INTERESTING.
LETTER from the Honorable A. C. Hanson, Esq. Chancellor of the State of Maryland.
To the Editor of the Maryland Gazette,
SIR—For the good of the public, as well as from a desire to do justice to a man of merit and genius, I request you to publish the following cases.
A young man in my family, who had read Dr. Hamilton's advertisement, and who had, for some time, as he says, experienced the symptoms described by the doctor, as indicating the presence of worms in the human stomach or intestines, resolved, without consulting any person whatever, to try the doctor's remedy.
He accordingly procured a box of the Lozenges. Last evening he took a of the yellow, and this morning he took an equal number of the brown kind. They did not, as he says, operate harshly, except one stool, when he felt a considerable griping, and when there came from him a worm, perfectly white, about a yard in length, as broad as his little finger, and having a number of joints, about an inch or a 1-4 of an inch distant from each other.
Besides this worm, he says there came from him a considerable number of flat worms, about 3-4 of an inch in length, and nearly the same in breadth. He did not think of counting them, but he says there were more than 20.
I regret extremely that I had not an opportunity of seeing the taps worm; the young man not having, as he ought to have done, taken measures for preserving it, and the simple servant girl, who attended his chamber, having, before I had been of his taking the medicine, thrown it and the other worms into the necessary, not thinking it of consequence to take care of them. The girl, however, and another servant concurs with him respecting the worms which appeared in the stool; and the taps-worm, they say, was alive, so far as to have motion, at the time from him.
It is needless to describe his symptoms, as he says they were exactly such as are described by the doctor.
Another young man of my family also, without any consultation or advice, on a visiting, and morning about three months ago, took 7 Lozenges which operated powerfully. No worm came from him; but in the course of 2 or 3 days he was quite well; and has since had a considerable accession of flesh and strength.
In short, although I like many others, have been incredulous with respect to the virtue of Hamilton's Lozenges, I am at length perfectly convinced of their great efficacy and utility.
As I cannot reasonably be supposed to have any motive, except a consideration for public good, for publishing these cases, I flatter myself that I shall not incur ridicule or censure from unthinking men, for adding my second hand testimony to the evidence of the numerous respectable characters who have aimed to render justice to Dr. Hamilton (with whom I have not the slightest acquaintance) and to give important information to their fellow creatures.
I think it not amiss to add, that, from the healthy appearance of the young man, who has been so greatly and quickly relieved, I should have ridiculed his symptoms and apprehensions had he communicated them to me before he took the Lozenges. The fact, I am persuaded, is, that most young persons, who are, from time to time, disordered, without a visible or apparent cause, are afflicted by worms.

LEBOO
WILL cover the ensuing season, to commence the first day of April, and end on the last day of June, on Mondays and Tuesdays at Queen Anne's Wednesdays and Thursdays at the farm of the fisher, and Fridays and Saturdays at Bladensburg; at the rate of 16 dollars per Mare, cash, and half a dollar to the groom; the money to the groom to be sent with the mare, and a note for the balance, with the assumption of Messrs. Clagett or Hodges, of Queen Anne's, or Messrs. Lowndes or Bruce, of Bladensburg, payable on the first day of December next, will be received.
Leboo is eight years old, a fine bright bay, 15 hands three inches high, a star and two white feet. He has proven himself both a sire and good foal-getter, having covered at four years old 25 mares, all of whom proved with foal; the costs are equal in size and beauty, to any in this part of the country, and except in two instances, they were alike as to colour. At four years old Leboo won the colts purse at Annapolis; on the next day he won the City purse, and on the third day he won a purse in Prince George's county, immediately after having travelled upwards of 30 miles. The next spring, at 5 years old, he won the first day's purse at Annapolis; the fall after he ran against Mr. Taylor's Leviathan, at Alexandria, one heat, was lame and drawn; a new day after he won the first day's purse at Annapolis; at 6 years old he won the first day's purse at Annapolis; the fall after he won the purse again at Annapolis, the jockey club purse at Gavan's town, the purse at Frederick town, and the city of Washington purse; running five miles, by mistake, at the last mentioned place, beating Mr. Taylor's Leviathan. At seven years old he received a forfeit of 900 dollars at Havre-de-Grace, proceeded on to German town, won the first heat, afterwards fell lame, and was beat by Gen. Ridgely's Hamblet, whom he had beaten three times before.
Leboo was got by High Flier, his blood and figure equal to that of any other horse, and his pedigree may be seen by applying to the subscriber.

FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
A VINDICATION OF THE MEASURES OF THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION.
BY ALGERNON SIDNEY.
"Where Liberty is—there is my Country."
No. II.
Lately, we were told the measures adopted by the first session of the last Congress, were but part of a system of general destruction, and that the federal fabric would be undermined piece by piece until it tumbled into ruins. To refute this calumny it is only necessary briefly to state the proceedings of the last session.
It commenced on the 6th day of December 1802. A quorum of the Senate did not appear until the 14th, and on the 15th the President's message was transmitted to the two Houses. He informed Congress, of the conditional repeal of the countervailing duties by the British Parliament, of the amicable settlement between the United States and Georgia respecting the Yazoo lands, of the extension of our territory in the Indian country by a cession of more than three millions three hundred thousand acres of land, and an improvement in our relations with the natives, of the cession of Louisiana to France, which he remarked, might "make a change in the aspect of our foreign relations," of the prosperous condition of our finances and the payment of more than eight millions of dollars of the national debt. He called their attention to the necessity of procuring some small vessels for the public service in the war with Tripoli; to the propriety of establishing a Dry Dock at the seat of government, and to the necessity of making provision by law for the return of our seamen from other countries. He recommended it to them to practise every useful economy, and not to impose unnecessary burthens, to cultivate peace, maintain commerce, foster the fisheries, protect the manufactures, preserve the public faith, to keep within the pale of the constitution and cherish the federal union.
What part of this message exhibits evidence of a disposition to engage in the labors of general destruction? What part of it is hostile to the federal union, to property, peace, quiet, or national happiness?
Congress, so far from proving the existence of a wish to render the public establishments insecure or precarious, or to hazard the property, peace, or prosperity, either of individuals, or of the nation, is also intitled to high confidence. It has often been remarked by men of learning, judgment and experience, that a nation has always more to fear from governing too much, than too little. A vast difference exists between reforms which are called for by the condition and feelings of the people, & comport with the state of the nation, and the subversion of those institutions, which furnish personal security, and tend to increase our prosperity. For the first we look with confidence to a wise legislature. The latter is only to be dreaded, where the legislative powers shall be (if ever) intrusted to fools or madmen.
When the change took place in administration, it was effected by the people, because they felt themselves aggrieved by the measures of government. Men were changed to produce a change in measures. Congress in the Winter 1801-2 repealed the offensive laws; and the administration of government was shaped to the wishes of the people.
The reformations, which had long been contemplated, were then effected, and nothing left for the late session, but the performance of the common routine of public business, and an attention to such things as might assist in the progress of government. To detail the proceedings of Congress would be tedious and uninteresting; though to the public it may be highly useful to state the principal things which have received their attention. With a sincere desire to aid and improve commerce and navigation, the President in his first message represented the evils to which they are exposed by the discriminating duties of Great Britain; which, from the different modes of collecting imposts adopted by the two nations, operate greatly to the injury of our carrying trade, by drawing from our citizens at least three dollars to each one that we draw from the subjects of that nation. Whereby British subjects are enabled to command,
in a great measure, the freights of the six southern states to the exclusion of our own merchants, and, particularly, to the injury of the Eastern states.
To this subject he invited the attention of Congress, who at their last session, appointed a committee of eminent merchants and others, to consider and report what, in their opinion, could be done in furtherance of trade and navigation. This committee reported in favor of vetting the Executive with power to annul our discriminating duties, whenever the discriminating duties of Great Britain should be abolished.
By the persons immediately interested in the carrying trade, different opinions were entertained; some thought the proposed measure would be highly beneficial; others, possessed of equal skill, experience and interest, believed it would have a tendency to produce an injury. To furnish evidence to our merchants, of a disposition on the part of government, as well to consult their feelings, as to promote their interests, the consideration of the report was deferred, and probably will be until experience shall show that, in time of peace, the proposed measure is essential to the carrying trade.
To avoid the waste of our national resources, the President recommended the establishment of a dry dock, to preserve our vessels, sheltered from the weather, and to secure them from the rapid decay unavoidable to timbers daily experiencing the vicissitudes of heat and moisture. The unexpected and serious aspect of things on the Mississippi rendering it possible, that both our money and our ships might be employed in a more active manner, and for purposes more pressing, this useful proposition was with great propriety, postponed for future consideration. Much pains have been taken to represent this as a visionary project of the Executive to squander, of the public property, millions of dollars. To save money—not to squander it away was his design. The expense instead of being millions, was not to exceed four hundred thousand dollars. Which sum is annually necessary to keep twelve frigates in repair, while lying in water; the single expenditure of that sum upon a dry dock would make provision, for years, for the preservation of the same number of frigates.
It is known from the experience of Holland and Venice that vessels, if kept dry and covered from the sun, will continue as sound as any other works of wood. Dry docks are erected by all the maritime states in Europe.
Congress have made provision to compensate persons who received known wounds in the service of the U. States, during the revolutionary war, for whom no provision had been made.
They have authorized procuring and equipping four small armed vessels for the service against Tripoli; calculated for use near the Barbary Coasts. This has been represented as evidence of the weakness and inconsistency of the administration; who are charged with having sold a part of the national shipping impudently.
Two conclusive answers present themselves: first these vessels were sold by an order of the Executive given in obedience to a law, passed before he came into office; secondly, they were not calculated for a war with the pirates of Africa, and would not answer for the public service.
The only remaining subject of importance which claimed the attention of Congress, was the violation of our rights by the Intendant at New Orleans, in depriving our citizens of the right of deposit at that place, and forbidding all intercourse between the subjects of Louisiana and the citizens of the United States. This flagrant breach of treaty, received as it demanded, the most prompt and vigilant attention of government.
Nor has the cession of that province by Spain to France had a tendency to increase the confidence of this nation in the views of those powers; though government has received from both, the most solemn assurances that the rights of this nation shall be respected.
On the twentieth day of May 1796 the United States solemnly proclaimed their rights to the free navigation of the Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and of the broad waters of these rivers, and all the lakes, gulfs and other streams which connected them with the main Ocean.
The full enjoyment of all the rights made known by that declaration will be maintained, sacred and inviolate, so long as the people of these states constitute a nation.
The President, with the consent of the Senate, has appointed James Monroe Minister Extraordinary to the Courts

France and Spain, to regain the enjoyment of the right of deposit, to remove, and in future, prevent the embarrassments under which the Western States labor; to enlarge the rights of the nation, and ensure the already acquired beyond the possibility of dispute or contro-
Congress, in furtherance of these views, have appropriated two millions of dollars, authorised the President to establish arsenals in the Western country, to build and equip fifteen gun boats, and whenever he shall judge necessary to detach eighty thousand troops.
At the close of the session an attempt was made by the opposition to call an adjournment upon the commissioners of the sinking fund. This terminated, as every other attempt to injure the administration has, in their defeat and mortification. So ably were the proceedings of that board defended, and so clearly were the wisdom and utility of their measures proved, that of the opposition but twelve members could be found hardy enough to dissent from the vote of confidence and approbation adopted by the House of Representatives.
This was the last act of that Congress, under whose authority, no monies were borrowed, no tax created, no laws passed restricting the liberty of the citizen. Every other Congress increased the burthens of the people—by this they were removed.
When the passion of the times shall have been forgotten—When the warring interests of individuals and the petty bickerings of rival candidates shall have been assigned to the tomb of oblivion, the future historian shall faithfully record these facts, as a rich legacy to posterity.
Here I might triumphantly demand of the reflectless enemy of liberty, to point out that act, which proves the existence of a wish to destroy the federal union; which threatens private property, or personal security and respectability; which can reasonably create any fear or jealousy in the mind of the most suspicious politician; which was not required by the state of the country, and does not merit the approbation of the people.
The most striking and efficacious mode of controlling the present with the last administration, is by an attention to their fiscal concerns. In the two first years of the last administration the Executive was authorised to borrow nine millions eight hundred thousand dollars; a part of which was actual loaned at eight per centum interest—For the two last years, no loan has been made or authorised.
In the two first years of the last administration an additional duty of eight cents per bushel on salt, the stamp duty and a land tax of two millions of dollars were levied—During the present no tax has been levied; the land tax is discontinued; and the stamp tax, with all the other internal taxes, has been abolished. During the last administration, in three years, the national debt was increased three millions three hundred and ninety four thousand three hundred and seventeen dollars and forty two cents—Since the present, in two years, the national debt has been reduced seven millions eight hundred and forty four dollars in the treasury—Now in the same treasury there are five millions and twenty thousand two hundred and thirty dollars and sixty two cents.
During the last administration no payments were made on the deferred debt—On the first of April, 1801, interest first fell due on that debt, and the present administration have annually paid thereon twelve hundred thousand dollars—Once more, when the last administration retired, there were one million seven hundred and ninety four thousand and forty four dollars in the treasury—Now in the same treasury there are five millions and twenty thousand two hundred and thirty dollars and sixty two cents.
The actual savings of the two last years may be justly estimated as follows:
  Two years payment of interest on the deferred debt at twelve hundred thousand dollars a year, equal, Dollars. 2,400,000   Reductions of the public debt, 7,849,437 33   Increase of specie in the treasury, 3 226,185 38   Dollars, 13,475,622 76   From which sums deduct the proceeds of the bank shares lately sold by order of the commissioners of the sinking fund, 1,287,600   Dollars, 12,188,022 76 
A sum more than six times as large as the land tax levied in 1800 by the last administration. Of which sum nine millions seven hundred and eighty eight thousand and twenty two dollars and seventy six cents have actually been, and are in a train to be, applied to the reduction of the national debt.
With such bright prospects of a speedy extinction of the national debt, without additional burthens, how careful should government be to avoid every thing tending to increase our expenditure? When that debt shall have been extinguished, the present revenues of
government will be equal to its maintenance and to the support of any necessary wars in which this nation can be engaged.
When I reflect upon the surrender by government to the people of a million of dollars annually, in abolishing the excise; upon the rapid reduction of the public debt, and upon the specie in the treasury, and call to mind the avowed and known determination of the late administration, not only to continue, but to double the land tax, I am lost in amazement. I cannot discover the existence of that necessity which demanded such repeated and oppressive contributions. Yet I boldly declare that to continue as well the land tax as the other internal taxes, was the design of that administration. This declaration is made both from a knowledge of the views of the persons then in power and from the provisions of the act directing the valuation of lands and dwelling houses; which clearly proves that a permanent direct tax was contemplated. That act creates the surveyor of each valuation district a permanent officer, and ascertains the compensation he shall receive for each official act. It directs him to keep a record of the valuation of each lot and house; and whenever a transfer shall take place to charge the purchaser, credit the seller, and enter it of record. It provides that when a new house shall be erected it shall be valued and added to the valuations made under the act; that all lands exempted from taxation, whenever the exemption shall cease, shall be assessed; and that whenever and so often as a dwelling house shall be destroyed the valuation thereof shall be cancelled. Neither of these provisions has any relation to the tax levied; they all clearly refer to future taxes.
Indeed the expense incurred in assessing the lands and houses in the different states, and in collecting the tax from conclusive evidence that it was determined to establish an annual land tax. The sums by that administration appropriated for the expense of assessments amounted to four hundred and five thousand dollars.
  The real expense may be estimated at Dollars. 400,000   The commissions to the various officers for collections and the contingent expenses, as statutory printing, advertising &c. will amount at least to 180,000   The losses derived from various causes exceed 125,000   Making the whole loss and expenditure amount to dollars. 705 000 
which sum being deducted from two millions of dollars, the amount of the tax, leaves only the sum of one million, two hundred and ninety five thousand dollars, for the public use. A proportion to the several states this seven hundred and five thousand dollars, in the same ratio as they paid that tax, and it will appear, that by levying it, there has been expended, and lost to the people of Maryland fifty three thousand, seven hundred and ninety one dollars, and to the people of Connecticut forty five thousand, seven hundred and forty two dollars; which sums are equal to the yearly expenses of these states. On the same principles the loss to North Carolina was sixty eight thousand two hundred and seventy eight dollars—nearly equal to the expenses of that state for two years. These were the real losses to the people of the states mentioned, to the people of the other states, they were in the same proportion, and exceed a loss of thirty five dollars on every hundred dollars collected.
Can any person who investigates this subject believe these expenses were incurred with a view to bring the tax of a single year into the treasury? I think not. It must have been the design to make provision for a durable land tax. No other cause can be assigned for this waste of property, but a wish to increase the executive power, by the appointment of a hundred commissioners, a thousand surveyors of assessment districts with established fees of office, and twice that number of assessors and collectors amongst whom should be divided the five hundred and eighty thousand dollars expended.

WASHINGTON CITY. MONDAY, APRIL 18th. ORDINANCE Of his DANISH MAJESTY, defining what is to be observed by American vessels in regard to Quarantine Regulations.
His Majesty the King has most graciously ordered by his mandate of 22d October last, that whenever any accounts are received of the existence of the yellow fever in the United States of America, or when no particular advice is received to the contrary from the Minister resident there, all American vessels which are not provided with health certificates, from the beginning of the month July, until the end of the year, are to submit to certain quarantine regulations, and even if they are provided with such certificates, these vessels are still prohibited to communicate with the shore, before they have been visited by the appointed health physician, and if he has the least suspicion, then the vessel must be dealt with accordingly: In conformity to which no American vessel during such a time shall be piloted, except having hoisted the green flag.
Which gracious command is hereby published for the regulation of every concerned—Given in the Danish Royal Chancery on the 5th November, 1802.
Extract of an ORDINANCE concerning Quarantine Regulations and Rules to be observed by Navigators, who touch at the Ports or Coasts of the Royal Danish Dominions, dated at Copenhagen, 14th Nov. 1800.
 1. Every vessel belonging to our own Dominions shall have a green flag on board to be used as prescribed hereafter.  2. Whenever a vessel arrives from a place where there has been any contagion and in all other cases of suspicion, such as having been visited by any vessels from the Barbary coast, having bales of merchandise on board from suspected places and having not undergone a quarantine line in any other place; or having had any violent sickness on board during the voyage, then the green flag shall be hoisted at the head of the main-mast, before any communication is had with any person whatever from the shore, and before anchor is cast.  3. The commander of any vessel offending against these orders, shall pay a fine of five hundred Rix dollars, if no dangerous consequences ensue from his misconduct; but if otherwise he shall be punished with twelve years labor in the fortifications, and should any malicious intent be proved upon him, he shall labour in irons during his life.  4. Any vessel having had communication with another vessel that is suspicious shall be subject to the same regulations and restrictions.  5. Should such a vessel be under the necessity of immediate communication with the shore, the must hoist her own national colours from fore-top, or under the green flag if she has no fore-mast.  6. Upon hoisting the colours on the fore-top, the signal for a pilot, the pilot shall immediately go on board, but not leave ship board until the health physician has visited her; and for every day that the pilot is detained he shall receive one Rix dollar.  7. To prevent unnecessary delays to such vessels as are arrived from places that might be suspected, (such as the Mediterranean or the West Indies,) but still are perfectly secure and free from contagion, not having been at any infected place, nor having any suspected merchandise on board, and not having had communication with any vessel which could be suspected, nor had any one sick or dead during the voyage—We do order that for such cases all pilots shall be provided with blanks as hereafter written, which the captain and mate of such vessel shall fill, viz. 
Undersigned N. N. commander of the ship N. arrived from N. and N. N. mate of the said vessel, declare, to their certain knowledge, that neither any of the ship's crew or any other person, nor any merchandise or other thing of whatever kind on board of the said vessel is infected with contagion or any dangerous disease; and that the said vessel has not been visited by any cruizers from the African coast or the Levant and has had none dead or sick with an infectious disease during the voyage.
As true help us God and his holy word.
And if this deposition should be found false, we subject ourselves to be dealt with according to the laws of the land.
10. Blanks of this deposition shall be printed in different languages, for the use of foreign vessels that might be subject to the quarantine regulations.
As foreign vessels may not always be provided with a green flag, the pilots are bound to have one continually in readiness to be hoisted in aforementioned cases—if the green flag has been used longer than for one day, the pilot shall receive two Rix dollars for the same, but the vessel may then keep it.

Valuable Medicines.
The Public are respectfully informed that LEE & CO. and the Agents of their appointments, will in future keep a constant supply of the following 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.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR;
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, 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 affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorders to which children are liable; the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Mr. Charles Myers, Hampstead Hill, near Baltimore, had been a long time dangerously ill, and was reduced to the lowest state of weakness, inasmuch that his recovery appeared doubtful. His complaints, which seemed to be affections of the breast and lungs, and general debility occasioned thereby, yielded little, but as he progressed under the treatment of several eminent physicians; when by the use of Hamilton's Elixir, his distressing cough was immediately alleviated, and every other symptom rapidly subsided. Four or five bottles entirely removed his complaints, and restored him to an excellent state of health and strength which he has for upwards of a year past enjoyed without interruption.
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 torments 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. Alijah 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 fall 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 his public testimony in favor of this invaluable medicine.
Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, South Howard Street, was greatly relieved of an asthmatic complaint of several years standing, by the first bottle of Hamilton's Elixir—and by the use of five bottles she has acquired a degree of ease and strength to which she had long been a stranger. She has taken balm of honey, Church's cough drops, and other medicines, without any benefit, and sometimes to the evident injury of her breathing.

THE ARABIAN HORSE THE DEY OF ALGIERS.
WILL stand this season at Mount-Air, near Piscataway, in Maryland, and will cover at Forty Dollars the season, and one Dollar to the Groom (commencing the 10th of March, and to end the 1st of August) the money to be sent with the Mare.
This beautiful animal was brought from Arabia, in the year '98, at four years old, by the late Grand Bailiff Fromm of Prussia, into that kingdom, and was purchased at the sale of the Bailiff's Stud, after his death, at Fe- bellen in '99, by Lieutenant General Fre- derick Baron of Diemar, by whom he was sent to Hamburg to Col. Swan, whence he was by that gentleman shipped to America; to attest which, and to prove him to be a genuine Arabian horse, original certificates are in my hands, and may at all times be seen.
The Dey is of full stature for his race; he measures exactly fourteen hands two inches and an half. His color is nearly white, with a few brown spots dished over his neck and shoulders. In figure and bone, it is believed he will stand the test of the best judgment. He is only eight years old the coming Spring. He is of fine presence and carriage, and re- markably vigorous and active. I have excellent and extensive pasture well fenced, adjoining the stand, at 50 cents per week. Great care shall be taken of mares, and every justice done them with the horse— but I will be answerable for no accidents or escapes. If gentlemen at a distance choose to send servants with their mares, they shall be provided for on reasonable terms.
