FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,
By the brig Tryal, arrived at New-York from Liverpool.
LONDON, May 20. The last India Gazettes bring an account of the arrival in the Ganges, of the Sanson American ship, from England, after having had an engagement off the island of Cebu, with a French privateer brig of 16 guns, which the latter took. One man on board the American was killed; and a lady passenger had the misfortune to lose her arm by a shot, while employed in the humane act of dressing a seaman's wound.
Government is reported, received Paris Journals yesterday, three days later those of which we have published the contents. They are said to contain a letter from Moreau, dated the 11th, giving ample details of the previous battle, and of a new one on the 9th, in which the French were again successful. Moreau is represented to assert that he has taken in all 11,000 prisoners, and four pieces of cannon, and that the Austrians are retreating to Ulm.
Yesterday morning, an account was received of the Spanish Squadron consisting of several ships of the line and frigates which had for some time blockaded our ships at Canton, having landed their stores and returned to Manila to refit. The warehouses in which the stores were deposited accidentally took fire, when they were all destroyed, which has left the fleet entirely destitute of sails and cordage.
The examinations on the subject of the atrocious attempt on his Majesty's life are now nearly brought to a close, and they were yesterday sent to the Attorney and Solicitor General as materials on which to form the prosecution, which is forthwith to take place by a special commission and also to prepare a Bill to be brought into Parliament, not for the extension of the treason laws, but to place the same safeguard over his Majesty's life, as over that of his meanest subject.
The whole of the examinations have been taken by Richard Ford, Esq. not by the Privy Council; and through the whole of the interesting business he has been most zealously assisted by the Prince of Wales, and his three royal brothers; some of whom were constantly present, and all displaying the most affectionate duty, and the most anxious interest, to discover whether it was the result of a treasonable design on the sacred life of their parent, or the wanton act of barbarous insanity.
We have avoided entering into all the loose and vague reports touching the examinations. We can now, however, state the summary of them, and the result as they have struck those who have most attentively weighed the whole of the evidence on the case, and as they will appear on the trial.—Above 40 witnesses in all have been examined.—Mr. Lidderdale, the surgeon of the 15th regiment, who arrived in London yesterday, deposed, that Hadfield was under his care at Croydon barracks, in the year 1796, being then afflicted with the most violent insanity, occasioned, as he believes, by a wound in his head; that he remained in that state some weeks, and during the greatest part of the time was confined to his bed. When discharged, he was by no means recovered; and the Doctor further declared, that it was his decided opinion then, as it is now, that Hadfield would always be subject to violent relapses.—J. Jones stated that the prisoner lodged at his house in White Lion Street, Pentonville, some time ago; that his head appeared frequently in a disordered state.—Nailor, a man with whom he worked, spoke as to his conduct in the shop, which, he said, was very regular.
A number of persons to whom Jas. Hadfield himself referred for his character, & particularly a companion whom he familiarly called Harry were also under examination. From these persons, as well as from his second wife, with whom he lives, the uniform account is that, unless at particular times, and these always after liquor, he never showed the least symptom of insanity. His wounds, which were dreadful, and which made him for a long time a spectacle of horror and compassion, made him furious under the least indulgence. Four months ago he had a long and a severe fit of insanity. About three weeks ago he had another, but which was short and transitory. In both instances they sprung from liquor. Since that time up to the very moment of the horrid attempt, he was calm, composed and rational. He had made what is called a Saint Monday of yesterday fortnight, and then he fell in with a cobler of the name of Truelock, who either is, or affects to be touched with a religious frenzy. It is clear from all the evidence that this man filled the brain of Hadfield with some incoherent and frantic superstitions, which were either artfully designed to lead him to the perpetration of the diabolical crime, or were the effusions of a confirmed lunatic. He told him of a divine commission which he had to perform for the good of mankind—that he was appointed to purify the earth—that in truth he was God, and that he wanted a second God to assist in his work, and he would ap-
point Hadfield to be his son. This Truelock when examined talked in the same way, and Mr. Ford has not yet been able to ascertain whether his seeming insanity is affected or real. After this interview on Monday the 12th inst. Hadfield appeared to his comrades and to all about him, to be unusually thoughtful, and even gloomy. His attention was distracted, and some mysterious words which fell from him at intervals, then disregarded by those about him, are now remembered—Such as, "That great changes would soon be brought about—There was a great work to be done." And on the very day when the accident took place in Hyde Park he exclaimed, as if brooding over his design—"They will say it was I who did it." On the whole of Thursday he showed no particular signs of derangement; neither where he was shaved, where he bought the powder, nor at the public house where he drank a single pint of beer, did he show any mark of insanity. In the seat which he chose in the pit, it is remarkable that though at a considerable distance from the Royal Box, it was the only point from which he could take a clear aim. From the elevation of the Box, it had gone nearer, he must have lost the view of his object. It is clear that he must have taken his stand at the door of the pit early in the afternoon to be among the foremost in entering the Theatre, that he might thus choose his seat; and that he took an aim and discharged his pistol at the Royal person six or seven concurring testimonies serve to prove.
So far as to the previous circumstances, indicating a design which terminated in the overt act of treason; but on the other side, the former character of the man, his services, his loyalty, and his temporary distractions how far they may serve to discountenance the idea of a treasonable design on the King's life, must be determined by a jury.—It is clearly proved that all his former conduct has been most exemplary. Numerous anecdotes are told of his desperate bravery, and also of his loyal attachment to the King. Among others, it is said, that when in France, and when under the cure of his wounds, with his one arm, while the other was broken, he was detected by the sentinels, hacked down a tree of liberty in the yard of the prison where he was confined. Unless then the diabolical deed was engendered in his brain by the artful or lunatic suggestions of Truelock, there is no ground for a supposition of previous treason. But the public ear is daily and hourly assailed by fresh rumours. On Sunday an account was brought us of an attempt at Windsor, the falsehood of which we immediately ascertained, and thought it our duty not to alarm our readers by the rumour; for there is nothing to be apprehended so much as the idle and perverted reports which are propagated from the slightest surmise. The public may be assured that the only circumstance the least mysterious, and which has occasioned any enquiry, is that of the letter addressed to the Prince of Wales, found at the door of Lady Albemarle, and which has been referred to Mr. Ford to examine, with a view to discover the author.
At five o'clock yesterday afternoon all the examinations closed, and an account of them was dispatched by a messenger to the King at Windsor, where, being the anniversary of her Majesty's real birth day, the same was observed by the ringing of bells at both churches during the day.
May 21. Nothing new transpired yesterday, before Mr. Ford, respecting the attack of Hadfield upon His Majesty's life. A very singular circumstance, however engaged the attention of the public, and which, if true, would tend very much to confirm the suspicion of a treasonable plot having had existence. A letter was received from Dublin, by a gentleman from that city, now in London, stating, that on Tuesday the 13th inst. there was a report in Dublin that His Majesty had been shot in the theatre.—This was two days previous to the actual attempt. We state the fact precisely as we received it. A coincidence so remarkable ought to be particularly enquired into.
On Friday last there was a warm debate in the Irish House of Commons upon that article of the Union which relates to the number of representatives to be returned to the Imperial Parliament.—Of the 100 members prescribed by the resolutions of Union, 64 are to be returned by counties, two for Cork, two for Dublin, and one by the University.—31 are to be selected from the principal cities and towns, keeping in view a distinction in favor of towns and cities, viz. Waterford, Newry, Clonmel, Armagh, Sligo, Downpatrick, New Ross, Portarlington, Limerick, Kilkenny, Wexford, Dundalk, Carlow, Coleraine, Tralee, Enniskillen, Ballysh, Derry, Youghal, Kinsale, Ennis, Mallow, Cork, Carrickfergus, Drogheda, Galway, Bandon, Liscum, Dungarvon, Athlone, Dungannon, being in themselves counties of cities, and always respecting population and wealth in the preference given. The Bishops are to be returned in the following manner, viz. The Primate of Ireland, the Bishop of Meath, the Bishop of Kildare, the Bishop of Derry.
In the second session the Archbishop of Dublin, the Bishop of Raphoe, the Bishop of Limerick, the Bishop of Dromore.
In the third session, the Archbishop of Cashel, the Bishop of Elphin, the Bishop of Downe, the Bishop of Waterford.
In the fourth session, the Archbishop of Tuam, the Bishop of Leighlin, the Bishop of Clonmel, the Bishop of Cork and Ross.
In the fifth session, the Bishop of Killaloe, the Bishop of Kilmore, the Bishop of Clogher.
* One Archbishop is to sit every Session in the above rotation.

The Sugar market was brisk, in consequence of the recent extensive orders from the continent. Refined articles were dearer. Clayed sugars in general, cheaper. Coffee, spices, and some other articles heavy. Dyers' wood, leather, and most of the tobaccos dearer. From the Elbe 49,011 lbs. of hops were imported; the prices lower. The government of Batavia compel neutral vessels loading there to take equal parts of sugar, coffee and pepper.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
May 15.
CONNER vs. ROBINSON.
This was a cause of singular interest, being an action to recover 70l. due as rent for a lodging held by defendant from Plaintiff, at two guineas a week in South Bolton Street. The occupancy and agreement to pay this rent were admitted, but it appearing that Plaintiff knew that Defendant was what is termed a woman of the town, the Jury without hesitation gave a verdict for defendant—Lord Eldon observing, that a contract which went to promote vice and immorality, was ipso facto void, and that no landlord was entitled to receive rent which he knew could arise only from the wages of prostitution.
TOULON, May 1.
A barque arrived here from Malta, brings an account that our brave garrison in that island have immortalized themselves by their noble defence, but it is in extreme want and receives no supply of provisions.
BERNE, May 6:
It has been announced to our government that the French army of reserve, consisting of 60,000 infantry, and 10,000 horse, was preparing to cross Switzerland, and that the first columns had arrived the 2d of May at Geneva. Lucerne is mentioned as the point of union. They write, in fact, from Lausanne, that a considerable body of troops which was to go immediately into the canton of Vaud, has arrived, and that several Generals are expected. General Watrin will march with his division, and station himself between Bex and Coppet. Haller, who dwells at Lausanne, has received a letter from General Berthier, announcing that the First Consul will lodge at his house. The fine house of professor Saufere, at Geneva, is prepared for him. All the militia of Lausanne is to be under arms to receive him. As he was to be on the 9th at Geneva, it is probable he is now at Lausanne.
GENEVA, May 10.
Seventeen thousand men have taken the route by Vevey, on the 16th, 17th and 18th Floreal, and proceeded towards Great St. Bernard and Simpson. On the Lake of Geneva, nothing is seen but barques laden with biscuit, provisions, and ammunition, to Tilleneuve, from whence they will be conveyed across the mountains by means of mules. Six regiments of cavalry are in the environs of Nyon, at the other extremity of the lake, and expect orders to advance in their turn.
SCHAFFHOUSEN, May 9.
The battle of the 15th (May 5) fought before Stockach, was terrible. Moreau had four horses killed under him. Lecourbe was near being made prisoner; two of his guides were killed by his side. The French army was obliged to fall back for a moment; it was then that Moreau, at the head of a heavy corps of cavalry, precipitated himself upon the enemy, and at once arrested its progress. Restoring the courage of his soldiers by his presence and example, he made them charge the enemy anew within the wood on the other side of Stockach. General Kray lost 13 or 14,000 men. This battle can only be compared with that of Fleurus for the fury with which the two armies disputed the ground. It is asserted that the Prince of Wirttemberg was made prisoner, and that the entire emigrant regiment of Bachmann was taken.
PARIS, May 16.
Tallien is arrived at Toulon, as well as General Davoust. Several persons have been arrested at Strasbourg as accomplices in the intrigues of the English. One of them is a dancer named Bouffard. Search is making for another named Lamotte.
May 18.
General Brune arrived on the 20th (May 10) at Dijon. He is destined, it is said, for the command of the army of reserve. Dumourier, who has arrived in Lower Saxony from Russia, is said to be charged with a mission from Paul I. to the Court of London.
MANTUA, April 13.
Want of provisions causes the French to desert in great numbers. On the 10th,
General Melas received intelligence of great importance from Genoa, by a spy for which he rewarded him with 2000 livres.
VIENNA, April 19. On the 8th the English admiral Lord Keith entered the port of Vado, with two ships of the line of 74 guns, 4 cutters, a brig, and 8 ships laden with provisions.
April 23.
Letters have just been received from Italy, stating that the citadel of Savona had surrendered and that the right wing of Massena's army had been defeated. All the accounts from Italy agree in stating that all the inhabitants of the territory on the eastern and western coast of Genoa have arisen against the French, and that the few partizans they had yet left, had withdrawn with them into the city of Genoa. The disposition of the people in general are, greatly in favour of the imperialists, which has been effected particularly by the proclamation of General Melas.
It is now asserted that the Duke of Orleans and his brothers, who have failed from Portsmouth for Minorca, intend to join the army of Conde in that island, where it will be stationed and paid by Great Britain. It is added, that it is the intention of ministers to assemble all the French Royalists in Minorca and Italy, and to send into the Mediterranean as many British troops and foreign mercenaries as can be procured, for the purpose of creating a formidable army, with which to attack the South of France, in conjunction with the Austrians, who, after they shall have taken the Genoese and Nice, will enter Provence. That the royal standard of France will then be displayed under the auspices of the British government; but that the Austrians are not expected to join in the project of restoring Royalty; but will fight merely for territory and co-operate with the British and emigrants, as far as their mutual interests go.
HEALTH-OFFICE,
July 9th, 1800.
The Governor having politely granted the Board of Health a superior accommodation than where the office has been lately kept, the public are informed that after the 10th instant, the Health-Office will be removed to the State-House; where those who have any thing to send their connexions performing quarantine, will please to forward before 8 o'clock, at which time there will be a conveyance 6 days in each week to the vessels detained by law.

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
NEW-YORK, July 9.
Yesterday came on the trial of one Kroucher, for a rape.
The circumstances attending on the commission of this brutal violence, were particularly aggravating. The prisoner is a man of about forty, with every mark on his face of a crafty, unprincipled villain. The girl was a child of scarce fourteen years—she told her story with artlessness and tears. The horror of the diabolical scene, seemed still fresh in her memory in her memory. Her pallid countenance and trembling accents showed the extremest agitation. It seems this monster had the address to invent some pretext, by which he persuaded the foster mother of the child to let her go to his lodgings. He locked his door—and with threats and force executed his guilty purpose. He even threatened her, if she resisted or made any outcries with instant death.
The criminal had no other apology than, that he was a whore! Every sentiment of nature, every evidence of fact, revolted at the insinuation. The Jury returned a verdict of GUILTY.
This is the same wretch who lived in the house of Guliana Sands, at the time she was murdered—who had attempted to seduce her—who was absent at a suspicious place that very evening, and who pursued the suspected young man with the utmost malignity. It appears also, that this fiend has more than one wife, and that the one he has in this town, has always treated with Russian cruelty. Every one must rejoice, that the community is at length freed from a demon so artful and unfeeling.
A person calling himself major John A. Schaeffer, some time since advertised in the United States Gazette, for fraudulently drawing bills on Timothy Pickering, and Samuel Meredith, was taken up at Halifax on the 16th ult. and committed to prison, under the alien act.
NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Such is the noble spirit of our gallant tars, that on the morning of the second day only, after the opening of the general rendezvous for the crew of the President, there were more than 140 volunteers, who were anxious to follow a favorite officer in pursuit of the numerous privateers that have recently followed our merchantmen to our very harbours—Both the merchant and planter will join us in our wishes for their success.
We congratulate our countrymen on the recent success of Capt. M'Elroy, who has sent in two privateers within a few days.
To the Editor of the Daily Advertiser.
To prevent any unfavorable impression which the misrepresentations of calumny might make upon the public mind relative to the rencontre which took place yesterday between the troops of the garrison and a collection of low fellows, I have thought it a duty I owe to myself and the public to give a circumstantial narrative of the affair.
During the period of my being stationed at this post, and for some considerable time before, the difficulties and vexations which every officer belonging to the garrison have experienced from the soldiers frequenting a public house, situated just without the garrison limits, and kept by one Mr. North, were very serious. At this house the soldiers were not only suffered but encouraged to get intoxicated, which gave rise to frequent disorders in the garrison. As soon, therefore, as I was sent to take the command here (in April last) I determined to prohibit as far as possible, all intercourse by the soldiers with the house in question. I accordingly issued an order to that effect immediately on my arrival. By the same order, patrols were directed to reconnoitre, at certain intervals, to see if any of the soldiers were to be found there. In performing this duty yesterday, when I conceived it peculiarly necessary, from the large collection of persons that were convened from the mountains, &c. added to the riot and fighting which I observed going forward there, and in which I had good reason to believe that some of my own men were engaged—the patrols were insulted—deprived of their arms, and beaten inhumanely, by some of the crowd. On a report being made to me by one of my men that they were murdering the patrols, I hastened towards the barracks with the view of having the troops turned out and marched in order to the relief of the patrols, and, if possible, to apprehend the offenders that they might be brought to justice. Before reaching the barracks however, I discovered the soldiers who had already got the alarm, running in a confused and scattered body across the plain with their arms, and fixed bayonets, towards the scene of action; I in vain attempted to halt and form them; they pressed on till they had reached North's house, into which the perpetrators, with others, had betaken themselves. Here I again renewed my exertions to induce my men to order, but still in vain—so, on seeing their companions who composed the patrols covered with blood from the blows they had received from the rioters, their fury became unconquerable; they attacked the house, and attempted to force their passage up a stair way, at the top of which these fellows had arranged themselves, armed with the guns they had taken from the patrols, with clubs, stones, &c. the soldiers were beaten back with loss of blood.
After unrewarded exertion and the exercise of some severity on my part, I prevailed upon the troops to form (not however till much havoc had been committed in and upon North's house). After this I demanded the surrender of those within which after some hesitation, was complied with. I ordered them to be taken to the Guard-house, and the ringleaders confined; and shall keep them so until I shall be advised as to the regular mode of proceeding against them.
them. This statement can be substantiated by respectable testimony. It seems singular if the soldiers were the aggressors as some have already industriously propagated, that they should have received the whole of the bodily injury that happened, while the prisoners have not the least mark of violence about them. But this is not the first instance these fellows have given of a hostile disposition towards the soldiery—there is scarcely a public day of any sort that they don't assemble here and endeavour to raise a disturbance with the soldiers. Some of the very fellows that are now in co. H. C. have been confined before in the same place for the same offence.

BALTIMORE, July 7.
From the Federal Gazette.
"Quid mihi magnum, tibi nil, videtur" HOW Extensive, how despotic is the government of prejudice! In all the concerns of life we are more or less the subjects of her controul. In her sight, generosity is profusion, economy avarice, forbearance pusillanimity, courage rashness, virtue ostentation, and religion hypocrisy. Now like the drunkard she fees double; and now like the jaundiced person, she beholds every other object tinged with an unnatural hue. In politics her power is universal and irresistible. She stands centinel at the avenues of the mind; guards with circumspection the approaches of truth, and the assaults of reason; nor suffers their entrance into the inclosures of intellectual operations. She swears the Andes are mole hills, and public virtue self-interest. She sees angels in the circle, and the spirit of Cromwell in Washington. She discovers filth in the diamond, and treason in JOHN ADAMS. It is the labor of wisdom to throw off her yoke; to examine men and facts as they are. With how much heat and violence is agitated the approaching election of President. How vehement, how passionate the struggle. Is it not the combat of principles, whose victory shall enliven, advance, establish; or benumb, congeal and destroy the energies, the honor, the prosperity of united America? Do we not find that same settled system of opposition to government, which for 13 years past has perplexed and disturbed our national councils, now more than ever united? Are not their designs conceived, established, organized, and pursued with secrecy and venomous fortitude from St. Mary's to St. Croix? And by what means have so large a part of our citizens become politically corrupt; and the unconscious protectors and supporters of a system, which, once in operation, will pull down the banner of national calamities on their own heads? It is caused by that violent current of national and domestic prejudice, which in one common destruction, sweeps away virtue, reason and truth. With what eyes of mad delight did we foolishly admire the commencement of the French revolution. With what mistaken enthusiastic ardor was it celebrated by all ages and classes. How did we honestly rejoice at the triumph of a revolution, the murderous vagaries of which have spotted nations with human blood, cut the cords of love and piety, which connect man with his Creator; freed a nation from a load of unjust oppression and plunged them in infamy, irreligion and a far worse tyranny. When the cruelty of her tender mercies to us, her black policy, her insidious intentions, became apparent to all, whose minds were open to investigation; then was faction busy, her high expectations, though checked, were not crushed; demagogues were incessant in specious arguments, to continue the prejudices of the uninformed and credulous, to represent the cause of France as the cause of real liberty; our own government, just and impartial to all, as opposed to the rights of humanity, and the progress of freedom; as the advocates of British influence, and the enemies of their own country. But there was a barrier. A mountain of characters must be levelled, sunk. She opened her damnable tongue, and Washington became a dupe and a traitor. But the delusion soon vanished. Time has covered him with glory, and his calumniators with shame and infamy, by every good and discerning man. But the same fulky ungenerous spirit remains. Those who have spent their lives in the service of their country: those whose talents and whose virtues entitle them to gratitude, respect and authority, meet opposition, hatred and detraction. That laudable candid jealousy, which ought ever to distinguish the examination of the characters, transactions, and motives of men in office, has become, even among many who are not inimical to our constitution, a constant, fault finding, mean suspicion; distorting every public transaction, and imputing the worst designs to the most upright intentions. The same mode of conduct, with the same attendant circumstances, is now applauded and now condemned, as particular objects may suit. Sending Mr. Jay to Great-Britain was imputed to pusillanimity. War, war, was the cry. But under similar circumstances, three attempts at reconciliation with France are imputed to what? To a determination to wage war with that power, and draw close the cords of affection with England. The most upright, faithful and steady conduct in the executive, is no mean of meeting the good opinion of men, who, with
TH' unconquerable will, the restless hate, And courage never to submit or yield."
are bent on the continuance of their most inveterate opposition, till the present administration shall be overthrown, and themselves in offices, or else filled with talents and integrity.

Notwithstanding we have the amicable disposition of the French, continually rug in our ears, and accounts of their having orders to stop their infamous piracies, yet not a day passes without hearing of some capture; and the damning fact of the crews of 68 American vessels being now in the prisons of Bastille and Guadalupe, gives the lie direct to all their professions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Extract of a letter from Messrs. Thomas Dickinson & Co. dated London, April 20, 1800, to Robert Hooper, Esq. of Marblehead.
"The Polly, Laskey's case, was yesterday argued in the Admiralty Court; and we have much pleasure in informing you that restitution of the cargo was decreed."
The Polly was loaded with Havana Sugar and Cocoa, and bound to Bilboa. The Sugar was purchased with bills on the Havana, that were bought at Bilboa by the same master the preceding voyage. The Cocoa was never landed, but taken from a vessel belonging to the same owner, and immediately put on board of her. The Admiralty Court, however, being convinced that the whole was bona fide American property, ordered restitution thereof.
The arrival of the American ship Sanfom in the river Ganges from England is mentioned in the last India Gazettes received in London,—she had one man killed, and a lady, passenger, wounded, in an engagement with a French Privateer.
The French privateer schooner L'Union, from Guadalupe, between the latitudes of 32 and 35, and longitudes of 68 and 71, has captured fourteen American vessels, the names of several of them we have already mentioned.
IMPORTANT!
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman, dated
LIVERPOOL, May 20.
"By an American just arrived from Paris, I am informed that our Commissioners have obtained secret information, that the Consuls had authorized, by recent instructions, the captures of every American found trading to any part of the West Indies; while orders are given to let those pass that are bound to Europe, except they are met by cruisers belonging to particular persons, who have paid for the special privilege to make general captures. Hence you will often find, that after a national frigate or corvette has let your ships pass, the privateers Talleyrand, &c. will send her into port as good prize.—Thus the national ships are made decoy ducks for the privateers belonging to the favorites of the Consuls."
Two respectable clergymen of the Episcopal church, who happened to go rather late to the University Hall, on the 4th of July to hear the oration of Mr. Meredith, have been assailed by the Apollon of the Aurora. It seems that, previous to the arrival of the gentlemen in question, the Declaration of Independence had been read; in consequence of this absence, the Editor of the Aurora, in a fit of patriotism, reasons, agreeably to Hibernian logic, in the following manner:
These men are members of the Episcopal Convention. The Declaration of Independence was read on the fourth of July, and they did not hear it.
Therefore They are not proper persons to teach children their rudiments, or citizens religion!!!
In the spirit of the above paragraph we have dragged another, in the Aurora style, and make a present of it to democratic logicians.
Yesterday the news of the rout of the French, the treason against the King, and several members of the Morning Chronicle and Courier reached the Aurora Office.
Mr. Duane and his lunatic assistant in canonicals did not arrive till 12 o'clock, which, according to a stop watch, was 2 hours, 5 minutes, 10 seconds and 33 demi seconds of true time, after the receipt of said intelligence.
Therefore the said Duane and his associate are not qualified to instruct ignorant democrats, or to tell lies, and talk incoherently, after the most approved Jacobinic form.
NEW DISCOVERY.
The Aurora is of opinion that episcopalian and gentlemen, associated with churches, colleges, and conventions, are not proper persons to impart scientific, moral and religious truth! We have been groping in the dark for centuries, but this Aurora shines upon us, and all the phantoms of prejudice flee away. No, ye deluded parents and guardians, gentlemen, especially if they belong to a religious society, or even go to church, or have graduated at a college, are wholly unqualified for the task of preaching, or instruction. Piety and learning are not reckoned as qualifications in our Jacobin vocabulary. The only instructors which we will procure for youth, shall be clowns, and irreligious, and ignorant, who from college have brought nothing away, and of whom every church is ashamed.

Says the Editor of the New York, Mercantile advertiser, on a minute re-examination of our files of London papers, we find the following article respecting our Commissioners, under date of
DEAL, May 20.
"The Superb, Captain Trail, arrived in the Downs from Charlesstown, and landed her passengers at the Kings Hotel. She was boarded in the channel by a French privateer brig mounting twenty-two guns, and 180 men, and after looking at her papers, ordered her to proceed.—The French commander said that the American Commissioners had settled the differences between the two Governments, and that they would not capture any American vessels, except they had British property on board. The Superb had a cargo worth 25,000l."
According to the common law of England, "a contract which tends to promote vice and immorality is ipso facto void; and no landlord is entitled to receive rent which he knows can arise only from the wages of prostitution. We direct the attention of the public to this circumstance, because the common law of England and that of America is said to be virtually the same; and because many of our landlords may be in a situation to need the hint. A cause was determined in the British Court of Common Pleas, on the 15th May, in which this point of law was brought to an issue, and a verdict given in its favour—See the foreign news in the preceding columns."

WANTED,
At the Office of the Gazette of the United States.

Eighty Thousand Persons, OF ALL AGES, Have, within two years past, found relief from HAMILTON'S Worm-destroying Lozenges, In various dangerous complaints, Arising from Worms, and from foulness or ob- struction in the STOMACH AND BOWELS.
THE medicine bears no analogy what- ever to others of similar titles, to com- monly complained of as operating with a degree of violence sufficient not only to kill worms but sometimes to endanger the pa- tient's life; on the contrary a peculiar ex- cellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the ten- derest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body; but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly ef- ficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious com- plaints, and are the best and mildest purga- tive that can be used on any occasion.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasant appearance and an agreeable taste.
Description of worms, And the symptoms by which they are known. Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. The teres or large round worm, the ascarides, or small maw worm, and lastly, the tania, or tape- worm; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints; it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath especially in the morning; bad and corrupted gums; itching in the nose and about the ears; convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech; starting and grinding of teeth in sleep; irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious; purging, with slimy and foetid stools; vomiting; large and hard belly; pains and sicknes at the stomach; pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits; flow fever, with small and irregular pulse; a dry cough; ex- cessive thirst; sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance; and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate re- course to Hamilton's Worm-destroying Lo- zenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Recent cures, selected from several hundreds, the authenticity of which any per- son may ascertain by letter or personal appli- cation, not being performed in Europe—No- body knows where—but at home.
A daughter of Mr. Ewing Wiley, No. 109. Cedar Street, Philadelphia, was dread- fully afflicted with worms, inasmuch that her life was with great reason despaired of; her complexion faded and grew pale and fal- low; her eyes sunken; her appetite was lost, and succeeded by a painful and constant sicknes at the stomach, which general wast- ing and debility was accompanied with every appearance of a dangerous fever. From this deplorable situation she was relieved, and restored to a state of perfect health and strength in a few days, by the use of Ham- ilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges; which expelled a great number of large pointed worms, from six to nine or twelve inches in length; one of which being of a most ex- traordinary thickness, (supposed from half an inch to an inch in diameter) was opened and found to contain a quantity of young ones. The above is communicated by Mr. Wiley, believing its perusal may be useful to many, by extending the knowledge of a medicine which merits universal attention.
MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 47 Wilkes Street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms, they were frequently trou- bled with convulsion fits, and violent start- ings in their sleep, and with almost contin- ual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confi- dence of success which only increased our disappointment. The child grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hope of their recovery. The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inha- lant of this world. In this distressing mo- ment I was told that Hamilton's Worm- Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immedi- ately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skins of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevi- table.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of Sep- tember, 1799. J. SMITH.
Letter from Mr. John Abercromby, Soap and candle manufacturer, No. 23, Bridge Street, Baltimore, to the proprietor of Ham- ilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
Sir, October 12, 1799. I think it my duty to inform you that I have experienced the happiest effects from your Lozenges, having been much affected for four years past with various complaints caused by a cold, particularly a constant pain in my stomach and bowels, frequent and severe head-ache, with a general lassitude and weakness, during which time I had the best medical advice that could be obtained from the most skillful physicians I could hear of, both American and European, but with- out any alleviation of my disorder.
I should too probably have continued without relief, but for your Worm-destroy- ing Lozenges , which brought from me an astonishing quantity of small white worms, about the size of a coarse thread, and in a short time I found myself perfectly free from all my former complaints, and have enjoyed a good state of health for five months past.
I have constantly recommended your me- dicine, and shall as long as I live, having from my own experience reason to believe it to be an invaluable and unparallelled remedy. Should any person wish for further information, I will with pleasure satisfy their enquiries on this subject.
JOHN J. ABERCROMBY.
Sir, July 10, 1799. I had been a long time afflicted with a violent gnawing pain in my stomach, a dull, heavy and continual head-ache, with a fre- quent swimming in my head, accompanied with dimness of sight, and sometimes partial blindness, and was rendered incapable of at- tending my business through loss of strength; sometimes could scarcely eat a morsel for two or three days, when my appetite would suddenly become astonishingly voracious. I firmly believed myself to be in a consumption, which must soon put a period to my life, when happily hearing of several cures per- formed by Hamilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges in complaints which could not be accounted for; I took two doses which ex- pelled an incredible number of small sharp pointed worms. In short, I now enjoy as perfect health and strength as ever I did in my life, and I believe my cure to be entirely effected by means of your medicine.
My brother witnessing its surprising effi- cacy, was induced to take a dose, though in tolerable health, which occasioned him like- wise to void a great quantity of worms of the same kind, and thereby probably prevent- ed his experiencing those dreadful disorders with which he was afflicted.
A sincere desire that others in similar cir- cumstances may receive the same benefits, is the reason of my sending you this account.
Yours, very respectfully, AQUILLA GOLDING.

A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthmas, Sore Throats, and ap- proaching Consumptions.
Thousands are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empiric medicines daily of- fered for the cure of the above complaints— dear bought experience has taught them that only and heating medicines, joined with strong opiates or sleepy drugs, repeated doses of which flatter and deceive the patient for the present by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opi- ates and balsamics, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder in the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion—in- flame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the qua- lities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dis- lodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, sheaths the acrimonious humours, which irritates the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicines which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of mo- derating for the present, some of its painful ef- fects.
TO PARENTS Who may have Children afflicted with the Hoop- ing Cough,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which Children are liable— The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
DANGEROUS COLD.
David Gilbert, Toyman, No. 46, South Fourth Street, Philadelphia, voluntarily mak- eth oath, as follows, namely, That about eight months ago, he caught a severe cold, which resisted every remedy he could think of, and produced the most alarming effects; he could procure no rest for incessant coughings, nor breathe without great pain and difficulty, and was finally so exhausted, as to be scarcely able to walk about, which left his friends little hope of his recovery, though the prescriptions of a respectable physician were constantly at- tended to. In this situation, hearing of the ef- ficacy of Hamilton's Elixir , a bottle was proc- ured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street; the first dose of which afforded the most surprising relief, and gave him more ease than he had enjoyed during the whole of the above period, and before the contents of one bottle were taken, he was perfectly cured, his strength and appetite recovered, and not a symp- tom of his former distressing complaints re- mained.
The above particulars the said David Gilbert wishes to be made public, as a testimony of his gratitude, and for the benefit of mankind.

Dr. Hamilton's
Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c.
The experience of many ages and the testimony of the ablest medical practitioners from an early period to the present time, agree in as- cribing to Mustard very powerful and singular virtues; in every case where the necessity of stimulating remedies are indicated, while the inflammatory state of the system forbid the use of medicines of a heating quality; Mustard is eminently useful, and vastly superior to any other drug.
The Essence and extract of Mustard, contain the whole virtues of the plant concentrated in a small compass, entirely divested of that acrim- ony, which renders its external application so in- convenient in a crude state, likewise rejecting those inert and useless parts which compose the chief of its bulk, and renders the necessary dose so large as to be extremely nauseating to the stomach, by which means every inconvenience is obviated in these medicines.
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted both for external and internal use.
The Pills operate mildly by urine and by in- sensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humours; they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove flying pains, an' cold or windy com- plaints in the stomach and bowels.
The Essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago and Pal- sy; and by its peculiar penetrating and dis- persing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. Swelled faces, head-ache, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
Many persons have been much disappointed by purchasing medicines under the name of Es- sence of Mustard, which bear no analogy what- ever to this remedy. Some of these prepara- tions are perfectly inert, others produce the most violent and dangerous effects, and are much to be guarded against.
A great number of well authenticated cases of cure, from almost every part of the union, might here be cited, did the limits of even this long ad- vertisement permit. The following must serve by way of specimen.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadel- phia, voluntary maketh oath, as follows: nam- ely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with violent rheumatism, very danger- ously situated, the consequence of a cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melan- choly apprehension of remaining a cripple for life; notwithstanding the most respectable me- dical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: When seeing several cases of cure performed by Hamilton's Essence and Ex- tract of Mustard , they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first ap- plication enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.
JOHN HOOVER.
Sworn and subscribed the 25th day of March, 1800, before Ebenezer Ferguson, Esquire, one of the Justices of the Peace for Philadelphia county.
Mr. HENRY REESE, Butcher. Proprietor of No. 24, Centre Market-house, Baltimore.
Sir, About two months ago, your medicine pro- ved of singular service to me. I was not able to move from my room for upwards of a fortnight with the rheumatism or Rheumatic Gout in my left foot and ankle, when Dr. Buchanan recom- mended the Essence of Mustard, as the only me- dicine to be depended on, and directed me where to procure it; and by using, less than a quarter of a bottle and a few of the pills, I was able to ride to market next day, and have been perfectly free from any complaint ever since.
Jan. 4, 1800. Henry Rees. Mrs. MARY MCCRAE, wife of George McCrae, grocer, Bond Street, Fell's Point, was perfectly cured (by persevering in the use of Hamilton's Essence and extract of mustard ) of a rheumatic complaint of eleven years standing. The greatest part of last winter she was unable to dress or undress without assistance; she had the best medical advice both in Europe and America without effect.
Dr. Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the va- rious complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in cli- mates unfavorable to the constitution; the im- moderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance; the un- natural or excessive use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lying in, &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experi- ence to be absolutely unparallelled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Melancholy, Consumptions, Gout in the stomach, Lowness of spirits, Pains in the limbs, Loss of appetite, Relaxations, Impurity of the blood, Involuntary emissions, Hysterical affections, Seminal weaknesses, Inward weaknesses, Obstinate gl. cts., Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Impotency, Indigestion, Barrenness, &c.
This medicine is perfectly different in its qua- lities and operation from those hot and irritating drugs so frequently prescribed for similar pur- poses, and which only recommend themselves by the dangerous rapidity of their effects, and which, acting as a temporary but violent stimulus on the nervous system, infallibly produce greater evils than those they are intended to remove.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers, and sending from that organ new health, and vigour in every part of the system. It enriches and purifies the blood without inflaming it; braces, without stimulating too violently the nervous sys- tem; strengthens the secretary vessels and the ge- neral habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that nutrition which inordinate evacuations have de- stroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
The Restorative is absolutely above all recom- mendation, in removing those weaknesses and in- firmities with which many females are afflicted, the consequences of difficult and painful labours, or of injudicious treatment therein.
The most obstinate seminal gleet; and the most distressing cases of flour albus in females, fall par- ticularly under the province of this restorative; speedily yielding to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humours, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, and strengthening the weakened organs.
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence
and obstinacy of disease has brought on a genera- impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has per- formed the most astonishing cures.
The Grand Restorative is prepared in pills as well as in a fluid form, which affords considerably in producing a gradual and lasting effect. Their virtues remain unimpaired for years in any cli- mate.

The genuine Persian Lotion,
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent mineral, (the basis of other lotions) and of unparallelled effec- cy in preventing and removing cutaneous blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly freck- les, pimples, pits after small pox, inflammatory red- ness, furuncles, tetter, ring-worms, sun-burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural insensible perspiration, which is essential to health. vet its effects are speedy and permanent rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complex- ion and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
The Damask Lip Salve,
Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chapped and sore lips and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful ro- sy color and delicate softness to the lips.
Restorative Powder for the Teeth & Gums.
This excellent preparation comforts and strength- ens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that ac- rimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accum- ulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Dr. Hahn's Anti-Bilious Pills,
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to 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 perspira- tion, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences: A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are cele- brated for removing habitual costiveness, sicknes at the stomach and severe head-ache, and to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully pre- served for use by every seaman.
The Anodyne Elixir,
For the cure of every kind of Head Ache.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if the patient is not relieved, it never having failed in many thousand cases, not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle and numbers not half a bottle.
Tooth Ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives im- mediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch.
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one ap- plication, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the exhibition of other remedies.
For the Cure of
VENEREAL COMPLAINTS, The Patent Indian Vegetable Specific, Prepared by Dr. Leroux.
The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great proportion of them, after the skill of eminent physicians had proved ineff- ectual) demonstrates its efficacy in expelling the Ve- neral poison, however deeply rooted in the constitu- tion, and in countering those dreadful effects which often result from the improper use of mercury.
The millions of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy, its operation is so gentle that it is given to Venereal patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system or producing any of those disagreeable effects inseparable from the common remedies.
With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the dis- ease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible.

WHEREAS
By a decree of the High Court of Chancery, made in a cause, James against NEWMAN, it is among other things referred to Wm. Graves Esq. one of the masters of the said court, "to take an account of the Legacies bequeathed by the will of the testator, WILLIAM PHILLIPS, late of Newgate Street, London, deceased, and also to in- quire and state to the court whether Francis James, the brother of the complainant's named as one of the Legatees in the said will is dead, and whether he died in the life time of the testator."
