Prevention better than Cure.
For the prevention and cure of Bile- and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern parts of the United States—particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, flatulency of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eye, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, deflexions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eye, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir.
For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
This medicine has never failed; in many thousands of cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.

MR. WAYNE. A Number of your fellow-citizens will be much pleased with your publishing the following Specials (taken from a New-York paper) by way of answer to some observations evidently sent into the world by the agents of Buonaparte, on the subject of the Negotiation between the French Government, and the Commissioners of the United States. The observations alluded to, have been noticed by all our public prints—this only, as far as I have observed by one. I sincerely wish it may have a place in every public print in the union. A. B.
From the New-York Gazette.
FRANCE & AMERICA.
We have seen in the Gazette of Monday last, the result, as given under the Paris head of August the 30th, of the negotiation between our Commissioners and the French government. It seems, it has failed, and is for the present, suspended, the reasons of which are assigned. This account of the matter, though without an official stamp, has strong marks of being an emanation by authority of the French Government.
It is not improbable, that the leading points in the statement are true; and considering the quarter from which it comes, and the views to be answered, it is not sufficient in moderation. There are, however, some discolourings, and several articles of a nature to mislead the public opinion of this country, which may require an antidote by a fair explanation. This shall be offered.
After a preliminary view of the subjects discussed in the negotiation, it is stated in the sequel, that "the negotiation turned on three points."
1. The continuance in force, or the modified renewal of the Treaty of 1778.
This point (it is alleged) was waived by France, in consequence of the assurance of our envoys, that they could not renew it.
2. The principle of compensation for illegal captures.
This point (it is said) France offered to admit. But on condition only that the Treaty of 1778 should be renewed, with the modifications contained in the instructions given by Washington.
3. The 25th article of the Treaty, between the United States and Great-Britain, relative to the protection granted to the armed vessels of that nation.
France, it is said, will probably insist upon enjoying the same advantage as long as it is possessed to her injury by her enemy.
It is mentioned as supplementary, that "There is another principle which France was anxious to establish, namely, That neutral bottoms should constitute neutral property." But that our Treaty of 1793 with Great-Britain prevented our acceding to this claim.
On the very face of the statement, as to the two first points, we discover a stroke of French finesse.
France, it is pretended, waived the point of a continuance or modified renewal of the Treaty of 1778, upon the assurance of our envoys that they could not renew it; yet we are informed in the next sentence, that aged as to the principles of compensation for illegal captures, she did it upon the express condition only that the Treaty of 1778 should be renewed with modifications.
That is to say, she waived the modified renewal of the Treaty of 1778, upon the condition that the United States would waive their claim of compensation for illegal captures; a claim by herself admitted to be just. This, it must be confessed, was an odd method of waiving. It was more properly an attempt to barter a bad debt for a good one, a nullity (in other words a treaty, which for these very illegal captures in violation of it, and for other injuries, had been rightfully declared void) for a valid claim equal to 20,000,000 of dollars.
The argument by which it is intended to colour this subterfuge is this: "That as the two nations had never been in a state of war with each other, the Treaty of 1778 could not have been annulled without the consent of both."
But there is not a writer on the law of nations who will not inform the French Government, that when one party to a treaty violates the compact in any material article, the other party is free to annul the whole.
France, before she had the least pretence of complaint against the United States, had infringed the treaty in some of its essential points especially in the famous provision now again much wanted that neutral bottoms shall constitute neutral property; and she went on increasing her violations down to the period of abrogating the treaty in this country; than which no national measure was ever justified by more cogent reasons.
But it is asserted that this treaty is the only basis of our claim to compensation. This position is as unfounded as the other.
France in her revolutionary phrensy, denied the existence of a Law of Nations. Returned (as is hoped) to reason, she at present recognizes that law, and promises to be governed by it.
Then, as the greater part of the captures of which we complain were unjust and illegal; not by the peculiar stipulations of the treaty of 1778, but by the General Law of Nations—it is plain that as to them our claim to compensation is independent of, and in amount to the treaty.
It follows, that the ground which has been taken by France, in this particular, is untenable.
Further—as to the 25th article of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, relative to the protection granted to the armed vessels of the nation.
Towards a clear understanding of this point, it may be necessary to remind the public of some facts:—
Our treaty with France already mentioned, in the 12th article contains stipulations equivalent to the 25th article of our treaty with Great Britain.
As this article has an express saving of prior existing treaties, France was left by the treaty with Great Britain in full possession of the privileges in this respect which our treaties with them had granted.
The consequence, that France being at war with Great Britain, might bring prizes made from the latter, into our ports, while British ships could not enter with prizes made from France. France, therefore, had no cause to complain of the article in question. It left her where she was before, and with a privilege not enjoyed by Great Britain.
If the abuse is now altered, and Great Britain has acquired the preference which before belonged to France, it is by accident, or more properly speaking, by the fault of France, whose violence drove our government to the abolition of our treaty with Great Britain, the advantages of priority, which formerly were attached to our treaty with France.
This priority therefore occasioned by the misconduct of France, ought not to have been an obstacle to the formation of a Treaty with us, which in other respects should have been the same as our Treaty with Great Britain. And doubtless it will appear hereafter, that our Envy were authorised to offer and did offer such a Treaty.
This circumstance ought the less to have been an obstacle, because the 25th is one of the articles of our Treaty with Great Britain which by its own limitation, will expire in twelve years after the making of it, that is, in the year 1807.
Again—as to the principle, that neutral bottoms should make neutral property, which it is said, France was anxious to establish.
It is not true, as alleged, that our Treaty with Great Britain was an impediment to our establishing that principle with France; unless it was meant to do more than was done by the Treaty of 1778.
It is clearly shown by Mr. Jefferson, in his correspondence on the subject, and has been otherwise amply demonstrated, that this Treaty did nothing more than adopt the principle as a Rule to be observed, between the United States and France, with regard to each other when one was at peace, and the other at war; that it did not bind either party to enforce or insist upon the rules as against other Nations.
If more was desired by France at this time; if it was meant that we were to agree to insist upon the rule as against other nations; it is evident that this was nothing more nor less than an attempt to involve us in war with Great Britain.
As a violation of our treaty with her, this would have been the natural consequence, as an attempt to change, by force the present law of nations in a point which she is deeply interested to maintain, the same consequence was to be expected.
This would be another specimen of the old policy—War with Great Britain, as the price of Friendship with France. It is not unlikely that our Envoys have
been instructed to decline, in any shape, the stipulation, that neutral bottoms should make neutral property; and if they were, the instruction was a perfectly wise one.
Experience has shown, in the conduct of France herself, towards the United States, that it is a stipulation not to be relied upon; too contrary to the spirit of maritime war to be observed, and that the probable effect of making it, will be always to introduce a germ of contention between the parties to the contract. It has been a cause of extreme embarrassment to us in the present war.
An unwillingness to repeat the experiment of this contentious innovation, ought certainly to have been no obstacle to a treaty with the very power which has given us proof that it was wiser than nothing, and taught us the necessity of distrust.
Hence we perceive the unreasonable and futile of the offensive motives which, on the part of France, have obstructed a treaty with the United States.
Let us now conjecture the true reasons of the failure of the negotiation. They were—1. The hope that an unsettled state of things between the two countries might favour in the approaching election of Chief Magistrate, the choice of a person more complaisant to the views of France, namely Mr. Jefferson.—2. The expectation that with him a bargain more advantageous to France would be made than with our present Executive.
Will the people of the United States be the dupes of the scheme? Will they think it their interest to elevate to the head of the government a man with whom France expects to make such a bargain as will suit her purpose, after the repeated proofs they have had of the will of France to entangle them in her interests, and embroil them with other nations? Why should they do this? Things are now upon a good footing.—
A treaty it is true has not been made; but if we are to credit the French statements, their depredations on our commerce are to cease, and our neutral rights are in future to be respected. It is therefore in our option to have peace in fact with France, though not by treaty; and if she keeps her word (the only security a treaty would give us) we shall be as well off (except in the article of compensation for captures) as if a treaty had been made.
In little more than six years the parts of our treaty with Great Britain respecting external commerce and navigation will expire. We can then stand both with France and her upon new ground, and it is matter of indifference whether we ever again have a commercial treaty with either of them, unless upon better terms than heretofore. The trade, between us and them may as well be left to regulate itself till bargains more positively advantageous for us can be made.
The getting rid, on fair ground, of the guarantee of the French West-Indies in our treaty of alliance with France, is a point of substantial interest gained to the United States.
We observe that an attempt was made to revive this guarantee in a qualified form; whether this revival was urged as an ultimatum or not, does not appear. It is probable that it has been a very serious point with France. And the reasons which induced her to desire it, ought to induce the United States to avoid it. The guarantee as it formerly stood, would have engaged this country in every maritime war in which France was a defensive party. Commuted for a pecuniary aid, it would cost them a large sum of money in every such case, and would be more or less hazardous to their peace.
President Washington wisely proposed the substitute with the treaties were yet in force. But France would not then listen to the moderate propositions of this great man. Now, that the treaties are at an end, in consequence of the French aggressions, we ought not voluntarily to resume so serious an incumbrance. It would be far better for the United States to compensate their own citizens for losses by French depredations.
On this head it is to be observed, that nothing more than a promise of compensation could at present have been expected from France with the best intentions on her part. The state of her finances does not permit more. The enjoyment of the boon must have been in future. In all probability, by patience and perseverance, a more convenient opportunity will occur for a favorable settlement of the matter, and early enough to meet the resources of France for payment.
In the interim, let our government take preparatory measures; such as will thoroughly fit and ascertain the claims which ought to be compensated; and by this expedient the affair will be refined for definitive negotiation, and little, if any time, will be lost.
As to the rest, a simple and obvious course of conduct presents itself. Let hostilities on the part of the United States cease, and let the two countries pass into a state of peace in fact on the basis of the Laws of Nations. In this position it will be seen whether France is sincere, and at the same time able to execute her assurance that our rights, as a neutral nation, will hereafter be respected.
But in doing this, let us take care that we are not found hereafter unprepared. Let us take measures to be able to increase our means of future resistance; if again we shall be compelled to protect our rights and defend our commerce by force. The posture of Europe is still eventful beyond all human calculation.
Absurd indeed must be that American who will risk the safety of his country on any other foundation than her own ability to repel violence.

THE GRAND QUESTION STATED.
At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be asked by every American, laying his hand on his heart, is, "shall I continue in allegiance to GOD AND A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT;
Or impiously declare for JEFFERSON AND NO GOD!!"
Tommy Cooper, the Manchester manufacturer, is manufacturing every day, whole columns of the Aurora. He would make a much more capable Editor, we think, than Duane, having the advantage of being in jail, already, for which the latter is only a very pretty and fair candidate. No punishment can reach Cooper, at present; Duane is still at large, and has less leisure by far than the former.
Duane's Confessions and Aurora extreme Unction.
"How much 'tis to be regretted, by all good citizens," to which honorable title (says Duane) I never had any pretension, "that in our political discussions, there should be so shameless an abandonment of veracity among us," Jacobin printers and editors, throughout the United States. "There are some men so prostituted to falsehood, that repeated detection and exposure, seem to have no effect, in reclaiming them to the truth;" and I confess, with freedom, that of this description of men, am I, William Duane. My "conscience is feared; the incessant practice of lying, has long since rendered me callous to every principle of religion and morality and decorum," &c. &c. Infamous and wicked as such conduct is, I am in the daily practice of it. The Lord forgive me for it. These confessions, which we take from the Aurora of the 6th instant, are more precious than those of Edmund Handolph or French Coke.
Out of thy own mouth will I condemn thee O Jacobin.
Extra from Sayre's Address in the Aurora. "We do not charge the members of our federal Administration with positive misapplication of our public money; they may have had more virtue than falls to the lot of other men. We do not deny the fact, that men high in office may have high and unchangeable principles of honor and integrity.
But we contend, that if, unfortunately, the heads of departments should hereafter be filled by men of less virtue, this practice would, in its progress and consequence, bring down universal ruin, and wrap us in all the miseries of despotism! That man must be proverbially stupid, who does not foresee the certain and inevitable destruction that such a practice must have on the community and government.
We presume it will not be denied, that the man who commands the wealth of any nation, must govern it. We therefore embrace this opportunity to express our fears and apprehensions, that some future administration, having the power and means of so doing may combine together with the chief of the treasury, to divide enormous sums of the public money—hold it at their discretion, speculate on our funds, and fatten themselves on our revenues, in proportion as they hang heavy on our shoulders and have grown wealthy by our ill-placed confidence they might have the hardness & impety to insult our understandings, by proposing one of their greatest defaulters as a chief magistrate to rule over us. In For all the reasons of man's invention, it is plain to our conception, that no thing could have been fixed upon, which could so easily, so effectually, and so rapidly eat up all our substance, and put an end to all our hopes by good government.
[The above is, in plain English, telling Duane he is a liar, for he says, that the present officers have not only misapplied but embezzled the public money. As for the future administration, we presume Josiah and his man Sayre allude to the time when Jefferson and his friends have the fingerings of the cash: They may make themselves perfectly easy in this respect, as the people of America will convince them at the election that they will not permit them to take care of the treasury.]
There has just issued from the press of G. F. Hopkins, No. 136 Pearl-street New-York, a pamphlet entitled, "A VOICE OF WARNING, &c." which finishes in a masterly manner what the author of "Serious Considerations" began. What is in the one lightly touched, is in the other set in full, clear, and strong light, as to impress conviction upon the most unbelieving. If any even doubt of Mr. Jefferson's infidelity and the part which they ought to act, after reading this pamphlet, to them may be applied to, justify these words of the Prophet saying; "Seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart." This performance for lucid order, accurate sentiment, strength of argument, fervent piety and in rousing style, has been seldom exceeded. The remark will forcibly occur to every reader, that the opponents of Mr. Jefferson avail themselves of no unfair means; all is honest, just, true, and congenial to the purest mind; whereas his advocates resort to personal abuse, and gross misrepresentation; professing a regard for Christianity they violate its sacred precepts. Let the cause which is supported by such means and can be supported by no other—Fall forever. [N. Y. Gaz.]
MR WAYNE,
A stupid and ridiculous address, said to be delivered at a meeting of Republican Citizens, of the County of Burlington, held in Springfield, on the 20th inst. by their Chairman, Citizen Joseph Bloomfield, has been printed, and is now circulating in this County. The ludicrous circumstances attending this democratic Association, will shortly be given to the public, by Gentlemen who were present. I shall, therefore, confine my remarks to the address itself, as far as it is level with my understanding; for indeed much of its phraseology greatly transcends the powers of common intellect. The profound addresser begins by telling his hearers, in a very clumsy manner, that in Jersey they are deprived of their constitutional right of electing, in the first instance the persons who shall chuse the President and Vice President. If this right be constitutional, how can the people be deprived of it by the Legislature? Would not such an attempt render the election invalid? What says the addresser to Burr's own State, New-York! The State upon which the Jacobins rely for their election. Will he acknowledge that under the very eyes of this Hero, the New-York Republicans deprive their fellow citizens of their constitutional rights? Was the addresser ignorant of this violation of the rights of Man, by his beloved democrats, or did he forget to remember it? Thomas Jefferson he says has distinguished himself throughout life in advancing the rights of man, and particularly in advancing (these words alone can make sense of the phrase) the preservation of our Republican Government"—and yet this man, who advocates the preservation of our government, countenances in New-York, and, in other States, and if elected, it will be by a measure which the addresser stigmatizes as a flagrant violation of the rights of man, and of the constitution of this government. The mind of the addresser must be too confused for any ideas of consistency, or he must have regarded his hearers as labouring under great difficulty of intellect. He goes on to tell how "Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr fought during the "Revolutionary war, in establishing our Independence." What exclusive merit have they in this, supposing it to be true. We have heard indeed of Mr. Jefferson abandoning his post, and flying from the enemy, but of his fighting, the less that is said, the better. But admitting the fact, is every man that fought, to be a President? Should this be the case, even the addresser himself might look forward in his turn, when twenty or thirty thousand Presidents had filled the chair before him. He acquaints his hearers in the next place, that "neither Thomas Jefferson nor Aaron Burr have (for as I suppose) been corrupted by an education 3000 miles from America," nor have they been Ministers to the most corrupt court in the world. They have not written eulogiums on the English Constitution and Laws, and approved of the intoleration (mark this word, gentle reader) "of the intoleration of tythes and exclusive rights to particular professors of Christianity." With what reluctance does my pen copy such ineffable nonsense! Is it possible that such absurdities can bias any rational creatures? The addresser must have laughed in his sleeve when he uttered them; if he did not, we must rather pity than condemn him. Here then the addresser has made the prodigious discovery, that a man must necessarily be corrupted, because he is educated 3000 miles from America. How this discovery may apply to Generals Montgomery, Lee, Gates, Knox, Mercer, and many others; to at least two thirds of the Democratic leaders in Virginia, to John Dickinson, Dr. Logan, and to most of the present subaltern democratic squad,—Dallas, Gallatin, Cooper, Reynolds, Priestley, Duane and Callender, Randolph and the Flour Merchants, I leave to the addresser to determine. He has here, with his usual sagacity, cut up his own party with the same stroke which he aimed at his opponents, and cast reproach upon some of the first and best patriots of America, most of whom I trust could have offered full as good a specimen of the excellence of their foreign education, both with regard to candour and composition, as the paltry address of this home-taught Chairman. But these Gentlemen (Adams and Pinckney) "have moreover been ministers to the most corrupt court in the world"; therefore they ought not to be elected; the very reverse should be the conclusion; because being better acquainted with the corrupt intrigues and practices of this Court, they would be more able to defeat their influence upon this country; but the addresser supposes these gentlemen must be infected by the corruptions of this court. On what reasons can he possibly bottom such a supposition? Is not Mr. Adams's antipathy to England so well known, as to disarm even some of his warmest friends. Instead of being corrupted, he conceived himself dignified by the Court of St. James's. Nay, within the compass of a page, (such is the mental habit of this addresser) Mr. Adams is said to be under British influence, and to keep an eye upon the Pinckneys, because he suspected them to be under the same influence. O Te Bollane, &c. &c. These same words British Influence are a kind of charm, a magical talisman with the unthinking and uninformed, like the hors la loi of the Sans-
* If this Slab-Town Chairman's education was not corrupted, it is very evident that it was most shamefully neglected—P.D.
† This wonderful discovery is nearly equal to one made by this famous chairman and profound astronomer, shortly after his being elected a Trustee of Jersey College, when looking through the Collegiate Telescope at the planets, he observed to a Brother Trustee, that "he saw Jupiter's beans, but could not find his satellites!!"
choltes they protect every friend to order and government. Only point to a man who wills well to Old England: who considers that truly great nation as the nurse of arts and sciences, as the bulwark of social happiness and religion, and the democratic gall begins immediately to boil. A more than Egyptian darkness is spread over their minds—phantoms of royalty and aristocracy and persecution begin to dance before their eyes, and the British Court displays corruptions to their distempered fancies, such as Genet and Fauchet and Adet, and Reubel and Barras and Talleyrand were never known to exhibit. It appears that Mr. Pinckney discovered some little corruptions lurking about these immaculate democrats, and what is more he presumed to divulge them. Hence the antipathy of the whole party to this, undaunted and illustrious patriot. Their Hero would never have thwarted the machinations of the Directorial junto. The glorious cause of illuminism, otherwise called Jacobinism would have justified any means however base, to promote it. With the initiated into this system, imposition, misrepresentation and falsehood are always allowable from the official intrigues at a court down to the addresser Chairman of a country meeting. Were not this principle established among Democrats, how could the addresser compliment Mr. Jefferson as the champion, or censure Mr. Adams as the enemy of religious liberty in this country? this liberty is coeval with the independence of these States; it constitutes an essential article in our revolutionary character. With respect to professing christians, all the States have sanctioned it, and our present constitution fully establishes it. Is it not therefore a despicable imposition to ascribe this liberty to the agency of Mr. Jefferson or Aaron Burr—Let me ask the addresser this question; did Mr. Adams or Mr. Pinckney ever, in any instance, countenance or uphold a privileged church? I dare him to answer in the affirmative; wherefore then all his incoherent rhapsody about the Episcopal Church? can he be really so transcendantly vain and weak as to imagine that other societies of christians will be flattered by the compliments which he pays them at the expense of a church which has ever been distinguished for its liberality and moderation? but it seems the addresser has a peculiar antipathy to this Church. Is it merely because this Church is the Church of England or because he conceives it to be the chief obstacle to the dissemination of infidel principles? In the former supposition, he evinces his low prejudice—in the second, he pays a compliment, which any christian society would rejoice to deserve—To what church the addresser belongs it would probably be difficult to determine, but certain it is that his hero belongs to none, and holds in equal contempt all those who confess the name of the Lord Jesus—Again this man continues the addresser "is raised the resentment of the Episcopal Clergy, and they are induced to declaim on every occasion against him as a man of no religion" now what reason, can you devise, gentle reader, does the addresser allege for this conduct of the Episcopal Clergy? because, forsooth, "neither Christian or Jew is now compelled to pay tythes, and support Episcopacy"—The Chairman's hearers must certainly have concluded that Episcopacy or Bishops were formerly established over the continent and that tythes were paid by all to support them; the Chairman even the Chairman knew better; he knew that in Maryland and Virginia only, a small capitation tax of 40 pounds of tobacco was paid to the Episcopal Clergy, then almost the only ministers of religion in those colonies. Tythes of any other nature were utterly unknown and as Salmon tells us "all liberty of conscience was allowed to all other persuasions." At the revolution this public support ceased of course not from any special exertions of Mr. Jefferson, but from the very nature of the government that succeeded the colonial establishments. The addresser therefore stupidly mistakes or maliciously misrepresents the motives of the few (I might say of the two or three) Episcopal Clergymen who have opposed Mr. Jefferson on the score of religious opinions—Why the addresser omitted to make mention of the unanswerable observations on this subject by Doctor Lynn, and of the declarations of several others of the Presbyterian Clergy, is a circumstance best known to himself. He was probably cautious of offending so numerous and respectable a body of citizens, who, I trust will hardly thank him for this negative mark of his attention. The great body of their clergy will, I am assured, recoil from his compliment—"For this is the time if ever, for the Priests and Ministers of the Lord to stand between the porch and the altar, and exert themselves manfully before their eyes begin to wax dim that they may not see, and ere the lamp of God goeth out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was—(1st Sam. iii. 32†) Thus far I have thought proper to animadvert upon this rhapsodical address. It should not be passed by unnoticed, for I think such another will hardly be delivered by any other Chairman in the union; as to that which is tacked to it by the Chairman's Squire, I understand, it is now undergoing a thorough examination, and I am convinced will be shown to be as replete with falsehood, misrepresentation and groundless calculations, as that of the Chairman, though perhaps less dull and cleaved in a little more decency of language.

The Schooner Betty, Captain Gopeland from Boston, with a very valuable cargo, stranded a little to the southward of Great Egg Harbour on Sunday night, at 11 o'clock, and lost her mate, boat, and a quantity of rum and furs off the deck—the cargo in the hold, it is supposed, will be all saved.

Salem, West-Jersey, October 6, 1800. On Friday evening last, between 8 and 9 o'clock, departed this life (in about the 334 year of his age) ABIJAH WHITING, Esqr. Counsellor at Law. He languished under a long and severe typhus fever for 20 days. He had every attention from the physeans and other attendants, but without the desired effect. He was interred at 11 o'clock on the succeeding Lord's day morning, attended by a large and respectable number of friends and acquaintances, who exhibited evident marks of the deepest regret on the mournful occasion.
A liberal education, good person, handsome address, strong powers of mind, and indefatigable industry, all combined to render him ornamental and useful to society. As a companion, he was cheerful and agreeable.
As an attorney, laborious, faithful, enterprising and successful. As a christian, he was correct in his opinions, and in his faithfulness, gave the most satisfactory evidences of a firm faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
In politics, he always held in abhorrence that frantic philosophy which has turned so many weak heads; fired so many vicious hearts, and drenched so great a portion of the earth with human gore.
The true Christian and Federal Republican will long deplore his untimely death.
