DESCRIPTION
OF A TEMPESTUOUS NIGHT.
WRITTEN BY A CAROLINIAN—ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND.
Ponto Nax incumbat atra.
Intueri Peli, & erebris micat ignibus ather
Vide Æns Lib. I.
NOW gloomy night outspreads her sable wings, A deep sigh o'er the vale is cast; Save where the solitary sheep bell rings, Or dry leaves rustle in the boisterous blast.
we that from yonder mournful aged view, The moping owl just raised her bodied screech; The shrill whistle of the lone curlew, Sounds o'er the winding of the Sandy beach.
the pale Cynthia darts her silver beams, The envious mists disperse, her orb unshrouds; When on the whitening surge uncertain gleams, Thro' the dark covert of surrounding clouds.
horror broods upon the troubled main! Rose swelling waves roll to the pebbly shore! Darkling clouds pour down the driving rain, Angry winds like solemn thunders roar.
spirit of the tempest shouts aloud! Rising I see the foaming breakers rear! O'er fell shoals in wild disorder crowd, And pearls of thunder rumble thro' the air.
the storm increases, fiercer winds arise: And lo! the moon withdraws her wonted ray; Swift vivid lightnings streak the flashing skies, And add more horror to the dreadful fray.

From LONDON PAPERS received at the Office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
LONDON July 25.
The following is a copy of a letter which Mr. Forbes, consul of the United States of America in Hamburg sent to the Captains of its nation.—
Hamburg July.
The blockade of the Elbe by the English has been officially announced to the government of this City. In so serious a crisis as the present it is of consequence to the interest of your owners most strictly to observe, not only the laws as they have been acknowledged by the respective nations, but also those laws as they have been laid down by the principal Maritime Powers. I therefore advise you not to take any goods on board, to procure the best certificates, that what you have already loaded has been shipped and loaded before the blockade of the Elbe was known, and to hasten your departure as much as possible.
I am &c. JOHN M. FORBES
A letter from the Banks of the Mein, states, that the first Consul will assume the title of Commander in Chief of the Army of England, which is to consist of 200,000 men. The head quarters are to be established pro tempore at Compeigne. This army is to form an immense cordon from the mouth of the Elbe to Rochelle and Rochefort, and is to be subdivided into four separate armies, the first of which is to extend from the mouth of the Elbe to Flushing, and to comprehend the troops dispersed in the Electorate of Hanover and the Batavian Republic; the second is to be formed by the troops in Belgium, and to extend from Flushing to Dunkirk; the third is to extend from Dunkirk to Cherbourg, and to comprise the troops cantoned in the departments of the north, the Pays de Calais, La Somme, and Basse Loire; and the south is to extend from Cherbourg to Brest and Rochefort and to comprehend all the troops distributed in the Departments of the West.
THE KING OF FRANCE.
The following is a translation of a printed paper delivered at his Levee by Monsieur, entitled, "Publication made by Monsieur, Brother to the king of France."
Monsieur, the brother to the king of France, has looked upon it as his duty no longer to observe silence on an important fact too vaguely understood. The different accounts which have been circulated of it, the false reports which an usurping Government has spread in France, imperiously demand that the French should be accurately informed on the true facts.
This is the consideration which has determined Monsieur, in the present conjuncture, to publish the details, which particular circumstances, however interesting, do not suffer him to enlarge upon more fully than as follows:
On the 26th of February in the present year, a person fully authorised, waited on the king of France, at Warsaw, and verbally made to his Majesty, in the plainest, but, at the same time, the most pressing and, as he thought, the most persuasive terms, the proposal of renouncing the Throne of France, and of requiring the same renunciation on the part of all the members of the House of Bourbon. This person added, that in return for such a sacrifice, Bonaparte would himself secure the King sufficient indemnities, and even a splendid support. His Majesty strongly impressed with that sentiment, which misfortune never destroys in great souls, and which attaches him as strongly to his rights as to the happiness of France, instantly made the following answer, and remitted it in writing on the 28th, to the person who had been dispatched to him.
THE KING'S ANSWER.
"I do not confound Mr. Bonaparte with those who have proceeded him; I esteem his valour, his military talents; I am pleased with several of his acts of administration, for the good done to my people will ever be dear to me; but he deceives himself if he thinks he can induce me to transfer my rights; so far from that, he will himself strengthen them, if they could be questioned, by the course he at present pursues."
"I know not the designs of Providence with respect to me and my race. But I know the obligations which are imposed upon me by the rank in which it was its will that I should be born."
"As a christian I shall, to my last moment, fulfil those obligations: as a descendant of St. Louis, I shall, like him, respect myself even in chains; as a successor of Francis I. I shall be desirous of saying with him— Nous avons tout perdu, fors l'honneur—All is lost, except our honour! "
At the bottom is written:
"With the permission of the king, my uncle, I, with all my heart and soul, adhere to this act."
(Signed) "LOUIS ANTOINE."
On the 2d of March, the king wrote to Monsieur an account of all that had passed, and desired him to communicate it to the Princes of the Blood, who were then in England: undertaking himself to make the following communication to such as were not there.
On the 23d of April, Monsieur called a meeting of the princes, who with equal zeal and unanimity signed the following instrument of approbation of the king's answer of the 28th of February.
ACT OF APPROBATION OF THE PRINCES.
"We, the undersigned Princes, the brother, nephew, and cousins of his Majesty Louis XVIII King of France and Navarre."
"Deeply penetrated with the same sentiments with which our sovereign Lord and King shews himself so nobly animated, in his answer to the proposition which has been made to him to renounce the throne of France, and to renounce their imprescriptible rights to the succession of that Throne;
"Do Decree,
"That as our attachment to our duties and our honor can never permit us to commute our rights, we concur, with heart and soul in the answer of our king."
"That after his example we shall never suffer ourselves to be wanting in the slightest degree, in our duty to ourselves, our ancestors, or our posterity."
"We further declare, that being positively certain that the greater majority of the people of France entertain in their hearts the same sentiments which animate us, it is in the name of our loyal countrymen, and in our own, that we renew, before God, on our swords, and in the hands of our king, to live and die, true to honor, and to our lawful sovereign."
(Signed) "Cha. Philippe, of France."
"Cha. Ferd. D'Artois, Duke of Berri."
"Louis Phil. D'Artois, Duke of Orleans."
"Antoine Phillipe D'Orleans, Duke of Montpensier."
"Louis Ch. D'Orleans, Count of Beaujolais."
"Louis Jos. De Bourbon, Prince of Conde."
"Louis Hen. Joseph De Bourbon Conde, Duke of Bourbon."
"Wanstead House April 23d, 1803."
ACT OF ACCESSION OF THE DUKE OF ENGHEIM.
"Sir,—The letter of the 2d of March, with which your Majesty has deigned to honor me, has come punctual to hand. Your Majesty too well knows the blood which flows in my veins, to have for a moment doubted in what sense I should make reply to the required. I am a Frenchman.—Sire, a Frenchman, faithful to his God, to his king, and to the vows of honor. Many others may one day, perhaps envy me this three fold advantage. Let your Majesty then deign to permit me to add my signature to that of the Duke of Angouleme, as I, like him, adhere, with all my heart and soul, to the contents of the note of my King. In the unalterable sentiments, I am Sir, your Majesty's most humble, most obedient, and most faithful subject and servant."
(Signed)
LOUIS ANTOINE HENRI DE BOURBON.
"Eilenheim, in Baden, March 12, 1803."
The prince of Conde's Act of adherence has not been received by Monsieur; but there is no doubt of it.
Monsieur has since learned, that on the 19th of March, the same envoy, in pursuance of orders which he had received, again waited on the King, to request a change, not in the substance but in the form of his Majesty's answer. It seemed to be apprehended that it might irritate the Usurper to such a degree as to provoke him to use his influence to aggravate the afflictions of the king.—His Majesty answered, that "He should make no alteration in his answer, which was as moderate as possible, and that Bonaparte would be wrong to complain of it, since if his Majesty had styled him Rebel and Usurper, he would have said no more than the truth." The danger of such a reply were then pointed out to the king.
"What," replied the king, "is malice to require that I shall be driven from my present place of retreat? I shall pity the sovereign who shall feel himself obliged to take such a part, and shall be gone." Oh no! But might there not be reason to fear, least Bonaparte should require certain powers to withhold from the Count de Lille the assistance which he now receives from them. "I fear not poverty: if necessary, I shall eat brown bread with my family and faithful followers. Be not deceived; I shall never be reduced to that: I have another powerful resource which I do not think it my duty to use, while I have my present powerful friends, I have but to make my condition known in France, and to hold out my hand, not to the government of the Usurper; no, never; but to my faithful subjects; and, believe me, I shall soon be richer than I am."
The consequence was, that the messenger was obliged to take back the King's answer, which had been returned to his Majesty, under an expectation that he would have made some alterations in it.
Faithful subjects, spirits truly French, recognise at length a King so worthy to reign over you, whom the government of an Usurper separates from his people.
July 28.
It is with the deepest concern we have to submit to the public details of acts as barbarous and atrocious as most of those which were perpetrated during the late insurrection in Ireland. Dispatches were yesterday received by Government from the Lord Lieutenant, stating the revival of the spirit of rebellion in Dublin, marked with circumstances no less tragical than they were expected. In the beginning of last week it was observed, that many strangers arrived in Dublin from the country, but no apprehension arose, nor was any notice taken. Suddenly on Saturday evening, however about 8 o'clock, a large mob assembled in Thomas street, in the liberties, armed with pikes and fire arms, stopped the carriage of Lord Kilwarden, who was then returning from his country seat, accompanied by his nephew, the Rev. Richard Wolfe, dragged his lordship and his nephew out, and assassinated them in the street, by stabbing them with pikes. The confusion that ensued is more easily to be conceived than described. General consternation and terror immediately pervaded the whole of the city, the drums beat to arms, the military were called out; but in the mean time the perpetrators of the horrid deed disappeared, and every effort to apprehend them, we are sorry to say, has hitherto proved ineffectual. On the same night the mail guard was attacked between Dublin and Naas, in consequence of the resistance that was made, two dragoons are stated to have
been killed. On the same evening a pistol was fired at Mr. Clarke, the foreman of the Grand jury of Dublin, by which he received a severe wound. He had, the day before carried an address to the Lord Lieutenant, expressive of the determination of the city of Dublin to support his Majesty in the contest in which we are engaged. Col. Browne of the 21st foot, and several private soldiers, are said to have been killed by the mob. Every means calculated to restore the tranquillity of the city was that night carried into effect, but such were the daring spirit of the insurgents, or rather the assassins that on Sunday a Magistrate of the County of Dublin, walking with a gentleman on Ormond Quay, was fired at, and both he and the gentleman were wounded.
The circumstances of these atrocious acts, particularly the assassination of Lord Kilwarden, are no less extraordinary and unaccountable, than horrid and deplorable. His Lordship was certainly obnoxious to the rebels, and must have been an enemy amongst the disaffected. He was not, however, a leading political character: then why should he have been singled out as the first victim? Could private malice have been the motive? and how could the sacrifice of such a man have tended in a particular manner to promote the views of the discontented? It is the opinion of some that the object of this enormity was, by an act of scélérat , to hold out to France a sort of pledge that the people of Ireland were ripe for insurrection, and ready to welcome the aid of our enemies. Any other public man of consequence, it is thought, who might have fallen in the way, would have suffered the fate of Lord Kilwarden.
By the proclamation which has been published on this melancholy subject, it is evident that the Irish Government view those sanguinary outrages as the commencement of a rebellious conspiracy against the State: and that part of the United Kingdom is, in consequence, to be placed immediately under martial law. Orders have already been given to the several Generals of districts to employ the troops under their command in the most speedy and effectual manner for the suppression of all rebellious insurrections and treasonable practices, to disarm all rebels, and seize all arms and ammunition that may be found in the custody of persons not duly authorised by law to keep them. This proceeding is a like, wise and necessary, and will we trust, be the means of effectually frustrating the designs of the disaffected. The principles by which these deluded wretches are now actuated, it is somewhat difficult to discover. The lower orders of the Irish, it is true, are as ignorant as they are distressed, and it is not improbable but that the missionaries of France have, of late, been very industrious in fanning the flame of rebellion, which, unhappily, was not extinguished with the former subjugation of the insurgents. But what any description of Irishmen can promise themselves from a connexion with France at the present moment, we are totally at a loss to conjecture, upon any principle of reason, policy, or justice. In no point of view whatever can Ireland hope for any improvement from such a connexion which on the contrary, would deprive it of all the advantages of rational freedom, and in return for the inevitable enjoyments of the British Constitution, render it the object and insulted slave of an enemy, whose boasted protection is the most cruel oppression, whose object is universal devastation and plunder, and whose ambition is only to be sated with the overthrow of every system that does not accord with his own selfish and tyrannical propensities.
On Monday morning, when Mr. Marryan, the Messenger who brought the dispatches yesterday, set off all was as tranquil as could be expected, and the military were in complete possession of every part of the town. Military guards were placed on all the bridges, and all the avenues leading from the town. A person could not move out without military inspection and protection. On Sunday afternoon there was reason to apprehend the rebels would make another effort; but the military were all on the alert, and the yeomanry turned out with so much spirit, and in such numbers, that it is supposed the rebels saw any attempt would be vain. There is no doubt, however, that Dublin is full of rebels, and we may look for very unpleasant intelligence both from that city and the provinces. The insurrection cannot be considered as conciliated; but the first burst it has been so completely checked, that we are in hopes nothing very serious will follow.
A report was last night and this morning in circulation, that the whole county of Kildare was in a state of open rebellion, and the town of Kildare in the possession of the rebels. We have not been able to trace it to any authentic source, and we sincerely trust that the horrible excesses, of which the metropolis was the scene, did not extend to any part of Ireland.
Other accounts state, that a desperate engagement took place between the insurgents in Thomas street, and the military, in which much blood was spilt. The former, it is said, fought with fire arms and pikes, and fired from windows.
As this paper was on the point of going to press, we were favoured with the following extract of a letter, containing several interesting particulars, on the correctness of which we have reason to place every reliance.
Liverpool, July 27.
"I am sorry to be the bearer of most painful news from Dublin, from which place I am but just arrived. That city has experienced another dreadful rebellion. On Saturday last a vast mob filled with savage ferocity, and evidently acting under a deep laid and desperate plan, assembled in and about Thomas street, and began by mandating a pass word from every passenger in street, having first placed numerous planks, studded with very large nails, to prevent any opposition.

We must solicit the favour of our Subscribers in Town to call at the Office for their Papers for a short time—as soon as possible we shall again cause them to be served at their dwellings.

The Committee of Health acknowledge with gratitude the receipt of Ten Bushels of Indian Meal, as a donation for the use of the poor.
The Committee of Health are constrained to state it as their sense, that the inhabitants who sleep from their houses, ought to deposit their FIRE BUCKETS, in the several Engine Houses nearest to their neighbourhood, under the care of those who have the keys of the Engine Houses, or at the Court House, under the care of the Captain of the Watch. They do most earnestly call on their fellow citizens to endeavour, as speedily as possible, to comply with this important request.

Our subscribers will perceive, this days paper to be on an enlarged scale. They must also have observed, that, for some time past, the Alexandria Advertiser has presented them with a variety of original communications—the best and earliest foreign news which could be obtained, and such occasional selections as might suit the taste of every reader. Contemplating this enlargement, we thus endeavoured to claim a place, in the esteem of the public; and our exertions have, in some degree, been crowned with success—for, they have been the means of a considerable increase of subscribers.
To support our constitution, as laid down by Washington, and those great men whose names are enrolled with his, on asserting our independence, and afterwards on our attaining a rank amongst nations, has been the principles upon which we have acted; and we have held it a duty to oppose every attempt at the smallest innovation on those rights.
The present increased size of the Alexandria Advertiser, and the consequent additional expence, attending its publication in its present form; added to our determination to use every exertion to render it worthy of patronage, obliges us to call for the small addition of ONE DOLLAR per annum, from each subscriber, and which will still leave its price less than any daily paper published within the United States of America.
The Louisville paper of the 25th ult. contains the following information:—“An expedition is expected to leave this place shortly under the direction of Captain William Clark and Mr. Lewis, (private secretary to the President) to proceed through the immense wilderness of Louisiana to the Western or Pacific Ocean. The particular objects of this undertaking are at present matters of conjecture only; but we have good reason to believe that our government intends to encourage settlements and establish sea ports on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, which would not only facilitate our Whaling and Sealing voyages, but enable our enterprising merchants to carry on a more direct and rapid trade with China and the East Indies.”
FROM CADIZ.—Accounts from Cadiz to the 23d of July, states, that the Spaniards were augmenting their naval and military forces with great spirit, that the impressments were carried on day and night, and extended to all descriptions of persons, except to freeholders: the accounts from this place also advise, that the French had taken possession of all the Italian Ports and confiscated every species of British property there. (Boston Gaz.)
A fleet of eighteen sail of English vessels under convoy of the Blanch frigate, having on board the 25th regiment, arrived at Barbadoes on the 28th August. On the 29th an expedition left there for Demerara, under the command of Lieutenant General Grinsfield and Commodore Sir Samuel Hood.
ON GOOD HUMOUR.
Good humour may be defined, a habit of being pleased, a constant and perennial softness of manners, easiness of approach, and suavity of disposition; like that which every one perceives in himself, when the first transports of new felicity have subsided, and his thoughts are only kept in motion by a slow succession of soft impulses.
Surely nothing can be more unreasonable than to lose the will to please when we are conscious of the power, or show more cruelty than to choose any kind of influence before that of kindness and good humour. He that regards the welfare of others, should make his virtue approachable, that it may be loved and copied; and he that considers the wants which every man feels, or will feel, of external existence, must rather wish to be surrounded by those who love him, than by those that admire his excellencies or solicit his favours; for the admiration ceases with novelty, and interest gains its ends and retires. A man whose great qualities want of ornament or superficial attractions, is like a naked mountain with mines of gold, which will be frequented only till the treasure is exhausted.
Nothing can more show the value of good humour, than that it recommends those who are destitute of all other excellencies, and procures regard to the trifling, friendship to the worthless, and affection to the dull.
Gaiety is, to good humour, as animal perfumes to a vegetable fragrance. The one evaporates weak spirits, the other recreates and revives them. Gaiety seldom fails to give some pain; the bearers either strain their faculties, to accompany its towings, or are left behind in envy and despair. Good humour boasts no faculties which every one does not believe in his own power, and pleases principally by not offending.

THE MORALIST.

Read in the face of Heaven, and in the Stars, The God impress'd in glowing characters.
DRYDEN.
MAN was not formed by the divine architect, for a creature of low & mean condition. He was given reason, and thrown upon this vicious world as into a vast and spacious amphitheatre, to view and examine all around him. He became, at once, an actor in the scene and a candidate for fame and immortality. In his soul was implanted a strong and invincible passion, for all that is great and divine, with a contempt for meanness, and an abhorrence of wickedness. Hence it would seem, that “the great globe itself and all which it inherits,” is not capacious enough for the extensive contemplations of the human mind; and that our thoughts often soar above the Heavens, and penetrate beyond those boundaries which terminate the universe.
Disclaiming as it were, to be limited by the narrow powers of our senses, we open the field to our imagination; and, as if the earth we tread was too small, we contemplate worlds that revolve at immense distances. We conceive that we can distinguish behind and beyond all these, others not less in magnitude but seeming so because at a greater distance. This genius we receive from Heaven, extensive as the infinite space which it contemplates, and in which it is, as it were at length mingled, swallowed up and lost. It knows no more bounds than that infinity of space it would examine, or than the power itself which it supposes to have furnished that infinity with worlds innumerable.
“Lo the poor Indian, whose untutored mind, Sees God in every cloud, or hears him in the wind.”
POPE.
Thus human reason acts when right directed; and thus a sovereign pride grows on confessed humility, as knowledge upon conscious ignorance. He who fancies himself great, who, seeing some things less, supposes himself superior to all, glories in what is little more than nothing. When we have the modesty to know ourselves, we at once distinguish the soul to be something superior, and find its separate nature by exerting its independent faculties. In contemplating these subjects, we feel a gratitude to GOD, we feel a power of divinity within us; we discover that to entertain a sense of these, his operations, is to enjoy, tho' at an unmeasurable distance, something of his own nature, some emanation from himself, and therefore too great for mortality.
He who has the power to think, feels within himself conviction of the true dignity, and real superiority in his nature above that of other creatures. He now believes that he has proof of the souls immortality, while he contemplates heaven and earth, the sea and air, and those innumerable worlds formed like this, and most likely, peopled like it; and he glows with pride, that he is the favoured creature of that great power who made him. He will see the extent of his creator so far as it regards himself in the disposition of things about him; and conforming his actions with love and with obedience to that design, he will exert every virtue.
This was the design for which God conferred this dignity and bestowed those powers upon the human mind. They should only be applied to virtuous ends, and thus cannot fail giving relief to the disordered, and happiness to all. This is the consequence of employing and exerting them; and this being the consequence, it is virtue so to employ them; and with the ignominy, there is a tincture of a crime, in suffering them to be unexercised.
ANECDOE.
The following Anecdote has not probably escaped the recollection of some, who can vouch for its being substantially correct:
MANY years ago, a gentleman of considerable fortune, who resided in Virginia, and who had two children, a daughter and a son, became much incensed against his daughter, in consequence of her being about to marry a person he disapproved of; and in order to evince his disapprobation of the connection, he disinherited her, and bequeathed the whole of his estate to his son.
The son being warmly attached to the person who was about to marry his sister, and believing that the prejudices of his father (whom we shall designate by the name of James Bond) arose from improper motives, adopted the following singular method in order to remove from his fathers mind what he believed to be an unwarrantable restraint over the freedom of marriage.
The son, dressed in women's apparel, and wrapping himself in a sheet, obtained entrance about midnight into his father's chamber, and creeping along the floor, raised himself at the bedside of James Bond, and there personating his mother, who had been dead for several years, and in imitation of her voice, called out, “James Bond! James Bond! James Bond!” Bond, observing the ghost, lay trembling in his bed, without making a reply. The ghost then said “You have a daughter that I charged you, when you left this world, to be particularly attentive to. You have disinherited her, because she claimed the liberty of marriage; You have thereby inhumanly committed a manifest violation of the laws of nature, by arresting a connection enforced by the holy scriptures and sanctioned by divine authority.” Bond remained motionless, unable to utter a word. The ghost then continued “I am your wife; she is my daughter: I am come from the world of spirits to charge you, in the most sacred and solemn manner, to give her the strongest proofs of your veneration and love, that before to morrow night you reinstate her in your confidence, and possess her with a due proportion of your estate; otherwise I will again visit you; you will be overwhelmed with grief; your difficulties will daily augment, and your happiness here and hereafter gone, gone forever.”
The ghost then sunk down, and immediately disappeared. James Bond, waited in silence with the utmost impatience and uneasiness, for the dawn of day, when he arose, and after several hours solemn meditation on the awful interview the preceding night, he sent for his daughter, immediately gave her a very ample estate, and after strongly recommending to her to marry the person for whom he believed she had much tender affection, he withdrew, conscientiously believing, that if he had not done so the consequences would have been dreadful. His daughter was soon after married, and Mr. Bond discovered every disposition to place their pecuniary concerns on a sure and solid foundation.

from the Cavalry. In a very short time after, Lord Kilwarden, and his nephew, the Rev. Richard Wolfe, passing by on his return from his country seat, near Nass, in the county of Kilclare, and being unable to answer the pass word of this desperate banditti was dragged from his carriage into the street, and inhumanly stabbed. He expired in a few moments. In a very short period, not less than forty other persons, all males experienced the same fate. By great exertion, on the part of some troops of horse, the rebels, consisting of at least 4000, were attacked with great fury, and after the loss of about thirty of the Regulars, and many among the Rebels, they were completely subdued.
A great number of the principal Rebels were secured, and thirty were to be executed.
By the activity of the Military, and exertions of the Magistrates, immediately after the conclusion of this unfortunate affair, no less than 30,000 pikes, and rebel uniforms for 10,000 men were discovered and seized.
NEW YORK September 17.
The Eclipse, capt. Philips, of Philadelphia was captured at one of the native ports in India, in the month of February, by the British government ship the Cartier, which was fitted out at Bencoolen for the purpose. This ship also had seized the Harmony of Philadelphia, under pretence of an infringement of the British treaty. The crews of both ships were taken out, and the vessels carried down to the British ports. The Eclipse had taken on board an English gentleman as passenger from Bencoolen, who had among his baggage 4 chests Opium—and the British pretended she had violated the treaty in disposing of this article among the natives and with a view of making the seizure the Cartier, had pursued her throughout the whole extent of the coast of Sumatra.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs Asth- mas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Con- sumptions.
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 child- ren 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 Gene- ral 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 Ha- milton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving publication.
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 at- tempt 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 medi- cine.
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 indiscre- tions—excess in climber—unfavourable to the constitut- tion—the inmoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or ex- cessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  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 weakness,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Obstinate glects,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impover- ishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, pas- sey, 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 Ha- milton'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 treat- ment introduced 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, be- tween Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, volun- tarily makes this 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 Ha- milton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were pro- cured from Mr. Buch, 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 foul-nests in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with vio- lence; 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; but will, with- out pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross hu- mours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tere or large round worm, the Asca- rides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitine, or short,
flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagree- able breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupt- ed gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Con- vulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irre- gular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomit- ing—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 ne- cessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURBS—by Hamilton's Worm Destroy- ing 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 Har- ford 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 con- ceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite was lost 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 a- bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the pos- session 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 opera- tion on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abun- dantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York- town, 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 af- flicted 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 car- ried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quit repleed 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 occasi- ons 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 of- ten 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 indis- position both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOTHER.
