Lands for Sale.
The subscriber wishes to sell a TRACT OF LAND, situate near the foot of the Blue Ridge and Short Hills, in Loudoun county, Virginia: Bounded partly by the Potomac River, within two miles of Harper's Ferry and the mouth of Shenandoah. It is a strong, good soil, answering perfectly well for plaster of Paris, and contains by patent 2340 acres. It is so well known, as a valuable and fine tract of land, that a further description is unnecessary, as those who incline to purchase will of course view and examine it. A clear and indisputable title will be given by the subscriber. There is no mortgage, judgment, debt, lease, claim, or demand whatsoever against any part. It having been always let to tenants at low annual rents, who are raised and removable at will, but the occupying tenants (through favor only) have been permitted to claim from any coming-in tenant, one half of the deposit money, as settled between them for improvements and good will; the other half going to the landlord. There are at present sixteen or seventeen tenants upon the estate at very low rents: and it is recommended as an object well worth the attention of any person who would purchase the whole, and parcel it out into lesser farms, the resident tenants and others wishing to buy parts of it. The terms are a portion of one fourth paid down in money, or approved negotiable paper, the remainder in one, two or three years as may be agreed on, carrying interest from the day of sale. Application may be made personally, or by letter, to the subscriber residing at Waitburton, on Potomac River, near Alexandria, to Mr. James M'Ilwenny, near the premises, or to Mr. John Janney, merchant, Alexandria.

Downing Street, Feb. 18, 1803.
My Lord,
Your Excellency's Dispatch of Feb. 21, has been received, and laid before the King.
I have great satisfaction in communicating to you his majesty's approbation of the able and judicious manner in which you appear to have executed the instructions which I gave you in my Dispatch of the 9th inst.
The account you have given of your interview with the first consul is in every respect important.
It is unnecessary for me to remark on the tone and temper in which the sentiments of the first consul appear to have been expressed, or to offer any observations in addition to those so properly made by your excellency at the time, upon several topics which were brought forward by the first consul in the course of your conversation; I will therefore content myself with referring your excellency to my dispatch to Mr. Merry of August 28, 1802, in which the subjects of the complaints of the French government, respecting the freedom of the press, the emigrants, &c. are particular discussed. I cannot however, avoid noticing, that nothing approaching to explanation or satisfaction is stated to have been thrown out by the first consul, in answer to the just representations and complaints of his majesty, in consequence of the unwarrantable insinuations and charges contained in Col. Sebastiani's report against his majesty's government, the officer commanding his forces in Egypt, and his army in that quarter: but that on the other hand, the language of the first consul has tended to strengthen and confirm the suspicions which that publication was peculiarly calculated to excite.
I shall now proceed to give you some further instructions on the language which it may be proper for you to hold respecting the charge which has been advanced against his majesty's government, of their unwillingness to fulfil the treaty of Amiens. The Treaty of Amiens has been in a course of execution, on the part of his majesty, in every article in which, according to the spirit of that treaty, it has been found capable of execution.—There can be no doubt, that Egypt is at this time completely evacuated. The delay which has arisen in the evacuation of Alexandria, was owing to accidental circumstances, the particulars of which were explained to you in my dispatch of the 30th Nov. last; and I had every reason to believe, from the communication which I had with general Andreossi on the subject, that the French government were perfectly satisfied with the explanation which he was authorized at the time to give them respecting it.
With regard to that article of the treaty which relates to Malta, the stipulations contained in it (owing to the circumstances which it was not in the power of his majesty to control,) have not been found capable of execution. The refusal of Russia to accede to the arrangement, except on condition that the Maltese Language should be abolished; the silence of the court of Berlin with respect to the invitation that has been made to it, in consequence of the treaty, to become a guarantying power; the abolition of the Spanish priories in defiance of the treaty to which the king of Spain was a party: the declaration of the Portuguese government of their intention to sequestre the property of the Portuguese Priory, as forming a part of the Spanish Language, unless the property of the Spanish Priories is restored to them; the non election of a grand master: These circumstances would have been sufficient, without any other special grounds, to have warranted his majesty in suspending the evacuation of the island, until some new arrangement could be adjusted for its security and independence. But where it is considered how great the dominion, power, and influence of France have of late been extended, his majesty must feel, that he has an incontestible right, conformably to the principles on which the treaty of peace was negotiated and concluded, to demand additional securities in any new arrangement which it might be necessary to make with a view of effecting the real objects of that treaty. And these considerations, sufficient as they might be in
themselves to justify the line of conduct which his majesty had determined to adopt, have received additional force from the views which have been recently and undeservedly manifested by the French government, respecting the Turkish dominions, and the islands in the Adriatic (and which have been in a great degree admitted by the first consul, in his interview with your excellency)—views, which are directly repugnant, not only to the spirit, but to the letter of the treaty of Amiens.
From the postscript in your excellency's letter, it appears that a project was in contemplation, by which, according to the declaration of M. Talleyrand, the integrity of the Turkish territory would be secured, so as to do away every cause of doubt or uneasiness, either with regard to Egypt, or to any other part of the Turkish dominions. His Majesty will consider the communication of such a project as indicating a disposition on the part of the French government, to afford him explanation and satisfaction respecting some of the points which have been the subject of his representations. But after all that has passed, his majesty cannot consent that his troops should evacuate the island of Malta, until substantial security has been provided for those objects, which under the present circumstances, might be materially endangered by their removal.
I am, &c.
HAWKESBURY.
No. 40. Is immaterial.
(No. 41.)
Note from Gen. Andreossi to Lord Hawkesbury, dated March 10, 1803.
The undersigned Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic, to his Britannic Majesty, had received from the First Consul, express orders to require from the British government some explanation respecting the protracted occupation of the Island of Malta by the English troops. He had hoped that verbal communications would have been sufficient to have produced satisfactory explanations, by preparing the way for the mutual conciliation of minds and interests, a conduct which has been prescribed to him for his ardent zeal for the maintenance of harmony between the two countries, & of the peace of Europe, objects of the solicitude of the French government: But the undersigned thinks he can no longer delay complying with the instructions he had received, and he has therefore the honor of addressing the following observations to his excellency Lord Hawkesbury, which recal to recollection the spirit and the leading features of the verbal communications which he had previously made to him.
By the conditions of the 4th paragraph of the 10th article of the treaty of Amiens, the English troops were to evacuate the island of Malta, and its dependencies, three months after the exchange of the ratifications.
Ten months have elapsed since the ratifications have been exchanged, and the English troops are still at Malta.
The French troops, on the contrary, who were to evacuate the Neapolitan and Papal States, have not waited the expiration of the 3 months which were granted to them to withdraw, and have quitted Tarentum, the fortifications of which they had re-established, and where they had collected 100 pieces of cannon.
What can be alleged in justification of the delay in evacuating Malta? has not the 10th article of the treaty at Amiens provided for every thing? and the Neapolitan troops being arrived, under what pretext do those of England still remain there?
Is it because all the Powers enumerated in the 6th paragraph have not yet accepted the guaranty which is devolved upon them? But this is not a condition that relates to the evacuation of the island; and besides, Austria has already sent its act of guaranty: Russia itself has made only a single difficulty which is done away by the accession of the First Consul to the modifications proposed, unless indeed England itself throws obstacles in the way by refusing to accede to the proposals of Russia, which after all could not effect the engagements of his Britannic Majesty who, according to the express conditions of the treaty, is to evacuate the island of Malta within three months, placing it under the guard of the Neapolitans, who are to garrison it, until the definitive arrangements of the order are settled.
It should therefore seem impossible, and it would be without example in the
history of nations, were his Britannic Majesty to refuse to execute a fundamental article of the pacification, of the very one, which, in the drawing up of the preliminaries, was considered as the first, and as requiring to be settled previously to every other point.
Indeed, the First Consul, who cordially relies on the intentions of his Britannic Majesty, & cannot suppose them to be less open and generous than those with which he is animated, has hitherto been unwilling to attribute the delay of the evacuation of Malta, to any other than to maritime circumstances.
The undersigned is, therefore, charged to require explanations on this point, and he is persuaded that the British ministry will be the more anxious to furnish such as will be satisfactory, as they must be sensible how necessary they are for the maintenance of harmony, and how important they are for the honor of the two nations.
The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to renew to Lord Hawkesbury the assurances of his high consideration.
(Signed) F. ANDREOSSY. Portland Place, 10th March, 1803.
(No. 42.)
Letter from Lord Whitworth to Lord Hawkesbury, dated Paris, March 12.—Lord Whitworth had just been apprised of the King's message; his Lordship says:
"I found, however, on going to M. de Talleyrand, at two o'clock, that he was already informed of it. He was just setting out to communicate it to the First Consul, and appeared under considerable agitation. He returned with me to his cabinet, and though he told me he was pressed for time, he suffered me to relate the circumstances without interruption. I endeavored to make him sensible that this measure was merely precautionary, and not in the least degree intended as a menace. I concluded my observations by repeating that it was merely a measure of self-security, founded on the armaments which were carrying on in the ports of France and Holland; remarking, at the same time, that had not even these armaments been as noxious as they were, the very circumstance of the First Consul's determination to augment so considerably his army in time of peace, would have been a full and sufficient motive for such a measure of precaution."
"M. de Talleyrand now informed me he was already acquainted with the business, that a messenger had that morning arrived, who had brought him a copy of the message, which he communicated to me. I could draw from him no reply whatever to my observations. He confined himself strictly to the assurance which he has so repeatedly made, that there was no foundation whatever for the alarm that was felt by his majesty's ministers; that the First Consul was pacific; that he had no thoughts whatever of attacking his majesty's dominions, unless forced to do so by a commencement of hostilities on our part; that he should always consider the refusal to evacuate Malta as such a commencement of hostilities; and that, as we had hesitated so to do, he was justified in adopting the measures which might eventually be necessary. He disclaimed every idea of the armaments fitting out at the Dutch ports having any other destination than to the colonies, and concluded that for his part, he could not comprehend the motives which had necessitated a resort to such a measure on the part of his majesty's government."
"He then desired leave to go to the first consul, promising to let me know the result when we met at the Prussian minister's. He did not come there till near 7 o'clock, and when we rose from dinner, he took me aside, and informed me, that although the first consul had been highly irritated at the unjust suspicion which his majesty's government entertained, yet he would not allow himself to be so far mastered by his feelings, as to lose sight of the present calamities which the present discussion might entail upon humanity.—He dwelt much on this topic, and explained the measures to which he should be obliged to resort; he said that if England wished to discuss fairly, he wished the same; that if England prepared for war, he would do the same; and that if England should finally determine on hostilities, he trusted to the support of the French nation in the cause of honor and of justice. It was in vain that I repeated that England did not wish for war; that peace was as necessary to us as it could
be to France; that all we desired, and all that we were contending for, was security; that every thing proved to us that security was threatened by the first consul's views on Egypt; and that consequently our refusal to evacuate Malta, was become as much a necessary measure of precaution, as the defence of any part of his majesty's dominions."
Note verale referred to in No. 42.
1. If his Britannic majesty in his message means to speak of the expedition of Helvoetshuys, all the world knows that it was destined for America, and that it was on the point of sailing for its destination, but in consequence of his majesty's message, the embarkation and putting to sea are about to be countermanded.
2. If we do not receive satisfactory explanation respecting these armaments in England, and if they actually take place, it is natural that the first consul should march 20,000 men into Holland, since Holland is mentioned in the message.
3. These troops being once in the country, it is natural that an encampment should be formed on the frontiers of Hanover; and moreover, that additional bodies should join those troops which were already embarked for America, in order to form new embarkations, and to maintain an offensive and defensive position.
4. It is natural that the first consul should order several camps to be formed at Calais, and on different points of the coasts.
5. It is likewise in the nature of things, that the first consul who was on the point of evacuating Switzerland, should be under the necessity of continuing a French army in that country.
6. It is also the natural consequence of all this, that the first consul should send a fresh force into Italy, in order to occupy, in case of necessity, the position of Tarentum.
7. England arming, and arming with so much publicity, will compel France to put her armies on the war establishment; a step so important, as cannot fail to agitate all Europe.
The result of all these movements, will be to irritate the two countries still more. France will have been compelled to take all these precautions, in consequence of the English armaments, and, nevertheless, every means will be taken to excite the English nation by the assertion, that France meditates an invasion. The whole British population will be obliged to put themselves under arms for their defence, and their export trade will, even before the war, be in a state of stagnation throughout the whole extent of the countries occupied by the French arms.
The experience of nations, and the course of events prove, that the distance between such a state of things and actual hostility, is unfortunately not remote.
As to the differences, of which mention is made in his Britannic majesty's message, we know not of any that we have with England; for it cannot be imagined, that a serious intention can have existed in England of evading the execution of the treaty of Amiens, under the protection of a military armament. Europe well knows that it is possible to attempt the dismemberment of France, but not to intimidate her.

Letters received yesterday per schr. Nancy, inform, that the merchants at Havanna having remonstrated to the Spanish Court on the conduct of the Intendant, as being injurious to the interests of commerce, an order had been issued for his recall, with instructions to remain in office until the arrival of his successor. Irritated at this mark of disgrace, the intendant seized upon most of the American vessels in port, (many of which vessels were under Spanish colours) condemned them and their cargoes, and threw several of the captains into prison. He was expected to take his departure for Spain in about two weeks. Eight or ten English Guineamen were at Havanna, preparing to clear out with all possible dispatch, though it was not officially known there that hostilities were renewed in Europe. It was very sickly at the Havanna.
PHILADELPHIA, July 22. A letter from Trinidad of June 17th, informs that His Excellency, Col. Fullerton, had at length been invested with the command of the civil and military administration of that important Island. The tyranny and oppression which had marked the conduct of his predecessor in office (General Pickett) rendered the measure of the highest interest, to the peace and prosperity of the inhabitants; their gratitude and joy on the occasion, was accordingly shown by every demonstration of respect in their power to bestow. The Official Proclamation, announcing this change is dated at Trinidad, June 16. 1803.
The Olive Branch, from St. Croix, arrived at New York, was overhauled and detained four hours, by an English cru-
zer, from Tortola. The masters of vessels should be very accurate in the accounts they give of the treatment they receive from the cruisers of the belligerent nations. In times of war a belligerent power has a right to board and examine neutral vessels. This right the neutral ought not to resist; but every arbitrary proceeding which may occur, when this right is exercised, ought to be correctly noted, and transmitted to the Secretary of State; that the government may remedy or avenge the wrong.

Latest from Europe. PHILADELPHIA, JULY 22.
Our papers by the Commerce, arrived yesterday, consist of a regular file of the London Sun, from the 12th of May down to the first of June. Their contents are not very important. The naval list constitutes the most prominent article in the latest papers. By these it appears, that England has commenced the war with great spirit and equal success. Prizes, many of them immensely valuable, are daily pouring into the British ports. The zeal and activity of the naval commanders, in every direction are a certain preface of future brilliant operations.
In the Sun of the 28th of May, we find a voluminous report of a debate which occurred in the House of Commons the day preceding, relative to the proffered mediation of Russia.—In this debate Messrs. Pitt and Fox took conspicuous parts. It appears, that the idea of such a mediation is not entirely hopeless. Some members speak sanguinely of its success. We shall hereafter give the whole of this debate a place in our Gazette.
Some additional papers relative to the late negotiation have been laid before parliament. Among these the following is the only document which we find interesting to the American reader:
COPY OF A LETTER From Mr. R. King to Lord Hawkesbury. London, May 15, 1803.
MY LORD, In the present critical posture of affairs, I lose no time in communicating to you Lordship, for his Majesty's information, that a treaty was signed at Paris on the thirtieth day of April past by the Plenipotentiaries of America and France: by which the complete sovereignty of the town & territory of New Orleans, as well as all Louisiana, as the same was heretofore possessed by Spain, has been acquired by the United States of America. In drawing up this treaty care has been taken so to frame the same as not to infringe any right of Great Britain in the navigation of the river Mississippi.
I flatter myself that this communication will be received with satisfaction, and regarded as a new proof of the disposition of the United States, to observe towards his majesty a spirit of amity and confidence, important at all times, and more especially so in present circumstances, to the harmony and mutual prosperity of the two countries.
I avail myself of this occasion, to renew to your lordship the assurance of distinguished consideration, with which I have the honour to be, &c.
RUFUS KING. Rt. Hon. Lord Hawkesbury [Here follows a note from Lord Hawkesbury, acknowledging the receipt of the above.]
There was no truth in the report of the capture of the Duke of Kent, on his way home from Gibraltar. He arrived in England on the 26th May, and appeared at court the 28th.
The decree of the First Consul seizing
on all British subjects within the limits of the Republic, and extending also to the territory of petty powers under his subjection, is justly viewed as an outrage on the rules and laws of civilized nations. It is asserted in some of the prints, that this decree is accompanied with circumstances of the most rigorous imprisonment and insult. This however appeared to be the only species of warfare carried on by Bonaparte.
Much speculation on the probable course of the War, and its duration, is given in the English newspapers. The possibility of a neutral mediation is fondly cherished by some; while others contend that the rupture now possesses so much virulence as to be beyond the influence of pacific interference.
Arrived yesterday, the ship Commerce, Captain Dyer, in 48 days from Liverpool, bringing Liverpool papers to the 2d June, and those of London to the 30th May.
In a short conversation with an intelligent gentleman, who came passenger in the Commerce, the subsequent points of political novelty were obtained;—At a late meeting of Parliament, Mr. Fox submitted to the House a motion, stating "that should the Emperor of Russia come forward as Mediator between Great Britain and France, it were hoped his Majesty's Ministers would neglect no opportunity to make a peace consistent with the honor and dignity of the nation." To this proposition Mr. Addington assured Mr. Fox, that his Majesty's Ministers were ready to embrace every prospect of accommodation which should comport with the dignity and honor of his Majesty, and the well-being and happiness of his subjects. Mr. Fox testified his approbation of the conduct of the Cabinet Council; applauded highly their candour and determination; and declaring their promises a sufficient responsibility, withdrew his motion.
The latest advices from Paris, stated, that Bonaparte had sequestrated all English property, and had ordered all British subjects to Fontainbleau as prisoners of war. He averred that he took this measure in consequence of several reprisals made by the British even before the declaration of war.
The British fleets were distributed after the following manner:—Admiral Cornwallis was off Brest; Lord Nelson had gone to the Mediterranean—his flag was hoisted on board the Victory.—Several captures were made by the British Cruisers—These consisted for the better part of Merchantmen; one frigate however was among the number and was seen going into Portsmouth.
Consols were between 50 and 60.—American produce generally was on the rise. (Ameri. Dai. A. v.)

JAMES KENNEDY, sen. King Street, 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. TAKE NOTICE, That J. Kennedy, sen. is appointed the ONLY Agent for Alexandria. Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, 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 soreness 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 unskilful 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, Consumptions, Looseness of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weaknesses, Seminal weaknesses, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Inflammation, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obsolete 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. 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 Hooyer, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hooyer, 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. JOHN HOOYER. Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer For-
on, Esq. one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia County HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. Which 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 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, 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 Tercer 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 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 fetid 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 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 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, Sold likewise by S. Pleasants, Richmond; Ross and Douglass, Petersburg; T. Green, Fredericksburgh; G. Purdie, Smithfield; M. Jones, Suffolk; Dr. Miller, Winchester; R. Greenhow, Williamsburg; and J. Shaw-Leeburg.
Forty Dollars Reward. RAN away from the subscriber on the 12th May last, a negro man named OSBORN, he is about five feet six or seven inches high, stout made, he formerly lived with Mr. John Abert of Alexandria as a waiter; he was seen in Alexandria about six weeks since, and from his having expressed a desire to visit his relations about the time I purchased him, I am induced to believe he now is in the neighbourhood of Nanjemoy; his father is the property of Mr. Charles Pye, and his mother and sister the property of Mr. Joseph Head, both of Charles county, state of Maryland. The cloaths he took with him are not recollected, except a blue cassimere round-about, and a wool hat, over which he sometimes used to wear an oil-cloth cover. I will give the above reward for delivering him to Messrs Samuel Crowdsou & Co. in Alexandria, or twenty dollars for securing him in any jail in Maryland or Virginia, and advising me thereof that I may get him again.
