LONDON, May, 10.
The debate on Friday, was one of the most interesting in its nature, carried on with more animation, and was one of the most extraordinary in some of its results that ever we heard. The original proposition, as our readers know, was to thank His Majesty for having removed Mr. Pitt from his councils. An amendment was immediately moved by Lord Belgrave, in which Mr. Pitt was not mentioned by name, but which gave to the wisdom, energy, and firmness of his Majesty's Councils during the late conflict, supported by the army and navy and the nation, the praise of having surmounted our difficulties, and attained that high degree of prosperity we now enjoy. After a very warm and long debate the amendment was carried by a great majority. So far there was nothing inconsistent or extraordinary; but after the amendment was disposed of, another motion was made by Sir H. Mildmay, to thank Mr. Pitt by name for his pre-eminent services. Mr. Fox immediately moved to add the names of the other ministers during the late war, Earl Spencer, Lords Grenville and Roslyn, and Messrs Dundas and Windham. This amendment was perfectly consistent with, and indeed resulted naturally from Lord Belgrave's amendment. His lordship moved, and the house agreed to express their approbation of the wisdom, energy, and firmness of his Majesty's councils. Now this must include all those concerned in his Majesty's councils, and of course the whole of the late administration, unless all the members of it, except Mr. Pitt, are to be considered as mere stop gaps, which Mr. Fox very justly laid no man could do. Well then by the adoption of Lord Belgrave's amendment, we contend, that the House passed a vote of approbation of the conduct of all the late ministers. But a member, after such vote, choosing to specify Mr. Pitt by name, Mr. Fox moved to add all the other ministers by name. This amendment was negatived!!! and the motion for thanking Mr. Pitt alone, was agreed to. From this course of proceeding, the following inference will be drawn; that it was not solely Mr. Pitt's conduct, during his administration, that influenced those who agreed to thank him, for the conduct of his colleagues was the same as his; but that these persons took in their consideration, also his opinions since the conclusion of his administration, with respect to the peace; opinions so diametrically different from those of his colleagues. We have now to notice another inconsistency: the House has, by a former vote, approved of the peace. Mr. Grey wished, therefore, as Lord Belgrave's amendment had been adopted, which states our difficulties to have been surmounted, and the country to be in a high state of prosperity, to amend Sir Henry Mildmay's motion, by adding these words, "by which means (Pitt's pre-eminent services to the country) the present administration were enabled to conclude a safe, honorable, and glorious peace." This amendment was negatived!!
We leave it to our readers to reconcile if they can, these contradictions, and pass on to two other measures little less extraordinary than those we have already alluded to. A subscription has been opened to erect a statue to Mr. Pitt, for his services during his administration, and his birth day is to be celebrated by a public dinner: Earl Spencer, one of those who disapprove of the peace, and of course are now hostile to Mr. Pitt's sentiments and conduct relative to that event, in the Chair!
We received this morning the Paris papers of Thursday last. They contain a confirmation, if indeed a confirmation were wanting, of the unfavorable dispositions of France towards our commerce. The Ministers of Police, and of the Interior, in consequence of a report having gone abroad that English merchandise, particularly English pottery, was to be imported into France, have published two letters, formally contradicting the rumour; stating, that the law for prohibiting the importation of English manufactures continues to be in full vigour; and declaring that fresh orders have been given to the officers of the customs to adopt the most vigilant measures, not only to prevent all importation of English produce, but to discover the depots of such merchandise as may have already been introduced.
Under such circumstances of prohibition, and under other circumstances which we are about to mention, it is not to be wondered that the Stocks have fallen. There are several causes to which that fall is to be
imputed; first, the hostility of France to our trade; secondly, the debates upon the Definitive Treaty, and the fears to which they have given rise, that it may not be of long continuance; thirdly, that at this advanced period, the middle of May, the prompt, payments upon the Loan have been very trifling—that twenty-five millions sterling in stock remain to be consumed, and that the interest of money abroad is so much higher than it is here.
The Gazette of Saturday contains an order in Council for taking off all prohibitions to the export of gun-powder, salt-petre or any sort of arms or ammunition; of naval stores, of lignum vitæ, of copper, staves, bars, rings, sheets or nails; it also contained a proclamation appointing the general thanksgiving in Scotland on account of the peace to be postponed from the 1st to the 17th June, as the sitting of the General Assembly to the Church of Scotland would on the former day interfere with the celebration.
The intentions of Government respecting the sugar trade are said to be, to reduce the import-duty about 1d 1-4 per lb.; to place the refiners under the excise laws; and by way of compensation for the above reduction, to lay a duty of three pence per lb. on all refined sugars, and two pence on all bastard and ground sugars. Refined sugars for exportation are to be allowed to be locked up in warehouses from whence they are to be exported free from the excise duty, with a bounty equal to the import duty, an additional bounty of lamps and loaves, and 1s. per cwt. when the price of raw sugar is 45s. exclusive of the duty, and another shilling when at 40s. The West India merchants are divided in opinions respecting the utility of the above measure, which if adopted, will cause a great extension of the excise laws.
Letters from the continent speak of various encampments by different Princes in Germany, &c. and a great military parade and preparation this summer.
TRANSLATIONS From French papers to the 27th of April, received at Charleston.
BORDEAUX, April 17. The Principal Commissary of the Marine to the Editor of the Echo.
I send you, citizen, a copy of a dispatch I have received from the minister of the marine, by which you will see that the government of the United States of America has decided that all the vessels of that nation, before they proceed to sea, shall be furnished with a bill of health, stating the state of the health of the inhabitants of the port of departure and its neighborhood. You will remark, citizen, that this dispatch is of the 23d of Pluviose last, (February 12) and if I have not hitherto given it publicity through the journals, it was because I had reason to believe that the government of the United States would extend its hand to the execution of its orders; but the arrival of many American vessels without bills of health, proves to me that the captains of that nation have endeavoured to elude a regulation of which the interest of humanity requires the complete execution. I pray you to insert the dispatch here joined in your journal, as well as the form of the bill of health, to that the merchants of this port, by having knowledge of it, may inform the owners of vessels in the United States with whom they correspond, that they ought to direct their captains to be very exact in furnishing themselves with bills of health, seeing that I shall act with great strictness against all American vessels, and they will have to undergo a quarantine, more or less prolonged, in the Island of Patyras. Such are the dispositions agreed upon between the French and American governments, and I cannot depart from them, particularly in the approaching season, which by reason of the hot weather, requires the most active attention.
AUGUSTE BERGEVIO.
The Minister of the Marine and the Colonies, to the Maritime Prefect at Rochfort.
I make known you, citizen prefect, that the government of the U. States of America has provisionally determined that all the vessels of that nation, before they proceed to sea, are bound to be furnished with a bill of health, making known the state of the public health in the port of departure and its neighborhood.
This measure has for its object to secure American navigators from the delays which they have sometimes suffered in our
ports from the suspicions too lightly founded, and under this view it also interests the commerce of France. I send you herewith a printed copy of the patent or certificate which is to be delivered. This certificate is to be signed by the collector and naval officer, and is to be legalised by the commissary of commercial relations or consuls of; the power to the ports of which the vessel is bound, if there are any in the port of departure.
It is essential to remark, that in the United States there are no collectors but in the following ports, viz Portsmouth in New-Hampshire; Newbury-Port, Salem, Beverly, Boston, New-Port, Providence, New-York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Wilmington, (N. C.) Charleston, (S. C.) and Savannah, as these officers are at the head of their customs, they are only at the most important ports; in the others, there is only a naval officer; of course, the certificate will only bear his signature. In those places where lazaretto's are established, the officers of health should also give their attestation. It is to be hoped that the congress in its approaching session, will make these certificates obligatory, and will pass laws relative to health. In consequence, I invite you citizen prefect, to make this known to the administrators of the different ports, in your department, and to require that they demand from every vessel coming from the U. S. this certificate, or the bill of health with which they ought to be furnished, and to regulate their admission into our ports conformably thereto, and to the laws established relative to health.
A true copy, The vice admiral, Marine prefect. MARTIN.

SALEM, June 29. FROM THE WEST INDIES. By Capt. Andrews.
A British Packet arrived at Martinique the 5th inst. bringing intelligence that a fleet had sailed from France with 11,000 troops on board, bound for the Windward Islands, and they had been 32 days out on their passage. Martinique is to be delivered up to the French on the 27th of July—an event which is regretted by many of the French inhabitants, who fear that the present tranquillity will not be permanent, and that new scenes of distress await the long afflicted islanders. Numbers of the British merchants were preparing to leave the island on account of its approaching restoration to France. The latest accounts from Guadalupe were that the Negroes at Basseterre had been completely quelled. They would have held out longer, had not their provisions failed. The inhabitants who had fled to the Saints, Dominiquie, &c. were returning, with confidence in the firm establishment of the French power.
Last evening arrived the schooner Cynthia, captain J. H. Andrews, from Martinique, where he left (at St. Pierre) the following vessels:—Brigs Nancy, Barker, Salem; Oliver, Stone, Kennebeck.—Schooners, Samuel, Gridler, Marblehead; Milford, Saunders, Wisecaster; Eliza, Rider, Plymouth; Speculation, Geming, Philadelphia; _____, Strange, Freetown. The ship Betsy, John Blackler, was at Fort Royal. The schooner Peggy, Greenough, failed for Newburyport, the 7th inst. The Sally, Procter, of this port, from Cayenne and Surinam, touched at Martinique, and proceeded to leeward for a market.
Captain Andrews gives the following account of the disasters of the schooner Little John, Crocker, of Edenton:—Being
on her homeward passage from St. Vincent's, on the 16th of May, in lat. 30, long. 78, was upset in a very severe squall and filled with water: a boy named Charles Richards, being in the cabin at the time, was unfortunately drowned. After the masts, pumps, and part of the deck had given away, the schooner righted; and the crew, after being on the wreck 44 hours, were taken off by the schooner Venus, of Bermuda, bound to Martinique, where she arrived on the 6th of June. Two of the crew of the Little John came passengers in the Cynthia—Market's dull at Martinique—FISH, dollars; LUMBER 22; FLOUR 9; BEEF 12; PORK 15.

TUESDAY, JULY 6.
Anniversary of American Independence.
Yesterday was observed as a day of festivity by the friends of American liberty in this town.—The WASHINGTON SOCIETY walked in procession to the Presbyterian meeting house, attended by the DEBATING SOCIETY and a number of respectable citizens, where an excellent and appropriate address was delivered by col. C. Simms—Afterwards the Societies and citizens repaired to the Episcopal church when they were again gratified with an oration well suited to the occasion by Mr. A. W. Grayson, a member of the Debating Society. The Washington Society returned to Gadsby's Hotel, where, with a number of others, they partook of an elegant dinner, after which the following toasts were drank.
1. The day we celebrate, which teaches us a useful lesson to those who inflict, and to those who feel oppression. 2. The true spirit of '76. 3. The memory of gen. Washington—first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. 4. The memory of those Heroes who were martyrs to the cause of American Independence. 5. The remnant of brave Patriots who

were destined to survive the perils and enjoy the fruits of their revolutionary struggle.

17. The Town of Alexandria.
[We anticipate the pleasure of having it in our power to publish the addresses delivered by the orators of the day.]
New York, July 3.
It will amaze our readers to be informed that Bonaparte has at last reached the acme of his ambition. Before this time, we presume, he has been declared perpetual Consul. We found this opinion upon a printed handbill received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser last evening from Havre by the ship Herkemer, of which the following is a literal translation. Not having our regular file of French papers, we are unable to ascertain upon what pretext the Government has judged it necessary to adopt a measure so astonishingly bold, and prehaps so pregnant with danger. In our next, it is probable, we may have it in our power to present the public with some particulars respecting this very important circumstance.
NOTICE.
The Mayor of Havre informs the inhabitants of this city that the Registers prescribed by the arrêté of the Consuls of the 20th instant, to collect the votes of the citizens upon this question. Shall NAPOLEON BONAPARTE be Consul for life?
are opened at the Secretary's office of the Municipality, and will be closed the 3d of next month.
Similar Registers are likewise to be opened at the Secretary's office of the Sub-prefecture, at the Registry of all the Tribunals, and at the office of the Notaries.

*15th May.
Last evening arrived at this port the ship American, Sherry, in 40 days from Liverpool, having performed her voyage in 90 days. She brings London papers to the 17th May, inclusive. An intelligent gentleman, who came passenger, informs us it was the general opinion in England that a dissolution of Parliament would take place about the middle of June, and that Mr. Pitt (who was becoming very popular) would be reinstated in the premiership. A subscription for a statue in honor of the Ex-Minister was opened and very liberally supported. Mr. Addington, it was rumoured would be called up to the House of Peers.
Debates on the Definitive Treaty continue to occupy a great part of the English newspapers; and the election of Bonaparte to the Consulship for life gives rise to much political speculation.
France, our informant adds, persists in the interdiction of British manufactures, and employs her influence to produce the same effect with those powers over which she has any controul. Business at London and Liverpool very dull in consequence of the Peace.
Extract of letter from the captain of an American vessel at Tunis to his owners in N. York, dated April 10th, 1802.
"West-India produce is now on the rise, and very little in the market except what belongs to Mr. EATON, who returned from Leghorn on the 12th of March. One rea-
son of our laying still here is, the prospect of a rupture between this Regency and the Dey of Algiers. This circumstance may prove favorable to us: When Rogues fall out, honest men stand a better chance. The Dey of Algiers has forbidden his subjects trading with this Regency on pain of death."
The following are among the toasts drank at the late annual election of officers to the Grand Lodge of the State of R. Island:—"As Masons we are equal—but let us remember that government cannot be supported without laws, magistrates and obedience. May universal Masonry be the only universal Monarchy and may its chain link all mankind in the bonds of friendship. The Square in action, the Level in conduct, the Plom-line in rectitude, and the Compass in prudence to all men. Our Sisters. May they imitate our grandmother Eve in every thing, but her disobedience to the Almighty. Tho' last, not least—The memory of our illustrious Brother GEORGE WASHINGTON, the father of his country, the supporter of its laws, and the friend of mankind."
From a London paper of May 6. DEFINITIVE TREATY.
After the unequivocal disposition which the French have shewn on all occasions to wrest every thing to their own advantage, and to make the most unbounded pretensions, it was particularly incumbent on the ministers of this country, in negotiating the Treaty of Amiens, to have laid down very strongly in it principles and rules by which the relations of peace and amity (to use a hacknied phrase) were to be guided.
The more of the Treaty of Amiens is considered, the more will the neglect of this precaution be felt and lamented. Well may it be said that this treaty resembles no past transaction of a Diplomatic nature. If we call it by the same name of a Definitive Treaty, it is only from the poverty of language or the inaccuracy of our ideas.
In truth, it will be found on careful examination, and on practical experience, that the treaty of Amiens, is a mere armistice. The parties are in actual conflict have ceased to fight, and have occupied certain positions. Nothing is settled but the mere state of possession. As to the mode of exercise of respective properties and claims; as to all the old rights and usages of neighborhood, (the points about which so great a part of the positive Law of Nations must be conversant,) every thing is left absolutely unsettled. Nobody knows what he is to do, what he is to possess in quiet.
Formerly, when ancient treaties were renewed and confirmed on the restoration of peace, the late belligerents knew on what footing they stood. At present they are absolutely ignorant of the extent of their own rights, or the pretensions of others. Nay, in fact the confusion will be greater from the inevitable mixture that will arise of claims set up on a pretended natural right, and the practice formerly existing by positive convention.—That the French will, as usual, set up the natural rights of nations to contest many of ancient indubitable privileges, every man of common observation is aware.—They did shrewdly in abolishing all the treaties. They knew that the natural rights of independent nations furnished an inexhaustible fund of claims to be supported by general reasoning, while the fair and recognised interpretation of treaties would have circumscribed their ambition.
It is not that we have the smallest doubt that the claims of the French will, in many cases, be destitute of equitable foundation. We must calculate the extent of the French claims, not by equity, but by power. Power is the common weight and common measure of the Republic.—For instance, we do not say that the French will have any just right to interfere with our Indian dominion, in consequence of the abrogation of the convention of 1787, concluded between Mr. Eden (now Lord Auckland) and the Count de Montmorin. That convention explained what the French acquired by the 13th article of the treaty of Versailles in 1783. It was favorable to the French, but in the abolition of all former treaties the French have deprived themselves of the benefit of the immunities conceded. But will they not bring forward the same claims on other grounds? in a word there is, in this and other questions, matter of infinite concernment, (which may be the source of new wars, and may present a pretence
whenever wanted,) less totally at large. It is not more that much new and valuable right has been given up to France, or abandoned by England in the general abrogation of former treaties, than the very unsatisfactory and critical relation now subsisting, that we lament.—General reasoning, it is said, however, will support all our just rights and refute those of the enemy. We never heard an observation so unworthy of a statesman. The advantage and the very object of a treaty is to put an end to general reasoning; if it does not so, it is an absurdity. Treaties are the result of general reasoning. They are positive Laws among Nations, which like the municipal laws of a state, fix and define rights and duties, and banish every thing arbitrary. A stipulation is better than an argument, inasmuch as it shews what has already been argued and solemnly enacted. If between nations, as between the subjects of individual states, positive law is abolished, there is an end of all justice: caprice or force is then the Law!
To prove how vague how incomplete, how illusory the thing called a Definitive Treaty is, we have only to mention the treaties enumerated, renewed and confirmed by the Treaty of 1763:—they are the treaties of Westphalia, of 1648; the treaties of Nimeguen, of 1678; of Ryswick, of 1697; of Utrecht, in 1713; of Baden, of 1714; of the Tripple Alliance of the Hague, 1717; the Quadruple Alliance of London, 1718; the treaty of Peace of Vienna, 1738; the Definitive treaty of Aix La Chapelle, 1748; and that of Paris, of 1763. Every one which is consigned to the dust by the treaty of Amiens, without a single monument to tell what they were. It is perfectly well known that these treaties conferred mutually many rights and privileges, contained conditions calculated to preserve tranquillity and rules for the decision of future disputes. These were most important chapters in the general Law of Europe—and they are all cancelled; they are absolutely at an end! Long usage had created a belief that Peace placed us where we were at the beginning of the War; and as Treaties always did so in a political view, this popular notion set the advantages of Peace in a more agreeable light.
If there was any difference formerly, it was in an island more or an island less.—The difference at least was palpable and intelligible. The estate was the same; and whether a little corner was taken off here or added there, the manor, on the whole, was what for ages it had been.—Now indeed the boundaries are the same, but the title deeds are thrown into the fire. No man knows by what tenure he holds, under what servitude, by what laws of neighbourhood, what custom. He cannot turn himself round on his own estate, but he finds the subject of a quarrel from new and undecided pretension. A captious, ambitious rival, who has artfully deprived us of our title, will next proceed to dispute our most practical rights. The whole property is thrown into litigation.
We conclude, therefore, that, as a Definitive Treaty, the Treaty of Amiens is without any parallel. We assert, without fear of contradiction, that almost every thing, that properly speaking constitutes the Code of Peace between nation and nation, must form the subject of new Negotiation, instead of being completed to most practical purposes as in former cases, by a Definitive Treaty of Peace renewing former Treaties. Here War ceases, Peace does not begin, and the Treaty of Amiens is the only one in modern times, in which the observation of the ancient Historian is literally applicable. Every thing is yet to be negotiated, and when we consider the character of our rivals and the talents of our Ministers, we cannot doubt in whose favor the result will prove. It is indeed the greatest Negotiation this country ever was engaged in, that lies before us. It is not one Treaty that is to be negotiated; it is an entire new Code of public law that is to be formed—such is the sovereign will of the French Republic—such the implicit submission of the British government.
A letter from a gentleman in Edinburg (Scotland) to his correspondent in this town (Trenton) states, that "the BOX made of the Oak that sheltered the great Sir William Wallace, after the battle of Berwick," which was presented by the Earl of Buchan to the late Gen. Washington, with a request that he would pass it, on the event of his decease, to the most deserving Character in this country, but
which was returned to his Lordship, is now in the hands of an American gentleman at Edinburg, for the purpose of being transmitted to Dr. RUSH, of Philadelphia, agreeable to his Lordship's determination. (Trenton Fed.)
A CAUTION TO SCOLDING MISTRESSES.
"GOOD economy much depends upon the good management of a family. I have often seen, and long have been convinced, that a mild and dispassionate is much more efficacious and salutary, than a severe and rigorous discipline. If you would prevent faults in your domestics, take care that you see but few; never an inadvertent trifle, nor appear discomposed at accidents, nor reprove real faults in a passion.
"Mrs. Teasy, who has no daughters of her own, has brought up several girls, whom she took out of poor families; but she complains, she never yet has had one but who was a vexation to her. They do her more mischief than all their work is worth, and tho' she is always talking to them, she cannot make them mind her. Her complaints are partly true; but the fault is her own, for she spoils all her girls by eternally fretting at them. It Betty happens to turn over the swill pail or breaks a mug, by stumbling across the broom, which Mrs. Teasy in her hurry, has left in her way, the old lady is in a rage. "There, you careless drab! I knew you would do so: You are always breaking things. You waste and destroy more than you earn. I had rather do every thing myself. I never will set you to do any thing as long as I live." And so Betty sits down—"What! you baggage! have you nothing to do?—Go, fetch the cream-pot and turn the cream into the churn. How you handle it—I know you will break it, as you do every thing else." The poor girl, in a trepidation of carelessness and anxiety, lets it fall sure enough. It is dashed into fragments, and the cream scattered round the floor. "O la! you nasty trollop.—I never saw any thing like this. Just so you do every day. I cannot keep my hands off from you." Thus with tongue and claws, she frightens poor Betty almost into fits. Nine tenths of the mischief which the girl does, is through an excessive caution to avoid it. Her mind is never calm, nor her nerves steady, because her mistress is always blaming, scolding and threatening. By degrees, however, the girl becomes hardened. If she breaks an article, when Mrs. Teasy is not present, she secretes it. If enquiry is made, she lies to prevent discovery."

Respectfully informs the Public that he has received from Lee & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, a fresh assortment of the following Valuable Medicines,
Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail Store.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an 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.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensis and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of    Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obtinate gleets,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wyth county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed, for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tænia or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tænia, or tape-worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fecid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and sushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time, in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus, but upon close inspection quite replete
with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children, came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
