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...
Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertions, 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 these attacks, 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 fulness, biliary and 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, tickens 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 so pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
This medicine has never failed, in many thou and 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.

A PROPOSAL
BY
William Young Birch,
AND
Abraham Small,
Of the City of Philadelphia,
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
THAT INVALUABLE WORK,
DR. RUSSELL'S
HISTORY OF
Modern Europe.
With an account of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Rise of Modern Kingdoms, &c. &c.
THE great applause which this excellent book has received, is a sure proof of its merits. The vast scale which it has had for several years, is a fair criterion by which the public opinion of its worth can be known. During the life of the learned author, it went through the annual sale of a very large impression every succeeding edition received some improvement the result of his deep researches and great judgment—he lived to make it as perfect as in the nature of things it could be—he is dead! Whilst the English language is read, the History of Modern Europe will remain a monument to his fame! It is as entertaining as instructive; as interesting as profound. The plan of the work is copious, but by so happy arrangement, the reader is at once presented with the cotemporary history of every part of Europe. The book now offered to the public is from the last and most corrected copy, to which this shall be no way inferior.
IT CONTAINS—
An history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire. The rise of modern kingdoms, generally. A particular history of the French monarchy. Do. Spain from the dominion of the Visigoths. Italy, from the rise and progress of the Temporal Power of the Popes. Britain, from its relinquishment by the Romans. Ireland. The German empire, from Charlemagne. The empire of Constantinople to its overthrow. Empire of the Arabs. Rise and progress of the Turks and fall of the Greek empire. History of Portugal; View of the progress of Navigation; Conquests in the East and West Indies; Discovery of America, &c. History of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Poland and Prussia; North-America, as connected with European history. A very comprehensive and highly useful chronology.
CONDITIONS.
I. The whole shall be comprised in five large octavo volumes, printed in the best manner, on a superfine paper. II. It is intended to deliver one volume every two months, at the price of Two Dollars per volume in boards, payable on delivery. III. As it may be inconvenient to deliver them to distant subscribers in single volumes, those who wish it, may let them remain with the publishers until the whole are published.
The work is at press and will be printed on a beautiful new type cast for the purpose. The encouragers of this undertaking may rest assured, that nothing now foreseen shall delay its regular procedure; so that in one year at farthest the citizens of the United States shall be presented with an American Edition of Doct. Russell's History of Modern Europe, equal to the English copy, and at a lower price. June 24

300 Dollars
REWARD.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 18th of June last, TWO NEGRO SERVANTS; viz a negro woman named Pat, a washer-woman and cook, of about fifty two years of age—tall and well shaped, of a black complexion. She has bad teeth, those of her under jaw are much discoloured and project a good deal. She has a full head of woolly hair—a very cross forbidding countenance, is very impertinent, and laughs and talks loud. Pat was born in South-Carolina, and speaks bad English, with the negro dialect. She has on the upper part of her breast, two pretty large lumps of flesh resembling Wens, or rather with the appearance of the marks of a burn. She carried away with her several changes of cloaths, and gowns of white mullin, and of coloured and figured printed cottons fashionably made up. She also carried away with her, CLARA her daughter—a short stature, and round shouldered—appearing to be about 14 years of age. Clara has large staring eyes, a flat nose, an oval flat face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artful and impudent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good language, and has been taught to read. She has the appearance of ring worms: on her left cheek and chin; the skin in spots appearing much paler than the rest of her complexion, which is much lighter than her mother's—Her hair is short and woolly. She wore a pink ground printed cotton with a small black figure, with new fore parts. Also ran away, on Wednesday the 11th inst. June, DICK and AMELIA. Dick, or as he has lately called himself, Richard Weaver, is a house-servant—he is about 5 feet 7 inches high, rather small made, is about 25 years old, of a good smooth, black complexion—he has a flat nose, with very large open nostrils. He carried his head and neck as if he were stiff in the neck and shoulders, which are high and colorably square, and his neck short—his legs are straight but small and illly made, with scarce any calf. He has bad teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward—he has a full head of woolly hair, which he plait and dresses to the best advantage. His voice is small, his speech commonly mild and slow, and his manners appear extremely simple, but he is at bottom an artful knave, and when spoken to is very apt to be passionate and impertinent. Dick is a native of South-Carolina, and speaks bad English—he seduced and carried away with him AMELIA, who he called his wife.
Amelia is a very complete, well instructed ladies maid, much below the common stature and of a small make—her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or mеззіно, nearly resembling that of the Lafaree of India, with black curling hair, and a very low forehead—her right eye has a great weakness, owing to the small pox in her infancy—under her eyes very black—a flat face, flat broad nose, with scarce any rising at the bridge; a large mouth, with thick lips, and good strong teeth. On the nape of her neck she has the marks of a Seton. Dresses with taste, and imitates the French style; is very sensible, and expresses herself well. She took with her a variety of clothes, fashionably made—she has for more than two years each year made 10 lts, which at times give her a wilderness in her eyes—her health is generally delicate—she is at present likely to enclose her family, and is about 22 years of age—she can dress hair, clear search, has a taste for military and manua-making; and as she is very ingenious, can turn her hand to anything and may probably offer herself to some milliner or mantua maker as a work-woman. As Amelia has heretofore been a great favourite of a very indulgent mistress, and is believed has been led away by the persuasion of her paramour Dick, if she will return to me, she will be forgiven and treated with the same tenderness she has always received.
FIFTY DOLLARS Reward for each will be paid for the delivery of Pat and Clara to the subscriber, or to any goal in the United States, so that I may get possession of them—One Hundred Dollars each for Dick and Amelia, on the like delivery. The subscriber wants all master of vessels, from taking these Runaway Servants from the United States, and requests such of his friends and acquaintance as it may not suit to arrest them, to give information, should they hear of either of the fugitives, to the subscriber by letter directed to the post office, Philadelphia, which will find him, wherever he may pass the summer, or to the Printer of the Gazette of the United States, who will communicate it to a friend in Philadelphia to act on his behalf.

To "NO INNOVATOR."
IN the Gazette of the United States of Wednesday last, you have a number of observations upon the new philosophy, which you denominate illuminationism , and amidst your animadversions on the evils attending it, you single out the author of an essay on the amusements and punishments proper for school-boys , whom you affect to consider as a disciple of the "new philosophy," and abuse accordingly.
It is not from a desire to vindicate this gentleman that I take notice of your essay, for I have no time to waste in refuting the calumnies and little meaning, can hurt no man, however vulnerable he may be to the shafts of true satire; but I think nevertheless that a little advice may not be improperly bestowed upon you.
Give me leave to tell you, that what ever may be the errors of this gentleman, you have not the talents to set him right. I do not know you, but I judge from your essay, which is a jumble of nonsense as well as gross inconsistency. This I will undertake to prove to your own understanding. In the first place you say that he is one of those proud disciples of the new philosophy whose impudence and daring even exceeds their nonsense and impiety, and immediately you subjoin in a note that he is a " meek " man. Now search your dictionary and tell us if you can reconcile these expressions.
Again, in speaking in defence of religion, and against the doctrine of materialism, you say in one place that the great bulk of our citizens still reverence the religion and good sense of old times , and afterwards you are of quite the contrary opinion, and assert that " the factions in this country " as well as all the wars in Europe are owing to a sickly taste for novelty and paradox ; that there is a " general corruption of manners and principles ," and that a rage for innovation infests both public and private life . These words I quote from you, Sir, to show your foolish inconsistency; but you fully appear in another light, distinct from this. Here, it is in your manner of handling the subject; but it was further, a folly in you to handle it at all. The cause of religion is only injured, when such bunglers as you attempt to defend it. You only bring the principles of its enemies into notice, without the ability to treat them as they deserve. You provoke the wild beast which you have not strength to destroy.
After this, Mr. No-innovator , let me ask you one question. Your piece contains a general discussion of subjects, into which you contrive to bring some sneers against a particular person. Now which was your motive for writing, the consideration of the subject, or the personal abuse? And, if the latter, in what character do you oppose him, as a man who is very influential, and whose errors are therefore material to be corrected, or as one against whom you have some latent reason for dislike, and whose opinions you attack, not because you disapprove them but because he is their author?
I do not suppose you will answer this question, nor that you can answer it fairly, without betraying your depravity. You may suppose, from the spirit of it, that he who puts it is some friend of the man you decry, but I solemnly declare I have no personal acquaintance with him. My regard for him arises only from my knowledge of his character, and of those benevolent acts of his which during various seasons of public calamity have deserved the thanks of man and woman . By those actions he has merited the praises and prayers of every man, and that any should be found to withhold them, is not his reproach, but theirs.
JUSTICE.
POLITICAL.
From the Connecticut Courant.
No. II.
To the People of the United States.
THE first proposition which I have to prove, is—Mr. Jefferson has long felt a spirit of deadly hostility against the Federal Constitution, and in conjunction with his party, has become steadily plotting its destruction.
To support this proposition, I shall resort to various sources for evidence and argument.
1. Mr. Jefferson's writings furnish strong proof, that he dislikes all government, which is capable of affording protection and security to those who live under it. About 12 or 15 years ago, Mr. Jefferson published his "Notes on Virginia." The edition which I have was published in London, in 1787. At that period it was fashionable, especially in this country, to theorize about government. Elevated with the success of our struggle for Independence, we were in our own opinions, very wise. All the ideas which were derived from experience, were hooted at, and every chamber politician was able to plan and erect systems of government, competent for all the exigencies of a large and encircling nation. That Mr. Jefferson ranks high in this class of government makers, is now generally acknowledged. In addition to his native flock of visionary nonsense, he had imbibed in his European visit, large supplies from the French school, which was then plotting the overthrow of their government, and lighting the torches of that dreadful fire, which has laid waste nearly half the civilized globe. A
few expressions from this book of Mr. Jefferson, will show what his ideas on this subject were. Writing on the subject of universal toleration, and attempting to prove that one kind of religion is as good as another, Mr. Jefferson says—"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only, as are injurious to others. But, it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god." It neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg."
By this passage, we are plainly taught this lesson—that morals are no object for the attention, or care of government; that all we have to trouble ourselves about, is, the conduct of the individuals of the community—a lesson which is fraught with all the mischiefs which are now exhibiting, and which have for years been practised by the abettors of the French Revolution. The doctrine is this—that if a man believes in the recrudite of murder, atheism, rape, adultery, &c., it is of no importance, because if neither breaks our legs, nor picks our pockets; and as long as our pockets and legs are safe, government is satisfied. Let us then picture to ourselves a community, composed of such individuals; for, if it is improper to control, or restrain one man, in the free exercise of his opinions, it is equally improper to control, or restrain any number of men. We will then view a nation, whose laws suffer the free propagation of sentiments like these—viz.—That it is just to commit murder, violate female chastity, deny the existence of God, &c. According to Mr. Jefferson's ideas of legitimate government, this is just and ought to be tolerated, and no notice can be taken of it, until men actually do commit murder, rape, &c. But, if it is proper to preach these doctrines, why is it not to practise them? It certainly is; unless it is proper to introduce a system of lying into a community.
However, it is fair to acknowledge, that Mr. Jefferson implies in his reasoning, that tho' the sentiments do no real mischief, yet the practice of them would. Let us see if the practice will not necessarily follow the precept. According to the doctrine, men have an uncontrollable right to believe, and to inculcate what moral or religious sentiments they please, provided they do not practise them. Will not men generally practise what they believe, provided they are secure from legal punishment? Mr. Jefferson's murderers, atheists, &c. have nothing further to do, then, than to spread their doctrines, until a majority of the community shall become profelytes to the faith, and then the laws against the practice of murder, rape, robbery, &c. will be repealed, and the wholesome practice introduced in its fullest latitude.
I trust I am addressing those, who, generally, still believe in the existence of a God, of truth and justice, the momentous truths of Religion, and the hopes and fears of a future life; who are not yet prepared to part with their Bible, their morals, or their God. If so, let them seriously consider the extent of the sentiment of Mr. Jefferson which I am considering. I have but just touched upon it; the rest must be left for the more sober reflection of those who are interested in the fate of their country.
Mr. Jefferson sets up a claim to be our leader, our head; to fill the seat which once contained a Washington. I have brought this particular sentiment into view, as containing the seeds of those opinions, which have since sprung up in the life and writings of Mr. Jefferson, taking it for granted that he, like all other men, will endeavour as far as possible to introduce into practice, his favorite sentiments. His sentiments are, that a man has an uncontrollable right to believe what he pleases—mine are, that, when a man can do it with safety, he will forever practise what he believes. The result is too obvious to be mistaken. I shall pursue this subject in my next, by examining other passages in the same book.

DARING ATTEMPT
ON THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE, By a JACOBIN.
On the night of the 10th inst. a most daring attempt was made on the Secretary of State's Office, in the city of Washington...
From July 1 to 13, the whole number of Deaths in New-York of every disease, was 76—of whom 22 were men, 15 women, and 39 children.
Died, at his Father's, in York Town, Weddelscheffer County, on the 3d inst. of the consumption, Mr. Jacob Lang, in the 26th year of his age.
The United States frigate Essex, captain Preble, sailed from the Cape of Good Hope the 27th of March.
It is pleasing to observe that among men of common sense and discernment the infidel cavils of Tom Paine are now held in the utmost contempt and abhorrence.
The State of Connecticut is a sober and wise State. Its political thermometer is nicely graduated, and describes every vicissitude accurately.
The United States—May their union be continued, unless the rust of Democracy shall so far corrode the chain as to render it impossible either to mend or to brighten it.
The Constitution of the United States—May it be written of it, as of the Christian Sylem, that "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
President Adams—May we regard him for his former good works, and may he be saved from being ensnared by those who greet with a kiss, that they may destroy.
Memory of our immortal Washington—May his peaceful manes never be disturbed by innovating on the wise system of administration which he adopted.
The Aurora avers that the 4th of July was celebrated by none but republicans. This is certainly an exception to the usual false style of that paper.
Cooper and Callender were toasted by the democrats. It will next be the fashion among atheists and traitors to toast the Devil and his Dam, and Cataline and Catilina!
A lunatic and disjointed Essay in the Aurora is headed "Hamilton in Boston at dinner with the NOBLES and CLERGY!"
An Editor of a country newspaper, announcing the death of the celebrated Cowper the author of the Task, &c. pronounces in a very dull and downright style that "he was the best of modern poets."
The Editor of the Aurora, who feels goaded by the reproaches of his own party, respecting the perpetual blunders, vulgarity and incorrectness of his uncorrected style, has at length attempted reformation.
A gentleman observing the democratic flowings, and ale house cafe of a certain mad-cap and ci-devant Parson, well known by his raggings in the Aurora, remarked that it reminded him of a passage in Pope's Dunciad.
"How Laufus lay inspir'd, behind a fork And to mere mortals seems a Priest in Drink."
Wanted fadly by the Aurora man, a little money to procure that same Royal paper and those new types, of which he talked so magnificently the beginning of the winter.
Left last night, in a blind alley, a quarter of Gin, well distilled.—Whoever will return the precious liquor to Jasper Traitor, Elq. shall go snacks in boozing!

We folicit all American, Spanish, and French ships of war, and all others of our allies to capture every vessel entering or going out of these ports, of whatever nation they may be, promising to the captors the amount of the captures after they shall have been condemned.
We except from this measure only all vessels going out of the southern ports aforesaid to free themselves, from the revolt of Rigaud, which circumstance, the captain, owner, or passengers shall prove.

TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE, General in Chief.
The enemies of Mr. Adams and his election, alledge as the great reason for preferring Mr. Jefferson, that the former by his influence has introduced standing armies and a navy...
If it is possible for the people to view the expence of a navy as a burthen, why not attach blame to another part of the government—Surely they know that the laws authorizing its establishment must have originated and passed in Congress, before it could receive the President's sanction. [Virg. Fed.]
The following is a good epigram. It has the truth, nature and simplicity of the Grecian school, and, if translated by a Parr, or a Porson, might be included in the "Anthologia."
On a Natural Child destroyed by its Mother. 'Twas Love, that conquer'd SHAME, and gave thee breath, And SHAME, that, conquering Love, decreed thy death.
On a Contented Cuckold. Nigrinus leads a married life, Not with his own—but neighbour's wife, And though Cornelius knows its thus, The fool's Cornelius Tacitus.
On a Divine, whose sermons were of the opiate class. Dormouse esteems it wondrous add, That people, when he preaches, nod, As if he were a very proper.
Take comfort, Dormouse, though they blame Your oratory, you may claim The merit of a rare compiler!
If the Monseurs could have quietly contented themselves with their Frogs, not a soul in Europe would have grudged or envied them their cookery; but when they turned their genius to Crocodiles, it must be confessed they made a pretty little fish of it.
Lalande, the French Astronomer, complains that in a Dictionary of Atheists lately published, the names of several have been omitted. He thinks, however, that it is not very clear that Sir Isaac Newton, who is included in the list, was one of that description.
A German writer has lately come forward to prove, that War is not only the natural state of man, but that Society is so constructed that it would cease to exist should any long interval of peace occur.
Supercow, says a French journalist, never allows his men to be taught any of the manoeuvres of retreating. Among a number of ridiculous particulars which they ascribe to him, they assert that it is his practice every morning to call up his army, not by beat of drum, but by coming in front of his own tent, and crowing like a cock.
A small plant producing silk wool, similar to that of Syria, and equal in quality, has lately been discovered on some mountains in South Russia.
In lat. 38, a Str. it has been lately discovered, dividing Van Dieman's Land from New South Wales. A lieutenant belonging to the Reliance lately passed thro' it, and returned round the South Cape.
An Hibernian domestic lately travelling, was observed to be very earnestly employed in fastening a string to a bell which chanced to hang in the chamber where he was to sleep.
A German Chemist had lately amused himself in writing a long dissertation upon the Combustibility of the Human Body, and its readiness to catch a flame.
The French Papers give an account of a Citizen Lebrun, who was couched for a cataract, and who, immediately after the operation, was so perfectly well as to be able to distinguish his friends.
In the New Helvetic Constitution we observe one regulation that strikes us as extremely salutary, namely, that Ecclesiastical and Civil functions cannot be exercised by the same persons.

ADDRESS TO THE MOON.
Written at the sea-shore, July 31, 1799. Superior queen of night arise, And o'er the gloom thy lustre throw— In peerless glory through the skies, To bless the traveller here below.
AGRICOLA. LINES.
Written in a Garden-Seat. If Mirth alone to thee be dear, If Sorrow ne'er thy heart refin'd, If frolic Youth thy bosom cheer, And Spirits light, and Fortune kind, No longer let thine eyes peruse What here inherited thy glance may see; For all this artless verse would chuse, Unmarked by mortals blest like thee.
TO ELIZA.
THAT once I lov'd thee well, is true; I lov'd thy unassisted smile; Admird thine eyes, of azure blue, Ador'd thy bosom, void of guile. Thy artless converse charm'd my ear, Its innocence supply'd its zeal; Simplicity and Truth were there, To prove the frankness of thy breast.
Then learn from hence the will of fate— Its fix'd decree for once attend: N' solid joys, her days await, Who proves inconstant to a FRIEND.

It has been observed by a shrewd observer of things, that it is very imprudent for our merchant ships to disarm, merely on the report of our Commissioners having a chance to succeed in their negotiations with France. This, perhaps, is true; for our Commissioners have been long enough in France, to convince the world, that if France was serious in the inclination to make peace with America, that they would not, and did not intend to force us to it by acts of aggression on our commerce.

To do away all doubts with respect to the expenses of the undertaking, I do most solemnly declare that they will amount to very near FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS, and perhaps more, independent of any remuneration for my own trouble in the arduous business, and the great expense already incurred for specimens, proposals, advertisements, hand-bills, &c. &c. I do therefore trust with confidence, that gentlemen will continue to come forward with that public spirit and generosity which characterize the nation, and support the work by subscribing to it without hesitation: otherwise it cannot be published, and I must sit down to reflect upon a CONSIDERABLE LOSS. And am, with profound respect, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accomptant, Bank North America.
