Joel Earlt. Esq. after having been u/iwards of 20 days confined with a nervous fever. A Committee of th*: House of As sembly of New-Jersey, have reported, that it would be inexpedient for the Le gislature of that State to accede to snv amendment to the Constitution of the ! United States, for preventing the ex tension of the jiuliciewy power to con troversies between citizens of the differ ent stales, between citizens of the same state, claiming lands under grants from different states, or between citizens of a state, and citizens or subjects of a fo reign state, as proposed by the Legis lature of Kentucky. The house unan imously confirmed the report. ■ Robert. IVright. Est/. lias been chosen by the Legislature, Governor of the State of Maryland. AARON BURK. Rumors, of which the name of Aaron Burr is made the vehicle, actually swarm around us; many of them of such a complexion, that it might be criminal either to treat them with in difference, or to receive them as abso lutely true. Under such circumstan ces, it is our duty to record them.— Let it not be imagined, that we have any doubts of tbe virtue and patriotism of the Western States, or any appre hensions of any machinations to sepa rate them from the union. On the con trary, we believe their affection to the union and the administration, unbound ed. Notwithstanding, there may be men among them who are deluded by their ambitious views, and who may form the most unpromising projects. It is affirmed as an unequivocal fact, that a contract has been entered into i with Comfort Tyler, for furnishing, on ; the waters of the Ohio, about the be- j ginning of October, provisions to the ! amount of 40,000 dollars, at the highest : market /trices. This is vouched by u c- ■ dible men, who declare that they have ! the information from those who have j seen the contract. The fact is like- j wise corroborated by several persons to ! whom offers of purchase were made, j but who declined entirely from the mys- \ torious appearance of the business. It is affirmed as undcliable, that during the last winter, Mr. Burr offered Gen.! Eaton a commission, which the latter . rejected ; in consequence of which the i latter gentleman, at an entertainment at which Mr. Burr was present,*gave a toast to this effect.. May the arm be withered, and the head he paralized, that shall attempt or meditate a sepura- i lion of the states.’’ Hat. Intelligencer. _____ The detachment of militia which j lately marched under the command of i major Claiborne, to reinforce our Iron- j tier in Orleans territory, are-on their re turn home, except the Adams troop. The Spaniards having thought proper to cross the Sabine quietly, their servi ces became unnecessary. Whatever i may have been the motive of their Don ships, for the unjust encroachmet and intrusion into our territory, their pre- cipatate retreat on the approach of our troops, will not we presume, be thought to add to ther reputation for bravery. .Yatchez Herald -J letter from Governor Wm. C. C. Clai borne, to Cafuain John Shaw, comman der of the U. S. marine force, in Acw- Orleuns. (COPY.) New-Orleans, 7th Oct. 1806.

NEWARK. (N.jA NOV. 4. Messrs. Editors—About four years since, I providentially .non dos a French physician m eminent . recipe to cure the Drop y. tnr mit known to some ot my acquaintance, tvno were afflicted with this malady ; m y made trial of the remedy, and with success ; indeed, I have never known it to fail ; oi effecting a cute, when the medicine i has been properly made, duly taken, i and persevered :n. I could furnish ma- ! ny instances of its g> eat and happy es- i I Lets, but I will mention one example i j only. A lady, about 70 years old, had 1 ' the dropsy to that degree, that she i i was fearful to stand on her feet lest her | ■ sk'ii should burst. T saw her in that j j situation ; and it was apprehended she j ; would die in a very short time. She, I however, heard that 1 had a receipe to ! cure the dropsy, and was anxious to i experience it. She took the medicine, according to the prescription ; in less than a week, by evacuation, the swel -1 ingot her body entirely abated, and, ' j in a few weeks thereafter, she was res- , tored to perfect health, i Flic receipe soon became in great : demand: 1 furnished copies of it to divers persons—and that it might be more gener-diy known, 1 published it in ! the Centinel of Freedom. Since which, I have, to the present peri d, been re | peatedly called on by persona, net only ; in this state, butaisoin ire stale of N. i lork, for this receipe, and have this j moment finished copying it for a friend j a distance. To save myself the | trouble, if possible, of transcribing the recipe, as heretofore, 8c that still great er publicity may be given to it, I request that you will again insert in your paper; and should the printers of newspapers 1 in the U. States, publish this receipe, they, probably, would render essential benefit to muny of their fellow citizens. Friend of Man. Newark, Nov. 8, 1806. THE RECIPE. Put into a stone or earthen jug, a gallon of stale sour cider, together with a double handful of parsley roots and tops, out fine ; an handful of scraped horseradish; two table spoonfuls oE bruised mustard seed ; half an ounce oxymell of squills, and one ounce of Juniper berries, The liquor to be kept wartn by tbe fire, tweenty four hours ; to be often agitated, and then strained for use. Dose, for an adult, half a wine glass full, three time a day on an empty stomach.— The dose may be increased if necessary. After the water shail be discharged the patent should use moderate exer cise ; subsist on dry nourishing diet, and abstain from all liquids, as much as pos sible.
