Amoskeag Canal Lottery.
THE Managers of the Amoskeag Canal Lottery, embrace this opportunity to express their gratitude to the Public for that liberal patronage, which has enabled them to carry thro' six Classes, in the space of little more than one year; & present them with the following General SCHEME of Four Classes more, in said Lottery, by which they presume they shall complete the sum which they are authorised to raise.
Table with 4 columns: Class, Tickets, Price, Deduction, Prizes. Includes Class 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th.
The Shares in the Canal, Mills, &c. will be conveyed by the Proprietor, receiving himself the privilege of redeeming the same, at any time within two years from the time of drawing such shares, he paying the amount of such prizes in money, and twelve per cent. per annum interest, to the time of such redemption. A slight inspection of the foregoing GENERAL SCHEME, will show that the last class contains an uncommon number of valuable prizes. To secure a chance for these prizes to adventurers in the 7th class, every holder of a ticket or tickets in this class shall be entitled to purchase an equal number in the eighth—Holders of tickets in the eighth to purchase an equal number in the ninth, and the same of the other classes;—provided application shall be made within twenty days from the publication of the list of prizes in the 7th, 8th, and 9th classes respectively. Whence it is apparent that for 3 dollars laid out in the 7th class a person may draw eight thousand in the last.
The Managers can assure the public that the money already raised (and they believe more) has been expended on the Canal; that the proprietor is now proceeding in the business with his usual ardor; and that nothing but the want of cash will prevent his completing the works, in the course of the present season—They therefore cannot help flattering themselves that, when gentlemen of property consider the chance for a profitable speculation which the above GENERAL SCHEME offers them, and contemplates the great advantages which must accrue to the public and particularly this town and vicinity from the completion of the work on Amoskeag Falls, they will come forward and give it that spirited and efficient patronage, to which alone the managers have ever looked for success in their undertakings. The seventh class will commence Drawing the 9th day of October next, in the usual manner.—But to give the adventurers all the Prizes, and secure to the Lottery the above deduction;—the Prizes, and Blanks drawn against the Number of the Tickets that are found sold, shall be opened, and declared as usual; but should any Number be drawn out that appears to be unsold the same shall be immediately rolled up again, and the Prize or Blank drawn against it, remain unopened, and both be put into separate boxes, there to remain till the drawing for the day is finished; then to be returned into the Wheels before they are removed. This method to be pursued from day to day, until the Tickets are sold, unless any should appear to be unsold when there remains only 200 in the Wheels; in which case, the Prizes and Blanks shall all be opened and declared, as they are drawn, whether sold or unsold. All Prizes not demanded within six months, shall be considered as generously relinquished to the Lottery. EPHRAIM ROBINSON, SAMUEL TENNEY, NATHANIEL PARKER, Managers. Boston, August 1.

MAL MAISON:
OU, LE CHATEAU DE MAISON.
This magnificent old castle, now the country residence of the Grand Consul of the French Republic, is pleasantly seated on the river Seine, nine miles from Paris, and three from St. Germain's; it was erected by Francis Mansart for Mons. De Longueil, President of Parliament and Superintendent of the Finances; and at the Revolution belonged to the Count D'Artois. Three noble avenues, disposed in the form of a cross, and having each two pavilions, decorated with different styles of architecture, and separated by a scosse, conduct you to the castle. The principal avenue, intersected with rods in the forest of St. Germain, has in perspective two pavilions, with Doric columns, supporting groupes of children bearing baskets of flowers. On entering the second avenue on the left, are placed on massy pedestals, statues of Mars and Minerva, with children and their attributes. A noble building, appropriated for stables, to which belong a riding-school, with the same on each side—The front of the castle on the court side is decorated in the antique style, with two orders of architecture, namely, the Doric, and the antient Ionic, ornamented with four vases, surmounted with an attic of Corinthian pilasters. On this side of the court are two plantations, most beautifully formed, that on the left is terminated by an orangery. The castle is surrounded by a dry fosse, and bordered by a terrace, which continues round the principal court. The vestibule, after the taste of that of the Thuilleries, is beautified by columns and Doric pilasters of one solid piece. In the hall the tapestry is after Jordans; and on the staircase on the landing are Ionic pilasters, between which are large cornices, with groupes of figures, representing Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Music, Cupid and Hymen, and above all, the art of war. On the right is what were termed the apartments of the Queen. The King's apartments are on the other side of the hall, with the Corps de Garde, hung with tapestry, preferred to Mons. De Maillons, when he was Chancellor to the Queen Mother, and communicate with another chamber, supported by cariatides, in an attic raised out of the ceiling. On the side is a beautiful round cabinet; the periphery of the walls is embellished with Ionic pilasters, terminated with looking glass; and the ceiling forms a lofty dome. On the roof of the castle is an extensive terrace, bordered with an iron balcony: a handsome terrace stretches the whole length of the building, from which is a descent to a pasture, terminated by the river Seine; at the foot of the terrace on the left between the flights of the steps which form the figure of a horse, is a little cascade with five pipes, making as many sheets of water. Orange trees are placed in the walks in front, and in a half moon at the foot of the staircase.
METEOROLOGY.
The following curious notice has lately been published in one of the foreign journals by Schweighauser:—A prelate in the neighborhood of Basle, having extended in his garden an iron wire of considerable length, for the purpose of suspending from it a moveable mark to fire at, observed, that during variations of the atmosphere, which modified a change of weather, the wire emitted a stronger or weaker sound, according to the nature of these changes. He communicated this observation to Mr. Haas, who had come to see him, and who, on his return to Basle, having caused a similar wire to be extended in his garden, observed the same phenomenon. Some time after the celebrated Volta, when on a visit to Haas, saw this new kind of barometer, and in order to ascertain the nature of the meteoric humming it emitted, extended wires of different metals in different directions; but found that no vibration took place, except in regard to those wires extended in the direction of the meridian. Volta, in consequence of this peculiarity, ascribed the phenomenon to magnetic fluid, and speaks of it in his works.—I do not, however, know that this new effect of a fluid so universally diffused, has been sufficiently examined.
Mr. Haas, jun. informed me that the wires ought at least to be an 100 feet in length (those of his father were about three hundred) and that they must be stretched as much as possible, they do not sound till they have been exposed to the air for several weeks. Mr. Haas, jun. had extended, for some time, fourteen of different sizes which, emitted sometimes very agreeable sounds. London Paper.
An ingenious Swede has several years past, preserved his fruit trees by the following means, from having their blossom blighted by frosts in the spring. When the frosts come on, in the end of Autumn, he pours water in abundance round the trunks of the trees, so that the roots feel the impression of the cold. In the beginning of spring, he heaps snow upon them, by which the vegetation is retarded, and the trees are hindered from blossoming too soon—consequently, the buds do not appear till there is no longer any thing to be feared from the spring frosts.
One of the largest steam engines in England, which has been erecting some time in his Majesty's dock-yard, at Portsmouth, by Messrs Bolton and Watts, was on Saturday completed and set to work. It will pump twenty tons of water in a minute, with a consumption of only a bushel and an half of coals per hour.
A London print of the 6th June, announces the early appearance of the Memoirs of the late Mrs. Robinson, in four volumes, written by herself, including anecdotes of many of the most distinguished persons of the present period; together with some posthumous pieces in verse and prose.
From the Norfolk Herald,
CONON.—No. I.
Messrs. Whitt & O'Corner.
THESE papers are not written to depreciate or to fill with unpleasant sensations a man, who has reached a high degree of celebrity. Wide is it from my disposition to cause a moment of unwholesome uneasiness to the dweller of the humble cottage, or the proud inhabitant of the princely and magnificent palace. Nature has impressed on my mind, in legible and indecible characters, a command, never to occasion unnecessary pain, even to the vilest and refuse of society. If however by rebukes they may be formed she enjoins me not to spare their feelings. It has from my earliest youth been a principle with me, to point out the faults in the conduct of my acquaintance, if by it, I can reasonably reclaim them.
From my knowledge of the President of the United States, I had believed, that he was a man, whose integrity was unimpeachable, and whose zeal for his country's weal was of the most ardent kind. To see America renowned throughout the world for the arts and sciences, for her magnanimity and impartiality in her intercourse with other states, and for a government whose distinguished traits should be wisdom, justice and freedom, were, I have often declared, the reigning desires of his bosom.—This praise, Sirs, was not the effusion of adulation. It was a tribute I religiously believed due to his merit. But, since he has occupied the presidential chair, his conduct has not been blameless, since this period errors and acts of injustice are justly chargeable to him. They have not, however, as I fain would hope, proceeded from corrupt motives, but were the effects of a mistaken judgment.
From his inaugurating speech, I had flattered myself, that he would do every thing within the pale of his power, to reconcile the two parties, which have nearly effected the subversion of our happy form of government. Their animosity has been such, as to make old and sincere friends rancorous and irreconcilable enemies; and to such a pitch has it lately been carried, as to pretend that the sun of American glory and independence, was about to set forever.
We were told by the President in his speech, that we were all republicans, all federalists.—He went so far as to say, that the difference in the political sentiments of the friend of Adams and himself was scarcely discernable; in fine, that there was almost a perfect coincidence of opinion among the people of the United States.
From these avowed and undigested declarations, what was the natural inference? a sincere and resolute intention in him, to embrace every probable means of lifting the virulence of the two parties. He would not, the disinterested and ardent lover of these states, flattered himself, drive from their offices men, who had shown themselves anxiously bent upon, and capable of discharging with faithfulness, the duties of their station. Neither would he deal out exclusively to his friends and partisans the loaves and fishes of our government, wherever merit was found, whether dressed in the garb of federalism or anti federalism.* By pursuing this line of conduct, he would have ensured to himself the confidence and warmest support of all the estimable part of the nation. A man who tries to purchase immortality of glory by making himself the weather cock of party spirit and Jealousies, is engaged in a hopeless undertaking. A Roberpierre may sway the sceptre for a day, month, or year, but it cannot be long before it must drop from his hands. Kind providence has beneficently ordained, that vice shall never obtain an absolute dominion over virtue. The wretch, who would pollute his hands with the blood of his friend, in order to mount the ladder of power, may for a time by his success, dazzle the eyes of the world, and hear his name made with a protusion of encomium. The deformity of his mind however, cannot be long concealed. As soon as the penetrating eye of justice has unfolded it, his credit will begin to dwindle. If fortune should make it her province to continue him in power till he sinks into his grave, she cannot after his death, hand down his memory to posterity unsoiled with his vices. Turn over the leaves of the massy volumes that relate the story of man, and in them you will see the characters of crowned heads, victorious generals, and celebrated statesmen, depicted in odious and hateful colours, because they have obeyed the syren voice of depravity.
* It was hoped its claim to public trust, would be considered by him equally strong.

PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 7.
Extract of a letter from New-York, August 11, to a respectable house in this city.
"Arrived yesterday Capt. Jercovich, of the pillare Benvenuto, chartered by the American Consul at Tunis, to carry dispatches for government. The Consul told the captain that the Bey of Tripoli asks from the American government 500,000 dollars for the present, and 400,000 dollars for every ensuing year."
NEW YORK, AUGUST 12.
His Excellency Charles Pinckney, Esq. Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to the court of Madrid, failed from Charleston on the 25th ult.
Accounts at Havana, received at Charleston, (S.C.) state, that the Minister of Marine at that port had been arrested at midnight, seals put on his papers, and himself closely confined in the Moro Castle. Two Admirals and a Captain of a ship of the line, had also been put under an arrest. These proceedings were said to have taken place in consequence of some disagreement with the Comptroller of the Spanish navy.
ALBANY, AUG. 11.
It will appear by the following, that the successor of Gen. Jay, and the father in law of Gen. Cotes, is imitating a certain great man in "disturbing the tenure of office."
STATE APPOINTMENTS.
Edward Livingston, Esq. mayor, water bailiff and clerk of the market of the city of New York, vice Richard Varick, removed.
John Stagg, jun. sheriff of New-York, vice James Morris, removed.
Ebenezer Jenkins, (one of the Jeffersonian Electors) comptroller, vice John V. Henry, superceded.
BOSTON, AUGUST 15.
A vessel arrived at New York on Monday last from Tunis, in 90 days; having dispatches for government relative to the war said to be lately declared against the United States, by Tripoli.
From Gibraltar Mar. 29.
"Yesterday arrived H. M. cutter Swift, in 34 days from Alexandria. Capt. Provost, a passenger, informs us, that the British army in Egypt were (April 25) in high health and spirits; 700 wounded had returned to their duty; Rosetta and Damietta, had been taken; and 4000 British, and 10,000 Turk, had gone against Alexandria: - That the Bombay army, of 10,000 men had arrived at Suez: - That Sir J. B. Warren had joined Lord Keith, who had also been reinforced by four Turkish line of battle ships; making 17 sail of the line, before Alexandria, and one in Aboukir Bay -"
BOSTON, AUGUST 21.
Stop the MURDERER.
JASON FAIRBANKS, convicted of the WILLFUL MURDER of Miss FATES, under circumstances which aggravated the crime, has escaped from the gaol at Dedham, assisted by persons who, to say the least, have suffered their friends to triumph over the injunctions of religion, their conscience for justice, and the respect for the laws of the Country - laws which form the palladium of life, liberty and property! But we leave them to the potent upholding of their consciences. A reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS is offered to whoever will arrest the fugitive Murderer.
It has been reported here, and the rumour is already spreading fast throughout the continent, that the late outrage at Dedham, in refusing JASON FAIRBANKS, the atrocious murderer, was produced by a fermenting of the popular passions in that town, and by an armed mob. These opinions, if true, would show that we are already very corrupt, and near being very miserable in consequence of our corruption. The people cannot long be governed by laws, if their passions will not let them take their regular course. The first news was such as to leave no doubt that these opinions, however degrading and alarming, were founded in truth. If there was any error in the information, there seems to be no blame in admitting it to be true; for the error was not known till a better examination of the affair has led to founder and more comfortable results. It is now certain, from the examination of the Dedham gaol by several of the Justices of Norfolk county, and by other evidence, that not more than two or three were actors in this horrid labor of setting a murderer free. The inhabitants of Dedham were animated by a laudable a laudable zeal to detect the murderer and his accomplices. They submitted to the loss of their property, and to the toll of guarding by themselves, their bridges and avenues out of town, and filled up a liberal subscription of more than one hundred dollars in half an hour. We are also assured, that party principles have not disgraced the trial or any of the proceedings.
We notice with much pleasure the first number of the Gazette of the United States for the Country. In consequence of the exertions of a number of public spirited gentlemen, in different parts of Pennsylvania, more than 500 subscribers have been obtained. The intelligent public, in a very sensible and well written address, to the public, that the Gazette has an extensive circulation in parts where federal papers have rarely been seen; that it succeeds into the very recesses of Jacobinism, and where almost every truth will come to the light, and every falsehood will be exposed. This fact, and the fact that it is a federal paper, will, it is believed, be found a most effectual means of restoring the public mind to a proper state of feeling and action.

PORT OF PORTLAND.
TUESDAY, August 18.
Arrived ship Ocean, capt. Mannwatten, from New York.
Monday last, put into this port, a British armed brig from Halifax, being in pursuit of the French privateer L'Eperonier who has captured two or three British traders on our coast.
Arrived at Gloucester, ship Friendship, Capt. Warner, from Guadaloupe via Antigua. Left at the former place, July 26, brig Margaret, McLean, of Portland for Philadelphia, in 12 days: - Isabella, Brazier, of do. to sail in 14 days. Schooner Greyhound, Miller, of Portland, just arrived.
Capt. Short, arrived at Newburyport from Guadaloupe, which place he left the first of August, was boarded, on the same day, by an English privateer of 8 guns off Bassetstown, and treated with respect. While the Englishman was boarding him, a French Row-Galley, mounting one 24, and two 4 pounders, engaged the privateer, and after an action of two hours, in which most of the French were killed, they separated.
The ship John, Motley, of Portland, was at Aux Cayes, 18th July.
Capt. Freeman, of Biddeford, was left at Guadaloupe, August 1, to sail in 6 days.
Capt. Stawood, who arrived at Boston the 17th inst. brings information of the capture of the British ship - Capt. Atkinson, from Passamaquoddy, and two Schooners belonging to Yarmouth; bound from Boston, to Windsor, N. S. by a French privateer, mounting 8 guns and 55 men, supposed to be L'Eperonier, which captured the British Queen some time since.
THE WRECK.
IT is now ascertained, that the wreck of a vessel, mentioned in the Gazette of the 10th inst. as having been towed into Nantucket, is the wreck of the Schooner Sally, which was owned by Mr. Edward Stevens, a planter of Midway, in Georgia. He purchased the vessel at Killis-gworth, in Connecticut, the last autumn, and took her new from the docks. On the 7th of April, Mr. Stevens, with his lady, and a number of their friends, embarked in this vessel at Newport, in Georgia, for New York. On the 13th, a tremendous gale of wind was experienced on the southern coast, which continued, with various degrees of severity, until the 26th. Within this period, it is probable, the vessel overset, and the passengers and crew lost. The names of the captain and of the seamen are unknown. An unusual interest is taken in the loss of nine passengers, whose friends, in Georgia and Connecticut, must deeply feel and lament this affecting catastrophe.
On the 23d of July a very severe hurricane was experienced at Nassau, New Providence. A number of vessels in the harbor, three only rode out the storm, one of which was the American Schooner Prince. 120 vessels were stranded, including the American brig Adventure, Schooner Gertrude, Branch, Enterprise, Fancy, Ranger, Paragon, and Schooner Harmony. Many of the vessels had their masts blown away - not cut, but blown away by the board. A large number of trees were destroyed - "One tree measured 7 feet and 7 inches in circumference just above where it was broken. The whole damage on a hasty calculation is estimated at 100,000l."

DR. HAMILTON'S GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A SAFE and effectual remedy for acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, white swellings, Chilblains, Sprains, Bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c.
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted both for external and internal use.
The Pills operate mainly by urine and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humors: they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The Essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago and Palsy - and by its peculiar penetrating and dispersing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, itches of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, headache, indurated breasts, white swellings, &c. &c.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption. To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH, this discovery is of the highest magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it. Numerous cases of important cures performed by the above medicines, may be seen at the place of sale.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant Fevers, is recommended
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS,
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feeling, in several parts of the West Indies, and the Southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, New Orleans, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be produced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has under providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Ends of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once in every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an excellent preventative - and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, that use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid formations - to restore and amonish the system - to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance - They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness - sickness at the stomach and severe dyspepsia - and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preferred for use by every seaman.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS,
For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermitent Fevers - These drops are truly of their being cured by these drops after the bark and every other medicine had proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injure the constitution exceedingly, and bring on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which upon trial have either been found dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but using a very nauseous medicine, and seldom taken in a sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children and those who have weak stomachs are frequently left for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLASTER.
An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effects of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, discharges of rheum, dullness, itching, and films on the eyes; never failing to cure those malads which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak light. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS,
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR,
For the cure of every kind of head-ache.
THE DANISK LIP SALVE,
Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconstancy occasioned by colds, &c. &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy color and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel, from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which is apt to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
GOWLAND'S LOTION, CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, &c.

POETRY.
INTRODUCTORY FABLE, from a work lately published entitled the Enchanted Plant.
OFT, to beat the sultry hours, In thought I've animated flowers, Enlivening thus my walk; And though no benefit professed, Their calculating powers have shrewdly guessed And long to hear them talk.
It chanced one lovely day in June, Just at the maddening time of noon, I spoke this wish aloud; When from a piny, with surprise, I saw a gradual mist arise, And form a silver cloud.
Forth from the glittering veil, behold, In insect trappings, green and gold, A fairy figure sprang; Her wand of cowlip's stems seemed And on her head like diamonds beamed A calque with dew-drops hung.
Her silken pinions as she flew, Seemed by her size and purple hue, Spoils of the flower she left; She loosed a sigh, and touched my ear, While I half-pleased half-dread, with fear, Remain'd of speech bereft.
Then first a small melodious stone, Before to mortal wight unknown, Struck my enraptured sense; "Flora," it murmured "grants thy prayer, Long have her treasures been thy care, Receive thy recompence."
This said, she vanish'd from my sight, And since, with ever new delight, I tend my fragrant boards; No solitude exists for me, Since every flower and shrub, and tree, Society affords.

Wheaton's Jaundice Bitters.
Secured to him by letters Patent from the President of the United States.
THE successful effects of these Bitters have been fully experienced, 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 sinking faint distrest feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness, so disagreeable to be borne, and the pressure and distress of breathing; restoring also strength to the weak and trembling limbs, removing the yellowness of countenance common to jaundice and weakly people, and also the symptoms of the head and weakness of the sight. They remarkably relieve low spirited and melancholy people, and carry off hysterical and hypochondriac complaints. They are an excellent remedy for gouty and scorbutic disorders. They are very useful for Seamen to take often when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preservative against disorders incident to such climates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by removing obstructions, carrying off bile, and giving a free circulation to the blood.
The above Bitters are for sale by JOHN COE, at No. 5, Fifth-street—And at his Shop in Newgate-street.—Price 25 cts. the Box. Portland, July 13, 1801. (6 m —69)
