The terms cf the capitulation were not precisely known, it was (fated, that the were to be permitted to re turn to their homes, on condition of not ft r. ving again during the war; that the place was utterly deftltute of provisions and amu nition, all expectation of obtaining fappliss completely truflrated by the vigilance of the besiegers. The loss of the French, during the siege, was eftlmated at 30,000 men ; that of the Priiffims and Ruffians, was like wife cunfiderable, but feme what Ida than the • French. The fall of Dantzic, and the belief that prevailed, in confrquence of the late armif. tice, of Sweden’s being about to take a part with France, had greatly affefted the trade of Copenhagen, Little or nothing was done there.

ON this important fubjeft many books have been written, which, though ex cedent in cnlier rcfpefts, have yet greatly failed of this ufcfulncfs to Americans, be. cause they treat of difcafe# which, cxifting in very different climates and conffitudons, muff. w idely differ from ours. The book now offered to the public has, therefore, the great advantage of having been Written by a na. tive American of long and fuccefbful praftic* in these Southern Stales, and w ho, for years pass, has turned much of his attention to this very interesting fubjefl. He is very fan. guine that his book will prove exceedingly ufcful to all families, but more eTpecially to those living in fcattereJ neighborhoods where regular medical attendance cannot easily be obtained. For the use of families thus unfor natdy circumfiancd, the author has prepared his Planter’s and Mariner’s Medical Com panion, which treats, in the molt clear and concise manner, altnoft every disease to which the human body is liable, with its name, symptoms, causes, regimen* cure, & means of prevention r—To which are subjoined, a treatise on the diseases peculiar to women and children ; and a differration on such cases aa generally occur in Surgery j with a Difpen fatory, Ihtwing how to prepare the most ufe fdl family medicines, with their proper do. fes ; and a Dictionary, explaining the tcch nical terms used in this woik. With Aich a guide as this, a country gentleman may be enabled to meet a disease in the firft moment of its attack, and thus, where a phyficiun cannot readily be bad, may he made the hap. py inffrument of preferring lives as valuable as dear, CONDITIONS.
