MINISTRY OF THE MARINE.
Extracts of the reports of the Siege of St. Domingo, and of some events which preceded it, and addressed to his excellency the Minister of the Marine and of the Colonies, by General Ferrand.
Head Quarters of Santo Domingo, 20th Germinal, year 13.
MONSEIGNEUR —
It is flattering to me to have to announce and to report to you, the circumstances of a military event honorable to the troops I command and very advantageous to the mother country and to the colony. I mean the siege of Santo Domingo by the brigands with all their united forces. Heaven, upon this occasion, has favoured the arms of the empire with great success. This report will prove to his Imperial Majesty how much the free population and the army of St. Domingo are devoted to him.
I had for a long time been acquainted with the great preparations they were making, by means of the infamous commerce of some Americans, who have constantly supplied them with abundance of every thing necessary to maintain and extend their rebellion. I had information of their movements according as they went on, and I unremittingly laboured to frustrate their efforts by securing the affections of the Spaniards by a just administration and by every paternal care that the people love to find in their government. I had for a long time prepared their minds for the event which menaced them, and I was assured that their fidelity would not be shaken by it. — The French troops of the Havanna, under the orders of General Lavalette, were called upon. Provisions, arms, stores, and money we demanded of the Commissary, General Pichon. The Captain aid-de-camp Castel, also exposed my wants in a most urgent manner to all the private commissaries of the commercial relations. — Nothing arrived; I every where met with refusals. My situation grew worse according as the danger increased; I had to struggle against difficulties of every kind; I at length struck out a plan. Being destitute of troops, I issued decrees favourable to population which in a short time doubled French militia; being without money, I made bargains with merchants whom my operations inspired with some confidence. And thus I obtained what was most indispensable to my situation. It was in these trying circumstances that Captain Bruce, my aid-de-camp, arrived from France with the 1,300,000 livers, in bills of exchange upon the public treasure, which your Excellency sent me: this relieved my position a little.
On the 20th of Pluioise last, I learned that all the bands of the revolted were united. I lost not a moment.
The union of the numerous forces of the revolted left me no longer in doubt as to their real projects, and it was from that moment easy for me to judge that the frontiers were unable to make sufficient resistance to stop them in their march. I redoubled my care and activity to victual St. Domingo.
On the 21 Ventose, 1500 brigands came to reconnoitre the borough of Neylis; their chiefs setting off at length from Mireballais, arrived at St. Jean on the 5th Ventose, at the head of 6,000 men; and on the 8th the chief of battalion Vict was attacked in the post of Puerto, with such superior forces, that all resistance became useless.
At the same time another brigand chief, with 8,000 men, attacked the militia of Cabao, encamped and entrenched before the town of St. Yago, with equal success, due in like manner to the superiority of his forces. The brave colonel Serapio, of P'Orve perished upon this occasion, manfully fighting, and his troops, deprived of their chief, took refuge in the woods. The enemy pushed on hastily upon the town, entered it, surprised the unfortunate inhabitants incapable of bearing arms, massacred them without any distinction of age or sex, and hanged some of the members of the council of Notables. I learned this sad event from Mr. Franco, President of that department, and from some individuals who owed their safety to the swiftness of their horses.
A Prodigious population of the country, in women, children, old men, slaves, flying before the brigands came to take refuge in the town. I profited of all these hands to finish around us some pieces of fortifications that were not yet terminated; and every body assisted in this work: women, citizens, officers and soldiers. We cut down the trees and banteries, demolished the borough of St. Carlos, half a musket shot from the town, where the enemy might
have lodged, and I hastened to lay an embargo upon all the merchant vessels which were luckily in the port.
It was in this place so little favored in a military light, that the troops under my command conceived the hope of honoring themselves by a defence worthy of the annals of Europe; and I Monseigneur, recollected my duty to its full extent, and my engagement to preserve this place to his Imperial majesty.
On the 15 Ventose, at five o'clock in the evening, brigand chief, who had arrived with his forces upon the habitation Callard, a league and a half from St. Domingo, sent me by a Spaniard of the country, the summons by which he demanded the immediate surrender of the place, or threatened an implacable sacking. I did not judge it worthy of an answer.
It was highly necessary for me to convince the brigands that my intention was to defend the place to the last; which they would always have doubted of, as long as they saw merchantmen laying at anchor in the harbour. They might have thought that I retained these vessels in order to embark on board them in case of an evacuation, and this idea determined them to continue the siege with more constancy and vigour. Besides, this resolution made the troops see the necessity of making a victorious defence; and I was resolved not to leave so timid minds if there were any, a hope which might have compromised the safety of the place. In consequence, however desperate the determination appeared, I was fixed on it, and it was carried into execution on the same day. These vessels took their departure to the great astonishment of the Rebel Army; I profited by it however, by putting on board all useless persons; beginning with old men, the white women and their children. This measure delivered me from near 4000 persons, who were sent out from the Colony, but who, unfortunately, on leaving the port, were almost all pillaged and ill-treated by the English cruizers of the Navy, several of which have converted the war into a piracy dishonorable for their flag and a civilzed people.
On the 18th, we perceived the craft which the brigands had employed during the night to shelter their workmen from the range of our cannon. Some men concealed by a small elevation from the ramparts, striking the ground with their pick-axes, and appearing to excite each other strong to labour, whilst on another spot, they carried on their work with vigour and silence, to such a degree, that it was impossible for us during the night to direct our fire well and to hinder their works.
I must inform your excellency, that the forties which I executed had a more important and essential end in view than merely to recognize the enemy, or hinder their works, the execution of which we could not prevent. It was extremely important for me to convince him of the attachment of the Spaniards which these sort of affairs accustomed to warfare. I taught him to dread the bravery of a garrison who, not content with waiting for him behind their walls, went to seek and fight him behind his intrenchments, and this greatly contributed to cool his design of making an attack upon the place by open force, which, on account of his great number, might have become dangerous. I succeeded most completely in this view. This assurance taught him to respect us, and he was so intimidated at it, that when the brigand chief proposed to his army to mount to the assault in order to terminate the whole affair in one day, they were so much put out of countenance by the proposal, that he did not think it proper to insist upon it any farther.
On the 22d, at nine in the evening, a French Schooner from Port Rico, brought us the welcome intelligence of the arrival of a French Squadron with a large force on board from the Windward Islands. The news soon spread over the place, and as every one entertained hope; that St. Domingo was one of the ports the expedition was on board for, courage and general confidence was redoubled.
The enemy had conducted and run on shore under the fire of his entrenchments, a large brig which he had got into his possession on the river at some leagues from St. Domingo. It would have been imprudent to have left her at his disposal but it was difficult to find a swimmer hardy enough to bring her off. In the night between the 24th and 25th Ventose, Simon Maille, a light dragoon of the 25th regiment, asked permission to attempt this hazardous enterprise. It was granted him; and under the eyes of his commander and comrades, in spite of the imminent risk he ran of being taken or killed, no other arms than a knife and provided with a rope, he swam across the river, set the brig afloat, and brought her under the walls of the place. The enemy fired on, but missed him. This trait, which announces both coolness and audacity, I have thought worthy to inform you of, in order that your excellency may obtain for this brave fellow, that recompence already adjudged him by general admiration.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
BOSTON, October 23.
By several arrivals yesterday, we were favored with Dutch papers to 1st, French papers to the 6th, London papers to the 9th and Liverpool to the 8th September. Several days later than before received. — They contain the appearance at least, of highly interesting intelligence.
A long and bloody War was on the point of commencing between France, assisted perhaps, by Prussia and Bavaria, on one side; and Russia and Austria, backed by Great Britain and aided by Sweden, on the other. — This event was placed beyond doubt.
The French army lately embodied near Boulogne: and the French and Dutch troops embarked in Holland, had actually debarked, and marched toward the Rhine. A few divisions were left at Boulogne; but every battallion had left the Texel. In every part of France, all the engineery of war was in operation. The French funds had experienced a great fall.
Two Russian armies were, it was confidently said on their march for Germany, and Austrian officers had actually been despatched to them. The Russian forces at Corfu were ready for immediate action.
The accounts from Austria are not explicit. One day they talk of peace, and negotiation; but on the next present us with whole columns of accounts of marching armies; new formed camps; the most efficient preparations for instant war; and the advance of vast bodies of the veteran troops to the very frontiers of France and Italy.
New expeditions were fitting out in England; and the expectations of invasion were no more. No naval affair, of consequence, had taken place; and the blockades of Brest, and Cadiz, was continued. The English had been extremely fortunate in the arrival of their colonial fleets.
The expedition at Malta under sir James Craig, was expected to sail, shortly, with 2000 of the garrison; probably to join the Russians at Corfu, to act against the French in Italy.
Captain Blunt, arrived here yesterday from Bourdeaux. Our correspondent there, under the date of September 5th, says, "The last accounts from Boulogne states, that the Emperor has detached one hundred thousand men, towards the Rhine. A continental war seems unavoidable."
"The combined fleet of 34 men of war (including the Rochefort squadron) reached Cadiz, in August. It is presumed they will enter the Mediterranean. Three sail of the line, from Toulon and two or three from Genoa, will join them. Sixty thousand men are to be levied for the conscription of the 14th year, which begins the 23d September next."
Captain Parsons from Amsterdam, confirms the intelligence of the debarkation of the French and Dutch troops in the Texel; and of their having marched towards Germany. All the talk was of a continental war.
A gentleman from Marblehead yesterday, informs, of the arrival there of the Schooner Hiram, captain Hooper, from Bilboa, 33 days; and that the captain saw posted at Bilboa, an order forbidding Spanish privateers to molest American vessels.
The British navy, in commission, on the 1st September, was composed of 690 vessels — of which 119 are of the line, 19 fifty gun ships, 140 frigates, and 412 sloops.
London, Sept. 6, 1805.
The cession of Swedish Pomerania to Russia is officially contracted. This is an important fact; as it is now not unreasonable to suppose that Prussia will remain neutral; for we know not of any other points upon which the cabinets of Petersburg and Berlin are likely to disagree.
Government has received information that the camp at Boulogne was breaking up, and the troops marching towards the Rhine.
Sir Sidney Smith has been off the French coast reconnoitring.
The French Moniteur complains of the desertion of the Italian troops into Germany.
DECLARATION
Of the Emperor of Germany.
Altho' the emperor has not as yet taken any direct part in the different efforts which have been made in the course of the present maritime war, to reconcile the belligerent parties, and effect the re-establishment of peace, his majesty has not been the less ardently desirous that an object so beneficial should be obtained by the exertions of the powers whose mediation was particularly solicited for that purpose.
This desire on the part of the court of Vienna was necessarily increased from the time of that event, involving directly the interests and the balance of the continent, were produced by the subsequent consequences of the war between France & England, and from the time that his majesty the Emperor of the French has publicly declared that the final settlement of the affairs of Lombardy should be deferred until the conclusion of this war, when it would be included in the negotiation which would take place for its termination. From the time the court of Vienna, who has a possession in Italy and towards whom engagements were entered into respecting that important part of Europe, found herself immediately interested in the success of his negotiation for peace; and she has in consequence declared, on different occasions, how anxious she was to have it in her power to contribute to accelerate their opening.
"It resulted from this disposition on her part, that nothing could be more satisfactory to her than the intelligence of the pacific proposal made at the beginning of this war by his Majesty the Emperor of the French to the court of London; — and of that of this late power, in which she referred, upon that point, the interference of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russians; proposals which announced, on the part of both powers, a moderate and conciliating disposition, which it was hoped the mission of M. Novosiltzoff to Paris, offered and accepted with equal alacrity, would realize."
"It is therefore, with the deepest regret that the Emperor had learned that this mission has been cut short by the recent changes in the condition of the republics of Genoa and Lucca. Finding on his side, in these late changes, reasons of additional weight for desiring the speedy commencement of conciliatory measures, and not being willing to relinquish the hopes which he had built upon the spirit of moderation professed and solemnly confirmed by the French sovereign, the court of Vienna hastens to offer its good offices, in the hope that the general expectation which was entertained from the conciliating temper of all the Powers should not be again disappointed. She therefore invites the Courts of St. Petersburg and the thulieries to immediately renew the Negotiation which was on the point of being opened; being ready to lend her most earnest assistance to this desirable object, flattering herself that the court of Berlin will also contribute towards it on her side as a necessary consequence of his lively interest which she has always professed to take in the re-establishment of the public repose." Aug. 1805.

NORFOLK, October 25.
The Foreign Intelligence, which has been received down to the 2d of September, is highly interesting, inasmuch as it contains a variety of corroborating circumstances, indicating a continental coalition against France, that we can scarcely doubt that before this day actual hostilities have commenced.
A combination so powerful on the continent, as Austria, Russia and Sweden, must no doubt excite serious reflections in the French cabinet, but will certainly call forth a repetition of those wonderful energies, which the French nation has so often displayed, since the commencement of the revolution. We have seen with what facility France has resisted confederacies equally formidable, not only resisted, but destroyed them, and triumphing in war, she has imposed peace upon the powers opposed to her, upon terms that shewed that she dictated them. This was done at a time, when France was divided by factions, and the torch of civil war burning in her own bosom.

We see her, now at peace within, and the destinies of the nation confided to those wonderful men, who uniting so many great qualities in war and politics, must inspire a confidence in the nation, that will make the issue of the contest very problematical. This confederacy will be noxious to the evils, which all confederacies are, the want of unanimity in council, constant in action, and similarity of interests. While on the side of France there can be no opinion in council, her movements in every instance will be directed by one hand, and she will have but one interest to pursue. While the confederates are deliberating, France will be in action, and without the allies are better prepared than is expected, we shall not be surprised to hear, that some decisive blow has been struck by her armies, that will have a preponderating influence on the future operations of the war.
The attention of both parties will be turned to the king of Prussia, and what will be his conduct it is not so easy to predict, in judging from his past conduct, the confederates have nothing to hope for from him. That he has been partial to France for a long time, we cannot doubt, for the kings may dissemble for a while, the uniform conduct of Prussia, for so many years, and under all the changes in the French government, leave no doubt upon our minds, that the king of Prussia will determine to adhere to his system of neutrality; the experiment of forcing him from that system, will not be attempted without weighing the consequences, and surely neither side will choose to make him an enemy; hence he will continue to enjoy those advantages which his physical strength enables him to command, in defiance of the menaces and intrigues of contending parties.
In this great conflict, in which so large a portion of the civilized world will be engaged, it is natural that we should turn our attention with solicitude to our own country. Our neutral rights are treated with indifference and injustice, that it does not appear probable that we can suffer more than we now feel.
Yet we apprehend that we are to experience additional restrictions in our commerce. This important confederacy has been formed upon mature deliberation, and without doubt, having for its settled purpose, the abridgement of French power and influence. In pursuit of this end, we are to calculate upon the employment of means, which will be felt by us. The confederacy being determined on their object, will not regard the nice rules of justice as neutrals, who have not the means of commanding respect. France who has given abundant proofs of her total disregard of the rights of other nations, and of our particular, that it is not to be expected that on the present occasion, she will more respect us, unless what may be extorted from her fears. When we speak of France, we would include Spain. The maritime power of Great Britain, Russia and Sweden, must put an end to naval enterprize on the part of France and her dependencies. The marine of Great Britain, will be directed against their colonies, and the commerce of her enemies, which must depend on neutrals for support and existence. Sensible of the power to annoy the enemy in this way, we shall not be surprised to hear of restrictions imposed by the confederates, that will very seriously affect our rights and interests. The recent restrictions we fear are but the commencement of rigid measures, and will be followed up by others, that will put an end to all intercourse with the colonies of France, Spain and Holland, or render it so precarious, that prudent men will no longer engage in it. While on the other hand, the commerce of French and Spanish cruizers, will continue to the ruin of our other commerce. In such a state of things, the wisdom and firmness of our councils, and the unanimity of the people would be our sure defence.
We shall not anticipate what our administration will do, but even should we be reduced to the state of things which has been described, the situation would not be so loss how to extricate the nation from such difficulties; to Great Britain we presented a mild but firm aspect, her interest in our justice, was awakened, our difficulties were settled, and a war in which neither would have profited, but both must have suffered, was avoided. France determined to continue her unjust conduct, and was taught reason by the thunder of our cannon, and the gallantry of our seamen, when these measures were not adopted without heavy expenses, those bro't taxes, and these again furnished the fawning demagogues with an excuse to complain; the people were persuaded that their armies and navies, so essential to the safety of the
nation, were the instruments of ambition, and by such measures, and such means, the federal administration was destroyed. We are now to see, in what manner our commerce will be protected & our rights respected, and what measure will be adopted by those who are now in power.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31.
Mr. Snowden,
I HAVE NO motive in requesting of you the publication of the following, but that arising from a belief that facts communicated to the public through the channel of the press are apt to induce some reflection; while the abstractedness of business admits only a transitory thought to be employed on matters of daily occurrence.
The present state of society has lately suggested to me subjects of meditation painful by the recollection of facts; and not less unpleasant by the distant prospect of a salutary reform. Juvenile eccentricities alone, which proverbially disdain the practical admonitions of prophetic age, demand a serious consideration from society. The veteran in villainy needs no advice. Habits of general conduct where strengthened by length of continuance, fix forever the principles of action; and hoary guilt, tho' writhing under the mental sting of remorse, has seldom the vigor to adopt a rectitude of life. It sees virtue within its reach but is only tantalized; the paralysed arm of native integrity is unable to grasp her. I acknowledge a fewness of years, which have allowed me but limited observation, and enjoin a cautious regard of the prerogatives of age; but should the ardor of feeling impel me too far, to encroach on the rights of others, I anticipate an excuse in every generous mind, which has often witnessed the innocent wandering of the imagination enthusiastic in the pursuit of an honorable purpose. An unshrinking conscience attests the truth when I assert my sentiments flow from an honest source. I have no desire to give you a morose detail of fashionable conduct. Far be it from me to reprobate the little inconsistencies of a sportive imagination. The liberal smile at them with complacency; sympathy recalls in rapture their youthful days; and an irresistible union of sentiment, proclaims them natures guileless offspring. Be it the task of the cold hearted wretch, whose breast never opened to the reception of a generous sentiment—who never felt the glow of a benevolent wish. Where the expanding mind of a youth first introduces him into the notice of the world, his first unrestrained actions are thought to afford some presage of his future life: hence the solicitude of parents to initiate him at this period in habits which are to form the basis of his reputation. Precepts on every subject are insinuated with all the ardor of parental affection; and their zeal adduces example to cooperate with these. On none is their anxiety more evident than that of female acquaintance. Here there are a variety of two opinions; some e joining the total seclusion of a student from that sex; while others recommend a moderate relaxation in their society as the best preparative for the renewal of study. If it be admitted (and I believe it will) that talents are naturally accompanied with an inclination to improve them; that in proportion to the deficiency of intellect there will be a wish to gain some eminence more accessible than that of the temple of science; the inference is evident; the independent mind will seek the pleasure of female company through a motive of mental profit, and after enjoying those gentle delights which are the peculiar gift of an amiable woman, will retire to the closet with an encreased love of research, and in all that exactness of feeling which a variegated scene of virtuous, unpolluted pleasure can inspire. And here I would with deference to others beg leave to controvert an opinion, perhaps innocently inculcated, and advanced without reflection, that a frequent intercourse with young ladies degenerates and enfeebles the more manly faculties. Within the narrow compass of my own acquaintance the reverse of this is established by invariable fact; and I have always found that he who is the butt of every evening tete a tete was not the less an ignoramus where the library alone had been his companion. I cannot indeed avoid accounting for the prevalence of this opinion in a way less derogatory to the sex, by referring it to the effect of a talent peculiarly theirs, of extracting with apparent ease the weaknesses of a defenceless young man.
In late intercourse in society my surprise has been excited by a variety of observations, but of these only one shall be obtruded on your attention: In the opinion of some who imagine they have all the requi-
sites for the society of ladies, if they possess some elegancies of person, some dexterity in executing the minutiae of gallantry, or an acquaintance with the etiquette of a card table or a ball room, propriety requires they should adopt a character of sentiment and expression according with the frivolity of their other accomplishments. Such a character I believe seldom occurs, and is only occasionally introduced to exhibit in a disgusting picture the eventual dominion of the meaner propensities, in a life commenced with carelessness of conduct and frivolous pursuits.
PHILO GUNAIKOS.
Boston, October 22d.
The ship Thomas, Mentor, which arrived yesterday from Leghorn, on the 15th August, spoke a French squadron of three frigates and two brigs off Minorca, commanded by Jerome Bonaparte!!! If the ci-devant lady Bonaparte, should make any considerable stay in England, she may have a chance to upbraid her faithless lord to his face.
The success of the constitutionalists in Pennsylvania must afford the highest satisfaction, to every patriot bosom. In this we discern not only the triumph of the honest of the republican party over a lawless faction, but also the complete triumph of correct principles and views over error and delusion. [Public Ledger.]
William and Mary College Lottery.
We understand that at the district court at Williamsburg, the court decided that the drawing should be considered as valid, that the managers should pay the prize of ten thousand dollars that was drawn, to the owner of the ticket drawn against it, and that the other ten thousand dollar prize should belong to the owner of the last drawn ticket; from this opinion an appeal was taken, and the cause will be argued on the 7th of next month, before the Court of Appeals. [Ibid.]
Some reports have obtained that Ragusa was about to put itself under the power of France. Whether this measure was suggested on account of the troubles of the Turkish provinces in its neighborhood, or to excite the jealousy of Austria to whose territory it is contiguous, and to which it has lately opened new roads, is not declared. No facts are mentioned. This aristocracy, formed on the plan of Venice, is governed by a rector, a council of ten, and the great council, which includes the nobility. From the great council, are chosen the officers who direct in all the departments of state. The state being small, has been obliged to submit to pay tribute to the Turks, to the Venetians, to the Pope, to the Emperor, and to Spain and Naples. They still are jealous of their liberty. The city has suffered by earthquakes, particularly in 1634, and 1667. In the last it was said 6,000 lives were lost, and a fire which broke out did very great damage to the city. Its territory has about 90 Italian square miles, the city has 8,000 inhabitants, and all of them are engaged in trade. Wheeler mentions that twelve years after the earthquake, he was in the neighborhood of Ragusa, and it had not recovered; and it had not recovered thoroughly in 20 years. From a similar calamity, it is said Naples has suffered. Its situation near the Volcano of Vesuvius must ever subject it to alarms, and the sad examples of destruction around it cannot admit an insensibility to the dangers to which it is exposed. The population of this city was given in 1773, at 361,489, and it had above three hundred thousand in 1742, and a late account gives above four hundred thousand. The alarm has been great from the late earthquake, which has occasioned great destruction, of which a more particular account may be expected. The last news from the Turkish provinces represents a greater union and a more pursued system than had been adopted in former times. The Christians from Bulgaria and Albania had made a common cause with the Servians, and a distinction which has never been lost and has been often flattered by the Turkish commanders, threatens serious evils to the Turkish powers. By the present combination, the commerce of the country will be better maintained, and we may soon expect to find a more exact statement of the population, strength of parties, political questions, and real claims of the inhabitants. (Salem Register.)
Should the election of governor in Pennsylvania, terminate in favor of M c Kean, as many expect, we are still at a loss to form an opinion, as to the political consequences. Governor M c Kean has had a very serious lesson, on the progress and effects of jacobinism. To gratify his ambition, he raised a storm against order and the federalists; this very governor M c Kean it was who with Dallas, conspired against the happiness and harmony of Pennsylvania and brought it to that pitch of confusion and licentiousness, which now disgrace and endanger it. Though he can never atone for the innumerable evils he has brought upon society, he has suffered much, and we hope his conscience has been faithful,
in reminding him whence these evils proceeded.
Governor M c Kean has headed a party which has been successful; he has seen the consequences of its success; ignorance and the vilest passions exalted, to enlighten and govern! Though he can never be forgiven, and though the history of his political life will contain much for the censure of posterity, he has now an opportunity of making some reparation to his fellow citizens, and of closing his public life with no inconsiderable degree of honor to himself.
He will not probably wish to be re-elected. He cannot, as the constitution now stands. He is therefore in that happy situation which few of our public officers in this country enjoy, and which is favourable to purity of conduct. We mean, he has now no motive to court or flatter a mob—no inducement to enlist vice and ignorance on his side. Independent of party he is now left to the pursuit of lasting honour; to God and his conscience he is amenable, and without a motive to offend either.
As worse men than Governor M c Kean prefer the approbation of the wise, good, and respectable, to that of the abandoned and base, when attained with equal facility, we are not without hopes of seeing the evening of his political life shed a lustre on his character. It is possible—we therefore hope. (Repertory.)
Letter of his majesty the king of Sweden to the governor of Calmar. STRALSUND, Nov. 3, 1804.
SIR, After I was informed by your letter of the 25th of October, of the departure of his majesty Louis XVIIIth, I could no longer refrain from expressing to you in particular, as well as to the other officers at Calmar, & to the inhabitants of that place the extraordinary pleasure which I received from the exemplary conduct of them all during the residence of that illustrious personage in Sweden. His majesty Louis XVIII. has himself borne the same testimony, to which I pay so much the more regard, as I believe it to be a characteristic of the Swedes to treat with respect and veneration the legitimate rulers of every country. This is the most satisfactory manner in which you can evince your attachment and devotion to me. I charge you to acquaint all whom it may concern with my sentiments, and am Your truly affectionate, GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS.

The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee , jun.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
