authority of law, only, and according to the regular course of proceedings used in such cases.
ARTICLE XVII. If any vessel or effects of the neutral power be taken by an enemy of the other, or by a pirate, and retaken by the power at war, they shall be restored to the first proprietor, upon the conditions hereafter stipulated in the twenty-first article for cases of recapture.
ARTICLE XVIII. If the citizens or subjects of either party, in danger from tempests, pirates, enemies, or other accident, shall take refuge with their vessels or effects, within the harbors or jurisdiction of the other, they shall be received, protected and treated with humanity and kindness, and shall be permitted to furnish themselves at reasonable prices, with all refreshment, provisions and other things necessary for their subsistence, health, and accommodation, and for the repair of their vessels.
ARTICLE XIX. The vessels of war, public and private, of both parties, shall carry freely wheresoever they please, the vessels and effects taken from their enemies, without being obliged to pay any duties, charges, or fees to officers of admiralty, of the customs, or any others; nor shall such prizes be arrested, searched, or put under legal process, when they come to and enter the ports of the other party, but may freely be carried out again at any time by their captors to the places expressed in their commissions, which the commanding officer of such vessel shall be obliged to shew. But conformably to the treaties existing between the United States and Great Britain, no vessel, that shall have made a prize upon British subjects, shall have a right to shelter in the ports of the United States, but if forced therein by tempests, or any other danger, or accident of the sea, they shall be obliged to depart as soon as possible.
ARTICLE XX. No citizen or subject of either of the contracting parties shall take from any power with which the other may be at war, any commission or letter of marque, for arming any vessel to act as a privateer against the other, on pain of being punished as a pirate; nor shall either party hire, send or give any part of its naval or military force to the enemy of the other, to aid them offensively or defensively against the other.
ARTICLE XXI. If the two contracting parties should be engaged in a war against a common enemy, the following Point shall be observed between them.
1. If a vessel of one of the parties, taken by the enemy, shall, before being carried into a neutral or enemy's port, be taken by a ship of war or privateer of the other, it shall with the cargo, be restored to the first owners, for a compensation of one eighth part of the value of the said vessel and cargo, if the recapture be made by a public ship of war, and one sixth part, if made by a privateer. 2. The restitution in such cases shall be after due proof of property, and surety given for the part to which the captors are entitled. 3. The vessels of war, public and private, of the two parties, shall reciprocally be admitted with their prizes into the respective ports of each, but the said prizes shall not be discharged, or sold there, until their legality shall have been decided according to the laws and regulations of the state to which the captor belongs, but by the judicatories of the place, into which the prize shall have been conducted. 4. It shall be free to each party to make such regulations as they shall judge necessary, for the conduct of their respective vessels of war, public and private, relative to the vessels, which they shall take, and carry into the ports of the two parties.
ARTICLE XXII. When the contracting parties shall have a common enemy, or shall both be neutral, the vessels of war of each shall upon all occasions take under their protection the vessels of the other going the same course, and shall defend such vessels as long as they hold the same course, against all force and violence, in the same manner as they ought to protect and defend vessels belonging to the party of which they are.
ARTICLE XXIII. If war should arise between the two contracting parties, the merchants of either country, then residing in the other, shall be allowed to remain nine months to collect their debts and settle their affairs, and may depart freely carrying off all their effects, without molestation or hindrance, and all women and children, scholars of every faculty, cultivators of the earth, artisans, manufacturers, and fishermen, unarmed and inhabiting unfortified towns, villages or places, and in general all others, whose occupations are for the common subsistence and benefit of mankind, shall be allowed to continue their respective employments, and shall not be molested in their persons, nor shall their houses, or goods be burnt, or otherwise destroyed, nor their fields wasted by the armed force of the enemy, into whose power, by the events of war, they may happen to fall; but if any thing is necessary to be taken from them for the use of such armed force, the same shall be paid for at a reasonable price.
ARTICLE XXIV. And to prevent the destruction of prisoners of War, by sending them into distant and inclement countries, or by crowding them into close and noxious places, the two contracting parties solemnly pledge themselves to the world and to each other, that they will not adopt any such practice; that
neither will send the prisoners, whom they may take from the other, into the East-Indies or any other part of Asia or Africa, but they shall be placed in some part of their dominions in Europe or America, in wholesome situations; that they shall not be confined in dungeons, prison-ships, nor prisons, nor be put into irons, nor bound, nor otherwise retained in the use of their limbs; that the officers shall be enlarged on their paroles within convenient districts, and have comfortable quarters, and the common men be disposed in cantonments open and extensive enough for air and exercise, and lodged in barracks as roomy and good as are provided by the party in whose power they are, for their own troops; that the officers shall also be daily furnished by the party in whose power they are, with as many rations, and of the same articles and quality as are allowed by them, either in kind, or by commutations to officers of equal rank in their own army; and all others shall be daily furnished by them, with such rations as they shall allow to a common soldier in their own service; the value whereof shall be paid by the other party on a mutual adjustment of accounts for the subsistence of prisoners at the close of the war; and the said accounts shall not be mingled with or set off, against any others, nor the balances due on them be withheld as a satisfaction or reprisal for any other article, or for any other cause, real or pretended, whatever. That each party shall be allowed to keep a commissary of prisoners of their own appointment, with every separate cantonment of prisoners in possession of the other, which commissary shall see the prisoners as often as he pleases, shall be allowed to receive and distribute whatever comforts may be sent to them by their friends; and shall be free to make his reports in open letters to those, who employ him; but if any officers shall break his parole, or any other prisoner shall escape from the limits of his cantonment after they shall have been designated to him, such individual officer or other prisoner shall forfeit so much of the benefit of this article as provides for his enlargement on parole or cantonment. And it is declared, that neither the pretence, that war disallows all treaties, nor any other whatever shall be considered as annulling or suspending this and the next preceding article; but on the contrary that the state of war is precisely that for which they are provided, and during which they are to be as sacredly observed as the most acknowledged articles in the law of nature and nations.
ARTICLE XXV. The two contracting parties have granted to each other the liberty of having each in the ports of the other, consuls, vice consuls, agents and commissaries of their own appointment, who shall enjoy the same privilege and powers, as those of the most favoured nations. But if any such consuls shall exercise commerce, they shall be submitted to the same laws and usages, to which the private individuals of their nation are submitted in the same place.
ARTICLE XXVI. If either party shall hereafter grant to any other nation, any particular favor in navigation or commerce, it shall immediately become common to the other party, freely, where it is freely granted to such other nation, or on yielding the same compensation when the grant is conditional.
ARTICLE XXVII. His Majesty the King of Prussia and the United States of America agree, that this treaty shall be in force during the term of ten years from the exchange of the ratifications; and if the expiration of that term should happen during the course of a war between them, then the articles before provided for the regulation of their conduct during such a war, shall continue in force until the conclusion of the treaty, which shall restore peace.
This treaty shall be ratified on both sides, and the ratification exchanged within one year from the day of its signature or sooner if possible.
In testimony whereof the Plenipotentiaries before mentioned have hereto subscribed their names and affixed their seals. Done at Berlin the eleventh of July in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 26. Last evening, the First Dancing Assembly for the season was held at Mr. Stilles. The company consisting of above one hundred ladies and gentlemen, among the latter of whom were several public characters, and members of the Federal Legislature assembled at an early hour. The exhibition was flattering to the expanding prospects of Washington; and the universal spirit of good humour and gaiety which prevailed is the truest evidence of the amicable sentiments which characterise in an eminent degree the citizens of the metropolis.

By this Day's Mail
WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 27. OFFICIAL.
Extract of a letter from captain Little, of the ship Bolton, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated
Nantashet Road, Nov. 15, 1800. I HAVE the honour to inform you, that I arrived here last evening, in company with the French national corvette Le Berceau, citizen Louis Andre, Senes, commander, captured on the 12th of October, in lat. 22, 50, North, long. 51, West, after an action of two hours.
With regret I mention our loss on board the Bolton—3 killed in the action, 3 mortally wounded, since dead; among the latter was Mr. Samuel Young, the purser, who requested liberty to quit the cockpit and assist on the quarter deck. He fell early in the action. Eight were wounded, but are all on the recovery.
The Bolton was much injured in her masts, spars, rigging and sails, considering the force of the corvette, which compelled me to return from my cruise to rest. By next mail I shall be able to furnish you with every particular, and
Remain with great respect, Your obedient Servant, GEORGE LITTLE.
List of men killed and wounded in action on board the Bolton.
William Ford, ordinary seaman, killed. James Higgins, do. do. do. Mathias Jafey, seaman, do. William M'Kee, marine, do. Mr. Samuel Young, purser, mortally wounded.
Thomas Hartley, marine, do. Nathaniel Dill, ordinary seaman, do.
Mr. John M. Halwell, midshipman, shot thro' the wrist joint.
George Groome, seaman, one leg shot off, the other wounded.
Gavin Walkinshaw, seaman, one arm shot off, and part of the other hand.
Francis Rose, seaman, shot through the thigh.
John Runclett, do. shot through the arm.
Frank Francis, ordinary seaman, wounded with splinters.
John Alfred, seaman, do. John Collins, ordinary seaman, do.
The enemy's loss I have not been able to ascertain, as they had thrown overboard their watch and quarter bills and most of their papers; but from the best information I have been able to obtain, they had upwards of 230 men when the action commenced; 197 were found on board after the action, including the wounded, who were 18.
POUGHKEEPSLE, November 25. Messrs. Power and Southwick, I observed in your paper of the 4th ult. a statement of a Duel said to have been fought between David L. Perkins, ladder, and myself.
I have delayed contradicting it in order to obtain from you the names of the authors, and laying them before the public, to appear in as odious a light as they too justly deserve. Mr. Frederick Teator and Mr. Hugh Walker are the authors names, given to me by my friend Mr. Samuel Heke, who was authorised by me to demand them of you, they are inhabitants of this town, well known for their respectability alias rascality. The former is a tavern keeper, and a man of a turbulent and malevolent disposition—the latter a poor drunken taylor. A prosecution, however, is commenced against them for defamation. JOSEPH C. COOPER. Rhinebeck, Nov. 20, 1800.

TO THE PUBLIC.
SIX months have elapsed, since the present Editor of this Gazette, became its sole proprietor, by purchase, from Mr. Jno. W. Fenno. He therefore deems it proper, at this period, to state some particulars relative to it, as, and since the time when it became his establishment.
The Gazette of the United States, had from its commencement, been conducted, at different periods, by two gentlemen, of acknowledged talents and respectability; hence it merited and obtained countenance from a very numerous and respectable class of the community. It was, therefore, reasonably concluded, that on its becoming the property of another, who from several years absence from his native city, was recognized only by private friends, that a proportion of those who had previously honored it by their support, would withdraw their names. This was partially the case—but so far from retaining the fears entertained on this point, not one fourth of the number contemplated, have relinquished. This alone was a favourable omen, but it is infinitely more gratifying to observe, that, the numbers added to his subscription list, have exceeded his calculations two-fold.
In the Advertising department, many favours are acknowledged, but as on this particular, rests the ability to meet large pecuniary, weekly disbursements, it is found requisite to solicit a more liberal support.
This paper, exclusive of the number circulated in this city, is read in every town, of any importance, in the United States, and in the advertising line, will be found highly beneficial to the Mercantile part of the community.
It will be deemed superfluous, at this time, to enter into a detail of the political principles of the Editor—the motives which actuate him, and his general plan of editing. They are now universally known, and it is highly pleasing to find, that they are generally approved of, by a respectable portion of the community, who have sanctioned that approbation with their names and purses.
It may be observed by some honest, worthy men, that the style of the Gazette is sometimes violent, and that private persons, are at those times attacked—To the charge of violence he objects, that of warmth is cheerfully admitted; and he will here observe, that advocating truth, and the dearest interests of his country, he feels a zeal, which he thinks, and they on reflection must admit, is laudable. Those, who object to his giving full scope to his feelings on this subject, will do well to consider, that he has to contend with an unprincipled, daring, and aspiring faction; who threaten every thing virtuous, with total subversion, whose only arguments are falsehood and calumny.
Private characters, are held sacred, generally speaking, but when turbulent aliens and naturalized citizens, become bawlers at town meetings, and write libel after libel on the first characters in our country; When they fancy with their detested names the most glaring falsehoods and the vilest detraction, amid such an uproar, silence would be criminal. Such men and those only has the Editor dragged before the American people; he has opposed them, and will continue to oppose them, and from the strongest ties of attachment to America, he will unceasingly combat with all the means in his power, the insidious and inveterate foes to this country whether foreign or domestic, under whatever specious garb they may please to assume.
CONGRESS.
In the House of Representatives of the U. States, on Thursday and Friday last, several new members appeared, were qualified, and took their seats.
A committee of seven was appointed to carry into effect the resolutions of last session, commemorative of the military and political services of General Washington.
Sundry petitions and reports of committees were read, and ordered to lie on the table.
On the 27th ult. many of the members of the House, went in carriages to the President, to deliver their address, and a considerable number declined going.
Extract of a letter, dated Lancaster, Nov. 30th 1800.
On Friday morning, the bill for appointing Electors of President and Vice President was renewed in the Senate by Mr. Findley, who offered a bill similar to that of Mr. Boileau, for a joint vote of the two houses for 15 electors, which was made the order for Saturday. The same amendments were made as in a former occasion, viz. 7 to 8. The Bill was then sent down to the House of Representatives, who amended it, so that each house should nominate 15 and out of the 30 so nominated 15 electors should be appointed by a joint vote. This bill will go up to the Senate tomorrow, who will no doubt reject it. It is thought by some that the house of Representatives will then recede from their amendment and take the 7 and 8; others are of a different opinion. How it will terminate it is impossible to say.
The Earthquake which was felt at Lancaster, Wilmington, &c. and of which an account was published yesterday, was felt here about the same time, though as it is not unusual to hear a similar noise in the city, from the driving of carriages, waggons &c. all hours of the night, it created a very little enquiry. A person who paid some attention to the shock, was wakened by it between 4 and 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning the 20th instant, when he stood upright in his bed, which appeared to rock like a cradle, concussion and noise gradually decreased till it subsided. In the neighbourhood of the city, we understand it was felt much more sensibly.
Quere. Is this a fulfilment of an old prophecy, which predicts that "towards the latter end of the year 1800, and the 3 following years, there shall be great Earthquakes in America, Europe and Asia?"
[Baltimore paper.]
There is now living in the town of Clonmel, Ireland, a man named Sheedy, who from every reasonable calculation, can want little of being 100 years of age. He has three times cut full grown timber of his own planting, and is now seen reaping under the shade of the fourth planting. His wife has been more than ten years bed ridden, and has had no other attendant than himself; his memory is tenacious, all the faculties of sense unimpaired, and he walks erect, and apparently as strong as at the age of forty. It is to be remarked that this man has always had a great aversion to strong liquors.
The following singular account of a phenomenon which appeared to the air near the village of Quintana, in the Province of Burgos, in Spain, is given in the Paris Papers, as an extract from the Journal of Madrid, of the 7th of July:—
"At 11 o'clock in the morning of the 11th of June, a stormy cloud was seen at the extremity of the village of Quintana, towards the north, and a very thick fog which seemed to proceed from the adjacent mountains having joined it in a very gross column they formed together a very fantastic figure, with arms, feet, & a long tail. The resemblance of a very large serpent, of a sky blue colour, was soon after plainly discerned, as proceeding from the junction of the cloud & fog which extended itself so far as to touch the earth. It emitted from time to time torrents of fire of a dark red colour, and at length separated itself from the cloud in the direction of the village, with frequent eruptions of flames and sparks of fire. The inhabitants were very much terrified, but a violent gale from the north separated it in the southern extremity, while the greater part advanced within 400 paces of the village."
"It was seen to tear up in its passage several large stones and trees. In particular, a very large oak was first stripped of its leaves, and afterwards torn up by the roots. It destroyed all the cherry and apple trees in its way, & burnt up the ground over which it passed, for more than sixty paces. This singular phenomenon continued its depredations for about 25 minutes, and then again joined the cloud out of which it came. The damage which it did to the vineyards is very considerable."
This account is given upon the authority of the Curate of the village, and several respectable inhabitants who were eye-witnesses of the transaction.
A convicted sheep-stealer, in Ireland; when called upon for his defence on his trial, made the Court smile by the following curious one:—
"My Lord, this is a very pretty story these here witnesses have told your honour about me. They want to make you believe that it was an uncommon affair to find a few joints of mutton in my house, whereas they all knows that I've been in the butchering line these many years; that is, my Lord, I buys up all the rotten sheep and cows. The farmers knows it my Lord. Now you must know my Lord, this here man, (pointing to one of the witnesses,) this here fellow, is the only one that opposes me in that line: he knows, my Lord if he can do
me, it'll be a pretty penny in his pocket. I dare say my Lord, if I'm done, it will be a fortune to him for full 154, a year. So you see, my Lord, he is a pretty fellow for a witness. Then, my Lord, here's this other fellow, (pointing to another witness,) he owes me a grudge, as you may suppose, for you must know, I'm a law suit with him, and cast him, so he's sore. Indeed, my Lord, I only cut him, as you may say, because the fact was, we was both ca; that is, my Lord, we were laid upon our backs, for the lawyers got every farthing of him and me too. So you see, my Lord, taking all these things into consideration, there's not much to be depended on what they say."
Anecdote of Frederick the Great.
An ordinance of Frederick's had created great discontent among his troops. In the first moment of indignation, the soldiers of the garrison of Potsdam wished to take advantage of the facility which the Monarch afforded to all his subjects, and particularly to the soldiers, to approach him, for the purpose of stating any grievances they laboured under. This philosophical King certainly liked to hear them as little as any other King. He knew particularly the danger of suffering, the spirit of deliberation to insinuate itself into troops with arms in their hands. The deputation from the garrison began their march. An officer, acquainted with their intention, informed Frederick. He expected to receive orders from him to make them return to the barracks. No such thing. "They want to see me? Well, let them come—Good Soldiers are fond of being near their General." "But, Sire, the inconveniences of such a measure. This will lead to a second, and soon each of your orders will be difficult." "No matter, let them enter." The soldiers entered. To do honour to the Prussian discipline, they drew up in a line, with the air of respect due to their General. As soon as Frederick saw them he drew his sword, and gave the word of command which is usually given before the men begin their exercise—Achtung!—In English, Attention. After this command no talking is allowed in the ranks. The greatest stillness and silence prevailed—To the right wheel—to the left wheel. The soldiers executed these commands with the Prussian precision. All at once the King called out "To the right about." They then forced the door—"March." The soldiers immediately marched out, and as the King did not cry "Halt!" they kept marching on till they arrived at the barracks. Their comrades immediately pressed round them to demand the result of their petition. "We did not speak to the King.—But you have just left him—True—Why did you not follow your instructions? It was impossible—Faithful deputation! Don't be in a passion; had you been in our place, you would have done the same. This was the case. They then told what had happened."
SPORTING IN INDIA.
BOMBAY, JAN. 14.
On Saturday last a great concourse of gentlemen and some ladies assembled at the riding-school, to enjoy an amusement of rather a novel nature in this settlement, the baiting a buffalo, horses, wild boars, and a leopard, which were provided for the purpose. The spectators were separated from the performers on this occasion by a bamboo railing of considerable height, and the gallery, and every place from which the proposed exhibition could be seen, was crowded the first thing to which the leopard was introduced was an artificial human figure, which the animal attacked and tore with great ferocity, thereby giving his spectators a very tolerable idea of what they were to expect, were but the barriers that protected them either removed or overcome. A wild hog was next ushered in; but the leopard, with a true Musselman aversion for swine's flesh, rather avoided this animal, which also upon part shewed no disposition to hostilities. Every possible expedient was then used by the gentlemen in the exterior of the railing to provoke the leopard to battle He was teased with squibs and crackers, and pelted with every kind of annoyance, until at length, irritated to the highest pitch of exasperation against his tormentors, he made a spring, with which to the terror and astonishment of all present, he reached the top of the lofty railing which divided the house, and would in another second have been down among the thickest of the crowd, had not the master of the school fortunately had a loaded gun by him, and at the critical instant fired, and shot the animal who received the ball between the breast and shoulder, and immediately fell over into his enclosure. The consternation which prevailed among the Ladies and Gentlemen on this alarming occasion, can be better imagined than described, each person being willing to wave all core money, in order to establish his own right of precedence, the gallery stairs being rather narrower than suited the desires of the company many betook themselves to the windows, through which they made a very rapid passage.

As the manufacturing this linen is likely to give employment to the poor, during the winter season, and as the owners of the Society who employ them, are much reduced, they hope their fellow citizens, who are in want of this article will give their aid, by purchasing, to enable them to carry on the manufacture the ensuing winter. N.B. Also a quantity of good SHOE THREAD, at Isaac T. Hopper, No. 39, Pine street. The Printers generally are required to give his a place in their papers.

Prevention better than Cure.

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.
Rats 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, 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 in flammations.
The Anodyne Elixir.
For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infalible 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.
