As the completion of the Little River Turnpike Road is an object of primary importance to the people of Alexandria, and the country connected with it in commerce, the President and Directors deem it their duty to submit to the public the following statement of what has been effected, and what remains to be done to secure the accomplishment of this great work of public utility:—
THE first ten miles of the road having been paved, was submitted to the view of commissioners, agreeably to the terms of the LAW, who having approved the same, the governor of Virginia authorised the erection of turnpike gates thereon. The gates have accordingly been erected, and tolls collected for some weeks past. In addition to this, the road has been opened, preparatory to paving, up to the Gum Spring road, about a mile from the Gum Spring.
The total expenditure in the execution of the aforementioned work has been,    Dollars, 43,320   Of which sum there has been paid for lands over which the road passes, and expences of condemnation, 2,467   For opening and clearing the road above the part completed, say, 2,500   For repairs of paved part of the road previous to the establishment of the gates, 1,000   For a machine for repairing road, 250   For ploughs and tools now on hand, 150   6,367 
The balance, 36,953 dollars, is, therefore, the cost of the ten miles of pavement, including the expence of a bridge built over Accotink run, which sum is equal to 3698 dollars 30 cents per mile. It is here to be remarked, that the road already made passes over ground much more difficult and hilly than that which remains to be made; from which very considerable expences were incurred beyond what will be necessary in levelling any equal distance of the remainder of the road; the whole expence of making which cannot (it is believed) hereafter exceed the average cost of 2500 dollars per mile. This opinion is further strengthened by the consideration that in the commencement of the work it was a business entirely new to all concerned in conducting it, but that experience has since greatly improved their skill and information upon the subject. The amount of the money for the shares subscribed having been thus expended, a new subscription must necessarily be opened immediately, when it is expected that the public spirit of the inhabitants of Alexandria, and of the counties westward thereof, will give an impulse to the work, that will produce a speedy accomplishment of this most desirable object. The amount of money received at the gates since their erection, fully warrants the opinion, that the stock, under all the present disadvantages attending the road, will produce a profit of ten per cent. per annum to the holder, and will, at a period not very distant, give an interest of fifteen per cent. which is the limitation to the profits fixed by law. This well founded expectation of profit will alone be a sufficient inducement to the mooded man to invest his capital in the stock; but when, in addition to this, the advantages to be expected from the road are duly appreciated by the agriculturalists who take their produce to Alexandria, and by the merchants and tradesmen resident therein, assuredly every member of the community will feel it his interest and duty to give the subscription his prompt and liberal aid.
The people of Alexandria are not ignorant of the great efforts which the BALTIMOREANS are making, by means of turnpike roads, to attract to THEIR city, the whole trade of the back country; nor can any thing be more apparent, than that those efforts can be alone counteracted by similar exertions on the part of the ALEXANDRIANS. The appeal to the landholder must be equally effectual, when he reflects on all the important advantages of an easy intercourse with his market town; and that the increased price of the produce of his lands will keep pace with the prosperity of the town, and that the price of the lands themselves will be consequently augmented far beyond the most sanguine expectations of any man unacquainted with the effect of those improvements in other parts of the United States.

STATE PAPER.
WE, ALEXANDER the FIRST, by the grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias,
Make known to our faithful subjects,
That even by our uninterrupted care for the internal prosperity of our empire, we have not ceased to carry our attention to its external relations. It was always our wish to place these relations upon a firm foundation, for the good of our country, and to secure them by treaties the most advantageous to the state of our empire. With this view, we thought it necessary, from the beginning of our reign, to settle the causes of the then existing differences, and to unite ourselves in friendly bonds to those powers whose wise and moderate principles were founded upon the preservation of their independence and general tranquility. The Almighty crowned our endeavors, and Europe received peace. But by his impenetrable resolution, this state of affairs was not to be of long duration: the flame of war broke out once more. In conformity with our resolution we took no active part in the war, but our alliances and our sincere wish for the general prosperity and tranquility, induced us continually to employ our friendly representations towards the re-establishment of peace. But soon after, the French government, which then began to threaten the safety of our allies, forced us to take an active part in the war.
But even then, when we had taken up arms, we did not cease to wish for peace; and declared, therefore, that the fulfilment of our sacred alliances, and the re-establishment of general peace were our sole views. The fortune of war, which was unfavorable to the allied arms, stopped for a while the execution of this design; but did not alter the principles upon which it was founded. At the commencement of this year, the French government professed some readiness towards a friendly accom-
modation, and we thereupon determined immediately to enter with the same in closer negotiation, the basis of which should be, preservation of peace conformable to the honor and security of our empire, and that of our allies, and the peace of Europe: But, to our great regret, the conditions proposed by France did not answer either with the dignity of our empire, nor to the advantage of our allies—we therefore refused to confirm these conditions.
But to shew, at the same time, the immutability of our views, which in the midst of different events are always carried to the same point, we have not failed to propose the means and basis whereupon we are inclined to renew our negotiations with the French government.
The basis of our proposition is, first, so very moderate that it cannot be refused without threatening the general security; and, secondly, so much to the advantage of each of the powers therein concerned, that by their acceptance a general and lasting peace will be re-established in Europe.
Thus will peace, or the continuance of the war depend upon the consequences of our views; we wish for peace, but if we are unable to procure a lasting one, found upon reciprocal advantages, then shall we, putting aside all treaties of accommodation, think it our duty, for the honor of the Russian name, the safety of our country, the sanctity of our alliances, and the general salvation of Europe, to proceed to such extremities which, after due consideration, may be found absolutely necessary.
We are convinced that the Providence of the Most High, who protects truth, will cover our righteous cause with his arm. We are convinced that our faithful subjects, always animated with love for their country, always guided by honor and courage, and surrounded by the great examples of zeal shown for our native land, will unite their strength with ours, as soon as the safety of Russia, the voice of honor, and our commands will call upon them to act for the general good.
In a firm reliance on the assistance of God Almighty, and on the zeal of all our faithful subjects, we have thought it necessary to inform them forthwith of our intentions and thereby to give them a new proof that in all our actions we neither desire the extension of our territories, nor the vain renown of victories; but that our wishes and means will be employed for the establishment of general security, for the support of our treaties, and for the protection and dignity of our empire.
Given at St. Petersburg, the 10th Sept. 1806, in the 6th year of our reign.
ALEXANDER.
Countersigned. The minister for foreign affairs, ANDREI BUDBERG.
After hearing read this most high manifesto, the directing senate thought it to be their duty, on the 16th September, in the general assembly of the different departments of the senate of St. Petersburg, to carry their submissive thanks to his Imperial majesty, by means of their elected deputies, viz. The general field marshal and knight count Nicholas Iwanowitsch Saltykow, and the private counsellor and knight count Alexander Serjeiwisch Strongonow which was effected on the 17th with the following words:
Most Gracious Sovereign. The directing senate hold it for a duty to express before your most high throne, with due submission, the sentiments of boundless attachment and gratitude, which the manifeste of your Imperial majesty, of the tenth instant, published for general information, has every where created.
The senate is convinced that all the faithful subjects in the extensive Russian empire, and all the nations of the earth will bless thee with one voice, for thy care to procure the re-establishment of a general and lasting repose; and it is also convinced that all our hearts will be inflamed by a general indignation. If the boldness and treachery of the enemy of general peace should overflow the measure of thy good-

ness and gentleness; then shall thy enemies know that thy moderation has bounds prescribed to thee by the dignity of thy empire, and the safety of thy allies, and that once past their confines, thy insufferable patience must proceed on the dreadful and serious extremities.
The history of thy empire most gracious sovereign, proves that the Russian people famous for their faithfulness and courage, have always sacrificed every thing to the generous views of thy glorious ancestors, either for the extension of the bounds of the empire, or for the glory of the Russian name, and that the difficulties they encountered on the course of honor never cooled their zeal, but on the contrary augmented their courage and efforts. What then could we now expect from this people, when thou, most excellent sovereign, declares to them that it is but the safety of the country, the sanctity of thy treaties, and the salvation of Europe that calls thee to arms. Yes! The senate full of venerable care, knows that a false and unsafe peace with a power that is only guided by a desire of domination, is very often more dangerous than even the most bloody war; and called upon by the sentiments and zeal for the honor of thy name and thy empire, it deigns express to thee most gracious monarch, and assures thee, devotedly, that all the beings covered by thy bounties, all the nations which inhabit thy extensive empire, await but thy nod, to sacrifice for thy beloved country their fortunes and even their lives.
And what prince of this earth has a right to expect from his subjects, such zeal and such efforts, as thou, from that of the Russians, who since the day of thy mounting the throne, hast not ceased to scatter thy bounties over all the nations that are submitted to thy empire;—thou who by wise regulations opens the springs of general happiness, and will leave it to the latest generations to enjoy the fruits of thy great actions and to bless the all beloved name of Alexander.

A Gibraltar paper of the 18th of October, says, "It is reported that 12 ships of the line in Cadiz Bay, have taken a few thousand men on board, and appear to watch a favorable moment to slip out, and probably to make an attempt to recover Buenos Ayres. We sincerely wish (says the same paper) they may make the attempt and thus afford an opportunity to our brave tars to celebrate, in the manner they like best, the anniversary of the Twenty-first ."
The same paper contains the following articles:
VENICE, Sept. 26.
Alarms have been excited in the province of Zara and Dalmatia, by two or three factious individuals who are now in the hands of the officers of justice. The Proveditor has issued the following proclamation:
"Brave and faithful inhabitants of Dalmatia! Villains, with a view to increase our evils, are spreading the rumor that Istria and Dalmatia are to be ceded to the house of Austria. They publish and circulate incendiary writings. Arrest them: I will give them up to the utmost rigor of the law. Those culpable machinations have no other object than to induce you to oppose the execution of the laws, and to leave the country. They could wish you to be wanting in your duty to the sovereign who has sworn to make you happy. I swear, that whatever they say is false and deceitful. Trust your first magistrate, and be without fear or uneasiness. Your deputies have laid your present sufferings before your sovereign. Never doubt it, he will come to your assistance. Cheer up, brave Dalmatians! I say it again, cheer up! admit none but pleasing ideas, or those relative to the welfare of your country."

RUSSELVILLE, November 14.
A gentleman who arrived in this town on Monday from Nashville, informs that a capt. Smith of the United States army, passed through that place on Friday last, with dis-
patches from general Wilkinson for the president of the U. States. The contents of the dispatches were not known, but captain Smith said at the time he left our army, no doubt was entertained that an engagement would take place between the Spanish and American forces—That communications had taken place between the Spanish and American commanders, in which the former had informed the latter that he had been instructed by his government to take the position which he then held, and support himself to the last extremity in the same, which order he was determined to comply with—The Spanish forces are said to exceed the Americans, by about 200.
NASHVILLE, November 8.
A gentleman of respectability reached this place last evening in 14 days from Natchitoches, and informs that general Wilkinson had moved from that place two days previous to his departure from it, with all the United States troops, consisting of twelve companies, and one or two volunteer companies of dragoons. The general took with him four field pieces.
It was confidently expected that an engagement would take place, our troops marched in high spirits, and appeared anxious to meet the Spaniards, who it is said had received positive orders to occupy the ground within a few leagues of Natchitoches.
We are informed from the same source that a conference with the commander of the Spanish forces had been held, when he informed general Wilkinson, that he had received his orders and was determined to maintain his post, and that they hourly expected the arrival of a re-inforcement of 10,000 troops.

"A gentleman from St. Thomas informs that the schooner Alert, of Alexandria, was there, and would sell her cargo and proceed home in a few days. The island of Curacoa was to have, in a few days, a French governor, and would be under the French flag altogether."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Nassau (N. P.) to his correspondent in Philadelphia, dated November 11, 1806.
"The United States ketch Vesuvius, captain Leonard, put in here about ten days ago, in distress, having lost her rudder on her passage from Boston for New Orleans. In the night she was driven by the rapidity of the current, on a reef (Abaco) when she got off with the loss of her rudder, but no other serious injury, and put in here to repair, and has since proceeded to New Orleans. While captain Leonard was here he was treated with much politeness and attention by his excellency governor Cameron, and several of the principal characters. Cap. Leonard expressed himself in flattering terms respecting the reception he met with—he appears an active, enterprising officer, and a young man of an engaging demeanor."

A letter from Jacob Jones, Lieut. com'dt. dated Ketch, (Etna River) Mississippi, Nov. 5, says—I have the pleasure to inform you of our arrival in the river yesterday, with the gun boats No. 11 and 12 in company, and all in good condition. The Vesuvius separated from us on the night of the 17th of October, a few leagues east of the island of Abaco. The Ketches sail very fast; the gun boats far exceed our expectations; they were nearly as dry as the ketches, although they were kept under a press of sail all the passage, which was unusually rough. I have left No. 11 and 12 at Fort St. Philips, (about 10 leagues above the Balize) to wood and water, and then proceed to Lake Ponchartrain and cruise there, according to orders that I received from capt. Shaw at the Balize.
To the Editor of the Candid Review.
SIR,
I procured the following information from a gentleman who was on his way home to Kentucky; I understood he had been to the northward the past season for the benefit of his health. He shewed me the letter in Sioverstown, where I fell in company with him, and from it I took the subsequent extract, which you may publish if you think proper.
Yours, D.

"You no doubt have heard the reports for some time circulated thro' the country respecting the object of Col. Burr's frequent visits to this quarter. It has within a few days been whispered here, that Burr is acting in conjunction with Miranda; that they are both in the employ of Ogden and Smith, of New York, who are the agents of the British. Rumour further states, that Miranda was directed to play off Carraccas and other southern parts of South America, to attract the attention of the inhabitants to that quarter, while Burr was to get in readiness a little fleet, &c. and attack the frontiers of the northern extremity. In case they in conjunction effect their purpose in conquering South America, they are to unite that country to Louisiana and the western states, and form a separate and distinct government. It is also further whispered that Wilkinson having discovered the disaffection of the people towards him, through a spirit of revenge has determined to unite with Burr: and while manoeuvring through the country with his pick'd corps, is to act as a secretary, and be ready to render his assistance when necessity shall require it. Numerous other characters, in almost every state in the union, of independent fortunes and of high standing, are also mentioned as confederates of Burr's, but it is at present thought best not to hazard the disclosure of their names."
The king of Prussia (says a London paper) has sixteen garrisons in Silesia, seven of which may be called impregnable, and the rest are very strongly fortified, and well officered.
It is stated in a respectable Dublin paper of the 7th October, that disturbances of a serious nature have broken out in the counties of Sligo, Leitrim and Mayo. It is said that a number of persons assembled at night, who denominate themselves—"Threshers," and commit the most violent outrages, destroying barns, &c. where any corn is deposited.
Extract of a letter from Berlin, dated 14th October.
The following details furnish some further particulars respecting the late engagement, in which our ever to be lamented prince Lewis fell, while fighting for his country:
Prince Lewis commanded the van of the corps of prince Hohenlohe. The latter ordered him to march to Rudolphstadt, with 6 or 7000 men, in order to assist general Tanenzien, who was stationed at Hoff, to form a junction with the grand Prussian army. This the prince accomplished on the 10th inst. On his crossing the Saal between Rudolphstadt and Salfeld, he fell upon a corps of 5000 French troops, who wanted to dispute his passage, but who soon were compelled to give way.—Soon after the whole of Bernadott's army, consisting of 30,000 men, came up and attacked our small corps with great impetuosity, which disproportionate contest obliged our troops to retreat until we reached the river Saal, but not until we had withstood the superior force of the enemy for 7 hours. Our loss consists of 1500 men, and that of the enemy is more considerable. What renders our loss more afflictive is the death of prince Lewis, who displayed the greatest courage, and who received two pistol balls through his breast while encouraging
his troops, who patiently withstood the enraged enemy with their bayonets.
Prince Lewis seems to have had some prediction of his fate previous to his leaving the capital, which he mentioned to his friends, and which induced him to make his will.
It is said that 60 of the enemy's chasseurs have recently penetrated to our magazines of Naumburg, and set fire to some of them.
According to accounts from Breslau, quarters have been bespoken there for 60,000 Russians, besides 30,000 expected from Ralisch, in Poland.
VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
The House of Delegates have been engaged during the last two days upon two subjects of some importance. The one the Kentucky amendment to the federal constitution: The other a resolution, concerning the administration of the United States.
On the first question the House of Delegates, have not yet come to any decision.
The second question produced much discussion and some warmth. We shall at present submit no more than the general results before our readers; receiving a more expanded notice of this debate for a subsequent paper.
On Friday the 12th inst, J. H. Blake, laid the following resolution before the House:
Resolved , That the General Assembly of Virginia have an entire confidence in no wise diminished, but increased, in the patriotism of the views and wisdom of the conduct of the President of the U. States—and that the present administration merits and ought to receive the most cordial support of this Assembly.
A motion being made and carried, the preceding resolution was referred to a select committee, consisting of Messrs. Baker, Brooke, Nelson, Pung, Smyth, (of Wythe) Sample, C. B. Harrison, Miller, (of Powhatan) Blake, Love, Robertson, B. Harrison, and McHenry, (of Washington).
On Thursday last, Mr. Baker chairman of the committee presented the following substitute to the original resolution.
"Resolved , That the General Assembly have the highest confidence in the wisdom, firmness and patriotism of the President of the United States."
A motion was made by Mr. Kinney to postpone this resolution to the 31st of March; which motion was supported by Messrs. Kinney, Archer, Murdaugh and Strother; and opposed by Messrs. Smith, (of King and Queen) Baker, Foushee, (of Henrico) and Robertson.
The question of postponement was lost, Ayes 85, Nays 131. When the question recurred upon the report of the committee it was carried, Ayes 138, Nays 19.
Yesterday Mr. Robertson offered the following resolution:
"Resolved , That the Legislature of Virginia continue to view with the highest approbation, the firm, just and liberal policy, which characterises the conduct of the government of the United States towards foreign nations."
A motion was made to postpone this resolution, till the 31st of March; which was supported by Messrs. Miller, (Powhatan) and Kinney; and opposed by Messrs. Baker, Robertson, Singleton, Smith, (King and Queen) and Foushee, (Henrico).—This motion being lost; Ayes 30, Nays 126, the question recurred upon the original resolution. Messrs. Nelson and Lindsay having delivered their respective sentiments, the question was put and carried, Ayes 122, Nays 35.
On yesterday too, the Legislature proceeded by joint-ballot to the election of a Brigadier-General to supply the vacancy occasioned in the 13th brigade by the death of general John Bowyer: the ballots were found to be:
For Andrew Moore, Esq. 124 Col. Breckenridge 52 Scattering 1
Of course Mr. Moore (at present in the Senate of the United States, from this state) was elected.

ATTENTION!
Richard Lee & Son,
Request those persons who value their health to observe, that
NICHOLAS HINGSTON,
At his China, Glass, Queen's-ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Market. Ricketts's and Newton's,
Is appointed their agent for Alexandria,
AND HAS JUST RECEIVED,
A LARGE SUPPLY OF
Patent and Family Medicines,
From their Medicine Warehouse,
BALTIMORE.
THE above Richard Lee and Son is father and brother to the deceased Richard Lee, of New York, and have prepared those valuable medicines for upwards of seven years, from the original receipts now in our possession. This public notice is rendered necessary by imitations of them having been lately advertised for sale in New York, Philadelphia, and other places. Effectually to counteract such unprincipled attempts we wish the public to be informed, that the genuine medicines are only prepared by Richard Lee and Son, Baltimore, and sold by Nicholas Hingston, Alexandria—Messrs. Raplee, Conrad and Co. Capitol Hill, Washington—Ninian Magruder, druggist, Georgetown, and no where else in the above places. N.B. The signature of Richard Lee and Son is on the outside wrappers, without which, none are genuine.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers is recommended
Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son, Baltimore. 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—produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence—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. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
Lee's genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c.
Lee's infallible Ague and Fever Drops, For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermitting Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine have proved ineffectual. Not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail; which, unless early attended to, and speedily removed, injure the constitution exceedingly, bring on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints of a most dangerous & alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of; but being a very poisonous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; children and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently lost for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
Lee's Grand Restorative,
Is confidently 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 unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive impropriety, the unskilful or excessive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period, of life bed lyings in, &c.
LEE'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, asthma, 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 affords 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.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges,
Which have, within six years past, cured upwards of one hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends other remedies.
Dr. Larou's Indian Vegetable Specific,
For the cure of Venereal complaints.
The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great proportion of them, after the skill of eminent physicians had proved ineffectual) demonstrates its efficacy in expelling the virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and in counteracting those dreadful effects which often result from the improper use of mercury.
The mildness of the Vegetable Specific, is equal to its surprising efficacy; its operation is so gentle that it is given to patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system or producing any of those disagreeable effects inseparable from the common remedies.
With the medicine is given a description of symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible.
EYE WATER,
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or accident.
TOOTH ACHE DROPS,
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
LEE'S CORN PLAISTER,
An infallible remedy for speedily removing corns, root and branch, without giving pain.
DAMASK LIP SALVE.
Restorative Powder for the Teeth & Gums
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR,
For the cure of all kinds of head-ache.

CAUTION!
THE Widow of the late Richard Lee, junior, respectfully cautions the public against the compositions of Richard Lee and Son, advertised in this paper as being prepared from the original recipes, &c. &c. [See their advertisement]—The facts are; that the only and original recipes are in possession of the subscriber; that R. L. and Son, (both mechanics) were employed, with other persons, in the laboratory of the deceased; that, within a few months, those two persons, on a joint account, in Baltimore; and one other person on his own account, in New-York; have commenced making imitations of our medicines; each, pretending to prepare the only genuine articles—But R. L. and Son have advanced a step beyond their customary, having had the meanness and effrontery to solicit the agents of the subscriber to take their compositions for sale, hoping thereby the better to deceive the unwary. As a further proof of what these persons are capable, the public are respectfully informed that the "unprincipled attempts," mentioned in R. L. and Sons advertisement, are utterly destitute of truth, no person in either of the places stated, or any where else, have conceived it worth while to imitate their imitations; which have been in existence but a few months; and more, the words are not theirs, being a copy of my advertisement to caution the public against R. L. and Son and the other imitator before mentioned.
That these persons have been capable of such conduct towards the Widow of their Relative, [whose employ had long yielded them a livelihood] and that they have compelled her to expose it, is a source of much regret, but she conceives the public as well as her own and her children's interest demand this explanation.
The subscriber admits that the Medicines have been wrapt, sealed, &c. by R. L. and Son, and others, under the direction of her Husband, and supposes they remember the drugs of which they were composed, but absolutely denies that they are acquainted with the necessary proportions; the late proprietor being extremely tenacious of the Recipes which he kept locked up in his private desk, and has often expressed his determination to keep them secret.
The subscriber informs the public, that the whole of the large stock of prepared Medicines on hand and all the apparatus for preparing them, were purchased for her, by her friends at the late sale of her Husband's moveable property, and assures them the several articles shall be faithfully prepared from the Recipes, by competent persons, when it again becomes necessary.

Caution versus "Caution."
IN this paper, under the head of "CAUTION" the Widow of the late R. Lee, jun. has made an insidious attempt to injure the reputation which the medicines prepared by R. Lee and Son have so justly acquired by their efficacy, as have been certified by the most respectable citizens of different sections of the United States.
She states as a fact that the only and original recipes are in her possession," and that "we, both mechanics (horrible!) were employed in the laboratory of the deceased"—and, "that within a few months we have commenced making imitations of the widow's medicines."
As far as relates to the original recipes, we will only refer the reader to the affidavits of Richard Lee, senior, and of Mr. Hanna, of the house of Warner and Hanna, their former agents in Baltimore, which are herewith annexed. Our being mechanics has nothing to do with the matter in dispute; we only contend that our medicines are genuine and prepared from the original recipes of R. Lee, junior.
She says we have within a "few months commenced making imitations."—No, we have had a practical knowledge of the business for upwards of seven years, and the public are capable of judging of that time and the trifling deviation from truth made by Hannah, when she so generously informs the public of a few months experience.
We are accused of having solicited her agents to take our compositions for sale. To say the least this assertion is of the same stamp with that wherein she states "she had taken the agency from Warner and Hanna." The fact is that her former agents well knew that our preparations were genuine; they therefore relinquished the agency and recommended Mr. James Hanna, her present agent, as a fit person to continue the sale of her medicines in Baltimore. The Widow admits that the medicines have been wrapt and sealed, &c. by us, under the directions of her husband, and supposes we remember the drugs, but denies our knowledge of the necessary proportions, and that her husband was so extremely tenacious of the recipes, that he kept them locked up in his private desk.—It is an absolute fact that he never had such an article as a private desk on the premises—but on the contrary they were kept in a common till or drawer, to which we had as free access as R. Lee, jun. himself.
All the medicines prepared by R. Lee and Son, bear their own names, for the purpose of distinguishing them from any others that may be offered for sale by any other person.—Let the public make but one experiment with our genuine medicines and those prepared by her mimics, and we are confident the result will be in favor of those bearing the signature of
Richard Lee and Son.

On application to me by Michael Lee, I have deemed proper in justice to Richard Lee and Son, to give the following testimony.
During the sickness of 1800, Richard Lee, jun. deceased, rented a part of my front dwelling with a back building, for the use of his brother Michael Lee, and in which he was to prepare medicines. While he resided at my house, I had free access to the building, in which I found the said Michael Lee constantly at work, weighing
drugs and preparing medicines of different kinds. Inver law Richard Lee, jun. do any thing belonging to the business, either in giving directions or any other matter belonging thereto—in fact Michael Lee appeared to be tentative, that his brother did not conceive it necessary.
Given under my hand, this 14th day of Sept. 1806.
JOHN ALLEN
I hereby certify, that Richard Lee, jun. deceased, rented a dwelling and store from me in Baltimore street between Frederick and Gay streets, which he occupied upwards of two years. I had workmen employed in said house and the one adjoining for several months, which required my presence there repeatedly throughout the day. I have sat in Richard Lee, jun.'s laboratory, and there, for several hours at a time, while Richard Lee, jun. and Michael Lee, his son, were employed in weighing out drugs, and mixing and compounding various kinds of medicines—at other times I have seen them distilling, filling and sealing phials with different medicines, and there was no other persons employed in preparing any for the above period. I never to the best of my recollection, saw Richard Lee, jun. deceased, interfere with the business in any respect.
Given under my hand, this 15th day of Sept. 1806.
