This Day Published, By J. ORR, No. 41, Chestnut Street, (Price 25 Cents) THE Death of General Washington. A POEM. In imitation of the manner of Ossian. By Rev. JOHN B. LINN, A. M. Minister of the First Presbyterian Congregation Philadelphia. Mr. Chaudron's Oration will be published on Monday morning. March 15. Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States particularly in Baltimore, Peterburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight. Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck. Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousands cases not one in a hundred has bad occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed. SOLD BY Wm. Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where also may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c.

NEW-YORK, October 15.
To the Editor of the SUN, a paper printed at Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
SIR, As the Mission of Governor JAY to Great Britain has been made the source of much calumny and misrepresentation, you are requested to publish the enclosed letter, that your readers may see how grossly the expenses of that Mission have been exaggerated, and how unwarrantedly the envoy himself has been, and continues to be, slandered.
A Friend to Truth.
October 1st, 1800. Dear Sir, MR. BEERS, in compliance with your request has delivered to me an extract from the Albany Register, of the 15th of last month, which contains the following erroneous statement of the expenses incurred by the United States, for negotiating the Treaty with Great Britain:
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Items include: Mr. Jay, for his outfit to make Dols. 18,000 00; For his passage to Europe, 3,708 52; To pay incidental expenses, 10,000 00; To do, in negotiating the treaty, 5,000 00; To get papers of Captures, 16,012 83.
This statement is not a new one, it appeared in Greenleaf's paper in March '97. It is calculated, and was doubtless designed, to impress an opinion that the administration of President Washington, was too prodigal of the public money, in the negotiation with Great Britain, and that I derived extravagant emoluments from it.
Calumny, my dear Sir, has been an engine of party, in all countries, and particularly in Elective Governments. It is an evil which, originating in the corruption of human nature, is without remedy, and consequently is to be borne patiently. The esteem of the wise and good is valuable, and to acquire and preserve it, is all that ambition ought to aim at.
As to the statement in question, you are desirous to know exactly how far it deviates from the truth; and to gratify this desire, I will give you a concise and accurate state of the facts.
Being at Philadelphia on official business, in May, 1794, President Washington desired me to go as Envoy to Great Britain. I earnestly endeavoured to fix his attention elsewhere; but he persevered, and I found it impossible to reconcile it with my duty to persist in declining the appointment. Circumstances as I was, and aware of the nature of the business, of the temper of the times, and of the union of certain interests against any amicable settlement with Great Britain, personal considerations opposed my undertaking the task. When I finally yielded to the President's request, I told him, that I declined any compensation for my services—that my necessary and actual expenses only should be paid, but that my stated salary as Chief Justice must be continued.
A vessel in ballast was chartered to carry me to England, for you will recollect that an Embargo was then in operation, but in contracting or paying for this vessel I had no agency.
The Secretary of State gave me a Bill for 18,000 dollars towards the expenses of the mission, and for which, I was to account.
All my expenses of every kind as Envoy to Great Britain, including the salary of my Secretary, the expense of my passage home, and sixty-three pounds sterling paid in counsel fees, respecting capture-cases, amounted to the sum of 12,000 dollars and 36 cents, which being deducted from the before-mentioned 18,000 dollars, left in my hands a considerable balance due to the United States. This balance I accounted for and settled with the Treasury in the following manner, viz.
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Items include: By cash advanced to an American gentleman in the service of the United States, and whose account with the public was charged with it by the Treasury, 233 33; By amount of my order on the Banker, in favor of Mr. Pinckney who was the American Minister at London, towards a fund for expenses respecting capture cases to be accounted for by him to the Treasury, 5,870 22; By cash paid by me to the treasury, 495 9; My expenses, 5,999 64; 12,000 36.
These facts are verified by the Treasury Report, of the account between the United States and me, marked No. 7373, by the Auditor's Report, marked No. 3330, on which is indorsed the Comptroller's certificate, and by the Register's certificate of the final settlement of the account.
With sentiments of esteem and regard, I am, &c. JOHN JAY.

Vermont—There has not been a choice of Federal Representative; in the district of Vermont, now represented by the Hon. L. R. Morris, Esq. The candidates are nearly a dozen in number. The chief objection in Mr. Morris is his having been second in the Champlin and Bayard duel. A federal editor concludes some remarks on the subject, by saying:—“The real federalist of Vermont is a Christi n—a moral man—friend to man, to our constitution, to the
to the government, and to the law (among all others) which forbids dueling.” Should Gen. Morris fail of a re-election, we are confident a Federal man will be chosen.

The following inimicable Portrait of that great and good man whose loss our country still deplores, is drawn by a celebrated European, who knew our famed Countryman only by his sublime virtues and glorious deeds. [Bost. Cent.]
From the British Mercury By Mallet Du Pan.
In the same month (December 1799) and nearly of the same age, died three men very unlike in talents, character, public qualities, and reputation; but who in their dissimilar career, have excited the admiration or engaged the attention of Europe. Two of them were victims of the French Revolution; and the third would also have fallen a sacrifice to it, had not his profound wisdom, the energy of the rational part of his countrymen, and local causes, supported him against the intrigues, libels, and machinations of the Republic of Paris.
These words will immediately present to the reader's mind the name of Gen. Washington. On the 15th December the United States of America lost this great and virtuous Citizen, who died in the 68th year of his age at his house in Virginia, in consequence of a sudden disorder, which carried him off in twenty-four hours.
What rank will history assign to this character among the cotemporaries whose names have borne the greatest lustre? It may be made a question whether Washington, as a General and Statesman, equalled in genius Prince Eugene, Frederick II or Ghat-khan? But how is it possible with propriety to compare men who are placed in situations no wise analogous?
Were we allowed to venture an opinion on this subject we would observe, that if Washington was inferior to some other illustrious men in extent and boldness of mind, he surpassed them by the union of qualities and talents the most rarely found together, and by a character almost faultless.
Constitution, foul, and intellect, were in him inconstant harmony, and perfectly adapted to his public career. It might be said that Providence had created him for the part he has sustained, for the people he governed, and for the circumstances in which his country stood. At Athens, his lot would have been that of Aristides or Phocion; in a Republic well constituted and long established, his services would not have been called forth; in a corrupt republic he would have chosen private station as the goth of honour.
In his military and political life, wisdom was the prominent feature of his character. It is given to few men to possess that admirable moral temperature which marked all the actions of Washington. His courage and his talents for war would have been insufficient, and perhaps hurtful, without the patience, coolness, and equality of spirits which he displayed in bad as well as good fortune.
At the head of the Republic, he preserved the same uprightness and the same spirit of conduct by which he had been guided in battle. He was indebted to the excellence of his judgment, as well as to the ascendency of his public and private virtues, for the permanence of the reputation he enjoyed. His speeches, letters, actions, were always marked with the same reason, and that strong good sense which is the highest gift of nature to a public man, and his highest merit; that good sense which alone resists the agitations of the foul, and corrects the wanderings of the understanding.
The habitual moderation of Washington, his firmness which was ever calm and well-timed, his prudence, which neither difficulty nor passion, neither hope nor fear, could shake, his superiority to all artifice and intrigue, and his arduous politics, dictated by a just estimation of times, men, and things, have never degenerated for a moment. Placed at the head of an infant Republic, he acquired all the dignity usually bestowed on high offices by the force of custom and of age; and he preserved it as if he had ruled America for a century: his administration was better supported by respect and confidence than by laws or armies.
He has not been charged with a vice or a weakness. No one has raised a doubt of his integrity or his disinterestedness. Free from ambition, he never would have sought superior rank, or have been anxious to make a figure: he was led to them by his services, the general esteem he attracted, and by circumstances. In him superiority was pardoned; the jealousy of his equals vanished before the admirable simplicity of his manners, the purity of his morals, and the rectitude of his conduct—In short neither a vain love of glory, nor the desire of distinction, nor any personal view, ever gave a bias to his patriotism, which was the principle of all his thoughts, and the spring of all his actions.
If the title, so much abused, of a great man, ought to be reserved for one whose success never injured justice or honour, and in whom great virtues united with great talents, who shall refuse it to Washington?
If any thing can add to his glory and desert, it is the insolent temerity of some buffoons of liberty, who, in our days, boast Washington, De Steiguer, and Marmontel.
to have made him their model, and who doubt not they have surpassed him.
Yes, to the disgrace of the age, and of France in particular, we have seen democratic school-boys, Revolutionary abortions, and Hectors of Constitution, compounded of follies, inconsistencies, and the most contemptible weakness, setting themselves up for the rivals of Washington. Even at this moment do we see a swaggerer, known by some fortunate battles, and by invasions effected in four-and-twenty hours, purchased at the price of all that modesty, integrity, humanity, and even policy require to be respected, causing himself to be proclaimed, by newspaper-writers and tub orators a Hero, such as never was before, and never will be again O! miseras hominum mentes! And do these Republican strutters really think that a wry neck is sufficient to dub them Alexanders?
General Washington has carried with him to the tomb the general esteem of Europe. His conduct had compelled even his enemies to respect him. It was reserved for the French Republicans alone to differ from the rest of the world, and to insult, as basely as grossly, the President of the United States. It is true, that he had very wifely foreseen, and so early as the year 1789, the horrible career of a Revolution, which set out with overthrowing all public order, which forming crime into theory made patriotism to consist in assassination: and liberty in the impunity of every outrage against the freedom of the citizens.
The national gratitude at America has honoured the memory of Washington by public testimonies of grief, and by solemnizing the funeral of her illustrious chief in the most distinguished manner.
Washington has quitted life without the slighted diminution of his glory tranquility and happiness. He died on fields cultivated by himself, in the bosom of his country, of his family, of his friends, and the veneration of America accompanied him to the grave.
Such blessings as these have not fallen to the lot of another Republican Magistrate, whose glory, though less brilliant than Washington's, had how ver for some years past engaged the public attention.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.
Two plans of a literary and political nature were announced early last winter, and as they have not been accomplished it is proper to explain the causes of omission. When a writer promises to the public he signs a bond, and for no light cause should violate his stipulation. To acquit himself wholly of the charge of humorous fickleness on the one hand, or of carelessness of obligation, on the other, the Sometime Editor of the Farmer's Museum owes it to himself to quote the following passage from the Gazette of the United States of the 26th of last December and to follow up that quotation by showing, that he has been always ready to fulfil his contract.
"It is understood, if the wealth and the wife will support the Editor in an arduous undertaking, that the Gazette of the United States will shortly be published on an enlarged plan, with many improvements, in the political, and miscellaneous department. It will be devoted to the support of whatsoever things are honest, and of good report; and, if the Editor and his associates faithfully, and correctly discharge their political and literary duties, the support of men of wealth, men of influence and men of virtue will be deserved, though perhaps it may not be received. The increase or decay of the subscription list at the commencement of the new year will determine, whether the Gazette of the United States &c. a paper auxiliary to sound principles,"
By OLIVER OLD-SCHOOL Esqr.
Will be undertaken, or relinquished. We are told that the Sometime Editor of the Farmer's Museum intends, if encouraged, to offer to the public a small periodical pamphlet, as a companion, once a week to the breakfast table. It is intended as a vehicle for moral, and amusing Essays, and elegant literature in general; allusive to a part of its contents, it will be called The Lay Preacher's Magazine. The prospectus will be published in the course of the ensuing month.
The above notice having had sufficient time to circulate, Mr. FENNO, at that time proprietor of the paper, found, on the arrival of the new year, that his subscription list, had not increased. Hence, though a prospectus was drafted, and materials were at hand, all plans of enlargement or improvement were destroyed, and the Editor's engagement was vacated. He was neither benumbed by indolence, nor diverted by caprice, but delayed to write, because few appeared to read.
Of the projected Magazine, the fate was rather more flattering. Two literary merchants of Boston did the Editor the honor to send him their names, and to accompany their subscription with that graceful opportunity so flattering to an author, that he would persevere, in what they were pleased to call "a laudable undertaking." It is obvious that two subscribers would not support even a small pamphlet. Hence, this scheme was also relinquished.
But the spirit of literary adventure is not easily quenched, and to the pursuit of his plans almost every projector, whether sanguine, or cautious, is generally constant. Though neither a Gazette enlarged nor a Magazine intended have been the light, yet the schemer of a politico literary miscellany has been silently pursuing, and perseveringly fostered. In a few days, Mr. ASSURY DICKENS, bookseller of this city, will publish a Prospectus of a new weekly Paper, to be conducted on an extensive and liberal plan, combining, in the manner of the TATLER, Politics, with Essays and disquisitions on topics scientific, moral, humorous and literary. It will appear every Saturday, under the title of "THE PORT FOLIO."
A coat of Tar and Feathers, so famous in the American Revolution, a French invention.
So early as the reign of Charles the 6th of France, co-temporary with Henry the 4th of England, this Fanny dress was known among the French. The King gave a masquerade, in which himself and five Courtiers disguised their persons to imitate fauns, by covering their naked bodies with close linen habits, which were then smeared over with rosin, and stuck all over with small feathers. One of the company in a frolic, touched one of these feathers with a lighted torch as they were dancing in a ring; the consequence was, all the six masks or fauns were involved in flames instantaneously; four of the six died, and the king never recovered from the fright and disorder occasioned by the accident.
If a second revolution should take place in America, I expect we shall borrow from the same fertile source, that other ingenious invention of theirs, called the Guillotine; when perhaps some of those gentry who employed tar and feathers in the glorious '76, may in their turn feel the National Razor to as good effect.
For the Gazette of the UNITED STATES.
EXTRACT From an old manuscript, entitled "A Century of Prophecies," said to have been found many years ago near Wicwacoa.
1799. IN seventeen hundred and ninety-nine The people shall run mad like swine; Treason again shall stalk abroad (a) To brave the laws avenging rod, And while the country's standards rail'd The very Traitors shall be prais'd (b) And o'er a land, once freedom's boast, A Shrew and Sot shall rule the road, (c) Virtue shall seek a dark retreat, Thievish shall sit in judgment seat (d) Merit from office be discarded Felons and traitors be rewarded. (e)
Dimly thro' the bulging tear The Hermit views this closing year, He sees the Genius of the Land Near broad Potomac weeping stand, (f) While against her mournful form Pests pitiless the wintry storm! But ah! what melancholy train Are crossing o'er the snow-clad plain? With sad slow steps they seek the gloom That bends to hide her hero's tomb! The eye that watch'd the public weal, The long deep sleep of death shall seal The arm that fought, her hand to save, Shall nerveless moulder in the Grave.
1800. Slander now shall rear her head (g) To blast the honours of the dead. Now shall treason raise her voice, Now shall faction's sons rejoice. Caitiffs now from foreign climes, Inured to murder, old in crimes, Shall join with Afric's swarthy band To drench in gore the hapless land. Yet all these warnings will be vain, From crimes the people to restrain. The Christian's voice shall scarce be heard, The Atheist be by mob rever'd, And a mad people—fad to tell Be led by Turk, Jew, Infidel! (b)
NOTES. (a) In a prior part of this Century of Prophecies, the old Hermit had certainly alluded to the fever of 1793, and the insurrection of 1794—his lines are these.
"Seventeen hundred and ninety-three Will be a year of misery. Seventeen hundred and ninety-four Will be a year of wild uproar."
He therefore clearly alludes to the Northampton rebellion in this line,
"Treason again shall stalk abroad." (b) The Hermit must here have foreseen the infamous publications in the Aurora, justifying the rebellion.
(c) This line may want explanation from some abler commentator; when an hostler at a Tavern quarrels with the cook-maid, he swears she shall not "rule the road;" when they agree well together, then the other servants say "they do rule the road." I should not therefore have thought that this part of the prophecy alluded to our excellent Governor if it was not for the two following line.
(d) Thievish; this is plural, and I am well informed that Stever is not the only convict who has been commissioned by our excellent ruler.
(e) Stever, Fries and Tench must make comments on this line.
(f) This part of the prophecy evidently alludes to the irreparable loss we sustained in the close of the year 1799. Heaven indulgent to a virtuous country, lent a Washington to protect and save it in the day of danger and calamity; but, more indulgent to the Hero, snatched him from the scenes of horror which vice and infidelity are preparing to act.
1800. (g) Was it possible to add lustre to the character of a Washington, it would be by naming his defamers; those fugitives from justice of their own country, a Jasper Dwight and a Cillender.
(h) When I read this line I began to fear an invasion by Buonaparte, and that the Jacobins would join his standard, as he was a Turk with the Turks, a Jew with the Jews, but in heart an Infidel; but on further consideration, I am inclined to think that three different persons are meant; one certainly is Mahmood the renegade Janizary, who has abandoned his religion and changed his name to Jasper, for the sake of indulging in strong drink and libels. Who is the Infidels and Infidel is yet to be conjectured. It does not appear clear that the Mammoth is the beast meant in the R-evolutions.
Every American will read with pleasure, Mallet du Pan's description, in this paper, of our late beloved chief Washington. In one particular, however, it is not strictly accurate: he observes "he has not been charged with a vice or a weakness." This is a mistake for the Moniteur still lives who called Washington—A MURDERER!!!

Thursday October 16, 1800.
The Honorable Harrison G. Otis and the Honorable Bailey Bartlett, have declined being considered as candidates for Congress at the next election in Massachusetts. J. Codman, Esq. and Judge Everett are proposed in the room of the former, Gentleman and Nahum Mitchell, Esq. in the place of the latter.
The Legislature of Connecticut convened at New-Haven on the 9th inst. Governor TRUMBULL in his Speech to both Houses, observes, that "While convulsions, war and revolutions still prevail in Europe, which threaten further derangement of their ancient systems of civil government, and political establishments, and when internal agitations are appearing within the United States, which may endanger our national quiet, harmony and order;—I know no better course for this state to pursue, than to adhere steadily to her long tried stability of religious, moral and political virtues, and to attend cautiously to her ancient habits of internal order; to her quiet submission to established regulations, and tranquil observance of her present institutions of moral and civil administration. In this course she may best subserve the general interests of the Union, contribute to her own peace, happiness and tranquility; & continue to her self that reputation for political wisdom and prudence she has hitherto so honourably obtained among her sister states.—For although useful discoveries and instructive informations are not to be rejected without consideration, yet the hasty adoption and pursuit of every novel idea of improvement, which may be dropped from the mouths or the pens of ardent politicians, or fanciful modern Philosophers is certainly tending to the other extreme. The true point of wisdom will lead us to examine with minute caution, and adopt with critical discrimination any projected innovations in our established forms and regulations. At all times this idea is important, but more especially will it be found to be usefully practiced in times of political turbulence and agitation. Turbulence and faction will arise, and are the bane of all free governments. They form, perhaps, that bitter ingredient which is calculated in Providence, to dash with alloy, that great source of human felicity; and thereby to prevent its proving still more pernicious, by intoxicating our faculties, and corrupting our hearts—Hence vigilance and energy are urged on the virtuous and the good. And
I confidently trust, that whenever danger to us shall become imminent, Providence will rouse that vigilance, energy and talent among the virtuous supporters of our free and happy Governments which will be necessary for the occasion;—such as will be suitable to the accomplishment of the Divine purpose, and the establishment of our national happiness and political prosperity. To this end, may wisdom and prudence be the stability of our times!—Under the influence of these virtues, and practicing our duty agreeably to their dictates, altho' in the midst of political troubles, we may safely rely on an all wise and powerful Providence for its direction and assistance. Our Fathers thus trusted in God; and often in their times of distress, did they experience Divine interposition. Like them trusting and acting we may confidently hope, that like them we may be brought out of our troubles by a way which our wisdom had not known, and may be led in paths which our prudence had not discovered; whence light may arise out of darkness, and crooked things may be made straight."
