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.

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

WASHINGTON CITY.
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, December 5.
Mr. Macon, from the Committee of Claims, made a report against the petition of Oliver Pollock, which was read, and ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. H. Lee moved that the House do go into a committee of the whole on the bill "directing the erection of a Mausoleum to George Washington."
On which motion the house divided Ayes 36, Noes 31. Mr. Morris took the chair.
The Chairman after reading the bill through, proceeded to read it by paragraphs. The first section is as follows:
Sec. 1. "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That a Mausoleum of American granite and marble, in a pyramidal form one hundred feet square at the base, and of a proportionate height, shall be erected in testimony of the love and gratitude of the citizens of the United States, to GEORGE WASHINGTON."
Mr. Allison, after some remarks which we were unable to hear from the remoteness of our position, moved an amendment to the first section, which was, in substance, that a MONUMENT of marble be erected in the Capitol, at the City of Washington, commemorative of the great events of the military and political life of GEORGE WASHINGTON.
The length of the Debate precludes its full insertion this day.

Insinuations the most base, are made in the Aurora against Mr. Crawford one of the Federal Electors of Pennsylvania.—Mr. C. proffered his services to carry the Pennsylvania return of votes for President and Vice-President, to Washington City, gratis, but the Democrats, those economical gentry preferred giving away a few dollars of the people's money to one of their own herd and therefore HIRED one George Nauman; to glos over this business the Jacobins profess to have feared that Mr. Crawford would have suppressed the Pennsylvania votes, although he would have forfeited one thousand dollars had he done it.
It is a remark, the justness of which is universally admitted, that men who have been guilty of crimes, themselves are extremely jealous of others. The crime which they have committed, suggests to them, that another may be guilty of the same, and a recollection of their own infamous conduct, naturally excites distrust. Hence the conduct of the Democrats may be accounted for in the recent transaction at Lancaster respecting Mr. Crawford.
Various reports are circulated respecting the result of the presidential election in Rhode-Island—some say 2 votes have been thrown away. We have nothing on which we can rely, and shall, therefore, decline for the present, placing this state on our list of returns.
In the Aurora of this morning we find the following.—
PRUSSIAN TREATY. "It is worthy of remark, that contrary to the custom heretofore pursued, the President has proclaimed the Prussian treaty without publishing the treaty itself. It should be remembered that the copy published in other papers have ALL been copied from "The Aurora." Cui Bono? says the anglo federalist.—The omission of publication by the Executive, is in itself a matter of suspicion—it argues something hidden and rotten, when an instrument intended to become a law is only published by name; but when a few facts are stated, the secret will be known, and it becomes an important matter of consideration for the people of America."
[The above is a most shameful disregard of truth and a total abandonment of every thing which has the least pretension to honesty. The Editor of the Aurora must know that his assertions are false. The President proclaimed the Treaty and did publish the Treaty itself. The copy published in this Gazette was not from the Aurora. The Treaty appeared officially in the Washington Federalist and from that source we received it. This is only one, of many barefaced impositions practiced on the readers of the Aurora, by its Alien Editor.]
We are informed, Tench Coxe, lies very ill, at Lancaster—his Puffs are almost done—Doctor *****, and the most experienced of the Faculty, have now given him over, as his best friends had done long since—his present dangerous situation, is said, to have been occasioned by the foul distemper—Cacæthes Scribendi.
MARRIED —At Sunbury, Northumberland County, on the evening of the 2d inst. by the Rev. Hugh Morrison; Mr. MATTHEW DUNCAN of Philadelphia, to Miss LETITIA BUYERS, daughter of John Buyers, Esq. of Sunbury.
Domestic Day of Sir Joshua Reynolds. The detail of his domestic day, says EDMOND MALONE, will not be unacceptable. He usually rose about 8 o'clock, breakfasted at 9, and was in his painting room before 10. Here he generally employed an hour on some study, or on the subordinate parts of whatever portrait happened to be in hand; and from 11, the following five hours were devoted to those, who sat for their pictures; with occasionally short intervals, during which he sometimes admitted the visits of a friend. Such was his love of his art, and such his ardor to excel, that he often declared he had, during the greater part of his life, labored as hard with the pencil, as any mechanic working at his trade for bread. About two days in each week during the winter, he dined abroad; once, and sometimes oftener, he had company at home by invitation; and during the remainder of the week he dined with his family, frequently with the addition of two or three friends. In the evenings, when not engaged by the academy, or in some public or private assembly, or at the theatre, he was fond of collecting a few friends at home, and joining in a party at whist, which was his favourite game. The marked character of his table was, that though there was always an abundant supply of those elegancies, which the season afforded, the variety of the courses, the excellence of the dishes, or the flavour of the burgundy, made the least part of the conversation: though the appetite was gratified by the usual delicacies, and the glass imperceptibly and without solicitation, was cheerfully circulated, every thing of this kind appeared secondary and subordinate, and there seemed to be a general though tacit agreement among the guests, that MIND SHOULD PREDOMINATE OVER BODY; that the honours of the turtle and the haunch, should give place to the feast of wit, and that, for a redundant flow of wine, the flow of soul should be substituted.—Of a table, thus constituted, with such a host and such guests, who would not wish to participate?
Miscellaneous Literary Intelligence. In London, a periodical Miscellany, for the use of the juvenile of both sexes, is now publishing, and is said to be edited by certain characters, in the front ranks of the literati. Its objects are to furnish schools with cheap and elegant literature, and by the formulus of prize questions, to excite a liberal spirit of emulation and industry, in the minds of studious youth. Of the odes of the mellifluous HARRIS, who has been failed the Anacreon of Persia—a complete translation is preparing by a classical clergyman of Manchester. The Editor of the Walpole paper informs us, that
A prospectus of the work, on which the President of Dartmouth college has bestowed near twenty years of unceasing application, has been exhibited to the public by a Boston bookseller for the purpose of promoting a subscription. The work is entitled, "A Philosophical History of the advancement of nations," and we doubt not, abounds with treasures of classic lore, interspersed with general remarks and just observations on the cause of their rise and decline. The learned author, after having literally consumed the midnight oil of the better part of a secluded and studious life, in elucidating the subject on which he has written, now sends his book into the world with no other support than that of intrinsic merit. We readily apply to the conduct of the writer in this instance, a couplet from Pope.
"Nor fame I slight, nor for her favours call, she comes unlook'd for if she comes at all."
And a passage from Horace at the same time strikes us with equal force; and which the vanity of the Roman's induced him, though justly to say of himself,
"Exegi monumentum perennius, Regalique situ Pyramida altius: Quid non imortaliter, non Aquilo impotens Possit diruere, aut immensum habens Annorum series, et fuga temporum."
A prospectus of a new publication, to be entitled the Connecticut Magazine, or Gentleman's and Lady's Monthly Museum, appears in a New-Haven paper. It is to be printed on an elegant paper and new type, and its typographical execution is intended to equal that of any British Magazine. The publisher is Mr. Lazarus Beach, of Newfield. The numbers are to be delivered free of postage in a number of towns, among which, this place is one. The numbers are to issue from the press monthly, and will cost 25 cents each, containing 64 8vo. pages. The first will make its appearance in February 1801. One or more plates elegantly engraved will accompany each. The character of Connecticut as the nursery of genius ranks highly. If the above work be contributed to, as we presume it will be, by the gentlemen of literary leisure with which the state abounds, we doubt not that this publication will attach to it numerous patrons.
The ship China, captain Josiah, from Batavia, has put into Newport, Rhode-Island.
The Aurora still abounds with extracts from letters of favorable import to the Jacobin cause, respecting the Legislature of South Carolina. As the result of the election will be known in a few days, we do not think it necessary to repeat the assurances we have so often made, of the Federalism of that State. It may, however, be proper to remind the considerate reader, who judges of the future by the past, of the predictions which have been made in that paper, respecting Vermont, Rhode-Island, New-Jersey, Maryland, and North-Carolina. All these states have by their conduct proved the fallacy of Jacobinic hopes and rendered their predictions null; and now, being in the "last ditch" of despair—Duane trumps up letters by which Mr. Jefferson will have eight votes in South-Carolina. We do not wish to deprive the readers of the Aurora of the "sweet delusion" which they now enjoy—let them indulge their vain hopes, it tickles them for the moment—A few days more, and then *****
The United States brig Augusta, captain M'Ellroy, from a cruise, off St. Domingo, has arrived at Norfolk. A French officer came passenger, and has brought dispatches from General Toussaint to our Government.
Thomas Calvert, Esq. late commander of the United States brig Norfolk, is appointed commander of the brig Eagle.
Yesterday arrived the brig Reward, captain Widgey, from Liverpool, (England);—Capt. W. failed from thence on the 19th of October, but brought no loose papers; and we have only been able to discover papers to the 8th of October, which were enclosed to a merchant of this town. Captain Widgey informs, that the United States Consul gave an entertainment to his countrymen at Liverpool, on the conclusion of the treaty with France; and all the American vessels were dressed in their colors on the occasion. (Boston paper.)
From the Washington Federalist.
"To a quotation from a writer who says that the mode in which "American treats her veteran soldiers, and those who had sacrificed their all in the revolution, was wrongly contrasted by the liberality of Great-Britain to the American Loyalists;" the Aurora annexes this paragraph—"It might be added with great truth, that a spirit has been manifested for some years back, even in America, to cover the authors of our independence with odium, and to discourage the compensation, pensions, and the families of those who rendered conspicuous services in promoting American emancipation and liberty."
Of the truth of this paragraph the files of the Aurora exhibit the most incontestible evidence. If there was one man among us, who, more than any other, deserved to be considered as the "Author of our Independence," the world will unite in saying that man was GENERAL WASHINGTON. If virtue, talents, and public service could exempt the possessor from detraction, our venerable patriot would have defended into the grave as untouched by calumny as he was, free from vice. But this was not even his lot. The envenomed and malignant shafts of slander were incessantly levelled at his sacred fame, and the people of America have for years witnessed the unrelenting efforts of the Aurora to cover with odium even HIM whose name, is the pride and boast of our country.
Few among the living rendered more active and effectual service, in the establishment of our independence than General WASHINGTON, and on no one has more lustre been cast.
No man came forward with more zeal and patriotism than General PINCKNEY, and no man has been more vilely and more shamefully traduced.
Colonel PICKERING was a valuable and a faithful officer through our revolutionary war, and now, by a foreigner, a subject of that crown from which our independence was wrested, Colonel Pickering has been treated as the vilest and most despicable of men.
If in the political line any two men rendered service to America, struggling for liberty, more distinguished service than others, those two men are JOHN ADAMS and JOHN JAY. In addition to their brilliant services in Congress they negotiated that treaty which severed us for ever from Great-Britain; and, in spite of the influence of a Gallie party, obtained for us those boundaries, and those advantages which make us truly INDEPENDENT.
These are the men on whom those who during our contest for liberty were engaged against us, labor to heap up obloquy. With too much truth, therefore, does the Aurora say, "that a spirit has been manifested for some years back, even in America, to cover the authors of our independence with odium."
The Electors of a President and Vice-President for VIRGINIA assembled at Richmond on the 3d inst. and gave their votes as follows:

ODE.—Anacreontic. ARTISTS, form a spacious bowl, Fit to let the liquor roll Like the billows of the sea,— Artist frame this bowl for me. Round the silver brim entwined Wreathing clusters of the vine: Shew with fading easy grace, Bacchus of the jolly face. Let Anacreon there be plac'd, With a wreath of laurel grac'd Singing to his sportive lyre, Toys that love and wine inspire. Bacchus, pres the purple vine, Fill my bowl with rosy wine; Then I'll raise the song with glee, Praising wine, and praising thee.
DUET. The flag thro' the forest, when rous'd by the horn, Sore lighted, high bounding, flies wretched, forlorn; Quick panting, heart bursting; the hounds now in view, Speed doubles! speed doubles! they eager pursue. But escaping the hunters, again through the groves, Forgetting past evils, with freedom he roves Not so in his soul who from tyrant love flies, The shaft overtakes him, despairing he dies.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States—particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in the latter place, 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 fever 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 in flammations.
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 thousands 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.

When files can be, without delay, sent to other places direct, it may be done; when they cannot, they will all be sent to New-York, unless otherwise ordered.
