Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the INDIAN QUEEN TAVERN, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on. on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO, A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing some thing less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO, My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence. (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO, The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE. All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

We received last Saturday from our correspondent at the Havana, several numbers of the Aurora of that city, from which the following translations are made.
N. Y. Evening Post.
SEVILLE, June 11. —On the 4th inst. an anonymous letter was received here, written at Bayonne, and dated the 29th May, which states the prince of Neufchatel, and the high steward Duroc, with a number of Generals and Aids-de-Camp went on the 16th a league from Bayonne, to receive Ferdinand 7th, and accompanied him to the house which was intended for his residence. The emperor came immediately to visit him with a great retinue, and was received by Ferdinand at the door where they embraced, Napoleon assuring him that they were friends. The visit being ended, he invited him to dine at 5 in the afternoon, leaving at his departure a guard of honor and at four in the afternoon he sent his coach to bring him.—Afterwards the emperor and Ferdinand 7th had various conferences, in one of which the former offered the latter, the crown of Etruria and to marry him to his niece: but Ferdinand refused to agree to his proposal and persisted in his refusal at other meetings—at some of which the minister of state, Cevallos assisted.
Four days after, the guard of honor departed, leaving only one soldier of the national guard of Bayonne, and the coach was also taken away. Conferences became very frequent, and Napoleon made the grandees responsible with their heads for the person of their master. All these conferences were for no other purpose than to gain time for the arrival of the other royal personages—notwithstanding that, Napoleon had already intimated to Ferdinand, the extinction of the dynasty of the Bourbons; but he insisted that he should accept the kingdom of Etruria, to which Ferdinand anew replied, that he disregarded all Crowns but his own, that he wished only for the power of making his nation happy, and to die among the SPANIARDS.
On the 6th there was a Grand Council, at which the Emperor, Charles 4th and his own son Ferdinand, the Queen, the Infant Don Carlos, and all the Grandees and Ministers of the two nations who were at Bayonne assisted, and which lasted five hours and an half; various points were discussed, and Napoleon then offered to Ferdinand 7th the crown of Naples, and to the Infant Don Carlos, that of Etruria. But these offers like the former, were disdained, and the minister Cevallos having taken up the discourse, spoke with boldness to the Emperor upon principles of diplomacy for five quarters of an hour, but without effect; the emperor ordered him to retire. The minister Gomez Labrador insisted for some time on the principles of Cevallos, but at last the extinction of the dynasty was resolved upon, and 6 hours were given to Ferdinand 7th, to make his renunciation. This was done in the following words:
Seeing that the Emperor assures me that the people of Madrid are divided into parties, of that of my father being superior to mine, that the former in an attack on the 2d of this month killed 11,000 persons and demanded that I should resign the crown to my father, or that otherwise he will put my partisans to the sword, I have determined to make the renunciation which I never intended, for which there is no reason, as the Emperor knows: and although every thing which I am told, appears to me doubtful, I make the renunciation to avoid the effusion of blood, protesting that it shall be null and of no validity if the facts related to me are untrue, of all which I call to witness God and the French people. In the same manner I protest against the renunciation of the principality of Asturias, which I reserve to myself forever, trusting in Providence that I shall resume the throne of Spain to make her happy, I recommend to my nation to exert herself to maintain her religion and independence against the common enemy, whom none knew better than my beloved subjects, when they publicly counselled me not to trust myself to the simulated friendship of the French government.
June 19. —By a letter received from don Pedro Valdecasas, commander of the corps of observation of our van, intended to harass the wings of the enemy, we learn, that the French army has raised the camp from before Cordovan. It is believed that they
intend to repass the Sierra (ridge of mountains) and return to Madrid; but as their intention may be different, this supreme council has taken all the necessary measures either to receive them, if their purpose is to make an attack elsewhere, or to harass them on their march. At the same time the council has written to his excellency general don Francisco Xavier Castanos, to execute such military operation as he shall judge most proper according to existing circumstances.
A letter from Andujar of the 9th June, states the following: This day this city rose against the French who occupied it, and proclaimed Ferdinand VII. They took all the French belonging to the army; and their commander and three of his guard who made resistance, were killed in the house of don Juan Saizar; this affair happened at one o'clock in the morning.
June 21. —We have learned by a commissioner who has arrived from the Junta of Badajoz, that about 200 French having presented themselves with intent to pass the bridge of Guadiana, they were attacked and driven back with loss. In Estremadura are more than 40,000 men ready for action, and every day there arrives here Spanish soldiers, and even sometimes regiments of cavalry from our army in Portugal.
By letters from Lisbon of the 24th of last month, the accounts are confirmed of the continued desertion of our soldiers, and of the scarcity of provisions which is suffered there so that the horses eat straw, which is the best food which can be procured for them. Compare this information with the Madrid Journal of the 19th May, which affirms that "there are provisions in abundance and at moderate prices," and it will be seen with what distrust intelligence from that place should be received.
The Successful Appeal.
The following address and appeal to the Spanish nation was first published at Cadiz, anonymously, but immediately circulated through all parts of the kingdom, in consequence of the delivery of the prince of peace to Napoleon, when the designs of the latter upon the crown of Spain began to be very manifest; & to the animated production of this unknown author is attributed the cause of the first and general movements, which commenced nearly at the same moment in all the provinces. It is now translated from a copy under date of "Cadiz 14th of May introduced nearly as above."
(N. Y. Gaz.)
SPANIARDS,
YOUR suffering for more than eighteen years under a government the most tyrannical and monstrous of all that have ever existed, has conducted you to the extremity from which a foreigner, elevated by accident, admitted through the innocence of a people who sighed for liberty, and sustained by the inconstant genius of the French, has the barbarous pretension of dividing our country, for reducing us to an eternal and shameful servitude, as he has affected in other states; abusing their candor and simple credulity, after they had submitted themselves to his protection and power.
He has even had the audacity of protecting and granting honors to don Manuel Godoy, the chief of those abominable delinquents who have loaded you with opprobrium, who was even already a prisoner, and upon the point of suffering the punishment which he had merited. Through these means he attempted to irritate you and divide you into parties; but the discerning Spaniards will know only to swear concord among themselves, and to revenge the country.
Assassination, perfidies, treasons, deceptions & the ignorance of the principal governments of Europe, have favored his ambition and his tyranny. The duke de Enguia was taken by violence from a neutral country, conducted in a military manner to Paris, and within twenty four hours after his arrival, was shot, without forms, without regular trial, and without even proceeding to any manifestation of what they might be able to assign as the nature of his crimes—in this procedure violating the sacred rights of nations, outraging humanity, and committing a cruel and atrocious assassination. The Hollanders, the Swiss, and the Poles, have been victims of his perfidy; inasmuch as he has forfeited his formal and public assurances; neither preserving their integrity, or leaving them a free vote for their constitutional government. Every thing has been outrag-
* From an American gentleman, now here, (Havanna) who was in Cadiz at the time, I learn that it was attributed to the pen of the Count de Montejo; a patriotic nobleman who it is also said, travelled through almost every province in Spain, exciting the principal inhabitants to oppose the French usurpation? and which accounts for their general rising almost on the same day.
ed, in order to enthrone some relatives who had no merit, reason nor title for so audacious an elevation. The Italians and the Bavarians bewail their servitude, after they have been deceived. The Germans, Prussians, and Russians have been defeated and destroyed, because they live under governments vicious and corrupt, and whose sovereigns are devoid of understanding.
Such, doubtless would have been our lot if the Supreme Being, full of bounteous goodness towards Spain, had not watched for its cause; and we should have remained in the calamitous and deplorable state, in which we were but a few days past. Although there should be no more than the unexampled bravery and constancy of honorable Spaniards, sufficient would be their title to shed the last drop of blood and to make the tyrant Napoleon tremble.
To the peace which France made with Spain in the year 1795, it owes the victories and triumphs which it eventually obtained in Italy and in the north: and to that same peace the tyrant Napoleon owes the usurpation of the throne on which he now sits.
From his alliance, we have already had two cruel and disastrous wars with England; and our fathers, sons and brothers were by those more than once, traitorously and ignominiously slaughtered. By his alliance we have sacrificed the immense treasures of America and Spain; and it has been the pretext by which the many monsters of our past government have robbed us, and reduced us to misery. By his alliance we have 25,000 valliant and illustrious Spaniards out of the country, shedding their blood in a foreign cause. And in fine, through his alliance and the traitors whom the same has nominated, our most faithful and esteemed brethren, the Portuguese, have been invaded. Unhappy people! They have suffered contributions the most enormous, and injustice the most vile and oppressive; they themselves complain, and have no succor but that of ours, they consider us as the authors of their servitude; they invoke our aid, and which we cannot deny them without being guilty of the greatest inhumanity. Their cause is ours, and the same with that of Spain, and of Ferdinand VII.
And in exchange for all our sacrifices, with what does the tyrant of France reward us?—with desiring and resolving our slavery, and the triumph of a tyranny still more complete! His acknowledgement, his gratitude and protection for such immense sacrifices and sufferings, to what do they amount?—to shed our blood, to slaughter our wives and our children, to arrest our right of punishing a villain, to entrap our infant Don Carlos, and our innocent king Ferdinand in order to extort from them the iniquitous delivery of the prisoner Godoy, and in fine, to disgrace us forever.
And can there be a Spaniard who is not filled with horror, and who flies not to avenge his country against a conduct which is not equalled in the Tiberias's nor in the most renowned tyrants who have afflicted humanity.
Spaniards! to arms! Noble, generous and valliant as ye are, do not forget your country: bring to mind the times when Charles V. the Cid, the Cortes's, and the Dukes of Alva, made the New World, Africa, Italy, and even France itself to tremble; remember, Francis I. was once a prisoner in your Capital, and that for a long period the French bewailed the battle of Roncavalle! Your cause is the most just of any which the world has known; it embraces your liberty, your honor, and an innocent people who loves you from his heart, and who has not been the least victim of those sufferings and calamities which you yourselves have experienced. Let your oath be "Long live Ferdinand VII. and death to all their enemies!"
Kingdoms and Provinces—send your deputies to the court, in order to organize a form of government that may avert future disasters and abuses; punish the real traitors, and fix upon them the marks of infamy. Arm ye, at a moment—Fly to Madrid—Spare not for the present the blood of the enemy—and may every satellite of tyranny perish! Swear love and harmony. May Spain and honor be your tutelary Deities; and let your ancient parents and your women alone remain to preserve your dwellings and your fields—War and destruction to the tyrants; and may the country triumph!
From the Federal Republican.
General Charles C. Pinckney.
The high and honorable character, the unblemished reputation, and tried patriotism of this gentleman, have secured to him the esteem and veneration even of political adversaries. The venomous breath of slander has not dared to taint the purity of his name, and the bitter asimony of political opposition has produced no other semblance of accusation against him, than that he is warmly attached to the principles of our immortal WASHINGTON. Yes, fellow-citizens, even in these times, when the epithet of tory is so familiarly applied to many active partisans of our glorious revolution, that it has lost its meaning, and is regarded as the mere effusion of vulgarity and folly, the pure and undivided attachment of Gen. Pinckney to his country, is admitted.
While the votaries of faction are thus awed into silence by the imposing aspect of spot-
less virtue, does it become Federal Republicans to be lukewarm in their efforts to render his talents and integrity useful to the country? Shall the fate of the nation at such an important crisis, be committed to visionary politicians, to the corrupt leaders of factions, in preference to an experienced statesman, whose past conduct is a pledge to his countrymen of his zeal and ability to promote their interests? We hope not—we hope that all true Americans, whose hearts are not corrupted by a devoted and wicked attachment to a foreign power, will unite with one voice in saying that CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY is the man of their choice—that the present is not a time for philosophical presidents—that the affairs of the nation must be committed to a sound statesman, a man of practical knowledge, of undaunted firmness, and of energetic character.
FROM THE SAME.
A comparison of the peculiar merits of the two Candidates for the Presidency.
No. 1.
FIRMNESS.
This is a quality which even the partizans of Mr. Madison hardly venture to ascribe to him. His yielding policy, his want of political courage have had too fatal an effect upon our affairs. This distinguishing feature in his character we may trace in all those actions which are peculiarly his own, and in the politics of our cabinet, where his influence is unbounded. But we need adduce no other proof than his declaration to Mr. Randolph, "FRANCE WANTS MONEY AND WE MUST GIVE IT TO HER." When we ascribe this sentiment to timidity, we give a construction the most favorable to Mr. Madison. Indeed we think it might proceed from French influence, but even this influence may have its origin in fear.
Compare this conduct with that of General Pinckney. When ambassador to the perfidious government of France, he maintained the interests and honor of his country with the spirit of a true American. Unawed by threats, uninfluenced by apprehensions for his personal safety, he refused to listen to the degrading propositions of a band of murderers, but treated their offers with proper contempt. When the infamous idea of TRIBUTE was suggested, what was his reply? "The American people are an independent and great, the infant nation—they will give millions for the defence of their rights, and privileges & country, but not a cent for tribute." Such was the answer of a patriot, of a man who would suffer no personal considerations to interfere with his duty, and who was resolved, at all hazards, to maintain the honor of his country. Had Mr. Madison been in his situation, it is but fair to infer, from his usual conduct, that his answer would have been in this style:—"Since France is very much in want of money, we cannot refuse to give it to her."
SALEM, September 3.
Arrived brig Martha, from Richmond, having lost her master, Mr. Samuel Symonds. The Martha is the same unfortunate vessel that was towed into this port a few years since, bottom upwards, belonging to the eastward, and all her crew perished. She has now, in three short, successive voyages, lost three masters.
BEVERLY, September 3.
On Saturday arrived the ship Hope, Lovett, 23 days from Havanna. Left there, August 10, ships Bordeaux, Law, of New York, from Marseilles, via Bermuda, discharging; Dispatch, Singleton, of Philadelphia, from Cadiz, bound to Cadiz; Republican, Newhall, for N. York, 2; Hope, Edes, of Charleston, taken by an American gun-boat and carried into Havanna, and after a strict examination of every part of her lading (ballast) in expectation of finding provisions, she was placed in the hands of the American consul for further investigation; schooner Iris, Russell, of Salem, with salt, discharging. The schooner Agnes sailed for Boston the 9th August. Lat. 34, long. 71, spoke ship Union, of Plymouth, from Dublin, via Cowes, for Charleston, s. c. had been taken by a French privateer and retaken by the English. Off Gayhead, the U. S. schooner Revenge, on a cruise. Passed in Vineyard sound a U. S. gun-boat.—Boarded by the U. S. brig Argus off cape Ann, and after examining the papers permitted to proceed; at the same time a large ship in sight, supposed to be the Chesapeake; off Baker's island was boarded by a revenue cutter—all on cruising ground to American vessels suspected of violating the embargo laws. Died from ship Hope, at the Havanna, Mr. John B. Prince, supercargo; John Schroder, carpenter; Thomas Peneris, William Hamlin, Benjamin Boardman and David Ramsdell, seamen. Persons authorised are requested to call on captain Lovett for adjustment of their accounts.
Capt. Lovett, from the Havanna, informs us, that the Spaniards of Cuba are determined to maintain their independence, even

Spain should be reduced under the French. The French had 12 ships of the line at the time of his sailing to leave the island. Their situation had been extremely dangerous there, from the wrath of the Spaniards; some had been assassinated, others had spoken lightly of the Spanish, and saying that the Spaniards would be suppressed by Bonaparte. They were not allowed such language. Capt. Lopez had lost several of his hands shipped, and having lost several of his hands shipped, he was glad to have the opportunity to get away.
The large Boston Packet, Smith, of this port (which sailed "by permission") arrived at Surinam, after a passage of 57 days. Two days after her arrival, seven of her crew left her, and entered on board English merchant vessels, where the wages were very high, said to be 40 dollars per month; on board the Packet they had only 7 dollars. It will be difficult to replace the men there, as the vessel is a very fast one. Thus does the cargo "keep in safety these essential requisites," our seamen, by driving them into foreign employment. A fleet was soon to sail for Surinam for England, which were to take home a large quantity of molasses, the price of which was consequently high. The price was about half the price of last year, the market being well supplied by the Nova Scotia men; other American articles low.
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13.
Colonel Gibbs, a passenger in the Arcurus, was informed, when in Paris, that an attack had been contemplated on the Austrian dominions before the disturbances in Spain broke out. That Austria was more formidable than Spain, and have organized a force of 400,000 men.
(Post. Rep.) The people is a monster that must be muzzled, says Bonaparte to the Spaniards. This lesson which he long since taught to Mr. Jefferson; and that accounts for the difficulty which congress have uniformly found in obtaining from him any information respecting our relations with France—he had been muzzled. (U. S. Gaz.)
DEMOCRATIC FEELINGS AND SENTIMENTS.
The following extract is from a democratic paper:
The Spanish people seem to be still bent upon insurrection—there is little doubt, however, that the power of Napoleon will soon reduce them to order and submission. It is thus that democrats speak of the glorious efforts of a brave people struggling to be free. Their resistance to illegal and usurping tyranny is styled insurrection, and the bloody despotism of Napoleon Bonaparte is termed order. Oh! shame! How naturally are the opinions of men directed by their wishes! The spies and agents of Bonaparte in America pray for his success they anxiously wish it, and therefore believe it. But we have a confidence that the favours of a benignant providence will smile upon the glorious exertions of a band of patriots. We believe that the energy of enthusiasm will overpower discipline and numbers, and that Spain will be free. We can scarcely doubt this event. (Fed. Repub.)
The mail of last evening brought the President's Answer to the Newburyport Petition. He says he cannot repeal the Embargo. —Newburyport Herald.
PROOFS RISE ON PROOFS!
Will it be again denied that the Embargo is a permanent measure? We have already said, over and over again, that we believe nothing would induce Mr. Jefferson to remove the embargo until his favorite scheme is accomplished—the annihilation of commerce,—it becomes more and more necessary that the people should act with spirit, with energy and decision. After October the people will not have an opportunity to express their opinions for two years. It is, therefore, a solemn duty enjoined upon them, to demand an immediate relief from this most ruinous and oppressive measure. ibid.
A MISTAKE. —Cheetham recommends a repeal of the embargo law as the only means of saving the democratic party. He ascribes the change in New Hampshire and Rhode Island to this oppressive act and to no other cause. We very much question whether even a repeal of this law would restore the popularity of our present rulers. While they exhibit such evident marks of partiality to a French tyrant, the freemen of this country will continue to view them with suspicion. The past measures of government cannot be recalled. A plan for the annihilation of commerce has been acted upon, and even should a change take place, the people will not be deluded, but will set the whole down to its proper account, a fear of losing popularity.
But as Mr. Cheetham has suggested a repeal of the embargo law, we will mention a few other necessary measures to be adopted, provided Mr. Jefferson wishes to regain the nation's confidence:
 Let gen. Wilkinson be removed from his command in the army.  Let Duane return to his printing-office.  Put the nation in a state of defence.  And shew a determination to resist all attacks upon our honor and our rights, from whatever quarter they may proceed. 
Confess that your conduct has been weak, and your intentions wicked—and then perhaps the nation may pardon you, though when men have proved themselves unworthy of confidence, it is better not to trust them.

Extract of a letter from a correspondent, dated,
"NEW-ORLEANS, Aug. 14, 1808. "I have nothing of importance to communicate. The taking of a few deserters out of the Spanish territory, has occasioned some noise at Baton Rouge, but the governor of that place is so weak in force, that it must all end in smoke.
"This city has been disturbed for some time past, by a number of French and Spanish sailors, who were joined by the city patrol, for the purpose of whipping the American sailors. The city is now tranquil; how long it will remain so I cannot say—but fear the recent tumults are the prelude to greater mischief.
"I may say, we have no police; there does not appear to be sufficient energy in the municipal administration, to make the persons employed, do their duty, or to dismiss unworthy ones."
A woman being brought before Simon Snyder, when a justice of the peace, to be examined, and appearing to have an uncommon share of confidence, for the female sex, Simon observed, "Madam, there is brass enough in your face to make a five gallon kettle." "Yes," (answered she) "and there is sap enough in your head to fill it." (Phil. Tickler.)
HUMOROUS ANECDOTE.
We copy the following humorous anecdote from Lyle's Itinerant, or the Memoirs of an Actor, and in justice to the author, we cannot but say, we were very much amused by the first and second volumes, which are just come out. We also give it as a caution to youth, to make them suppress those passions which, when criminally indulged, always lead to mortification, if not to ruin. We cannot do better than subjoin the author's Mother's Advice, who, upon all occasions, seems a very sensible and discreet woman, indeed she appears to be a person of no ordinary stamp.
[Liverpool Courant.]
"Amongst my acquaintance, there was one, whom I unfortunately selected as my bosom friend, merely because his inclination for the stage was equally strong as my own; though at the same time he had other predominant evil propensities, which I was fortunate enough to discover, ere I had fallen a sacrifice to them. One night we both were penniless, yet see the play we must; what was to be done? "I have it," said Tom, "keep an eye to the door, and the first time the stage keeper comes out, we can slip behind the scenes; I'll hide in one of the lumber chests, and you shall creep into Magog." Magog was a large figure,
made to represent the giant of that name; he had been used in a pantomime at the beginning of the season, but now stood behind the scenes; the body was hollow, and large enough to contain a moderate sized man; the limbs were so constructed that by pulling a rope, the whole figure would drop to pieces; this hollow piece of mechanism had served Tom for a hiding place before; as we had planned, so it succeeded; I found myself safely lodged in the carcase of Magog with the pleasing certainty of seeing the play, by creeping out the first opportunity, and presenting myself, as if just come from the front of the house. I was scarcely fixed in my new habitation, when the stage keeper returned, accompanied by the manager, who gave orders to prepare every thing for the representation of the pantomime, which was to be exhibited in lieu of the farce advertised, owing to the indisposition of a favorite performer. Alarmed to agitation, I determined to facilitate my escape the moment their backs were turned; but, unfortunately, the first preparation was begun upon the giant: the ropes were properly fixed, the head fitted to the body, and the monster drawn from the wall, to be in greater readiness for his appearance. "He's confounded heavy," said the carpenter. "I wish he was lighter," thought I. All my hopes of escape vanished; to creep out in his present tottering situation was impossible, without throwing down the whole apparatus; this I durst not risk, but I made a solemn resolution, if I escaped discovery this time, never to be guilty of the like in future.
"Three hours passed, the most painful I had ever known. The scene drew up, Magog was discovered, the different characters skipping about with the greatest alacrity, till one entered, dressed as a landlord with a large bowl of punch, which, after some time, was poured down Magog's throat, and bedewed me in a plentiful manner. Almost suffocated with heat, the cold contents of the bowl were tolerably pleasant at the moment; but the consequence was a violent cold and fever, which confined me nearly a month afterwards: at length Harlequin gave the necessary signal, the figure dropped to pieces, and discovered its contents, to the surprise and astonishment of every body; covered with cobwebs and dirt, wet to the skin, pale and trembling with fear, the house roared with laughter. Not long did I continue their spectacle; but took to my heels, overturning every thing that stood in my way, and rued the time I first thought of getting into Magog.
"As it was more than probable the affair would get wind, I determined to relate the whole without disguise. My father said "I was rightly served; he hoped it would, teach me to be above such mean dirty tricks in future." My mother's mind was greatly hurt at my exposure, and her generous heart grieved, that I should be reduced to such shifts for money. "My dear son," said the best of parents, whilst the tear of affection stole down her cheek. "I am filled with shame and sorrow; the principles of honor and honesty, which your father and I have laboured so long to inculcate, are, I fear, dying away, and in their place profligacy has taken root; how am I to account for this? What company do you keep? be cautious in that particular, 'tis the rock on which many an hopeful bark has split—you are now arrived at years of discretion, and we can do no more than advise, but remember your future happiness, or misery, depend upon the choice of your companions; ever be above a mean action—deny yourself trifling gratifications, rather than submit to receive them at the price of your integrity; be mindful of my advice—make a proper use of my indulgence, and your purse shall be supplied as far as our straitened circumstances will allow." With this admonition I received a guinea. Such generous conduct had a greater effect upon me than the most severe chastisement; I weighed her counsel, determined to alter my conduct, and avoid my old companion with studied care;

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 1, Budd-street, Philadelphia
Nov. 11, 1800
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
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 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.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lace remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and
will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton— Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply st George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now re-covering his strength with great rapidity.
