Genuine Patent and Family Medicines,
Celebrated for the cure of most diseases to which the human frame is liable. Prepared by T. W. DYOTT, M. D. THE CELEBRATED Stomachic Elixir of Health. (Price one dollar and Fifty Cents.) Which has proved by thousands, who have experienced its beneficial effects, to be the most valuable medicine ever offered to the publick, for speedy relieving and curing the cramp, pains, and wind in the stomach and bowels, carrying off superfluous bile; removing habitual costiveness; tickles at the stomach, severe head ache, &c. For the dysentery or lax, cholera morbus, severe gripings, and other diseases of the bowels, and the summer bowel complaint in children, it has proved a certain remedy, and restored to perfect health from the greatest debility. Persons afflicted with pulmonary complaints, or disorders of the breast and lungs, even in the most advanced state, will find immediate relief. Common coughs and colds, which are generally occasioned by obstructed perspiration, will be found to yield to its benign influence in a few hours. In asthmatic or consumptive complaints, hoarseness, wheezings, shortness of breath, and the hooping cough, it will give immediate relief.
Patent Stomachic Wine Bitters.
(Price One Dollar.) These celebrated and well known Bitters are composed purely of vegetables of the most innocent yet specific virtues, and are particularly recommended for restoring weak constitutions, cleaning and strengthening the stomach, and increasing the appetite; they expel worms in all ages, but from their simplicity and safety, are a most natural and effectual vermifuge, when administered to children; they are gratefully warm, and pungently aromatic; they are extremely serviceable in all seasons, but particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bilious habits experience such total loss of appetite; they are also a certain preventative against those complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent fevers and agues, long autumnal fevers, dysenteries, &c.
DR. ROBERTSON'S Vegetable Nervous Cordial,
OR, Nature's Grand Restorative, Is confidently recommended as the most efficacious medicine, for the speedy relief and cure of all nervous complaints, impurities of the blood, seminal weakness, and various complaints, resulting from diffipated pleasures, residence in warm climates, the immoderate use of tea, the unskilful or excessive use of mercury, and diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life.
DR. ROBERTSON'S Celebrated Gout & Rheumatic Drops.
A safe and effectual cure for the gout, rheumatism, lumbago, stone and gravel, swellings and weakness of the joints, sprains, bruises, and all kinds of green wounds; the cramp, pains in the head, face and body, stiffness of the neck, chilblains, frozen limbs, &c.
Since the above invaluable medicines were first discovered by Dr. Robertson, upwards of Seven Hundred Thousand Persons have experienced their happy and salutary effects, many of whom from the greatest debility. These Medicines, which by being timely administered, will prevent the progress of many fatal diseases.
The Proprietor wishes to afford every information relative to the efficacy of the above Medicines in a small compass, by exhibiting a list of exemplary cures, attested by respectable characters, for the satisfaction and encouragement of the affected;—for which purpose such cures have been selected at different times and been inserted; as might display the alternative power of phyfick. But as the number of cases are now become so numerous, I am obliged, instead of identifying the particulars, only to print an abstract of several testimonials, referring the reader to peruse the pamphlet, left at the Book-Store of Messrs. BONSAL, CONRAD, & Co. Norfolk. June 5.

A few Copies of LETTERS,
Under the signature of a FARMER, Comprehending an examination of the conduct of our Ex- ecutive, towards France and Great-Britain, out of which the present state of the nation, originally published in the North American.
From the Editor's Preface.
Great public exigencies, in free governments, have al- ways called forth great virtue and talents. Thus the passing occurrences of the day prove, that the lapse of twenty-five years has not turned our nation aside from that salutary vigi- lance of their rulers and jealousy of their rights, without which our government could not have been established nor continued.
Should we survive the fraud, prejudice and power, which have conspired for our ruin, we shall look back more to the time of Washington than to the present, and the earnest devotion of the party, then to native good sense and unalterable faithfulness to liberty in the body of the people. We have herein written proof, that the American nation is as conspi- cuous for its intelligence, as for its civil system, and its un- parallelled attachment to constitutional freedom. The late attempts upon both, have electrified the whole country. The aged are re-born, the timid, the wavering, and the dallying, have all been brought into the ranks of their brethren, which is determined to save the country. By every effort we shall be saved.
Among the past which have powerfully contributed to this conservative shape, is the able and ingenious author of the subjoined letters. His fascinating candour and vigorous argument, have exposed all the sophistry and pretentious fallacies, which the hand of power has contrived in order to usurp and to endanger. These explanations of our public affairs, in a controversy which has involved the life and death of our constitutional system, will be found most interesting. The candid will see that it is a most interesting, than the dignity of the nation is restored, and its capacity restored. June 7.
THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1809.
The Haytian brig Victor , whose arrival was noticed in our last, has been, we understand, seized by the Custom-House as a French vessel, whose en- try is forbidden by law. This case will present an important question upon the independence of the is- land of Hayti. It is certainly true that in obedience to the views of the late administration, and compli- ance with the wishes of the Grand Emperor, our laws have said that St. Domingo is not independent; how far policy may direct us to refuse to acknowledge the independence of that colony, we undertake not to say, but the consequence of the condemnation of this vessel, as a French vessel, will most probably bring a piratical war upon our commerce.
DIED —On Wednesday Evening, Mrs. FRANCES THOMAS , of this place, at the advanced age of Se- venty Seven years.
[The following eloquent address to the citizens of the United States, is extracted from an essay in the Providence (R. I.) Gazette, under the signature of "Dion." To all Americans who possess pa- triottism and sensibility, it will recommend itself. "To what but a mysterious and unjust foreign in- fluence can you attribute the connection which your government has endeavoured to form with France? Is it required by justice? Justice to Napoleon! Pro- fane not the sacred name of justice by the idea.— There is justice in Heaven. Beware, lest it descend in unerring bolts upon the guilty nation which imp- iously assists the destroyer of mankind.
"Will you say that an alliance with Napoleon will produce some important and lasting advantages to this nation? Deluded men! Cast your thoughts a- cross the wide Atlantick, and traverse in idea the continent of Europe. Who is she, that in the glo- my mantle of woe, advances towards you with a mournful pace, and fixes on you a hopeless eye of misery? Her name is Switzerland —Once, with ex- ultation, she bound the cap of liberty upon her brows, and looked abroad with a countenance that diffused the joys of independence. Profusion every where met her footsteps, and the blessing of heaven's peace encircled and protected her. Now how her face is darkened with sorrow, and her tears fall cold upon her bosom. She leads you to Mount Blanc's arid top, and looks upon the scenes below; they are gloomy and desolate. She directs your view to her lakes; they are tinged with red. She points to her vales; they are flooded with the blood of her sons. Do you ask, what fell destroyer has produced this scene of horror? Her eye is fixed upon Napoleon, while with an impressive voice, she warns you to beware!
"Who is this that rises from the sea with a vacant and unmeaning countenance, and casts about her a look of unmeaning despair? It is Holland . When dawn and dispirited by the galling chains of her op- pressors, the flush of sensibility has left her cheek, and she has forgotten to feel. Her freedom was procured by a struggle of thirty years, and during the revolution of nearly two hundred summers she preserved it with enthusiastick love. Her cities raised their lofty spires from the midst of the ocean, and echoed with the sounds of industry; while the wealth of distant nations floated upon the bosom of her seas.
"But she joined her hand to the proffered hand of a dissembling tyrant, and that moment was a slave. Do you demand who has impoverished her cities, plundered her fields, dishonoured her matrons, and drawn forth her youth to ambitious wars, from which there is no return? The question has roused her from insensibility. She points to Napoleon, and wildly calls to you, beware!
"Who is it that advances with troubled and unequal steps, her hair scattered by the wind, and her eye shooting the horrors of remorse? It is Prussia . Actuated by hopes of reward, and fearing the ty- rant's power, she yielded him a guilty assistance. Her sufferings now requite her baseness, and prove to the world that there is no faith among the unjust. Let the miseries she endures from her oppressor, and from the stings of conscience, solemnly warn you to beware!
"Who is she that stands with an air of intrepidity, in one hand brandishing a spear, in the other wav- ing a banner? On her head is the helmet of war, and lightning in her eyes? It is Spain . In a mo- ment of peace, while reposing in confidence upon the security of an alliance, she has discovered, in her pretended friend, her betrayer. As one stung by an unheeded serpent, she has started with indignation at the insult, and thrown resistance into her sinews. Blood flows around her, and she sees her cities sacked by a merciless soldiery. She points to the bodies of her heroes that strew her plains, and commands you to beware!
"Beyond, is Italy , mourning over the sad relicts of her ancient glory. Her ravaged plains that once bloomed in the luxuriant pride of spontaneous pro- fusion, her prostrate columns, her smoking temples, and her blood-stained bridges, are constantly warn- ing you to beware of Napoleon.
"My countrymen, whoever and wherever you are that have viewed with indifference the measures of your government, and have suffered yourselves to be carried whithersoever they would lead you, let the hints I have here offered, rouse to reflection. From the dark circle of collected dangers that surround her sacred head, is heard THE VOICE OF YOUR COUNTRY. She tells you that the united strength of her sons alone can rescue her; and she solemnly bids you remember that the man who neglects to ex- ert himself for the rescue of his country from des- truction, differs in no degree of guilt from him who fixes a dagger in her heart!"
In the case of the indictments found for breaches of the embargo law, the Chief Justice did not deli- ver a written opinion . The following are the terms, in which the judgment of the court is entered up: (Enquirer.)
UNITED STATES,  Upon an indictment for a vs.  violation of the Embargo WILLIAM SMITH,  law.
This day came as well the Attorney, for the Uni- ted States, for the Virginia District, as the defend- ant, by his attorney, and thereupon, the defendant, by his attorney, moved the court to quash the said indictment, whereupon the said motion being fully argued, and by the court maturely considered; the court, without deciding the question whether an in- dictment can be supported in this court, on common law principles, is of opinion the offence charged in the indictment, being a new offence, created by sta- tute, and a penalty being prescribed for the commission of that act, the penalty alone is recoverable, and the act is not indictable: Therefore, the court are of opinion, that the said indictment ought to be quashed, and it is hereby quashed. June 1st, 1809.

From the North American. TO THE PUBLICK.
We are informed by the newspapers, that the president of the United States in the case of Mich- Bright and others, has remitted in special form both species of penalty (fine and imprisonment) conside- ring the law as satisfied, as far as relates to those ci- tizens who acted under the erroneous orders of go- vernour Snyder: so far so good: provided an ex- emplary punishment can with propriety be inflicted on the governor. That the governor deserves to be punished in an exemplary manner, no man whose judgment is not clouded by ignorance, or warped by passion will deny: but it will be difficult (we believe to shew) any legal or constitutional mode by which that desideratum can be obtained: an attempt so to do, would instantaneously be productive of a scene of confusion. The remedy would be as bad, if not infinitely worse than the disease. As much as we detest the conduct of governor Snyder quoad hoc , were we citizens of Pennsylvania, we would for rea- sons to our understandings unanswerable, resist (to- tis viribus) any attempt which could be made by the general government to punish the governor of a state in such a case as the one which lately took place in the city of Philadelphia; but were we mem- bers of a desperate faction, whose first wish would be a dissolution of the union, we should rejoice and be exceedingly glad at the happening of a proceeding, which we verily believe to be better calculated to destroy the union, than any which its bitterest ene- mies in the exercise of their malignancy, could possi- bly have devised. In truth the conduct of Bright and others, ought either to have passed by unnoticed in a court of justice, or sentence of the court ought to have been suffered to have its full effect. —If it has passed without a trial, a doubt would have remained in the minds of such, whose prime wish is to introduce confusion, whether in a like case the ac- tual perpetrators of the offence would not be severe- ly punished by government; but as a full pardon has been granted to Bright and others, it is not, we ask, is it not fairly presumable, that the pardon so granted will be considered and operate as an encou- ragement to the commission of like outrages? Mo- bilitate viget, viresque acquirit eundo; and such a presumption seems unfortunately to be a warranta- ble one, if the statement is correct, that when Bright and others were released they "were escort- ed from the jail by a very large concourse of citi- zens and several bodies of troops"—and why (pray) were Bright and others so escorted? and who were the choice spirits who delighted so to honour Bright and others?
We are serious even to sadness, because in our course of thought, a more dangerous wound could not have been given to the peace, happiness and safe- ty of our beloved country. We lament that our ex- ecutive interposed to prevent the judgment of the court from being carried into full effect. We admit that vindictive justice is fit only for the devil, but we contend, that exemplary punishments are inde- spensably necessary; we are convinced that without them, your political establishments may be aptly compared to so many ropes of sand, possessing no cohesive faculty, and must hasten to decay and dis-  FRESH LEMONS.  30 boxes fresh LEMONS in prime order, for sale by MARTIN FISK.

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1809.
A British vessel the Princess Mary has arrived at Charleston from Liverpool, and has been seized by the United States brig Hornet under the Non-Inter-course act. Forty sail of Prussian vessels arrived at Liverpool in the last week of March, with cargoes, and will return with salt under licenses. So much for Napoleon's anti-commercial decrees. As the Irishman said, he can no more stop commerce, than he can keep the tide out with a pitch-fork.
SPORTS OF THE TURF.
A Match Race is to be run on the 13th of September next, over the new course for Two Thousand Dollars, between the celebrated horse WRANGLER, and Mr. Boush's horse SIR SOLOMON. It is probable that there will be as much money betted on this race, as was ever bet on any one in Virginia. Wrangler has acquired a high reputation, and will be the favourite with the sportsmen in the upper country, while Sir Solomon will be backed largely by those in this part of the country.
THE LATE DUEL.
From the New York Evening Post. Some time since there appeared in most of the newspapers a particular account of a duel between sir George Macklin and a French officer, which it is said took place near Philadelphia. After a little time there came out a contradiction of it, with some reflections on sir George for permitting such a report to go abroad without explanation. The following note on the subject from a gentleman of my acquaintance in this city, is therefore published just as I received it, together with an extract from the note of sir George.
Wednesday Morning, May 29.
MR. COLEMAN. Dear Sir—I saw sir George Macklin here last week on his way to judge Colden's, Coldenham. He was suffering under his wound; rested here a day or two, and then went by water to Newburg. I informed him that there was a report in circulation contradicting the story of his duel. He then gave me the particulars of the quarrel, but said he wished for special reasons, that the second report might have some circulation.
Yesterday I received a note from him which I enclose to you, and pray you will use that and this according to your discretion.
This had reference to his mother in England. Coldenham, May 28, 1809.
DEAR SIR, I arrived here this morning, and feel infinitely worse than I expected. The travelling has increased the inflammation of my wound to a very high degree; however in a few weeks I expect to be again restored to perfect health.
I have seen in the New York Gazette a note saying, the duel between sir George M. and the French officer was void of truth, which has given my friends very serious uneasiness; in consequence of which I must trespass on your good nature, in requesting you to call on the editor of that paper, and relate to him my present situation, and urge him to do away those insertions in his next paper.
Yours truly,
GEORGE MACKLIN.
To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser. New York, June 1.
SIR, It is not without the utmost surprise I see a paragraph in your paper of to day, representing the duel between sir George Macklin, and capt. Fauche, as a fabrication. I was on the ground when this affair took place, and immediately attended sir George to the neighbourhood of Philadelphia; as soon as his wound could bear it, I attended him to this city, where in the City Hotel, Broadway, he remained for two days. He has been removed to judge Colden's of Coldenham, Orange county; where I understand he is very ill. Another misrepresentation you will please to correct in justice to sir George. It has been represented, that the name of a gentleman of Philadelphia has been forged to give weight to the fact. It happens, however, that the friend of sir George Macklin is not even an inhabitant of that city.
It is the privacy of the fact alone, that has given suspicion to this affair.
During my residence here, which will be short, I will give every satisfaction to those who doubt the veracity of the first communication to the United States Gazette.
I am with respect, Your most obedient, HENRY THOMPSON.
The following is from the United States Gazette. In reply to Mr. Henry Thompson, I have to remark that Mr. Oakley was said, in the original publication, to have been the friend of Mr. Macklin upon the ground, and that after he received the wound, "Mr. O. and sir George's servant supported him to his carriage, and he returned to town." Mr. Thompson now says that he attended sir George to the neighbourhood of Philadelphia.
As to the second charge of misrepresentation relative to the same of a gentleman being forged, I did not say that he was an inhabitant of Philadelphia. To show that what I said was not a misrepresentation, I subjoin the letter itself, and repeat that it is a forgery, and was never written by the gentleman whose name is subscribed to it.
Philadelphia, May 17th, 1809.
SIR, Enclosed you have a hasty detail of a duel that took place this morning. At any future period I have no objections to give you the full name of capt. F. but as the health of my friend is precarious and the ball as not yet extracted, it is his wish to have his antagonist's name concealed—My leaving Philadelphia this morning prevents my personally requesting you to publish the enclosed circumstances to prevent those mistakes that usually happen in such cases.
Embarrassed as I must be, you will excuse this hasty scrawl, and I will expect to see you compliment such sterling integrity, as displayed by my friend.
It is not my wish Sir, that my name should appear in this affair, for various reasons; my initials as you observe by the inclosed, is all that I wish published; you will oblige me by destroying this slip when you have sufficiently satisfied yourself with its contents.
I am, Sir, with the utmost respect, Your obedient humble servant, C. W. OAKLEY.
Superscribed—"E. Bronson, Esq. U. S. Gazette Office. Philadelphia." The original may be seen at the office of the Gazette.
I have it from the best authority that Mr. Oakley, whose name has been thus dishonourably used, has
no knowledge of the existence of such a duel; much less did he act as a friend of Sir George on the occasion, or make the communication ascribed to him.
If I mistake not, the publick will still think it incumbent on Sir George and his friends to give some more satisfactory explanation of the affair.
[Editor U. States Gazette.]
It is presumed that the expression in the note sent to Mr. Coleman, by a gentleman of New-York relative to Sir George's wish that "the second report might have some circulation" refers to a communication sent to me on the day after the account of the duel was published stating that Sir George's wound was much less severe than was at first apprehended, though several unsuccessful attempts had been made to extract the ball, and that he was preparing to set off for the seat of his friend judge Colden, in the state of New-York. This communication also purported to be from Mr. Oakley; but suspecting its genuineness, I suppressed it.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 6.
FRANCIS MALBOKE, esq. senator from Rhode-Island, suddenly dropped down dead, on Sunday morning last, on his way to divine service, at the foot of Capitol Hill. It may be some consolation for his weeping family to learn, that all Washington has participated in their sympathies, and their tears on this occasion. The Senate have duly honoured his memory. He was yesterday interred, notwithstanding the pouring of the rain, with legislative and national distinction.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of high respectability to a member of Congress, dated St. Louis (L. T.) May 10th, 1809.
The tranquillity of the people in this territory has of late been disturbed from a fear of Indian hostilities. Fort Madison, on the Mississippi and in the Indian country, were threatened to be attacked. Two companies of militia marched to reinforce it, and three more of volunteers have made this place their head quarters for several days past, waiting marching orders. The general court opened, and adjourned sine die—no business was done. But the danger is happily over; and the militia are returning—the volunteers have returned, and the people are returning to their habitations and to their senses. The governor deserves credit for his zeal and exertions to defend the country.
The following is an extract of a letter from Christopher Greenup, Esq. late governor of Kentucky, to a gentleman in this city, dated May 23.
I am happy to inform you that by letters lately received from Kaskaskias, we learn that the alarm of the Indian war has subsided.
REPORT.
In obedience to the directions of the act supplementary to the act, entitled "An Act to establish the Treasury Department," the secretary of the treasury respectfully submits the following report.
The nett revenue arising from duties on merchandise and tonnage which accrued during the year 1807, amounted as appeared by the last annual statement, to Dollars. 16,060,000
A correct statement of that revenue for the year 1808 cannot be prepared at this time, but may be estimated, as will appear by the estimate A. to about 10,270,000
The revenue arising from the same sources which accrued during the first quarter of this year did not much exceed one million of dollars; and although considerable importations may be expected from Great-Britain and the West-Indies during the last six months of this year; yet, considering that there will be no arrivals from China and the East-Indies, and the situation of the commercial intercourse of the United States with the rest of the world, it is not probable that the revenue accruing during the year 1809 will exceed that of the year 1808.
The specie in the treasury on the 1st of October, 1808, amounted to 13,846,717 52
And the receipts during the last three months of that year, as appears by the statement (B) to 3,586,616 99
17,433,034 51
The disbursements during the same period have amounted, including 6,105,000 dollars paid in reimbursement of the principal of the publick debt, to 7,491,339 79
Leaving a balance in the treasury, on the 1st January, 1809, of 9,941,694 72
17,433,034 51
and the out standing revenue bonds, amounted, on the 1st January, 1809, to 9,880,000
From which deducting for the expenses of collection and for the drawbacks payable during the year 1809, 3,000,000
Leaves for the probable receipts of the year 1809, exclusively of the inconsiderable sums which may be received on account of the revenue accruing during that year, a sum of 6,880,000
Making together with the balance in the treasury on the first of January 1809, of 9,941,000
16,821,000
An aggregate of 16,821,000 dollars, applicable to the expenditure of this year.
The expenses of the year 1809, are, in conformity with the existing appropriations, estimated at 14,500,000 dollars, consisting of the following items:
Civil list (including the expenses of this session of congress) miscellaneous expenses and foreign intercourse, 1,342,000
Military and Indian departments, viz. Appropriation for the army and Indian departments, 2,769,000
Ditto for fortifications, 473,000
Arms and military stores, 550,000
3,790,000
Naval department, this year's appropriation, 2,915,000
Publick debt (1,547,000 dollars of the appropriation of 8,000,000 of dollars for the year 1809, having been paid in advance in the year 1808, in order to effect the reimbursement of the whole of 8 per cent. stock) 6,453,000
14,500,000
It must however be observed that the estimate of the sums payable in the course of this year on account of drawbacks is conjectural, and that the exportations particularly of colonial produce would, if the restrictions laid by the Continental powers of Europe on neutral commerce were removed, produce a much greater defalcation in the net receipts into the treasury than the sum assumed in the preceding estimate. In order to guard against any inconvenience arising from the contingency, and for the purpose of keeping always a moderate sum in the Treasury, it may be necessary to borrow a sum equal to the amount of the principal debt which will be reimbursed during the year, and which will exceed 3,000,000 of dollars.
By the 16th and 18th sections of the act making further provision for the support of publick credit, and for the redemption of the publick debt, passed on the 3d March, 1795, the commissioners of the sinking fund are authorised from time to time to borrow and the bank of the U. States to lend sums
equal to the reimbursements of the publick debt. But some doubts having arisen whether the powers vested by those two sections are applicable to the new six per cent. stock issued by virtue of the act of February 11, 1807, in exchange of the old six per cent. deferred and 3 per cent. stock, it is desirable that the authority should be expressly extended by law to that case. And no other provision seems necessary for the publick service of this year.
It would be premature to attempt at this time an estimate of the receipts and expenditures of the year, 1810. It is sufficient to observe that although the receipts may exceed those of the present year, it is highly improbable that they should be equal to the expenditures of that year, which, unless the military and naval establishments should be reduced, will amount to sixteen millions of dollars. But it is believed that the revenue will after that year be adequate to the discharge of the annual expenses.
All which is respectfully submitted.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.
The following is extracted from the London Sun of the 4th of April:
"By a gentleman just arrived from Hamburg, we are informed that the American Consul at that city obtained leave for the American ships there to depart in Ballast; and hopes were entertained that they would be permitted to load German goods for the United States."
June 3.
There is no truth in the report of an arrival in the Delaware, from Bordeaux, as stated in the Aurora of this morning. A gentleman passenger in the Active, from St. Bartholomews, says, that he was captured on his passage from Bordeaux, which port he left about the 1st May, at which time there was great rejoicing on accounts of the news of France and Austria having concluded on a strict alliance, the latter power giving two of her principal ports as a security for the faithful performance of the compact. This report, (which we are far from believing) probably gave rise to the paragraph in the Aurora.
The United States sloop of war Wasp, on Sunday last, was struck by lightning. The mainmast was partly shivered to pieces—the greater part of the crew felt the shock, but providentially no lives was lost. She comes up to the city to-day, to be repaired.
Letters from Washington state, that Mr. Jefferson and his popularity are passing fast away. His systems are falling. It is confidently stated that the gun boats will shortly be sold at an immense loss. Both the secretary at war and the navy have strongly advised to the sale. Indeed Eustis stated to the committee that they had better be sold for ten dollars a piece, than be kept on hand sixty days."
New-York, June 3.
Unfortunate affair.—Yesterday afternoon a quarrel arose between capt. John Roach, of the brig Hawke, at the quarantine ground, and his mate.
The following particulars which led to and decided the dispute are obtained from the coroner. When capt. Roach returned on board, he enquired of the mate if he had performed certain duties as directed, in counting some sticks of logwood; the mate replied, that "he had weighed them but had not taken the count," and declared, that he (the captain) had not directed them to be counted. The captain affirmed that he had directed them to be counted, and called the mate a liar! The mate returned—upon which the captain pulled the mate by the nose and called him a man of no spirit! The mate replied, "bring up your pistols," and I will convince you that I am a man of spirit!" The captain immediately brought a pair of pistols out of the cabin, and on presenting one to the mate he said, "There is a loaded pistol for you, mine is not loaded—take your distance!" The mate went forward and said, "captain, are you ready?" The other replied, "fire and be damned." Upon which he did fire, and shot the captain thro' the head.
This explanation is not given for the purpose of exciting prejudice against the unfortunate man, now in the hands of the law; it is merely to prevent any improper construction which might be given to the misstatement of an evening print.
Boston, June 1.
Massachusetts Legislature.
Agreeably to ancient custom, and the constitution of the state, the general court were yesterday assembled, and the two legislative branches organized for the dispatch of publick business.
In the Senate, the officers elected were, the Hon. Harrison Gray Otis, as President, and Nathaniel Coffin, esq. Secretary. The whole number of votes was 38, of which Mr. Otis had 20—and Mr. Coffin 21, and were pronounced to be elected. Mr. Pope, a federal member, elected from Plymouth county, absent by sickness. Mr. Benjamin Homans was the democratic candidate for Secretary.
In the house, the hon. Timothy Bigelow was chosen speaker, and Nicholas Tillinghast, esq. clerk. The whole number of votes was 376, of which Mr. Bigelow had 306 federal votes, and Mr. Tillinghast 269, and were declared to be elected. The following is the statement:
For Speakers.
Mr. Bigelow (federal) 306 Mr. Morton (democratic) 269 Mr. Story, 2
For Clerks.
Mr. Tillinghast (federal) 309 Mr. C. P. Sumner (democratic) 269 Scattering, 5
The two branches were then joined by the executive council, and escorted in procession to the rev. Emerson's meeting house by the Independent Cadets where an animated and highly patriotic discourse was pronounced before them by the rev. Dr. Osgood. At the close of the religious exercise, the procession returned to the state house; the two branches again assembled, and after appointing a committee to count and report the votes for governor and lieut. governor, with a request that they would set in the afternoon. Adjourned until nine o'clock this morning.
The result of our late elections has turned out more favourably than was expected. Massachusetts may now emphatically be said to stand erect, and to rest the arms of her political safety on the firm basis of the people's choice.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall Street.  PROPOSALS For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having in- corporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the li- berty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole pur- pose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal pro- perty from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular sa- tisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this INSTITUTION: and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liber- ality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patron- age of the public. No insured person will be liable to make good the loss- es of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified.—The Company also make good losses on pro- perty burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.    HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or me- tal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceed- ing 10,000 dollars in one risk.  HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not ex- ceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.    Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire. This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an in- crease of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The pre- miums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden build- ings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same build- ing exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required. Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bak- ers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpen- tine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Cooperage, Car- penters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machi- nery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra-hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance. I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the of- fice of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the dis- trict of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and re- port thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just descrip- tion thereof, viz. of what materials each building is construct- ed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how other- wise; where situated; the name of the present occupier; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insu- rance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or per- sons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect. III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be de- clared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to co- ver such property. IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon. V. No Insurance will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid. VI. Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other Insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy: and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have Insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall cease, and be of no effect: and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the pay- ment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained. VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may hap- pen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil com- motion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever. VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Models, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy. X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as par- ticular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required: and shall make oath, whether any and what other Insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circum- stances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or ver- ily believe, that he, she, or they, really and, by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained, by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and until such affidavit and certificate are produced, the loss shall not be payable:—Also, if there appears any fraud, or
false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitu- tion or payment, by virtue of his policy. XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allow- ance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever. XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years after seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Sur- veyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required. Francis Foster, Church-Street, Norfolk. Feb 13.
Boot and Shoe Manufactory.  SAMUEL COLEMAN, Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quan- tity of the best  Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c. that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk. With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Soles and other Leather here—good workmanship —great attention—no disappointments—a regular bred fore- man—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnish- ed and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been rendered here by any person in this way; on these conditions: only he expects custom. He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good flock of KID and MOROCCO; all the materials and workmanship shall be good, or an al- lowance made for that which is not; but the greatly en- creased price of all the materials, and the high price of la- bour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here. He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see. He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gen- tlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of get- ting such as are good, as he has no run work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are cash only.
A LEASE  For the eligible PROPERTY he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half years to run. April 15.

A BARGAIN OFFERED, In a fine and Valuable FARM, in the County of Princess Anne. THE Subscriber is disposed to sell his Plantation called LEVEL GREEN, situated in the county of Princess Anne. It contains about 500 acres; and, as it may be ad- vantageously divided into two or three Farms, the subscri- ber will accommodate a purchaser, in selling either the whole or a part. He will also give a long credit. This tract of Land is certainly the most desirable in the county, lying on the Eastern branch of Elizabeth River, and distant from Norfolk Market only five or six miles by water, and 8 or 9 by land. The soil is excellent, about one half of the tract being cleared land, and fit for immediate culture; the o- ther heavily timbered with Oak, Pine, Ash, and Hickory—It has also the advantage of several good landings—Any one disposed to view the land, and to purchase, may apply, in the absence of the subscriber, to JAMES ROBINSON, or JOHN READ, who reside in the neighbourhood. Tully Robinson. Dec 7.
Portsmouth Sugar-House. The present Proprietors of this establish- ment finding a larger capital necessary to carry it on success- fully than they have it in their power to devote, are dispos- ed to sell it in whole or in part, as shall best please the pur- chaser, and will give a great bargain to any one inclined to buy. The House is competent to the refining of 300 hogsheads raw Sugar a year; the consumption of leaf may be judged of by the result of an accurate inquiry, made with a view to ascertain the fact, that the towns of Richmond, Petersburg, and Fredericksburg alone, all in Virginia, and holding their relations in trade immediately with Norfolk, consume or af- ford vent for an aggregate quantity of at least 900 hogshead Leaf Sugar a year; to say nothing of the consumption of the town of Norfolk itself, inferior to neither of the others, and where too, from its immediate intercourse with the West- Indies, the raw material has always hitherto been plenty and upon terms as cheap, often cheaper than at other ports north of this upon the continent. For further information apply to Campbell & Wheeler. May 3.
