For Publishing by Subscription, Modern Geography.
A Description of the Empires, Kingdoms, States, and Colonies, with the Oceans, Seas and Isles, in all parts of the World—including the most recent Discoveries and political Alterations, digested on a new plan.
By JOHN PINCKERTON. The Astronomical Introduction by the Rev. S. Vince, A. M. F. R. S. and Plumian Professor of Astronomy, and Experimental Philosopher, in the University of Cambridge.
WITH NUMEROUS MAPS, Drawn under the direction, and with the latest improvements, of Arrowsmith, and engraved by the best artists.
THAT a new and more correct work on Geography, than has hitherto appeared, has long been much wanted, is a fact too evident to admit of contradiction.—Few men are capacitated to perform the arduous task of compiling a system perfectly correct—but none, perhaps, that have attempted it, have been so successful as the author of these volumes. The work first appeared in London, in March 1802, and met with a reception which sufficiently proved the high estimation in which it was held, but, as an extract from the Author's preface [which may be seen at those places where subscriptions are received] will more clearly explain his plan, and the exertions which were made to give it to the British Public in a correct state, the American Publishers will content themselves with simply observing, that no endeavor shall be wanting, on their part, to render it, by useful additions, even more valuable than it now is. They have engaged several scientific characters to revise the whole work, and particularly that part which relates to America; to which considerably more attention will be paid than may have been thought necessary by the Author. To the maps in the English edition, will be added, a map of the United States, and one of each state of the Union, which have been some time preparing by a gentleman of professional eminence. The whole of the maps, which will be bound in a separate quarto volume, will be executed in a style of elegance never exceeded in this country. When it is considered, that the English Edition sells at thirty dollars, and the American is to be delivered to subscribers at nine, the Publishers are induced to believe that every friend to science and the interests of the American press, will give this work their cordial and immediate patronage.
CONDITIONS.
The Work will be comprised in two octavo volumes, of about 800 pages each, and a quarto Atlas, containing Sixty Maps.
It will be printed on a fine paper and new type.
The price to subscribers will be nine dollars, handsomely bound and lettered. Each volume will be delivered as soon as finished, and no money required until the delivery.
It will be put to press as soon as four hundred subscribers are obtained.
In order to procure an immediate encouragement to the undertaking, the sum at which subscribers will receive their books is considerably under that which will be charged to non-subscribers.

DECLARATION OF WAR
By his BRITANNICK MAJESTY .
At the Court of the Queen's Palace, 16th of May, 1803.
PRESENT The KING's most excellent Majesty in Council.
Whereas in consequence of the repeated insults and provocations which his Majesty has experienced from the Government of France, his Majesty finds himself compelled to take such measures as are necessary for vindicating the honor of his Crown and the just rights of his subjects; his Majesty, therefore, is pleased by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that general reprisals be granted against the ships, goods, and subjects of the French Republic, so that as well as his Majesty's ships and goods, as also, all other ships and goods that shall be commissioned, by letters of Marque, or general reprisals, or otherwise, by his Majesty's Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of Great Britain, shall and may lawfully seize all ships, vessels and goods belonging to the French republic or inhabiting within any of the Territories of the French Republic, and bring the same to judgment in such courts of admiralty within his Majesty's dominions, as shall be duly commissioned to take cognizance thereof:
And, to that end, his Majesty's advocate general, with the advocate of the Admiralty, are forthwith to prepare the draft of commission, and present the same to his majesty at this board, authorizing the commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, or any persons by them empowered and appointed, to issue forth and grant letters of Marque and reprisals to any of his majesty's subjects, or others whom the commissioners shall deem fitly qualified in that behalf, for the apprehending, seizing and taking the ships, vessels and goods belonging to the French republic, or to any persons being subjects to the French republic, or inhabiting within any of the territories of the French republic: and that such powers and clauses be inserted in the said commission, as have been usual, and are according to former precedents.
His Majesty's said advocate general, with the advocate of the admiralty, are also forthwith to prepare a draft of a commission, and present the same to his majesty at this board, authorizing the said commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, to will and require the high court of admiralty of G. Britain and the lieutenant and judge of the said court, his surrogate or surrogates, as also the several courts of admiralty within his majesty's dominion which shall be duly commissioned to take cognizance of, and judicially proceed upon all and all manner of captures, seizures, prizes and reprisals of all ships and goods that are or shall be made, and to hear and determine the same, and according to the course of admiralty and the laws of nations, to adjudge and condemn all such ships, vessels and goods as shall belong to the French republic, or to any persons being subjects to the French republic, or inhabiting within any of the territories of the French republic; and that such powers and clauses be inserted in the said commission as have been usual and are according to former precedents; and they are likewise to prepare and lay before his majesty at this board a draft of such instructions as may be proper to be sent to the said several courts of admiralty in his majesty's foreign governments and plantations for their guidance herein: as also another draft of instructions for such ships as shall be commissioned for the purpose above mentioned.

NEW-YORK, July 1.
His excellency Rufus King, Esq. late American minister at the court of Great Britain has just arrived, and brings information, that Louisiana, including New-Orleans, is absolutely ceded to the United States by France. What are the boundaries of the territory ceded, and what the conditions of purchase, is not precisely known.
Under the Paris head of the 17th May, it is said, "We are credibly informed, that the dispute between the US of America and the court of Spain, respecting Louisiana, is happily adjusted; and that this arrangement was principal-
ly brought about by the just and pacific views of the French government, who were not disposed to permit the peace of those countries to be disturbed by war. Some persons speak of a cession that is to be made in favor of the American States."
On the same subject, a London paper of the evening of the 20th May, says, "In our preceding columns will be found an interesting debate on a number of motions by Mr. Gray for the production of national papers. In the course of the discussion it appeared that Louisiana is actually ceded by France to America. On the subject there can be but one opinion, that this cession to America originated out of the situation in which this country and France are placed."
And under date of the 21st is the following: "The renewal of war between this country and France, has proved of essential service to America. Private letters from Paris state, that the American minister Mr. Munroe, has completely succeeded in the object of his mission, and that within three days the French government has ceded to the Americans the possession of Louisiana. It is further stated, upon the same respectable authority, that a sum of 6,000,000 of dollars, due from France to individuals of the United States, to obtain payment of which was one of Mr. Munroe's principal objects, has been given up by the latter, the American minister having consented, that the government of the United States shall take that debt upon itself."
In the London Courier of the 20th of May, it is stated in an editorial paragraph, noticing the debate of the preceding day in the house of Commons, that the only matter of moment which occurred in it was that the French government had ceded to the United States the Province of Louisiana.
The following information, highly important if true, was received by yesterday's mail from Boston:
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman to a respectable house in Boston, dated
Paris, 13th May. "LOUISIANA IS CEDED TO THE UNITED STATES ON THE MOST HONORABLE TERMS, AND INDEMNIFICATION WILL BE MADE FOR FRENCH SPOLIATIONS."
IMPORTANT.
Paris, April 28, 1803.
"We have now the moral certainty of being paid in the U. States what France owes to America—Government cedes Louisiana for a certain sum, of which the amount creditors are to be in a part;—and whether we are paid in cash or stock it is still a good payment."
May 9.
"I at last have the pleasure to inform you that the American creditors are to be paid by the American Government in exchange for Louisiana. The thing is fixed; five months are given for the ratification; and six weeks after, those liquidated will be paid by Mr. Livingston's Bills on the treasury of the United States, and those unliquidated, within six months after."
Extract of another dated Paris, April 28 from a different person to his correspondent in this city.
"With certainty, the American creditors will be paid soon, and it is believed by the U. States, in part compensation for Louisiana, which is to be ceded to our government. I suppose the east side of the river."
From Port Republican.
Captain Burbank, of the brig Lovely Lass , has communicated the following intelligence: "That he sailed from Port-Republican on the 7th inst. a few days previous to which the brigand troops to the number of between 3 and 4000, (as was reported) marched from Leogane and encamped on the plains within 6 miles of the town—That a number of French troops, in which were included the marines of the ships of war in port, were sent out to engage them, and that a partial battle had been fought, in which the French gained no superiority. The issue was undecided when captain B. sailed. The Americans in the town were stationed in the fort. There were at Port-Republican, 4 ships of the line and 6 frigates, and a number of frigates cruising in the Bits , which prevented the brigand barges from coming out—about 1000 troops arrived during his stay here, in detached transports from France. Capt. B. also states that 25 of the French inferior officers deserted in one night, and joined the blacks."
Three American schooners (whale
fishermen) belonging to Nantucket, one of which was commanded by capt. David Folger, have been taken by the French national schooner Telegraph , off Aux-Cayes, carried into Jacmel and condemned.—The crews were put into the fort at the latter place, where 6 of them had died. This intelligence capt. Burbank received from capt. Folger, who came to Port-Republican with an appeal to the superior court at that place, but which sanctioned the decree of the court at Jacmel. The plea for condemnation was for trading with the brigands.
BOSTON, June 20.
CONSTITUTION FRIGATE. —On Thursday last, the novel and interesting operation of heaving down the Constitution frigate, for the purpose of re-coppering her, was performed here, under the direction of Commodore Preble. The preparations for the experiment evince his judgment, intelligence and enterprize. This stout ship was hove down by a purchase leading from the main and fore-mast heads, to Col. May's wharf, which had previously been prepared for the purpose. Each mast had been strengthened by two oak fishes; and in addition to the shrouds, they were supported by five careening pendants at the main, and four at the fore-mast heads, set up to as many out-riggers projecting from the gun-deck ports; the out-riggers secured by gammoning to bolts in the ship's bottom. This operation has been performed without either straining the ship, or parting a rope-yarn; although we learn from conversation with those acquainted therewith, that owing to the construction of the ship, she heaves down harder than a ship of the line.—The work-men commenced re-coppering on Thursday morning, when her keel was hove out, and her larboard side was completed yesterday afternoon. The copper is from the furnace of Col. Revere, at Canton; it is the first ever manufactured in the United States, and will not suffer by comparison with the best sheets imported.
We learn that Capt. Preble is appointed to command the squadron now fitting out for foreign service. This squadron, it is expected, will be composed of seven vessels, and will sail some time in July.
HARRISBURG, June 27.
ESTHER M'DOWELL.
Whether an impostor or not we don't pretend to decide—Her tale is mysterious—Three months have now elapsed since the robbery was said to have been committed: and while a few more months "roll on" the truth will transpire. Although the account, recently published in the Oracle , was from a very respectable gentleman, it may be erroneous; and far be it from us to wish, by propagating unfounded suspicions, to add to the bitterness of affliction, or dry up the channel of charity.
The following, from a gentleman in Williamsport, we insert with pleasure;—and desire the public to consider, for the present, the stories in circulation prejudicial to miss M'Dowell, like many other true stories—absolutely false.
FOR THE ORACLE.
MR. WYETH. A communication in your paper of the 6th inst. respecting Esther M'Dowell, who has, from her sex and misfortune, excited so much sympathy in the breast of every person of humanity, who has heard her story, has been much regretted by the respectable people of this place. The manner of its appearance in your paper, evidences to the public that its insertion did not meet with your approbation. The account of Connell's being taken in Upper Canada, which you subjoined, contradictory of that communication, has reached us through other channels, attended with corroborative circumstances. The language of the communication complained of, shows that information to the public was not the object of the writer. The sneer of derision attempted to be cast upon the good people of Pine Creek, who have so humanely administered to the wants of this unfortunate female, excites just indignation in this place; and no doubt will meet the same reception by every one who has or shall read the publication alluded to. It was never before stated that jewels were taken from her ears; these, she says, had never been worn by her since the death of her aunt—Lacerations of her person were never before heard of. It has not been proved that she ever worked journey-work at the taylor-trade, habited in man's apparel. The person with whom the supposed taylor-lad exchanged a pair of shoes, was not the first, but among the last, to accuse miss M'Dowell
of imposition, though living at the distance of 600 yards from her residence, for two months.
It is true, that circumstances have been unfolded which, if considered by themselves, unconnected with the whole, might justify doubts of imposture; but these are opposed by a thousand others, which compel many to think that imposture is impossible. To every reflecting mind they must appear so cogent, that, until the whole transaction is fairly understood, it would be highly uncharitable to censure. The modest, unassuming manners, chaste conversation, propriety of deportment, intelligence of mind, evinced by miss M'Dowell, since she has been known in the country, connected with her undeviating relation of her misfortunes, ought to be sufficient evidence in her favor, until guilt be proved. It is so to the worthy and respectable persons at Pine Creek, who have so charitably befriended her; and that protection will not be withdrawn. Measures are taking to insure intelligence from Montreal which will put the question at rest. Until then the public will suspend their judgment. It is expected that proofs will arrive which show the atrocity of the alleged robbery to be still more satanic than the public have been informed of.
Williamsport, 15th June, 1803.
MARTINSBURG, July 8.
On Friday night last the house belonging to Mr. G. Wolfe, in which Mr. W. Turner resided, took fire and was entirely consumed, although the citizens were early alarmed and made considerable exertions to extinguish the flames, but not being in possession of any implements for the suppression of fire, their efforts were ineffectual. On the succeeding morning a subscription paper was set on foot for the procurement of a fire engine, ladders, hooks, &c. and has been liberally subscribed to. This paper is now in the hands of W. Riddle, Esq. and as a considerable sum is yet wanting, it is to be hoped, that every good citizen, who has it in his power, will contribute something towards the accomplishment of so desirable a purpose.
The 4th of July was celebrated in this town by the mechanics, and others, by a barbecue under the management and direction of Messrs. John Robinson, William Gregory, Daniel Snider and Jarvis Jeffries. A company paraded early in the day under the command of Messrs. John Gregory, James Campbell and Henry Job, they were afterwards marched to the ground and fired a volley at each of the following toasts.
1. May the Fourth of July, the day we celebrate, be ever memorable as the era of American Independence; may the principles that then actuated the fathers of their country, never cease to exist in the bosoms of their sons. 2. The President of the United States—The office of the First Magistrate of a free and rising empire, more honorable than the imaginary grandeur of despots though decorated with crowns and sceptres. 3. The Vice-President of the United States. 4. The Officers of the General Government—May the elevated rank they sustain among their fellow-citizens, never lead them to forget that they are the servants, not the masters of the people. 5. The memory of the illustrious WASHINGTON , who by his prudence, valor and patriotism, triumphed over the armies of despotism, and reduced to practice those principles of freedom we this day celebrate. 6. The Mechanics of this and our sister states—May the various arts which comfort and embellish human life, under the fostering care of an equal and free constitution, attain a degree of perfection and grandeur equal to the proudest monuments of antiquity. 7. Agriculture—A sure, certain and permanent fund of wealth to the citizens of these states—May no oppressive system of taxation rob the industrious of the fruits of their labor. 8. Commerce—unshackled by oppressive regulations, while the American flag is displayed on every sea, and every nation partakes of our abundance—May we meet with reciprocal good offices from all. 9. The memory of all those who died in defence of American Independence. 10. May we be a great and happy nation, and our prosperity as an united people, last until the end of time. 11. Liberty—May its blessings be as extensive as the world, and its virtues numerous as its inhabitants.

 13. The Fourth of July—as often as time revolves that day, let gratitude do homage to those heroes who were proven as by fire.  14. May the United States of America remain one united empire.  15. May the National Government always appear in its true colours.  16. May Justice by her sword protect the United States of America.  17. May Virtue be the main-spring of our government.  18. The American Fair. 
VOLUNTEERS.

Volunteer by Capt. Mackey
May Honor and Veracity and an invariable attention to the public good cement the members of Congress of the United States.
By Mr. Robert Hastings.
The revolutionary Irishman, who surrounded the enemies of American Independence.
It is a source of regret that the jealousies, the jarrings and animosities that distract society, have taken such deep root as not to have been entirely laid aside in this day and on an occasion where harmony was peculiarly desirable.
Shepherd's-Town, July 4, 1803.
This being the Anniversary of American Independence, a number of the Ladies and Gentlemen of this place and its vicinity assembled at Col. Swearingen's spring on the banks of the Potomac and partook of a handsome barbecue, given by the volunteer company commanded by Capt. Benjamin Stephenson. After celebrating the day, by giving the subjoined Toasts, each accompanied with platoon firing from the Volunteers, and music suitable to the occasion, the company returned to town and spent the evening in the greatest harmony and felicity.
 1. The auspicious day we celebrate.  2. The Constitution of the United States.  3. The American People—May they be deeply impressed with those manly sentiments of Freedom which gave rise to the declaration of Independence.  4. The memory of our illustrious countryman, Gen. GEORGE WASHINGTON—while we revere his memory, may we emulate his character.  5. The President of the United States—May the principles contained in his inaugural address govern his executive conduct.  6. The Chief Justice of the United States and his associates in office.  7. The National Councils of America—May harmony and confidence give efficacy and success to their measures.  8. The Agriculture and Commerce of the United States—May they flourish by the mutual support of each other.  9. The American Fair—admirable for their beauty, and amiable for their virtues.  10. The American NAVY—May it rise with the resources of the nation.  11. The free navigation of the Mississippi—Nature has pronounced it ours, and let not man deprive us of it.  12. The man who can nobly labour for the good of his country, uninfluenced by meaner motives.  13. The genuine Patriots of the day.  14. Rational Liberty to all men.  15. The Officers and Soldiers of National defence.  16. May the virtue and industry of our people, and the wisdom and mildness of our laws, render the United States the emporium of the world and an asylum to the virtuous of all nations. 
17. May we never forget those whose exertions procured the Independence of America; and may that Independence never be sacrificed to the baneful influence of party spirit.
Volunteer by Capt. Stephenson.
Let the rulers of America always recollect that to preserve her independence, they must guard her honor.
Volunteer by J. Baker, Esq.
The Shepherd's-Town Volunteers—May they be ever ready at their Country's call.
A quarrel has arisen between Callender and Pace, the proprietors and publishers of the Richmond Recorder. Callender accuses Pace of retaining, for his own private use, the avails of the establishment belonging to the firm, and refusing a settlement of the partnership accounts. Pace denies the charge, and recriminates by accusing Callender of ingratitude, of neglect of duty and of continuing for eight weeks at a time so drunk as to be incapable of giving any attention to business. The consequence is, that they have dissolved partnership. Pace promises to procure an able editor and to continue to publish the Recorder. Callender promises to issue proposals for publishing a new Recorder to be conducted by himself alone.
General Statistical Table for the U. States.
Every inquisitive American will consider himself much indebted to Mr. Blodget, for the pains he has taken in collating and preparing the summary view of the progressive population, increase of improvements and augmentation of the wealth and resources of the United States. Our population has more than doubled since the year 1774. The improvement of land has kept pace nearly in the same proportion. Our seamen are more than four times as numerous. Domestic produce has increased six-fold. In 1801 our exports exceeded fifteen times the proportion of 1773, and were nearly twelve times as great as they were last year. The tonnage of merchantmen is almost five times as great. The revenue has tripled. And the expenditures, owing in part to the redemption of the public debt, has almost quadrupled. The average price of labour has increased three-fold; that of wheat more than doubled. The metallic medium is more than four times as great. The nominal public debt appears to have been reduced to less than one half. The active sinking fund is more than nine millions of dollars. And resources which may be derived from the future sales of land, will in all probability, surpass five hundred millions of dollars! No power in the universe can exhibit so flattering a prospectus of real national wealth and prosperity as the United States.

[The following extract from an address of Mr. Davis, a late (demo.) member of congress from Kentucky, to his constituents, is interesting, as it explains the motives which governed his conduct during the late session. It also throws considerable light on the nature of parties.]
[From the Kentucky Palladium.]
"I will begin with those proceedings that most concern our state, and the western country in general. I mean the shutting of the port of New-Orleans against the Americans, contrary to treaty. Most of the proceedings on the subject was transacted with closed doors; and although I am not permitted to disclose what did pass in our secret sittings. I am at liberty to speak of what did not pass. The idea held out to our government by the Spanish minister resident in the United States was, that this was the act of the intendant and not the act of the Spanish court. This I did not believe, and was therefore of opinion, that it was the policy of the United States to order her troops to take possession of the island of New-Orleans, for the following reasons, to wit: 1st, If it was the unauthorised act of the intendant, the court of Spain could not blame us to resist, with manly firmness, any unauthorised aggression on our national rights: 2dly, if it was the act of the court of Spain, it was our duty to protect our citizens in the enjoyment of a right secured to them by treaty: 3dly, that island and the adjacent country must belong to the United States, or the fruit of the people in the western country will be in the power of the foreign nation holding that port or place: 4thly, because I believed that the state of affairs in Europe opened a fair opportunity for us to take possession of a country all agree we must on some day own: 5thly, because our treasury could well afford the support of the army necessary to conquer that country, and of the
western men plenty would execute the enterprise. You readily perceive I was not favorable to sending an envoy; a weak nation must beg for its rights; but a strong one ought to demand them. I have no fear but Mr. Munroe will return with an acknowledgment of our right to the port of Orleans: but who can tell how long it will be before that right may be again invaded. I do not believe that our government considered the shutting of the port, the unauthorised act of the intendant. If they did, why send a minister. In fine, if it was unauthorised, could not the court of Spain long since have opened the ports? I ask the candid mind to answer the question!
A law passed authorizing the president to hold in readiness, to march at a moment's warning, 80,000 militia, or to accept of the service of any portion of them, as volunteers. I did not vote for the law, because I do believe it to be a violation of the constitution. That instrument expressly gives the power of raising and supporting armies to congress; and I do not believe it safe or constitutional to transfer that power to the president or any other person. If troops are necessary, congress ought to raise them. If they are found necessary in the recess, the president can convene congress. Besides this objection, others cooperated with me. It is well known that the militia cannot be marched out of the United States, and no particular provision is made for raising volunteers.—Hence I conclude they will not be raised. I therefore consider the law a pompous nullity.
Various propositions were made from both the republican and federal side of the house on the subject of the port of New-Orleans; and both, in my opinion, equally insincere.
The republicans laboring by faint shews to quiet the minds of the western people, lest they might attempt to avenge their own wrongs, and thereby commit the peace of the United States before the result of negotiation could be known, and the federalists exerting themselves to embarrass the negotiation so as to defeat its object. I must therefore conclude, that, in the contest of conflicting parties, already advanced too far in opposition to each other, the western people have been neglected. For I cannot impute to any of our sister states, the want of good will towards us. I have already said the political contest had gone too far. I explain in this way: under the administration of Mr. Adams, the republicans, then the minority, complained of the following errors, to wit: the constant increase of expence: the thirst he showed for power; and his willingness to engage in war on slight pretences.—Under the administration of Mr. Jefferson, the leading republican members have pledged themselves to pay the national debt in seventeen years, after repealing the internal taxes:—Any step therefore that will break in on this arrangement will be opposed by the leading republicans, because the wisdom of the president and accuracy of the secretary of the treasury, and their own fiscal knowledge, is at stake. Every step therefore that tends to assimilate the administration of Mr. Jefferson to that of Mr. Adams, whether it be necessary or not, will be opposed by the present majority. The federalists, desirous of bringing the administration of Mr. Jefferson into disrepute, will do all in their power to adopt measures calculated to increase expence, and if possible, breed war, no matter on what pretences or with what nation; so they may say, Adams made peace, Jefferson made war. Early last session, a resolution was introduced and passed relating to the port of New-Orleans, wherein it was declared that congress received with great sensibility the information of the closing of that port, &c, but adhering to their former pacific disposition, &c.—I did not vote for this resolution, because, at a time when one of the best rights of the western people was arbitrarily withheld from them, I did not think it proper to declare we would be pacific. Of what avail is national strength if we do not exert it to hold our rights. I am for being pacific so far as relates to the rights of other nations; but will repel by force every encroachment on our national rights.
I will add only one remark more on this subject, viz. I see the Spanish minister here has declared the port of New-Orleans again open to the Americans:—but if the public prints are to be credited, that island is in possession of the French; at least, L'Aussat, in the name of the French republic, has issued a proclamation to that effect. I suppose the Spanish authority has ceased; and if the French gain possession of that country, our hopes of ever obtaining it are very
faint. I believe we have let the golden opportunity pass by, without reaping the benefits it offered us.
There was one other instance in which I thought the western people were refused a reasonable indulgence, to wit: As the government could not or did not protect us in the enjoyment of the right of deposit at Orleans, and as our produce without it must perish on our hands, and of course the farmer be without money to pay his taxes; I introduced a resolution to suspend the collection of taxes due the United States, from the western country until the port was restored.—This resolution was rejected by the committee of ways and means; although a similar indulgence had but a few days before been granted to the merchants of Portsmouth, New-Hampshire.
The salt spring in the Indiana territory has lately been obtained by treaty, from the Indians, and the government proposes to have the salt works at that place carried on at its own expence, and to sell the salt at half a dollar per bushel at the lick. The president being determined to break down the monopoly of salt in this country; and congress, by law, gave 3,000 dollars to set the works in motion."
The following handsome censure upon a fashion of the day, is from the pen of an old gentleman, who was an admirer of the simplicity which prevailed when our grand-mothers were the reigning toasts:—
MR. EDITOR.
I believe it will be difficult to ascertain the cause, and account for the corruption of taste, which could give rise to the present fashion amongst our Belles , of wearing the hair over the eyes. Some have been of opinion that this custom was adopted upon economical principles, to serve as a substitute for veils. However this may be, it is certainly a fashion imported from France, whose corrupt manners we are too fond of aping; and it is probable the practice was imitated from the most slutish and worthless class of females, among whom only it formerly prevailed, and which among decent persons is truly ridiculous. This fashion was never found in any description or representation of beauty in any age of the world; the eye, the eye-brow, and the forehead, have always been particularly admired, and have called forth the genius of the Poet, the Painter, and the Statuary. When the eyes are concealed or obscured by this hairy mask, the finest dimples of the cheek have little more effect than those of a fat elbow; and the sweetest lips, with all their enchanting smiles and graces lose all the impression they ought to make. The whole countenance, and an union of features, are necessary to constitute beauty; and as the Sun gives light, action, and splendour to the face of the universe, so the eye renders visible the beauty, lustre, and expression of the human countenance.—Unless all correct ideas of elegance and propriety are absolutely eradicated, I have no doubt the female face will be but a short time in eclipse; the person will again assume its once elegant drapery;—and instead of a rough mop, we shall soon have the flowing tresses and the graceful ringlets.

NEW SONG,
For the Fourth of July.
AMERICANS! welcome, and hail this blest day, Let the full heart of rapture expand with delight: The dictates of Liberty gladly obey, And with Freedom the glow of benev- lence unites;
Let the cares of the world be dispers'd with the wind And blest Independence alone fill each mind; Let Grief make a pause—and be blest on the day, That loos'd all our chains, and bade Mil- lions be Free.
O'er the wide fields of Europe, see an- archy sweep, See the foul fiend of Discord extend her wide jaws, The standard of Tyranny waves o'er the deep, And old Ocean seems bleeding in Liber- ty's cause;
But here the sweet Olive expands her bright leaf, Here the Goddess of Harvest still binds the rich sheaf, And Time, as he flies still confirms the decree, "Till Time is no more—shall Colum- bia be Free."
Then fill the gay bumper, to Liberty fill, To the Birthday of Freedom, and join the warm hand, May true Independence our charter be still And Peace shed her sweets o'er this throne happy land;
May the foul seeds of Faction ne'er pol- son our joy; Nor the wiles of a Tyrant our blessings annoy, But the pen of an Angel inscribe the de- cree, "E'er long live Columbia—the world shall be Free."
From the Balance.
E'ER lovely Laura's face I knew, Contentment crown'd my lot; My cares of life, alas! were few— Vain pomp I envied not.
The rosy hours flew swift away, I pip'd with merry glee; No lark that hail'd the rising day Was half so gay or free.
Remembrance paints the pleasing scene, When first she won my heart; Her benignant face, her graceful mien, Shone unadorn'd by art.
Now lonely, wandering thro' the grove, My bosom fill'd with care, I tune my pipe to hapless love, And mourn for my sweet fair.
The wretch inclos'd in Afric's coast, More freedom knows than I; Content is fled, bless'd peace is lost, In vain I heave the sigh.
Come thou, sweet hope, and soothe my grief, Thy smiles oft cheer my breast; 'Tis thou alone can'st give relief, And make a lover blest.
A TAVERN TO RENT.
I WILL rent my Tavern at Orange Court-House, Virginia, about forty miles west of Fredericksburg. This place has as many advantages as any other tavern in Virginia, being in the centre of four public roads and the only house of public entertainment kept at O- range Court House. The house is large and commodious, being eighty feet long with ten rooms in it, and a cellar under the whole house, with a good Kitchen, Meat House, Ice House, and stabling sufficient for 100 Horses, a Spring of excellent Water, which is conveyed to the bar, and other parts of the house, and is exceeded by no place for marketing. The situation is remarkably healthy, and the neighboring society friendly and agreeable. I will give possession this fall. For particulars apply to the sub- scriber, living on the premises.

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber living near Shepherd's Town, Jefferson County, Virginia, on the 25th instant, a Negro Man named CHARLES, though it is very probable he will change his name to Isaac, as it is suspected he has obtain- ed a pass belonging to another person.— He is 23 years of age, very black, about 6 feet high, hollow eyed, has some diffi- culty in speaking plain, when spoken to, and on close examination his great toes are nearly without nails. Had on when he went away a pair of striped cot- ton pantaloons with buttons at the ancles, a fine ruffled shirt, a fine muslinet vest, white flannel coat, and as he took away other garments with him, it is likely he will change his dress. Twenty Dollars will be given to any person that will se- cure him in any jail so that I get him a- gain, or if brought home the above re- ward, paid by me

BY A. F. M. WILILCH, M. D.
AUTHOR OF THE LECTURES ON DIET AND REGIMEN, &c. &c.
FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, With Additions, applicable to the pre-
sent situation of the United States, BY JAMES MEASE, M. D. Fellow of the American Philosophical So- ciety; and Corresponding Member of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester.
TO THE PUBLIC.
AS the practical tendency of the work here announced, must be evident, its peculiar nature scarcely requires fur- ther explanation.
When we consider the natural condi- tion of man, the object of all his pursuits becomes at once manifest and defined.— To live with satisfaction to himself and others—to procure as many comforts of life as are consistent with his mental and bodily constitution—and to avert im- pending danger—or, in other words to preserve himself from the injurious at- tacks of external agents, are nearly the whole of what relates to the practical part of human life. The present work being exclusively devoted to the depart- ments of health and general economy, no subject could with propriety be introdu- ced, which had a reference to ethics or morals, to metaphysics, or the abstract and professional sciences.
In order to unite conciseness with ge- neral utility, the theoretical or specula- tive part of every invention, discovery, or improvement, forms but a small por- tion of the Domestic Encyclopædia—be- cause the rationale, or elementary prin- ciples are only inserted in those instances where the subject cannot be sufficiently understood without them. . . . And as the alphabetical form possesses many advan- tages over the systematic division and subdivision of articles, it has, in the pre- sent case, been preferred, as more eligi- ble for a popular work.
It will be easily conceived, that the subjects treated of in this collection must be numerous and important; inasmuch as the economical sciences are intimate- ly connected with natural and experi- mental philosophy, including the know- ledge of useful animals, plants, and mi- nerals; chemistry, agriculture, garden- ing, hunting, the cultivation of trees, rearing of cattle, fishing, &c. To enable, however, the reader to judge of the method by which subjects apparently intri- cate and abstruse, are reduced to the level of ordinary capacities, the following heads will furnish an outline of the eco- nomical dictionary.
1. A concise historical account of the subject under consideration, or the man- ner in which it is most advantageously produced, either by nature or art. . . . for instance, fuel, candles, hats, shoes, wire, yarn, &c. 2. The most judicious and economi- cal mode of applying every substance to useful purposes. 3. All the newly discovered methods of defending the objects of domestic and rural economy, from the effects of air, heat, and cold, the changes of climate, seasons, and other contingent causes; likewise, the most effectual way of pre- serving particular substances, such as seeds, roots, plants, &c. from the depre- dations of insects, reptiles, and other ani- mals. 4. An explanation of the general ef- fects which every article of food and drink, as well as all external and contin- gent causes, produce on the health of the body; together with the most approved rules and directions for its preservation. 5. As the list of human afflictions con- tain many and obstinate diseases such as cancers, consumption, epilepsy, gout, palsy, white-swelling, &c. which have hitherto been for the most part consider- ed as incurable, a concise and faithful ac- count of the latest and most plausible re- medies, or methods of treatment, is gi- ven.
From the foregoing account, it must be obvious to all, that the nature of the Domestic Encyclopædia, is peculiarly adapted to the present wants of the United States. Perhaps it contains a greater number of useful facts than have ever appeared in the compass of four moderate volumes. No pains, trouble, or ex- pense, appear to have been spared to ren- der this economical dictionary as com- plete as the present advancement of agri- culture, gardening, of the familiar arts and manufactures, as well as the imper- fect state of medical science, would res- pectively admit. It includes almost every object more or less connected with rural, domestic, and animal economy.— Hence the reader will find numerous ex- periments related, many hundreds of which have not before been published in the English language.
With regard to the additions, the edi- tor will observe, that no exertions shall be wanting on his part, to render them as useful as possible, to the people of this country. . . . As no other diseases but those enumerated in article five, are in-
roduced in the original work, and as it is peculiarly adapted to the situation of persons in the country, remote from me- dical aid, it has been deemed necessary in the present edition to detail the most approved methods of guarding against the attack of diseases, commonly prevalent in the United States, of curing them when actually present, and of treating the various accidents to which agricul- tural people are liable. There shall also be given, as full an account of all the poi- sonous plants growing in the United States, as can be obtained.
Care shall be taken to detail all the dis- coveries which have been made in the United States. . . . These will be found to be more numerous than is generally imagined. . . . Many machines for dimi- nishing labor, and which are peculiar to this country shall be described and illus- trated by plates.
The VETERINARY SCIENCE compre- hending the application of the principles of medicine, to the preservation of the health of domestic animals, and the cure of their diseases, shall also claim a due degree of attention. . . . That destructive and native disease, the yellow water of horses, shall be described, and a success- ful method of cure pointed out.
Lastly, the object of the work being to supply families with a compact guide, in all economical affairs, every useful fact in rural and domestic economy, omitted by Dr. Willich, and which may be known to the editor, shall be inserted; and in order to take advantage of progressing improvements, arrangements have been made to have all the periodical works on the above subjects, forwarded as soon as published in England or France.
The editor will thankfully receive any communications which may tend to im- prove the work, and he begs leave re- spectfully to solicit them.
The Publishers have but little to add for themselves; knowing that profession- sions generally are, and, perhaps, ought to be, in a great measure, unavailing, they refer the Public to the books they have already published. They have gi- ven to the world two Editions of Dr. Russell's Modern Europe, within the three last years: the manner, therefore, in which they execute their undertakings can be ascertained. . . . In the present work, if they do not advance much, they pledge themselves not to degenerate. It shall be printed in the first style of uniform- ity and taste. The paper shall be su- perfine—and the engravings at least equal to those in the London copy.
CONDITIONS.
I. It shall be printed in five large hand- some octavo volumes. One volume shall be delivered every three months. Price to Subscribers, two dollars and fifty cents per volume, in boards, payable on delive- ry. II. The first volume shall appear on the first of April, 1803, and a volume re- gularly every three months afterwards. III. It may be had in one delivery when finished, at twelve dollars and fifty cents per set, or fifteen dollars well bound, pay- able on delivery of the books. It will, how- ever, be only obtained at these prices, by those who give the publishers their names during the progress of the work, to take it when finished. IV. At any considerable distance from Philadelphia, it can only be delivered in the last mentioned manner. . . . the forward- ing of single volumes to many places being impracticable.
NOTICE is hereby given, that on the 2nd day of August next, at the House of Joseph Tiffin, in the Town of Chillicothe, and State of Ohio, the De- position of Nathaniel Willis will be ta- ken, in the Suit depending in the District Court held at Winchester, wherein James M'Glaughlin is Plaintiff, and the subscriber is Defendant.
