I WISH to sell, the unexpired lease of 8 years, from the 10th day of December next, in the elegant and commodious HOTEL I now occupy in Alexandria. This establishment is justly celebrated as affording the best accommodations on the continent, and to a man of attention and abilities in the line of his profession, cannot fail to yield a handsome fortune. The proximity of this property to the seat of government, being but about six miles from the capitol, over the Potomac Bridge, the growing importance of Alexandria, and the increase of the business of the house since the residence of the present occupant, all conspire to prove, that there is not a more eligible situation in the United States. Attached to the tavern, is a well conducted coffee house, supported by a respectable subscription. Together with an insurance office. There are at present twenty four yearly boarders of the first respectability, in the hotel. The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the greater part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms. William Caton. September 20.

Alexandria Daily Gazette.  THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28.  Mr. Custis's Address to-morrow.
Captain White of the schr. Hawk, in 48 days from Messina, informs that about July 12 while he was at Messina the admiral of the Sicilian gun boats undertook to dislodge the French from the castle of Schella which commanded the heights of Messina and annoyed the passage: he requested the English commander to lie in reserve. He attacked the French gun boats and took 32 of them which he brought in, and took the Castle. The conduct of the Sicilians exceeded the expectation of the English and every one on shore. The whole of the engagement being distinctly seen from the town—2000 of the English troops had taken possession of the islands of Ischia and Cadri at the entrance of the harbor of Naples; and having landed, they and the French were a considerable while in view of each other and each retired without firing a gun; shortly after orders came from admiral Collingwood for the English to evacuate the island and retire to Sicily, as information had been received that the French had 300 transports and 30,000 men at Toulon ready for sea and an attack was expected from some quarter. The latest accounts they had from Vienna from an Austrian officer, was to the 11th of July; they were rather confused.—Balt. N. Amer.
NEW LONDON, Sept. 20.  Arrived, brig Cleopatra, D. Deshon, 29 days from Demarara.  Brig Washington, Mather, 28 days from Antigua. Came passenger, W. Lynde, late master of the brig Joseph of Saybrook, who states, that on the 20th of July, under the lee of Guadalupe, between 9 and 10 in the evening, it being almost calm, was boarded by an open French boat, manned with 13 men armed with muskets, pistols and cutlasses—who took possession of his vessel and conducted her into Basseterre, Guadalupe, where she, on 31st July, together with the schooner Philander, Clark, of New Haven, and the brig Montpelier, Wilson, of Salem, were totally condemned under the Milan Decree. A few days after, the schr. Satocoga, Tucker, from Marblehead was brought in and condemned; and on the 17th Aug. a large schr. from the Eastward, with fish, provisions and lumber was brought in—captain or vessels name not recollected. The French have many armed boats fitted out as privateers some open and some decked full of men—two from Point Petre mounting cannon, with 50 or 60 men. These boats cruise as far southward as Dominique, and as far north as Mountserrat, and take and condemn all American vessels bound to or from any English port, or having been spoken with cruisers, or having had their papers endorsed. August 1st, came on a very heavy gale at Basseterre, which drove on shore 17 sail of vessels, among which was the Joseph and the Montpelier, but fortunately no lives were lost; the schr. Philander rode out the gale, and was purchased in at auction by captain Clarke, in which vessel myself and captain Wilson and crews left Guadalupe on the 10th of August for St. Bartholomew, and the same evening was taken possession of by the British sloop of war Pelter, and conducted to Antigua, where the next day the schr. was cleared and proceeded to leeward.
PHILADELPHIA, September 25.  We understand that Mr. Erskine, late British Minister to this country, leaves town to-morrow for the southward. About the 1st Oct. he will have an audience of leave with the president of the U. S. who is then to be at Washington. Mr. Erskine then embarks on board the Africaine frigate and proceeds home.  Arrived, ship Superior, capt. Butler, 51 days from Liverpool. Capt. Butler sailed the 10th Aug. and brings nothing later than already received. Spoke the ship Oliver Ellsworth, from Liverpool for N. York—which vessel sailed three days after the Superior, and was informed by her, that accounts had been received in England of the complete success of the British expedition. Flushing and all the other points of attack having surrendered. Off the Western isles spoke the British sloop of war Nautilus, who had fallen in with a cutter from Spain carrying despatches, containing an account of a victory obtained over the French in Spain. This must relate to the action of the 27th and 28th July. The loss of the French, as reported by the Nautilus, is but 14,000, killed and taken prisoners.  The City Council of London, the beginning of August, had a motion before them
for rescinding their former vote of thanks to Colonel Wardle.  It is reported by the Superior that Bonaparte had returned to Paris. This is not likely to have occurred so soon.  American produce had experienced a considerable rise in England, in consequence of the well-grounded expectation that immediately on hearing of the rejection of Mr. Erskine's arrangement, this government would revive the provisions of the non-intercourse.
IMPORTANT.  NORFOLK, Sept. 22.  MR. JACKSON.—We can state upon undoubted authority that this minister is not yet accredited, and that Mr. Erskine continues, and will continue, to exercise the functions of minister from Great Britain, until the president returns to Washington, when Mr. Jackson will be received. No demand has been made by Mr. Smith, as to the objects of his mission.—Ledger

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. (Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Baltimore street, two doors above south Gay-street.
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms appeared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT.
Michael Duffy, residing at No. 47, Walker street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls the one five, and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.
J. SMITH.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799.
Philadelphia, August 5, 1805. TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it relieved me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. I have since given them to my children, and can speak from experience, that they are a most valuable medicine, and am happy to add my testimony to numberless others of their efficacy.
SARAH JOHNSON,
No. 140, north Second Street. Among the symptoms attending Worms are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—bad and corrupted gums—itching in
the nose and about the seat—convulsions, epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging, with slimy and foetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS , Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern sea ports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.

During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, WM. DEVENNY,
ITCH CURED.
