Persons therefore who regard, either what
is due to themselves, or the favor aud opinion
of the world, who can distinguish between the
comeliness of health, and the deformlty OF
disease, and who can weigh the advantages
which belong to and are inseparable from an
engaging appearance, to which perhaps they
themselves, have by nature, the strongest
claims, are seriously assured these advantages
SO far as belong to goodaskin, are to be OBJ
tanned by the use of his Lotion, however Vi

Instead of the studious and facilitating
/ courses Of medicines which patients went
through formerly, and which perhaps they
are still too frequently obliged to undergo,
it is now found that the greatest number of
these complaints are most certainly & speed
lily removed by the use of local remedies
merely, than they ever were by contrary
course.

This is necessary, as there are other pills OF
the same name.
The operation of these highly esteemed
pills is perfectly mild, and the experience OF
thousands has proved, they may be used IN
every situation in life without the least neon

They art admirably adapted to carry OFT

CoMMUNICATIoN.

WHILST I reflect on the liberal dona
tons received from different sources--l
feel proud to acknowledge and applaud the
hitherto generous and praise worthy conduct
of our citizens, to their brethren III distress,
and particularly at this critical juncture,
when many, very many haplcss wretches
are thrown on their bounty, they have shown
themselves the friends and promoters of
charity.
Notwithstanding the large sums already
raised and distributed amongst the needy,
still there are many whose wants "cry aloud
for" helo. I am confident there are resourc-
es not vet called into action, but which
might be, through the attention Of gentle.
men of influence. l was induced to these
reflections on being informed that number
of respectable young gentlemen had asso-
ciated together for mutual improvement,
under the title of the 7hrspiaa Society"
and that they have arrived to considerable
proGcien in several pieces Of comedy and
tragedy. 1t Immediately occurred to me,
that if properly solicited these young men
might be induced to exhibit some OF those
pieces to the public, when another oppor-
tunity would be offered to those who have
not vet contributed, to come forward in aid
of their INDECENT fellow-creatures. In COM
municating this hint, conceived it my du-
ty, hoping that it may be improved by per-
sons of more influence than myself.

pronounced irrecoverable by the medical
aid called in; her father thereon ilnmerged
her up to her chin in water as hot as she
could bear it, and kept her in that state for
quarter of an hour, till she nearly tainted,
after which a small portion of rum and oil
was given her; she was then wrapped in a

she was perfectly restored. On the dissec-

constitution for counting the votes for Pre-
sident and Vice-P President OF the y. States,
both houses of Congress convened, agree
able to appointment in the Representative
Hall, Mr.. Vandyke of Delaware, and MIR.

ed tcllers on the part of the House OF Re
representatives. and Mr.. Smith of Mary
land, on the part of the Senate, the presi-
sident Of the Senate proceeded to open and
the tellers to count the returns of the votes
from the different states, when it appeared
on summing up the whole that JAMES
MADISON, Esquire, of Virginia, had
122,votes andwas declared duly electedPrs-
sident of the II. States, for four years COM
mencing on the 18th day of Marh next and

In the House of Representatives, yester-
day, Mr.. J. G. Jackson offered an amend
ment to the resolution now under conside-
ration in committee Of the whole for rails
ing the embargo, to the following effect
(" That after certain day all intercourse
shall CEASE with France and Great Britain,
and their dependencies, unless they rescind
their obnoxious order and decress, and that
the armed ships Of all nations be prohibited
from entering our ports and harbors. -
This motion is believed to have been the
result Of the deliberations Of the last
caucus, and is what the ministerlalists will
probably endeavor to carry though the
house.
A democrat Of the first water has assert
ed, {" the embargo will be raised or the 18th
OF March next but that law will be pass
ed prohibiting all intercourse with France
and Great Britain, to go into effect about
the first Of June, unless our differences
shall be sooner adjusted with those powers
that an army OF Is or 10000 men viii
