ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named BOB,
About 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave has an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good clothing, a description of which is unnecessary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he absconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the discovery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, January 30.
The first regiments of cavalry at Cam- pagnie have received orders to break up for Bologne. Whether the First Consul will set out to day for the coast, as some have said, remains to be seen.
Bonaparte was never in better health than at present.
It is a subject of some observation, that Moreau has not been appointed a member of the Legion of Honor.
The Chevalier d'Azzara, late Spanish Ambassador at Rome, and afterwards at Paris, died here on the 26th inst. at five o'clock in the afternoon. He was interred yesterday with suitable solemnity.
The first of three armed vessels which the city of Ghent builds for the expedition against England, was lately launched at Ghent in presence of the Bishop all the bells in the city were rung on the occasion. It is named the City of Ghent.
The Moniteur of this day contains the following paragraph:
"After Picot and Lebergois had for several years carried on their depredations as Chouans, finding themselves in danger from the tribunals and gens d'armes, who were in quest of them, they went to Lon- don; where they were all as well received as Georges, Debois, Huillemot, Limoscan, Hyde, St. Hilias, &c. whom England sup- ported, contrary to the spirit and faith of the treaty of Amiens. When the menaces thrown out to procure a treaty of commerce were fruitless, and when the peace of the continent again restored at Ratisbon, had convinced the enemy how advantageous it would be for them to get rid of the First Consul, they proposed to these men to make a new attempt with an infernal ma- chine. Picot and Lebourgais left London with instructions and weapons, such as air guns, canes with daggers in them &c.— The police, which has its eye wherever plots and crimes are to be suspected, did not lose sight of London. It received advice of the departure of the two villains, and they were arrested at Pontaudemer, where they went by false names of Dappius and Valee. Several papers of importance, and the weapons they had brought, were found upon them, together with a plan for a small infernal machine. Picot and Le- bourgais have been tried by a military com- mission, and condemned to death. They were shot last Friday in the plain of Gren- nelle. Another robber, by name Cuerelle, who left London last Fructidor, and arriv- ed in Paris in Vendemaire, was likewise arrested and condemned to death: but when the sentence was to be carried into execu- tion, he made some discoveries which if they are of the importance that are report- ed, the wretch may perhaps obtain a par- don, or at least a mitigation of his punish- ment."
The extraordinary Military commission of Bressieur, has condemned to death Francois Gaudine convicted of being a chief a mover and instigator of the armed meet- ing which assembled at Cumberland, and or- dered that Lewis and Jacques Charrier, Pierre Simon, Mathurin Thoures, Fran- cois Martin, Rene Gaufreteau, Jean Bro- saud, Louis Guillot, Pierre Texier, An- toine Touzelet, Jane Fuzeau, Tarpant, Baron, Bodet, Fortument, and Roussieres, convicted of forming part of the meeting, should be carried to the military depot established at Luxemburg.
Some of the Directors of our Bank are to resign and the First Consul will appoint others in their place.
In the Gazette of Presburg is inserted an article of the 26th of December, from Malievatz, an Austrian citadel on the Turkish frontiers, which proves, that not- withstanding the peace between the two empires, a cordon of troops must soon be necessary to cause the territory of his Impe- rial Majesty to be respected. "On the 19th," it is said "the Turks excited an alarm in the neighborhood of our citadel. A firing took place between them and our troops, which soon became so general, that our government ordered the cannon to be fired. After three discharges, the Turks retreated in confusion, and in an hour and a half afterwards every thing was quiet. One soldier of our frontier troops was mortally wounded, and one of our custom house officers slightly."
The colours of the King of Etruria have been substituted on the forts of Leghorn, instead of those of the French Republic; but the French troops continue to garrison the town, and a French General is the Go- vernor.
The Grand Council of the Republic of Lucca opened on the 3d of January its new session; 48 members composed this assem- bly. The executive Council proposed se- veral projects for new laws, but the grand
Council, before all other business, occupied itself with a plan for a national feast to be celebrated annually; and in which the peo- ple of Lucca returns thanks to Bonaparte and to God, for the regeneration of the Republic of Lucca. A number of orators seconded and approved this plan; in their speeches they all alluded to the honorable permission they had obtained to erect a sta- tue of the First Consul in the hall of the council, upon the pedestal of which is in- scribed, "An Pere du peuple Lucquois, le Grand Conseil reconnaissant." (So un- bounded is the active ambition of Bonaparte and so aware of flattery, that the regene- rated slaves of a petty republic of 50,000 citizens, are laid under a contribution for statues and praise, in proportion as much as the thirty millions of slaves of the French Republic!)
The 17th regiment of the troops of the line in garrison at Berg-op-Zoom, receiv- ed suddenly, on the 20th, orders to join the troops encamped in Zealand. The 48th regiment was ex- p- ed from Hanover to take its place at Berg-op-Zoom. In Zealand are now 22,000 French troops, be- sides 4000 Dutch.
The First Consul has ordered a new con- tribution to be laid on the inhabitants in Hanover of 6 per cent. on their income and one on the value of landed property, and 4 per cent. on the fortunes or revenue of every other individual not excepting even those employed under Government.
Even the artillery in the fortress of Harburgh, in Hanover, has been ordered to be transported to France.
They write from Bayonne, that for a month past they have had almost continual- ly a south wind, which had every day be- come more insupportable. The atmos- phere is as if on fire, particularly in the night. The northern lights illumina- the horizon, and spread alarm and dismay. No example is remembered of such an in- version of the seasons. Many diseases are prevalent.
The day before yesterday two men, subaltern officers, as was reported, were brought out of the Abbey, and carried to the Plain of Grenoble, and were shot.
On the death of Count Teotochi, at Corfu, Count Antonio Conti was cho- sen Vice-President of the Republic of the seven Islands.
General Caffarelli, Adjutant to the First Consul, has returned to Paris from Turin.
The colossal statues, representing the Tiber and the Nile; the chests contain- ing the presents sent by the Pope to the First Consul, and several valuable anti- quities, destined for the Museum Napo- leone, have arrived.
The First Consul pays for the carriages of the Members of the Legislative Bo- dy during the Session. Two are to oc- cupy each carriage. Six of these carriages are already finished. The Members of the Tribunate experience the same libera- lity of Government.
The requisition of sailors, for the Brest fleet, was completed a fortnight ago.
BRUSSELS, January 24.
The greater part of the garrisons in the four departments on the left bank of the Rhine, have successively begun their march to join the army of the expedition. All the places on this frontier have only very weak garrisons left in them, but we learn that orders have been given to reinforce them, and that several corps of cavalry have al- ready arrived, which will be followed by more troops from the interior. The works undertaken for the fortifications of the city and citadel of Juliers, will be continued with redoubled activity. The return of the fine weather is only waited for to resume them, and it is believed that they will be completed in the course of the year. As to the other fortresses which are to be built on the left bank of the Rhine, from Fran- kenthal to Buderick, conformably to a plan presented some years since, it is uncertain whether they will be begun this year.
HAMBURGH, Feb. 7.
Representations of a very ardent nature have, it is said, been made by the French Gov- ernment to the Danish Court. Their principal ob- ject is to exclude the English from the ports of the Baltic by shutting up the Sound. Denmark has given a decided negative to this demand, and applied for the mediation of Russia, which has been granted. In the mean time it is a con- templation to train the whole population of the Duchies of Holstein and Sleswick to the use of arms, that they may be ready to resist any hor- rid attempt on the part of the First Consul.
RATISBON, Jan. 27.
Yesterday Count Richer, the French Charge des Affairs, presented to the diet a letter from the Emperor, addressed to one of the members of the Diet, "Napoleon Bonaparte." Its contents concern the religious affairs of Germany.
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 24.
Our King has now permitted the free import- tion of Hungarian wines, upon the same condi- tions of those of France and Portugal. All entrance of these wines into Sweden has hitherto been strongly prohibited, and must have considerably the sale of French wines.
LEGHORN Jan. 4.
In consequence of the order of General Marmont the flag of our Sovereign has been substituted on our forts for that of the French. The latter, however, still retain the command of the interior but they maintain excellent discipline. Com- merce becomes every day more flourishing, and the advantages which all classes will derive from this change are incalculable. Vessels duly arrive which were destined for other ports, but dare not sail for them on account of their being blockaded by the English.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 8.
The following is an extract of a letter received here from Calais:
"Notwithstanding the extraordinary exertions that have been made, the expedition against En- gland can scarcely be expected to take place be- fore the end of March; so much time will be re- quired to assemble the armed vessels and transports at Boulogne, and increase the national flotilla there to the number of fifteen hundred sail. A copy of the regulations relative to the maintain- ance of the eighteen thousand French troops in our republic, has been sent to all the Magistrates for their information; and all demands of the French officers and soldiers, which are not author- ized by this regulation, will be refused."
NEW-YORK, March 22.
The regular trading ship Oneida Chief, captain Kemp, arrived at this port yester- day in 25 days from London, and has po- litely furnished the Editor of the Mercan- tile Advertiser with London papers to the evening of the 20th February, and Prices Current and Lloyd's lists to the 17th, in- clusive; from which we have selected many interesting political and commercial ar- ticles.
Captain Kemp reached the Banks of Newfoundland in 12 days after his depar- ture from London.
The King of England, we are verbally informed, had a relapse on the 21st Febru- ary.
Captain Goddin, of the brig Eagle, left Bordeaux on the 21st February, a few days previous to which time General Au- gereau, passed through that city from the borders of Spain, with an army of 40,000 men, and embarked in the flat-bottomed boats for Rochefort. Intelligence had been received of his safe arrival at the Isle of Rhe. These troops were to join in the ex- pedition against England, which was said to be on the eve of taking place.
For the convenience of being near the coast, the seat of the French Government (according to a report generally believed) is to be removed to Dunkirk. Several of the ministers left Paris for that purpose.
The vessels in the port of Bordeaux were embargoed during the embarkation of Ge- neral Augereau.
Captain Richards, from Martinique, in- forms, that the blockade of that Island by Commodore Hood continued; that several American vessels had been turned off; that all communication was stopped with the shore; and that the English had landed on Diamond Rock, and had fortified it.

Your humble servant, A VOTER.
We have it from undoubted authority, that Monsieur Pichon, Minister from the French government, residing in the city of Washington, has been recalled; and that a person has arrived, who is immediately to fill his place. We are at a loss to conceive the object of this sudden and unexpected measure, but time will no doubt develop it.

LATE FROM EUROPE.
BOSTON, March 13.
Capt. Gardner, from Amsterdam, which he left the 14th February, informs, that at the time of his departure, the Dutch were in daily expectation, that the English under Sir Sidney Smith, would make an attempt to burn the shipping in the New Diepe, which consisted of three ships of the line, two frigates, and two sloops ready for sea; four line of battle ships in ordinary, twenty-five large transports for carrying troops, and a number of Dutch merchantmen. An English fleet of five sail of the line, three frigates and small vessels, were seen every day close in with the land. In consequence of which the garrisons on the Texel and Helder had been reinforced with 2000 Dutch troops.
The preparations in Holland for the grand expedition continued with unabated activity; and the sailing of the troops was considered as at hand.
Capt. Prior, arrived from Rotterdam, has obligingly furnished us with papers to the 4th February. They state, that by letters from Paris, it appeared probable the expedition against England would be postponed until the middle of March, as the preparations, in almost every point, were not thought sufficiently forward to insure complete success.
HAGUE, February 1. The contents of the letter of the Government of State to the Legislative Assembly, proposing the means of raising a new loan of 40 millions, are now published. The government develops the advantages of a loan by way of quotation; and takes great pains to refute the vulgar idea, that the rich ought to be taxed and the middling and poorer exempted; they seem fully to comprehend the proverb, "that many a little makes a mickle." Instead of this being the Age of Reason, according to Mr. Thomas Paine, it seems to be rather the Age of Taxes.

We had the pleasure to advise you of the state of market on the 19th of October, since which we have the arrival of several American cargoes of East and West India produce. This has made some impression on our market, particularly on paper, which, from the unexpected arrivals direct from India to France and this port, together with the low sales in London, have left this article without demand. We have about 600 tons now imported into this market, besides the stock on hand, and more expected.
Coffee experiences a momentary and small depression. Martinique is worth 2 3/4 dollars per 100lb. Cape 2 5/8 a 2 3/4, at which sales have been made; Bourbon 2 5/8. Our stock is not great.
Sugars have been sold since these arrivals—White Havana at 2 3/4 dollars per quintal. India sugars are worth 1 7/8 a 1 3/4. We expect they will support, if they are not checked with accounts of peace, with which we are from time to time favoured; and which makes commerce unsteady.
Logwood is current at 55 a 60 dollars. Nicaragua wood is demanded at 120 a 130 dol-lars.
Nankeens we have had large importations of here, and in France, which has deranged the spi-rit of our buyers. Some of the dealers have begun to resell at 6 1/2 livres off; but we hope they will take courage and support the price as the season advances.
Tobacco is slow, but we think it will support at 7 a 8 dollars.
India piece goods are slow, and we cannot encourage more than 80 cents at Sicca Rupee, except a few qualities that are particularly de-manded.
Ginger and Rum are in calm. Wheat and flour rather look up. American wheat is worth 23 livres per sack.
Of beef and pork we have very little in the market, though flow of sale.
Codfish has been sold at 125 pauls, and we think will support.
Pimento is demanded. On the whole, our market is not overloaded; but the arrivals taking place in a few day alarm-ed our buyers, and the perpetual rumours of prospects of peace, create a great circumspection and diffidence in the re-saleable world.
Oil is low. A case of 12 bottles may be had at 18 livers; a case of 30 bottles at 4 1/2 dollars; soap at 40 livers per 100 lbs.
Brandy could be bought, oil proof, at 8 1/2 a 9 dollars per bbl. They are, however, still low-er in Naples and Spain.
Streights or Mediterranean, claret is low, and might be bought from 60 a 70 livers per hhd. Corsica wine is good and abundant at 14 livers per bbl. of 11 gallons.
We deem it necessary to advise to have a cer-tificate of origin, which should express that the goods are not the produce of any British colonies signed by a French and Spanish Consul.
P. S. Since writing the above, the command of this port is declared by the French to be solely vested in our sovereign and her officers, and will be coming in or going out are no longer sub-ject to any visit or control from the commander of the French troops. This supersedes the ne-cessity of a certificate of origin; it may, however, be useful in case of falling in with French civil-zers. We inclose you a translation of this de-cre.

ORDER OF THE DAY.
The General in Chief decrees
1. That the merchant vessels which enter the Port of Leghorn shall only be subject to the visit of the health officer; they may enter and go out without impediment from the military authority, but conforming themselves to the formalities re-quired in regard to the Commissary of the French republic.
2. The command of the Port of Leghorn is consigned to the authority of the governor of her majesty the reigning Queen. Yet the governor shall be obliged to give every day an account of what passes in the Port to the commanding gene-ral, and to put strictly into execution the existing and future orders respecting the prohibition of ex-porting ammunition and other articles deemed proper for victualling the enemy.
3. All orders contrary to these dispositions are revoked.

Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, March 21.
Mr. Thomas from the committee to whom was referred the amendments of the Senate to the post office bill, reported that it was expedient to agree to the same, with the exception of one amendment.
The House concurred in the report and a-greed to all the amendments but one, which au-thorises a new route to New Orleans, to which they disagreed.
A letter was received from the Secretary of the treasury, exhibiting a statement of the situation of the Mint for the last year.
Mr. R. Griswold moved that the bill re-specting the imposition of new duties be print-ed.
Mr. Nicholson said, as the House had deter-mined to consider the bill to day, such a motion might interfere with this order. As it contained but a single principle he did not think the print-ing necessary.
Mr. Crowninshield said that as but a small de-lay would arise from the printing, he was in favor of it; and added that if new duties were to be laid, he should be in favor of making them gene-ral, instead of limiting them to the articles at present charged with ad valorem duties.
The motion to print was carried; Ayes 52.
The bill laying more specific duties on certain articles and imposing light money on foreign ves-sels entering the ports of the United States was read the third time.
Mr. Huger moved its postponement to the first Monday of December, under the impression that its merits, and the principles it contained, had not received that full and deliberate examination to which they were entitled.
Mr. J. Clay observed that a postponement would be virtually a rejection of the bill.
Mr. Mitchell concisely advocated the princi-ples of the bill.
Mr. Blackledge also defended it.
Mr. R. Griswold opposed it, principally on the ground that it increased the existing rate of du-ties.
Mr. J. Clay replied; and allowed the duties imposed by the bill would produce more revenue than that hitherto received, but contended that this would arise from the fraudulent practice heretofore in use in making out invoices of ar-ticles subject at present to ad valorem duties. In removing this evil the necessary effect would be an increase of revenue, not exceeding, how-ever, the probable receipt in case the invoices were fairly made out.
Mr. Huger followed, in a speech of consider-able length, in which he contended that the op-eration of the bill would be to promote the ma-nufactures of the eastern and middle states to the great detriment of the southern states, prin-
cipally though not entirely on this ground, he de-clared himself hostile to the bill.
After a few remarks from Mr. Boyd in defence—and of Mr. Claiborne against the bill, the question of postponement was taken by Yeas and Nays, and lost; Yeas 40; Nays 68.
Mr. Kennedy moved a recommendation of the section imposing a specific duty on printed calli-coes and lime.
Motion rejected. Ayes 34. The question was then taken on the passage of the bill, and carried in the affirmative by yeas and nays. Yeas 65, nays 41.
The House took up the Message of the Senate on the amendments of the House to the Louisiana bill, which represents the disagreement of the Senate to all the proposed amendments except-ing two.
The amendments were taken up in the order of success-ion.
1. The Message stated the disagreement of the Senate to striking out the 4th section of the original bill, and to the substitution of another section.
On receding from this amendment the House divided by yeas and nays—yeas 37, nays 63.
2. On receding from the amendment of the House to insert "criminal," in the room of "capital," the House divided. Ayes 48—Nays 32.
3. On receding from their amendment, giving equity powers to the courts of Louisiana, the House divided. Ayes 59. Carried.
4. On receding from their amendment, de-claring null all grants of land made subsequently to the treaty of St. L. Louis, the House divided. Ayes 45, nays 46.
5. The Message further stated that they had agreed to the amendment of the House limiting the duration of the bill to two years, with an amendment, substituting one in the place of two.
On agreeing to the amendment of the Senate, the House divided. Ayes 45, Nays 40.
The house then resolved to insist on their amendment, striking out the 4th section—Ayes 57.
The question was then taken by Yeas and Nays on insisting on their 4th amendment, and carried affirmatively—Yeas 53, Nays 36.
The house then entered into a resolution to ask a conference on the disagreeing votes of the two houses, and appointed a committee of three to conduct the conference.
The following bills were received from the Senate, and referred to a committee of the whole.
An act for the relief of William A. Bar-ron.
An act for erecting a light house at the mouth of the Mississippi, and other light houses in dif-ferent places.
An act making a further appropriation for ex-tinguishing Indian claims.
A bill was also received from the Senate fix-ing the next meeting of Congress on the first Monday in November.
Mr. Jackson moved to make the bill the or-der for the 1st Monday in December and request-ed the Yeas and Nays to be taken.
The Yeas and Nays were accordingly taken and the motion rejected, Yeas 37, Nays 65.
When the bill was made the order for to mor-row.
The House passed to a third reading the bill supplementary to the act respecting Consuls and Vice Consuls and for the further protection of the seamen of the United States.

APPLES.
Ten barrels of Apples were shipped on board the sch'r Friendship at N.

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 foramen 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 and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Marrow disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weakness,  Obstinate gleet,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen,
I purchased at your Shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily makes oath as follows, namely, that his wife Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted; when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. B. 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 form obstructions or blockages in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of familiar title, commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, it is a medicine of excellence; this remedy is 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 worms, or any other offensive matter, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual in carrying off all gross humors and eruptions: leversis and bilious complaints, and are the best and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid 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 full and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and whealy 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.
CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER , minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown. York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate 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 mercurious but upon close inspection quit repletes with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.

RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 16th of March instant, THREE NEGROES—
Sam, Suckey and Jane.
Sam is about 40 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high, black complexion, straight limbed and well formed; he has a scar, with a break of grey hairs, on his left cheek. They carried with them three small Children. They have many connections in Alexandria, and it is probable they may be skulking about that place.
