Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops. The Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, and the various disorders of the same nature, are so exquisitely painful, and so difficult to be cured, that they have justly excited the undivided attention of the medical profession. Some professional gentlemen have excelled in one department of the sciences; others in another. Dr. Tissot particularly has long been renowned for the superiority of his prescriptions in chronic diseases, and the length of time which elapsed during his sole attention to the nature and effects and cure of these affections, render the medicines which he recommended of invaluable importance. The beneficial effects of these drops, have been so often experienced, and their extraordinary efficacy has been attested by witnesses so numerous and so unimpeachable, that incredulity itself cannot doubt the virtues of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops. Large quantities have been sold, and the sale is now become general, and their certainty in curing the disorders of a chronic nature is so completely ascertained, that certificates of their unbounded utility are now unnecessary. Testimonials of their value, and a volume of attested cases performed by them, may be seen upon application at T. W. D. out's genuine Drug and Patent Medicine Warehouse, No. 57, South Second-street, Philadelphia. The price of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, is only two dollars per bottle, with copious directions. Generous allowances made to those who buy to sell again. Of the many respectable testimonies of the effects of the above Drops, which have been received by the proprietor, we beg leave to annex the following: Certificate of General Ridgely of Hampton. I certify that having received a blow on my knee, which induced severe pain and swelling, I was advised to apply to Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, and on bathing the part with them only a few times, agreeably to the directions, they effected a perfect cure. Another time my wrist was affected with rheumatism to such a degree, as to render my hand for the time useless, when on application of the same remedy in like manner, the disorder in the course of twenty-four hours was entirely removed. Therefore, from the experience I have had of the efficacy of said medicine, consider it a benificent act to recommend it in similar cases to others. (Signed) C. RIDGELY, of Hampton. Certificate of John Gibson, Esq. one of the Directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland. I certify that about a year since, my foot received an injury by a fall; in a few hours after it was affected with a most excruciating pain, so that I was unable to walk, with crutches. I was apprehensive that this accident would induce a severe fit of the gout, with which I had been frequently attacked. In this situation one of my friends highly recommended and earnestly advised me to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops; I immediately procured them and made the application; in less than three hours the pain entirely abated, which had been so severe, as to deprive me of sleep for several nights. By a few further applications, a perfect cure succeeded. I have frequently since in other cases, both used them myself, and recommended them to others with invariable success. (Signed) JOHN GIBSON. Certificate of Mrs. Mary Taylor. Mary Taylor, No. 135, Plumb Street, Philadelphia, aged upwards of seventy years, having been afflicted with very violent rheumatic pains for more than eight years, being recommended to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, on only using half a bottle every rheumatic affection was completely removed, and I have continued free from all pain ever since; as witness my hand. MARY TAYLOR. The above drops are sold wholesale and retail only by BONSAL, CONRAD, & Co. Norfolk. ALSO, DR. ROBERTSON'S Patent Stomachick Wine Bitters. Celebrated and well known for their superior qualities in restoring weak constitutions, destroying Worms, cleansing and strengthening, giving a proper tone to the Stomach, and increasing the appetite-a frequent use of them is a certain preventative against those complaints so common in the spring and fall. Such as intermitting fevers, agues, autumnal fevers, dysenteries, &c. &c. They are particularly serviceable to those who make long sea-voyages, and are exposed to unhealthy climates, as a powerful preservative against contagious disorders. PRO BONO PUBLICO. Patent Water-Proof Brunswick Blacking, prepared with oil, which softens, preserves, and beautifies the leather. Words cannot set forth its just praise, nor can its transcendent qualities be truly known, but by experience; it is especially calculated for, and particularly recommended to sportsmen and gentlemen who are much exposed to the wet-also for cleaning Harness, as it will effectually prevent the water from penetrating, preserve the leather from cracking, and render it supple and pleasant to the very last, giving it also a beautiful jet black gloss, a proof of which may be seen at the warehouse. The above Blacking is prepared and sold only by T. W. D. YOTT, at his Medical Warehouse, No. 11, North Second-street, Philadelphia; sold also by his appointment, at BONSAL, CONRAD, & Co's Book-Store, Norfolk; and at SOMERVELL & CONRAD'S, Petersburg.

His Stock at present is as good as this country can furnish, and he intends to use no other kind, the price of course must be higher, and when the Boots go the money must come, having found in a number of instances that a few days means six or twelve months, and an application even then for the money is ample cause of enmity. He has on hand a large assortment of BOOTS and SHOES. Also, SALT, LONDON PORTER, &c. &c. Fresh SHOES from New-York for Ladies, of red, green, and black Morocco, with 1, 2, and 3 ties.

For SALE. Little England Plantation, near Hampton, containing 555 acres of excellent land, about 300 of which are cleared, the remainder under wood, with a Dwelling-House, Offices, &c. This Plantation has many advantages over most others in the low country. There is a wharf within fifty yards of the house, with sufficient water for any vessel to lie at that can come into Hampton Creek, and the advantage to a farmer of having every thing conveyed to and from so considerable a market as Norfolk by water, is a circumstance of the first consideration. There is an excellent Pump in the farm-yard, with a well sufficient to water any fleet that may generally be in Hampton Roads; from this pump there are water-ways to the wharf, by which a boat can load from 10 to 12 tons of water in two hours-it yielded this late proprietor at one time 700 d. bds. in twelve months. The Plantation is most completely fenced by double ditches, stakes, and wattled, with some hedges-In short, the House, Offices, and Land, are in such perfect neat and good order, that any person purchasing the place would not have a cent to lay out on it. Those who may wish to view the premises will please apply to Dr. Ward, at Little England-For terms or other particulars, apply to William H. Thompson. N. B. The Negroes, Stock, and Farming Utensils, will be sold with or without the Plantation. October 7. 2wtf

MANIFESTO OF THE JUNTA OF SEVILLE.
The defence of our country and of our king, that of our laws, of our religion, and of all the rights of man, trodden down and violated in a manner which is without example, by the emperor of the French, Napoleon I. and by his troops in Spain, compelled the whole nation to take up arms, and to choose itself a form of government; and, in the difficulties and dangers into which the French had plunged it, all, or nearly all the provinces, as it were by the inspiration of heaven, and in a manner little short of miraculous, created Supreme Juntas, delivered themselves up to their guidance, and placed in their hands the rights and the ultimate fate of Spain.
The effects have hitherto most happily corresponded with the designs of those who formed them. The provinces have armed themselves; some have formed large armies of veteran troops, and have united to them the enlisted peasants; all, or nearly all, have fought, and are fighting against the French, in behalf of their king, Ferdinand VII., with a valour and a constancy, of which neither Greece nor Rome, nor any other nation of the world had any idea. The French are really amazed and terrified, and the hopes of co-operating them are as sure as human certainty can reach.
The only thing that can impair or frustrate them, is discord, and the want of union among the provinces themselves. Hence the Supreme Junta paid its first attention to remove that danger, with which view, it printed and published the official paper, entitled Precautions , which it communicated in every possible manner to all the provinces of Spain. The bringing this plan to perfection, and carrying it into complete execution, is now more than ever necessary. Our enemies are anxious to foment our disorders. Human passions, personal interests ill understood, the ignorance, the weakness, the blindness of men, may, perhaps, without their knowing it, assist the evil designs of our enemies, and thus destroy a beginning so glorious, and facilitate and consummate the total ruin of Spain. This it is, that we are endeavouring to guard against, urged only by the most sacred motives, by our honour, by our loyalty, as affectionate subjects, by our duty as Spaniards, by our faith as Christians; and here we protest, before God and man, whose aid we invoke with all fervency, that we will write nothing but what is dictated to us by the love of our country, the preservation of our king and of our rights, not mingling with it any thing that appears to partake of passion, of interest, or of any other personal motives; but being always ready to hear the opinions of the other provinces, and to amend our own errors wherever it shall be shown that we have committed any.
But it the chief care to avoid every thing which is not absolutely necessary, and which may serve to sow the seeds of discord in the provinces, and to excite divisions among them; and of this nature we esteem all conversation about the royal house, and of the order of succession in different families which derive a right from it. There is no person so ignorant of the history of Spain, and of the manner in which the throne has been occupied, as not to know the changes which have taken place in the succession. It is also known what are the legislative proceedings upon this point; what the manner in which they were used to introduce an alteration into them; the alterations proposed for this alteration; and, lastly, the final settlement which was made by the Cortes of 1713, and which ought in future to be the rule.
But are we in a situation to talk of these matters? Long live our king and indisputable sovereign Ferdinand VII. and long live his august brothers and heirs of the crown, after his attested decease. Why then anticipate those enquiries which only can be necessary in default of these? This anticipation may produce, by the diversity of opinions which it creates, a cruel discord, which of itself alone, will utterly ruin the only aim and object which Spain has at present in view, and that is, its own entire and independent preservation for its sovereign lord and king Ferdinand VII. and his undisputed successors; and, with its king, the preservation of its own rights and laws, and the unity of the holy Roman Catholic apostolic religion, which it has gloriously professed and defended for so many ages. It is, therefore, absurd and dangerous to dispute about the succession in cases evidently remote; all the provinces of Spain ought to confine themselves in this respect to this general expression— Hereditary succession according to the fundamental laws of the monarchy.
Not so is it with the second question, moved by the various Juntas of the kingdom, which certainly keeps the people in a state of inquietude and agitation, is the continual subject of public conversation, and may produce divisions fatal to the generous design, and the virtuous obligation into which we have entered of defending ourselves against our enemies, and of preserving our country, our king, our monarchy, our laws, and our religion. This second question is— Is there a necessity for creating a supreme government which may unite the sovereign authority of all the provinces, till the restoration of king Ferdinand to his throne?
This Supreme Junta declares openly, that from the beginning to the present time it has been persuaded that such a supreme government is altogether necessary, and that without it the country is in danger, and its enemies will find means of completing its ruin; and the reasons of this determination and declaration are so evident, and present themselves with such clearness to the eyes of all, that they can not fail of convincing all who have the least notion of public affairs, or a correct insight into the nature of man, the passions which move him, and the order of human affairs in all ages. Various Supreme Juntas and military chiefs have expressed their conviction of this truth.
A conviction of the same springs from the indispensable necessity of civil government in every nation whose duty it is to attend to the happiness of the kingdom, and to which the military may be subordinate. The confidence of the nation, and, consequently, the public funds and the capitals of individuals, must, necessarily, have a civil government for their support. Without it, the military power would, indispensably, be under the necessity of employing violence, with the view of acquiring that confidence which it never could attain, and getting a command of those capitals, which it would be equally impossible for it to bring within its grasp—and thus it would, ultimately, destroy that public prosperity and happiness, which ought to be the sole object of every government. Let us not vainly flatter ourselves with notions of Roman dictators, and the other military chiefs of the ancient repub-
lies: they were placed under very prudent restraints, and the duration of their authority was limited to a very short period. The dangers of complete despotism and usurpation kept them in continual alarm, compelled them to take very rigorous precautions, which are very incompatible with the habits of modern times. Spain has derived a lesson of wisdom from the history of past ages: she has never thought of appointing a military dictator. Her military chiefs (and it is a fact most honorable to the Spanish name) have been the first to embrace, with the utmost cordiality, a system of things as ancient in Spain as the monarchy itself. The experience of our times—the confidence of the people in the Supreme Juntas—the facility and abundance with which pecuniary resources have been placed at their disposal—the heroic loyalty with which the military chiefs and the army have acknowledged and obeyed them, and the happy issue hitherto of their civil administration, and the military enterprises which they have directed, have placed in the most conspicuous light, and established beyond all doubt, this fundamental truth and most essential political principle.
But who is to create this supreme civil government? Who is to compose it? Where shall be its place of residence? What the extent of its authority? How shall it be established without interrupting the public tranquility, and producing discord among the different provinces? How is the public opinion to be so regulated as that, without opposing it, this tranquility shall be attained, and all risk of disturbance obviated? These are the important and serious questions which we shall now proceed to examine; and upon which, influenced solely by the love of our country, and our anxiety to promote its welfare, we will enter into a frank explanation of our sentiments.
In the various papers that have been published upon this subject, we are told that the Cortes should assemble; that they should elect representatives; and farther, that the old council of Castile should convoke them, and the whole of the proceeding should be executed under its authority.
Most assuredly we do not understand the grounds upon which this decision rests. The council of Castile, though a lawful assembly, never convoked the Cortes. Why, then, should we give it an authority which it does not possess? Is it because it lent the whole weight of its influence to such important changes, with regard to which it had no powers, nor any authority whatsoever? Is it because it has acted in opposition to those fundamental laws, which it was established to preserve and defend? Is it because it afforded every facility to the enemy to usurp the sovereignty of Spain, to destroy the hereditary succession of the crown and the dynasty legally in possession, and recognized and seated on the throne a foreigner, destitute even of the shadow of a title to it; for this incontrovertibly manifest, that the renunciation of Charles IV. in his favor gave him no such claim? What confidence could the Spanish nation place in a government created by an authority invalid and illegal, and which had also rendered itself suspected, by the previous commission of acts of so horrible a description, that they may be justly ranked with the most atrocious crimes against the country?
The council of Castile being thus excluded from all consideration—who should convoke the Cortes? The authority to convoke them is a part of the peculiar and exclusive prerogative of the king. The provinces would not submit to any other authority; they would not unite; there would be no Cortes;—and should a few delegates assemble, that very circumstance would expose the kingdom to division—the evil which all wish to avoid.
Besides, the cities who have votes in the Cortes have not undertaken the defence of the kingdom, nor of themselves, nor in their corporate capacity, have they made any effort to defend it. We entertain the most profound respect both for them and their rights—but truth compels us to speak out.
Most undoubtably, however, the cities who have votes in the Cortes, in thus conducting themselves, acted with consummate prudence, and with a due observance of law. The kingdom found itself suddenly without a king, and without a government—a situation indeed unknown in our history and to our laws. The people legally resumed the power of appointing a government; and this truth has been openly avowed by various Supreme Juntas. The people created these Juntas without paying any regard to the cities who have votes in the Cortes. The legitimate power is therefore deposited with the Supreme Juntas, and, in virtue of that power, they have governed and do govern with real authority, and have been and are still acknowledged and obeyed by all ranks of subjects, and by all cities in their respective districts, having votes in the Cortes. Their situation has not changed; the danger still exists; no new authority has supervened; the lawful authority therefore resides entire in the Juntas which the people created, and to which they confided it.
It is, therefore, incontestible that the Supreme Juntas have the sole and exclusive right of electing those who are to compose the supreme government, as the only means of protecting and preserving the kingdom, whose defence the people have entrusted to them, and which cannot be accomplished but by the establishment of a supreme government. Nothing is more evident than this truth.
And whom shall the Supreme Junta elect?—Most certainly individuals of their own body, for they alone derive their power from the people, and it is in their constituent members that the people have reposed their entire confidence. Should any other persons be chosen, they would possess neither the confidence nor the consent of the people, and all their acts would be null and void; and from this want of confidence, the nation would be exposed to the intestine divisions, the last and greatest of all our calamities.
Hence, if there be any province in which the military power has alone been retained, results the absolute necessity of constituting Supreme Juntas, in which the power of the people shall reside, and by which they may act. Whether they shall be constituted by the gentry Cortes, or any other bodies, their appointment in some form or other, is indispensable, in order to the concentration of the legitimate power of the people, and the establishment of a civil government, which shall insure confidence into the people, and proceed to the choice of persons who shall compose the supreme government, which, under the present circumstances, cannot be legitimate, unless it has its origin in the free consent of the people.
It seems then to be indispensably necessary,
that all the Supreme Juntas, meeting on the same day, should each elect, from among their own members, two deputies to form the supreme government, and the persons so elected should from that moment, be reputed, and actually be the governors-general of the kingdom; and that as such they should be universally acknowledged and respected.
Their authority is well known, and cannot be subject to any doubt. The Supreme Junta of Valencia has most judiciously marked its extent and limits, in the paper which they published on this occasion, on the 15th of July. We shall, therefore, be excused from going more at large into the consideration of it.
We will only add, that the Supreme Junta ought to be continued with all the appointments and insignia, and be invested with the internal government of their respective provinces, until the conclusion of the present state of things, but at the same time under due subordination to the supreme government. In those Supreme Juntas resides the legitimate power of those portions of the people who have respectively created them. It is their duty to take measures for insuring the happiness of their constituents, through the medium of a just government, and vigilantly to protect and defend the rights of every individual among them. For this purpose they ought to give their instructions to their respective deputies constituting the supreme government; and it will be the duty of the latter to observe them, and to represent and support the claims of their provinces, as far as may be consistent with the general prosperity.
If there existed among us a royal personage, capable of presiding in this supreme government, reason and justice prescribe that he, and no other, should be appointed to that office. But if there be no such royal personage, the supreme government must elect a president from its own body. To obviate every danger, however, the presidency should be temporary, and continue only for a fortnight, a month, or any other term, agreeable to the supreme government, upon the lapse of which period it should be incumbent on them to choose a different person.
We have already remarked, and it is unnecessary to repeat it, that the Supreme Juntas should elect, as deputies to the supreme government, such of their members as are most distinguished for their talents, their general knowledge of legislation, and all the branches of public welfare and government, recollecting that they are to be the depositaries of the hopes of the kingdom. This Supreme Junta, in full reliance upon the generous character of Spaniards, and their ardent attachment to the good of their country, assures itself that intrigue, party, or personal interest, or predilections will have no influence upon this occasion.
The Supreme Juntas will, in the first instance, appoint the place which shall be the seat of the supreme government, who shall afterwards adhere to or alter that appointment, as they think fit, according to a plurality of votes. The seat of government, as has been most wisely observed by the Supreme Junta of Valencia, ought to be at a distance from all the dangers of war, and should as a claim to preference, possess other advantages of a local nature. Seville conceives herself to possess all these advantages, but has no anxiety to be selected; for she will most cordially sacrifice all her claims to what the other Supreme Juntas shall decide to be for the general prosperity of the kingdom. The Supreme Juntas will, therefore, make known their pleasure as to this point, when they notify the election of their deputies. In the mean time we will frankly state, that La Mancha appears to us most convenient for the seat of government, and there we would particularly name its large cities of Ciudad Real or Almagro. But on this subject we are no wise anxious; we leave it entirely to the free choice of the Supreme Juntas.
It remains only that we speak of this Supreme Junta of Seville, upon which point we shall not say much. Certain persons, either ignorant or malevolent have endeavored to spread the persuasion that we affected a superiority over the other provinces. Any such thought has been far from us, although the general good of the nation has been our guide, and, as it were, the soul of all our determinations. We possessed the only foundary for cannon in the kingdom, and arms and ammunition in a certain degree of abundance. Various captains-general acknowledge as from the commencement, and veteran troops were more numerous in our province than in other parts; and thus we formed an army in a shorter time, and have harassed the enemy, who have surrendered prisoners of war, with their general Dupont, and have capitulated for the divisions of generals Bodel and Gobert, who are to be conducted to France, amounting altogether to 17,000 men, so that there does not remain a single French soldier in arms in the Andalusias; a victory most glorious and singular, which has been elected without the effusion of much Spanish blood, in which it appears we stand alone.
The local situation of the Andalusias presents also a more probable mode of defence against the arms of Napoleon, if he means to attack us; and, with this view, we have united with us the Portuguese provinces of Argava and Alentejo, who have placed themselves under our protection; and the Canary Isles have sent us a deputy for the same purpose.
The greater opulence and other peculiar circumstances of these provinces offer resources which the rest want; and we have thus been enabled to make provision for immense expense, without having received any money from any other part, or imposed any contributions.
The marine arsenal of the Isle of Leon, perhaps the most considerable of all, obeyed us from the beginning, and with it the Spanish squadron off Cadiz, whose force is the greatest, and has since been augmented by that of the French moored in that harbor, and surrendered to us at discretion.
Gibraltar, the famous English fortress, is in our territory, and one of the most numerous squadrons of that nation kept our coast in a state of blockade. We immediately, therefore, opened a communication with Gibraltar, and with the English squadron, which has given us all the assistance that was in its power, sent us a resident minister at the very first, and conveyed our deputies to London, to request subsidies, and settle a peace advantageous to the whole nation.
Amidst so many serious cares, we have transmitted all the arms which it was possible to transmit to Grenada. Estremadura has received a still greater number, and has experienced our protection, and so has Cordova, and Juen. We have offered arms to La Mancha, to Murcia, to Tarragon, to Gerona, who requested them of us, and we exerted
ourselves to the utmost to fulfil the promises which we had made.
We have not forgotten the rest of the Spanish provinces and kingdoms, and we hope in time that the effects of our zeal and vigilance will be made clear and public.
The Americans claimed at first a great share of our attention, in order to preserve that so important a part of the Spanish Monarchy. We have sent envoys and commissioners thither and to Asia, in order that they may unite themselves to us, which we could do without qualifying ourselves as the Supreme Junta for the government of Spain and the Indies, and we trust that this title and our cares will not be found useless. So many labors, surrounded by so many dangers, will, we trust, deserve some consideration of our country, for the love and defence of which only we have done and suffered so much.
With all this, we repeat, that we neither affect nor desire any superiority. Whatever we have done, we owed to our country: it was an indispensable obligation upon us. Our only object is, that Spain may preserve its integrity and independence, for our lord and king, Ferdinand VII. and for that object we joyfully sacrifice our lives. May God, who has so clearly and marvellously shown his protection of Spain, grant a safe return to its king Ferdinand VII. and then, with the supreme government, he will determine what may be his royal will, either commanding an union of the Cortes, or by such other means as his prudence may suggest, and will facilitate the reform of abuses, and the general happiness of the kingdom, securing it upon such foundations as are firm, and subject to no change.
If these hopes are vain, in which the clemency of God leads us to indulge; then the existing supreme government will itself determine what is most conclusive to the interest of the kingdom, conforming itself to the fundamental laws thereof, defending it against the fury and malice of our enemies, and preserving this monarchy in which itself, the liberty of nations, and the Catholic Church, the beloved Spouse of our Lord Jesus Christ, is so deeply interested.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
MONDAY EVENING, OCT. 31, 1808.
In some of the Monroe Tickets which have been distributed, an error has been committed. The name of "Linah Mims" of Greenbrier, last but one on the list, is printed "Linah Mins." It is expected and requested that these tickets be carefully examined, and corrected, which can easily be done, by erasing the word "Mins" and writing "Mims." The ticket affords sufficient room for it. Particular attention is requested to this matter.
THE SUPPORTERS OF THE MONROE TICKET, ARE INFORMED, THAT IT HAVING BEEN ASCERTAINED, SATISFACTORILY, THAT PRINTED TICKETS ARE LEGAL, THE ANTI-CAUCUS, CONSTITUTIONAL, AND FREE TRADE TICKETS ARE READY FOR DISTRIBUTION.

French war declared.—This proves to be one of those unfounded rumors, which are daily coined, for various purposes. We never believed that France had declared war against the United States, but we did, and still do believe that in every thing but the forms of war, that France is at war with the United States. In all the ports of her satellite nations, from the Baltic to the Adriatic, American ships and cargoes are seized and sold; if they are found upon the ocean they are destroyed, or taken into port and there condemned, and in every instance their crews are imprisoned. Now if this be not war, we know not what war is; perhaps in a speech which may be delivered this day week, it may receive a more appropriate name. We further believe that this iniquitous conduct, has been defended with an insolence as degrading to this nation as the conduct itself is unjust. If there were an independent majority in Congress, the citizens of this country would perhaps, know the extent of insult and injury which France has offered to the United States. It would in such case, be known in what manner the rights and liberties of the citizens of the United States, have been maintained by their minister in France. We pass over the rapacious seizure of property, and come to the imprisonment of American citizens, for months and months together in French jails; not American citizens made at a custom-house, for the purpose of gaining protection, but native citizens. We challenge the French partisans, and hirelings to deny these facts; they know them well, and as they are aware that they will not be long concealed, they are now trimming their sails for the breeze they perceive coming. Of late indeed the Democratic papers begin to say something about French injustice. The Emperor Napoleon has found himself a little deceived in his friends in America; he is no longer willing to accept of their half-way submission, he is no man for half-way measures, whatever another great man may be. No—to his other crimes, let us not add that of hypocrisy.
By an extra American of Tuesday, which we received by Walker's packet, it appears that the Nation's Hope is arrived, after a very short passage. Mr. Jefferson has it now in his power to communicate to Congress, the state of our foreign relations to a very recent date. What has been obtained we pretend not to say; it would appear that nothing can be done to relieve this poor country, except that it is hinted that the Emperor has ordered his Minister, to desist from the further prosecution against American ships. This information of Napoleon's condescension is too loosely stated to deserve a moment's consideration.
We have received a correspondence between the President and Mr. Monroe, which we shall give in our next if nothing more interesting is received. In one of his letters the President says "I already perceive my old friend Clinton estranging himself from me." The President will find his "old friend Clinton" not going, but gone, and good cause he had. The President professes great friendship for Mr. Monroe, and disclaims the slanders of his editors, yet they go on with their abuse, which surprises us, when we reflect upon their habitual subservience to their masters.
WAR WITH FRANCE.
Circumstances may lead us to the conclusion that France will declare, if her tyrant has not declared, war against us.
The Berlin decree, that gross infraction of our rights, and the rights of all nations, is dated November 21, 1806.
Information that the tyrant had passed the decree arrived in London at the moment when our ministers, Monroe and Pinkney, were about to transmit to our executive the project of a treaty, which the president thought fit to send back without submitting it to the senate.
To that project, and in consequence of the Berlin decree, a note was annexed by the British commissioners, conditionally ratifying the treaty; the substance of the condition was, that if our government was disinclined adequately to resist the infraction of our rights by the Berlin decree, England having an eye to her own safety against the force and artifice of the world's scourge, would consider herself at liberty to retort the outrage upon him. The note added, that the cabinet of England would wait a reasonable time for the decision of our executive before measures of retaliation were resorted to.
Accordingly, having waited in vain from the early part of Dec. of 1806, to Nov. 11, 1807, [one year] the orders in council were passed, measurably retorting upon Napoleon his own iniquity. To prevent misconception, (a thing impossible) I am duly anxious to be understood as meaning that both the decree of the despot of France and the orders of England were violations of our neutral rights, but that the latter were, in the opinion of the cabinet of England, rendered necessary for England's safety, by the Berlin decree, which somehow, although a most direct and deadly violation of our rights, Mr. Madison was not inclined to resist. The orders of council, anticipated by the sagacity of the caucus candidate, were, it is said, opposed by the embargo.
We are now prepared to glance at the recent measures of our world-President, their tendency, and probable result.
When we had suffered nearly a six month's embargo, (thereby manifesting to the world a patience, and there are unreflecting men, who would call it a patriotism, unexampled in the history of the world,) when we had suffered nearly a six month's embargo, the Osage was dispatched for "France and England" with something like (we simple ones thought) propositions of compromise to both governments—The Savage Chief went to France, thence to England, and thence back to the United States.
The King of France, with forty thousand men, March'd up a hill—and then came down again.
We were semi-officially informed, on the return of the Osage, that the cabinet of England, having taken a stand upon the orders, would not recede an inch. Our blood patriotically boiled on receiving this information! Note. Nothing was said against France.
By and by Mr. Canning stated in parliament, that as the Osage had arrived and it was understood and believed by the people, that communications from our government to that of England had been made by her, he thought it necessary to correct the error in his place, by marking, that his majesty's ministers had not received a line from the executive of the United States.
We were now semi-officially and plausibly told, that as England was the aggressive and the United States the aggrieved nation, it would have been derogating from our dignity to have made any proposition to the government of England. As a brief and abstract chronicle of the times, I am noting events without pressing an opinion upon them. I tell you that which you yourselves do know.
In the mean time, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, supposed when the embargo was laid to have been irreversibly Madisonian, were converted by Madison's precious ointment, the embargo, into federal states; and Vermont, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, were threatened. Luckily, but unexpectedly, the two latter states have, even with the embargo about their necks, kept their chins above water.
But in the midst of alarm for the safety of Madison's election, the Hope— "Hope springs eternal in the human breast." The Hope was dispatched to "France and England" with, the National Intelligence, a specific proposition to both governments; namely, and first to France; that if France would repeal her decrees in reference to the United States, the United States would abrogate the embargo with regard to France; and vice-versa as to England.
We are now ready to consider the news of the declaration of war against us, by his imperial majesty, the august emperor of the French republic. But in doing so, I must suppose, and be so understood, that in relation to the dispatches by the Hope, as represented by the National Intelligence, there is nothing like double-dealing; like deception; like a language official, and a language confidential; and I am disposed to believe, that in this instance, there is not.
Napoleon then has rejected the proposition; he will not repeal his decrees in reference to us, for a repeal of our embargo in reference to him. And now fair and clearing Hope goes to England, where, it is presumed, our proposition has been accepted; England, it is supposed Mr. Pinkney's dispatches state, consenting to repeal her orders with regard to us, on the condition, tendered by us, that we will repeal our embargo with regard to her; which brings us back exactly to the first point, namely, that we would resist the Berlin decree of France no orders of council would be in existence.
Our embargo, then, if we conjecture aright, remained as to England on the repeal of her orders to us, being considered by Napoleon, or likely to be so, as an act of hostility against him, he has declared, or will declare, war against the United States. [American Citizen.]
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 26.
There is no reason to credit the information, given under the New-York head, of France having declared war against the United States. So far as it relies for credibility on any thing official received by our government, it is entirely disproved, as no information to this effect has, we understand, been received. The rumor is supposed to have originated from the American consul at Liverpool having dispatched a boat with a letter from Mr. Pinkney for the Secretary of State received by him after the sailing of the Alknomac.
Information relative to our affairs with England has been received as late as the 12th of September, when things remained in statu quo.
Mr. Young, our consul at Madrid, has arrived in this city, from Gibraltar by the way of London. As he remained at the latter place some time, he brings no late Spanish news. [Nat. Intel.]
By an inadvertence in framing the law passed by the legislature of New-Jersey, for the choice of electors a time has been fixed not within that prescribed by a law of the United States in virtue of authority reposed by the constitution in congress. This law requires that the choice of electors shall be held during a period within thirty-four days of the 1st Wednesday in December, the day fixed for the electors to meet and give their votes for President and Vice-President. This inattention to the act of congress will render it necessary for the legislature of New-Jersey, either to postpone the time of choosing electors by the people, or to take the choice upon themselves. As the legislature is decidedly republican, no eventual injury will ensue from this oversight; and whether the choice of electors shall be made by themselves, or by the people, the result will be precisely the same. For the votes recently given prove the great preponderance of the republicans which at a general election for the choice of electors and representatives in congress, will be rendered still more manifest, from the great unanimity prevalent in two or three large republican counties which at the recent elections were contented with bringing out but a small portion of their votes, but which will, in support of a general ticket, bring out all their votes, by which the democratic majority will probably be increased two or three thousand. [Ibid.]
The legislature of the Mississippi territory have agreed to a memorial to the President and Congress, approving the measures of the government of the United States, and particularly the embargo; but requesting a suspension of the payments due to the United States during its continuance.
They have likewise passed a resolution, "That the judges of the supreme and circuit court, the justices of the peace in this territory, be requested to suspend judicial proceedings in their respective courts, in such manner as they in their wisdom may think themselves authorised to prevent the issuing of executions pending the embargo." [Ibid.]
From the North American,
We are authorized to publish the following correspondence, in order to prevent those misconceptions to which such transactions are apt to give rise.
Last evening major Bissell of the army, delivered the following note, as addressed:
No. I. General JAMES WILKINSON, the commander in chief of the army, to Captain ROBT. GOODLOE HARPER commanding a company of Volunteer Artillery.
Captain Harper, under the veil of patriotism, having secretly assailed the General's honour, and by wiles and fictions, unprincipled and inhuman, endeavoured to destroy his military fortune and his fame—Gen. W. conceives, that injuries of such uncommon atrocity, without a ray of provocation to extenuate them, gives him an incontestible claim to commensurate reparation—He therefore waves the privileges of rank, and demands from capt. Harper the only admissible atonement.
Major Bissell of the army, will deliver this note, and is authorized to adjust the time, place and manner.
Baltimore, Wednesday noon, } 26th October, 1808. }
Mr. Harper answered that from threats which he had understood had been thrown out by gen. Wilkinson, he had for some time expected such a message, and was prepared with an answer, which should be delivered in writing the next morning, at any hour when it might suit Major Bissell to call. Major Bissell requesting to know the substance of the answer. Mr. Harper told him it was this—"I do not intend to meet gen. Wilkinson?" and added, that the reasons would be stated in writing the next morning, when major Bissell should call. He promised to call at 9 o'clock the next morning in order to receive Mr. Harper's answer in writing.
A little after nine, major Bissell called, and Mr. Harper presented to him the following answer, unsealed, requesting him to read it.
No. II. General Wilkinson must excuse me from accepting his invitation. It supposes an equality, which, situated as he is, in the public opinion and in my own, I cannot admit.
Neither can I admit that for advising Mr. Clerk to lay before congress the documents in his possession, tending to prove the existence and nature of gen. Wilkinson's connection with the Spanish government, which advice appears from his note of yesterday, to be the offence whereon his challenge is founded, I am personally responsible to him. It was my right and my duty to give that advice. To admit that I am responsible to gen. Wilkinson for having given it, would be to admit a principle leading directly to the suppression of evidence, and the impunity of offences.
(Signed) ROBT. G. HARPER. Baltimore, Oct. 27, 1808. (Addressed) gen. James Wilkinson, Commander in Chief, &c.
Major Bissell replied, that he was not authorized to receive any further communication from Mr. Harper, but in consequence of Mr. Harper's verbal answer to Gen. Wilkinson, of the last evening, was instructed to leave with him a note from Gen. Wilkinson. This note Mr. Harper declined to receive, unless Major Bissell would first resume his answer to General Wilkinson. This major Bissell repeated that he was not authorised to do, but insisted on leaving the note, which he laid on the table, and took his leave. After his departure Mr. Harper opened it, and found it to be as follows:
No. III. Gen. Wilkinson to Capt. Harper. Major Bissell having reported to the general, captain Harper's determination not to meet him, agreeably to his invitation of yesterday, the general can hold no further communication with the captain, but having descended to the captain's level, he regrets he should be compelled to bear testimony to his cowardice, and put him out of the ranks of honor.
Baltimore, Oct. 27, 1808. morning.
The answer of which No. II. is a copy, was then transmitted to general Wilkinson.
From the American.
To those who know capt. R. G. Harper, it is unnecessary to say that he is a swindler and an alien
to honour, but to the whole world it may be necessary to proclaim him for a coward, because he has been a bully; and tries to place him below the consideration of every man who values the character of a gentleman.
JAS. WILKINSON.
Baltimore, Oct. 27, 1808.
Sir, Being directed by Gen. Wilkinson to open all letters which might be left for him, and to return any one from you, which did not import a design to meet him, on the ground of his invitation of yesterday, I think proper to return you the inclosed.
And am, Sir, Your most obedient servant, DAN'L BISSELL.
Capt. R. G. Harper. N. B. I give you my honour gen. Wilkinson has not seen your letter, nor does he understand the contents of it. D. B.
Note.—The letter which I alluded to in the above, to capt. Harper, was that which has appeared in the North American, under the designation No. II. DANIEL BISSELL.

MR. LEROY ANDERSON'S REMOVAL.
LEAVING this place destitute of an ESTABLISHMENT for the EDUCATION OF YOUNG LADIES; and Mrs. CAMP having determined to remain here another season and to receive boarders as heretofore;
I propose, in conjunction with Mr. George Blackburn, professor of Mathematics in the College of William and Mary, to undertake the charge of an Academy in the same house, wherein it was usually kept next door to Mrs. Camp's.
In this Academy, young ladies will be taught all the branches more immediately conclusive to mental improvement, and those ornamental accomplishments which are deemed so necessary that they have become an almost indispensable part of female education.
Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic; the English Grammar, Geography, and History, will constitute the English Department, the charge of which will be undertaken by Mr. Blackburn.
Under the denomination of accomplishments will be comprehended the French Language; Music, Drawing and Dancing; which will be taught by me.
Mr. Blackburn's acknowledged scientific abilities, and his skill and experience as an instructor of youth; our united exertions; and our punctilious attention to the duties of our respective departments, induce us to hope that our lessons will be attended with all possible advantage to our pupils.
Parents and Guardians who feel disposed to encourage this establishment will be informed of the terms by application to

NOTICE is hereby given, That two runaway boys were committed to the jail of Northampton county in the month of August last past; the one named GEORGE, 5 feet 7 inches high, of a dark complexion and full face, formerly belonging to Mr. John Wadley of the county of Northampton; he says he belongs to a Mr. John Trowers of Richmond county in Virginia; but it is understood that he has made other representations concerning the person to whom he belongs, and it was supposed that he belonged to some person in North Carolina or to the South-west. His clothing is of country manufacture and altogether of cotton.
The other of the said two slaves is a woman named BETTY, passing for the wife of the said George, she is 4 feet 11 inches high, of a dark complexion, now far advanced in pregnancy, and presumably belonging to the same person with the said George; but she has always refused to make any disclosure concerning her master or his residence. She was almost destitute of clothing when committed to jail, so that no distinct description can be given thereof, but has been since furnished with plain and warm clothing suitable to her condition. The owner is requested to come and prove his property, pay the lawful charges and take the said slaves away; otherwise they will be disposed of, as the law directs.
John Snead,
Jailer of Accomack County.

DR. ROBERTSON'S Celebrated Stomachick Elixir of Health.
Which has proved by experience, to be the most valuable medicine, ever yet offered to the publick for curing the Gout, Cramp, and wind in the Stomach; also a certain cure for the Dysentery, or Bloody Flux, Cholera Morbus, severe Gripings, and all other diseases of the bowels; a dose never fails to remove a cold if taken soon after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the Stomach, severe head aches, &c. &c.
The following certificates are selected from the many respectable ones lately received by the proprietor, and are now in his possession.
Certificate of Mr. William Julion, carpenter and builder, No. 69, South Fifth-Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—My wishes to promote the interest of superior merit, and to afford consolation to the afflicted, induces me to request you will lay my case before the publick, as an incontrovertible proof of the astonishing efficacy of Dr. Robertson's invaluable Stomachick Elixir of Health.
I do hereby certify, that I was seized most violently with the dysentery, or bloody flux, which reduced me so much that I was confined to my bed, and became so weak that I could not move without assistance. My situation at that time became seriously alarming, as no relief could be obtained, I was given over, and even death would have been desirable to me, had not a friend of mine, who by chance called to see me, who had just recovered from a similar complaint, though not in severe as mine. He informed me that he was cured by taking Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and advised me to send to you for a bottle. I immediately did so, and by following your instructions given with the bottle, before I had taken half a bottle, I found myself much relieved, and my disorder greatly abated, and by continuing to take it, in one week I was able to walk out, and in less than a fortnight was able to attend to my business.
I therefore recommend every family to be provided with this invaluable medicine, particularly those who live at a distance in the country, where assistance cannot be immediately obtained. As I am convinced that Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, is the most effectual remedy in the world, I have since recommended it to several of my friends in similar complaints, who have always been relieved immediately after taking it. Should any person with to be more fully convinced of my case, I will with pleasure explain it to them by applying to me.
I am with a due sense of the benefit I have received thro' the efficacy of your medicine, Sir, your humble servant, WM. JULION.
Mr. DYO TT, Philadelphia, July 15th, 1807.
Certificate of Mr. George Stokes, South Water Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—For the benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you that Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, has been to me, of the most effectual service. I had been a long time afflicted with a pain in my Stomach, and continual head-ache, attended with a sickness at the Stomach, which brought on a vomiting and lax, which continued on me until I became in a very weak state, without being able to get any relief, until I tried one bottle of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which entirely cured any disorder, except a weakness and want of appetite, for which I have since taken Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Wine Bitters, which quite restored my strength and appetite, and I now enjoy better health than I experienced for many months before—As I consider your medicines to have been the means of saving my life, I solicit you to publish my case for the benefit of others, who by abiding by the directions given with your invaluable medicines, will embrace the same means by which I have happily effected my recovery.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE STOKES.
Mr. DYO TT.
Philadelphia, August 1, 1807.
ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES.
Of Mr. John T. Solomon, Sixth near Race-Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—For the good of the publick and benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you, that having laboured for upwards of six months, under a very bad cough, attended with a difficulty of breathing, pains in my breast and side, and a sickness at my Stomach; having lost all appetite, I became so very much reduced in my strength as to be unable to walk. I was considered in a consumption, and given up for a lost man. In this hopeless situation I had recourse to Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and to my great astonishment, before I had taken one bottle, found myself very much relieved. I expectorated a great quantity of phlegm, which has eased me of one of the most violent coughs that ever man had; I have taken it regularly ever since, and now find myself completely recovered, and shall certainly, for the benefit received, recommend it as far as I can, believing it to be a most efficacious medicine in the above complaint.
I am, Sir, with great respect, Your obliged humble servant, JOHN T. SOLOMON.
Mr. T. W. DYO TT.
August 22.
Certificate of Mr. John Lee, Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR—By the administration of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, and that the publick may be acquainted with the good effect I have received from it, I wish you to publish the following:
About a fortnight ago I was seized with the influenza, or a violent cold attended with a pain in my limbs, and a violent cough, which settled on my lungs, and having been for some time before in a weakly state, I expected a consumption must soon have followed, had I not been advised to try Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which has effectively removed my complaint, and I now feel better health than I have for some time before. It is impossible to say too much in favour of this invaluable medicine, as I am clearly convinced it is the most efficacious remedy ever offered to the publick, in the above complaint.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant, JOHN LEE.
Mr. DYO TT.
November 11.
