Late Foreign Intelligence.
NEW-YORK, January 30. We owe it to the politeness of Captain Main (who has obligingly favored the Editor with Paris papers to the 22d November, and a list of vessels left at Bourdeaux on the 1st ult.) that we are enabled to lay before the readers of the Mercantile Advertiser this day, later European Intelligence than has hitherto been received in the United States.
We have confined our translations almost entirely to that important subject which engrosses the attention of the whole civilized world—the invasion of Great-Britain.—This event, it will be perceived, was drawing to a crisis. Bonaparte was at Boulogne on his way to Ostend, for the purpose of inspecting the preparations making throughout the sea coast of the Republic; and every thing was nearly ready for the expedition.
Captain Main brings dispatches to government from the American Consul at Bourdeaux.
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
Boulogne, Nov. 16. The day before yesterday, the First Consul, after having reviewed the army, ordered the execution of several military night evolutions. He spent the whole of yesterday in the port, notwithstanding visiting the two divisions of the flotilla that were arriving from Havre, which made port in two tides. The Boulogne flotilla is therefore reinforced by 60 vessels, each carrying 24 pounders.
It has been remarked, as ominous, that in digging here to establish the encampment of the First Consul, a military axe has been found appearing to have belonged to the Roman army that invaded England. There have also been found at Embleteuse, in digging the foundation of the tent of the First Consul, medals of William the Conqueror. It must be acknowledged that these circumstances are at least whimsical, and they will appear still more singular, on recollecting that when General Bonaparte visited the ruins of Peluse in Egypt, he there found a Cameo of Julius Cæsar.
The camps of the army resemble a town. The soldier is at least as comfortable in them as in barracks. General Soult has paid particular attention to that important part of the military administration, which has so much influence upon the health of the troops.
The North winds, which are prevailing with some violence, have driven off the English cruisers to a great distance from Boulogne; the currents are extremely rapid in those ports. (Moniteur.)
November 16. The wind blows fresh from the S.W. the enemy's cruisers have retired into their own ports for safety. The advanced guard of a division from Havre, composed of about twenty vessels of the flotilla, is entering. They performed the passage in twenty-four hours; this makes the seventh we have received here since the arrival of the First Consul.
This morning, at 11 o'clock, the First Consul sat off from the head quarters, and embarked on board a superb boat, the Lioness, that was waiting for him; and, notwithstanding the extreme violence of the wind, visited several vessels of the flotilla recently arrived at this port; some gun and galley boats performed a few evolutions which were executed with the greatest promptness and regularity. To-morrow the First Consul will go to Estaples, to give to the several works that are going on in the port, the activity which his presence produces wherever he shows himself.
Ostend, November, 10. Our Camp is nearly finished. Very favourable weather contributes to it, and it already makes a very handsome appearance. The soldiers are lodged in large barracks covered with thatch, and all on ranges; wide streets separate them. Great order and cleanliness prevail through the whole. We are in hopes that the First Consul, whom we expect here in a few days, will be as pleased with it as the Minister of war has been.
The construction of gun-boats and pinnaces is nearly finished, and our place has been put in a state to defy the insults of the English; a line of one hundred and forty cannons and mortars of the largest calibre, displays itself all along the sea shore. After all, we see but few cruisers, seldom more than four or five, and those of small force.
Paris, November 18—23. Twenty men are alternately taken from
each company of the regiments of the line composing the camp at Boulogne, and embarked on board the flat-bottomed boats, to learn how to handle the oars and the cannon; which they executed with great alacrity and precision.
An American vessel from Bordeaux, in ballast, has entered Nantz river. She was visited off Bell-Isle by an English frigate who forcibly took away three of her crew.
Extract of a letter from Bologne, dated November 9.
One hundred vessels, each carrying 24 pounders present themselves in the road daily. The number of vessels of all sizes that are to serve in the expedition against England is computed at five thousand.—Never has Boulogne exhibited a more lively appearance than at this time. The circulation of cash is greater than in any other port of the republic. A great number of Generals are here.
The barrack in which the First Consul lodges is placed on a very elevated eminence, commanding an extensive view of the shores and harbour; the barrack of rear Admiral Bruix is at its right. The coasts are lined with cannons and mortars. All these mortars are cast on a new plan; they weigh 8000 lbs. and reach to the distance of three kilometres.
Every day increases the mass of the forces by the successive arrival of the flotillas. The First Consul is pressing all the works with an inconceivable activity.
November 13. Madame Le Clerc is married to Prince Borghese. The nuptials have been celebrated at Morfontaine.
November 15.
On the 11th inst. was launched at Havre, in the presence of the Minister of marine, the pinance built for the First Consul.—The Minister afterwards received the conscript workmen, visited minutely the workshops, magazines, timber-yards, the vessels in armament, and the flotilla ready to put to sea. A convoy of four gun-boats, twelve flat-bottomed boats, two pinnaces and eleven transports, which sailed from Havre on the 7th November, arrived safe at Boulogne the next day.
Orders have been issued at Brussels to prepare there a great quantity of ship bread for the service of the army of England.—The construction of oars in the forest of Soignes, goes on with redoubled activity. It is asserted that not less than thirty thousand are to be made.
November 17.
The armament of the doggers and fishing boats that are in the docks at Dunkirk, goes on with the greatest activity. Each of these vessels will carry one 24 pounder and four 4 pounders. They will be manned, independently of the land troops, with forty seamen; they will have besides a stable for the transportation of a few horses.—Some pinnaces of a new construction are also fitting out, and several flat-bottomed boats are daily looked for from Holland.
On the 12th November several merchant vessels that had been detained in the channel for the service of the republic, have sailed from Brussels. Those that remain will soon follow.
November 18.
The English continue cruising off Cherbourg, but at two gun shot distance, which places them in a situation from whence it is impossible to observe what passes in the port. The service of the signals is performed with an astonishing celerity. In the space of three hours intelligence is communicated from Cherbourg to Pressingue. All the ports, villages and cottages on the shore are full of companies of Horse Chasseurs. Every thing is in readiness for departure.
November 19.
Three divisions of the Flotilla of St. Malo consisting of 18 flat bottomed boats, 3 gun boats, 22 sloops, 40 fishing boats of Newfoundland, and 1 pinnace, sailed from that port in the night of the 11th to the 12th November, steering for Cherbourg.
November 21.
On the 14th November a division of the flotilla arrived at Granville from St. Malo, set sail from thence and put into Regneville. It consisted of 22 gun boats and transports. A second division of a like force was ready to put to sea from the same port. For several days past the English have not appeared in sight.
GERMANY.
Frankfort November 7.
Our commercial intercourse direct with England is now entirely re-established by the way of Dusseldorf and Embden, and Commerce has resumed its former channel. It is by the borders of the Rhine, Franconia, Suabia, Bavaria, &c. and even Switzerland, that the merchants and traders of Upper Germany, continue their connections with England, and receive from thence
as agents the goods which they afterwards distribute in all the neighboring countries. The carriage is not very expensive; the quintal from Embden to our city costs only 6 to 7 florins.
Hamburg Nov. 5.
It is asserted that the arrival of general Berthier in this city has for its object to negotiate a loan of five millions with the three Hanse towns, for which the domains of the country of Hanover are to be mortgaged. A meeting of our Burgers has been called for to-morrow, to take into consideration these proposals of the French general. November 7.
On the 5th instant the Burgers of this city granted the loan demanded by general Berthier for the states of Hanover. The loan will be four millions of livres. A committee of five Senators and deputies of the Burgers have been appointed to settle the particulars relative to that business, &c. it is thought the general will go to Lubeck and Bremen to make similar proposals. The sum demanded, it is said, for the states of Hanover, from the Hanse towns of Hamburg, Bremen and Lubeck, is from 14 to 17 millions of livres.
Hanover, November 7.
There are at this moment at Hamburg, ten ships ready to sail down the Elbe; two are loaded with cannon, twenty four pounders, and the two others with gun powder. A secret expedition is talked of.
BATAVIAN REPUBLIC.
Hague, November 8.
The English have left the small islands of Rotterdam, where they had landed a detachment of troops on the 27th October.
Our government is determined to employ every possible measure to augment the number of transports, independently of those of the military marine.
The vessels detained for the state service, by means of an indemnification to the owners, are entirely in readiness for the service to which they are destined. Their junction is now completing.
It is thought our government will shortly appoint a committee charged to compliment the First consul, who it is hoped will arrive soon at Flessinge.
November 11.
There have been launched at Rotterdam, five new flat bottomed boats which complete the number of 50 of these vessels, all ready to put to sea. Nine schooners destined to carry three 18 pounders, are yet on the stocks and nearly finished. The frigate Serene, lately built at Rotterdam, has been sent to Helvoetsluis, to be armed and equipped, and to be put in a state of service.
ITALIAN REPUBLIC.
Milan, November 10.
The division of the troops of the Italian Republic, which goes to France, has received positive orders to set off on the 17th of this month. That division comprises more than seven thousand, one thousand of which are cavalry.
HELVETIC REPUBLIC.
Berne, November 10.
Orders have been brought by an extraordinary Courier, to some of the French corps stationed in Switzerland, to return to France without delay, in order to be employed in the expeditionary army against England, assembled in the environs of St. Omer and Dunkirk.
New York, Feb. 2.
The brig Dyett Sanford , of this port, was captured on the first of December, 40 miles to windward of Jaquemel, by a French privateer, and ordered to the city of St. Domingo for adjudication, where she arrived on the 19th. The same privateer had captured four other American vessels, 3 of which were sent in for trial with the Dyett.
Sail Making.
THOMAS SANFORD takes this method of informing the public, that he has commenced the Sail Making business in the Lot over the store of Benjamin Shreve , jun. at the corner of Prince and Union streets, where he hopes from his attention to business, and his exertions to please, to give satisfaction to those who may favor him with their custom.

George-Town, Feb. 3.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6.
MARRIED,
Last evening Mr. WALTER S. ALEXANDER, to the amiable and beautiful Miss CATHERINE DADE, daughter of Baldwin Dade, Esq. of this Town.
Here modest worth, to innocence are join'd, Hand in hand, to purer joys consign'd; May smiling peace, with roses, spread their way, And Godlike powers, delight their every day, May no malignant fiend, the happy progress stop, Nor viler passions gnaw the peaceful Gordian knot; But each the fairer emblem, of exalted truth, From sorrow free, enjoy the summer of their youth.
Mr. Snowden,
As it is customary on the eve of an election for town Officers to nominate such characters as are deemed fit to fill the stations, I take the liberty of requesting you to publish the following list for the consideration of your fellow citizens.
A SUBSCRIBER.

"The neutrality of Spain and Portugal, with the belligerent powers, has been agreed upon. In consequence, the royal bills have risen 20 per cent."
To the Editor of the Daily Advertiser.
American Consulate, Bordeaux, Nov. 1803.
"For the information of the merchants of the United States, I take the liberty to enclose you for publication a list of such India goods as best suit this market, accompanied by an arrete of the 6th Brumaire, (29th Oct. 1803) concerning the same."
"All cotton cloths coming from India, via the United States, will be admitted into this country on paying the duties specified in this law."
"There must first be an importation here before I can ascertain what the amount of this duty will be. It cannot I think fall short of thirty three and a third per cent. on the value.—With esteem I am Sir, your most obedient servant,

OBSERVATIONS ON EUROPEAN POLITICS. No. IV
HAVING observed, and endeavoured to prove that the French revolutionary system creates a spirit of hostility, equally rancorous and restless, against all orderly and established governments, it is interesting and curious to enquire, what means are possessed by the yet independent adversaries of France to repel that fate with which she has overwhelmed her allies.
Unfortunately for Europe, and mankind, the list of these adversaries is extremely short.—Before the French revolution, Europe was filled with Republics and States, which, though separately feeble, were safe by their combination. Switzerland, Genoa and Holland, though often alarmed, were seldom assailed. In the midst of wars they enjoyed peace and neutrality, which the great Princes, their neighbors, did not presume to disturb. The powerful were, in fact, the protectors of the weak, because no great power could safely permit a rival to make conquests. The little Republics of Europe escaped for centuries from the grasp of royal ambition.—They were assured by the French revolutionists that France, becoming herself a Republic, would be the protectress of them all, yet they have all fallen a prey to this mighty destroyer of Republics. The miserable gangs of ruffians, and their prey, which France has, in mockery, called Republics, are but so many subordinate incorporations to collect plunder for their principals.
In a word, Europe, once full of independent States, has now but three. France, Great Britain and Russia. Prussia, Austria, the Turkish Empire and Spain, are scarcely in the rank of secondary powers. They subsist in reference to the three primary powers before mentioned, as Dantzic and Lubeck did with respect to Prussia, the electorate of Bavaria in regard to Austria, Malta, or the Venetian Dalmatia in respect to the Turks, or Portugal menaced by the hostile neighborhood of Spain. The safety of these four secondary Monarchies, if, indeed, any question can now be raised about the safety of Spain, must be from the interposition of the primary powers in their favor.
Prussia is in dread of Russia and even yet jealous of Austria for both reasons, she will lean upon France. With a great army, little or no public debt, and an increasing wealth and population, she is in no condition to wage a long war or to play a principal part in the political drama. She is a mere satellite of France, a little less manageable than the Cisalpine Republic, or than the poor King of Naples, yet no less certain than they to be useless or hostile to any efforts to retrieve the independence of Europe.
Austria, though wearied and shaken by the war, still possesses great force and resources, and is clearly at the head of all the remaining minor or secondary powers; but time and a good administration are necessary to her being able or disposed to act against France, without the hearty co-operation of Russia. By the new settlement of Germany, Austria, is almost shut out from all influence in that empire. Its States are defenceless, and such is the preponderance of France, that we have seen Mortier's army march to Hanover, from the Rhine to the Elbe, and even threaten the States on the Baltic, without having to expend an ounce of powder against the enemy. Austria is thrust aside into the corner of Europe, and will be long occupied in tranquilizing her new acquisitions on the Adriatic, before she will be able to re-assume her station as a principal power.
The Ottoman Empire has experienced a decline so rapid as to astonish every politician. It is but a few years since the Turks sustained, during several campaigns, though with loss and disadvantage, the combined assault of the Russians and Austrian force. Of late we have seen them baffled by a handful of Mamelukes. Had not Sir Sidney Smith defeated Bonaparte at St. John d'Acre, the French would have marched to Constantinople, through the Turkish provinces of Syria and Asia Minor—provinces, some of which in old times, formed the empire of Ceres, and others were no less famous or powerful than France. We have seen too a rebel Chief maintain a fortress on the Danube against the whole force of the Turkish empire. Passwan Oglou has threatened Belgrade with a siege, and extorted an ignominious treaty from the trembling divan of the Porte. That empire, long ago known to be in decay, seems suddenly to have reached the extreme of weakness. The Turks do not degenerate from their ancient valor, and the Ministers of the Porte see and deplore the evils and disgrace to which the empire is devoted. But the abuse in the administration of the civil government, and the indiscipline and licentiousness of the Ottoman armies, are incurable; and
while that wretched empire sustains the struggle with its maladies, the only solicitude of the Divan must be who shall devour them, and to put off as late a day as possible, the inevitable destruction. Russia is somewhat less than formerly the object of its terror. That rising empire is large enough already, one would know, to satisfy ambition, if we do not know that ambition is not to be satisfied. But foreseeing the fall of the Turks, the Russian Cabinet has been of late years more willing to wait for what time will accomplish as well as battles. Russia has, it may be added, extorted by treaty the long desired privilege of passing the Dardanelles. No longer shut up in the Euxine, Russia has now nothing to fear, and little more left to desire from the Turks.
France was deeply interested in preserving the Turkish empire, so long as she stood in need of its arms to annoy her rival, Austria. But now Austria, by the loss of Brabant and Lombardy, is removed far from the frontiers of France, and is too much crippled to be feared, new views of policy will govern Buonaparte. He will say, as nothing can prevent the degradation of the Ottoman empire, it is no longer wanted and can no longer be useful to France as an ally.—As tis too weak to be an auxiliary it is not too strong to be made a prey; and therefore, the Consul will view the Morea (the ancient Peloponnesus) Syria, Egypt, the island of Candia, (of old called Crete) or Cyprus, as easy and valuable conquests to be seized and occupied as soon as the state of the French arms, especially by sea will permit. The French ardently desire such acquisitions in order to expel the British from the Mediterranean, and to prepare the force to invade the British empire in India.
The Turks are not so rapid as to see in their old ally any thing better than the most insidious and dangerous enemy.
Spain is reduced to a state of absolute nullity, from which she will be gladly emerged whenever the chief Consul's arms shall happen to be disgraced by defeats. But at present she is forced to obey the conqueror.
Thus a rapid glance cast over Europe presents only the spectacle of ambition and servitude. The long accumulated wealth of of its once flourishing states is rifled; its governments and most revered institutions, totter to their fall; its very arts seem to be led captive with their master pieces to Paris; its spirit abject and so abject is, that, if it has any hopes of deliverance left, it submits to carry arms against its deliverers.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
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 its 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 tried it found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with foreign 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 moderate 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—laid lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous disorders,  Consumption,  Looseness of spirits,  Loss of appetite,  Impurity of the blood,  Hysterical affections,  Inward weakness,  Saminal weakness,  Fluor albus, (or whites)  Barrenness,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Indigestion,  Melancholy,  Gout in the stomach,  Pains in the limbs,  Relaxations,  Involuntary emissions,  Obstinate gleet,  Impotency, &c. &c. 
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. &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe 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 makes 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.

Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forster, Esq. one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia County.
HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past 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 form 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, 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 effectual in carrying off all gross humors 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 Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, 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 feet—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fecal stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and tickles 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 flushed. 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 carries 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—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(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 incalculable 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 he kept 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 supplied to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS in length. 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, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown, York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate remedy 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 feeble 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 very numerous collection of worms. Inspection confirmed with very small living animals. Not one of this sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since then he has grown 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 or bitter, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those untoward sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicine. Upon the which 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 fulness, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOTHER.

Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER for the TEETH and GUMS.

They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—tickles at the stomach, and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
