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 now in use. They are found to possess a superiority over any others, both by being more durable and not so liable to get out of repair, and by copying any number of writings at one time, without making any alteration in the machine, and their occupying little room. 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, render it unnecessary to enlarge any further on their advantage, both in point of accuracy and secrecy and in the saving of time, labour and expence. november 1. tu&f.

THE LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship Echo, arrived at Halifax.
LONDON, Oct. 19.
Letters from Berlin state, that the Marquis de Lucchesini is soon to have a place in the Cabinet. It is certain that the King treats him with distinction. Although he does not enjoy the same favor as during the late reign; he possesses great influence, through the means of M. Lomond, Secretary of Foreign Affairs and M. de Kochwitz, the King's Adjutant, who are both in favor. M. de Lucchesini insists that Prussia ought to take an active part in the general concerns of Europe. He is not friendly to Austria, and he detests Thugut.
In the whole contents of the Paris papers that arrived on Wednesday evening, we find but one thing of importance, the double change which has taken place in the Administrations of Vienna and of Paris. From this, though no positive consequences can be deduced, we may, at least, draw some probable inferences. The appointment of Count Lehrbach, a man whom a paper of yesterday unjustly calls weak, in the room of Baron Thugut, appears to indicate that the political system of the latter is not abandoned, while the nomination of Count Cobenzel, as a Negotiator at Luneville has a contrary aspect. It is not impossible to reconcile this apparent opposition. We may suppose that the former has been done with an intention of producing satisfaction at Vienna, and the latter with a view to the same object at Paris. It is possible that the party which has placed Count Lehrbach in Administration, may not have been displeased that a person foreign to them should have been entrusted with the negotiation for peace. Count Cobenzel will naturally be a mere instrument; he cannot do any thing but what is previously decided at Vienna or what must be ratified there. His commission may not operate so much in favour of peace as some persons imagine. The sending of a Prussian Minister, M. Dohm, deserves to be remarked, and will have a particular influence on the issue of the Congress. It will be time to turn our attention to it when the fact shall be better authenticated. The Chief Consul appears desirous of rivaling another Foreign Government, in its mutability in the choice of Ministers and Generals. This imitation of the policy of the Directory, ought not to be passed over without observation; it shews very little consistency in the ideas of Buonaparte, or what is more probable, very little confidence in men who having been formerly his equals, are now reduced to be merely his tools.
From the Vienna Court Gazette, Sept. 27.
His Majesty the Emperor arrived here in perfect health, on his return from the army of Germany. A suspension of arms for 45 days has been concluded between the French and Austrian armies, and negotiations for peace with France are about to be opened.
His Majesty has seen with the greatest pleasure and the most lively gratitude the zeal which his subjects display for the defence of their country and their eagerness to contribute to it in the most active and efficacious manner.
As the issue of the negotiations is uncertain and as none but a just and suitable peace can be accepted, the faithful subjects of his Majesty are again invited and exhorted to redouble their zeal and their ardour in every thing which is necessary for the defence of their native country, and particularly for the bringing about a suitable peace so that this end may be obtained and the whole monarchy may enjoy tranquility and repose, and all the blessings which result from them.
PARIS, Oct. 5.
SIR SIDNEY SMITH.
In the beginning of last month a flag of truce arrived from Mahon, at Barcelona. It brought about 400 prisoners, Spanish Lirgaisan and French rescued by the English from Turkish slavery. The cruelties they had experienced would freeze the soul. Among them was young Thevenard, son of Thevenard of Toulon. He had lost a brother at the battle of Aboukir; and he himself had languished in chains among the Turks till Sir Sidney Smith was apprised of the circumstance. By means of letters and applications of every kind Sir Sidney procured his release. But this generous enemy did not stop there. He furnished Thevenard with money, clothes, &c. and recommendations to his brother at Constantinople, and for all the English naval officers. Sir Sidney carried his generosity so far as to equip an aviso to go and find him at Rhodes.
The following is a copy of one of the letters—Thevenard has, out of gratitude, preserved them all. They testify the pleasure which Sir Sidney enjoyed in restoring a son to his aged father, and in acknowledging the efforts, tho' fruitless, made by the brother of Thevenard to alleviate his captivity at Havre, previous, to his removal to the Temple.
Copy of a letter from Commodore Sir Sidney Smith, to Capt. Gabriel Thevenard, on board the Tyger, June 15 1800. M. Thevenard is requested to come and dine with Sir Sidney Smith on board the Tyger this day at three. Sir Sidney Smith takes the liberty to send some clothes, which he supposes a person escaped from prison may require. These, however, are not of the best; but excepting English uniforms, they are the only ones he has on board the Tyger, and they are the same which Sir Sidney wore from the Temple till his reaching the sea—They will have done good service if they answer the same purpose a second time in, again restoring a son to his aged father dying of grief.
Letters from Nantz, dated October 3, says "Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, Gen. Clarke, with his suite, arrived here. He alighted at the Temple of Peace, where it is supposed, he will hold his residence during the Congress. This morning the General of the 4th military division, with the whole of the Staff, visited him, to confer relative to the preliminary operations of the Congress—Every preparation is making for the completion and decoration of the places destined for the residence of the Plenipotentiaries; the roads are covered with articles of consumption, which are forwarding to Luneville."
General Clarke, the bearer of the orders of Government, and who is to command extraordinary at Luneville, and in the department of the Meurthe, is arrived there. After having conferred with the Sub Prefect, and the Mayor, he visited in person all the houses of the best appearance; he spared no pains to procure for the Members of the Congress lodgings and accommodation suitable to their dignity. Accounts from Marseilles state, that the garrison of Malta arrived there on the 30th of September, to the number of 6000 men. They are there undergoing quarantine. Gen. Vaubois has informed us, that the unfortunate Duloieu is freed from his fetters, and that he is in a chamber where he can walk, read and write. General Graham interested himself much in his favour, and to that General we are indebted for the preservation, at Malta, of the Cabinet of Natural History belonging to that illustrious person. It is now packing up in order to be sent off for Paris. We are informed from Cadiz, that an English fleet, consisting of about 180 transports, escorted by 16 ships of the line, appeared before that city, and made the necessary preparation for effecting a disembarkation. We can hardly allow ourselves, however, to believe, that the English will attempt a coup-de-main against a place, the situation of which is painted in the following words in a letter from Barcelona:
"As the malady becomes more alarming at Cadiz, it has been thought proper to fumigate all the letters which arrive from thence. We are informed by the last courier, that during the four last days 732 persons died, and of 110,000 inhabitants, who were in that beautiful but unfortunate city, 85,000 have quitted it. The immense population of the suburbs consist only of unhappy wretches, whose dirtiness and poverty add still to the horror of the disease, and must increase its ravages. There was at Cadiz only one Spanish regiment which was much reduced by sickness; the sole defence therefore of this city against the English, is the contagion, which doubtless, they will not venture to brave."
PARIS, Oct. 11. Gen. Berthier has again been appointed Minister at War; Carnot it is said, will be the colleague of Joseph Buonaparte, in carrying on the negotiations at Luneville. The news from the armies are now entirely uninteresting. They are returning to their cantonments. Moreau is going to Paris. There is now less probability than ever that their services will be required. It is certain that M. Lifakewitz, late Secretary of Legation, and now Charge d'Affaires from Russia, has received orders from his court to quit England, and to proceed to Copenhagen, where he is appointed ambassador. The Emperor his master, has signified to him his satisfaction with his conduct in the situation he held here, particularly since the retirement of Count Woronzow. His Imperial Majesty likewise presented him, we are informed, with 4000l to enable him to appear at the Court of Denmark with suitable splendour and dignity. On his departure, the Emperor of Russia will have no official agent in this country, as we have none at Petersburg. All this routing is to be considered as previous to the surrender of Malta. What will be the consequence when that event is known to his Imperial Majesty.
FRANCKFORT, Oct. 5.
The Landgrave of Hesse Cassel has adopted a sudden and unexpected measure, by putting all his troops on the war establishment. A certain number of men have been detached from the garrison of Hanau, in order to procure tents and other requisites at Cassel. The Landgrave besides has taken into pay 8000 of the militia, who will serve on the same footing as the troops of the line. The motive of this measure cannot be conceived at a period when the armistice has been prolonged, and when the most apparent intimacy of the three belligerent powers affords the best founded hopes of the approach of peace. There is reason to suppose that this military disposition is merely eventual in order that the Landgrave may be prepared, in case the negotiations should not be attended with a favourable issue. The regency of Carlsruhe has been officially informed by the French commandant at Gomerheim, that the navigation of the Rhine is fully and freely re-established. The head quarters of the Austrian army are now at Welz Lints; the troops of the Empire occupy the Corron, the Bavarians are at Mahlberg, and the corps of Wurtemberg at Wasserbourg. The speedy arrival of the French head quarters has been notified to the inhabitants of Stuttgart, Moreau, Desfosses, Eble, the French commandant of artillery, Mathieu, Faviers, Percy and others, will remain there during the armistice. Moreau was, on the 1st, at Augsbourg, with his corps of Guides. General Ney is to occupy the fortress of Ingolstadt, which is now surrounded by his troops. General Angereau has granted a neutrality to the Princes and Counts of Nassau.
The King of Prussia has interceded in their favor. The state of their territory is distressful; they have withdrawn their contingents from the army of the Empire, and they are now in treaty for a separate peace.
STRASBURGH, October 4. Letters from Augsbourg, of the 27th, say, that the two armies are entering into their respective quarters. The want of forage has compelled a great part of the French cavalry to retreat towards the Neckar. The advices from Hungary and Galicia, say, that the Russian troops, which have been for some time assembled on the confines of the latter country, have received orders to return into the interior of Russia. The Austrian garrisons of Ulm and Philipsburg are now passing through Suabia, in order to join the Imperial army. Both have suffered severely through disease. The Imperial army is retreating from Bavaria to the cantonments in Austria and in the Environs of Salzburg. The Arch-Duke Charles is seriously indisposed, and it is said that his life is in danger.
From the Paris Papers.
LISBON, September 23.
The following is a new incident which will have a place in the history of the disputes that divide the Courts of Spain and Portugal; a great convoy has just arrived from Brazil. At the time it sailed from Europe, the political dispositions of the two nations towards each other were entirely unknown in Europe, or rather it was believed that there was the best understanding between them; five Spanish vessels that were at La Plata, the commanders of which thought they could do no better than take the advantage of the convoy, and joining the Portuguese vessels, with them arrived at Lisbon. It is said that they are loaded with about twelve millions of piasters. But while they were on their passage, the state of affairs between the two powers considerably changed, and it is probable that this event will have a considerable influence on the reciprocal conduct of the two nations; one of which must be unwilling to sacrifice its millions, and the other to restore them without pacific assurances for the future.

He was after to the marines on board said ship, about 22 years of age, 5 feet, 7 or 8 inches high, a little pock marked, full faced and free, open countenance, stout made, his hair tied in a short queue—Had on when he went away, an olive colored jacket, and pantaloon, the colour of which is not recollected. Having been accustomed to the sea, it is probable he has entered, and sailed, on board some merchant ship. Ten Dollars will be given, for certain information, what vessel he has sailed on board of, or the above reward and reasonable expenses, for securing him, in any part of the United States, and giving immediate information thereof, to RICHARD CURSAN, Esquire, of Baltimore, JAMES SETON, Esquire, of New-York, or the subscribers in Philadelphia.

NEW-YORK, December 8.
Captain Van Antwerp has put in our hands a Halifax paper of the 27th ultimo, which contains the foreign news published in this day's gazette—it is to the 19th, and was received there by the ship Echo, captain Kendal, in 37 days from Portsmouth. The most interesting events, says the Editor, are, a
Confirmation of Ulm, Philipsburgh, and Ingolstadt, being delivered up to the French—and the consequent extension of the armistice for 40 days—the preparations for a congress, which was immediately to assemble at Luneville, to adjust a plan of general pacification. The change of ministry at Vienna, by the appointment of Count Lehrbach, to succeed Baron Thugut, and the appointment on the part of the Emperor of Count Cobenzel to be the Austrian negotiator at the Congress at Luneville. The papers also contain, the rescript of the Emperor, calling on his Hungarian subjects to be prepared to rise en masse, should not peace result from the negotiation. The French garrison of Malta, consisting of 6000 men, had arrived at Marseilles. All the British forces which could be spared after leaving the necessary garrison in Malta, had sailed under Sir A. Abercromby for Egypt. The Russian troops had once more disappeared, and were on their return to Russia. Formidable preparations were making in Spain, for the attack of Portugal. A large French army was again assembling on the coast, to excite, if possible, an alarm in England; but the vigilance of our fleets and army was such as to remove all apprehension from their parading garrisonade. In the naval line, nothing material had taken place, except the capture of two Spanish frigates, and two corvettes—the high price of provision, had made an early meeting of Parliament necessary, and his majesty's proclamation had been issued for their assembling on the 11th of November.
From all these events our readers will be furnished with new subjects for conjecture, but whether peace or a continuance of the war will be the result, seem at present to defy all human penetration.
On Tuesday morning last, a French gentleman, who had been in town but a few days, cut his throat in a most shocking manner, at his lodgings, in Front street. This unfortunate man is said to have been one of those who had left France in consequence of the revolution, and was reduced from affluence, to indigence and misery. He had for some time after his distress in his own country, resided in Dublin as a clerk, where he was much esteemed. From the time of his arrival here, a settled melancholy was observed, and it is supposed the thoughts of the situation to which he was reduced, might have induced him to commit this dreadful act.
NEW-BEDFORD Nov. 25.
Yesterday morning brig Polly, Cottle, of this port, was run on shore, on Gooseberry Neck (Dartmouth).—The Polly sailed from this port, on the 12th inst. for Philadelphia, and having been prevented by head winds from reaching that port, and met with great damages in the late severe gales was under the necessity of putting back on the 25th—she was loaded with lumber, which will probably be saved—but vessel lost.
NORWICH, December 3.
It must be satisfactory to every feeling mind to learn, that the French prisoners in this city are treated in the most humane and benevolent manner. In this inclement season, instead of being chilled by the frigid blast of winter, emaciated by a scanty supply of subsistence, they are very plentifully provided with both food and raimentment; and what greatly redounds to the honor of those who have the superintendence of these unfortunate men, they have the full liberty of the town. What a contrast is exhibited! Look at our ragged, hickly, starving seamen in the dungeons of Guadalupe!
Another circumstance reflects great honor on the Masonic Fraternity.—One of the prisoners having been recognized as a brother, was immediately supplied with every convenience and placed out to board in a private family in this city.

Philadelphia, Dec. 9th, 1800.
MR. WAYNE,
Sir,
In your paper of last evening is an extract from the Boston Mercury, signed W. Athearn, stating that the brig Polly, T. Randall, commander, was bought at Porto Rico, by a Frenchman called Cartang—Is French property but covered as American by Capt. T. Randall.
It is impossible for me to say what motive W. Athearn had in fabricating and communicating so gross a falsehood, and it is equally impossible to calculate the injury it may be to the owners of said brig Polly, and also to Capt. Randall, consequently I have already taken measures to have W. Athearn arrested as soon as he may be found in this country.
Having said this much, it may be necessary to inform you, that the brig Polly, T. Randall, master, belongs jointly to John Casanave, of New-York, and myself—that the entire of said brig was originally purchased with my money, part of the proceeds of the cargo of my brig Ruby, and for my own account, by Francis Mechtler, supercargo of said brig Ruby—who afterwards sold to Capt. T. Randall for account of J. Casanave, the one half said brig Polly—conceiving it to my interest, to interest Mr. Casanave in order to prevail upon his friend Capt. Randall to take command of and fit her out.
I trust, Sir, that you and all other Printers who have given publicity to W. Athearn's communication, as extracted from the Boston Mercury, will not hesitate to make this letter as public.
I am, Sir, Yours, &c.
CHAND. PRICE.
COMMUNICATION.
Looking over the Aurora of Thursday morning, I discovered an address to "Friends and fellow citizens" signed by one Joseph Bloomfield; and counter-signed by "John Morgan" this appears to be one of those precious elixirs prepared for the gust of pure Jacobin; and is much in the style of the Slab Town proceedings—but as it is signed by Bloomfield and Morgan; we are at a loss to say who they are;—unless being ashamed of their names—Bloomfield and Sayre have changed them; it is certain they no longer use the phrase—Republicans.
A Gentleman from Dover, informs, that the Electors of the State of Delaware have given
John Adams 3 votes—and Charles C. Pinckney 3—
The Electors of New York have unanimously voted for Jefferson and Burr.
The Electors of Connecticut have voted unanimously for Adams and Pinckney.
It is worthy of remark, that every address to the people of this State, and every defence made of M c Kean's conduct, since his elevation to the Executive chair, has been signed, and written, by the creatures immediately dependant on his honor's pleasure.
The frigate Boston's prize, Le Berceau, is libelled in the District Court of Massachusetts.
Captain Goodrich, arrived at New York, informs, that he passed the ship China on Thursday last: she was then at anchor, but when the thick weather came on, she put off again—It is expected, however, that she will go to New-York the first favorable wind. He also informs that a few days since, he saw 8 square rigged vessels on the coast, beating in.
A Minister once observed in a circle of Courtiers that nothing could be more ridiculous, than the manner in which the Council of State assemble in some of the Negro nations. "In the Council chamber, said he, are placed twelve large Jars, half full of water. Twelve counsellors of State enter naked, and stalking along with great gravity, each leaps into his jar, and immerses himself up to his chin, and in this pretty attitude they deliberate on the national affairs. You do not smile, continued the minister to a noble lord who sat next him. "Smile! No," answered his lordship, "I see something more ridiculous than that every day"—"Pray what is it?" returned the minister—"A country," replied the nobleman, "where the council is filled with nothing but jars."

The "Address" to the federal republicans of New-Jersey, made by the committee appointed to recommend suitable candidates to represent that state in the ensuing Congress, deserves the attentive perusal of all, who feel an interest in the tranquility of their country and the stability of their government. This attention is due not only from the people of New-Jersey, but from those of every state in the Union, as well on account of the personal respectability of the members of the committee, as on account of the correct and judicious sentiments contained in the address itself. They are the sentiments of wise men, addressed to those who have judgment to discern, what the people ought to do, and honesty to perform their duty.
The address commences with ances with an able though summary statement of the progress and present state of the Jacobin faction of disorganizers in this country, and proceeds to ferret them out from their "refuges of lies" and to expose them, in their native deformity, by demonstrating that their leaders have, from the beginning, been in pursuit of power and plunder as their ultimate, and exclusive objects.
It then goes on, in a peripicuous manner, to exhibit some of the most prominent advantages which have resulted from the operation of the Federal Government, and satisfactorily shows that it has been eminently efficacious in producing all the national benefits which could be expected from the most free, and equitable Government.
The address concludes by earnestly calling upon all those of the people of New-Jersey, who are Republicans indeed, to show themselves men, and to manifest their attachment to the constitutional liberty of their country, by appointing such men to represent them in the ensuing Congress as, from their acknowledged talents, and integrity, may be relied on to pursue that system of measures, which has hitherto succeeded in keeping under that daring and bloody-minded faction which has attempted, with a murderous grasp, to strangle our infant constitution in its cradle, and to unletter a lawless, merciless mob of ruffians to riot on the spoils of our honestly acquired possessions.
The style of the address is terse and classical, well calculated to make a favourable impression upon the plain good sense of honest men. To speak its highest praise, it is, in all things, totally unlike the leafless ravings of those swaggering, threatening, cowardly gangs of foreign printers, auctioneers, and others, who infest this city, denouncing our Senate, deciding upon the talents of our most distinguished lawyers and "speaking evil of those things which they understand not."
It will not be thought inapposite, on this occasion, to call the attention of our countrymen to the manly and vigorous support, which the PEOPLE of New-Jersey have this year given to our free and prosperous government, in opposition to that lately bullying, but now despairing herd who were hugging themselves in the hope that the next year would commence with the subversion of all law civil and divine, and the introduction of that cruellest of all despotisms, the despotism of an unprincipled mob.
Published in yesterday's gazette.
The Editor of the Aurora this morning, exultingly boasts that the election of Mr. Galliard, as speaker of the house of Representatives of South-Carolina is proof positive that there is an Anti-Federal majority. We are willing to admit Mr. Galliard was elected but this is no proof of the house being Anti-Federal. Mr. Galliard is esteemed by all his compatriots, and was voted for by both parties. In fact he is not a Democrat. We again repeat, and the public may rely on it, that the LEGISLATURE IS FEDERAL. We could give high authority for our assertion, but at present we think it superfluous.

PRINTING.—In the National Library at Paris, some parts of the Bible have been found translated into German, and printed at Bamberg by Albert Pfister, in 1462. The characters are moveable, like those now made use of; their form is a large Gothic, such as was then used to write missals; the date & place of the printing, as well as the name of the printer, are at the end of the book, printed in the same characters as the rest of the work; the German expression joined to those dates, leaves no doubt,
that it is not to the composition of the book, but to the printing, that the date 1462 is to be applied.
The discovery of this book is important in the history of printing on the following account:—The first book (passing over one or two small works) printed in moveable characters, with a certain date of the year, is the Pfister of 1457, reprinted in 1459. From that epoch to the year 1462, in which the Bible printed at Mentz by John Fust and P. Schoeffer appeared, we know of no work bearing the date of the printing. Yet the Bible of 1462 is certainly not the first printed, ancient authors assert, that from the year 1459 the edition of a Bible in missal characters were begun; characters which are not those employed in the Mentz edition. Besides, there are doubts respecting the places in which printing was first exercised. Mentz, Haarlem, and Strasburgh have their partizans. Those of Mentz are very exclusive; they pretend, that all the year 1462, printing was confined to that city; that it was not till the troubles which followed the capture of it in 1462, that the workmen of Fust and Schoeffer were dispersed and carried their art to different places. But the fact, that printing was not carried from Mentz till after the capture of it by Adolphus de Nauffau, on the 27th of October 1462, is now contradicted, by the edition of a book printed at Bamberg, a town far off from Mentz, shortly after the 11th of May, 1462.
From a Correspondent:
By captain Welfein, of the brig George, which arrived on Sunday from Havana, information was obtained, that, on Tuesday last he took a young woman and her infant, about eight months old, from off a wreck of a vessel bound from Kingston to Norfolk. This unfortunate woman had lost her husband about six days before. The circumstance is extremely melancholy, viewing a widow and her helpless infant, thrown on our shore, friendless perhaps, and unprotected. She saved nothing, but herself and babe. The writer of this knows not the person; but whoever she is, he participates from sympathy in her distress. He is induced to mention the above information, from an assurance, that there are breasts in Charleston so fully occupied with the divine attribute, Charity—that some inquiry will be made concerning her. She was on her passage to Norfolk, with her husband, to settle there; flattered with hopes, nearly reduced to certainty, of planting herself and partner on a spot where they might enjoy many happy days, and rear their tender offspring; but, gracious god! in a few days, what a scene! Her husband lost, and she every inch, expecting to be swallowed up by surging waves, which were overwhelming her. Almighty Providence made capt. W. the instrument of his mercy extendant towards her; she is saved, but to what? Let it not be said, you, whose caps overflow with easy blessings; let it not be said that you want the will of comforting this distressed female, so far as her miseries may enable her to receive comfort. Seek the unhappy wanderer; out of your abundance spare a little; it may be abundance to her; protect the mother; cherish the orphan. Pity her affliction; let the furthest ends of the earth know that you, virtuous inhabitants of South-Carolina, hold every person in distress your sister or your brother; let them see.
"That to the houseless child of want, Your doors are open still; And tho' thy portion is but scant, You give it with good will."

WEDNESDAY, December 3.
Mr. Gregg moved that the petition of Oliver Pollock, presented the other day, and a report heretofore made by the committee of claims, together with the documents accompanying the same, might be referred to a committee of the whole house.
Mr. Mason opposed this reference, and superceded the motion by one to refer it to the committee of claims, which was carried.
Adjourned.
THURSDAY, December 4.
A letter was received from the commissioners of this city, enclosing a colored plan of the city.
Mr. Mason, from the committee of claims made a report on the petition of Darby McNamara, "that being barred by the statute, it ought not to be granted."
The like report was made respecting the petition of Michael Muhlenberg.
The house concurred in the reports. A memorial was presented to the house in behalf of Samuel H. Smith and Thomas Carpenter, who filed the inconveniencies refusing to them in the prosecution of their engagements, to report the debates and proceedings of Congress, without the house should grant them permission to stand within the bar of the house.
The memorial was referred to a committee of five members, to consider and report thereon.
Mr. Speaker signified the desire of Mr. Lisle, chaplain of the house, to open the chamber of the representatives for public worship on Sundays—leave was thereupon granted. The galleries are appropriated for the audience, and the floor for the members of the two houses and their friends.
Adjourned.
Friday, December 5.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill for erecting a Mausoleum to George Washington.
The first section being read, which determines the form and dimensions of the Mausoleum,
Mr. Allison moved an amendment, substituting a Monument, in the place of a Mausoleum, to be erected in the Capitol.
A spirited debate ensued; in which the amendment was supported by Messrs. Allison, Nicholas, Nott, and Macon; and opposed by Messrs. H. Lee, Otis, and Gist.
The committee rose without coming to any decision, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again.
DIED, on Saturday morning, Mr. JAMES HENDERSON, of the Firm of Knox & Henderson, merchants of this city. Seldom is society bereaved of a member more truly estimable than was Mr. Henderson. A peculiar inoffensiveness of character, equanimity of mind and affable manners, gained him the esteem of all who knew him; and a strict integrity & industrious attention in his mercantile pursuits, ranked him among the first of that useful class of citizens. His virtues were of the retired kind. In private life, in the bosom of his family and friends, they shone most fair; and the sweet remembrance of them will often claim a tributary tear to his memory.

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, No. folk, 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 preferred for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eye, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of tears, dulness, itching, and films in the eye, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt 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.
