WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC. 13, 1809.
By the very fast-sailing ship Woodrop Sims, Captain Haynes, from London (twenty-eight days from the land) we have received files of London papers of the 15th of November. These papers do not furnish us with intelligence of importance; such as appeared of most interest we have selected and given in this day's paper.
The accounts of peace between France and Austria were officially confirmed, but the terms had not been disclosed, a circumstance which occasioned a belief that they were not so humiliating to the latter as had been stated, but that circumstance does not appear sufficient to warrant such a belief. The terms were expected to be disclosed by Buonaparte to his senate in a few days, and we have no doubt they will be found as humiliating as the Napoleonites could wish. The French army were to remain in the north of Europe, and in consequence another conscription was ordered. This has the appearance of other wars being in contemplation; as it cannot be presumed that an augmentation of force was necessary for Spain and the Tyrol, the latter still held out, the former will be noticed presently. The establishment of a kingdom composed of Poland, and some of the countries adjacent, under the protection of France will be the first object, which will be to Russia, if necessary, what Bavaria and Wurtemberg have been to Austria, means of her destruction in the hands of Napoleon. The fate of Turkey will be decided before another year.
The affairs of Spain do not appear so desperate as had been supposed. It appears that the mass of the people want neither patriotism nor courage, but there is a want of vigour in the councils of the nation, which has been productive of all its misfortunes. We have a detailed account of the relief of Gerona, by general Blake, in which much skill and valour were displayed, it is too long to insert in this paper. The French troops (or the troops in the service of France) in Spain, have deserted in considerable numbers. Upon the whole, we believe the war in Spain will give Napoleon some trouble, though it is being too sanguine to doubt his ultimate success, unless he is some otherwise occupied.
In England the publick attention seem divided between the dispute with John Bull and the Managers of Covent Garden Theatre, and the celebration of the Jubilee. We have given some political sketches from the most respectable Journals. From all that we see and hear, it does not appear that the present administration can stand until the meeting of parliament. A few minor changes were made in the present ministry; lord Palmerston has been made secretary of war, but these changes indicate a want of stability, and we have no doubt before the end of the year that lord Grenville will be in power. The duke of Portland died on the 4th of November. Great solicitude prevailed in England respecting Mr. Jackson's mission; a favourable result was not anticipated, judging from the publications in this country, which were copied into the English prints with some exaggerations.
Accounts were received in London on the 5th of November, that Talleyrand was dead.
The passengers in the Woodrop Sims, and letters by her, state that an immense number of vessels from France and Holland had arrived in England in October, with products of those countries, particularly wheat from the former, and were loading with colonial, American, and British goods. These were some Dutch and French under Papenburg colours, with some under their own colours and Americans. These vessels return to France and Holland, and the insurance on them, taking the risk of seizure in port was only seven per cent. Here we see the folly of commercial restrictions, when opposed to the wants and habits of nations.
Late letters from England say, that a vessel from Virginia carried into France, regularly cleared for Toningen had been released, the captors paying costs.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, December 7.
Mr. Seybert observed that on the 5th day of Dec. 1795, the original report of the secretary of the treasury (general Alexander Hamilton) on the subject of manufactures was ordered to lie on the table. He said it was a document which contained much important matter and did honour to its author. He conceived it might be made the basis on which an important structure might be raised. He therefore moved that it should be printed for the use of the members of the house. Agreed to.
CHALLENGES, DUELS, &c.
Mr. Bacon said he held in his hands three propositions which he deemed it his duty to submit to the house. They were not for the regulation of the great concerns with foreign nations, but for the necessary object of regulating themselves. It would be seen that these resolutions had not grown out of any personal considerations, nor out of any particular case, but out of the serious evils to which the house had been exposed by the want of such regulations from the commencement of the government. In 1796, the evil had risen to such a height that the house had unequivocally expressed its opinion on it. Mr. Bacon said he felt it his duty to express his sense on the subject by laying the resolutions on the table, and more particularly as he understood that the subject was now agitated in the committee appointed to draft rules and orders for the government of the house. He would merely remark that the resolution might not be correct in form, or they might be altogether erroneous in principle. He was not anxious as to the particular form; but he was decidedly in favour of the general object, and wished to take the sense of the house upon it. For himself he was well prepared to act on them; but for the convenience of others he wished them to lie on the table.
By concurrent vote of the report of a committee, of which Mr. Madison was chairman, on the subject of a letter from Mr. Gunn to Mr. Goldsmith, both members of congress; as well as in the case of Mr. Preston's resolution.
Resolved, That the committee appointed to report on the rules and orders for the government of the house, do report a rule declaring, "That if any member in the course of debate shall make use of opprobrious or defamatory language with respect to any member, or call into question the integrity of his motives, or those of either branch of the government in relation to the discharge of his official duties; except a motion for the impeachment or for other interposition of the constitutional powers of this house—apply to either indecorous or reproachful expressions—it shall be deemed a breach of the orders of the house."
That said committee be instructed further to report a rule declaring, "That if any person during the session of congress, whether a member of the house or not, shall give or send to any other member during his actual attendance at the seat of government, a challenge to fight a duel, or if the member so challenged shall accept the same, it shall be deemed a breach of the privileges of the house, as well on the part of such members as on that of any other person whether a member or not, who shall be aiding, abetting or assisting in giving or sending such challenge, or in carrying the same into effect, and every such member shall be held liable to be expelled from the house therefor."
That said committee be further instructed to report a rule declaring—"That if any person during the session of congress, whether a member of the house or not, shall commit personal violence or assault upon any member during his actual attendance at the seat of government, it shall be deemed a breach of the privileges of the house, as well on the part of the person so assaulting, as on that of any other person who shall be aiding, abetting, or assisting therein, and such person, if a member, shall be held liable to be punished therefor, at the discretion of the house."
Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Macon observed that the committee appointed to draft rules and regulations for the government of the house would sit on Saturday.
Mr. Bacon then said he should call for the consideration of his motion to morrow.
ABOLITION OF DRAWBACKS, &c.
Mr. Van Horn said that on Friday last a gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Macon) had moved several resolutions, and in the course of his observations had mentioned a wish, if he had been correctly understood, to adopt something like a navigation act for the United States. Mr. Van Horn said he accorded cheerfully in that idea. It was time that their attention was turned to the powers which the constitution had given to congress, and that they no longer suffered the time and patience of the nation to be exhausted in treating about treaty-making; for, as to making a treaty by which commerce could be regulated whilst the war continued in Europe he had no expectation of it. He thought something must be done by congress which should go to aid the commercial as well as agricultural interests of the country. When he spoke of the commercial interest, he meant that connected with the agricultural interest, and not that which grew out of the war in Europe, and which our merchants would wholly lose in time of peace. He had five resolutions to present, of which he would briefly state the substance. The first he said went to give to the shipping of the United States the exclusive exportation of articles the growth produce or manufacture of the United States. The second proposed to confine American shipping to the exportation of articles the growth, produce or manufacture of the United States only. The third, by laying a discriminating duty, would, give to American traders an advantage over foreign merchants in supplying us with such foreign articles as should be necessary for our consumption. The fifth went to repeal or modify the laws respecting drawbacks. That these laws were very deficient every one must believe who reflected that the same drawback was allowed on all foreign articles exported, of whatever description, whether such as were manufactured or grown in the United States or otherwise. Without further remarks he offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting the exportation from ports or places under the jurisdiction of the United States of any article the growth, produce or manufacture of the United States—except in ships or vessels owned and wholly navigated by citizens of the U. States.
Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting the exportation from ports or places under the jurisdiction of the United States, in ships or vessels belonging to the United States, of any articles which is not the growth, produce or manufacture of the U. States.
Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of laying an additional discriminating duty in favour of ships owned and wholly navigated by citizens of the U. States.
Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting American ships and vessels from carrying articles the growth, produce or manufacture of any foreign country from any foreign port or place to another foreign port or place.
Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of modifying or repealing the laws allowing a drawback.
Mr. Smilie wished these resolutions to lie on the table and be printed. He suggested to the gentleman the propriety of committing them to the committee of foreign relations instead of the committee of commerce and manufactures. If it was the opinion of the former committee that the nation is not now to take a hostile attitude, he had no doubt that the very subject embraced by those resolutions would be the object of its consideration.
Mr. Van Horn said he had no choice as to what committee they should go to; indeed he would almost prefer any other committee than the committee of commerce and manufactures—and yet he had a high opinion of the gentlemen composing the committee; but, as they came generally from commercial towns, they might not be prepossessed in favour of the propositions, because it was usual and natural for gentlemen concerned in mercantile transactions to believe that almost the whole world depended on them.
Mr. Newton suggested the propriety of an early disposition of the resolutions, that whatever committee they were referred to might have them immediately under consideration.
The resolutions were ordered to be printed and to lie on the table. Adjourned.

Late Foreign Intelligence,
From Papers received by the Ship Woodrop Sims, Captain Haynes, in 30 days from London.
LONDON, November 5,
A week has very seldom passed more barren of intelligence. Buonaparte, however, has arrived in the immediate neighbourhood of Paris, and the next arrival of French papers will, doubtless, bring matter of some interest. In the mean time, the following are the only conditions of the treaty which are in any degree known, and, perhaps, it is saying too much, when we state even these as certain. The reports, however, on this head, are certainly not improbable, and, being repeated from so many quarters, have something of the air of truth.
The cession of Galicia.
The cession of Piume, Trieste and Istria, which are to be joined to the kingdom of Italy.
Piume and Trieste (other accounts state) are merely to be possessed in common by the French and Austrians, until the restoration of peace with England.
Bavaria obtains an extent of territory as far as Lintz.
The grand duke of Wurtzburg is to be the sovereign of the Tyrol and Salzburg.
Bavaria is to be indemnified by a part of the Wurtzburg territory.
It is also said that the frontiers of the Duchy of Warsaw will be extended to the Soan.
We are inclined to believe, however, that the cession of Austria have not stopped here. Russia has certainly interposed her weight and influence, to prevent the extinction of the house Lorraine—but France has accomplished as much as necessary to her own security, when she has thus reduced the emperor of Austria into a condition but little superior to that of the king of Prussia.
According to the detached articles in the French papers, the war of Spain, if so it may be called, gives very little trouble or concern to Buonaparte, or his ministers. Within a few weeks we shall most probably have lord Wellington in England, and such will be the profit & issue of this foolish & extensive business. Surely, lord Wellington, and his brother, may hereafter be considered as tried men. This Spanish campaign, and the Spanish mission, were wholly their own—they undertook for it, and were responsible for it; yet such is one of the men who is now invited to become the head of the new administration. Government, we suppose, have occasionally their Lusus Natura—bodies with the heads where the tails should be.
On Friday a Heligoland mail arrived, by which we have received the Privilegirte Histe der Boyen Halle in regular series, with other German papers to the 22d ult. From these sources of information we learn some further particulars respecting the treaty between Austria and France, but they merely relate to the incidental articles in which other princes are concerned, not to the essential matter of discussion in which the interests of the high contracting parties were involved. What relates to Galicia and the ports and provinces of the Adriatic, we have already mentioned. We are now told that Charles Theodore is, at the expense of Austria, to extend his territories eastward to the fortress of Lintz, and to exchange with the grand duke of Wurtzburg the Tyrol and Salzburg for a part of the hereditary domains of that principality. Frederic Augustus is also to be remunerated for his reasonable exertions in favour of Buonaparte in the late war, and for this purpose the territories of the Duchy of Warsaw are to be enlarged southward to the confines of the Red Russia, comprising within its boundary the whole of the Palatinate of Lublin, constituting the Eastern subdivision of Little Poland.
A trading vessel, with wool and fruit, arrived yesterday from Gijon. The letters are to the 22d ultimo, and contain no political information, excepting that the coast of Spain, from the eastern limits of Asturias to the north-western extremity of Galicia, is in a state of profound repose.
We have before mentioned the circumstance attending the reception of L'Africaine frigate, in the seas of the United States. By letters since received, we find that the indignation of the populace had not subsided. Several of the officers having landed at Norfolk, proceeded to the hotel of that town, where they were surrounded by the multitude, who not only loaded them with insults, but assailed them with pitchforks, so that after some time spent in ineffectual explanations, they thought it prudent to withdraw on board their ship. (A Good one.)
Sir Samuel Hood sailed from Portsmouth on Thursday afternoon, in the Centaur, of 74 guns, accompanied by the Warspite, 74, hon. captain Blackwood, for the Mediterranean. It is said that sir Samuel is to command a squadron of ten sail of the line, destined to attack the Russian navy, trade, and settlements in the Black Sea; and if such a design is entertained, certainly no more proper officer could be selected to execute it.
A deputation from the merchants engaged in the Baltic trade waited upon the board of admiralty on Tuesday, for the purpose of ascertaining whether they might safely continue their operations in that commerce. They were informed, that a convoy would be ready to sail for the Baltic on the 9th of November, and that Swedish licences would be delivered, which would remain valid until the 12th of December. This, probably, is the period fixed by the treaty between Russia and Sweden, from which British ships are to be excluded from the ports of the latter.
Friday we received Dutch papers to the 1st inst. They contain the heads of all the intelligence that had transpired at Paris on the 26th ult. The conditions of the peace were then as little known as when it was first announced. They would probably remain so until after they were communicated to the senate. The outworks of Vienna, it should seem, were demolished on the 16th. Buonaparte had taken his departure three or four hours before this indignity was inflicted on the Austrian capital. The following are the most important articles they contain:
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 31.
"We have received letters and newspapers from Paris to the 26th. They contain nothing of importance, except that, according to the letter from Munich of the 21st, his majesty the emperor Napoleon left Schoenbrunn on the 16th at noon, and arrived at Passau on the 18th, where he inspected Forts Napoleon and Maximilian, and the redoubts of Than, Abersberg, Eckmuhl, Wagram, Rivoli, Alexander, and Eugene. On the 20th, in the morning, his majesty arrived at the Castle of Nymphenburg, near Munich. In the evening he went with their majesties the king and queen of Bavaria, to the theatre. The Castle, the fine avenue leading from Nymphenburg to Munich, and the whole of the city, were illuminated. On the 20th, his majesty accompanied the king of Bavaria on a hunting party, half a league from Munich."
"Letters from Vienna of the 15th mention, that the articles of the treaty of peace had not then transpired; but the public formed some conjectures respecting their purport, from the fact, that in the preceding week, the registers of the Austro-Bohemian Chancery were sealed up by the French commissioners, and together with several documents
found among them relative to Tyrol, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Carinthia, Goritz, and Trieste, were packed up and sent off."
"This morning the following notice was placarded: "According to the notification from the French imperial commandant of this city to the government of Lower Austria, the fortifications of Vienna will this day (the 15th of October) be blown up, by command of his majesty the emperor of the French. The government of Lower Austria therefore hastens to give the public immediate notice of this circumstance." "In consequence of this command," add the letters alluded to, "every precaution has been used for the security of the public, both by preventing the streets from being crowded by the inhabitants, and leaving notices at the houses situated near the bastions. The time fixed for the explosion is between the hours of three and four. The works that are to be demolished are those which have been erected at the Burg, Karthuer, and Schotten gates, and which we have, with heavy hearts, seen carried on for so long a period. But as it is only the out-works, and not the walls of the city, that are to be destroyed, and as the quantity of powder has been carefully calculated, so as merely to demolish them without blowing the materials to any distance, the shock of the explosion will make very little impression on the city. Yesterday evening the horse guards, and this morning the last of the foot guards, marched out. The entrenched camp at Spitz will, it is said, be demolished this afternoon."
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 30.
"The following article is given in a supplement to the Vienna City Courant on the 14th inst."
"This day, at noon, the chief magistrate of this city received the following letter from the governor of Lower Austria:
"SIR—I hasten, by means of the inclosed order of the day, to communicate to your excellency the joyful tidings, that peace was signed at nine o'clock this morning. I have it in charge to cause the same to be notified to the public, by the firing of 100 pieces of cannon, and to proclaim it amidst the sound of trumpets. I command you to cause the accompanying order of the day to be placarded in both languages, &c."
F. ANDROSSI.
Imperial Head Quarters at Schoenbrunn,
October 14, 1809.
"Peace was signed this day, being the 14th of October, at nine o'clock in the morning, between count Champagny, minister for foreign affairs to his majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, and the prince Von Lichtenstein, plenipotentiary of his majesty the emperor of Austria."
"Messieurs the Marshals are commanded to cause this intelligence to be notified by a discharge of artillery."

CITY ADDRESS TO THE KING.
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY: The humble and dutiful address of the lord mayor, Aldermen, and commons of the city of London in common council assembled:
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
"We, the lord mayor, aldermen, and commons of the city of London, in common council assembled, approach your majesty's sacred person with our most lively and unfeigned congratulations on the recent anniversary of your majesty's accession to the throne of these realms; with joy & goodness we hail the day on which your majesty entered into the fiftieth year of your majesty's reign, not only over the persons, but in the hearts of your majesty's subjects.
"When it pleased the almighty rulers of princes to place the sceptre in your majesty's hands, the brave, free, and loyal people, whom your majesty was ordained to govern, received with pleasure your majesty's first declaration to the great council of the nation, that "born and educated a Briton, the peculiar happiness of your majesty's life would ever consist in promoting the welfare of your people, and your majesty's resolution to maintain our most excellent constitution, both in church and state, with an assurance that the civil and religious rights of the subjects were equally dear to your majesty with the most valuable prerogatives of the crown."
"We experience and acknowledge the blessings of this security to our religion and laws, and the great charter of liberties which in virtue of the glorious revolution your majesty's illustrious house was chosen to defend. Through the lapse of nearly half a century your majesty has proved yourself, on every occasion, unwearied in the maintenance and practice of all the principles so graciously pledged."
"It is a proud subject for your majesty's faithful citizens of London to record, that in the midst of all our unexampled struggles, your majesty is enabled to say, now, as at the commencement of your majesty's reign, that your majesty can see with joy of heart the commerce of these kingdoms, that great source of our riches, and fixed object of your majesty's never failing care and protection, flourishing to an extent unknown in any former war."
"Deeply impressed with gratitude to Almighty God for the innumerable blessings he has been pleased to pour down upon this highly favoured nation, and more particularly for his wonderful and great goodness, in having continued his divine protection to your majesty until this joyful period, we, your majesty's faithful Citizens of London, have implored Heaven to accept our fervent prayers of praise and thanksgiving, and to continue that same providential care and protection to your majesty for many years yet to come.
"Believe Sire, that it is the warmest wish and most fervent prayer of your majesty's Citizens of London, that Providence may long continue to this nation so distinguished a mark of divine favour, and that in the fullness of time, when your majesty shall be called from your earthly to a celestial crown, the memory and example of so beloved a Sovereign may secure to a grateful people the imitation of your majesty's virtues, in the successors of your Royal House, till time shall be no more.
"Signed by order of the Court,
HENRY WOODTHROPE."
To which Address his majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious answer:
"I thank you for this testimony of your zeal and affection for me and my government. It has ever been my anxious care to maintain the rights and privileges of every class of my subjects; and it is a great satisfaction to me to reflect, that, in the midst of all our unexampled struggles, and notwithstanding the duration of the wars in which, for the safety of my people, I have been engaged; the commerce and manufactures of my City of London have been carried to an extent unknown at any former period."
"They were all received very graciously, and had the honour to kiss his majesty's hand. After which his majesty was pleased to create the Lord Mayor a Baronet, and conferred the honour of Knighthood on William Plomer, Esq. Alderman."
CHARACTER OF THE NEW MINISTRY.
We have hitherto forbore to express any opinion on the composition of the new administration, because nothing is more unpleasant to us than that freedom of censure which the papers devoted to the respective parties seem to consider it as a point of duty to exercise on this occasion. Where any paper has concocted itself with its peculiar patrons, it very naturally follows and maintains their for-

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 in 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. 12 1-2 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. 157 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, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazard, 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, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business—distance from water—no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c.—The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attempted 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.
Soas, Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Malsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Varnish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpen Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Cooper, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufactories that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazards, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.

And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy the wise 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.

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 damages 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 conspicuous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss; and shall be 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 evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss or damage to the amount therein mentioned; and, without concealment and concealment are produced, the loss shall not be payable. Also, if there appears any fraud, or concealment, the claimant must submit his claim to rescission or payment, by reason of his policy.

And whenever 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.

DR. ROBERTSON'S Vegetable Nervous Cordial,
OR, Nature's Grand Restorative. (Price One Dollar and Fifty Cents.)
Is confidently recommended as the most efficacious medicine, for the speedy relief and cure of all nervous complaints, impurities of the blood, seminal weakness, and various complaints, resulting from diffipated pleasures, residence in warm climates, the immoderate use of tea, the unskilful or excessive use of mercury, and diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life.
Under the denomination of nervous disorders, in its full extent, are included several diseases of the most dangerous kind, and are so various, that a volume would hardly suffice to complete a description of them. It pervades with its baneful influence the whole nervous system, writhing the heart with next-possible anguish, and exciting the most dreadful suggestions of horror and despair. To this demon has thousands fallen a sacrifice, in the direful transports of its rage.
The most common symptoms at its commencement, are weakness, flatulency, palpitations, watchfulness, crowdfouts after eating, timidity, flutters of heat and cold, numbness, cramp, giddiness, pains in the head, back and loins, hick-up, difficulty of respiration and d. sluttiness, anxiety and dry cough, &c.

A small, but Valuable FARM for Sale.
THE SUBSCRIBER owns a Farm of about 200 acres, in the County of York, which he is disposed to sell. It lies nearly half way between the towns of York and Hampton, and is bounded on its southern side by the main road leading from Hampton, through York and Williamsburg to Richmond. It would therefore be a good stand for a Tavern or Store, or the Shop of a Mechanick; the soil is every where fertile, and in some parts highly so: and perhaps no land promises, from the nature of soil and other advantages, with more certainty to reward its cultivator. It lies near a Water Grist and Saw Mill, and within about two miles of a good publick landing. The river on which this landing is established, is remarkable for the fine quality as well as the abundance of its Fish and Oysters. Upon the upper part of the land, there is a small Dwelling-House, in which there is a tenant for the present year; but the house is of little value; there are no other buildings on the land. Mr. Guerard Robinson, who resides near it will shew it to any one disposed to view it, and either he or Capt. Mallory Todd, of Smithfield, or Mr. Richard Young, of Warwick Town will treat for the sale of it, or application may be made to
