From the Washington Federalist.
WHEN I requested a suspense of public opinion, on the subject of certain extracts of letters, said to be from officers on board the United States frigates John Adams and N. York, it was my intention to have held that opinion in suspense until I could offer to my country a full and fair exposition of our transactions in the Mediterranean, so far as they relate to Barbary, since the commencement of the war with Tripoli; but the solicitude of my particular friends to be relieved from that state of suspense, induces me to state the truth of the facts alluded to in these extracts, and rely on the candor of the printers, who have published these extracts, to publish this statement also.
Wm. EATON.
Copy of a letter to Commodore Morris. Tunis, 26th Jan. 1803.
Sir, At 7 o'clock this morning I received a message from the Bey's prime minister, requiring my appearance at the palace: I accordingly rendered myself there. The Bey received me in his hall of justice. He said the object of his calling on me was to inform me, that an American cruiser had captured an Imperial vessel, laden with merchandise appertaining to his subjects, and to demand restitution.
I observed that I had heard of the capture of an Imperial vessel, laden with merchandise, bound to Tripoli, by one of our vessels of war; but this advice was not official, nor had I any particular information of the facts.
Here follows the substance of what passed on the subject between the Bey and myself:
"This," said he, "was a cargo from the Levant, belonging and consigned to one of my subjects of the island of Gerba. It arrived at Malta. There the proprietor chartered an Imperial vessel, into which he transferred the cargo, to be carried to the port of its destination. But, having two Tripolitan subjects on board, whom he was obliged to land at Tripoli, he gave instructions to the master to shape his course first to that port with this view, with precise orders, that if he encountered any American vessels of war before the port, to discontinue the voyage, and proceed to Gerba. In pursuance of which instructions, the said vessel fell in with an American cruiser of two masts; was by him captured and conducted to Malta. You are responsible for the cargo."
To which I answered; I cannot call in question your Excellency's veracity in this statement; but it is presumed your information on the subject must be incorrect. It is highly improbable that a merchant of Gerba, who could not be ignorant of the blockade of Tripoli, should risk a ship to that port, laden with a cargo intended for Gerba, merely for the purpose of landing two passengers, if his intention were not to land his cargo there also; and the more so, as the port of Gerba is about half the distance.
The Bey hesitated a moment, and resumed the subject—"Well; admit the cargo was intended for Tripoli; what right have you to make prize of it?"
A very simple one. It is long since that I have announced to your excellency the blockade of Tripoli, and I have never ceased to caution your agents and subjects against making shipments to that port. If in contempt of this advice and caution they choose to risk their property, and it fall into our hands, it becomes of course good prize, by a right founded on the known and received laws of nations, applicable in such cases.
"We Barbary states do not admit the laws of war established among Christian nations applicable to us. We have always enjoyed the exclusive privilege to assert our own customs. We shall exact the same privilege of you—I therefore demand the immediate restitution of the cargo in question with damages for detention. You will communicate this demand to your commodore, and tell him to restore the cargo without delay."
If the Barbary Regencies have customs and maxims of war peculiar to themselves, and distinct from the general and acknowledged laws of other belligerent powers, this is no reason why we should renounce the latter and conform ourselves to the former; which indeed, are neither specified nor known, and dictated chiefly by the circumstance of the moment, even though they may find precedent for such a concession. If we were to admit principles so vague and capricious, we might as well at once ourselves furnish our enemy with the means of subsistence and offence. I shall, however, state to the commodore, as well as to my government, your excellency's reclamation. But it is incumbent on me at the same time to signify to you that, though I am not informed what may be the discretionary power of the commodore in like cases, I doubt whether he be authorised to render this cargo to your claim; because it being admitted that it was destined for Tripoli, and it being known that this port was in a state of actual blockade, it has become good prize to the captors, the property totally alienated from the shippers & subject to the disposition of our laws. No decision therefore can be had in favor of the claimants without the interference of the government of the United States. But should they consent to grant indemnity in this case, it would be an act of special favor, not of right. I hope your excellency will allow me sufficient time to submit the necessary statement to the president, my master, and wait his answer.
"No. I will indemnify myself in a shorter and more certain way. You know I am at war with Naples and Genoa. I will order my corsairs to make reprisals on your merchant vessels entering those ports."
"True. I know you are at war with Naples and Genoa. But it is indeed a strange species of war; for we see at the same time a free commerce between you and them; neither one nor the other of those ports can be considered in a state of blockade."
"They are both in a perpetual state of blockade."
This is the first advice I have had of it. It will serve for my government. But any indemnity by way of reprisal, even if your claim were well founded, before that indemnity should be refused to regular application, would be an act of direct hostility. I profit of this occasion to repeat to your Excellency the wish of my government to maintain peace and good intelligence with this regency. The evidence already given of this disposition should not admit a doubt, & my constancy in advising your Excellency of all danger, which might tend to interrupt it, goes to the same proof. But facts justify an apprehension that this desire is not reciprocal on the part of this regency. The persevering obstinacy of your subjects, countenanced by their sovereign, to carry supplies to our enemy, seems purposely calculated to embroil our affairs, and eventually and unavoidably will end in a rupture, except restrained. I desire, therefore, that your Excellency will cause suitable measures to be observed to impede such an event.
"I shall use no measures whatever to that effect. My merchantmen will continue their expeditions to Tripoli as usual. I wish to have them captured by you. I shall ultimately gain much more by it than the commerce. Write what I have said to your commodore."
I shall acquaint him with facts. But it is requisite that I should be furnished with such document relative thereto as the nature of the subject requires.
"I will cause it to be furnished. You will admit no delay in dispatching advice to your commodore to the effect that my subject may be reinstated in his property, or that I may know the result, in order to conform my measures to circumstances."
I forbear making any comments on the subject of this audience. It speaks a language too plain to need an exposition. I cannot forbear repeating to you that there is an absolute necessity that I should have an interview with you and Mr. Cathcart, and soon. Affairs of incalculable moment to the United States here require the assistance of your counsel; perhaps your force!
I have this evening had the assurance of the Bey's commercial agent, who is friendly, that nothing but your appearance here will prevent the Bey from putting his menaces into execution, unless it be unconditional concessions to his demands. I am neither authorised nor inclined to yield those concessions.
I remain with great respect, Sir, Your very obedient servant, WILLIAM EATON.
Richard Morris, Esq. commodore of the U. States squadron in the Mediterranean. [To be continued.]

Boston, June 20.
Late from Europe.
By the arrival, on Friday, of the Mary, capt. Briggs, from Nantz, Paris accounts to the 6th of May were received; they state generally, that the controversy between that country and England, was rapidly approaching to a crisis; but whether it would lead to a permanent peace establishment, or to a renewal of hostilities, were highly problematical. The following extract of a letter, received by this arrival, contains some particulars, which are worthy particular notice:—
NANTZ, May 10.
When the last mail from Paris left that place, the English Ambassador had his guards ready to accompany his coaches, to which his trunks were fixed; but just as he was ready to start, he received dispatches from his cabinet, which led him to wait a short time.
"The English are before every one of our ports."
"The fishermen are detained at Havre and Dippe;—yet our government takes no measures of defence; this circumstance induces our merchants to think, that war will not take place."
The "Clef du Cabinet," of the 6th of May, says, "Lord Whitworth had announced his departure as fixed for yesterday, at 5 o'clock in the morning: but he has changed his resolution; and will continue some time longer here."
"The Publiciste," which is said to be a half official paper, of the same date, says "The departure of the English Ambassador is deferred, at least for some days." That this resolution of his Lordship had an angry appearance, may be gathered from the wording of this paragraph in the "Clef du Cabinet," of the 6th May: "the preparation for the journey of the First Consul to Belgium, still continue, notwithstanding the clouds which obscure our political horizon."
In another paper, of the 6th under the head of Legislative Proceedings, on the 5th May, is the following: "The expiration of an official communication from Government to the Legislative Body upon our political situation with Great Britain, attracted a vast concourse of people, who before the opening of the session, filed the different Galleries, &c. But no communication was received."
A paper of the 3d May, says: "At the audience yesterday Mr. Monroe presented his letters of credence in quality of Envoy Extraordinary, from the United States of America; the same paper adds, "It was remarked, that the English Ambassador was not present at this audience."
A paper of the 23d April informs, that an embargo had been imposed at Dunkirk on all the fishing vessels bound to Newfoundland, "This measure," it adds "has for its object the procurement of good seamen in case of war."
New York, June 24.
By the British schr. Belsey, capt. Kelly in 10 days from Halifax, we have received papers from that place as late as the 11th inst. We find, by letters from St. Johns, that the arrival of the ship Lord M'Cartney, furnishes nothing later from London than the 4th ult. of course, the news said to have been bro't by her falls to the ground. But capt. Hills, of the schr. Success, who arrived at Halifax on the 10th inst. from St. Johns, informs, "that three or four days previous to his sailing, a brig arrived there, in seventeen days passage from Plymouth, Eng. This vessel might have brought accounts to the 7th or 8th May from London; but all that we have been able to learn, is, that the press was hotter than ever, and that WAR was supposed to be inevitable."
[This vessel must have left Plymouth about the 12th of May, and if, at that time, the "press was hotter than ever, and war supposed to be inevitable," it is pretty evident that nothing of a pacific nature had occurred subsequent to Mr. Addington's communication to Parliament on the 5th ult. Therefore, in our opinion, the probability of war increases.]
In our Halifax papers we find two extracts of letters from St. Johns, noticing the arrival of the Lord M'Cartney. One of these letters says, "The channel fleet had sailed, under the command of Admiral Lord Nelson. A Manifesto was laid to be preparing, explanatory of the conduct, and intentions of His Majesty's Ministers."

and another Message, it was expected, would soon fix the business." The other letter observes, "It was expected, that on the 6th of May, ministry would make the long looked for communication to Parliament; and Mr. Addington having declared in the house, on the 2d, that the feelings of the Nation would be deeply interested in the said communication, and from all circumstances taken together, I am far from thinking it settled that we are not to have war."
Directions for vessels bound to Trinidad.
In the rainy season that commences commonly the end of June or beginning of July, a strong current sets out of the Bocca del Drago, or Dragons mouths, occasioned by the rivers, and branches of the river Orinoco that empty themselves into the Gulph of Paria. This with a strong lee current and southerly wind that generally prevails at the same season, occasioned many vessels to fall very unexpectedly to leeward; an accident irretrievable by the fastest sailing vessel, particularly in light winds. It is therefore advisable for vessels bound in that season for Trinidad from the coast of the United States, to go to the windward of Barbados and make Tobago. From thence steer S. S. W. or as high as the wind will permit to get hold of the land of Trinidad distant 6 or 7 leagues. The course along the N. shore of Trinidad is W. S. W. fifteen leagues from the point of Galie or N. E. point of the Island to the Bocca's.
If you have a moderate breeze you may enter the second Bocca's (being the safest except the grand Bocca's further to leeward) keeping the lee or westward shore on board by which you will carry in the breeze and leave an eddy current when the stream is running out in the middle and on the eastward shore. If the wind is light, and the tide on ebb, we would advise the Bocca's or Dragons mouth, where you may come too, in good holding ground with a light kedge the breeze or current favors.
When you are within the Bocca's and gulph of Paria a short distance, you will open St. David's tower, above the town of Port of Spain clear of the south part of Gaspar Grande, about E. by N. distant 4 or 5 leagues. St. David's Tower or Citadel is of white stone, a very conspicuous mark, in the interior of the fortifications built by gov. Pigton or Abercrombie heights. In sailing up, you will see the forts on Gaspar Grande, and Point de Gourd, for protection of the Carrenage and Chagarams; and further up, the shipping at anchor off the town.
Heavy laden vessels not calculated for bearing, we would advise to run down in lat. 10, 10, N. make the S. E. Point of the island, run down the south side, and enter the gulph of Paria by the Serpents mouth. There are no dangers in running down this channel and you will have 12 to 5 fathom through keeping the land of Trinidad nearest on board. In entering the gulph, keep as close to Point de les Gallos, or Cocks point, (to avoid the Soldier keys.) When in, luff up. Port of Spain town lays N. E. distant twelve leagues. In running for the S. E. point and south side, you will have soundings before you make the land—should night come on you may anchor in the channel.
On the north side of the island of Trinidad is a narrow ridge of high mountains, running the whole length from east to west; the other parts are moderately low except on the south side where there are several hills. ALFRED.
New York, June 20, 1803.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Nevis to his brother in Portsmouth.
"I was witnessing a most horrid scene here, 4 days since, most too inhuman to mention. Capt. William Hilldrup of Hartford (Conn.) came here after an old debt; and having a little business with Mr. Charles Reap, clerk to Mr. Nicholson, merchant here—A trifling dispute rose between Capt. H. and R. not more than twenty words passed before Mr. R. took a pistol from his pocket, where he had it concealed, and without any hesitation presented it against Capt. H's left side, and killed him instantly on the spot. Mr. R. is secured, and I hope will meet the reward due for such a wilful and inhuman act. Capt. H. was a young gentleman of 22 or 23 years of age, of very respectable connexions, and bred in a counting house."

RAN AWAY from the subscribers, on the 23d inst. two likely Negro men, both named JACK. They were purchased by us in Baltimore, and escaped from us about 4 miles from this place, (Fredericksburg.)

The other a black fellow about 5 feet 10 inches high, about 24 years of age, has a large scar on his cheek, near his nose, and has many grey hairs, occasioned by a scalded head when young, and was late the property of Mr. Joseph Gressis of the same state. Had on a pair of brown linen trowsers and blue coat. Whoever will take up the said Negroes, and confine them in jail, shall receive the above reward.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
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 breath, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's
GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lying 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,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hyterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weakness,  Obstinate gleets,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn,
Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a 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, 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 efficacious in carrying off all gross humours 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 Tereas or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children; a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(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, 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 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 an appearance a mucus but upon close inspection quit repeated with very small living animals. No tone 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.
