Late Foreign Intelligence.
By arrivals at New-York.
LONDON, April 28.
Another plot has been discovered in France, and it appears that a plan has been formed to surrender Brest to the English. An old officer, named Rivoire, who is now awaiting in the castle of Louides, the execution of a sentence of transportation, has written a long letter to the Grand Judge, in which he confesses that he and Georges were to have seized Brest some time ago, and that he should have succeeded but for the delay and indecision of the emigrant Prince's council. [This letter was published in the Alexandria Advertiser some few days since.] He acknowledges also that he knew of the plot of the 3d Nivose or the infernal machine. The motives of this man's confession are obvious. He wishes to get his sentence remitted, which Bonaparte has no doubt promised him, if he will accuse Georges, against whom, as well as Moreau there is insufficient evidence to prove the charges brought against them.
This Rivoire cant about the love of his country and of justice; but what a fate is he preparing for those who tried him, and for such of his countrymen as may be tried in future for political offences! He acknowledges that his judge who acquitted him, ought to have found him guilty, thus making them objects of suspicion and distrust to the first consul. The French government mean Rivoire's letter no doubt as a hint to other Judges not to be too ready to pronounce a verdict of acquittal.
The account of the dreadful disaster to our shipping on the coast of Portugal, was brought by the Walsingham packet from Lisbon. The number lost is near forty sail. They were lost on the morning of the 2d of April, before day break, between Cape Mandego and Aveiro, on the coast of Portugal. The Apollo sailed from the Cove of Cork on the 26th March, in company with the Carysfort frigate, and 68 sail of merchantmen, bound to the West Indies. The Carysfort appeared off Oporto on the evening of the 2d instant, with about 20 sail of the convoy, steering for the westward. Capt. Dixon who commanded the Apollo, shared the fate of his ship, with the third lieutenant, and about one hundred of the crew. The rest of the men are saved.
April 30.
By the general orders published at Paris, on the 14th April, it appears that rumours prevailed there of Pichegru having been assassinated, and of several persons taken up as conspirators, having been shot. General Murat asserts, "that no one guilty person has been condemned by the military tribunal, without his sentence having been printed and posted up immediately."
In order, however, that the public may prejudge Moreau and that their minds may be so prejudiced against him as to preclude the possibility of his having a fair trial, he adds that the arrest which have taken place since that of General Moreau, have confirmed his guilt.
Letters from Constantinople of the 14th March, say, Ali Pacha has been murdered on his way from Alexandria to Cairo, supposed by the Bays. The grand Seignor and his ministers, in great consternation, that their governor should have met such a fate, have appointed the Pacha of Acre governor of Egypt, to restore tranquillity, and have sent a squadron of ships of war to support him.
A Russian frigate with transports, having 900 troops, have been permitted to pass the Dardanelles for Corfu. A second squadron is expected.
Mr. Drake has left Munich in such haste, that he would not wait for his carriage but went on foot.
The celebrated Mr. Necker, formerly minister of finance in France died on the 9th of last month at Geneva at an advanced age.
May 1.
The Marquis of Stafford's motion upon the defence of the country was postponed yesterday, at the particular request of Lord Hawkesbury. The manner in which his lordship made the request was ominous.
"Some circumstances have arisen," he said, "of a nature which I deem inconsistent with my public duty to state at the present time; however, I trust noble lords will do me the credit to think that I would not make the request without having given any previous intimation of such a wish on my part, unless the circumstances I allude to were of that nature, as all their lordships would, were they aware of them, agree with me in thinking it desirable that the discussion proposed by the noble marquis should be postponed."
What these circumstances are we presume not to decide; but it is probable that those who speculate upon the resignation of ministers may find themselves mistaken.
After concluding a very beneficial loan, for the benefit of the country and the contractors, Mr. Addington yesterday opened the budget. The burthens are as moderate as, in the present state of affairs, could have been expected. The war taxes are to be augmented in their produce one million.
This augmentation is upon wine, from 12 to 19 guineas a ton; an augmentation which the wine merchants were told last year to expect. The produce of this tax is estimated at 200,000l.
An addition of 12 1-2 per cent on the articles under the head of Consolidated Customs excepting wine, tea and cotton wool and doubling, the duty on raisins and sweets. The estimated produce of this addition is 800,000l.
1,000,000l.
This is the proposed augmentation of the war taxes to a million beyond their present produce.
The interest of the loan is to be provided for in another way; it amounts to between 7 and 800,000l. It is proposed to consolidate the stamp duties, rather lessening the duty on stamps used in legal proceedings, and increasing the duty on stamps for the transfer of property. The minister supposes the produce of this consolidation will be 800,000l. which will more than cover the interest of the loan.
An interesting conversation took place yesterday in the House of Peers, previous to the postponement of the Marquis of Stafford's motion to Friday next. Lord Hawkesbury requested the postponement, on grounds which he said it would be inconsistent with his duty to explain; he could not pledge his credit and character for its propriety and necessity. Earls Carlisle, Fitzwilliam, and Lord Grenville pressed the noble secretary for a further explanation, which was firmly refused. It was further urged, that no business relative to the defence of the country should be brought forward in the interim, which was partly conceded, Lord Hawkesbury promising that nothing should be presented of a nature likely to occasion a division of sentiment. The above circumstance, combined with a great bustle in the morning among the ministers, produced a variety of reports. Some said, that a Regency is on the tapis; others that Mr. Addington is making an arrangement for his immediate resignation; others assigned other motives. We do not know which of them deserves most credit; but it appears that some important event is near at hand. Mr. Fox's motion in the House of Commons, relative to the Hanoverian troops, which stood for Wednesday, was also postponed upon the same ground.
May 2.
Mr. Addington, we understand, remains in office only till another administration is formed; a work we should suppose of no little delicacy and difficulty. Several of our contemporaries, however, have already settled the business, and have already filled up all the various offices, to the great surprise, no doubt of many of the persons whom they have nominated to different posts. Whether Mr. Pitt will come into power with Mr. Fox or without we know not. It is however, we believe, certain that Mr. Pitt will be at the head of the new administration. A message from his Majesty was communicated to him on Monday, by the Lord Chancellor; and after conveying his answer to the Queen's house, his Lordship had a second interview with him yesterday. It is also stated that he waited upon his majesty this morning. We do not hear that Mr. Fox has been sent for; it is probable therefore that Mr. Pitt has the arrangement of the new ministry. But it is reasonable to expect that the ministry will be composed of the three confederated parties. Mr. Pitt will, in all probability, be the First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Fox and Lord Grenville, two of the Secretaries of State; Lord Loughborough perhaps will be the new Chancellor. As yet, however, we believe that nothing has been arranged, nothing decisively determined upon, except the resignation of the present administration.
It has frequently happened in the history of this country and its constitution, that one of the three estates has gained so preponderating an influence, as to overhaunce, for a time, the other two. In general, the struggles have been between the democra-
tic estate and the monarchical or kingly estate. In the present instance the triumph is on the aristocratical branch. It would be absurd to deny that the union of a great body of Peers has produced on the part of his majesty's ministers, that determination which led Lord Hawkesbury to the step he adopted the day before yesterday. From the manner and tone in which the opposers of ministry spoke, from their more than half avowed wish to bring on the discussion of the marquis of Stafford's motion, it may be inferred, that they reckoned if not upon an absolute majority, at least upon equalling the strength and numbers of their antagonists. The decisive blow has therefore been struck, not in the Commons but in the Lords; it is there that circumstances have been developed which may have induced his majesty's ministers to retire. The same effect was produced when Mr. Fox's India Bill was under discussion. But in that case, the Monarchical and Aristocratical branches acted together.
Upon the present ministry, and upon the present state of affairs, we have little to add to what we have so often said, that retire when Mr. Addington may, he will retire without the voice of the country having in any part of it called for his dismissal, and with the praise of having acted to the best of his ability for the good of his country. The whole secret of the opposition to him, and of the approaching changes, consists in three words—his majesty's illness.
May 6.
Although a considerable portion of our impression has been worked off, we stop the press to announce, that to this moment nothing has been settled as to the formation of a new administration.
His Majesty has not seen Mr. Pitt.
Mr. Addington has not given in his resignation, as has been erroneously stated in some of the daily papers; and it is equally untrue that he has declared his resolution to retire from a public situation forever. Such a declaration would be highly unbecoming a man who appears to be ever governed by a sense of duty to his sovereign and his country, and by which sentiments the public are bound to conclude that he will continue to be actuated, whether in a public or private station.
It is whispered that Mr. Addington has formed the determination, neither to accept pension, place nor rank on his retiring from office.
The public have been already informed that Mr. Pitt, by desire of the king communicated to his majesty the names of those persons whom he and his friends wished to comprise in the new administration, and who united most of the talents and the influence of the country. It was even so late as yesterday evening asserted that this list had not been then returned; that his majesty did not disapprove the admission of Mr. Fox and his friends in the cabinet, but that he decidedly objected to any alteration in the existing religious establishments of any part of the United Kingdom.
The King, it is further stated, has personally objected to the opposition, amongst whom are the marquis of Stafford and Lord Grenville; while it is added that his majesty has expressed an inclination that the duke of Portland, lord Eldon, and lord Hawkesbury may retain their present appointments. There are a thousand other reports afloat on this interesting topic.
The Duke of York is appointed ranger of St. James's Green and Hyde Park, in the room of the Earl of Euston, resigned.
General Lake's portion of the booty, taken in the purest gold, at the single town of Agra, amounts to 36,000l. Col. St. Leger's to 40,000l. and every captain who served on that day to 2000 each.
The report of a regency is revived and accredited in the best informed circles; and the measure is said to be in the full approbation of his majesty.
The elector of Baden has charged the Prussian minister, count Goertz, who votes for him at Ratsbon, to notify to the Diet the late violation of his territory by the French. The communication, however, is to be made individually to the ministers of the different Courts, the elector being deterred from a public avowal of the injury, by an apprehension of exciting the hostility of his lawless neighbor.
Talleyrand is stated to have quoted the example of the elector of Baden, to induce the elector of Bavaria to connive at a similar violation of the law of nations in relation to some emigrants who had sought an asylum in his dominions.
The king of Sweden is stated to have been much chagrined by the answer of Bonaparte, to a note which he addressed to him from Calrushe on the arrest of the Duke d'Enghien.

d

A great number of Italians have been ordered to leave Vienna, in consequence of application made by the French Minister to the Austrian cabinet to that effect. The bishop Chalon was arrested for drawing a pension from England, and for addressing a pastoral letter to his diocese. The abbé Aymar, who was arrested by the French government in Germany, died of an apoplexy as they were conveying him to Paris.
A letter from Middleburgh states, that the troops were much harassed by the activity of the squadron under Sir Sidney Smith, and that they were obliged to rest by day, being constantly under arms at night.
The police in Holland have become so circumspect, that no person is allowed to enter or to leave any of the towns without permission; and some strangers have been arrested for neglecting to announce their arrivals to the prefects.
The First Consul is stated to have recently declared in a circle of private friends that he was glad to find Moreau is not so culpable as it was first supposed.
It was strongly reported at Paris at the date of the last letters, that the two Polignacs, and the count de Rochefoucault have died in prison.
To countenance the shallow tale of Pichegru having been guilty of suicide, an order has been issued, that the prisoners of the Temple shall be unremittingly guarded; in the apartments of Moreau, Georges, &c. five gen d'arms are stationed night and day. Thuriot, a brother-in-law of the infamous Danton, and a favorite agent of Robespierre, is the person to whom the examination of prisoners in the Temple is confided.
By the Negotie, Vander May, the Vriendshap, Noordburgh, and some other vessels which yesterday arrived in the river from Holland and Flanders, we are led to believe the long meditated attack upon this Empire will not be delayed much longer. Some accounts from Bruges, dated the 1st instant, expresses an opinion that it will be attempted about the middle of this month; and adds "all the troops to be employed in the enterprise, are now assembled in the numerous camps between Montreuil and Blackenburg."
FROM SPAIN—A letter from Madrid of the 5th April says, "by an ordinance published here this day, all individuals and families, whether natives or foreigners, who have no certain occupation, or fixed residence, unless they can give satisfactory reasons for continuing here must leave the city within thirty days. In any case time will be prescribed for their departure, and the foreign ambassadors must engage for foreigners of their nation, of whom they must give a list if they wish to prolong their stay."
"We are now fearful that our neutrality will not continue much longer, the government having given orders that British prizes shall not be sold in Spanish ports. The English envoy Mr. Frere, and Consul general Mr. Hunter, have received explicit intimation on this subject."
Private letters from Paris assert that a message has been sent to the senate upon the subject of declaring the sovereign power hereditary in the family of Bonaparte—Upon the demise of Bonaparte the son of Louis will be his successor in the Empire of the Gauls; and should he not be of age when that affair happens, Joseph or Louis will be declared regent. Such at least is the rumor contained in private letters.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. MONDAY, JULY 2.
Late from LISBON.
Captain Carew, of the brig Neptune of this port, in 30 days from Lisbon, came up from his vessel yesterday, and has obligingly furnished us with the following information:
The American Consul at Lisbon, Mr. Jarvis, had received letters from Mr. Livingston at Paris, announcing that Bonaparte had been proclaimed Emperor of the Gauls , that the French Minister had received official information of that event, in consequence of which Lisbon was illuminated, and Te Deum sung in all the Churches, to attend which all the foreign Ministers and Consuls had been invited, and none refused except the English Consul.
A report had prevailed there a few days, said to have been brought by a New England Captain, that Admiral Nelson was dead but it had been contradicted.
Captain Carew spoke the brig Aurora out ten days from Surinam, bound to New York.
MR. DRAKE. —From the various accounts respecting this gentleman, in the French and English papers, we have been able to collect the following information: That, supposing Bonaparte had sent a body of men to arrest him, he left Bavaria on the first of April; but previous to his departure, his Electoral Highness ordered a note to be transmitted to him, the substance of which was, that he, the Elector, was then in possession of the original letters, relative to the conspiracy, said to be written by Mr. Drake—that in consequence he could hold no further communication with him—and that in pursuing this line of conduct, the Elector believed he would receive the approbation of the British King. On the 4th April he arrived at Augsburg, and from thence continued his journey. It was supposed he would go to Hamburg, and embark from thence to England. Previous to his departure, he is said to have demanded an audience of the Elector, which, however, was positively denied. It is asserted that he requested a passport to go to Vienna, but was refused by the Imperial Ministry. It is likewise reported, that Bonaparte sent peremptory dispatches to his diplomatic
gent at Munich, to compel the Elector, by threats, to arrest Mr. Drake. From these statements nothing positive can be inferred, and until official communications are received, the conduct of this gentleman must remain in mysterious uncertainty. The following is the note of the Minister of Bavaria mentioned above:
(Official Note.) "The undersigned, minister of state, of his most Serene Highness the Elector of Palatine of Bavaria, has received express orders from his most Serene Electoral Highness, to transmit to his Excellency Mr. Drake, the printed copy of letters here annexed, and to inform him, that the originals of those letters, written with Mr. Drake's own hand, are now before him."
"His most Serene Electoral Highness is deeply afflicted that the very place of his residence should become the focus of a correspondence so foreign to the mission in which his Excellency Mr. Drake has been placed—and he owes it to his dignity, to his honor, and to the welfare of his people, to declare to his Excellency, that from this moment, it will be impossible for him to have any communication with Mr. Drake, or henceforth to receive him at his court."
"Two of his most Serene Electoral Highness' subjects, strongly implicated by Mr. Drake, have been arrested at Munich, for having, at his instigation, ventured upon steps reprobated by the laws of nations."
"The undersigned is ordered also to declare, that his most Serene Electoral Highness knows the noble and generous sentiments of his Britannic Majesty, & of the English nation, too well to suppose that his conduct on this occasion, can be subject to the least reproach. He will hasten to explain it direct to his Majesty, and to deposit in his bosom the deep regret he feels in withdrawing his confidence from a minister who had been seen to represent his Majesty at this court. The Elector is fully convinced that his Britannic Majesty will see in this measure, although very painful to himself, nothing but a new proof of the very high opinion which he has of his Majesty's character, and of the benevolence of which the Electoral house has received so many proofs."
(Signed) "Baron de Montgelas." "Munich, March 31, 1804."
LAW CASE. The following case came before the Mayor's Court this morning. A gentleman of the Bar, who was present, has favored us with a brief report of the proceedings.
MAYOR'S COURT. Commonwealth, } Indictment for assaulting v. s. } and beating Joseph Scott. Wm. Duane. }
Prisoner submitted to the Court. Joseph Scott, Sworn. There was a meeting of Cedar ward called on the 18th of May last. When I went in, but few of the members were there, soon after I went Duane came in, he moved that we should proceed to business. I opposed the motion because there was nothing of much consequence to be transacted, and it could be done in a short time; Duane and some others withdrew from the room—when I came out, I saw Duane standing to my left talking with Mr. Henderson. I spoke to Mr. Henderson, and asked him to go home with me—he said he would if Mr. Moore would go with us; we went in to find Mr. Moore, who was at the bar; we three then came away together; as we were walking up Pine street, the first thing I perceived was a kick in the back, and a blow about the neck; I was knocked down, and fell on my left side, which sprained it. Duane came from the middle of the street, and struck me in the face, and muttered something about character; if he had attacked me before and like a man, I should not have complained even though he had flogged me, but he did it in a manner that I cannot call anything but cowardly.
Wm. Duane, Sworn. May it please the Court, so far as Mr. Scott has stated concerning the ward meeting, is true; but so far as concerns the attack, is false; the man has taken liberties with me; there are two opinions concerning me, which are ludicrous; some think me an Irishman; some an American; Mr. Scott is a member of the St. Patrick Society, and wrote to a distinguished character (whose name I will not prophane by mentioning it with his,) concerning me; to prejudice me; and some think I am an enemy to the Irish; but I am attached to them, and proud of my attachment; I am proud of an Irish heart, though I am a good American. I knew of what Mr. Scott had done, and had apprised him that I should prevent him. On the night of the meeting he took steps to affront me, I then determined to chastise him, because he is debased and degraded.
Court. Mr. Duane, we cannot suffer such language here.
Duane. I stand corrected. I never kicked him, I never raised a foot against him; but if ever again he
Court. Mr. Duane, [interrupting him.]
Duane. I took him by the collar; says I, you scoundrel what liberties have you been taking with me? and I declare, the first emotion I felt, after having struck him was regret that I had so debased myself.
Scott. On my oath he has asserted a
Court. We cannot have such language sir.
Mr. Attorney. I am sorry we are obliged to hear such improprieties—and I am sorry that Mr. Duane has set the example.
Scott. I never wrote to an influential character.
Mr. Alexander Moore, Sworn. On the night of the 18th May, I believe, a meeting was held at the Beehive tavern down Fourth-street—as I was walking with Mr. Henderson and Mr. Scott after the meeting, near the Pine-street grave yard, Mr. Duane came up, and said to me, "how dare you make free with my character," and struck him—I think only one stroke.
Duane. May I be permitted to ask a question—upon your oath, did I kick him, and did I raise my foot to strike him, while he was down?
Moore. I believe he did not strike him while down.
Court. Was there any thing passed between them at the meeting.
Moore. No nothing. Mr. Scott said those persons who did not belong to the ward should not be there—and I went out.
Duane. Did you ever hear of Scott's having taken an oath with my character?
Moore. Mr. Duane I am not called here I suppose to say whatever I have heard of you.
Court. Did you ever hear of Scott's having done so in Duane's presence?
Moore. No.
Duane. Did you ever hear of his having written a letter?
Moore. Mr. Duane I am not here to answer every thing.
Court. Did you ever hear of Mr. Scott's having written letters reflecting on Mr. Duane?
Moore. I believe Mr. Scott did write to the President about him. Mr. Duane if you have any more questions to ask I am ready to answer them as far as I know.
Mr. Wm. Henderson, Sworn. On the evening of the 18th of May, I think there was a meeting at Jonathan Carson's house—as I was coming from it with Mr. Scott and Mr. Moore, opposite to the Pine-street Meeting-house, Duane came up to us and says he, "Scott, what lies have you been reporting about me?" and struck him—I know nothing more.
Duane. Upon your oath did I kick him?
Henderson. No.
Duane. Do you think me capable of doing so?
Henderson. Why Mr. Duane I don't know.
The Prisoner was then fined by the Court TWELVE DOLLARS.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obdinate 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 forenses and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the 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 unparallelled in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  Stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Obdinate gleets,    Barrenness,  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 for 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 maketh 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 form obstructions or blockages in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence on the contrary, particular a excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and operate soft and mild purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description of the symptoms, of Worms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tereis or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—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 small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
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 MOTHER, 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 mercurius but upon close inspection quite repleat 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 which I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOTHER.

IN offering the Scheme as above, it has been the object of the Managers to raise the sum allowed by law on the smallest capital possible, keeping in view the propriety of making the risk as little as the nature of the case would admit, being fully of opinion that its success must depend more on the aid which a liberal public, ever ready to extend to the promotion of an useful and striking, than on any support to be derived from the adventurous speculator or needy gambler, were it on a plan more extensive, the prizes higher, and the risk greater. Here the adventurer will readily perceive, that while he is contributing only a small sum to be laid out in improving the roads, so that the produce of the country may be carried to market at any season, & at a moderate expence; his chance of gain is not unfavourable, there being less than 2 blanks to a prize and some of the Prizes not inconsiderable ones. This must be sufficient, when the object to be attained, as so extensively useful, and the cost so extremely small. The Commissioners flatter themselves that they will be aided by, at least all patriotic citizens, in accomplishing this useful object: and they confidently hope that the drawing may commenced at a period not very remote, of which however notice will be given in due time—The Prizes will be paid in Cash, subject to no discount, immediately after the completion of the drawing. Tickets may be had of the managers and from such other persons as they may hereafter authorise to dispose of them.
