RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named  BOB ,
about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good clothing, a description of which is unneces- sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he ab- sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis- covery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.
Captain's of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
DEBATE in the SENATE on the LOUISIANA TREATY.
CONTINUED.
THURSDAY, November 2.
Mr. Jackson—Mr. President, in answering the honorable gentleman who has just set down I shall take the liberty of commencing with repeating what I said yesterday, in answer to another honorable gentleman from Delaware, (Mr. White) that every argument they have made use of would better have applied at the time the treaty was on its passage, for ratification, or at the time of the passage of the bill for taking possession of Louisiana; and it appears extraordinary now after voting, if not for the treaty, for the bill, to see those gentlemen rise to oppose the conditions to be performed on our part, when France has issued the necessary orders to comply on her part. The delay of the passage of the bill before you may have the most fatal consequences, and if, as some gentlemen have hinted on former occasions, the French are sick of their bargain, will give them an opportunity to break it altogether, or create such jealousies between the two nations, as may render the ceded territory and its inhabitants of little value to us. In my opinion policy as well as justice requires, that we should comply with the stipulation on our part promptly and with good faith, and leave no opening for complaint with the other party. We shall then stand justified in the eyes of the world, and to ourselves, not only to take, but keep possession of this immense country, let what nation will oppose it.
But the honorable gentleman (Mr. Wells) has said that the French have no title, and having no title herself, we can derive none from her. Is not, I ask, the king of Spain's proclamation, declaring the cession of Louisiana to France, and his orders to his governor and officers to deliver it to France, a title? Do nations give any other? I believe the honorable gentleman can find no solitary instance of feoffment or conveyance between states; the treaty of St. Ildefonso was the ground work of the cession and whatever might have been the terms to be performed by France, the king of Spain's proclamation and orders, have declared to all the world, that they were complied with. The honorable gentleman however insists that there is no consideration expressed in the treaty, and therefore it must be void; if the honorable gentleman will but look attentively at the ninth article, I am persuaded he will perceive one; the conventions are made part of the treaty; they are declared to have execution in the same manner, as if they had been inserted in the treaty; they are to be ratified in the same form, and in the same time, so that the one shall not be distinct from the other. What inference can possibly be drawn, but that the payments to be made by them was full consideration for Louisiana? But the honorable gentleman lays a stress on that part of the treaty which declares that "The First Consul of the French Republic desiring to give to the United States a strong proof of his friendship, doth hereby cede to the U. States the territory, &c." Inferring from thence that our title rests on the friendship of Bonaparte alone. Sir, let my opinion of the present government of France be what it may, and I confess it is not very favorable, Bonaparte by the consent of the nation, is placed at its head; he is the organ through which the will of the nation is expressed, and is, and must be respected as such by all other powers. No nation has a right to interfere with the rule or police of another. It is enough that the nation wills it, that Bonaparte's act is the act of the whole nation, which cannot recal it, even if Bonaparte should cease to govern, and another form of government be adopted. But, Sir, admitting the objection of the honorable gentleman, in its utmost latitude, as to pecuniary considerations; are there no other considerations among powers and potentates? Does not policy sometimes induce a cession of territory to prevent a larger portion from being sacrificed? Is not the establishment of monarchical connections, sometimes an object and consideration for a cession? The very instance before us is a convincing proof—the establishment of the King of Etruria in Italy. Honorable gentleman have, however, whenever the treaty has been the subject of debate, expressed their fears, that the treaty of Ildefonso has not been complied fully with by France, that Spain will keep possession, and that we shall be involved in war with that power. The king of Spain's proclamation fully satisfied me
on that head, and I hope, and believe, he will be more prudent than in existing circumstances, to involve himself in war with us. The English nation, after the hand-some letter of Lord Hawkesbury to our minister Mr. King, expressing the approval of his Britannic Majesty of the treaty, cannot in decency interfere; and Bonaparte is bound in honor and good faith, to protect us in the possession of that country; disgrace would cover him and his nation, if he took any part against us. Whom then should we have to contend with? With the bayonets of the intrepid French grenadiers, as the honorable gentleman from Delaware last session told us, or with the enervated, degraded, and emaciated Spaniards? Shall we be told now that we are no match for these emaciated beings.
Last session we were impressed with the necessity of taking immediate possession of the Island of New Orleans in the face of two nations, and now we entertain doubts if we can combat the weakest of these powers, and we are further told we are going to sacrifice the immense sum of fifteen millions of dollars and have to go to war with Spain, for the country afterwards, when last session, war was to take place at all events, and no costs were equal to the object.—Gentlemen seem to be displeased because we have procured it peaceably, and at probably ten times less expence than it would have cost us had we taken forcible possession of New Orleans alone, which I am persuaded would have involved us in a war, which would have saddled us with a debt of from one to two hundred millions, and perhaps have lost New Orleans, and the right of deposit after all. I again repeat, Sir, that I do not believe Spain will venture war with the U. States. I believe she dare not—If she does, she must pay the cost. The Floridas will be immediately ours—they will almost take themselves. The inhabitants pant for the blessings of your equal and wise government; they ardently long to become a part of the United States. An officer duly authorised and armed with the bare proclamation of the President, would go near to take them; the inhabitants by hundreds would flock to his standard, the very Spanish force itself would assist in their reduction; it is composed principally of the Irish brigade and Creoles. The former disaffected and the latter the dregs of mankind. With two or three squadrons of dragoons and the same number of companies of infantry, not a doubt ought to exist of the total conquest of East Florida by any officer of tolerable talents. Exclusive, however, of the loss of the Floridas, to use the language of a late member of Congress, the road to Mexico is now open to us, which if Spain acts in an amicable way—I wish may, and hope will be shut as respects the United States forever.
For these reasons I think, Sir, Spain will avoid a war in which she has nothing to gain, and every thing to lose. But what possession, say the honorable gentlemen, are we to receive, the twig of a tree or the knocker of a door? No, Sir, I reply—but possession of New Orleans, the capital and its defences. By whom, will the honorable gentleman ask? I answer the same men who the honorable gentlemen were so anxious to send forward and take forcible possession the last session, which could not have failed to involve us with the French, for if we had succeeded and taken possession, whose territory should we have violated? Spain was barely the tenant at will of France, and France the real owner. If in private life, I were to enter a house the honorable gentleman had purchased, and kick his tenant out, would he not feel aggrieved and seek redress. So would France, if we had rashly taken the measures proposed, and what should we have had then to do? Flung ourselves at once into the arms of Britain for protection. Is this what the honorable gentlemen wish? It cannot be. I hope, Mr. President, that the citizens of the United States, will never see the day when their defence shall depend on a British army or navy, or the army or navy of any other power on earth. We are happily divided from the distractions and tumults of the eastern world by the Atlantic Ocean, and I trust we shall steer clear of entangling alliances, with any of them.
Mr. President, the honorable gentleman appears to be extremely apprehensive of vesting the powers delegated by the bill now on its passage in the President, and wishes to retain it in the legislature—Is this a legislative or an executive business? assuredly in my mind of the latter nature. The President gave instructions for, and with our consent ratified the treaty—We have given him the power to take possession, which his officers perhaps are at this moment doing and surely as the ostensible party, the representative of the sovereignty, to whom France will alone look—he ought to possess the power of fulfilling our part of the contract—Gentlemen indeed had doubted on a former occasion the propriety of giving the President the power of taking possession and organizing a temporary government which every inferior officer in case of conquest or cession from the general if commanding, has a right to do; but I little expected those doubts after we had gone so far—For my part, Sir, I have none of those fears. I believe the president will be as cautious as ourselves, and the bill is as carefully worded as possible: for the money is not to be paid until after Louisiana shall be placed in our possession.
Sir, it has been observed by a gentleman in debate yesterday (Mr. White,) that Louisiana would become a grievance to us, and that we might as well attempt to prevent fish from swim-
ing in the water, as to prevent our citizens from going across the Mississippi. The honorable gentleman is not so well acquainted with frontier citizens as I am. I see an honorable gentleman in my view, who knows whether or not what I am going to assert be the fact—He was part of the time high in office (Mr. Pickering.) The citizens of the state I represent, scattered along an Indian frontier of from three to four hundred miles, have been restrained, except with one solitary instance, by two or three companies of infantry & a hand full of dragoons, from crossing over into the Indian country; after their own cattle, which no human prudence could prevent from crossing to a fine and more luxuriant range, and this too at a time, when the feelings of Georgians were alive to the injuries they had received by the New York treaty, with the Creek Indians—which took Talasse country from them, and even three commissioners appointed by the United States had reported to the President, that it was bona fide the property of Georgia and sold under as fair a contract as could be formed by a civilized, with an uncivilized society. If the Georgians under these circumstances were restrained from going on their ground, cannot means be devised to prevent citizens from crossing into Louisiana? The frontier people are not the people they are represented—they will listen to reason and respect the laws of the country—It cannot be their wish, it is not their interest to go to Louisiana, or see it settled for years to come—The settlement of it at present would part father and son, brother and brother, and friend and friend, and lessen the value of their lands beyond all calculation.
(Mr. Jackson's Speech to be continued.)
RALEIGH, (N. C.) Dec. 5.
A bed of Gold Ore has lately been discovered in Cabarrus County, in this state, in a Creek running through the land of Mr. John Reed, a native of Hesse Cassel, in Germany, which promises to be a source of great riches to the proprietor. The metal was first found by two or three children of Mr. Reed, who were fishing. They brought a few pieces home to their father, as a curiosity, ignorant of its value. On examination, the ore was found not only to be Gold, but Gold of a very pure quality. Since this discovery, these little boys have picked up daily from 100 to 120 penny weights (worth upwards of 20l. sterling) but the proprietor has lately found a lump of the ore twenty eight pounds weight, which it is supposed, when fluxed will yield twenty seven pounds of pure Gold, and is worth upwards of five thousand six hundred dollars! The facts are assured to us by one of the members of our General Assembly from Cabarrus, now in this city, who has in his possession two specimens of this precious metal, one as it is found and the other as purified.
NEW YORK, December 14.
Captain Murphy, of the ship Swift from Calcutta, informs us that he sailed in company with an English squadron, bound on a secret expedition, supposed to be for Ceylon, serious disturbances having broken out between the Khandian Rajah and the British troops in that island. The whole of the latter in the Upper Provinces had taken the field. The renewal of hostilities between England and France was not known at Calcutta at the time of captain Murphy's sailing.
Arrived yesterday, the ship Swift, Murphy, in 4 months from Calcutta. Left at Calcutta, the ships Neptune, Jeffries, of Philadelphia, to sail in 6 weeks; the Benjamin Franklin, Weeks, of Philadelphia, to sail in 2 months; the Peace and Plenty, of do. sold; the brig Amiable Matilda, Elison, of New York, to sail in 7 weeks; the Palas, of Salem, to sail in 2 weeks; the brig Reward, of do. in 2 days; the ship Essex, of Newburyport, to sail in 6 weeks; the Governor Gilman, of Portsmouth, arrived 2 days before the Swift sailed, the ship Harmony, of Philadelphia, having been under seizure, but was cleared, and all damages paid by the British, to the amount, (capt. Murphy was informed) of 50,000 dollars. The ship Alleghany, from New York, had arrived at Madras. The barque Eliza, White, of Salem, sailed 12 days before the Swift; and the ship Horace, of do. 3 weeks before her. Capt. Murphy stopt at St. Helena on the 29th of October, and sailed again on the first of November. There were no American vessels at that place. An English whaleman had just put in there in distress. Several prizes had recently been sent in there by the cruisers. Spoke, 3 days since, in lat. 38, long. 74 30, the ship Thomas Russell, from Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, December 16.
Yesterday arrived the brig Tace, capt. Thomas in twenty five days from Jeremie. The Tace sailed from Jeremie the 18th ult. and left there the brig Rose, Wing, of and for this port a few days; the schooner Harriet, and Telemachus, of and for Baltimore, to sail soon; the schooner Edward and Edmund, Hartwell, of this port sailed for Port au Prince twelve days before, and was expected back. Coming out of the Bite the Tace was chased by the Republican privateer Regulus, captain Jack Mateur, fitted out at St. Jago de Cuba, for the express purpose of capturing vessels trading with the B Islands; she

had taken the schooner Argus of Baltimore, and had cut out of Cape Donna Maria, the schooner Tartar , Easton, of Baltimore, and sent both vessels for St. Jago. Part of their crews had arrived at Jeremie; they stated that Matuer spared their lives contrary to his instructions from Rochambeau, which were that he should capture all vessels trading with the Brigands, take no prisoners, but put all to death. A large force was collecting in the neighborhood of Jeremie to assist in the siege of Cape Francois. Coffee high and scarce. The Tartar escaped capture by superior sailing.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 16.
Extract of a letter from John M. Forbes, American Consul at Hamburg, to a mercantile house in this city, dated Hamburg, October 14, 1803.
The menaced invasion seems entirely to occupy the government and people of England, to the exclusion of every other object. It will be attempted, or the apprehension of it will be done away, before the next spring. The approaching season will compel the squadron at the mouth of our river to retire, and it is very generally believed that the blockade will not be renewed next year. The supply of foreign goods brought here through indirect channels has been so inadequate to our ordinary consumption, that I will venture to predict, the return of spring will find our market entirely cleared, and prices higher than in any other port in Europe. Although some of the annexed prices may appear very great, yet I am confident that when the ice sets in, a further advance of from 5 to 10 per cent. will take place. If, contrary to general expectation, the blockade of the Elbe should be renewed in the spring, our market will not be exposed to depression by great importations from England, and with an additional expence of from 2 to 3 per cent. goods may be brought here thro' Tonnigen, on the Eyder, Kiel or Lubec in the Baltic, at all which places I shall have agents, who will faithfully attend to forwarding such consignments as may be made to my order (which is the manner of addressing them, I would recommend,) and from the proximity of those places, can personally attend when necessary. The port of Lubec offers much greater advantages than the others, to those who wish to load a return cargo of Russia goods, as they are there to be procured at prices very little advanced on the Petersburg market, and from thence shippers may have a choice of land or water-carriage to this city."

MONDAY, DECEMBER 19.
The attention of the benevolent inhabitants of this place is respectfully called to the following circumstance:—
This morning at day break the subscribers together with most of the neighbours, were alarmed with the cry of fire; it was soon discovered that Peter Billy's green and hot-houses were in flames, we repaired to the spot rather to condole his loss than under any expectation of being serviceable to him, we however assisted him in saving some of his beautiful shrubs and flowers, but many were destroyed together with the houses. The loss to him is great but will we doubt not, be repaired in some good measure by the liberality of our citizens. The industry of the man is so well known as to need no illustration, while we solicit for such a character in the city of Alexandria, we feel conscious it will not be in vain. On some future day we intend waiting on some of the citizens for their donations in behalf of the sufferer.

Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Natchez, dated 22d November.
"Every preparation is making to take possession of Orleans; about 600 men under Gen. Wilkinson will leave this for that place in six or eight days. Mr. C. C. Claiborne and General Wilkinson are appointed commissioners to receive the ceded territory, and Mr. C. C. Claiborne Governor and Intendant of Louisiana for the time being. No opposition is expected to the taking possession of the country."
A gentleman who arrived at New York in the ship Patty , from New Orleans, informs us, that on the 20th ult. he met in the river a Spanish corvette from Havanna, bound up to N. Orleans having on board 150,000 dollars, in part payment of the colonial debt. He learned from this corvette, that the Spanish government did not intend to give up Louisiana.

A gentleman who left Martinique 19 days since, informs, that the noted fast sailing French privateer, which has done so much damage in the capture of vessels, was, on her going into Martinique with a prize, so closely pursued by a British frigate that she put into an out port of that island. The British landed men, took the fort, and cut the privateer out, and made a prize of her. This privateer is a large schooner, and one of the fastest sailing vessels in the West-Indies—She had often been chased by British cruisers, but never overtaken. Her capture therefore, is extremely valuable, considering the success with which such a vessel may cruise.
Departed this life, on Sunday the 11th inst. at his seat in Dorchester county (Maryland) after a short illness, William Vans Murray , esq. late minister from the United States at the Hague, and minister plenipotentiary to the French republic.
As a statesman, Mr. Murray stood high, and filled with integrity the several departments which his country had confided to his trust—particularly in bringing about the settlement of the late unhappy difference that existed between the United States and the French Republic.

A Glance at Europe.
Few periods have occurred in the history of ambition more stupendously important than the present. Two rival nations, either of which, were the other extinct, might be considered as equal to the conquest of the world, about to cast the last die for pre-eminence in power, perhaps for existence.
On the one side we behold a youthful Warrior, crowned with many laurels, to whose will and plans the resources, talents, and capacities of thirty millions of people are obedient and assistant. On the opposite side, an ancient King, and a gallant nobility, with a people little practised in war, and not more than half so numerous as their adversaries.
Will, or will not, this youthful warrior, with his thirty millions, prevail over this ancient monarch, who counts but half that number of subjects?
Who can answer this question! Perhaps at this very moment Bonaparte is pouring upon the coasts of Albion and Ierne his numerous armies; their eyes inflamed with the view of plunder, and their hearts palpitating with lust!—Who can declare what may, at this instant, be the fate of England!—We confess ourselves inadequate to the task. Nevertheless it is not forbidden to us to offer our conjectures, however feeble.
The fate of England, and consequently of the British Empire, will not depend, in our humble conjecture, neither upon its Navy, its Banks, its Manufactures, its Commerce, nor its city of London. Bonaparte may elude or deceive the vigilance of the navy; or force the bank of England from the capital, and the state into new and uncommon measures to carry on the war; he may suspend, distress, or destroy, various branches of manufactures and commerce, by his operations, his arts, and policy; and he may sack and pillage London. All this, and more, Bonaparte may accomplish without the attainment of his object. Were the ancient Romans subdued by the loss and destruction of Rome? Were the Athenians reduced by the capture of Athens? Was the possession of Boston, N. York, Philadelphia and Charleston, followed by the conquest of the United States? What saved these nations from servitude, and enabled them to repel their invaders? It was Enthusiasm !—Should this holy fire pervade the British nation, the armies of Bonaparte must be defeated, and England rise from the tremendous contest triumphant and glorious.
It is enthusiasm only that can enable England, singly and unassisted, to contend with this modern Alexander. It is enthusiasm only, directed by the best skill of the nation that can transform the peop into warriors, & ensur their safety.—If enthusiasm be wanting, to the people; if the mass of Englishmen prefer the " Enlightened government of France " to their own government, the race of Bonaparte to the race of Branswick ; if they make their ease, their wealth, their counting houses, their manufactures, and their commerce, the idols of their worship, and look with indifference on " the bloody arena, spread before them "; no ability of their statesmen, however great, not all the resources of their empire, however, vast, can save them. They must fall; and Bonaparte become the star dirigent of nations.
We are happy to perceive by the latest news-paper accounts, that something like this animating spirit has manifested itself in every part of the kingdom. But on this subject so little is known, that nothing can be said with certainty. A short time must now bring things to a crisis; and we must therefore wait, until facts speak for the people, & solve the important question.
Preparations for assault and defence progress with an unremitting ardor; but when they may be put into use is beyond the reach of conjecture; we have no pleasure in anticipating that moment; but when it does arrive, we entertain no fears for the result.
We are far from agreeing with those who will have it, that the First Consul's only intention is to exhaust the resources of the English, by continual shew of preparation, and threats of invasion, without any real design to make a trial of his power. Bonaparte has, before all Europe, vowed the conquest of England. His fame is deposited; and he must redeem it, or fall with it.
That the other nations of Europe should quietly regard those movements, is matter of unceasing astonishment. On the issue perhaps of the first blow may depend the existence of each and all of them. Let the Tyrant of France succeed in subduing England, and he becomes the Tyrant of the world. There is power enough on the continent to arrest his progress; but there
is either great pusillanimity or deep intrigue in the way to paralyze this power. The love of mankind makes us sincerely wish that they may not too soon have to lament their present indifference.

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 forness 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. Asaph 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 unskilful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lymphs, &c. &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be as truly remarkable in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumption,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obstinate 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 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. &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-Street, 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 fever's 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, 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 humors and vapours; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the softest 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 Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted rums—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 fecal stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular merits are abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mercurius but upon close inspection 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 occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.

The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration which is essential to health.

Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER for the TEETH and GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, by a forcing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.

Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH ACHE DROPS.

The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.

RAN-AWAY,
From the subscriber living in Fauquier County, a negro man named
ZACHARY.
HE is a very tall black fellow, clean limbed, has lost the finger next the little one on his left hand, flutters much in speaking, and is about 20 years old.
He was at Mr. Travis Daniel's in Stafford, about a fortnight ago, and had a pass certifying him to be a free man, said to be signed with the name of the Clerk of Fauquier. I will give Thirty Dollars to any person delivering me the said negro in Fauquier county, and all lawful charges, and Two Dollars extra for his pass, or Twenty Dollars for lodging him in any jail, so that I get him again.

ELEGANT EDITION
OF
The HOLY BIBLE.
PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription, (in four handsome octavo volumes)
THE HOLY BIBLE,
CONTAINING
The Old and New Testaments.
CONDITIONS.
It shall be printed on a superior wove paper, with an elegant new type. The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars per vol. in boards, or Two Dollars and Fifty Cents, handsomely bound and lettered. To those who subscribe for several copies, a discount will be made, proportioned to the number subscribed for.
THE advantage of having this invaluable Book printed on a large type, and, at the same time, in portable and convenient volumes, appears so evident, that the encouragement necessary to warrant an undertaking of such magnitude, is confidently expected; a portable volume would often be taken up, in a moment of leisure, when the size of a large, unwieldy folio, would operate as an apology for leaving it unspensed; in this way, small portions of time would be profitably employed, which might otherwise be totally lost. In large families a Bible in volumes, affording an opportunity for several to read at once, may sometimes be peculiarly convenient; it seems superfluous to add much on this subject—suffice it to say, that no reasonable expense or pains shall be spared, to render this edition of the Holy Scriptures both correct and elegant. The above work is in press, and will be finished about the end of the present year.
Subscriptions received by R. and J. Gray, King Street, where a specimen of the paper and printing may be seen.
