showed so strong an inclination to transmit them.
By a fresh transgression of the most solemn treaties, the union of the Ligurian republic with France has been effected. This event of itself, the circumstances which have accompanied it, the formalities which have been employed to hasten the execution thereof, the moment which has been chosen to carry the same into execution, have, alas! formed an aggregate which must terminate the sacrifices which his Imperial Majesty of Russia would have made, and the pressing request of Great Britain, and the hope of restoring the necessary tranquility to Europe by the means of negotiation.
Without doubt his Imperial Majesty of Russia would not have insisted so strenuously on the conditions fixed by him, if the French government had fulfilled the hope that it would respect the first tie which holds society together, and which upholds the confidence of engagements between civilized nations; but it cannot possibly be believed, that Bonaparte when he granted the passports, which were accompanied with the most pacific declarations, seriously intended to fulfil them, because during the time which would necessarily elapse between the granting of the passports and the arrival of the Undersigned at Paris, he took measures which, far from facilitating the restoration of peace, were of such a nature, that they annihilated the very grounds of peace.
The Undersigned, in recalling to the recollection of his Excellency, Baron Hardenberg, facts with which the Cabinet of his Prussian Majesty is very minutely acquainted, must at the same time, inform him, that he has just now received from his Russian Majesty an order, dated the 9th (21st) June, to return the annexed passports immediately, and to request your Excellency to transmit the same to the French government, with this present declaration, since no use whatever can be made of them in the present state of affairs.
The Undersigned avails himself of this opportunity, to renew to his Excellency the assurance of his respect. (Signed)
N. VON NOVOSELTZOFF.

THE INVASION OF ENGLAND.
Paris, July 28. The Emperor is still at St. Cloud; every thing however, is in readiness for his departure. The general opinion here is, that, within a very short time, some attempt will be made upon England.
Haerlem, July 29. On Saturday last, at noon, arrived the 8th regiment of French chasseurs, and also the 6th regiment of French hussars, who after halting for one night, continued their march towards the Helder. Yesterday about fifty French gens d'armes marched in here, and this morning they also took the road to the Helder. The regiment of Waldeck, which yesterday reached Zantpoort and Velzen, marches this day to Alkmaar, and thence proceeds to the same destination as the preceding corps. The 35th and 18th French infantry are expected here to-day, and the 4th battalion of Batavian chasseurs are expected at Spandam and Sparnwood. The French infantry will reach this place on the 31st; and on the 1st of August, the 92d, French infantry will march into Beverwyk, and the 2d Batavian infantry into Zoutpoort and Velven. All those corps are marching in succession for the Helder; from which place, we hear, that the horse and foot artillery were, immediately on their arrival, put on board the ships of war and a considerable number of transports, and that they are daily exercised in all the necessary manœuvres.
A private letter from Boulogne, extracted from the Paris Journal, states the following:—
I have seen here the finest spectacles in the world—that of 2000 vessels, and 150 or 200,000 men, in this city, in the neighbouring towns, and in the surrounding camps. I have also seen the English ranging at large, with sometimes 25 ships, some of which endeavour to approach; but the three forts, which have been erected within these few years, quickly obliged them to sheer off. The fort of Heart is to the North, the fort of Creche to the South, and the wooden fort, which was finished within the last six months. Our vessels go out with impunity, and anchor in the roads for the moorings of the ships of war, which has interested me exceedingly. The flotilla is composed of prams, or vessels of a larger size, carrying cannon and horses; of gun boats, vessels of a third kind, or pinnances; galleys or sloops, with 24-oars. They have added to the port of Boulogne a large basin, which contains more than half the vessels. They have extended the chain to stop the
fire ships which the English have in vain endeavoured to send among them. The fort of Vimereux, at two leagues to the north, is a new creation of the Emperor: it contains the Imperial corvettes, and a number of other vessels. In that village is seen the epitaph of Pilatre, who perished there by his own imprudence the 15th of June, 1783. The camps formed at Boulogne, at Etaples, and elsewhere, are still an uncommon spectacle. Innumerable square barracks, made of wood, and plastered without, contain the soldiers. They are disposed in three ranges, with gardens between. It is there that our brave fellows expect with impatience the signal for glory. This great enterprize merits the monument which the army has erected in honour of the Emperor. It is 170 feet high.
By the Sails.
BALTIMORE, SEPT. 13.
The following account of a Melancholly catastrophe has been received from a respectable source, and vouched for as a true statement. ON Wednesday evening, about the hour of 11, Mr. Lindsey, mate of the ship Persia, called at the lodging of Mr. Chamberlain, midshipman on board the U. S. brig Hornet, and desired him to take a walk, taking him at the same time by the lapel of the coat. Mr. Chamberlain walked a few paces with Mr. Lindsey when Mr. Lindsey struck him with his fist, and kicked him several times. Mr. Chamberlain immediately drew a pistol from his side and shot Mr. Lindsey through the head—the ball passed just above his left eye, and lodged in the brain. After the above had taken place, Mr. Chamberlain immediately gave himself up to captain Chauncey.
BOSTON, SEPT. 19.
Bloody Scene at Algiers.
Capt. Shillaber, arrived at Salem, on Monday last, from Leghorn, informs, that on the 7th July, a brig arrived there from Algiers, and brought accounts of an insurrection at that place, and that the Dey had beheaded 400 Jews. One Jewish family made their escape in the brig.
A letter from Cpt. Williams, at Leghorn, to the editor of the Salem Gazette, gives the following particulars of this event:—
Leghorn, July 8.—Yesterday arrived here an Imperial brig, in five days from Algiers. She informs, that that country was in dreadful confusion—that the Bedouin Arabs, said to be headed by a Frenchman, had revolted, and marched towards Algiers—that the Dey on their approach, detached 7000 troops to attack them, but that these, after a desperate battle, were defeated, and cut off to a man—that the Arabs then rushed to the city, which they successfully attacked, and had taken a principal fort—that another attempt had been made to assassinate the Dey, he having received several stabs, and said to be mortally wounded—that he had cut off 400 of the richest Jews heads, and that the bloody work was still going on when the vessel left that place. There were at that time three vessels at Algiers, a Ragusan, an Imperialist, and a Swede, who all cut their cables, and run away from the port, permitting as many Jews to come as could get on board.—The brig that has now arrived, has 100 on board, and it is expected the Swede has at least 200 more.—Such is the news at Leghorn.
Official Dispatches.
The following are a part of the Official Dispatches, which have been received by Government from the U. S. Squadron sent against Tripoli:—
Preliminaries of peace with Tripoli, were signed on the 2d of June last, and on the same day, capt. Bainbridge, the officers and crew of the late frigate Philadelphia, were liberated.
The following is an extract of a letter from Commodore Rogers* to the Secretary of the Navy dated
U. S. Ship Constitution, June 8, 1805.
The Bashaw, conscious, that by a continuance of his obstinacy, his town would fall a sacrifice to our forces, in the course of this summer, proposed to us terms of peace, which left us no interest, or motive in not acceding to them, as he acknowledges that he felt sensible our efforts would be sufficient to reduce his town and oblige him to retire to the mountains. This acknowledgement at once precluded the possibility of acquiring any honor by our arms; but indeed the reverse—as it would have been persecuting an enemy, who, in anticipation of our vengeance, by his own acknowledgement, felt himself more than half vanquished, and who perhaps in his savage pervertedation, might have carried his resentment to the sacrifice of 300 of our unfortunate countrymen, whom chance had placed in his power.
*Commodore Barron, owing to the debilitated state of his constitution, was constrained to resign the command of the squadron to capt. Rogers, on the 22d May.
The above dispatch from Com. Rogers, covered a letter from Capt. Hull, of the Argus, brig, dated off Derne, April 28, which gives a detail of the operations of Gen. Eaton, and the exiled Bashaw of Tripoli, against the territory of the Usurper, and the co-operation therein of a detachment from the U. S. squadron, consisting of the Argus, of 18 guns, Capt. Hull, Nautilus of 14 guns, capt. Dent, and the Hornet, (a bomb vessel) Lt. Evans. With this force, Derne was taken on the 27 April, and the American flag hoisted on the battery. Gen. Eaton was wounded by a musket ball through the wrist, one marine (John Welton) killed, and two marines, (David Thoms and Bernard O'Brien) wounded.
Among the dispatches which have been received by government, is the following letter, which explains the nature and extent of the assistance granted to Hamet Bashaw.
MALTA, MARCH 20, 1805.
Dear Sir,
You must be sensible that in giving their sanction to a co-operation with the Ex-Bashaw, government did not contemplate the measure as leading necessarily and absolutely to a re-instatement of that Prince in his rights to the regency of Tripoli. They appear to have viewed the co-operation as a means, whereby, if there existed energy and enterprize in the exile, and attachment to his person on the part of his former subjects, might be employed to the common furtherance and advantage of his claims and our cause; but without meaning to fetter themselves by any specific or definite attainment as an end, which the tenor of my instructions, and the limited sum appropriated for that special purpose clearly demonstrates. I fear, by the Convention you seem to think of making with Hamet, that a wider range should be taken than is consistent with the powers vested in me for that particular object. These apprehensions may perhaps prove groundless on further representation from you, but under present impressions I feel it my duty to state it explicitly that I must withhold my sanction to any convention or agreement, committing the United States, or tending to impress upon Hamet Bashaw, a conviction that we have bound ourselves, to place him upon the throne.
The consequences involved in such an engagement cannot but strike you forcibly, and a general view of our situation in relation to the reigning Bashaw, and our unfortunate countrymen in Tripoli will be sufficient to mark its inexpediency.—I shall consider it my duty, as it is certainly my inclination to afford you every aid compatible with the authority vested in me and commensurate with the means that have been placed at my disposal; and you may rely upon the most active and vigorous support from the squadron, as soon as the season and our arrangements will permit us to appear in force before the enemy's walls; but I wish you to understand that no guarantee or engagement to the exiled Prince, whose cause I must repeat we are only favouring as an instrument to our aid and not as an end in itself, must be held to stand in the way of our acquiescence to any honorable and advantageous terms of accommodation which the reigning bashaw may be induced to propose. Their terms being once offered and accepted by the representative of government appointed to treat of peace, our support to the Ex-Bashaw must necessarily cease. You will not however conceive, fir, that these considerations, important and necessary as they are, ought to induce us at once to abandon the benefits which the measures you have adopted seem to promise. I perceive a perseverance in them by no means incompatible with a total freedom from any trammels with respect to a definite object, which freedom I deem it all important to preserve, especially when I view the peculiar situation in which capt. Bainbridge and his fellow sufferers may be placed by this co-operation. If by your energy and exertions added to the supplies now sent forward, you succeed in getting Derne and Bengaze, we may calculate that having received this impulse from our strength, the Ex-Bashaw will himself possess sufficient energy, courage and talents, and if accounts are correct, sufficient interest among the people to move on with firm steps, and to conduct his friends and followers to the gates of Tripoli, but should he be found deficient in these essential qualities, or that it appears that we have been deceived in regard to the dispositions of the inhabitants, he must be held as an unfit subject for further support or co-operation.
Signed S. BARRON.
To WILLIAM EATON, Esq.
Our ransomed countrymen, we learn, sailed from Gibraltar, for home, the 3d August, in the President frigate of 44 guns. Capt. Barron. Their arrival may be hourly expected.
An excessive scarcity of provisions at Tri-
poli, occasioned by the rigour of the blockade, it is said to have been one of the causes of the Bashaw's eagerness to negotiate.
On the receipt of the late dispatches from the Mediterranean, Gen. Dearborn proceeded express with them from Washington to Monticello.
Another French Fleet out.
Capt. Hartwell, of the ship Lewis William, arrived at Philadelphia, on the 13th Aug. lat. 44, 10, lon. 15, 30, W. fell in with a French fleet, consisting of 34 sail. He was taken on board the Admiral's ship and had his papers examined. At the same time saw a ship to the Southward, on fire which one of the officers informed, was an English letter of marque which they had taken in the morning, and set fire to. The fleet, when capt. Hartwell left them, was steering S. S. W. supposing them bound to the West-Indies.
The ship London Packet arrived at Philadelphia, on Saturday last, from London, and brought papers to Aug. 10.
Mr. Bowdoin was in London, and expected to remain 3 or 4 months.
Jerome Bonaparte has been reconciled to his brother Napoleon, on condition that he leaves seven years at sea.
Gen. Moreau, occupies a house near Trenton, on the Pennsylvania side of Delaware. He intends, as soon as possible, to become an American citizen. He is easy of access, and affable. It is repeated, that he refused invitations, to enter into the service of Spain and Russia. The political disputes of Newyork and Pennsylvania must be nauseous to a man who has seen the dreadful effects of the prevalence of a revolutionary spirit.
In the Connecticut Legislature there will be, it is thought, a greater federal majority than in the last. Two democrats were chosen in New-London by a majority of 4, owing to federalists withdrawing from the meeting before the election had terminated. In Norwich, N. Shipman and B. Snow, federalists were chosen.

Butler, Booksellers in Northampton—the publishers in behalf of the author.
PARIS.
In a letter to a friend, an American gentleman, now in France, gives the following description of the Metropolis of Europe;—Paris is now as splendid and fashionable as in the gay times of Lewis XIV. The emperor has embellished the Thuilleries, restored Versailles, repaired the Chateau of Fontainebleau, and indeed, is lavishing the money of his subjects on the improvement of Paris, and the grandeur of his palaces. His ambition is now turned to magnificence and splendor at home, and his court most strikingly exhibits it.—I passed through Milan as he was entering the city, for his coronation, with his magnificent retinue, thro' triumphal arches, and ranges of prostrate subjects.
With respect to amusements, the Opera at Paris is still in its glory, though M c Vestris is about leaving it, being wholly forgotten in the wonders of M. Dupont.
We wish to detect an error, generally received, that the United States have been in the habit of paying an annual tribute to Tripoli; which we are now rid of. The only agreement ever made between the United States and Tripoli, was that concluded Nov. 4, 1796, during the Washington administration by Mr. Joel Barlow, appointed by Col. Humphreys, then minister to Portugal, for the purpose. The tenth article of that Treaty, is as follows:—
Art. X. The money and presents demanded by the Bey of Tripoli, as a full and satisfactory consideration on his part, and on the part of the subjects, for the treaty of perpetual peace and friendship, are acknowledged to have been received by him previous to his signing the same according to the receipt which is here annexed; except such part as is promised the part of the United States, to be delivered and paid by them on the arrival of their consuls in Tripoli, of which part a note is likewise to be annexed. And no pretence of any pecuniary or further payment is ever to be made by either party.
We have been thus particular, because it has been falsely asserted in some of the democratic papers, that Mr. Adams waived public revenue, by annual tribute to Tripoli, when he had a fleet that could protect commerce without tribute.

Portland,
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1805.
Since our last, the arrival of capt. Blake at this port, in 37 days from Liverpool, has furnished us with London papers to Aug. 9; the principal articles of intelligence has been anticipated by arrivals at Boston. A very lengthy answer to the Note of Baron Novosiltzoff, has been published in French papers as a communication from Berlin, at the same time, from the state cunning and policy it displays, no doubt can be entertained of it being the genuine production of the Corsican Usurper.
STATE OF HEALTH.
The Board of Health in Philadelphia on the 13th inst. published an address to the inhabitants, in which, after mentioning the origin and progress of the fever, earnestly recommend an entire evacuation of those parts of the city where the disease at present prevails, as a mean of preventing its further extension. Two hundred tents have been prepared at Rose Mount, a high and airy situation, for the reception of those who are unable to provide for themselves.
At Philadelphia, on the 13th of September there were eleven new cases in Southwark, and eight in the city and Northern Liberties. The deaths were, twelve adults and three children. On the 14th of Sept. there were twelve cases in Southwark, and seven in the city. In Hospital 50, convalescent 18. Interments 13 adults, one child.
In New York the fever rages with greater violence, and has extended to almost every part of the city, and it is supposed upward of 50,000 have removed, none but the poorer class remaining.
New-York, Sept. 14—in the last 24 hours, there were eleven new cases of fever, and three deaths.
Sept. 14—in the last 24 hours, there were thirteen cases, and thirteen deaths.
Sept. 15, in the last 24 hours, there were fifteen cases, and nine deaths.
The principal seat of the disease is between Burling and Old Slip, as far west as Pearl-Street.
Sept. 16—in the last 24 hours, there were eighteen new cases, and nine deaths.
The deaths at New-York in the week ending, Sept. 14, 89—adults 56, children 33—of the fever thirty five—consumption 8.
The Board of Health of New-York have reported their recommendation to the inhabitants of the infected part of the city to remove immediately therefrom. For the poor, buildings and provisions have been provided at Bellevue. In case of neglect to remove, the Board threaten to resort to compulsory measures. Removals to the healthy parts of the city are not allowed.
On Tuesday last, John Acery, was liberated from the Goal this Town, after having patiently been detained as a Prisoner there, six years.
Appointment. —John Kitteredge is appointed Collector for the port of Gloucester. The personal public services of this gentleman we believe are not much known. We understand he was the bearer of the last presidential votes of this State to Washington—this merited some reward;—and his father has been long known in the ranks of antediluvianism, from his opposition to the Federal Constitution in the Convention of this State, down to the present day—this deserved more—both together probably amount to the value of a good office.—Salem Gaz.
VERMONT. —"firm and steady." We are happy in announcing the reelection of his Excellency Isaac Tichenor, Governor; and Benjamin Swan, Esq. Treasurer of Vermont. Further we have not learnt.—Cent.
The Legislature of Orleans have established a Company for the improvement of inland navigation, by canals, &c. The company is to have a capital of 200,000 D. After their interest shall exceed fifty per cent the residue is to be paid into the territorial treasury.—Pal.
MARRIED.
In North Yarmouth, Dr. John Green, of Eastport, to Miss Abigail Field, the former place. In Hallowell, Mr. William Cooper, mer. to Miss Elizabeth Shurburne, of Portsmouth. In Boston, Mr. Samuel Drew, to Miss Lucretia Bray. —Capt. Francis C. Butler, to Miss Francis Bert. —Mr. Samuel Vaughan, jun. to Miss Elizabeth Brown in Salem, capt. Benjamin Waters, to Miss Eliza Beck. —Mr. David Swain, to Miss Lydia Nichols, in Groton, John Park Little, Esq. Attorney at law of Gorham, Maine, to Miss Mary J. Prescott, daughter of the late Hon. Oliver Prescott, Esq. of the former place.
DEAD.
In this town, Miss Sally Elliot, aged 23—whose amiable and virtuous qualities, commanded the esteem of all who knew her. Mrs. Eunice Davis, aged 21, wife of Mr. Nath. D. —Capt. Daniel Wyer, aged 60
At St. Thomas, William Clements, of this town, aged 19. The best eulogy which any one can obtain, is bestowed upon the character of this young man, by the regret and sorrow which all his acquaintance feels at his early exit—he acquired the esteem and love of society by his many conduct and mildness of manners. In Newburyport, Mrs. Susanna Dana, wife of the Rev. Samuel Dana, of Marblehead. At Washington, on the 11th inst. of yellow fever Mr. John H. H. H. the celebrated comedian; His two children are now at school in Washington. The following obituary notice of Mrs. Hutton, whose death was mentioned in our last, was then unavoidably omitted.—That life is long that answers life's best end is a truth that has been fully exemplified in the character of this lady. Left in a state of widowhood, in early life, with a family of children, and a mother to support, called forth the energies of a capacious mind, and the duties which she has unceasingly performed, have been witnessed and acknowledged by all that knew her; and could not fail of proving a source of heartfelt consolation in her dying hour.—Two children are left to lament the loss of a beloved mother; and what adds peculiar poignancy to the grief that is naturally excited on this occasion, is the reflection that an aged mother is hereby deprived of her only earthly prop; and that this shock will shortly "bring down her gray hairs with sorrow to the grave."

Aug. 31, lat. 29, 55, lon. 71, was spoke the brig Ruby, Small, from Portland for Havana, in great distress, having been over-set, had lost his masts and every thing off deck, and remained full of water for three days, having no provisions but raw beef to eat, and little water, was trying to get into Charleston. Arrived at Salem, brig Decatur, Jones, of Bath, dismasted—in her came, a sail, named Gridley Lovis, who says he belongs to Hingham, and was impressed from the brig Hannah, of Newburyport; by the British loop of war Indian, Capt. Austin, from Halifax.—When the Indian failed from Halifax, Lovis says he had but 35 men; but during the time he was on board (one month) there were Americans and others, pressed on board to make 195—of which 60 were impressed Americans; and that he fears as many as thirty seamen's protections taken away from Americans, torn up, and they and their country "damned." The Indian had in tow the ship "Ocean," from England, where she had been carried in, tried, and cleared; but capt. Austin said he would carry her to Halifax, where he new the would be condemned. Such is Lovis' story. We know not to whom he told it but it appears highly colored.—It was the duty of the person to whom he made the relation, to have required his deposition before a magistrate to the truth of the assertions, and to have transmitted it to Government.—In the days of the Washington and Adams' administrations, the scandalous insults which are daily made on our commerce by the English French and Spanish "pirates and freebooters" would not tamely and silently been bore.—Spirited remonstrance would have been made—Embargoes would have been on; and measures taken to obtain redress and prevent future spoliation. "Pirates and freebooters" are not to be deterred from their depredations by newspaper ranting;—the strong arm of government energetically employed, can alone teach them, that they cannot violate the laws of nations with impunity.—Cont.

Worthy of Attention.
FOR SALE, a valuable estate in Scarborough, consisting of an half acre of LAND, in a high state of cultivation, improved as a garden spot—a large and very commodious DWELLING HOUSE, 48 feet by 38, containing 5 rooms on the lower floor, and 6 chambers, completely finished; accommodated with an excellent cellar under the whole, containing two brick arches. It has, for a long time, proved a very valuable stand for a trader, and would prove much more so for a house of public entertainment. Viewing the superior advantages of its local situation on a very great travelling post road, only eight miles distance from Portland and its from Saco, communicating with both by very pleasant roads, and in the vicinity of a delightful tract of farmland, where the sportsman with his gun, and his angle, may find an ample range for the agreeable amusement of hunting and taking a variety of game on the banks of the river, circumstances which cannot fail to excite associations for a social hour; the public opinion, we presume, will never censure the proprietors for a great degree of partiality, in observing that in their estimation, as a stand for a house of public entertainment, it cannot be exceeded by any spot in the District of Maine. For terms of sale, apply to Joseph Emerson, or John Wood, living on the premises. Scarborough, Sept. 23, 1805.
FOR SALE, a tract of land, pleasantly situated in Durham, on the Main Road from Freeport and able Politician, united with it, and is about 6 miles deep and intrepid Partisan, a report Corner; consisting of acres of mowing and tillage, and wood land.

PATENT MEDICINES.
IMPROVED JAUNDICE BITTERS, or the Grand Anti-Bilious Corrective—Prepared by David Denni- son, at his Dispensary, No. 231, Oxford Road, Lon- don. Under the patronage of the first Physicians in Europe and America.
THIS preparation combines all the good qualities of every medicine of the kind ever offered to the public; the botanical characters of the ingredients, of which it is composed, has long attracted the notice of the faculty, and under various formulas unequivocally received the undivided sanction of successful experi- ment.—It is greatly antiseptic and particularly effect- ual in correcting and preventing the putridity of bile; it has also been employed with great success, in very dangerous epidemic fevers. It not only cleanses the prima viæ, but likewise gently warms the habit and quickens circulation, is particularly serviceable in hab- itual costiveness, in cases of phlegmatic temperament and sedentary life, when the stomach is oppressed and weakened. This elegant bitter may be successfully ap- plied to answer almost every purpose, particularly in loss of appetite, when the stomach is foul and disorder- ed by irregularities; the secretions are gently promoted and a plentiful perspiration produced; in some plaints of the jaundice this remedy is unequalled; the stomach is fortified and strengthened, and digestion effectually promoted; such a medicine is useful at all seasons, but particularly in the spring, by removing those sleepy melancholy sensations so unpleasant to the patient; the natural consequences of the approach of warm weather, upon bilious habits.—Price 3s. per Box.
WHEATON'S JAUNDICE BITTERS.
THE successful effects of which have been fully ex- perienced, in correcting and carrying off jaundice and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the fluking, faint, distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness; restoring also, strength to the weak and trembling limbs; removing the yellow- ness of countenance common to jaundice and weakly people; and also the dizziness of the head, & weakness of light. They are very useful for seamen to take of- ten when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preservative against disorders so incident to such cli- mates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by re- moving obstructions, carrying off bile and giving a free circulation to the blood.—Price 3s per box.
WHEATON'S ITCH OINTMENT.
A safe and efficacious remedy for the ITCH—Price 3s per box.
DEXTER'S RHEUMATIC PILLS.

They are also par- ticularly serviceable in removing Bilious and other ob- structions from the Stomach and Bowels—are an ex- cellent Medicine to obviate or check a bilious or yel- low fever at its commencement, by powerfully ex- pelling bilious, morbid, and putrefactive obstructions through the cutaneous pores. They remove windy oppressions and cholicky pains in the stomach and bow- els—eruptions from the face and skin—sweeten and purify the blood, and quicken its circulation—pro- duce a sweetness of the breath and a good appetite, by strengthening the digestive faculties.—Many affli- cations might be produced, showing the superior efficacy of the above pills—but, as the character which they have or may acquire is the best criterion by which the public can judge, they are omitted.—Price 2s 6d per box.

For Bilious Complaints.
Dr. Lee's (Genuine) Windham Bileous Pills. PREPARED by SAMUEL LEE, jun. of Windham, (Conn.)—The usefulness and importance of these Pills, at this season of the year, when epidemic diseas- es are too prevalent, and when most constitutions, from predisposition and infectious atmosphere, are inclined to yellow, bilious, and inflammatory fevers, have been verified by an experience of more than twelve years. The proprietor, in consequence of the uncommon good effects of his pills, and the reputation they had gained in his practice, was urged by his friends to have them patented. He at length consented: and in Ap- ril, 1793, he obtained from the President of the U States his Letters Patent. These were the first Pills ever patented in America, and their peculiar effects on the prevailing diseases in the United States and the W. Indies soon gave them that celebrity which their in- trinsic virtue merited.
The fame of Lee's Pill, and the ready sale they so universally meet, were truly a powerful temptation to pretenders, and very soon Bileous Pills, uttered into market, from all parts of the union. Some of the most clamorous of pill makers found great advantage from similarity of names, and were for a while able to pass their compositions upon the public, as the true, genuine, original Lee's Pills, and some have even had the effrontery to pretend to an originality in the pill business; but an acknowledgment of late, that the sales of their wares have become small and circumcribed, is conclusive evidence that the public have been taught by experience to be cautious how they purchase dra- stic preparations, merely on account of the presump- tion and effrontery of the author. It is now more than eight years since I obtained my patent;— and the inextinguishable demand for my pills, which has been, and is daily increasing, is a convincing proof of their superior virtues and salutary effects. I have no objection to the world being supplied with abundance of pills, but a conviction that the people have a right to correct information has induced me to come for- ward and state these facts. That the purchasers may be certain that they get the right kind; they will be particular to enquire for Lee's (Windham) Bileous Pill —and to observe that my name be attached to each bill of direction, in my own hand writing. They are for sale at most of the Druggist Stores in the city of New-York. SAMUEL LEE, jr. Patentee, of the Windham Bileous Pills. Windham, (Conn.)

DR. NORTHROP'S
NEW INVENTED BITTERS,
For the JAUNDICE, and all BILIOUS COM- PLAINTS.—Prepared in New York
DIFFERENT from the patent medicines in general, that cure all diseases, this will not cure all, but it will certainly cure some, especially those that arise from a wrong distribution of the bile, which being ob- structed is the greatest preventive to all diseases, and most conducive to health; it being an excellent pre- ventative against noxious vapors, unhealthy rooms, and infectious diseases. The medicine that has nothing but high swelling words to recommend it to sale, ought not to be sold.
The elixir of health, the elixir of life, the elixir of grace, &c. all have their virtues, but none of them will cure all the diseases of the human body.—This is the elixir of nature, the plain, natural produce of the earth, collected from trees, roots, plants, flowers, &c. —It is founded on medical principles, a most safe and effectual remedy against the jaundice and all those fa- tal disorders in the bowels, occasioned thereby, which carry off such a number of the human species. If a dose were given once or twice a day to all children, especially when they are teething, you might thereby prevent many disorders the bowels are liable to, by carrying off that crude matter which frequently oc- casions them, the bad effects whereof are often mani- fested by worms, rickets, convulsions, or other fatal symptoms, by strengthening the stomach and bowels causing good, laudable chyle, and thereby establishing a good constitution.
The author having been long in the study and prac- tice of phyic, of a weakly constitution, much trou- bled with bilious habits, not able to find a medicine that would correct the bile and carry off the jaundice, has made it his constant study in the course of his practice, to observe and find out by experiments a remedy for a disease so prevalent in these States, as well as in the West-Indies and other warm climates, to which he and others are so much exposed, and by repeated trials of sweet, sour and bitter things, of those that were collyre or astringent, those that were physical or purgative, diuretic and diaphoretic; those that would strengthen, invigorate, and give a high tone to the stomach, bowels and body, as opiates, &c. &c. or those that would moderate, relax, reduce and calm the constitution, as sedatives. By trying them different ways with other ingredients, with different persons, at different times, in great variety of propor- tions, both simple and compound; has at last light- ed upon a compound of proper articles in a just proportion, that he will recommend as an absolute cure for the jaundice, and certainly to prevent and gradually to carry off and cure all those diseases that arise from bilious matter collected in the stomach. But to pro- ceed from the overflowing of the gall; but actually arise from indigestion, viz. all kinds of nausea, squamous sickness, puking, belching, hicough, heart- burn, sour stomach, sleepy, dull, heavy feelings, pres- sure and distress of the vitals, with faintness, weak- ness of appetite, dim light, dizziness, &c. All these diseases and many more of the nervous kind, such as melancholy, dejection, hectic complaints, all hypochondriac and hysterical complaints, with pains in the head, sides, stomach, pale, rheumatism, drop- sies and low spirits, which arise from obstructions of morbid matter in the intestines, stomach and bowels, crudities and fumes of indigestion, which these bitters will actually remove—They in a remarkable degree promote digestion, by opening the prima viæ and clear- ing the first passages, create a natural appetite, correct the bile, strengthen the coats of the stomach, and there- by supersede the necessity of any other phyic—No one need be afraid to take them. They are a pure cordial for the weakish stomach. They promote an easy digestion, and by increasing the dose, prove moderately physical, by which means they regulate relaxes, dyteries, &c. By clearing and keeping off all constipations of the bowels they prevent those disagreeable thoughts as well as feelings, that commonly arise from collyre habits. They are recommended to all hypochondriacs and splenetic people, as their complaints arise from excess of tension or want of monument, by constantly tak- ing those they will find their appetite return, their mind more at ease, and their whole body invigorated. Likewise to students, sedentary persons, and all tak- cudgillians, for they take away that heavy and in- creasing quality of the rum that is always injurious. It is the most foreign vernissage, the most effect- ual cure for worms that ever came into practice, and ought to be kept in every family of children for no other purpose. (6woop.) July 24
