Late Foreign Intelligence.  LONDON DATES TO THE 20th APRIL Our correspondents at New York transmitted us by private conveyance yesterday the Greenock Advertiser to the 24th April, received by the armed ship Pitt, from Greenock. From this paper we have extracted London accounts to the 20th of April, (five days later than heretofore received) and Greenock to the 24th. (Phil. Pap.)
LONDON, April 17. This days dispatches have been received at the India House, with the pleasing intelligence of another great, important, and decisive victory having been obtained by General Wellesley, and Colonel Stevenson, on the 29th November over the Berar Rajah, whose army is completely defeated, with very little loss on our side—no officer killed.
It was rumoured last night that dispatches had been received from Admiral Cornwallis, announcing that the Brest fleet had put to sea. We can assure our readers that there is no truth in this report. It is true indeed, that dispatches were yesterday received from that meritorious commander, but they only announced that no particular movement had taken place in the harbor of Brest, and that the fleet under his command was in a high state of health and spirits.
It is with infinite pleasure we refer our readers to the answer given by the minister last night in the House of Commons, to a question put to him by lord Morpeth, respecting the alleged correspondence of Mr. Drake with the abandoned French spy, Mahoe de la Touche. The opinion we have uniformly expressed on this subject is fully justified, by the unequivocal declaration of his majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the British government have neither directly nor indirectly, sanctioned any proceeding contrary to the usage of civilized states, or inconsistent with the laws of nations, so long established and recognized by the different powers of Europe.
It appears that Mr. Drake is not the only British Envoy whom the French in the fury of their inveterate hatred against this country, endeavoured to calumniate. The Gazette de France, of April 3, contains the following article, said to be dated from Carlsruhe.
"It is perhaps, not a matter of indifference to France to keep a perty watchful eye on Sir Spencer Smith, (we believe the gentleman alluded to is only Mr. Smith) the English Envoy at Stuttgart. This minister daily receives foreigners, who come from the banks of the Rhine, and again dispatches them into different countries. We are assured that he has very large sums at his disposal, with which he pays secret agents, whom he sends to travel, variously disguised along the banks of the Rhine, and who even pass that river in the night time to enter France, where these profligates can be employed only in hatching plots. The inhabitants of France will learn with pleasure, that the English ministers and their known agents, are looked upon with a very unfavorable eye by all honest men in Germany, and that they begin to shun their company."
Who that has seen the article we formerly gave from the French journals charging this country with sending to the Levant for pestiferous cotton to be thrown on the shores of France, to disseminate the plague that country, will in future be found credulous enough to listen to the French calumnies, against the British name and character?
The Captain of a Hamburg vessel which left Morlaix on Thursday last and arrived at Plymouth, on Saturday, states that before he sailed, a report prevailed there, supposed to have some foundation, of accounts having been received from Paris, of an insurrection there having taken place and that the mob much exasperated at the murder of the Duke d'Enghien, had seized and massacred Bonaparte. The Captain who is a respectable man, says, such was the report at Morlaix when he left it, and he gives it as he received it without vouching for its authenticity. We shall only add that it is hardly possible the report can be true. The news of such an event had it taken place, could have reached London by some more direct channel two or three days ago.
The journey of Madame Bonaparte, mother of the First Consul, to Rome at the present conjuncture, is a circumstance which may give rise to various conjectures especially as she was attended by a strong guard, and seemed in such haste that she would not stop to receive the congratulations of the public functionaries.
A letter from Rome in the Clef de Cabinet , of April first says, that "Madame Bonaparte mother of the princess Borghese, was soon expected in that city." The object of the old lady's journey may indeed be merely a visit to her daughter; but we recollect that at the commencement of the French revolution, the aunt of Louis XVI, when they observed the storm gathering, wisely withdrew in time and took up their abode in a country which was in a state of great tranquillity. By these means they escaped the melancholy fate which awaited many of their friends and relations. Madame Bonaparte may have thought it prudent to follow their example. Diamonds, and jewels are easily carried, and would no doubt be perfectly safe under a guard of hussars and gens d'armes.
This day a Hamburg Mail arrived, which has brought us some interesting articles of intelligence.
According to letters from Paris, an address has been presented to the first Consul, by the Conservative Senate, praying him not only to name his successor, but to take upon himself a higher title than he has yet assumed, and to make the same hereditary in his family. The title of King or Emperor, is what he is known to have long sighed for, and now it would appear an attempt is to be made to assume it.
The Gazette de France, of April 3, says "The public funds have risen since the day on which the Senate in a body presented an address to the First Consul, though the object of it is not exactly known."
On the projected elevation of the First Consul, we shall only observe with the Latin Poet;
Tollitur in altum ut lapsu gravior erit
Some of the letters by this conveyance state, that the preparations for invading this country are now in such a state of forwardness, that the attempt may be expected to be made in a very short time.
A letter from Hanover, dated April 5, states, that the Executive Commission has published a proclamation, forbidding the circulation of a book, called "Napoleon Bonaparte, and the French People under his Consulate," and even ordering it to be confiscated when found in the hands of private persons. The same work has also been prohibited at Frankfort and other places. It appears by private accounts that the case has been the same at Hamburg, in consequence of a letter from the French government signed by Talleyrand, which serves as a striking instance of the gross ignorance of the French respecting other countries. The letter of citizen T. requested the Senate to prohibit the sale of the book in the whole circle of Lower Saxony, over no part of which it can have the least authority, which is confined merely to its own very limited territory. But notwithstanding this prohibition, an English translation of the above work, by an English gentleman on the Continent, will, we understand, be soon published.
From the Hamburg Correspondenten of the 10th and 11th of April.
Paris, March 20.
The Senate, on the 28th, voted an Address to the First Consul, to entreat him, as it was reported, to take such measures with respect to the future immutability of the government, as may promote the general welfare. The First Consul came to Paris to receive this address, which the Senate carried up in a body. We are assured that the First Consul will, in consequence of the wish expressed by the Senate, assume a higher dignity, which will be made hereditary. The Senate has likewise, it is said, requested that a new National Court of Justice be formed for the trial of offences against the safety of the nation and its head. It will, however, only have jurisdiction in case of future crimes, and not with respect to the late conspiracy.
Such natives of France, in foreign countries, who wish to return, must now, it is said, be provided with a pass from the Grand Judge.
Several ships of the line are to be built at Antwerp this year.
April 2.
Vice Admiral Truguet, who was at Paris on Furlough, has received orders to repair immediately to Brest to take the command of the fleet there. All the accounts from the coasts give reason to believe that the expedition will sail in a very short time.
Moreau has at last confessed that he conversed with Georges three times. The latter appears to be very much incensed against Moreau. Pichegru will not, it is said, answer any further questions, alledging that he has given an account of everything that relates to himself personally, and that he has nothing more to add.
Amsterdam, April 13. Letters from Paris speak of some changes which, agreeably to the wishes of the nation, will be made for the benefit of France and public tranquillity. The first office of the State is to be converted into a higher hereditary dignity; Lucien and Joseph Bonaparte are to obtain new offices; a Chancellor of the Senate is to be appointed, &c. Time will shew how far these reports are well founded.
Hague, April 3.
Yesterday an artizan named Dumolien was brought here having been arrested at the request of the French. He had lately arrived from London, and was implicated in the late conspiracy. He was guarded by a French escort, and lodged in the prison Poort, where he has already been examined by the Batavian Fiscal. A list of suspected persons has been transmitted to our government from Paris.
General Marmont returned hither from North Holland on the 1st instant, and immediately had some conferences with the Marine Council. To day he will return to the head quarters at Utrecht: in the vicinity of which, at Zeist, the troops will be assembled, which are destined for the expedition.
The vessels of the Flushing flotilla, which had arrived at Dunkirk, have proceeded to Ostend through the canals of Belgium.
The maintenance of the French troops in our Republic, according to the public journals, cost now annually seven millions and a half of Florins, besides extraordinary expences.
Dusseldorf, March 31.
According to authentic intelligence, the report in the public prints, the Wesel is ordered to be provisioned for 12 months is quite false. On the other hand, it is certain that all the absentees from the Prussian regiments in Westphalia are recalled. It is also reported that 36,000 Prussian, Brunswick and Hessian troops will form a camp at Lippstadt, and a cordon on the frontiers. A large quantity of oxen is buying up at Batavia, for French account.
Vienna, March 31.
On the 28th inst. the French Ambassador, Champagny, received important dispatches by a courier from Paris, and the next day had a conference on the subject of them with the minister of State, Count Cobenzel.
Yesterday it was reported that two French emigrants of distinction had been arrested; but that is not confirmed. We are, however, assured that several French emigrants must leave the Austrian states.
It is understood that a negotiation is carrying on between our court and the Swiss government, relative to a new project for settling boundaries, and an exchange of territory. According to this project, the Rhine will form a national boundary; the town of Constance will be allotted to Switzerland, and Shaffhausen to Austria.
Stuttgart, April 2.
A new general rescript relative to the residence of the French emigrants in the Electoral States has just been published here, of which the following is the purport:
"In consequence of the renewed ordinances and regulations lately adopted in the electorate of Baden, with respect to the French emigrants, there is reason to fear that many of them, on being obliged to leave that territory, will take up their residence in our states, we hereby strictly command, that all the ordinances relative to the said emigrants be carried into full effect; that they be observed with a vigilant eye; and except provided with an unexceptionable legitimisation, be not suffered to remain in our territory longer than twenty-four hours, and this only in towns situated on the great post-roads, as they are on no account to be received into any other. Such is our will, &c."

Massachusetts Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
JUNE 14.
ELECTORS.
The resolve prescribing the mode of choosing Electors was received from the Senate, and passed—Yeas 125, Nays 106. Mr. Morton then offered a protest signed by himself and several other gentlemen of the minority, against the resolution, which he moved should be entered on the Journals of the House. The speaker observed that as the protest impeached the motives of the majority he should not put the mo,

on unless he was directed to by the house. Messrs. Bigelow, Ashmun, Whitman, Ely, and Whitwell spoke in a spirited manner against the protest. The question being taken "whether the Speaker should put the motion of Mr. Morton," it was determined in the negative—Yeas 53, Nays 172.
NEW-YORK, June 20.
We are informed that dispatches have been sent on to government respecting the conduct of the British officers towards the Pitt, fr. Greenock, accompanied by the protest of the Health and revenue officers of the port; as also by affidavits proving the disrespectful and contemptuous terms in which the government of the United States is laws and officers were spoken of at the time. The pilots it is said were ordered from on board the British vessels: writs issued against their commanders to be served should they be found on shore; and an order given by the mayor to captain Campbell of the Pitt, on captain Bradley of the Cambrian, to deliver up the men impressed. In the mean time, we are informed that the Pitt cannot be suffered to enter at the custom house, till these matters are adjusted.
The British ship Leander of 50 guns is rumored to be in the sound. The Lilly sloop of war is hourly expected, having been seen by captain Montgomery of the Huns-
It is said that the French frigates claimed the privilege of 24 hours start, and that the Mayor applied to Col. Barclay, the British consul, on the subject, who declined any interference. The captains of the Cambrian and Driver, their pilots having left them, got under way themselves and beat down through the narrows. Whether this was done to avoid any consequences that might result from the affair of the Pitt, or with a view to wait for the French frigates is not precisely ascertained.
The French Frigates have come up to Governors Island. And rumour adds, but without satisfactory authority, that Jerome Bonaparte has left this place by private conveyance on board some merchantman, within the last two or three days.
It is said that his individual opinion was in favor of going at all events in one of the frigates, and taking the chance of combat if pursued. It is added that his youthful bride was decidedly of that sentiment.

On Monday last the American Company of Bookellers commenced their Fourth Annual Meeting in this city, and made choice of the following officers for the ensuing year:
Mathew Carey, President. Isaac Collins, Vice President, Thomas S. Arden, Secretary.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22.
Examining more attentively our French Papers, per the Orion, we find some interesting particulars relative to the disturbances in Switzerland. We have made some Translations on this subject for this day's paper, as follows:
ZURICH, March 23.
Scarcely had the commotion, occasioned by the address of the towns of Andelfingen, Ossingen, &c. against the taking of tithes and quit rents been settled, when another disturbance more alarming broke out in the towns of Waedenschwil, Richlerschwil, Schenenberg, and Hutten. The 16th inst. fixed on in those places, for taking the oath of fidelity to Switzerland, the canton and the constituted authorities. A very numerous assemblage of the citizens of those towns, took place at the appointed time, at the church of Waedenschwil. The Councillors Usteri and Herzel, representatives of government, having opened the meeting by a suitable address, and the form of the oath being read, a very violent tumult immediately ensued, and in which loud and reiterated cries of 'No—, we will not take that oath, we will swear by the act of mediation; the Constitution of '98, give us the liberty purchased by Tell and Winkelred—Liberty, Equality' were heard from different parts of the Church. All the efforts that were made to restore order and tranquility were ineffectual and at length the deputies were obliged to retire from the meeting.
Government have ordered out troops to quell this disturbance and bring the rebels to obedience.
BERNE, March 23.
The insurrection that has broken out in the communes on the western bank on the lake of Zurich, has extended itself to the other bank and assumed a still more serious aspect. The deputies sent to Meilen, and Steiffen, to administer the oath of fidelity to government, have been insulted and ill-treated. It is said that the same is
and spreading to the neighbouring communes.
The Landamman, from whom the government of Zurich, has demanded succor has ordered the troops furnished by the five cantons to march, and intends to use the most energetic measures against the revolted communes. The insurrection is attributed to the machinations and intrigues of strangers, and especially to some of the brigands belonging to Georges, who had escaped from France into Switzerland.
March 29.
The insurgents of the village of Waedenschwil and Gorgen, put themselves in a state of effective defence, & as a preparatory measure, have burned the castle of Waedenschwil. A courier has just arrived, who informs, that one of the divisions of the confederate army has attacked in three points this association of rebels, and that they have routed them after a feeble resistance; one column entered the village of Gorgen the 28th and another pursued the fugitives in the vallies and on the heights.

The following article appeared in a N. York paper of the 21 instant:
"It is understood that a fort of Challenge has been indirectly offered on the part of the British frigates Cambrian and Boston, to the French frigates Cybele and Didon, inviting them to quit the harbor and offering to guarantee that no other vessels shall interfere in the combat.
"The Cambrian is termed one of the finest frigates in the British navy: rated at 44 guns but supposed to carry above 50. The Boston is the same vessel that encountered the Ambuscade off this port a few years since: she is an excellent vessel, rated at 32 guns, but supposed to carry at least 40.
"The Cybele and Didon are both of 44 guns, but supposed to carry also a greater number. The Didon in particular is ranked among the finest frigates in existence. Whether the challenge has been formally given, or will be probably accepted, we have not heard."
Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, received at New-York, by the ship Pitt, from Greenock.
"We have been in great fear, for some months past, of an invasion by the French, but have now got accustomed to the idea, so that our terror is wearing off. Edinburgh has been crowded with soldiers during the winter, and we expect a camp will be formed, the ensuing summer, in Bruntsfield Links, (a common in the vicinity of the city.) This will be a gay thing—attended with much expense; but perhaps necessary for our security.
"Every sort of preparation has been made to give the French a warm reception should they attempt invasion. The country was never in a better state of defence: almost every man is a soldier. We had lately two mock-fights, one at Craigmuill, and one at Leith. The Leith volunteers, aided by a regiment of regulars defended the town; two other regiments with the yeomanry attacked: the Leith volunteers, according to previous arrangement, repulsed the assailants. The whole appeared to be conducted in a masterly manner."
In the legislature of Massachusetts, on Friday, June 15th, the order of the day, on the motion of Mr. Ely, for an amendment of the Constitution, [see a copy of the motion in our last paper] was taken up, when after an animated debate, which continued beyond the usual hour of adjournment, it was moved that the further consideration of the subject be postponed until the next session of the General Court: the question to postpone was put, and negatived, Yeas 92—Nays 111. The question on the Resolution was then taken, and passed, for it 104, against it 53, & Messrs. Bigelow, Ely and Wade, were appointed to report a Resolution on the subject.
On the day following, after the two Houses had separated, and the Speaker resumed the chair, Mr. Bigelow, as Chairman of the Committee, appointed to bring in a Bill on the subject of Mr. Ely's motion, for amending the Constitution, reported a resolution to that effect, which being read by the Speaker, Mr. Morton begged leave, before the question of pas-
sing the Resolve was put, to offer the following amendment, viz.
"Provided, however, that the ratio of direct taxes shall not be increased to any of the States, not holding Slaves, by such amendment." This motion, after a few observations from the mover, and Messrs. Bigelow and Ely, was taken and lost; when the final question was put and carried—Yeas 89, Nays 63.
A Dublin paper of April 19, mentions the receipt of news by an arrival from the continent, stating, that the court of Denmark, had taken much offence at the conduct of the French, who had reinforced their army on the north bank of the Elbe, were still transporting immense quantities of ammunition to the Duchy of Lauenburg, and had formed magazines of powder in the neighbourhood of Altona and Hamburg. In consequence of these latter measures the magazine within the Danish territory, near Altona, had been seized, and the Danish troops on the frontiers of Lubeck and Lauenburg, had been ordered to resist any territorial violation or encroachment. The Danish militia ready to take the field is stated at 100,000.
A London paper of April 18, says, our readers may have remarked, that no answer appears to have been returned by the Swedish Ambassador to M. Talleyrand's letter transmitting the correspondence attributed to Mr. Drake. We have reason to believe, from a circumstance which we shall state presently, that the Swedish Government will not authorise its Ambassador at Paris, to imitate the conduct of most of the other Ambassadors in that capital.
The King of Sweden was at Baden when the Duke D'Enghien was kidnapped: he was on a visit to his father-in-law the Elector of Baden. At the violation of the independence and territory of the Electorate by French troops and at the seizure of the unfortunate prince, he expressed great indignation, and immediately sent over to his Ambassador here, Baron de Silverhjelm, a protest couched in very strong and manly terms, against that infamous and barbarous transaction.
The Swedish Ambassador has received directions to deliver copies of it to all foreign Ambassadors at the Court of London, and we hope to be able to lay it before our readers to-morrow or next day. We understand that it is of considerable length. This protest does the greatest honor to his Swedish Majesty.
A FRAGMENT.
***** So Rachel and I sat down on the bank; and wherefore said I hast thou gathered that bunch of rosemary?
Alas! said she it is to strew on William's grave—I sat there last night, and I thought his hand came through the turf; that hand which has so often grasped mine—but I could not touch it:—perhaps it was the sickly dream of my fancy, which is some times strangely disordered.
And what my child has brought this misfortune upon thee?
That sheep said she which now crops the herb at my feet, was then a lamb; I had taken it from the ewe, and it followed me wherever I went. William loved the lamb, for he loved me, and every thing that was mine. We were walking together by the river the lamb fell into the stream. William plunged into the water to save him; but the lamb got some how to the bank—and William was carried by the eddy to the mill: the horrid wheel crushed him as he passed and he spoke no more: but I could not even chide the lamb, for it licked his hand as he lay dead on the grass.
As Rachel spoke I felt a tear upon my cheek; she saw it, and taking a handkerchief from her pocket gently wiped it away.
Ah, continued she, strangers weep for me, and I cannot weep for myself—the gush of sorrow would relieve me; but heaven has locked up the source of my tears, though my heart is thirsty and would be refreshed by them.
And how do you employ your time, my fair Rachel? you might surely amuse your sadness by the occupations of your past life, whatever they might have been.
My friends, sir, said she, are very good to me: they have done every thing in their power to soothe my sorrow; but finding that their efforts have been vain, they now leave me to myself, to wander about with my sheep, who never forsakes me. The villagers all know, and seem to respect my misery. They are all kind and molest me not. Sometimes, indeed, I spin a little flax at the wheel; and sometimes I fetch the kine from the moor, and that is all.—But if I stay William's grave will want its offering, and I must not omit the dues I shall daily pay it, till heaven shall please to make it my own.
So Rachel walked gently away: and I sat still on the bank. *****
On Tuesday last the Boston Humane Society celebrated the anniversary of their institution. After the election of officers, and other business of the anniversary, the Society went in procession to the chapel Church; where after prayers, by the Rev. Mr. Gray, a scientific discourse, embracing the great objects of the Society, was pronounced by Dr. John C. Howard; and the following original ode, written by R. T. Paine, jun. Esq. was sung in an admirable style by Mrs. Jones.
"SPIRIT OF THE VITAL FLAME!"
AIR—ADAGIO.
O'er the swift flowing Stream, as the Tree brake in air, Plung'd a Youth in the tyrannous wave; No ear heard his shriek—taint with toil and despair, He sunk, and was whelm'd in his grave!
RECITATIVO.
See Humanity's angel alight on the scene! Tho' the Shadows of Death have diffused o'er his mien; See his corse is redeemed from the Green's icy bed, And a Mother's wild grief thicks "alas! he is dead!"
AIR—LARGO MAESTOSO.
Spirit of the Vital Flame! Touch with life his marble frame! From the Day He k's radiant eye, Being thy touch of quickening fire, And on a mother's hope re-spire!
ALLEGRO.
Hither, sparkling cherub fly! Mercy's hand, cleave the sky! To human prayer benignant hear The silent spring of life's given? And Science, while her eye explores What power the dormant nerve restores, Survey's the godhead and adores; And him, the first of glory's clan, Proclaims who shoves a fellow man!
MAESTOSO.
Spirit of the vital flame! Touch again his marble frame! Bid the quivering nerve recur, Till the kindling eye discern A Mother's tears with rapture burn!
ALLEGRO ASSA.
Behold, the quickening Spirit came The trembling limb, the wandering gaze! Instinct listens! Memory wakes; Thought from cold extinction breaks; Reason, motion, frenzy, fear, Religion's triumph, Nature's fear, Almighty Power, thy hand is here!
The collection for the Society's funds was handsome.

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 forcible 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 Healy, 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 inconsiderations—reference in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the too moderate 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 lymph in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Consumption, Indigestion,  Towns 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 weaknesse, Obsolete gleet,  Fluor albus, (or whites) Impotency, &c. &c.  Rheumatism, 
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 Elixir 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 living 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 foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of familiar title, to commonly complained of as operating with violence on the contrary, particular excellence of this remedy is its being fitted 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. It does not worm out 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 corruption; feverish and bilious complaints, and are a mild and gentle purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description and the symptoms, of Worms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Pecs or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbita, or flat, 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—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, 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 thin 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 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 fur upon close inspection quit repeated 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 inuist position both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.

SCHEME of a LOTTERY.

12000 Tickets at 3 Dollars, 36,000
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 would depend more on the aid which a liberal public, ever ready to extend to the promotion of an useful undertaking, 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 expense; 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.
