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 a 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 preferred for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eye, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dulness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and soonersilly 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 thousand cases not one in a hundred had had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed. 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. Reforative Drops, Essence and Extract of Mustard, Sovereign Ointment for the itch, Dr. Hahn's infallible German Corn Plaster, Indian Vegetable Specific for the Venereal complaint, Gowland's and Persian Lotion, Restorative Tooth Powder, Damask Lip Salve, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills, &c. &c. apitlf

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, June 20.
LAW INTELLIGENCE.
Price v. Bell.
This was an action on a Policy of Insurance, on the ship South Carolina, and her cargo, at and from London to Charlestown.
The counsel for the Plaintiff observed that the different sentences of condemnation in a French Court of Admiralty proceeded upon ordinances only, and therefore he should put them all out of the question.
Mr. Percival, on the part of the Defendant, contended, that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover on this Insurance, because the vessel on which the policy was effected, had not these papers, which according to the laws which should govern her navigation, were necessary to be on board.
Mr. Adam in his reply, among other things observed, with regard to the precise question how far there was an implied warranty, that a ship should be documented according to the laws of the nation to which she belonged;
Lord Kenyon.—“I am by no means prepared to give any opinion on this case for various reasons. At present, on the first blush of it, it does rather appear to me, this ship had not the papers on board she ought to have had.
Mr. Justice Grose.—“I think it would be the correct way to have it turned into a Special Verdict, for it may very possibly happen, that on a Special Verdict, we may not very much rely on certain circumstances, the want of which may prove fatal on a Special Verdict.
Lord Kenyon.—“That makes no difference. This is a very important point, and I am not sure whether it may not lead to the discussion of all the doctrines that have been laid down respecting sea worthiness.”

PROCLAMATION.
Whereas the burgesses and assistants of the borough of Wilmington have received information of the existence and prevalence of an infectious and contagious disease at the Havanna in the island of Cuba, at Norfolk in Virginia, and in the city of Baltimore and Fell's Point in the State of Maryland; and as an unrestricted intercourse between the aforesaid places and this borough may prove injurious to the health of the citizens and inhabitants thereof—We have therefore, by and with the advice of the health officer of the said borough, thought proper to order and direct, and do hereby order and direct, that no ship or vessel, bound from or that may have touched at the said infected places, or either of them, shall from and after the publication hereof, be brought or approach nearer to the said borough than the mouth of Christiana Creek; And we do forbid any person landing or being put on shore, or any goods or merchandise being landed or unladed from on board such ship or vessel, until the said ship or vessel shall have performed such quarantine, and observed such other cautionary and preventive measures as the said burgesses and assistants with the advice and consent of the health officer shall prescribe and enjoin.
And in the pursuance of the power given us by the health law of this State, we further resolve, That from and after the publication of the proclamation, no person or persons who have been in the city of Baltimore, Fell's Point, or in the town of Norfolk within the space of ten days, shall come by land within the limits of this borough, under the pains and penalties contained in the act of assembly for that purpose made and provided.
Provided, nevertheless, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to extend to the prevention of persons travelling in the public stages or otherwise, from passing through the said borough: Provided also, That they do not alight therefrom, nor remain in the said borough more than half an hour; nor shall any goods, wares or merchandise be brought in, or imported by land from Baltimore and Fell's Point, or Norfolk without a permit first obtained from the burgesses for that purpose.
And all persons offending herein, will be subject to such pains and penalties as are prescribed by law.
In Testimony whereof we have caused the seal of the said Borough to be hereunto affixed, this 26th day of the 8th month, 1800.
Signed by order of the Burgesses and Assistants. JOSEPH BRINGHURST, jun. T. Ck.
CARLISLE, (Penns.) Aug. 20.
On Saturday night last the bridge-house and part of the casting house of Cumberland furnace, the property of Mr. Peter Ege, were consumed by fire. From the manner in which Mr. Ege has lately been abused, and from some expressions of a threatening nature made use of by a person lately employed about the furnace, and who, for his misconduct had been dismissed, it is suspected the buildings were set on fire. The suspected person is taken, and has given security for his appearance at the next court.

For the 24 hours preceding Tuesday morning at sun-rise, there were 33 new cases reported at Fell's Point. There is now 95 sick, exclusive of 7 at the Hospital, and in the same 24 hours there were 13 deaths in Baltimore and its vicinity.  From Raleigh we learn, that Mr. Macon, and Mr. Stanford, are re-elected, in their respective districts, Representatives to Congress.  Important detection.  Information having been received by Robert Wharton, Esq. from Mr. De la Motague of New York, that certain described persons were in Philadelphia who had altered sundry Bank bills, from small to larger amounts; the proper officers were directed to make search for the persons. In a few days by the activity of Mr. Hains, head Constable, with other civil officers, three persons were arrested and lodged in the jail of this city, viz. Rowell Bingham alias, Robert Beerman, Levy Stephens & Ephraim Fitch. On them was found all the plates and apparatus together with an immense number of altered bills, amounting to 1280 dollars on the Manhattan Bank, exclusive of a large amount on the Boston Branch Bank and others.  The original Bills of one dollar were altered to 100; those of 5 to 30 and 50.—The bills in every other respect were perfect, the signature, &c. being genuine. The manner in which they performed the alteration was by extracting with a liquid the original sum and impressing a large amount in its place. The bill, plates, liquid, &c. are all now in possession of the Mayor.  It appears from Ephraim Fitch, who has made a complete confession, that Rowell Bingham, alias Robert Beerman, and Levy Stephens are the Principals in this business, and that he was employed by them, at 25 dollars per month, as journeyman, to do the work, and to have no other emolument or concern whatever in the business.—This man promises important information, provided he is pardoned.  [We return our thanks to the gentleman who so kindly favoured us with the following extract of a letter.]  PEACE  Between RIGAUD and TOUSSAINT.  Two or three days before our departure from the Cape, news had arrived there of peace having taken place between Toussaint Louverture and Rigaud.  Toussaint's forces, under the command of Gen. Dessalines, having captured Arquin, and got possession of Rigaud's portmanteau and papers, by which they became acquainted with his real situation (which he had hitherto found means to keep concealed from them) they determined on pushing forward, with all possible dispatch, to Aux Cayes, before he could receive any supplies of ammunition and provisions, of which his army was much in want.  Rigaud found himself so closely pursued, and perceiving some unfavorable movements in his own army, and fearing they might declare openly against him, determined at last, if possible, to accommodate matters with Toussaint. He accordingly sent a deputation to him, to let him know his intentions: They were well received, but Toussaint, would agree to no other terms than that Rigaud should immediately depart from the Island; which Rigaud was finally forced to consent to. A certain number of days has been allowed him, by Toussaint, to depart with his family and baggage. He has a brig of 22 guns, in the harbour of Aux Cayes, in which he means to embark.  This city or town has sent a deputation of white inhabitants to General Toussaint, to request him to come in person, and take possession of the place, (dreading the arrival of the army without the commander in chief, as they have always been led to suppose that the territory in possession of Rigaud was to be given them as fair plunder).—On the 2d inst. General Moyse commanding at the Cape, received official letters from Gen. Toussaint, informing him of these transactions, and that he, Toussaint, was then on his road to Aux Cayes.  The Augusta brig, the Trombull, and the Herald, sloops of war, are cruising near the Aux Cayes. It is to be hoped that Rigaud will fall in with some one of them.

[The following vile paragraph is copied from the Baltimore American, printed by one Alexander Mar in, a fellow who was compelled to decamp from Boston; but not for saying his prayers, or paying his debts.]  The brilliant successes of the French has confounded the British faction within the United States. They appear disconsolate and their visage expresses the agony of their mind. Thank heaven, they are now placed in that situation, which they have attempted for a few years past to place the republicans. Their cockades appear like the withered leaves in the autumn. A few are displayed in the hats of the superannuated, but they stand only as a monument of their folly. May the successes of Buonaparte continue, till the enemies of the French government are prostrate at their feet, and suppliants for their mercy."  There is a wish expressed by a man, who ably considered, is unworthy notice; but as connected with and being one of the champions of a daring faction, deserves the most serious consideration. This fellow is supported by the same characters who uphold the Aurora, and whose views, sentiments and wishes are in unison, from New-Hampshire to Georgia—from Mr. Jefferson down to a town meeting Secretary. The deadly secret which has remained dormant in their bosoms, has prematurely come to light and unfolds at once their infernal schemes. It will be recollected that the British faction here alluded to, consists of all those citizens of every description, who are determined to support at the risk of life and property the government of the United States, and who have opposed the "haughty pretensions and perfidious schemes of France" and it is the wish of this writer, that these virtuous, free born sons of America, for their patriotic deed may be laid "pr str te at the feet of France, and become humble suppliants for mercy."

Never were more traitorous sentiments uttered or a more daring, insulting and hostile with expressed yet these men tell you they are "friends to the people" but they should add being in slavery to France, for this is declared to be their intention, and they hope Buonaparte's success may continue till all his enemies are reduced to that degrading situation. There is one way, and only one for Americans to prevent their wishes being realized, and that is, by keeping out of office all those characters who, under pretence of being "Friends to the People" are advocating a foreign government, and exultingly proclaim the will at your enemy's victories may not cease till you are "kissed prostrate at his feet and become humble supplicants for mercy."
From the (Boston) Commercial Gazette. THE CHARACTER OF General ALEXANDER HAMILTON Considered and Vindicated. [Continuation.]
IT has been asserted, with as much boldness and effrontery, as if it had the semblance of truth, that General Hamilton is a friend to monarchy, and some have carried this political figure of speech to so ridiculous an extent, as to contend that he aimed to establish royalty in his own person. So long as this absurd calumny was confined to jacobins, it was suffered to pass unnoticed, with the charges of the same nature, exhibited and so often repeated against Washington, Adams, and all the other strenuous supporters of government. But when writers in so respectable a paper as the Commercial Gazette, assume the allegations and calumnies of jacobins, as truths, when they assert as proved, charges which are notoriously false, it becomes important to check the dangerous torrent, and to prevent the pollution of the few pure streams of public information. What evidence exists, or what shadow of evidence has ever been adduced to prove, that General Hamilton is averse to a republican government and attached to a monarchical one. Has he ever expressed an opinion of this kind in any of his numerous public writings, or ever in the more retired moments of confidential conversation? If he has, let his enemies declare; (for he has enemies enough who are sufficiently embittered) to whom were the declarations made, on what occasion, and what their import? I pass by, as undeserving notice the allegations of Junius Americanus and others, of speeches made by Gen. Hamilton, for they are notoriously false, and even the anonymous scribblers are ashamed to avow the baseness of their origin. But the defence of such a man as Hamilton, need not be reposed on the feebleness of his enemies—his character does not seek shelter under a negative defence; he has given to the world, noble, unequivocal evidence of his love of liberty, and of republican government; proofs more durable than the malicious flatterers of his opponents. In our revolutionary war, he fought the battles of freedom—he bared his breast to the bayonets of an enemy, whom some of his calumniators dare not face. After the peace, he partook of the labours of government in the Congress of the United States. In the convention of 1787, which framed the present federal constitution, and which his enemies affect to admire, he was a distinguished, powerful and important member.
Whatever there is of freedom, of stability, of wisdom in that fabric, Hamilton has his full share of the merit of it. He was the only member from the important state of New-York, who signed the constitution after its adoption, he wrote in conjunction with Gov. Jay and Mr. Madison, (who has since apostatized) those most excellent essays under the title of the Federalist and the signature of Publius—a work, confessedly, the first ever published in America, for profoundness, for perspicuity and elegance. His fellow labourers have had the generosity to confess that it is principally the work of Alexander Hamilton. And it is credible that a man who so largely and powerfully contributed to produce our excellent constitution, is hostile to its principles. From whom does the charge come? From the very men, who opposed the constitution, although it has been supported lately by those who have acted, and still think more correctly. Would not Gen. Hamilton have prevented the proposition of so excellent a constitution, would he not have attempted to increase the confusions and disorders of the country, instead of attempting to alleviate them, if he had really wished a government of more force and less freedom? Did he take the measures which tyrants have always successfully pursued, to produce civil wars and insurrections, in order that they may ride upon the whirlwind and direct the storm? No.—The whole life of General Hamilton, has been devoted most disinterestedly, to protect, secure and maintain the liberties of the people, on the only solid foundation, that of law and regular organized government. Many men in their closets may have written, but no man has done more for the preservation of liberty order and good government.
Another charge of similar complexion in point both of malignity and falsehood which has been bestowed upon Gen. Hamilton, is that he is a partizan of Great Britain, that he is one of a British faction. Jefferson in his letter to Mazzei, makes this same charge against President Washington, Vice President Adams, and a majority of the Senate. The Chronicle, Aurora, and Argus, have reloaded with these charges, but all honest men knew that
they were introduced to ward off an enquiry into French influence and French intrigue. Of late, certain zealots of another description have borrowed the slanders of jacobins, uttered them with an impudence and boldness, which has astonished even the fabricators of them. But is not this tale manifestly as unfounded as the other? In what one act has Gen. Hamilton manifested a partiality for Great Britain? In the conduct of his distinguished man, nothing escapes remark, and nothing improper eludes severe criticism. Yet his worst enemies have never dared to specify a charge, a single fact on this head. Will Federalists quarrel with the proclamation of neutrality, which Hamilton so ably supported in the cabinet against Jefferson and which the partizans of France so loudly condemned as a violation of our treaty with France? Will they assume the language of opposition and contend that we ought to have armed on the side of the French Republic? If so, will they censure the eloquent and able author of Pacificus, who vindicated Washington's proclamation of neutrality, and who contributed so much to keep the nation out of the vortex of French revolutionary principles? If these are evidences of a partiality for Great Britain—if fighting by the side of Washington, when the Austrians of our Country were skulking in safety, and the Fellowes, were claiming the protection of Great Britain; if retaining the undiminished confidence of our greatest and first of citizens till his death, are proofs of Gen. Hamilton's attachment to Great Britain, then stigmatize him as the leader of a British faction. I shall glory in being marked as one of such a fact on under such a leader. The last charge which the malicious industry of his enemies has conjured up against him, is that Gen. Hamilton is opposed to the re-election of President Adams.
This it is which has given all the bitterness which has communicated all the venom to the slanders against this distinguished patriot—With the language of patriotism in their mouths, these calumniators have been governed wholly by the narrow considerations and feelings of personal resentment. The public, however, before they undertake to decide will consider coolly and calmly the truth, the nature and the merits of the charge. Is the charge true? What evidence have they furnished to the public that Gen. Hamilton is opposed to Mr. Adams? Facts would speak a different language—President Adams appointed Gen. Hamilton to the elevated office which he now holds—This is at once a proof of Gen. Hamilton's superior merits, and of the improbability of their being at variance. Is Gen. Hamilton a candidate? None are any of his friends can'tates? no what intell can he have in a change of that office? None—If any, let his enemies declare it—But if it were true, that Gen. Hamilton is of opinion that another man would be better fitted to fill that important office, is that a crime, which is to strip him of all his hard earned laurels? Is a man, to be abused and vilified because he does not agree with us in the qualifications and merit of our favourite candidate, though he has supported our principles through a long labious, and useful life? Is the condition in a dead letter, which provides for a peaceful and orderly rotation in office? and that a man republican, who censures another for exercising his rights in a peaceable orderly and constitutional manner? But it is said, that Gen. Hamilton tried to prevent the election of Mr. Adams at the last election—that this is a crime of deep dye, for which he ought to be abused as a Roy list and a partizan of Britain. I am glad, that it is safe has been mentioned, because it will elude and justify, most fully, the conduct of Gen. Hamilton at the last and present election.
Upon the resignation of Gen. Washington, it was extremely doubtful who would be his successor. It was well known that deep and violent prejudices, inflamed and embittered, for the space of eight years existed against Mr. Adams in the Southern States. He had been abused as Hamilton now is as a royalist. His excellent defence on the American constitutions, had been garbled, distorted, perverted and misrepresented as the speeches of Gen. Hamilton, now are, by Junius Americanus, and other jacobinical writers, and he was generally, tho' falsely believed to be an advocate for titles and an hereditary aristocracy—his manner never were conciliatory to his enemies, nor very flattering to his friends—He was conceived to have too much of Cato and Cicero in his composition to render him popular. All honest men, therefore, who were not personal y attached to him, thought it the wisest policy to set up with him, a southern federalist, who might unite southern prejudices with federal principles in his favour, and thus effectually guard against the introduction of that worst of all calamities, a jacobin President. It was also believed that this was the honest and fair practice upon the constitution, and that it was important to secure a federal Vice President, who would have all the powers in case of vacancy. That General Hamilton might patriotically have entertained these sentiments is very possible. The event showed the correctness and patriotism of this conduct; Massachusetts and Connecticut by departing from this system put at hazard the constitution and government. Mr. Adams had but one vote to spare, and yet he had one in Pennsylvania and one in Virginia, out of 34 in those states—if those two electors had not possessed the uncommon, unexpected fortitude to vote against all their colleagues, the election would have been lost; Jefferson would have been our President; France our mother country; Buonaparte our Chief Consul. Was not this a miraculous escape? Was it wise or prudent to play this desperate game? Was it not like a gamester who stakes his fortune
and his life upon a single throw? If Pinckney had been supported we should not have incurred this hazard—he would have had several votes to spare, and President Adams would have been Vice President. Thus we should have excluded Jefferson and combined the talents and virtues of two distinguished northern and southern federalists; although from our personal acquaintance and local attachment, we may greatly prefer Mr. Adams, can any candid man deny that this would have been the safest, most honest, and most prudent part? Suppose Jefferson who had only two votes less than Adams, had succeeded, what would the southern federalists have said to us? They might have charged us with defeating the cause to secure the election of a northern man. If you had joined us, the federal constitution would have been safe; now it is in the hands of the Mazzean philosopher who is resolved to break its "liptian ties". But tho' these might have been Hamilton's id as, it is notoriously untrue, that he opposed Mr. Adams. If he had any influence any where, it was in New-York, and yet all the federal voters in New-York were for Adams at the last election; and it is well known that Col. M——, an able and virtuous federalist in New-York advised his relation in this town and a friend of the President's, that Hamilton exerted his influence for the New-York list of Electors who voted for Adams.
If such were the dangers to which a division exposed the federalists at the last election, what must be their situation at the ensuing one if a like dissension should take place. Then we had 12 votes from New-York, and succeeded by a majority of one only; now we shall lose all the votes of that state, and no man without a spirit of divination can tell where we shall acquire any accession.
Is Gen. Hamilton then to be stigmatized as the enemy of Mr. Adams, the friend of royalists, a partizan of Britain, an ambitious intriguer, because he would honestly support two federal candidates, Adams and Pinckney? a mode by which, if the confidence in the President is not diminished, we shall gain his election, and secure that important point of a federal Vice President. I shall consider Gen. Hamilton's great and distinguished service hereafter. "NO JEALOUS RIVAL"

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Gray. AT length I've reach'd my custom'd walk. How still! Save when the evening breeze, in passing sighs Make sacred murmurs in these mountain tops, Caring the stream below! Thou nameless rill, Roll on thy unseen wave, till thou art lost In the salt mass of waters! Tho' the spring, With dewy fingers, decks thy fiery brink, With nodding violets, and the lonely rose; Tho' oft, on wilows bending, o'er thy stream, As they would read their images below, The solitary red bird, and the thrush, Slow swinging to the breeze, in wild accord, Disburthen their full souls of five soft song— Tho' r't nameless rill, and to the world unknown. Perhaps some wandering, melancholy man, Sung with the memory of a grievous wrong, Will sit upon thy bank, and hold his eyes Fast fixt upon thy stream, that deals away Without a murmur Or, perhaps, some swain Of tender years, that leaves the woods to rove, Sighing and musing, as he wends along Or gains, with revolv'd foot, the mountains top, And, while he looks, on all the scene below, A wistful look, feels, in his labouring breast, The budding germ of thought, yet immature, And oft attempts the inexpressive train Of future song;—will wile along thy bank. And feel his soul touch'd by the goodly lights, And mellow sounds, that cheer thy lonely course. How like thine unseen life, O Breeze, nature's lov'd child! Even in thy prime, she drew her veil aside, And sweetly smil'd upon thy ardent gaze; Taught thee her language; bade thee tune thy lyre To notes of wildest minstrelsy. But soon, Like that frail flower thy youthful hand had rear'd And taught to creep, in many a winding bout, Thick o'er thy lattice cot, thy bloom decay'd, Yet, ere the hand of death had cut thee down, Thou sung'st, like dying swans, thine own farewell! Sleep on, blest Bard! The long last night will end; And morn will come, in Heaven's own splendour, dress'd. Sleep on, blest Bard! The village swains shall come, And erst aid listen to thy melting strains, That chit thy lonely grave, with earliest flowers; Shall paint the stranger here; and, pensive, say, "OUR MINSTREL SLEEPS BENEATH THIS RANK-LING GRASS".
