FOREIGN EXTRACTS.
From a Bordeaux paper of the 30th of August, we have taken the following extract of a letter from Naples, dated the 31st of July:
(Salem Register.)
The persons at the Florentine Theatre felt the two first and long shocks. The magistrate who was present gave orders that no one should leave his seat. The spectators while they felt the shock, found themselves at the mouths of the guns of the soldiery. As soon as a quiet was obtained every man retired without disorder. Thro' the night the streets were filled with lamentations, and enquiries for children, parents and friends, as if the world had come to an end.
At three quarters after ten alighter shock was felt, and another like it after midnight — The number of persons killed is very small. The number of wounded is not known, it is said sixty or seventy persons. we hear of five hundred killed at Campo Basso & the town of Arienzo is entirely destroyed, & we are in continual fear of other shocks. Aversa, a town near Naples, is in ruins, as well as Avellino, Benevento, Monte-Festo, Castellone, Mola, Gaeta, Sora, Sessa, Santa Agata d'Egoti, Cajazzo, and many other episcopal towns are much injured. Their houses are in danger of falling, and many have been entirely thrown down. At the moment of the earthquake the air also appeared convulsed, and the windows of the houses made a noise as if struck with hail. The wind before this noise was strong and cold, and ceased after the first shock. Vesuvius was entirely still, and but little smoke issued from it. The inhabitants near it say, that for the whole day before the earthquake, a deep sound was heard within, as from boiling substances. The damages done to Naples by this calamity are great and innumerable. There is not a house, as I told you, which has not suffered. My house, thanks to its age, has suffered less than others. Such as were new, and more solid, experienced the greatest injuries. Such as the Castello Nuovo, the royal academy, the royal hospital for the poor, the old Jesu, the famous bridges of the Aqueducts of Caserte, &c. To the palaces, of which I have spoken as most damaged, I must add the palace royal of Portici, that of the prince of St. Nicanor, which is rendered utterly uninhabitable; the palace of the prince of Maddalone, of Angri, of Rocella, of Sangro, of the duke Della Regina, and many others in the quarter of Pizzesaicone, which are seen only in their ruins. There are many streets in which it is impossible to pass, on account of the ruins, or on account of the falling buildings, and those ready to fall. In many places troops are stationed to prevent any attempt to pass. They, whose houses are yet inhabitable from fear of another shock, do not venture to lodge in their houses, but lay in open places, on the ground, or in carriages. Persons who can support the expence, have provided tents in the fields, and a great number has gone on to Chiaja. Last night, around the new castle, were not less than 10 000 persons and a very great number of carriages, so that there was no passing. Almost all the churches have suffered considerably, as I have already informed you. I shall here only add, that the cathedral church is much damaged, as are the following churches: of St. Augustin, St. Demetrius, and many others. However, the great church of the Holy Apostles, and the grand convent of the Theatins, remain untouched. We every where meet the workmen who are visiting the buildings, and repairing as far as they are able.
Notice is taken of many extraordinary events in different places. I shall only mention one, which respects a fountain situated near San Germano, whose water before was sweet and pure, but since the shock had become instantly sulphurous, &c.
Disturbances at Vienna.
The following copy of a circular note addressed to the magistracy of the Austrian Bailiwicks, corroborates the suspicions entertained of the instrumentality of foreigners (in other words, Frenchmen) in the recent disturbances at Vienna. It likewise, shews that the Austrian government is determined to maintain its dignity, and to persevere itself from the base contamination of Jacobinism; whether excited to promote the views of the republic, or to extend the power of Bonaparte.
Circular Note to the Magistrates of the different Bailiwicks.
VIENNA, July 29.
An official letter we have just received
from the president of the Aulic Police, informs us, that several foreigners, furnished with passports by their respective ambassadors, left Vienna since the disturbances which took place on the 7th and 8th inst. and circumstances induce us to believe, that those foreigners have taken a more or less active part in them, and that the fear of just punishment has made them take flight.
In consequence therefore, of superior orders, it will be necessary to watch, with great attention, strangers and in general all persons who have left Vienna after the period of the said event, whether they have passports delivered to them by the foreign ambassadors resident at Vienna or not. — Proper measures are directed to be taken to arrest such persons, and send them, without delay before the police of Vienna. It is therefore enjoined to all magistrates of bailiwicks, as their particular duty, and upon their responsibility, to use the greatest diligence to discover all persons suspected, and to adopt both themselves and their deputies in each parish, the necessary arrangements to examine the passport of every foreigner coming from Vienna, and passing through their province. In case such an individual shall have no passport, or a passport delivered on the 7th July or later, he is to be arrested immediately, as if he had refused to produce his passport; and whatever be his rank, he is to be sent in irons, and under a sufficient escort to this city. Every magistrate is to understand, that wherever there shall be a military force it is duly required to lend assistance; and that in places where there is none, the escort is to consist of a sufficient number of trusty persons under the command of the gens d'arme of the bailiwick. If the arrest takes place in a village, the arrested person is to be delivered to the bailiff. The same orders are given to all postmasters who, as well as the magistrates, will expose themselves to the severest responsibility, in case it shall be discovered that they shall have failed to arrest a suspicious traveller, and that such traveller shall escape; or in case they shall not have used all possible measures to cause him to be arrested.
Given at the bailiwick of the circle of Tabor, July 19, 1805.

CORK, August 22.
The signal for sailing was displayed on board every ship of war in the harbor yesterday, in consequence of orders received from England, that the expedition is to sail the moment the Diomede, of 60 guns, appears off this port, having under her convoy a few transports with troops, to join the expedition. Report states, that two brigadiers are to join with the additional force. Every soldier here seems animated with enthusiastic delight and joy, at being commanded by a general of the first abilities, and highest reputation.
It is a singular fact, that on the first appearance of Sir D. Baird the soldiers were heard to declare, una voce , "He is the man for our money," such an impression does his martial figure and distinguished name excite in the bosoms of private soldiers, as well as their more enlightened officers. When the troops returned from Brigade-field-days, it is impossible to repeat the observations made on sir D. Baird whom they had never seen before; in short had a demi-god assumed the command, he could not have met more universal admiration: this being literally the case, what feat what achievements will this force not be able to effect! "Nec ardua, nec aspera terrent!" Sir D. Baird unites the strictest discipline, the most minute and constant attention to the happiness and comforts of the soldiery; steady, decisive, firm, and invariable in the administration of justice, he knows how to manage men without petulance or cruelty; he knows that the first and most sacred duty of a commanding officer is to encourage the meritorious, and to punish the unruly. Human nature is the most requisite study of a general, who should never confound the guiltless with the guilty. Some are too prone to this fault; this disheartening fault; others think it necessary to express dissatisfaction when inwardly pleased; a most mistaken and misguided zeal! The signal for sailing is still flying, and we most impatiently expect the appearance of the Diomede. Sir D. Baird and staff go out on board the Diadem, of 64, sir H. Popham. Brig. Gen. Beresford goes in the Narcissus, and brigadier-general Ferguson on board the Leda. Lord H. Paulet is our commodore. We have been joined here by the 59th foot, a very superior corps, under a very excellent officer, col. Gibbs. Our destination is certainly the Mediterranean; Minorca will be our first object, and from thence we shall proceed to Italy. It is said that our force, consisting (when collected together) of
10,000 effectives, will be joined by sixty thousand Russians.
The 24th regiment, commanded by the hon. colonel M'Donald, is in a very superior state of good order and discipline. The interior economy of this excellent corps does the highest credit to this meritorious officer, who has justly obtained the confidence, respect, and high esteem of every individual of his regiment, by the happy union of firmness and decision, with gentleness, steadiness, and amiable manners. The 38th are above 1000 strong, under the command of that old and excellent officer lieut. col. Vassal. General Beresford has the 24th, 38th, and 83d in his brigade, all in high discipline and well commanded; they performed many evolutions, on shore the day before yesterday. General Ferguson commands that excellent brigade of highlanders to be employed on the expedition.
Four o'clock, P. M.
A countermand has just arrived, and we are to be detained until further orders. It is here supposed that we shall sail for England. Admiral Drury holds a consultation at this moment with Lord H. Paulet and Sir Home Popham; and the result is expected to be, that the Terrible, Belliqueux, and Diadem will be sent to sea. This countermand has depressed our spirits excessively; still we trust it will not be long before we meet our enemy under the gallant Baird, the military Nelson of the day, who will lead willing, tractable courageous and well disciplined soldiers to honor and victory. His name will intimidate a host of foes, and would inspire even cowards with courage and confidence, were any such to be found in a British army.
BOSTON, October 22.
From Holland September 2.
Letters are received in town from Amsterdam, by an arrival on Tuesday last, which contains the following information: "Seven vessels have arrived at this place, which were carried into England & after a short detention, released. — This circumstance has caused in some measure, a depression in the markets. There is a report to-day, that the Austrian ambassador had quitted Paris; a continental war is therefore now considered as inevitable."
From Gibraltar.
Captain Rogers, arrived here yesterday from Gibraltar, in 34 days passage, brings accounts that the combined French and Spanish fleets were still at Cadiz; that admirals Calder and Collingwood, were before the place, with a squadron of about seventeen sail; and that Lord Nelson with an additional force was hourly expected to arrive on that station, for the purpose of taking the command of the blockade.
[According to this account then, the various rumors of a great naval engagement, falls to the ground.]
Captain Rogers further advises, that the French and Spanish troops in the neighborhood of Gibraltar, were said to amount to between twenty and thirty thousand men, and that on the event of a return of the calamity, which proved so fatal to the garrison and inhabitants during the last year, it was expected an attack would be made. At present the troops enjoyed great health and were prepared to meet the enemy at every point.
The differences between this country and Tripoli, being fully adjusted, a part of the United States squadron, then lying at Gibraltar, and consisting of 4 frigates, 2 schooners, and 2 bomb brigs, were expected to sail immediately for America.
No accounts had been received at Malaga or Gibraltar, of any hostile disposition having been recently discovered on the part of Tunis, or any of the other Barbary powers against this country.
NEW-YORK, November 1.
Captain Anderson of the Calliope, left Nantz the 16th of September. He informs that the British frigate Dido captured the French frigate Cybelle, after a desperate engagement of four hours; and that the new French frigate La Topaze, out of Nantz, had fallen in with the British frigate Nymph, and after a most severe engagement, in which the greatest part of the Nymph's crew were killed, she struck her colors and immediately sunk. In the act of sinking, the boats from the Topaze saved the remnant of her crew. The above engagements were in the channel.
An arrival at Boston from Halifax, brings papers from that place to the 12th inst. containing London dates to the 9th September. The following are the only articles extracted:
Letters from Lisbon state, that the French frigate Topaze, of 44 guns (one of
those which destroyed the Blanche,) has been captured by the Raisonable, of 64 guns, capt. Rowley, and sent into Lisbon.
Sept. 9 Nine sail of the East-India fleet have arrived safe. The remainder were parted with about a week since, and are momentarily expected.
The Rochefort squadron returned to that port the 1st September; after a short cruise.
The King has been pleased to appoint the Duke of York, to be Colonel of the 1st regt. of foot guards; in the room of the Duke of Gloucester deceased. The Duke of Cambridge (5th son of His Majesty) to be Colonel of the Coldstream regiment of foot guards in the room of the Duke of York; and the Duke of Kent (4th son of His Majesty) to be Field Marshall of the forces.
It is reported, that the emperor of Germany in case of war, now inevitable, will take the field in person: he will be accompanied by his brothers the archduke Charles and the archduke John. The celebrated general Mack will also have an important command. Opposed to these will be the French emperor in person; assisted by Bernadotte, Augereau, Massena, &c. but he will want a Moreau.
The visit of Bonaparte to the coast was for the purpose of sending off his troops towards Germany.
The language of Germany though rather inconsistent with her conduct, is still excusable. She knows the potency of France — and though she finds war unavoidable, she is not willing to commence hostilities until she has a Russian army at her elbow.
It is somewhat remarkable, that the Paris papers, which a few days since, chimed so musically on the prospects of Peace; on the pacific disposition of the Emperor of Germany; and the good understanding subsisting between the two nations, should all at once change their tone; and are now altogether warlike. Nothing is now heard but the din of warlike preparation and the studied exaggeration of all the accounts from Germany; as though there were a pretext wanting for some bold stroke which the emperor Napoleon contemplates striking.
Lord Nelson's new appointment is, in some measure unlimited; he is to act on emergencies according to the best of his judgment. He proceeds first to Cadiz, then to the Mediterranean over which his command extends. In certain operations he is to have the selection and appointment of his favorite officers.
We stated yesterday that orders had been received by the 5th, 42d, 43d, 52d and 95th regiments, and the 4th and 6th Inniskillen dragoons, to prepare for embarkation for foreign service, similar orders from the war office were also received on Tuesday last at the head quarters in Canterbury, from the secretary at war, by the several undermentioned regiments: kings dragoon guards, 4th dragoon guards, 5th 10th, 15th, 21st, light dragoons, 43d, 52d and 95th, two brigades of foot guards, a detachment of the royal waggon train, all the first battalions of the line, a large party of artillery.
The first battalion of the coldstream, and the first battalion of the third regiment of guards, now lying at Deal are ordered to hold themselves in readiness for embarkation. The officers belonging to the battalions who were employed on the recruiting service, are ordered to join them immediately.
In this enumeration, we find materials for an expedition upon a very extensive scale. Combining it with the breaking up of the camps at Boulogne, we may presume that some great military enterprises are at hand. The presumption, therefore, is, that hostilities will immediately commence upon the continent. In that event the expedition now preparing in England whatever be its immediate object, will operate as a powerful diversion in favor of our continental allies. The invader will become the invaded, and all the boast and menace of the Corsican will only recoil in disgrace upon his own head. The particular enterprise in contemplation of the English government, we cannot be expected to know; nor, if knowing, to reveal. There are many points between the Texel and the Gulph of Genoa, in which an English army may gather new laurels, and contribute its generous aid to the deliverance of Europe.

Oct. 16.

Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated October 12, received at New-York. The trial of the Indians and cargo came on the 9th inst. when, contrary to our expectations, both ship and cargo's part of the cargo were condemned, on the ground that it was intended to be sent in Boston to London with the same.
The English cruisers appear to have not only captured American vessels from or from French or Dutch ports; the arrival at Boston reports that two American vessels from Amsterdam, about the first of September, were captured in the English channel, and sent into the Downs. It may therefore be seriously questioned whether any countermanding orders were given by the British Government in relation to our commerce. So various are the reports on this head, each contradicting the other, that our merchants can place little dependence on them. If some detained ships have been lately released, many have been captured before and since that time, whose restoration is very uncertain. It is full time the English Government should tell us whether sugar and coffee are absolutely to be added to the list of contraband articles in their code of maritime law, and whether we are to be permitted to carry on any trade with France and Holland or Spain in future. Until our merchants are correctly informed on these points, it may be questioned whether it is safe to send their ships to the ports of any power at war with Great Britain. If the whole commerce of the United States could be brought to centre in that Island, it is highly probable our ships would escape adjudication; but as it is now we are no more allowed a free trade, than we were previous to the revolution which emancipated us from England, when all our vessels were obliged to go to some port in Great Britain, to enter and clear out, before they were suffered to trade with the other powers of Europe. Such were the British restraints and prohibitions on American commerce then; and such have we the mortification of seeing them at this enlightened period of our history. But we hope a time will arrive when we shall undauntedly claim the rights which we ought to enjoy, from our relative situation with the other powers of the world, and from our resources in men and money which constitute the real strength of great States. (Salem Register.)
It is reported in this city, that the Spanish minister, the Marquis d'Yrujo having determined to leave the United States, has demanded his passports from our government. The report adds, that the president observed in reply, that we had no such etiquette in this country, and that it was in the power of a foreign minister to quit the United States when and how he pleased. A report so important in itself, since it may be regarded as an ominous sign of an approaching rupture between the two countries, we shall take the earliest opportunity to contradict or confirm.
[Richmond Enquirer.]
A file of New Orleans papers, which we received by yesterday's western mail, breathes a strong spirit of defiance and war against the Spaniards. They contain but few facts of any great moment; and these appear rather in the form of floating rumours, than in the firm & authenticated language of truth. The paper of September 14 observes, "we can state from a source that may be relied on, that an army of 5000 men is on its march from Mexico to strengthen the Spanish frontier on Louisiana." The paper of the 18th observes, "we learn from good authority, that the Marquis de Casa Calvo has written a circular letter to all the Spanish officers now in this territory, requesting them to repair without delay to Pensacola, to join their respective regiments." That of the 21st in sketching out a concise plan of the measures to be taken on the commencement of hostilities, remarks, "that by drawing the troops from the various posts on the Mississippi, from the Walnut hills to Point Coupee, and calling into service the Orleans volunteers, we should have a force sufficient to strike a blow that the enemy would not recover from during the war."
Baton Rouge might be taken by the troops as they descend the Mississippi; when concentrating our forces at this place, we would pass into the West-Florida, and occupy Mobile, Pensacola, and such other places as we might deem necessary." That
their exertions would have the desired effect, we cannot presume to doubt, when we recollect the general imbecility of Spanish policy and the remarkably defenceless condition of the Floridas. One of the Creek Chiefs, who was lately at this city, declared, that a very inconsiderable detachment of men might obtain possession of all the forts on the Mobile, and even of Pensacola itself.

On Monday the seventh instant, says the Augusta Herald, Benjamin Hawkins, the Indian agent for the United States, arrived here, with a deputation of chiefs from the Upper and Lower Creek nations consisting of Alexander Cornells and Tuskenahaw, from the upper towns; and Wm. McIntosh—Tuskee-nee hue Chayco—Enchau Thioocco, and Che cap, cheleo Emantleau, from the lower towns. On Tuesday they left this place in the stage for the city of Washington—We understand their visit to the seat of government is to treat for an extension of the boundary line of this state to the Oakmulgee river. The Upper Creeks we are told are in favor of ceding the land as far as the Oakmulgee, and the Lower Creeks are opposed to it, we believe however that the agent is of opinion, the land may be obtained.
It will afford pleasure to a benevolent mind to know that the efforts of col Hawkins, to ameliorate the condition of the savage tribes & to bring them into something like a social state have been greatly successful, and that they are almost daily, though slowly, making advances in civilization.—There were in the Creek nation when the agent left it twelve looms employed, eight of them, if we recollect right, were made by Indians, and are worked by indian women, who also spin the cotton which they weave. The plow and the hoe are now also in very general use among them, and in becoming attached to property, and being acquainted with the comforts and advantages of agricultural improvements they are leaving very considerably that predilection for the chase and the hunting life, which almost universally characterises savage nations. The agent has introduced among them weights and measures, and made many of them acquainted with figures, so that they were able to weigh out their own articles for sale, and to calculate the amount of them with great accuracy, and the advantages they discover to arise from these glimmerings of science, is gradually exciting a desire to extend their knowledge, and will doubtless prepare the way for establishment of schools among them, and will create an ardor for future improvements.—From the advances already made in the arts of civil life there can be little doubt that a foundation is laid for an entire change in the disposition & habits of these tribes.
With mingled emotions we congratulate our fellow citizens on the restoration of the public health, and our exiled brethren on their return to the city and their homes.—For seven tedious weeks, they have been subjected to trouble and privation, to inconvenience and loss, to sickness and sorrow. Into the hand of many the cup of calamity has been put, and the heart of not a few aches at the remembrance of the misery they have witnessed, and of the friends they have consigned to the silent grave.—In preceding columns our readers have a register the sight of which will swell many a bosom and fill many an eye. Nor does the melancholy record end here: by other diseases than malignant fever have several valuable names been cut off from society since the retreat of whom in ONE was indeed dear to the writer; whose character is sullied by no stain, and whose memory no time will obliterate. But now that the season of sickness is past, and the noise of busy commerce is again heard in our streets, let us cherish sentiments of gratitude towards that God who has preserved us in life amidst the danger and the death that surrounded us, and has restored us to our business and our homes. [New York paper.]
From the Farmer's Museum.
The maxim, that no man will be respected by others, who does not respect himself, which is universally recognised, may with propriety be extended from individuals to societies. If the government of a nation shews the disposition to receive injuries and insults from every quarter, in preference to a courageous vindication of right, ambitious monarchs will not hesitate to make a severe trial of that christian virtues, meekness and forbearance. Apprehending little danger from the resentment of a nation which tamely suffers its privileges to be violated, the property of its citizens
plundered and their persons abused, without resistance and almost without complaint, they will be bold in their outrages; and their insolence will increase with success & impunity. Thus will pusillanimity be deprived of her sole and wretched consolation, the preservation of an inglorious peace, and the nation that has the misfortune to be governed by such men as we have described, will be driven by despair to defend herself, when her resources are impaired if not exhausted. It, on the other hand, a determination appears, to withstand all encroachments, to resent injuries and to maintain their just rights with firmness and resolution, they will be respected and feared, and will prove that a constant preparation for war is the most effectual method for maintaining peace. National honor is a people's best treasure and their surest support. It increases their power, multiplies their resources, and secures their tranquility. It is equally sacred as the honor of an individual, should be guarded with the same jealousy, and defended at the hazard of every thing dear and valuable.
I have been led to these reflections by observing the supine indifference, with which our government contemplates the frequent instances, wherein the laws of nations and the rights of neutrality have been violated by the belligerent powers. The columns of our public papers have, for some months past, been filled with accounts of depredations on our commerce, of captures without pretence, and condemnations contrary to reason and the known laws of nations. Even our seaports have been blockaded, and vessels have been taken when about to enter our harbours.
While the maritime powers of Europe, a-enly considering the poverty of our citizens as common, and belonging to whoever has strength to seize it, are thus heaping injury upon injury, and adding insult to insult, our rulers seem to have sunk into a listless apathy, and to behold these things with the most philosophical indifference and perfect sang froid. When the federal government was administered by Washington and Adams, assisted by Hamilton, Pickering, and a host of worthies, the interest of our merchants and the honor of our country were not thus neglected. These men were real statesmen, sensible of the infinite importance of commerce and national character. "An American" was then a proud name in Europe; but the conduct of the present administration must have the effect of making gentlemen of honor and spirit ashamed of their country. They will not willingly bear the disgrace, to which the weakness of government has subjected them, without any fault of theirs; nor will they confess, that they are governed by men who consent to receive injuries, not only from France and Great Britain, but from a nation so humbled and so destitute of strength and vigor as Spain. A nation, once powerful and warlike, but which has long since lost her ancient spirit and military genius, and now receives laws from the emperor of France. SARPEDON.
From the Gazette of the United States.
FRANKLIN & WASHINGTON.
SINCE Mr. Jefferson's return to the seat of government we have been favored, thro' his Intelligencer, with a very amusing burlesque dialogue between the shades of Franklin and Washington, the substance of which is contained in the following extracts.
Franklin. Infamy will cover those whose envienomed pens are now busy in traducing the most illustrious characters. Jefferson, who was cradled in liberty, will live to see his calumniators covered with universal contempt.
Washington. That man has risen beyond my highest hopes. And what is more were it possible to assign him a higher station, he richly deserves it. Happy the country that has such a chief magistrate, and still happier the nation that is worthy of him.
Franklin. The American horizon is not altogether without clouds; and the present sunshine may not be without intermissions. But take my word for it, this man, whom I sometimes, perhaps vainly, take pleasure in considering as my pupil, will long be a friend in every peril. Power has not corrupted, nor can it corrupt him. Its only effect is to animate and expand his native benevolence; to make him more active, and the instrument of more extensive good to his fellow men.
Washington. Yes, his character shines with a pure and steady lustre. He has promised nothing which he has not performed while he has performed much which he never promised: That such a man should be deluged with obloquy.
"Franklin." Is a proof of his eminence."
Had this singular dialogue appeared anywhere else than in Mr. Jefferson's own paper, we should have considered it as a very tolerably ingenious piece of satire. To close the scene, Mr. Mazzei should have been in the character of Mr. Jefferson, and made to say some smart things about one "Solomon in council and Sampson in combat, whose hair had been cut off by the whore of England."
The ghost of Callender might also have been brought in with wonderful effect to illustrate the sentiments of the following part of the dialogue by reading certain appropriate passages from the Prospect before Us, and certain friendly letters enclosing money to compensate him for writing that patriotic work.
"Washington." There is a host of men who calumniate the fairest characters and the greatest men.
"Franklin." The adamant of whose fame blunts the arrows of slander, which fall pointless to the ground.
"Washington." These wretches dare not cast my name into their service; as if I could ever debase myself by sanctioning the atrocious falsehoods which party malice alone could propagate."
Should further illustration be thought necessary Mr. Paine could furnish it from that part of his "useful labors" entitled "A Letter to George Washington, Esq."
Should Mr. Jefferson think proper to favor us with a second edition of this dramatic performance corrected and improved, we have no doubt he will be able to make use of these hints in such a manner as greatly to enhance the spirit and interest of the piece.

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 the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen,
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensis and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, 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 favor of his 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 unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Loss of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weaknesses, Seminal weaknesses, Fluorhs (or whites), Barrenness,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obsolete glects, 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 labored 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.
W. 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.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and medy 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; though 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 humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the tastel and mildest purgative that can be used on the 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 Tæres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tænia or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted urine—itching in the nose and about the feet—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 townness 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 advanced stages 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 twenty 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 his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, 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 merits are abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York-town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mass but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. 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 carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
