STATE TRIALS-SUBSCRIPTION.

WHEN it is considered how many unhappy
persons are pining in confinement, for disssemi-
nating opinions which they deemed conducive to the
General Good, we shall feel it to be a stigma on our cha-
racter, that we have been so long indifferent to their con-
dition. Whether their principles were just or erroneous,
the motive was probably the public, and not their private
interest; yet their services are requited with forgetful-
ness, and their innocent families perishing for want of
assistance. The Habeas Corpus Act, the Palladium of
Englishmen's safety, has been suspended to deprive them of
every resource from oppression; and in addition to the
pains of Law, they are exposed to the brutality of merci-
less Jailors, who seem to consider the rigor they exercise
towards them as grateful recommendations of their services.
This in not a cause of Party, but of Humanity, in which
every one whose soul is not narrowed by Prejudice, or
made callous by Prosperity, will incline to contribute as-
sistance. Persons of all other descriptions are aided by
Societies, these are alone unprotected and unprovided.
An institution is now formed for relieving them, and the
Public is respectfully informed, that Subscription are re-
ceived at the Morning Post-Office, Strand, where Books are
kept for their inspection, and where those who are dis-
posted, may either put down their Names, or insert their
initials, Subscriptions are also received by Jeremiah

CHAPMAN, IRVING and EDWARDS,
most respectfully inform their Friends, that they
have just had the opportunity of purchasing with cash,
some very large lots of goods for the Spring Trade, which
they are enabled and determined to sell at little more than
half the value.

They having, when they began Business, adopted the
system of selling, for ready money, at a small profit, it
gave them the power at all times to make such cheap pur-
chases, as to manifest daily more and more the advantages
their Customers derive by their not deviating from the
term of ready money only.

CHAPMAN and Co. beg leave therefore to announce
to those Friends, who have occasionally taken a short cre-
dit, that from this time their intention is to keep no Books

SCROFULA or KING's EVIL, CURED.

To T. TAYLOR, Surgeon, No. 9, New Bridge-street,
London.

Coxhow Pottery, in the Parish of Kelloe , near Durham,
March 16, 1795,

DEAR SIR,

ABOUT Twenty Years ago, my fourth Son,
James, now 31 years of age, had a lump grow un-
der the skin, on the side of his face and neck, which ap-
prehending to be a wen, I took an opportunity, while he
was sleeping, to cut off a good lump of it with a sharp
pair of scissars; it discharged blood and water with little
pain: some time after this his arm and elbow became stiff
and swelled, and burst into four holes about the joint,
which were happily healed by excluding the air and keep-
ing him at work; but, I imagine, from not giving him
proper medicines to purge off the humour, it appeared
again some time back, in a little hard lump on his throat,
which by slow degrees increased so much, as to render his
swallowing any thing exceedingly difficult, and put him in
danger of being suffocated: this swelling at length broke
in several places, yet did not relieve him, nor did the cut-
ting it in another place, by a Surgeon, do him say service,
as it still continued to increase: several of the faculty
were consulted, who all agreed it would prove fatal. His
mother, thinking to get better advice, took him to an
eminent Surgeon (at the head of a public Medical Insti-
tution, in a neighbouring capital town), who, on the se-
cond consultation, informed her, sall was in vain, the disor-
der would kill him and to do any thing for it would only
hasten his death. In this my child's dreadful situation, I
thought it high time to apply to you, for some of your
Leake's Patent Pills, (which I understood were famous
for removing swellings of the glands, arising from scro-
phula), and advice in the case: he began taking them in
April last, according's to your directions, and in a short
time had the happiness to observe the hardnesss and size
of the swelling gradually diminish; he was soon after
able to swallow with perfect case, and in a sew months
all the sores entirely healed up firmly and soundly, the
hadness, Etc. being so entirely obliterated, as not to leave
the lease appearance of it: in this state he has continued
ever since, not withstanding he has constantly worked with
me in my pettery, without losing a day from illness, since
the first forthight of his taking the Pills. and withstood
as severe a winter as almost ever I remember, although
in the 73d year of my age.

Now, my dear, Sir I can only say you have the grateful
thanks and prayers of a large family for restoring one of
their number; who, from being sunk in spirits, in flesh,
in strength, and as it were already dropping into the
grave, has, by the aid of your medicine, become chear-
ful, lusty, strong, and looks forward to a succession of
many healthful happy years.

That this extraordinary cure may be made as public as
possible, for the [..] of others, is the wish of [..]

ENGAGEMENT

IN THE

MEDITERRANEAN.

It has been justly said by a noble Writer,
that if the Shouts of Victory are once heard
in the French Fleet, the Crown of Great Bri-
tain will be no [..]
[..]
Maritime Strength so necessary as at present;
but unfortunately, that same puorile presump-
tion which has conducted our operations by
land, and brought us to the brink to despera-
tion and disgrace, directs, under the same sasci-
nating influence, the naval enterprizes of Bri-
tain. In this case as in the other, we behold
the same hateur and supercilious contempt mis-
leading the National Pilot, and blinding him
against the dangers which the enthusiatic exer-
tions of such a Herculean Enemy must create,
on whatever element their massive force is ex-
erted. When Toulon was taken by the Eng-
lish, we were told, that their Mediterranean
Fleet was destroyed; but Toulon now sends
forth a Fleet capable of contesting with our's
the Empire of that Ocean. These Fleets have
met, and the brazen-mouth'd exultations of the
Tower of London have confidently assured us
of a Victory; but he who judiciously analises
the report given by the British Admiral him-
self, will be induced to [..] that Victory
into a Rebuff. The French had a particular
object in view; their ships were filled with
men, and though the English Fleet was in fight,
they did not choose to relinquish this object for
the purpose of fighting them; but one of their
ships having lost her top-masts, and being in-
capable of keeping up with the others was
severely handled by two of the English, who
afterwards quitted her, and another French
vessel then took her in tow. The next morn-
ing these two vessels considerably to leeward,
and separated from the rest of the French, were
taken by the English Fleet of 14 sail of the line,
which circumstance brought on a general En-
gagement with the French Fleet, then reduced
to 13 sail of the line, by the loss of the said
two vessels. Though the English Admiral seems
desirous of representing this in another point
of view than that of a General Action, yet it
certainly was so, for there is not a single ship
of his Squadron but what sustained some loss-
But when we alk, what was the consequence
of this General Engagement? To whom the
Victory inclined? How many Ships were taken,
[..]
no satisfactory solution of these questions. All
we are told is, "That the van ships suffered so
much, that it became impossible for any thing
further to be effected." Is this preserving the
Empire of the Ocean? Or is it not rather a
proof that whilst the folly of the Minister ex-
hausts the strength of this Country in chime-
rical projects upon the Continent, that Tri-
dent, the ancient boast and glory of Britain, is
now gliding out of her hands? Surely it is
time for this Nation to rouze from its-leathargy,
to throw aside that treacherous confidence which
has lured us to the brink of ruin, and by the
Redress of Public Wrongs, the exemplary pu-
nishment of Public Traitors, the change of
political measures, and the proper application
of the National Force to its natural element;
not only acquire security against the efforts of
the Enemy, but also take away from the People
every just cause. of complaint and discontent,
which un-nerves the wonted energy of this de-
clining and divided Country.

N.J.

HAIR POWDER TAX.

Reasons which must induce every reasonable
man to decline the use of Hair Powder.

1. It is an unnecessary expenditure of that
valuable commodity, which is now so much in
demand, and must tend to keep up its present
enormous price.

2. It is the effect of pritle and vanity, and
occasions a criminal waste of that which can
never be recalled

3. It is attended with many and great incon-
veniences, which all who wear it, must have
fully experienced.

4. It is in the course of our lives, the waste
of a considerable sum, which might be applied
to the most useful purposes.

5. It is a practice which has introduced an
effeminacy into the national character, by en-
gaging men's attention in the ornamenting of
their persons, and taking it off from things of
importance.
