FROM THE [Bost.] REPERTORY.
Democracy does every thing by the people and nothing for them. Demagogues are despots, and as such are liable to be dethroned by violence. The people are slaves, labelled over with the titles of sovereignty, governed not by force, but by whim, prejudice and passion. Nothing is easier than to excite popular sympathies and passions, nothing so difficult to control, nothing so cruel, unjust or violent. We are fast approaching the evils of such a state, and the nearer we come the more insensible we grow. Dangers, that once would have armed us are grown familiar; and we drive from our thoughts what upbraids our negligence. The frequent violation of known principles has already more than half fitted us for the scourge of practical democracy; for when that spirit, which kindles at the first attempt to rob us of our rights, loses its tone, nothing but the form, the mere ceremony of slipping on the collar and snapping the lock remains to be done. At this time Mr. Jefferson himself is nothing less than the head of a democratic club, and the constitution little more than its resolutions. His administration is as much at war with the very principle of all free governments, as his private life is with the rules of virtue, if the constitution is to be the test in one case, and the bible the other.
The system of turning men out of office for a difference of opinion was begun by Mr. Jefferson, and he alone is answerable for its consequences. The mischief of this systematic operation is incalculable and incurable. I might here dwell upon the abusive and unconstitutional practice of creating vacancies to fill them; upon the injustice done to individuals, their merits and services, and upon the characters of those who fill their places; but this is not so much to my purpose as to show the hostility of the present administration to any form of free government. Upon this plan the President of the United States puts himself necessarily at the head of a faction, composed of all those who expect favor or reward. His personal character is the only question of moment to those who are patriots by trade. Their business is to study his weakness, to minister to his vices, and to forward his plans of ambition. They well know the only condition upon which he will give, and they can receive, and as all depends upon their success, they will be zealous. Is he vain? Is he a trifler in science? Is he studious of literary fame? Authors from Castle William dedicate their books to him, and are noticed with kindness. All the grubs and insects of natural history rise on new wings, and buzz their applause in his ear. New species in all the kingdoms of nature, are discovered for his amusement. Does he cheat his neighbour with dexterity? let Gabriel Jones answer. This is a precious fact to rogues; they eventually become his friends upon principle. Does he wish to destroy the fame of a rival? The pillory and the jail are robbed to furnish men for the work. Old offenders who would not flinch even when a Washington was pointed out for their object, fugitives from justice, the outcasts of society, and the disgrace of it, must constitute the pretorian band in revolutionary times. They will be loyal to the man, who will protect and reward them; and the natural enemy of the government that has strength enough to execute its laws. If such a man is President what have they to fear? If such a man is not President what have they not to fear? Well may such men call an honest administration the reign of terror; I always thought there was great propriety in the application. Is he a Joseph Surface in morals? Why should not ----- and ----- and ----- be his friends.
This system applies itself to all the weakness the passions, and vices of the human nature. To some it comes in the shape of a bride. A man is in office, or wants one, who has professed sentiments opposed to those who can give and take away his bread at pleasure. Though a moderate man, he begins to think he has been too violent, and that men may mean well though they act wrong. By degrees, black begins to whiten; "we are all federalists all republicans"—the man is gone, he is fixed in petty.
Vanity and petty ambition make dupes faster than a Jefferson can find offices. It is the curse of our country that flattery has made politicians out of nothing.
The tale of our virtue and knowledge, of our fitness for Republican institutions has been so long repeated that every man, who does not believe that we are a people without passions, vice or ignorance, an exception to the experience of all other governments is considered as an enemy to liberty.
Our health is so bad, that nothing but poison will sustain it. It is such corrupt and corrupting language, that makes Democratic orators by profession, who understand every thing by instinct, who defy all refutation, and confound all sense. Yet such men are all powerful. They work among their equals with effect. They form the primary assemblies of corruption, and display all the passions and vices than can govern the nation. The Post-Office of the village will satisfy the ambition of these zealots. But there is a class of men of larger views, who have some talents and influence, who are goaded on by a sense of scorn, and the hope of great rewards, to make great efforts. They have little regard to the man they support; they would desert him with triumph and leave him to perish with infamy, to join one more popular and successful. They study his character as they would learn the use of an instrument, they look to office as the means of plunder or revenge.
Such are the men, who will necessarily collect about such a man as Mr. Jefferson; and in popular governments, Jeffersons will always be found. If then it becomes the practice to give offices to partisans and parasites only, the election of a President will form the pivot, upon which every thing will turn. It will be felt in every corner of the country, and give new life and new directions to the great mass of corruption in it, till elections are no longer needed. PUBLIUS LENTULUS.
From the Frederick-Town Herald.
Retrospect —As the flight of Mr. Jefferson during the war is generally questioned by his party, whenever the approach of an election causes his merits to be more particularly canvassed, it has been suggested that we ought once for all to enter fully into a proof of that matter. At present however, we do not consider it so important; though it is not unlikely but at some convenient time we shall go to the pains of preparing ourselves completely on that subject—We should be glad, however, first to see in what way his partisans undertake to defend or acquit him, and in what way they answer the testimony against him, which has already been submitted to the public. For any thing we have heard or seen, we should have a right to take the fact for granted; though even if that were not the case we apprehend there are objections enough repeatedly established, and in part admitted to the conduct of Mr. Jefferson since he has been president, and to the doings of his friends, which should turn from him every man in the community who is a sincere seeker of the truth. For ourselves we have been almost tired out, in collecting and recounting over and over again all the evidences of guilt and unworthiness in the now ruling faction: And we have seen so little effect produced even by conviction itself, and such an unwillingness to be convinced, that it appears almost useless to repeat what has already been so often urged. However, as at this moment, when the annual elections in our state are at hand, it may be wished by our friends in some of the counties, that even the faithful should be reminded of the leading causes why, so long as they continue honest and informed, they must continue opposed to the Jeffersonian system, we shall now merely single out some of the principal wrongs which have been done under that system—To make out a full list would require at least a full volume.
The reign of Mr. Jefferson began by professions of "equal and exact justice to all men" and of abhorrence to every thing like political persecution. It has proceeded in the dismissal from almost every office worth the having of men of long tried integrity and patriotism on the avowed and sole reason that they were federalists. The war-worn veteran has not escaped; nor the venerable Putnam the only instance in which the faithful follower of Washington in the battles of the revolution, has been turned aloof, for since following Washington's principles and those he "cordially approved of."
Under this reign the revilers of Washington have been especially countenanced and favoured—Tom Paine, the infidel too, was invited here—Callender's fine was remitted unconstitutionally—and Duane has pocketed his thousands of dollars a year.
In the place of good men turned out, the worst men have been put in, turbulent and designing foreigners, persons such as Albert Gallatin, the Secretary of the Treasury, whose tongue even breaks out language, as in the whiskey insurrection of '94 he helped to break our laws.
Mr. Jefferson said some of our taxes could be spared. We find the taxes on certain luxuries, such as carriages and loaf sugar taken off. The duties on necessaries,
such as salt, brown sugar and coffee still remain.
Fifteen millions of debt have been imposed upon us for the purchase of Louisiana, and a new impost duty of two and a half per cent. Except Salt Mountains, horned frogs and naval backed hogs, we yet see no advantage from the purchase, and we do see that the Louisianians are already in open rebellion. We see too, that they are led on by a certain Edward Livingston, late Mr. Jefferson's district attorney for New-York, where for public monies used in his hands, the public have got a judgment against him for one hundred thousand dollars.
The constitution has been broken in innumerable cases, particularly in the case of the judiciary, who are more and more reduced to a state of slavish dependence on the President and his Congress—To complete the whole, the forms of impeachment are made use of, to ruin the venerable judge Chase, for the crime of federalism who has been all his life in the service of his country.
Public monies have been wasted or misapplied, in the useless change of ambassadors, in Dawson's unnecessary trip to France, in the unwarranted expence of repairing a French privateer, in the sale of the bank stock, &c. &c. and public monies have been voted away in silence or in secret sittings with doors closed against public observation.
Salaries for the great officers of the government, which the party said were too high in federal times, have been fixed higher than they would have been under the terms of the federal law.
The best establishments in the country have been violated or destroyed. Our navy has not been spared. At this moment our helpless commerce is insulted and plundered with impunity. The nation is degraded abroad, and weak, distracted, and mean at home.
Of such truths as these there is no end; if the few we have mentioned are not sufficient to disgust any people with Jefferson's administration, hypocritical as it is foolish and wicked, nothing can have that effect, nor would they believe "tho' one rose from the dead."
If we in Maryland turn from the view of the general government to that of the state, what do we find to console us? nothing but the same sort of vice acting on a lower scale—Of this there is scarcely a country in which every citizen has not full proof before his eyes—Each need only look to the way in which their own little local affairs are managed, and behold what manner of men are every where appointed to rule over us.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, August 4.
On the 20th ult. M. D'Oubail, the Russian Charge des Affaires in France, had received a courier with dispatches, which require an immediate answer; he therefore went directly to the office of the Foreign Department, where he was informed by M. Cailiar, its Chief ad interim , that the Emperor being, on the coast, and Talleyrand at the waters of Bourbon d'Archambeau, until further orders from the Emperor, the communications could not be answered; though they would be received and forwarded to his Majesty, whose determination should be sent to M. D'Oubail as soon as obtained. It will be seen that the absence of Bonaparte and his Minister, at the moment when a courier from St. Petersburg was expected, with the Emperor's Ultimatum, is merely a political trick to gain time, as, should the month of August pass in temporizing, and without any open rupture with Russia, the season will be too far advanced for the Russian naval and military forces to co-operate with England this year at least upon a large scale, and, during the winter, changes may occur of which the Corsican Usurper will take advantage, either to embroil his opposers, or to bring about a pacification with them.
INTELLIGENCE FROM PARIS.
From the 12th to the 27th July, 1804.
The house of her majesty the Empress it is said, is almost completed. Madame de la Rochefoucault is appointed her Lady of Honor; Madame Lavalet, her Dressing Lady; and Mesdames les Marechales, Lasnes, and Ney, & Mesdames de Vaudre, d'Arberry, Savini, and Duchedel, were appointed Ladies of the Palace.
The Emperor has appointed Vice-Admiral Latouche, Colonel-General Inspector of the coasts of the Mediterranean.

Cardinal Fesch is appointed Grand Almoner to the Emperor, his nephew. Each of their Imperial Highnesses, the Princesses, sisters to the Emperor, is to have her private establishment and household, consisting of a Court-Martial, one Master of the Horse, one prefect of the two Palaces, one master of the Ceremonies, one Chamberlains, two Ladies in Waiting, four Maids of Honor, six Ecuyres, eight Pages, four Chamber Maids, six Valets de Chambre, six Coachmen, and ten Grooms and Postillions, not including valets, Butchers, Cooks, Footmen, Jockies, Cup-Bearers, etc. The expence of the whole is taken on his Majesty the Emperor's private purse, and no person can obtain any appointment without being previously approved of by his Majesty the Emperor, whose commission they will receive. The dress of the Emperor at his coronation, is to be white, covered with a rich embroidered purple mantle. His golden crown will be surrounded with laurels, oak and oak branches, emblematical of victory, peace, and civic virtues.
Imperial Sword —A Swedish armorer has lately presented to his Imperial majesty Napoleon a sword at which he has worked for these four years. The following is the description of it. The handle of the sword represents the head of an Arabian Horse, with busts of Mercury and Mars. Upon the branch of the guard, appears the Goddess of recompence, surrounded by heroes all crowned with laurel wreath which she shows to six other heroes, that they may merit it. The blade of the most exquisite beauty and workmanship, damasked and inscribed with an inscription in gold letters. Arabic characters, bears these words: Thou wilt conquer thy enemies, and wilt have pity on the nations of peace. On the other side of the blade, justice crowned with glory.
The upper ornament of the scabbard is set in fine pearl, fished in the river of Eura-Amine in Finland. The upper ornament represents the Goddess Pallas, seated and leaning against a column upon which is seen the inscription R. P. F. besides the column are the victorious banners of the Republic. The Goddess is holding in her right hand a buckler, with the bust of Bonaparte; and at her feet is couched a lion.
The second ornament represents Bonaparte, on horseback, surrounded by aids-de-camp uncovered, because they are speaking to Bonaparte. Upon the ornament, in the middle of the scabbard, Bonaparte is seen mounted upon Neptune's car, and happily arriving from Egypt to save France. The upper part of the scabbard represents Bonaparte mounted upon Mercury's car, drawn by four horses, and hastening to join the army.
The second part represents the army which ceases to retreat at the arrival of Bonaparte. The third part represents the battle of Marengo. Bonaparte here appears on horseback, in the midst of the battle. Upon the fourth part of the battle continues, and terminates with a victory. The fifth part represents a delicious garden, in the middle of which the hero is seen reposing upon the bosom of the nation, which unknown to him, places a crown of laurel upon his head.
Upon the sixth part the hero is seen going out of his tent under the figure of Alexander: the Amazons throw themselves at his feet, begging for peace. Upon the same piece are seen Hercules and Mars giving each other their hands in token of reconciliation; they are trampling upon discord. Upon the right side of the upper ornament are seen different trophies of war. The right side of the scabbard represents part of the towns and fortresses conquered by Bonaparte.
The lower part of the scabbard represents the preparations for a descent, guns, boats, anchors, cables, masts, sails, &c. (Paris paper.)
FROM RATISBON, July 13. This day in the Diet, the Imperial Royal Comital Envoys made the following declaration on which no observations were made by the directory of the Empire.
Verbal declaration of the Imperial and Royal Legation at the Diet in Circulo: The imperial and Royal Legation has in commission to signify, that his imperial Majesty participates, at all times, in the confidence which his electoral Highness of Baden entertains in the friendly sentiments of France towards the German Empire; and on this confidence was founded the
hopes of his Majesty, that as the incidents at Ettenheim and Offenburg were of that nature, on which the most friendly and greatest powers have never omitted to enter into satisfactory explanations, the French Court would receive, in an amicable manner, and be desirous to comply with the request of the empire, for a friendly explanation.
"As his Majesty, therefore, in his natural view of the subject, cannot apprehend that the measure proposed, instead of procuring the satisfaction desired, should produce any new disagreeable consequences, he cannot but be of opinion, that the proposed deliberations of the Diet should be proceeded to. The Legation, therefore, has it in commission, if the other Comital Legations should receive instructions, to proceed to the opening of this deliberation, and to give their votes suitable to their declarations of the 14th May."
CHARLESTON, Sept. 17. Captain Franklin, who arrived on Sunday from St. Augustine, informs, that the gale was very severe at that place—the tide rose to an uncommon height—of nine vessels there were in the harbour, one only (the schooner St. Trinidad) rode out the storm—some of those that went on shore, however, had been got off, and it was expected that most of them would be saved. The town had received no very serious damage.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28.
Capt. Wilson, of the ship Bellona, arrived at New-York, informs, that Generals Moreau and his lady were at Barcelona on the 27th July, and applied to him for a passage; but he was under the necessity of declining their offer, the cabin of the vessel not being sufficiently convenient for their accommodation. On the 10th Aug. whilst at Gibraltar, capt. Wilson was informed that these illustrious characters had reached Cadiz, from whence they would embark for the United States.
As it appears that violent bilious Fevers prevail in many parts of the country, the following successful mode of treating Diseases of that nature, seems, at this season, to be particularly worthy of attention. (Phila. Amer. D. Adv.)
"A long and numerous series of proofs of the excellency of large doses of Gum Arabic in such diarrheas and vomitings as are caused or protracted by acid matter in the intestines or stomach led me to conceive that this medicine might be very useful in that dreadful vomiting which usually attends the American Yellow Fever. I mentioned this my opinion, being in company with some medical men, amongst whom was Dr. Marshall, physician extraordinary to his Sicilian Majesty, who had not long ago been employed in the medical department of the British Army. He said that he had been witness of three cases in which accident had proved the justness of my supposition; for whilst he was at Gibraltar they had had thirteen patients in this fever the ten first of whom died. To the eleventh was given, by mistake, a very large quantity of mucilage of Gum Arabic, which proving of great benefit was designed continued, and the same medicine was equally administered to the twelfth and thirteenth patient. All these three, who took the Gum, recovered."
"In diseases of a lower order I have frequently given Gum Arabic as far as six ounces a day, and am persuaded that this dose may on occasions be doubled, or quadrupled. I am, from what I have read & heard, very much inclined to believe this Gum might very usefully be given in the Black Vomit acidulated with Vitriolic Acid; which is a form I frequently adopt in spitting of blood, and in hemorrhages from the intestinal canal."
"My patients consume annually upwards of a quintal of this Gum, and have continually done so for some years past. If this communication should be of any use to humanity, I shall feel the highest satisfaction."
"WILLIAM BATT, M. D. Genoa, the 7th Nov. 1804."
LIFE OF WASHINGTON. AFTER an interval of some weeks, the public have been favoured by the appearance of the second volume of this interesting work. Gibbon says it is the peculiar advantage of English literature, that the
fame of a book read with approbation in London, immediately spreads to the shores of the Delaware and the Ganges. Of the work coming from the pen of Mr. Marshall we may say, it will immediately have its readers from the lakes to St. Mary's, from the woods to the ocean. What can be so interesting to Americans as the eventual history of their own empire, the recorded patriots. In the pages of Mr. Marshall the aged sire calls up the animating remembrance of his early toils. The young are told who were their benefactors, receive in full system, what they had caught as traditional fragments, and listen with an enthusiasm to the story that recounts the glory of their fathers.
After a judicious introduction, presenting, under one view, the original settlement and early progress of the different colonies, Mr. Marshall has opened the first chapter of his second volume with an account of the birth of the illustrious subject of his work. In this chapter most readers are presented with a new, and all, with an interesting scene. They are introduced to Washington at a time of life when character is unfolding. They see him a youthful soldier, constant, intrepid and aspiring and aiming at distinction and thirsting for glory. They see him, in posts of inferior military command, the faithful and zealous executor of every trust, displaying, in the onset of his military career, a skill and valour that drew admiration from the experienced and disciplined captains of a martial people. The narrative of this chapter is successfully conducted, and attains the first purpose of every narrative, that of leaving upon the mind a distinct and lively impression of its subject.
The second Chapter gives a full account of the causes of the difference between the colonies and the mother country. The great question of the right of Britain to tax her remote subjects is here viewed in every light. To this chapter the American reader, in a distant generation, will resort as the voucher of the rectitude and patriotism of his ancestors. He will see in it a sense of justice that perceived wrong, and a high minded spirit that stood forth to resist it. In scenes of political collision he will be reminded that the birth of his country was in virtuous jealousy and honorable pride, and will hesitate how he ever consents to a recall of those pledges of national security and independence. The remainder of the book comprises a history of the military operations of the revolution, from the winter of '76 and '77. Of this edition into Canada, a vivid narrative is given. To have been a spectator of the conflict at Quebec could alone have given a more distinct idea of it than Mr. Marshall's recital. The official letters of General Washington are copiously spread throughout the work, and taken in connexion with existing events, shew in impressive lights, the quick sighted and pervading apprehension of an able chief. It will be the praise of Mr. Marshall's work that it contains so minute an account of the war. It is properly observed, that history is biography. Roscoe's life of Lorenzo of Medici is a history of the learning and arts of a modern age of Italy.
The life of Alexander embraces a history of the overthrow of the Grecian states, and the biographer of Cæsar must shew us the characters of Brutus and of Anthony. Dr. Ramsay's history is faithful and interesting; but Mr. Marshall's will, in all probability, become the standard authority upon subjects connected with the American revolution. The latter draws full pictures of what the former gives general outlines and only faint sketches.
Of the style of the book before us, it may be confidently said the general result is favorable. Its principal characteristics are, perspicuity and ease; without high ornament or periods very glowing. It is so elevated that it will adorn the library of the man of letters, and yet so familiar, that most of its chapters may delight the evening leisure of the mechanic or the husbandman. The writings of some of the historians of our language make the taste for style somewhat luxurious. In the life of Washington there is now and then an embarrassed sentence, and, in a few instances, diction somewhat loose. A nice ear is sometimes offended by the repetition of particular modes of expression, and does not always find the harmony it could wish. But, whoever is disposed to exert verbal criticism upon this work, should keep in mind the peculiar circumstances under which it has been written; he should recollect that the second volume has extended to near six hundred octavo pages, and should be told, that this volume is to be followed by three more of equal bulk. Mr. Marshall has shewn himself a sufficient master of style to assure his readers, that when, unperplexed by "the pressing hour
of publication" he shall review his composition for another impression, a task which at a future day must be imposed on him, its inaccuracies will disappear. His pages form a body, the solidity of which qualifies it to take any polish.
The author's narrative has been suspended at an interesting crisis of the revolution, and when the fame of his hero was beaming with particular lustre. The reader waits with anxiety for the continuation. (Phila. Reg.)
The consideration manifested by the Government of Spain for the interests of its merchants, affords an example which we trust will not be lost on the government of the United States.
If the King of Spain, who, comparatively speaking, confesses neither obligation nor responsibility to his subjects, can, under the simple impression of justice, refuse his assent to a national instrument (however hazardous the refusal may be) until its purport shall be fully known and understood by all his subjects, who may be affected by its provisions, and with an excess view to protect their interests; how indispensably does it become the duty of the Government of the United States to maintain and to enforce the rights of their merchants, from whose capital, industry, and enterprise, every thing of the public supplies is derived—and to whose protection, in their lawful pursuits, the honor of the nation is pledged, and the oath of the Government solemnly given.
Occasions may certainly occur, when a nation may be compelled to modify its demands, and even to surrender the claims of its citizens; but in all such cases it is the duty of government to apprise the loss among the community, and scrupulously to avoid imposing it on any particular class—and such has been the practice of every just and liberal government.
In the instance now pending, no such compulsion does or can exist. The claims of our merchants are fair, and the means to enforce them are ample.
And we must expect that a spirit, and an integrity will prevail to assert the rights of the nation, and to do equal justice to all its citizens.
Nor ought any one description of citizens to view with indifference the wrongs that may be sustained by another. Disquality the merchant from pursuing his commerce, and either your revenue must cease, or your farms and your work. Ings, must be taxed to make the deficiency. The millennium is not yet come, and while man continues the animal he now is Government will be found essential, not only to his comfort but to his existence.
Government of necessity induces exaction, (as against the multiplied rights of Ambassadors even under the system of PROTECTORATE) and that exaction can only be delayed by a soft trade, or by direct exaction.
Amid your trade by offering the merchant to be robbed of his capital, and half the Farmer's sack must go in toll to the mill of the Government. (ibid)
A Hint to Tradesmen. A man of business in Dunsin, finding it impossible to get in his book debts, advertised them to be sold by auction, pledging himself at the same time to prove each debt for the purchaser; the auction which this excited was such, that in less than a week not a single debt was to be found uncancelled in the books of the Advertiser.

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 torpor 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 would only attempt to whisper. He has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaint, 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 indiscretion—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immodeerate 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 unparallelled in the cure of
 Nervous disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Consumptions, Indigestion,  Lowndes, Melancholy,  Lots of ap. white, Gout in the stomach,  Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs,  Hysterical affections, Relaxations,  Inward weakness, Involuntary emissions,  Seminal weakness, Obsolete 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 for cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRA 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) order, 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, aliening her, 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 hundred persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or tumours in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of familiar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence on the contrary, particular 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, or will without pain or griping, clear the stomach and bowels of whatever is bad or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms, and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual in carrying off all gross humors, and in the most effectual manner in the removal of the mildest purgative that can be used on
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which 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 a 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—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with loss 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 florid.
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 familiar 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 intermitting pains, relieving 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 was raised 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 number 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 merits are 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 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 mercurius but upon close inspection it was 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 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 MOTHER.

TRAVELS IN GREECE.
PROPOSALS,
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE TRAVELS OF Anacharsis the Younger, IN GREECE:
During the middle of the fourth Century, before the Christian Era, With copious Notes and References.
BY
THE ABBE BARTHELEMY, Keeper of the Medals in the Cabinet of the King of France, and Member of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres.
Translated from the French.
First American, from the fourth London edition, IN FOUR VOLUMES.
THE work now offered to the American reader exhibits a complete view of the antiquities, manners, customs, religious ceremonies, laws, arts, and literature of ancient Greece, at the period of its greatest splendour. A knowledge of these has hitherto been only attainable by a laborious perusal of writers who have been little solicitous to join entertainment with instruction. The Travels of Anacharsis , on the contrary, are so written, that the reader may frequently be induced to imagine he is perusing a work of mere amusement, invention, and fancy; till his eye glances to the bottom of the page, when he perceives there is scarcely a sentence, and not a single fact or circumstance, but is supported by the authority of some ancient author. The amazing number of these quotations may, perhaps at first sight, seem to have been unnecessary, and to have more the appearance of a parade of erudition, than to be of any real utility; but it is to be remembered that, at the same time that they must be highly acceptable to the man of real learning, by enabling him to refer immediately to the original author, they are extremely useful, nay, we may say, absolutely necessary, even to such readers as can never be supposed to have any intention to consult the authorities quoted; as they clearly show that such an idea, or such a circumstance, is not merely a decoration or the offspring of the fancy of the author, but immediately taken from some ancient writer, and therefore perfectly accordant to the general scope and plan of the work.
TERMS.
 The first Edition in America of Anacharsis's Travels , will be comprised in four Vols octavo.  It shall be printed on handsome wove paper and a new type casting for the purpose. Each Volume will contain about 400 pages.  The price to Subscribers, per Vol. bound and lettered, will be 2 dollars; in boards, 1 dollar and 75 cents, to be paid on the delivery of each Volume. The European Edition sells at 12 dollars per set.  There shall be a handsome Map of Greece given with the first Volume, to be executed by one of the best Engravers.  Those who obtain ten Subscribers and become responsible for the payment of the same shall receive one copy gratis. The work is now at Press, and shall be finished with all possible dispatch.  Subscriptions to the above work received at Robert & John Gray's book Store, Alexandria.
ROBERT & JOHN GRAY
HAVE JUST RECEIVED A large supply of Dr. Stoughton's GENUINE BITTERS,
THE happy effects, and superior efficacy of these bitters, can be testified by hundreds in Alexandria and its neighbourhood, during the prevailing sickness last summer. We believe that every person, who then persevered in regularly taking them, resisted the attacks of the fever. They brace the constitution, create appetite, assist digestion, and relieve the cholic; in short, in all complaints of the stomach and bowels they have been proved to be eminently efficacious. Hence, they resist malignant fevers, and are a preventive to the ague. A course of these bitters, begun now, may prove highly beneficial, as they will gradually prepare the system to undergo the danger of a sickly summer.
There are many counterfeits. Purchasers will please to observe that the genuine Stoughton's Bitters are sealed with the first letter of the Doctor's surname, and full directions pasted on each bottle. Tavern keepers and liquor stores, will find it to their advantage to use them, as from superior strength alone they may be considered to cost no more than the trash so often imposed upon them. They are also sold by Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol Hill, City of Washington; Mr. March, George Town, and Mr. A. Buck, Fredericksburg. Also just received, ESSENCE or SPRUCE. Beer made with this article, is well known to be the most wholesome and least expensive mixed beverage for the summer season.
