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, Peterburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. 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 preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dulness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of light.
Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and so pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thou and cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not 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.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
Philadelphia, July 24, 1800.
MR. WAYNE,
THE great and momentous business which has, for some time past, attracted the public attention, and called forth the abilities of the most distinguished characters in the cabinet of the US, the Sovereign of these United States, being at length brought to a happy conclusion, I hasten to communicate the interesting result.
Last evening, an unusually numerous body of Taylors, Boot and Shoemakers, Drummers, Soap-boilers, Barbers, &c. &c. together with all and singular their apprentices and journeymen, constituting, in all, our true and lawful sovereign, one and indivisible, convened, according to adjournment, at the State-House in this city, to make proper arrangements for the future prosperity and well-ordering of the community.
The meeting being opened in due form, the committee, which, at sundry times and in divers manners, had been appointed for that purpose, were directed to report a list of candidates to fill the several offices of our well-beloved commonwealth, at the ensuing election.
In this report was manifested a pleasing instance of that disinterestedness, and that harmony of sentiment which distinguish Sovereign People from all other great personages. The same solicitude for the public weal which had induced us to select the members of that committee from the great body, in consideration of their distinguished talents, induced them likewise, upon the like consideration, to select themselves as the most proper persons, in their estimation, to fill the various offices of government; and all this, notwithstanding the well known arduousness of those employments. As, upon reconsideration, the committee had omitted several of the obnoxious candidates before proposed, and supplied their places from among the seven, last added to the committee; and furthermore, as our well-beloved Chairman Brother Barker was now advanced into the list of Assembly-men, no objection was made to the report. We accordingly proceeded, with no little alacrity, to confirm the nomination of our committee, by a vote taken upon each candidate individually. The most perfect regularity characterized our proceedings till we had gone nearly through the Ticket, when it was discovered by some one that the name of Citizen R. Porter, Esq. had been unfortunately omitted in the ticket of Representatives in the Assembly. The Chairman however, by his official authority, soon exculpated us and declared the omission to be chargeable solely to Secretary Rorer; and as we well knew that reading was not his vocation, we readily excused him, voted in Brother Porter, and went on again, well pleased that we had been able to say Aye at the end of every name proposed by the Secretary and Chairman without, hitherto, making a single blunder.
We now congratulated ourselves upon this almost miraculous success, and upon the disappointment and mortification of a number of sarcastic beardless boys, who had assembled for no other purpose than to divert themselves with the appearance and proceedings of their Sovereign. I confess for myself, I was now anticipating with triumph the glorious prosperity of our happy government, when our able and worthy Chairman, and others, his no less worthy competitors should sit in the high places of power, and dispense wisdom and law to our prosperous and grateful nation; and when our fellow-citizen A. J. Dallas, esquire, partner in our sovereignty, and worthy in degree, should move in the subordinate, but not contemptible sphere of Common Councilman of the city of Philadelphia. Thus were my thoughts running cheerily on and regaling themselves with the rich luxuriance of future scenes, when lo! a most untoward accident diverted my attention, and broke the chain of these golden reflexions.
This was no other than a motion of citizen T. F---r, one of our leading characters, to strike out, from the list of common Councilmen, the name of Philip Odenheimer, citizen butcher, and to insert in the place of it the name of --- Bois, citizen grag-seller. Upon this, I must confess, no little confusion ensued; and I cannot but think it unkind in our fellow citizen, thus to expose the meeting to the ridicule of envious and evil-minded spectators, after we had to happily advanced almost to the last step of our business. He surely could not but have observed, that these sovereign assemblies are much better qualified to vote, especially in the evening, than to manage an intricate debate, such as this motion was calculated, directly, to produce. Besides, he might have recollected, that we had a popular committee, consisting of near thirty members, constituted for the purpose of discussing characters, and making judicious arrangements without exposure to the scrutiny and ungenerous remarks of spectators.
Our much respected fellow citizen, however, thought differently, and doubtless felt it to be a duty which he owed his country to state, that though he felt no disrespect to citizen Odenheimer, he thought commodore Bois should be put in his place, because a common Councilman is very necessary in that part of the town, which otherwise will be destitute. The measure was opposed on the score of delicacy; but citizen F---r obviated that objection by urging a much more important consideration: "I believe, said he, it is very well known to the committee
and others, that that part of the town is too much under the influence of ROBERT WHARTON: the people are deceived and led astray by him; and for my part, I was very much astonished when I saw that the committee had not appointed a single common Councilman in that part, to tell the people, and get them right. Now Commodore Bois keeps tavern there, and has more influence among the people than any of the rest of us; and I believe if we should put him into the Common Council that ROBERT WHARTON would find himself mistaken."
This forcible reasoning seemed to have wrought a thorough conviction upon the minds of all, and the assembly appeared prepared, without further alteration, to adopt the measure proposed. But here again, as if we were destined to have our course thwarted and interrupted by some left-handed God, citizen P---n immediately rose and proposed to divide the question. "It has always been the practice, said he, of public bodies, like this, to take the vote first upon the question of striking out, after which it will be in order to move for filling up."
Here several motions of different kinds were made at the same time. Some urged that it was out of order to make any motion on the subject; others proposed to try the motion for striking out merely. The chairman said, "a motion has been made by the citizen who made it to strike out the name of P. Odenheimer and insert that of Commodore Bois; and as this motion was made first it must be tried first." As he was about to put this question, another citizen declared that the motion for amendment was first in order.
This being settled to the satisfaction of the chairman, the question was proposed accordingly; but the citizens at large were far from having kept pace with that subtle argumentation which had brought the business to the present crisis, and of course, they were in no measure prepared for so sudden and at the same time so important a decision. Consequently few voted, and the voices of those who were so drowned by the different hangars, which still continued, that nothing was determined.
Citizen --- then rose, and by the favour of a pillar which was near him was enabled to stand. His countenance promised to throw some light upon the difficult subject before him—for upon every other object before him it actually did throw light. Neither in this particular did it deceive us. "The question now before us, said he, is nothing more than to strike out the name of P. Odenheimer. The motion does not say that we must put in Commodore Bois then. It is nothing only to strike out, and when that is done there will be a blank, and then we can fill up that blank again with the name of P. Odenheimer, and therefore I am for striking out."
The question being thus rendered plain, as would seem, to the meanest of Sovereign capacities, it was again proposed, after having been twice or thrice repeated from the chair. Several voted in the affirmative and at the same time, many others called out that they did not understand the question. In this however, the chairman declared they were mistaken, and in support of his decision stated, what was really the fact, that the question was a very simple one and had been fully explained; he was sure, ther fore , that citizens must understand it. He then concluded by repeating, that the question was simple, and by earnestly entreating them that they would understand it.
He then, after listing some time to give the citizens an opportunity to digest the question, rose and proposed it as follows: "Fellow citizens, the question before you is simply this; whether you will strike out of the list of Common Councilmen, the name of P. Odenheimer." Having stated it as concisely as he could and repeated it several times till citizens seemed to understand it, he requested those in favour of the motion to say aye. This being done, "Now, said the chairman, as many of you, as are against the motion for striking out P. Odenheimer off the list, say aye—I—I mean No!"
As ill luck would needs have it, some answered Aye, and others No—the chairman seemed discouraged, and took his seat. A number of the young rogues who had hitherto stood by, as silent spectators now laughed aloud. We all saw, or thought we saw, mischief loving satire with her eye at the squinting us in the face; we were really disconcerted, and the countenance of every Sovereign was now clouded with chagrin and downright despair.
Such was the situation of public affairs, and such the gloomy prospect of future liberty and the rights of citizens, when, happily for us and our country, citizen F---r, a man born for great emergencies, the undaunted champion of our cause, inspired with great wrath and just indignation, rose and cried out, "There is spies amongst us! Who could do business when a parcel of intruding fellows with their black cockades are watching every little mistake, for nothing but to make game of us in the newspaper?" A murmur now became so loud that the remainder of this eloquent harangue was unfortunately lost; but the voice of the Sovereign was still distinctly heard in different parts of the house. "With some of his mouths he said, "turn them out doors!" From others were heard "d---n 'em, kick them out!"
The chairman luckily seized this favourable moment, while the public mind was roused from brooding over the present perplexities, and was again prepared to exert itself with true democratic energy, and once more proposed the negative of that most embarrassing question, pathetically remarking that he would try it over again . Several voices replied, and the motion was declared to be lost. Though the negative response
was rather loud than numerous, our late misfortune had taught us too much prudence to suffer us to renew them by disputing the decision, and we felt no little exultation when we found that the fatal question was disposed of in any way.
We now went through the list with admirable facility; and to flew our critical spies that we could go through the whole without a blunder, we went back and voted them all in again, as citizen F---n proposed, "conjointly and individually all together, taking each ticket by itself." For the same reason we voted in Citizen Jones, Pearson and Israel, in the same manner as we had done at all the former meetings.
Then we voted to publish our ticket accompanied by a suitable address to the citizens; and as the chairman prudently offered to procure it done, without calling another meeting to appoint a committee for the purpose.
Business being finished, our beloved brother, the chairman, made a suitable address to the people, in which he promised that democrats are poor and must be so, otherwise they would not be democrats. He then, with much sincere gratitude, as we believe, thanked God that we have no British Guineas among us; and informed, that the Sovereign was indebted to the sweeper, who had prepared the room and furnished lights &c. and that he, being an aristocrat, chose, to take his pay in money rather than in patriotism, and concluded by requesting such as had any money to come forward. Accordingly, a number of cents and one penny bit were deposited, and the meeting was dissolved.

‡ It is said that the Democrats have paid no bills since the last meeting, and that the excuse which they make to the Tavernkeepers for neglecting the old bills as well as present payment, is that they were reduced to poverty by a number of fellows wearing black cockades, who picked their pockets during the meeting.

The grocery of Mr. Samuel Hallett, was judiciously entered on Saturday night, and robbed. It hoped those accomplished villains may find a halter.
Hagh Cafe, of Simsbury, (Conn.) a lad about thirteen, was on the 21st instant, burnt to death by communicating fire from a candle to a cask of spirits while emptying it.
At a meeting of the governors of the New York Lying-in Hospital, at the Hospital in Ceder Street: Resolved, that the 10th article of the 2d section of the bye laws be published, which is in the words following to wit: "One or more female pupils, shall be admitted on the recommendation of the physicians, and with the consent of the visiting committee, for the purpose of receiving instruction in the art of midwifery; to remain in the house during the pleasure of the Governors; and at the time of her or their admission, to pay into the hands of the Treasurer such a sum as the Governors may consider a sufficient compensation to defray the expenses of her or their support as incurred by the house."
HARRISBURGH, (P.) July 28.
A correspondent says, among the inuendo that was wafted to the nose of the Governor elect, from the good republicans of Harrisburgh, it was observed, that it will no longer be a crime to be a Democrat. To complete the Republican triumph, it should have been added, or an Insurgent or a Thief.
A soldier's honour it is said, is as delicate as a woman's—it must not even be suspected. If so, how can many of our veteran generals, our Cavaliers sans Peur and Reproche , think of doing duty with such colleagues as Philson and Ogle, McIlvaine and Braunon.
In that vehicle of truth and decency ycleped the Aurora, it is stated that the movements of the British, both southward and northward, indicate hostility to these states, and it urges to vigilance and preparation. It certainly cannot mean, that we should raise a standing army, nor can it be conceived that Pennsylvania is in the smallest danger from any source, under the auspices of her present Captain General, the Old Warrior and Hero of '76.
"Should the whole frame of nature round him break, In ruin and confusion hurl'd, He unconcern'd would hear the mighty crack, And stand unmoved amid a falling world." [See encomium published in the Oracle before the Election.]
Messrs. HODGKINSON and BARRETT,
Respectfully acquaint the Ladies and Gentlemen of Philadelphia, that the
Old Theatre, in Southwark,
will be opened
For Two Nights only,
THIS EVENING, July 21st, 1800, with a species of entertainment, Moral, Illustrative, and Amusing, consisting of Recitation, Music, Song, &c. and properly nominated the
Feast of Reason
AND
The Flow of Soul.
Part 1st.
Will commence with an OCCASIONAL ADDRESS, after 5 year's absence, by Mr. Hodgkinson,
To be followed by Mr. Barrett, who will deliver, the most select parts of the celebrated George Alexander Stevens's
LECTURE ON HEADS.
Being a comic, satyric, whimsical, humourous, moral, illustrative Dissertation and Display
Of Heads, Hearts, Passions, Humours,
Whims, Oddities & Characters.
In three parts.
To expatiate on the propriety of an Entertainment, where the Follies of Life are exposed in laughable & striking colours, & the moral inferences drawn from such display, it is presumed, would be needless. It is well known that the ancients held this mode of instructive amusement in the highest degree of estimation; nor has it been less esteemed by the most polished nations among the moderns. To "Catch the living manners as they rise," has ever been held not only allowable but meritorious; and the opinion given by one of the most enlightened of the sons of men, of the original compiler, of the Lecture now offered to the public, "That his merit, genius, and satirical observations, marked him as a Public Censor; and that his judicious display of Folly and Vice, entitled him not only to public encouragement, but public thanks." As the highly flattered attempts of the then living author must be considered as the highest eulogium to his manes; so it is hoped the fame will to please and entertain in the present case, will be viewed at least with candour.

TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
The farcical, useful, and just report of the proceedings of the Canal at the Republican State House is entitled to a very full consideration. It not only abounds with wit, but, in fact, is a faithful sketch of the clumsy, crude, senseless politics of the "unlearned reason" of
A lot of patches, rude mechanicals Who gain their bread upon the city walls. These silly sheep, instead of attempting to "weigh and perpend" the massy and ponderous questions of State policy, for which they have no intellectual strength, would do well to leave these things to others; to walk worthily of the vocation wherewith they are called; and to reflect that instead of mending their own condition, by their awkward and abortive ambition, they are only the blind instruments, and humble tools of a small and cunning band of Jugglers behind the scenes. The Editor is happy to receive communications of this complexion. He inserts, with alacrity, whatever will bring into disrepute and contempt this French mode of a political Mob, huddling together, and striving to disturb, and to botch, and new vamp the state. He disclaims the domination of a majority of such men, "told by the Head."
We are again deprived of the Boston Papers due by this day's Mail; whether it is owing to the carelessness of Printers--or of any of the Post Masters we cannot determine--but these things ought to be better ordered.
Captain Richard Gardner, of the ship Hazard of Salem, writes from Tenerife, the 27, May, informing that a French national brig had been chased in there, which was direct from Brest, bound to the Isle of France, the captain of which informed capt. Gardner that Peace had been concluded between France and America; and that he had positive orders not to molest American vessels. This intelligence was certified with much formality before the French Consul, who affixed the seal of the Republic to the declaration. The brig left France about the first of May, carrying new Commissioners and Dispatches from the First Consul to the Isle of France: which Dispatches the Commissioners assured Captain Gardner, on their honor, contained Declarations of Peace and good will towards the American flag.
We hope the above account will not serve to decoy our commerce into the jaws of the French sharks! As we have Paris accounts to the first of June, which make no mention of a peace being "concluded," we have reason to believe that the former part at least of the foregoing information is a sheer fabrication of the Frenchmen. Ever since our first difficulties with France, we have been constantly amused with such pacific stories; and, from our sincere desire for peace, have always been as ready to believe the new lie as we were the old one, which has induced the French so often to repeat the trick.
Salem Gazette.
His Excellency Jas. Jackson, Governor of Georgia, has issued a proclamation; cautioning the citizens against entering into the service of William Bowles, who titles himself Director General of Muscogee; and who has addressed letters to certain citizens of that State, dated Head Quarters, St. Marks, Fort, June 5, 1800--Endeavouring to seduce them from their allegiance to the United States. The proclamation states the penalties, which, agreeable to the existing laws of the Union, will be incurred by joining this adventurer in making war on our allies the Spaniards, and adds that Bowles has had the insolence to threaten the life of the Superintendent of the United States in the Creek Nation; substantiated by documents now in the hands of the Governor.
It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Two American seamen, impressed by the Triton frigate, were doing service on board of her when she took one of the Spanish galleons homeward bound--When the frigate arrived in England, they applied to the American Consul, or Agent, and obtained their release, sharing two hundred Guineas Prize money, each. We with every poor fellow, subject to this cruel practice, could be thus rewarded.

"What have you got to say, old Bacon face?" said a counsellor to a farmer, at the late Cambridge assizes--"Why," answered the farmer, "I am thinking that my Bacon face and your Call's head, would make a good dish"
A rhyming who remarked the unful countenance of a Jacobin voluptuary, rather the wore for wear and tear in the drudgery of Venus; and the vagina , applied to him a parody of the old Scotch song "The last time I came o'er the muir"
The last time you slept with your -- You left your health behind you Ye Gods! what pains do you endure Since Lais' arms entwined you Soon as the blushing morn display'd The mournful day ensuing You left betimes the tainted Jade And curs'd the wantons coying. Sprawling on truckle bed you lay Snoring or chastely sporting You kiss'd, and gave your Cash away To mend her ragged curtain. In all her bed there's not a place Where love could safely venture, Since she unveil'd her painted face You loathe the varnish'd tempter. Sooner Duane shall cease to lie Or Mammoth hate the French, Sir; To Franklin's head shall virtue hie, Before your flames you quench, Sir. The modest Poet whose own cheeks crimson as he writes this casualtical word fuggels that "If to your nice and chaster ears This term indelicate appears Scripture politely shall refine And melt it into-- Cucubine ."
A modest Poet who has lately advertised a rhyming pamphlet on some of the political topics of the day, humbly hopes that "no good patriot will refuse nine pence for his Poem. We think the bard a little too sanguine in his expectations of the patronage of Patriotism . Many a good patriot is not worth nine pence, either morally, or arithmetically considered.
LOVING FRANCE TO KIND AMERICA. Dear simple, come give me sweet kisses, * For sweeter sure never girl gave But why, in the midst of my blisses, Do you ask me how many I'd have. * Pecuniary favors, beaucoup de l'argent Sifter France means.
The memorial of the West India merchants and Planters, &c.
"That, in the treaty of Commerce concluded at London, on the 19th of November, 1794, between his Majesty and the United States of America, an article was inserted, by which his Majesty was pleased to declare his consent that it should be lawful for the citizens of the said States to purchase, load, and carry away to the United States in their own vessels, not being above the burthen of 70 tons, all such articles, being of the growth, manufacture or produce of the British West India Islands, as might by law be carried thence to the said States in British vessels, subject only to the same duties on exportation to which British vessels and their cargoes are subject in similar circumstances."
That, altho' the said article was not ratified with the other parts of the said treaty by the United States, yet, having been approved by his Majesty, its principle has been acted upon by the Governors of the British West India Islands without any apprehension of incurring thereby his Majesty's displeasure; for, being well apprized that the profitable existence of the said Islands, and the daily support of their inhabitants, depend in a great measure on a regular supply of lumber and flour from the United States, they have constantly granted licenses to the American vessels to enter the ports of the said Islands with a supply of those necessaries, and have also permitted them to receive in payment and export from the said Islands, such articles of the growth and produce thereof as might lawfully be exported to the said States in British vessels; and such conduct in those Governors, has annually received the sanction of Parliament by a bill of indemnity.
"That the articles exported to the United States, exclusive of small quantities of Muscovado Sugar; have generally consisted of rum, molasses, and coffee; and your Memorialists are of opinion, that unless the Americans are permitted to take back a homeward freight of these articles they will decline the trade altogether; or, at all events, being obliged to demand Spanish dollars in payment instead of produce, they will proceed with the specie obtained to Porto-Rico and other foreign countries, and lay out their money there in the purchase of articles which our own islands can supply without injury to Great-Britain, to the manifest loss of our colonies, and to the great advantage of our rivals and our enemies.
"Your memorialists, therefore, have learnt, with great concern, that instructions have lately been transmitted, in a circular letter of the 9th of July, 1799, from his grace the duke of Portland to his majesty's governors, directing them to limit the future importation of American supplies, in American vessels to provisions only; and the exportation of West-India produce to rum and molasses; excluding, in the one case, all supply of lumber in American vessels, and in the other, prohibiting the exportation of sugar, coffee, and other articles.
That your Memorialists beg leave to observe, that the culture of coffee in some of our islands, Dominica and Jamaica in particular, has increased in a surprising manner the last 7 years, owing in a considerable degree to an increased demand for this commodity in the markets of North-America. The consequences of this increased cultivation have proved eminently beneficial to all classes of the inhabitants, in Jamaica especially, by introducing and establishing a white population in the interior districts in the country, thereby giving security to the whole against the danger of internal commotion.
"That this circuit, later, therefore of the duke of Portland is calculated to produce, and has actually produced the most serious alarm to the cultivators of coffee; and the more so, as it was soon afterwards followed by a sudden and most extraordinary and unexpected depreciation in the price of that and other articles of West-India produce at the British market. The co-operation of these causes has placed the planters in general in difficulties under which they must sink and abandon their plantations, if speedy and effectual relief be not granted to them, towards which, a permission to dispose of some of their produce to American purchasers and exporters, is a measure of indispensable necessity.
"That your memorialists are unable to conclude by what means the benefits of the West-India colonies can be secured to the mother country, otherwise than by such limited intercourse with the United States, as may ensure to those colonies a regular supply of provisions and lumber, since the islands, occupied in the production of those articles which may afford the most profitable return to the mother country, do not grow corn sufficient to feed themselves, neither do they yield fit materials for packages for their produce; nor can these articles be conveyed to them in British shipping at the vast expense at which it is now navigated. And your memorialists beg leave to represent that the limited traffic, which necessity has established, can no longer be an object of jealousy to the mother country, while she prudently forbears by an administration of drawbacks on the re-export of her colony produce, to hold out any temptation for its conveyance to other markets than her own.
"Your Memorialists have on these grounds to entreat, "That the duty levied on West-India produce on its import may, in all cases, be returned on its re-export; or, if that shall appear, for reasons unknown to your Memorialists, objectionable.
"That the maximum, at which the present drawback and bounties are to be reduced, may no longer remain at a price so inadequate as 75s. per cwt. duty included.
"That the bonding system may be continued.
"That, for a limited time, the use of sugar in the breweries may be authorized, and its use in the distilleries be encouraged, by a return of a part of the duty.
"That the proportionate duties on sugar, imported from the West-India Colonies and from the East Indies may be regulated on the principle that shall permanently secure to the former its due preference in the home market. And lastly,
"That the intercourse of the British West India islands with the U. S. of America, may be so far encouraged, as shall secure to the former a regular and sufficient supply of provisions and lumber.

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