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

From the Independent American.
Much as the political feuds, through the United States, are to be lamented, there is certainly a very successful remedy now discovered, growing out of the evil itself.
The respectable, moderate men in society (and happily for our country they form a great proportion) are no longer entrapt by the declamation and mis-statements of party. They have been so often, and so much deceived by them, that the stratagem now cloy upon the ear, and disgusts the understanding! They have learned from experience that to judge of men and measures, the whole truth is indispensable to a just award.
The late misunderstanding between the British government and our own, is one of the strongest evidences of this truth which could possibly happen. The refusal of the British ministry to ratify the adjustment which Mr. Erskine had made with us, reached this country in mutilated scraps, through the publick prints. A French faction instantly seized upon the report, to make it subserve their views. Language of insult and reproach, was exhausted, to stamp the transaction as an act of deliberate perfidy. The democratick papers were found crowded with fabrications and complaints, calling aloud upon the people to revenge our wrongs, and upon the government to give us war!
Notwithstanding these gusts of passion—these peals of reiterated denunciations, the moderate phalanx looked on unmoved and unappalled! When they were called upon to join in the cry of war, they answered, no! let us wait—let us hear both sides—let us know the whole truth—let our government, the constitutional power, decide upon the course to be pursued; and whatever measures the president may adopt, be it peace or war, we pledge our lives and our property to support. This was following the advice of Washington, and inspiration itself could not have marked a wiser course! After all the clamour—all the asseverations which have been uttered and printed, a disclosure of facts leaves to the French faction the consolation only of reflection and repentance!
It must appear to every reflecting mind, that while the negotiation is pending, it is improper to intrude opinions, or conjectures, upon the subject; and highly censurable to "exonerate or set down aught in malice." It is sufficient that I say, "upon a view of the whole ground," we cannot for a moment believe that the only two nations who have eluded the devouring jaws of the tyger of Europe, should injure each other, and prepare themselves an easier prey to the common destroyer; when it is plain as the meridian sun it is the anxious wish of England to establish a permanent and friendly intercourse, and it is the interest of the United States to meet the overtures with temper and caution. No man under all the circumstances can doubt of the friendly termination of this negotiation; since we have now at the head of the government an American by birth—an American from education—an American from principle—and above all, an American in his foreign intercourse.
But at the moment we indulge our hopes in England, capt. Coles, the messenger to France, has returned with accounts which are gloomy even to despair! Our minister! Our minister, Mr. Armstrong, is returning in disgust from the ill treatment of the tyrant; and friendly negotiation abandoned as hopeless!
Under such an accumulation of perplexities, it is the duty of all men to reposes a confidence in our president, in the place of dictating, as the democratick presses have done. I know there are many adiable men of that party, and sincere friends to their country; but from the French faction we have little to hope. Now let us hear if the war whoop will issue from the wickets against France as it did lately against England—or whether in the event of a war taking place, the mass of democracy will pursue that patriotic course of federalists, and unite in defence of our common country. IMPARTIAL.
Boot and Shoe Manufactory.
SAMUEL COLEMAN.
Opposite the Market, (westward) has received by captain Lewis, on Monday last from Philadelphia, a large quantity of the best
Boot Legs, Vamps, Tops, &c.
that has (probably) ever been in Norfolk.
With the Philadelphia Upper Leather for Boots—the choice of Sole and other Leather here—good workmanship—great attention—no disappointments—a regular bread-foreman—and a tolerable supervisor—He has already furnished and will continue to furnish, better Boots and Shoes and better treatment to customers than has been afforded here by any person in this way; on these conditions only, he expects custom.
He has now from Baltimore, &c. three good HANDS for Ladies' Work, and a good stock of KID and MOROCO all the materials and workmanship shall be good. On the allowance made for that which is not, but the greatly increased price of all the materials, and the high price of labour in this way, will not admit of the Shoes being sold at the price of the run-work, generally offered for sale here.
He is now getting almost all kinds of Boots & Shoes made. The advantage of getting Boots and Shoes made in the place of good materials and workmanship, where the responsibility of the manufacturer is bound, is too obvious not to be seen except by those who have eyes and will not see.
He has on hand a large assortment of Boots, where gentlemen may be fitted at any time, with a certainty of getting such as are good, as he has no run-work done, and a large assortment of Shoes of nearly all kinds. His terms are each only.
A LEASE
For the eligible PROPERTY
he now occupies is to be disposed of—it has about three and an half years to run.

Translated from Spanish papers received at the office of the Public Ledger.
SEVILLE, April 24.
The accompanying letter addressed to his excellency the vice-president of the Supreme Central Junta, and the Junta has resolved to publish it, together with the answer to it, which general Cuesta has been directed to make.
MERIDA, April 18.
Most Excellent Sir,
The great part of the provinces of Spain, have already felt the horrid effects of a conquest, and the rest are imminently threatened to experience shortly the same calamities. The unfortunate events of the 27th and 28th of March, in which the armies of the generals Urbina and Cuesta suffered considerably, have filled with consternation and terror many honourable Spaniards, who cannot see with indifference the entire destruction of our beloved country. They have prayed the king to vouchsafe to put a stop to the calamities, which afflict the provinces occupied by French troops, and to save from the like misfortunes those provinces which have not as yet been occupied by them. His majesty has acceded to their prayers, and has in consequence sent me to this city to inform your excellency thereof, having authorised me to concert the means of obtaining so desirable an object, with the deputy or deputies, which the Supreme Central Junta may think proper to commission to that effect.
I cannot suppose for a moment that your excellency, or the Junta over which you preside will refuse to take a step on which perhaps depends the salvation of the Andalusian, and the felicity of the whole kingdom. The business is most important by its nature, and very urgent by the state of affairs. It would be therefore very inexpedient to attempt to enter into a discussion upon the subject in writing, which would give rise to numberless replies and alterations, as difficult to prevent on paper, as it is easy to avoid in a verbal conference. I thus promise myself from the enlightened mind and patriotism of your excellency, and of the Junta, that you will appoint one or more persons to treat with me on the subject, and with them I will agree as to the place we are to hold our conference.
God preserve your excellency many years. (Signed) Joaquin Maria Satelo.
To the Signior President of the Supreme Central Junta.
ORDER OF THE JUNTA TO GEN. CUESTA. Royal Palace of Seville, April 21.
Most Excellent Sir,
The Supreme Junta upon seeing the letter addressed to their vice-president by Don Joaquin Maria Satelo, and the insidious proposals made to them on the part of the French government, have immediately recollected the sacredness of the character with which they are invested, and the solemnity of the oath they have made to the nation with her universal approbation. If Satelo is invested with sufficient powers to treat of the restoration of our beloved king, and of the immediate evacuation by the French troops of all the Spanish territory, let him make those powers known in the manner practised by all nations, and we will listen to him, in concert with our allies. Otherwise the Junta cannot derogate from the high station in which it is placed, nor act contrary to the national will; which is not to listen to any proposal, nor admit any truce, or enter into any negotiation but upon those two preliminary conditions, which are grounded upon eternal necessity and justice. Any other kind of negotiation would, without saving the state, disgrace the Junta, who have bound themselves in the most solemn manner, to bury themselves in the ruins of the monarchy, sooner than listen to any proposal derogatory to the honour and independence of the Spanish nation.
His majesty desires your excellency to express to Satelo his royal resolution, and commands me to communicate to you his royal order, for your information and observance.
God preserve you many years. (Signed) Martin de Garay.
To Signior Don Gregario Cuesta.
SEVILLE, May 8th, 1809.
Second Letter of Don Joaquin Maria Satelo to the Vice President of the Supreme Central Junta.
MERIDA, April 27th, 1809.
Most Excellent Sir,
Through general Cuesta I have received the answer which the supreme Junta has made to my letter of the 18th inst. and on perusing it I cannot do less than make the following observations to your excellency.
1st. That the proposals contained in my said letter could never deserve the epithet of insidious. The avowed object of them is to remedy the evils which those provinces occupied by French troops have suffered, and to save from similar misfortunes those provinces which the French have not as yet occupied. These proposals were directly made to the government through a General in their confidence; a verbal conference is suggested to concert and agree upon the means to attain the object; which means before they could be brought into effect must necessarily receive the sanction and approbation of the Junta. The most scrupulous delicacy cannot point out in the purport of such a proposal, nor in the manner suggested to enter into the discussion, nor in the channel through which it was directed to the government that kind of dissimulation, of cunning and artifice, those attempts at seduction which would be necessary to qualify it as an insidious overture. If the publication did not weigh more with me than the suggestion of self love, I would have desisted from acting farther upon my commission, not to run the risk of being again charged with a reproach that I do not deserve.
2d. That I am well aware both of the obligations contracted by the supreme Junta at the time of its installation, and of the great probity of the members who compose it, and therefore if I considered that the proposals that I had to make were any wise incompatible with their character, I would not only do an injury to their honour, but that I would forfeit the good character which I have always borne, and which I suppose the Junta will not hesitate in the least to concede to me.
3d. And last. That before treating of the means it is necessary to know whether your excellency, and the body over which you preside wish to enter into the negotiation. In that case the powers of the negotiators will be first examined, and afterwards the reciprocal conditions that will be proposed will be discussed and agreed upon. This is the natural order of such negotiations, and the least innovation in that order would be the more injurious, in proportion as the matter in discussion would be more delicate. What objection can the Junta have, what danger can they apprehend from their listening through their deputies to those very things which they have no difficulty in reading themselves. I have already pointed out the inconvenience of carrying on the negotiation by writing, and the very answer of your excellency shows the impossibility of avoiding on paper those misinterpretations which would not take place in a verbal conference, if they did it would be easily done away.
Thus I take the liberty of calling your attention again to any note of the 18th inst. if notwithstanding all that I have said your excellency and the Junta will
not condescend to the proposed conference, I will nevertheless have always the satisfaction of having sought the welfare of my beloved country, although with the grief of having failed in my attempt, perhaps because my intentions have been undeservedly misinterpreted.
God preserve your excellency many years. (Signed) Joaquin Maria Satelo. Most Excellent Signior Vice President.
ORDER OF THE JUNTA TO GEN. CUESTA. Royal Palace of Seville, May 3d.
Most Excellent Sir,
The letter which Don Joaquin Maria Satelo has directed through you to the vice president has been read by the Junta; this body constant in its principles and resolutions directs you to answer him by repeating to him verbatim the contents of your reply to his first letter, adding the following:
"And inasmuch as the letter of your excellency of the 27th does not set forth any reason to induce the Junta to change their resolution, I have been directed to inform your excellency that such is the case, and that this will be the last time that any answer will be made, unless the French conform fully with the preliminary conditions of the Junta, and carry them immediately into effect."
This is the royal order which I communicate to you for your knowledge and observance.
God preserve you many years. (Signed) Martin de Garay.
Most Excellent Signior Don Gregario de la Cuesta.
Remarks upon the above, taken from the Seville Gazette.
It would have been inconsistent with the dignity and with the principles of the supreme Junta, to have given Satelo any other answer than the frank and decisive reply which they gave him through the general who commands the army of Estremadura. But if some individuals should ask what inconvenience could there have been in hearing what Satelo had to say; - to such the following remarks will be a sufficient answer:
1st. When between two contending parties there are no possible grounds on which they can come to an accommodation, that one who proposes a convention to the other can have nothing in view but to deceive or to offer an insult. If the French feel a desire to lessen the calamities of Spain, what else have they to do than to cease to inflict them? From what other source can our misfortunes arise but from their bad faith, from their want of honour and from their inconceivable inhumanity and treachery: would they have the Spanish nation to receive from them as a matter of favour, what belongs to her as a matter of right? But let us for a moment pass over the many deceptions and perfidies which the French have practised since the beginning of the arduous contest, which they have in such an unjust manner provoked; and let them say themselves, since they cannot be ignorant that their pretensions, whatever they may be, are incompatible with our rights, in what light are we to view the negotiation they propose to us?
2nd. If Satelo is so well informed of the obligations, contracted by the Junta, at the time of its installation, and of the great probity of the members who compose it, why did he undertake a negotiation to which virtue cannot possibly listen? When the French want to seduce and corrupt men, they set out by praising their probity and talents, and end by grossly proposing to them the greatest villainies. They may deceive the silly, frighten the weak, and engage the unprincipled to assist them in their projects; but enlightened and upright men, who have a just apprehension of the bonds that attach them to their country, and see before them the strait and glorious path which honour points out to them, will never be induced by their perfidious suggestions.
3rd. What objection, says Satelo, can the Junta have, what danger can they apprehend from their listening through their deputies to those very things which they have no difficulty in reading themselves? And what objection, we answer, can Satelo have in writing that which he would in the end be obliged to say? But since he wishes to give an air of diplomacy to his mission, it is strange that he has not perceived the essential vice that characterizes it. He calls himself a delegate of the king of Spain; and who is the king of Spain for the supreme Junta, and for all good Spaniards? As for Joseph Buonaparte, he is the blind and servile instrument of the ambitious and bloody views of the despot his brother; and under this point of view, he has neither authority nor power to delegate Satelo: he has no authority, because the Junta cannot, ought not, and will not acknowledge him for any thing; he has no power, because he is not at liberty to enter into any agreement, nor has he any force of his own to carry it into effect; thus it is that the negotiation proposed is ridiculous in the object, which it holds out; it is vicious and nugatory in its source, and insidious in its form; and consequently inadmissible and despicable.
SEVILLE GAZETTE, MAY 15. Letter of Don Joaquin Maria Satelo to General Cuesta.
MERIDA, May 9.
Most Excellent Sir,
I request your excellency to forward the adjoining letter to the Signior Vice President of the supreme central Junta, notwithstanding that I have lost all hopes of receiving an answer.
God preserve your excellency many years. (Signed) Joaquin Maria Satelo. To his excellency the Gen. in Chief of the army of Estremadura.
Satelo's Letter to the President of the Junta. MERIDA, May 9.
Most Excellent Sir,
I am informed by the reply which gen. Cuesta has made to my letter of the 27th of April, that unless my mission should have for its object the restoration of Ferdinand 7th, the supreme Junta has irrevocably determined not to answer me, nor listen to the means which I have to propose to mitigate the calamities of the nation. This is in my opinion as much as to say, that unless the evils which afflict Spain be removed by what alone the Junta considers an efficacious remedy, they will not suffer such expedients to be applied as would comport with the present circumstances; nor will they even condescend to examine what are those expedients, as to what is their object, and what effects they might produce. Whatever be the consequence of so inflexible a determination, it will not lessen the glory of those who have sought to alleviate the sufferings of our country, nor will it diminish their zeal to employ themselves constantly in promoting her happiness.
God preserve your excellency many years. (Signed) Joaquin Maria Satelo. To his excellency the Vice President of the Supreme Central Junta.
ORDER OF THE JUNTA TO GEN. CUESTA. Most Excellent Sir,
The supreme Junta of the government of the kingdom has seen the last letter which Don Joaquin Satelo has addressed to their president through you; and in conformity to their former resolution communicated to your excellency they have again resolved that no answer be made to him. I communicate the same to your excellency for your guidance and observance.
God preserve your excellency many years. (Signed) Martin de Garay. To his excellency Don Gregario Cuesta.
CALUMNY REFUTED.
To Jacob Wagner, Esq. Editor of the North American.
SWANSEA, July 25, 1809.
DEAR Sir - Being at Salem on the 22d inst. a Baltimore paper called The Whig, of the 12th, was put into my hands; and yesterday I received your paper of the 15th, noticing a publication in the Whig; in which it is suggested that through my nephew, Samuel Williams, in London, I had been concerting with the British minister, Mr. Canning, a separation of the eastern states from the union, by the aid and under the protection of Great Britain.
This slander (you say) was hinted at in the Whig some days before; and being now formally repeated by a correspondent of that paper, with names and circumstances, you express a hope that I shall look upon it as meriting my serious attention.
On my own account, I beg you to believe that I would not give this tale, which is stamped with imposture on the face of it, one moment's attention. - I have now lived 64 years, and during the greater part of 40 of them been engaged in publick affairs. My life and conversation, known to multitudes, are a shield against the attacks, alike false and malicious, of men who are not less the enemies of my country than of me. If any crime or vice could have been fastened upon me in my whole life, private or publick, in my youth, or even in my childhood, there are not wanting malignant enemies to do it, and announce the same to the world; and I have no desire to impose any restraint on their researches.
You know, my good Sir, the cause and the object of the publication in the Whig, and of the aspersions on my character in that and other common vehicles of lies throughout the United States. The exposure of the mal-administration of Mr. Jefferson, by an exhibition of introvertible facts relating to France and the embargo, has excited all the rancorous hatred of his unprincipled partisans. My first offence in this case, was the letter of February 6, 1808, to governor Sullivan. This your late excellent governor Wright, and his learned chancellor Kilty, and other great men assembled last winter at Annapolis were pleased to pronounce an "infamous letter," without attempting to point out a single error in the facts or reasonings it contains. It was easier and more in character for them to call names than to reason. Even my conjectures and suspicions, subsequent disclosures have served to confirm. My second offence consisted in the statement exhibited in my speech in the senate last November, on Mr. Hillhouse's resolution for repealing the embargo. These two publications, I have the heartfelt satisfaction to know, from the approving information of friends and the angry declarations of foes, have produced very happy effects. They have thrown some necessary light on the conduct and character of the late president's administration. This light has contributed to dissipate the mists of ignorance and error which concealed him from the view of many of my fellow-citizens. These at length saw that their implicit confidence in him had been misplaced. They saw that the embargo, which they had believed to be a wise and necessary measure, because he had recommended it, was worse than foolish - that it was impotent towards foreign nations and ruinous only to our own. A change, an essential change in the publick sentiment ensued; and democracy, which had identified itself with the embargo, trembled for its ill-gotten power. It foamed and raged against all who had lent their hands to strip the veil of deception from their chief and his measures.
But these unprincipled partisans have especially pointed out their venomous shafts at me. And why? Have not others advocated and supported the same facts and opinions? Have not others, in colours at least equally as strong exhibited the duplicity of the man and the pernicious character of his measures? Yes: but towards me old enmities are revived, and aggravate present resentments. Those enmities, indeed, were not less malicious than those recently manifested, and as destitute of just foundation - unless to speak freely the truth of men and measures must be so considered. I have also been held responsible for things in which I had no participation. For instance, just at the close of the late session of congress, Mr. Giles, speaking of the answers given by the late president Adams, (now the professed favourite of all good democrats) to the numerous addresses presented to him in 1793 and 1799, during our naval hostilities with France; he said that the most violent (and of course to him and his party the most offensive) of the president's answers were then ascribed to me as the writer; and that he (Mr. Giles) had made good use of them accordingly. I told him, as I now tell you and the world, that I did not write one of those answers. I presume they are all Mr. Adams' own.
But whatever may be the cause of the peculiar malignity of democrats towards me, the leading object of all their present reviling is, by attempting to ruin my reputation, to destroy the force of the publick statements which have been exhibited under the sanction of my name. If they could induce a general belief that I was deficient in truth, or engaged in any plot of conspiracy against the union or the interests of my country, their purpose would be accomplished. At the present moment they deem this particularly important in the state of Maryland, where the electioneering campaign, for the choice of delegates to your next house of representatives (although not to take place till October) is already opened. It is this consideration especially which induces me to take the trouble of writing this letter; and thus to preface the remarks I shall make on the publication in the Whig.
That publication, signed Z. Z. is one of the most impudent fabrications I have ever seen. The object of the writer is, to have it believed, that I authorized my nephew Samuel Williams, esq. late consul of the United States, and still residing in London, "to represent to Mr. Canning that it was the wish of the Eastern States to separate from the Union; that they wished to be informed how far they might calculate on the aid and protection of Great Britain, to enable them to effect an object so hazardous and so very important;" than which nothing can be more unfounded and false. I never wrote to my nephew, nor to any other person, any sentiments of that kind. And it is impossible he should have written them to Mr. Prebble, as the Whig represents; or for Mr. Williams is a man of spotless integrity.
General Smith (whose re-election into the senate of the United States these and other lies are intended eventually to promote) can hardly fail to know, as a merchant, the reputation of my nephew. Besides, an observation of his in the senate, near the close of the last winter session, led me to state in a few words, how Mr. Williams was brought into publick life. I think it material on this occasion to state it to the public.
John Paris, esq. an eminent merchant at Hamburg, had been appointed I believe the first consul of the United States at that port. In the progress of the French revolution, the directory were pleased to entertain suspicion that he was not only unfriendly to it; but that in his consular capacity he facilitated the passing of English, in the character of Americans, into France. They complained to Mr. Monroe, then our minister in France; and he has communicated their complaints to his own government; these were repeated. Mr. Monroe at the same time expressed his opinion that they were unfounded. Nevertheless, to avoid further trouble, and thinking it more important to satisfy the French
government than to continue Mr. Paris in office, the president (general Washington) concluded to substitute another person to be our consul at Hamburg. I then remarked to the president, that independently of the very respectable character of Mr. Paris, the United States were under great obligations to him for liberal and important benefits rendered by him at an early period of our revolution; and that it would be very desirable to make an appointment which should least hazard the wounding of his sensibility; and this would be, by avoiding the appointment of any foreigner to succeed him in that office. To this the president readily assented. I then spoke to Mr. Fitzsimmons in Philadelphia, and wrote to Mr. King in New York and to Mr. George Cabot in Boston, requesting them severally to make inquiry, and to inform me of some suitable person, a native citizen, who might be appointed consul of the United States at Hamburg. After some time Mr. Fitzsimmons told me that his inquiries were fruitless; and Mr. King wrote me to the same effect from New York. At length Mr. Cabot informed me, that the merchants in Boston whom he had consulted, agreed in recommending Mr. Williams, in preference to any other person. Mr. Williams was then in Europe, and received the appointment. How correctly he discharged his duties the American merchants trading to Hamburg, and others who had occasion to call upon him there can testify.
After some time the consulate at London becoming vacant by the retirement of Mr. Johnson, Mr. Williams, at the request of Mr. King, then minister of the United States in London, and of Mr. Gore, one of our commissioners there for liquidating and adjusting American claims for British spoliations, was transferred from Hamburg to the London consulate. In this office he was actively employed in the statement and prosecution of those claims; and the ability, diligence and fidelity with which he conducted them are well known to the great numbers of our fellow citizens who are claimants.
At length Mr. Jefferson's reign commenced - and then Mr. Williams, with many other men, alike incorruptible, was turned out of office.
Such is the manner of receiving his appointments, and such the character of Samuel Williams, whom I am proud to call my nephew; but to whom the editor of the Whig, or his infamous correspondent, has ascribed the execution of the nefarious project above mentioned.
Here I might stop. But it may be useful to examine the publication in question; to show to the most inattentive readers, that it is in itself as unworthy of belief, as it is abominable in its design.
First, it is said, that "the Whig, some days before, had touched on a subject highly important to the United States, to wit, an intrigue carried on between a Mr. S. W. and Mr. Canning, for the purpose of effecting a separation of the U. States." Then a libeller, Z. Z. assuming the appearance of a new correspondent, and pretending to know more of the subject than the editor of the Whig; and also to be acquainted with the gentlemen the initials of whose names the Whig had given, undertakes to detail the whole progress of the plot.
"S. W. [he says] is Samuel Williams, a nephew of col Pickering, formerly consul in London, displaced by Mr. Jefferson, and a most implacable enemy to the present administration."
[My nephew is not of a nature to be implacable towards any of the human race - except the incorrigibly wicked and abandoned. Mr. Monroe was intimately acquainted with Mr. Williams in London; and to Mr. Monroe I must take leave to refer all doubting democrats, for testimony of the purity of Williams' character. There will be few, if any, of these; and of federalists not one.]
The statement goes on: "The P. [who it seems is Mr. Prebble] to whom the letter was written by Mr. Williams, is also of Massachusetts, had been consul at Cadiz, and was displaced by Mr. Jefferson." [A strong prima facie evidence that Mr. Prebble was an honest man] "he (Mr. Prebble) was at Paris when he received the letter alluded to, to wit, in June or July 1808. Mr. Prebble is not a man of talents, but Williams is."
[Now mark the folly of the libeller. He represents Mr. Williams, a man of talents, in London, as communicating (and without any conceivable motive) to a weak man in Paris, the particulars of an intrigue which he is carrying on in London, with the British minister! an intrigue, too, which Mr. Williams himself is represented as considering to be alike "hazardous and important"!]
The libel proceeds: "The other Mr. P. to whom you allude is a Mr. Parker, also of Boston, a man of talents and fortune, who loves his country, and although his connections are of the Essex Junto, he was struck with horror, and considered himself compelled by the love he bore his native land, to give a detailed statement of the contents of the letter to the consul general, who communicated the information to gen. Armstrong then in Switzerland."
[The Mr. Parker here named, is, I suppose, Daniel Parker, formerly of Massachusetts, whom I once knew. He is undoubtedly a man of sense, and one of the most capital speculators in the world - For the operations of such a genius, the French revolution presented an inviting scene. Mr. Parker has been absent I believe full twenty years; not charged by his country with any publick office; but seeking merely his own emolument. If he loved his "native land" better than he loves France, he would probably return and enjoy his "fortune" here. As to his connections, if he has any in the United States, I know not to what party they belong.]
The libel goes on: "The General [Mr. Armstrong] on his return to Paris, ascertained the contents of the letter by the testimony of Mr. Parker and one or two other gentlemen who were present when Mr. Prebble read the letter."
[Mark again the folly of this libeller. He states that Mr. Prebble received the letter from Mr. Williams, in Paris in June or July 1808, and that gen. Armstrong ascertained its contents as above mentioned. At least a year, then, has elapsed since this traitorous "intrigue" was disclosed to him, and since he had taken evidence of its existence. And yet in all that time he has never communicated that evidence to the department of state! Or if communicated, why was I not arrested when at Washington? Or if the proper penalty for this offence was expulsion from the Senate, why was it not inflicted in their last session? It is but four weeks since I left Washington; and surely the preceding eleven months had afforded gen. Armstrong ample time to have made a communication of so important a fact. If he has neglected it, the neglect is certainly very criminal. If Robert Smith the secretary of state, and brother to general Smith, had received the communication, he too must have been strangely and criminally negligent, in not laying it before the President; and the president, it must be presumed, would not have omitted to do his duty. Or will it be said that such a communication from Armstrong has been received since the adjournment of congress? Why then I say the administration have had time enough to have taken their measures, and to have ordered the proper process to secure my person to answer for the offence.]
But I must beg pardon for descending to such minuteness. I do it, that the least informed may have every doubt removed. For I learn that some men who pretend to a degree of understanding, affect a mysterious air about this matter, and shaking their heads would make bystanders imagine there was something in it.
As I said above, the obvious design of this publi-

election in the Whig to be subserve gen. Smith's event- ual re-election to the Senate: And altho' I would not undertake to say what sacrifices the general would make to insure his success; yet I am not disposed to ascribe the origin of this libel to him: nevertheless he and other partisans in your city and neighbour- hood will patronise and support the paper in which such lies are eagerly received and circulated.
The fact is, the whole statement is a string of lies. Neither Preble, nor Parker, nor the Consul Gen- eral, nor general Armstrong, could ever have heard one word upon the subject. For it is impossible they should have knowledge of an intrigue which never had existence. The Consul General, more- over, Mr. Skipwith, is now in the United States;— and if no enquiry were made, yet, if he had ever heard of this terrible plot, he would not have failed himself to have given direct information of it to the government.
Perhaps I have spent too much time in exposing the folly as well as the falsehood of the consummately base and malignant Whig libeller; yet I will add one more observation; and that possibly you may think might have superceded all the preceding remarks: it is this: That if the plot so circumstantially detail- ed had any existence, it must (as I have already shown) have come to the knowledge of our govern- ment; and no genuine democrat will be willing to believe me to be such a favourite with the adminis- tration that any member of it would be disposed to conceal that knowledge from the people of the Unit- ed States. Now an official publication of such a conspiracy would have flashed conviction on all their followers throughout the United States; and might have raised doubts among my federal fellow-citizens and friends. This plain and easy course, too, would abridge the labours of democratic editors and their correspondents, who are daily employed in forging slanders and lies to destroy my reputation; and thus, also, save some wear and tear of conscience.
I must subjoin one word respecting yourself, and intreat you not to omit it in your publication of this letter. You, like other active friends of truth and your country, are assailed by slanders abroad as well as at home. Yes, Everett, the editor of the paper called the Boston Patriot, noticing the publication of Z. Z. in the Whig, and affecting some concern for my reputation, and to wish "at least for the sake of our country to see my integrity freed from the sus- picion which (he says) must rest upon it while the charge [the false, absurd and foolish tale of Z. Z.] is supposed to circulate without notice" extracts your remarks on that profligate publication from your North American, which this fellow calls "a mouth piece of the British faction in Baltimore." Probably you are acquainted with this Everett. Mr. Coleman I see calls him "Everett the pettifogger and apos- tate." On my way home lately from Washington, I learnt from authentic source, so much of his histo- ry as is pertinent to notice. He was a lawyer in N. Hampshire, and before the change in the adminis- tration of the general government from federalism to democracy, was a zealous federalist, and in that character furnished a number of pieces which were published in the Farmer's Museum then edited by Joseph Dennie, Esq. now better known as the editor of the Port Folio. Here you see the ground of Mr. Coleman's description of the editor of the Boston Pa- triot. A newspaper so edited is the proper recepta- cle for the effusions of every malignant apostate.
But as to yourself, the editor of a newspaper, whose object in its moral and political departments, is to support the cause of truth and the best interests of the United States, it is expedient, it is right that the citizens of the United States and especially of Mary- land, should know the opinion expressed of your- worth by Mr. Madison now president of the United States. Federalists will not require his testimony; other citizens are bound by their professions to res- pect it. I confess it was particularly gratifying to me who had introduced you to the place of chief clerk in the department of state. I had also been always pleased that Mr. Madison practically abjuring the intolerant spirit and conduct of Mr. Jefferson, re- tained you and other federal clerks whom he found in his office. He knew you were a federalist—and believed you to be an incorruptible and unchangeable one. This inviolable stability was to him a pledge of your fidelity; and he accordingly retained you for years; as long as you were willing to remain in the department.
I think it was about a year before you resigned your clerkship, that Mr. Hillehouse and I having dined with Mr. Madison and remaining after the rest of the company had withdrawn, he conversed with an en- gaging sociability. In the course of the evening he introduced your name; and in the handsomest terms of approbation and praise described to us your char- acter and efficiency in his office; concluding his eulogy with these remarkable words, "in short he is fit for secretary of state."
I again entreat you not to omit, this testimony of Mr. Madison in your favour. It is solely on publick account that I make the request, &c.
I remain dear Sir, With sincere affection and respect, Your friend, TIMOTHY PICKERING.
New-York, August 3. The Mayor of this city has issued a proclamation, interdicting under heavy penalties, intercourse with the inhabitants of Brooklyn, on account of the pre- valence there of a pestilential or infectious disease.
Capt. Hathaway, of the brig Orange, sailed from Oporto the 28th June. He informs, that it was re- ported at Oporto, that the British and Portuguese ar- mies were at Castel Branco on the 24th June, in pursuit of a French army under the command of gen. Vic- tor. Soult's army was said to be in Spain. Only 600 of the rear-guard of Soult, and 20 pieces of can- non, had been taken by the British army. On the 26th and 27th June, 1800 French prisoners were em- barked at Oporto for England. There were no French troops in Portugal.

Correspondence between the minister of Joseph Buonaparte and the Supreme Junta of Spain.—We have procured a translation from our Spanish papers, of this interesting correspondence, of which we had heard, but which we have not before seen in print.— The language and the sentiments of the Junta, must bring freshly to the recollection of every patriotic American, the language and sentiments of that Illus- trious body, commonly termed "the Old Congress," when under similar circumstances. Our firm and patriotick fathers, refused to treat, without the ac- knowledgment of our independence, or the evacua- tion of our country, by the British fleets and ar- mies. The Spaniards, with equal wisdom and firm- ness, insist on the evacuation of their country by the French troops, and the restoration of their king, as without those two points being conceded, any nego- tiation would be useless, for those two objects no equivalent could be offered in negotiation.—We have always felt a confidence in the ultimate success of the Spanish cause, and circumstances every day increas- es our confidence.

New-York, August 3. From the New-York Evening Post. LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By the arrival of the brig Statira, Geer, 42 days from London, the Editor of the New-York Even- ing Post, is put in possession of a file of London papers to the 19th of June inclusive, and we are indebted for it to the politeness of a gentleman pas- senger. Nothing further comes from the conti- nent, except an official account of the English successes in Portugal, in the Times of the 12th, which will be given to-morrow.
The most interesting article they contain is a debate in the house of commons, respecting Mr. Erskine's arrangement. It is too long to give this evening, or even an outline. In answer to a call for Mr. Erskine's justification, Mr. Canning, after declaring repeat- edly that Mr. Erskine had violated his instruc- tions, and intimated that Mr. Erskine had received verbal assurances from our secretary on which he had relied, unwarrantably relied, Mr. Canning said: "Had Mr. Erskine transmitted to ministers the treaty, before he concluded it, their disappointment of such an arrangement would have been immediate- ly expressed, and there never would have been a ques- tion of such a nature before the house. Mr. Erskine would have been instructed to have set it right, as he was sure no disposition existed on the part of go- vernment to take it out of his hands. But the treaty being concluded as it was, they had only to adopt it, or not adopt it; and not adolting it, they were bound to prove, that it had been concluded contrary to the instructions they had given. Thus situated they were compelled to make the disclosure which had been made, but to go farther, to communicate every circumstance at present might tend to embar- rass and mar the negotiations still pending between the two countries, which he still cherished a hope would be finally terminated to the satisfaction of both parties."
Lord Petty of the opposition, who had moved for the papers, said in answer:— "From the speech of the right honourable gentle- man he felt subject of congratulation, in learning that a negotiation was now pending; as I as it was not his intention or his wish to throw any impediments in its way, he hoped the house would agree with him in delaying the productions of those papers, the neces- sity of which it was his object to convince honour- able gentlemen of."
LONDON, June 14. We this day received Swedish papers to the 7th inst. The account of the successes of the Austrians on the 21st and 22nd ult. had reached Gottenburg, and an extra Courier had arrived the day before, stating, that gen. Kollowrath had passed the Danube near Linz, and taken 6000 prisoners—that the generals Jellachich and Chasteler had joined their forces with those of gen. Kollowrath, and shared in the success.
Intelligence had also reached Gottenburg on the 6th, stating that the archduke John had resumed his command, and had beaten the enemy near Villa Franca, and that letters from Copenhagen of the 2d inst. had been received, confirming all the forego- ing information.
In consequence of the taking off the embargo an immense number of American ships sailed for Eng- land, about 70 of them arrived in this country. We stop the press to state, that a letter has just been received from capt. Hope, of the navy, now cruizing in the Baltic, which says, that he had just received an account, which he most firmly believed to be true, containing the important intelligence that Buonaparte had recrossed the Danube with 80,000 men, with the full determination of annihilating the archduke Charles's army; that an action took place, and terminated in the complete defeat of the French, with the loss of 30,000 men.
We felt it our duty to stop the press yesterday ev- ening to communicate to our readers the above re- port, coming from such respectable authority: we hear, however, that the letter relates to the battles of the 21st and 22nd.
June 19. It has been said that the king of Prussia has come to the determination to make one more struggle for his existence as a prince. Rumour even says, that a manifesto with which he announces and justifies the step, is arrived in England, and pretended copies of it were circulated on Saturday. In this instrument, we are informed, that Frederick William has stated the numerous grievances to which he has been exposed by Napoleon, in the occupation of his fortresses by foreign troops, in the detention of his soldiers, in the exorbitant contributions required of his states, and in many other instances, in which the treaty which terminated the late war has been violated.
Prussia has been actually engaged in concentrating her forces, and with this design she has withdrawn her troops from the eastern provinces to Berlin and Frankfort on the Oder. Buonaparte seems to have anticipated the purposes of Prussia, when he or- dered to be assembled an army under marshal Kel- lerman in the convenient situation of Thuringia, whe- ther for northern or southern operations. This force is now stated to consist of 38,000 infantry and 7,000 cavalry, which was a much more considerable army than would have been required merely for suppres- sing the insurgents in the districts of the Aller, the Elbe, and the Oder.
The Dutch papers give us some information with respect to the Austrian armies. Nothing had trans- pired of importance to the 2d inst. and the arch- dukes Ferdinand and John were hastening their mar- ches, and three days' march to that date, it was expected that they would join the grand army.
From the New-York Commercial Advertiser. By the arrival of the brig Statira, capt. Geer, in 40 days from London, we have received Bell's Messenger of the 18th of June, from which we ex- tract the following articles.
SAXONBURG, June 8. On the 25th ult. Schill entered this place, making an altogether unexpected attack;—and on the 1st the united Danish and Dutch troops advanced to de- liver the city. Schill seeing that no resource was left for him, resolved to defend himself stoutly, and convert Stralsund into a second Saragossa. The town was defended by 27 pieces of cannon. But the Danes and Dutch entered the place by assault, and the battle was fought in the streets. In every street were dead bodies. Schill in despair sent to the town hall and demanded sulphur and pitch to set the place on fire. This was refused him. A musket ball killed him in the Fahlstrasse, and his body was carried to the town hall. Those of his troops who were able made their escape. Many prisoners were taken, 500 were killed. The Dutch lament the loss of their general, Carteret, and two colonels, and some other officers.
Yesterday evening the body of Schill was buried privately. A monument is to be erected before Stralsund in memory of this officer.
PRAGUE, May 29. The following has been published here: Letter from his majesty the emperor and king to the archduke Charles, generalissimo.
"Dear Brother Charles—I did, it is true, yester- day express to you in person, my warmest thanks for the glorious victory you have gained; but this is not sufficient for my heart. I say it now, and I shall repeat it on every occasion, because I, whom divine providence made the sovereign of a great monarchy, am utterly unable to reward you, my dear brother, your companions in arms, and my brave army, ac- cording to your deserts. It was reserved for you, the brother of my heart, the prime support of my throne, to interrupt, for the first time these fifteen years, the good fortune of the adversary. You are the saviour of the country, which, as well as the mon- arch, will eternally thank and bless you. With deep sensibility I yesterday observed the elevated courage and enthusiasm of the troops, and many resolution to assure by victory the independ- ence of the monarchy. It was the sweetest moment of my life; a rare and heart-enlivening spectacle, and one which can never be eradicated from my mind. I beg you, dear brother, to declare this to my brave army and to do every thing to preserve this rare spirit among them."
From the N. Y. Mercantile Advertiser. Yesterday arrived at this port, the brig Statira, capt. Geer, in 40 days from London, which place she left on the 21st of June. From captain G. and his passengers, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received a regular file of London papers to the 20th of June inclusive. By the Statira, we learn, that the British minister, Mr. Jackson, had not sailed for America; but that he was about sailing in a sloop of war for America. The Phoenix frigate was ordered for some other service. Our commercial friends will find, that a great num- ber of American vessels have arrived in British ports. The captain of the Statira is the bearer of despatches from the American minister in London to the government of the United States.
LONDON, June 19. This morning arrived a mail from Heligoland, by which we have received the following: "Banks of the Elbe, June 2. The Austrian head-quarters are, according to private accounts received this morning, at Lintz. The emperor Francis, previous to the battle of Aspern, received proposals from Napoleon, to con- clude a truce on certain conditions, which overture he instantly forwarded to the archduke Charles, who returned it with the following note: "Brother, take my marshal's staff from me, and let me rather know the Austrian name no more, nor yours, but let me retire with my brother to Hunga- ry." The duke of Valmy, Kellerman, has, it is said, received orders to occupy Prussia."
LONDON, June 14. Two very important reports have got into circu- lation. It was confidently stated on Saturday, that the king of Prussia had declared war against France, and it was at the same time asserted, that another battle had been fought on the left bank of the Da- nube, in which Buonaparte had proved successful.— The former of these reports obtained considerable credit in the city, and letters containing what was stated to be the substance of his Prussian majesty's declaration were shown. It was obstinately, however, that differences so material in these descriptions of the pretended Prussian manifesto, that no reliance could be placed on the accuracy of any of them.— The arrival of the young prince of Orange in this country has tended, we believe to spread an opinion that the king of Prussia has resolved to take a part in the war against France; and it is said, that he has been determined to take this course, in conse- quence of Buonaparte having expressed himself dis- satisfied with all the explanations that have been of- fered by the cabinet of Koningsberg, respecting the conduct of Schill.
The rumour, however, must be accompanied by better evidence than any that has yet been adduced in its support, before the doubts which it is calcula- ted to excite can be removed. If the King of Prus- sia has determined to go to war, it is probably in consequence of a conviction that Buonaparte has re- solved to strip him of the small remains of power he has still left. It must be a last effort of despair. With regard to the latter report, it is certainly not improbable that a battle has taken place on the Da- nube; but the authority for that fact is not better than that for the Prussian declaration of war. The rumour is stated in letters from Holland, and is said to be corroborated by a gentleman who arrived on Friday at Harwich, in a neutral vessel, from the Continent.
Colonel Washington Morton, a gentleman of very considerable influence in America, arrived at Port- mouth, from London, last week, in six hours, and sailed with despatches of great importance from Mr. Pinckney, the American Minister, to General Ar- mstrong, at Paris.
We understand that Government is making vigo- rous preparations to equip another armament. Re- inforcements are daily proceeding to Portugal, both from this country and Ireland; and it is said espe- cially that cavalry is to be forwarded, the want of which has been so loudly complained of in every part of the peninsula. An opinion is likewise en- tertained, that Government purposes to send suc- cours in arms, and possibly in men too, to the insur- gents in Germany.
June 20. A Telegraphic Dispatch yesterday afternoon was received at the Admiralty from Plymouth, stating that the French had been forced out of St. Andero. This event was naturally to be expected from pre- vious accounts of the condition of the enemy in the North of Spain, and we trust soon to hear that they have been entirely driven from the Asturias and Galicia.

VERY LATE FROM STRALSUND. Arrival of the Marine, Captain Meyer. Yesterday afternoon arrived at this port, the dis- patch ship Marine, captain Meyer, from the island of Rügen, passed off 30 days from Copenhagen, in which place she left the 1st of July. Mr. Malby Greville, is the bearer of despatches for government, and proceeds to Washington this morning. Captain Ward has obligeingly favoured the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of Paris pa- pers to the 4th of July. The dates from the French army in Germany are to the 24th of June, and com- prise the 22d bulletin, at which time the emperor Napoleon had his head quarters at Vienna. The town of Raab capitulated on the 23d of June to gen. Lauriston, and the terms of the capitulation occupy nearly the whole of the last bulletin.
We learn verbally, that no battle had taken place between the French and Austrian grand armies, since the 21st and 22d of May; but that both the emperor of France and the archduke Charles were reinforcing and concentrating their armies; and that a great battle was shortly expected to take place. We further learn that the emperor of Russia had sent three large armies to assist the emperor Na- poleon, (one of which was commanded by the prince Suwaroff, (probably a relation of the late general Suwaroff of infamous memory) and that they were marching through Galicia on their way to the French army. Prussia had not declared in favour of France. Mr. Washington Morton had arrived in Paris with despatches from our minister at the court of Saint James for general Armstrong.
We are further informed, that two or three Ame- rican vessels had recently arrived at Amsterdam; but we are ignorant whether any change has taken place in the decrees of France favourable to the in- terests of the United States. Col. Burr had arrived at Stockholm, from England.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York.
Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall-Street.
PROPOSALS
For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise. FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
The Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an unexpected moment, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this Institution; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public.
No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified. The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire.
No. I.
HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS.
Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. II.
HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS.
Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. III.
HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS.
Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
No. IV.
HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS.
Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk.
Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, maybe insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, or other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security:—But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required.
Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Maltsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance.
I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described.
II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy otherwise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect.

IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.
V. No loss will be considered as made or binding, until the Premium is paid.

Persons insuring Property with this Company, and who have already made other insurance on the same property, shall give notice thereof in writing, at the Company's Office, before, or at the time of the execution of the Policy; and persons who, after insuring Property with this Company, have insurance made on the same property elsewhere, shall, with all reasonable diligence, notify the same in writing at the Office of the Company, and have the same endorsed on the policy, or otherwise acknowledged in writing; in default whereof, the Policy shall be void, and be of no effect; and in case of loss, each party insuring shall be liable to the payment of a rateable proportion of the loss or damage which may be sustained.
VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever.
VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured.
IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals, or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy.
X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall make out, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or very likely believe, that he, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, and without fraud or artifice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and, until such affidavit and certificate are produced, the loss shall not be paid: Also, if there appears any fraud, of
the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution or payment, by virtue of his policy.
XI. In case any difference shall arise, touching any loss or damage, it may be submitted to the judgment of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when any loss or damage shall happen, the company shall pay for the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever.
XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
The Subscriber being appointed Surveyor for the Eagle Fire Company, upon application, will survey, and value, such buildings, (or property contained therein) upon which Insurance may be required.

Two Valuable FARMS for Sale.
I offer the following Valuable Property for Sale, viz. my Farm in Harvey's Neck, and a Tract of Land lying on the N. E. side of Perquimans River, containing 106 acres (directly opposite the Farm), one other Tract containing 200 acres, lying on the S. W. side of said river, about four miles above the Farm, both these tracts are well timbered.
I will also sell the FARM on which I live, and my wharf and Lots in Edenton, with the improvements. The Farm in Harvey's Neck contains 220 acres, 200 of which are cleared and in a high state of cultivation; in point of fertility of soil, it is not surpassed by any in this part of the state, the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of Wheat and Indian Corn, Wheat in particular, the White Clover grows (almost spontaneously) in the greatest abundance. I have made on this farm in one season from 50,000 hills, 320 barrels of Corn; this place is situated on the S. W. bank of Perquimans River, near the mouth of it, a delightful prospect, in an agreeable neighbourhood; on it is a convenient Dwelling-House, with every necessary out-house. The two Tracts on the fame river are considered as appendages to this Farm, for the purpose of supplying it with rail timber, &c. This is an excellent well of water, and the situation is considered to be as healthy as any in that part of the country; with the farm may be had from 15 to 20 good order Negroes, 100 head of sheep, 150 head of hogs, 40 or 50 head of cattle, horses, oxen, and all the farming utensils, &c.
The Farm on which I live, contains 500 acres, 200 of which are cleared and under good fence and in prime order, the rest is covered with good timber; the soil is well adapted to the cultivation of wheat and corn, and with very little labour from 30 to 40 acres might be cultivated in Rice to great advantage; it is supposed (and I have no doubt of it) that this place would admit of having one of the best Herring and Shad Fisheries in this state, and could be carried on very extensively at a small expense; the situation is excelled by none, it lies on the bank of Albemarle Sound, being the N. E. point of the bay of Edenton, 4 miles by water and 5 by land from the town; it is an elevated situation and very healthy; there is on the Farm a convenient Dwelling-House and every necessary out-house, a most excellent well of water, a number of choice fruit trees, and a large garden newly inclosed, which affords the greatest abundance of vegetables of every kind necessary for family use. This Farm is a most desirable situation for a gentleman who wishes to retire with his family on a country seat. With the Farm may be had from 10 to 20 valuable negroes, 75 to 100 head of sheep, 50 head of cattle, 100 to 200 head of hogs, horses, oxen, and every necessary implement of husbandry.
The Wharf and Lots in Edenton is one of the best situations in town for shipping business and a retail store; a large new Ware-House three stories high, stands on the head of the wharf, and several other houses. The property will be shown, and the terms (which will be very moderate) will be known by applying to me.
