FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
A combination of recent events, appear to have marked this portion of the United States, as the theatre of the operations of colonel Burr, and a prophetic genius whispers, that he has marked this country as the seat of a serious and desperate conflict. Attend, my fellow-citizens to the relative facts which will follow: ponder on your situation, and prepare yourselves for action: sleep not, while the hungry tyger is prowling round your at present peaceful abodes; but watch the storm which is gathering around you, and which, if not dispelled, must envelope you in inevitable ruin.
Peace, in Europe, has broken down the only remaining barrier to the ambitious views of Napoleon, and left him to extend his conquest beyond the continent of Europe. It has overtaken us before our differences with Spain were adjusted. The golden moment, the hour of salvation is past. The period which should have made Louisiana ours, beyond every possibility of dispute, is past; and is only remembered to add to the catalogue of our miseries. We are officially told, Spain denies we have any territory west of the Mississippi, and France as peremptorily declares, we have none east of that river. We are then to conclude, we have only the island of New Orleans, as the great Louisiana purchase. This the government of the U. States cannot consent to; and this will consequently be the bone which will beget the contention, and give the emperor of France an excuse for landing an army in our country, which col. Burr, by his principles of disunion, will have made ripe for invasion. These are not the idle machinations of a disordered brain: they are the cool and candid sentiments of one of your own body, who feels the awful necessity of arousing you from your present fatal security to a sense of the dangers which await you. Enquiry and attention in the people begets vigilance in their officers, and adds energy to the government. Be watchful, therefore, and mark the course and effect of the momentous events which are passing before you.
I will not pretend to say that this was the primary object of col. Burr. Some schemes of a far different nature may have led him to this country; but I will venture to assert that the settlement of a paltry purchase of land has not been the cause of his visit to this country; and the rapid changes of position which have employed his time since his arrival. An association of individuals among us, has been recently developed, for subjecting this country to Spain; and we believe an association for declaring this and the other states and territories west of the Alleghany mountains, independent of the union, does now exist. In pointing to the focus, the leader of this formidable band, we have only to refer to the sentiments disseminated by col. Burr himself, to declare him the person. To a soul big with ambition, and towering above the little gratifications of a private citizen, this gentleman has added a highly cultivated mind, enriched with great political knowledge, and considerable military skill. Great personal firmness and cool and determined courage, quickness of comprehension and facility of combination, seem to have marked him out as a formidable commander. What have we not to apprehend from a well disciplined army under his command, if once regenerated by a spark of enthusiasm! And to imagine that this military essential were wanting by a man possessing the extensive mind of col. Burr, would be absurd.
We behold then, fellow citizens of western America, a man among us whose mysterious views are concealed beneath a cloud of uncertainty, and which we are unable clearly to penetrate, collecting a body of emigrants from the New-England states, and about to bring them thro' the heart of our country, to settle them on the very land in controversy between this country and Spain. We have been informed that the executive would permit no settlements in this portion of country, and that attempts to settle would be repelled by the military forces of the United States. What then are we to conclude when this scheme is publicly carried on by col. Burr? Are we to believe the executive of the United States is winking at the movements of this gentleman; or, are we to imagine that previous to a knowledge of a peace in Europe, and perhaps even now, he is proceeding in defiance of the government of the union, and hopes to avail himself of the discontents of our newly acquired Louisiana brethren? Placed under the
controul of men, who were inadequate to the important trusts which were reposed in them, and whom the people most cordially despise: the great portion of the inhabitants of New Orleans and the territory of Louisiana, disgusted with the mockery of government, which they have experienced since their cession to the United States; the one from a pusillanimous, and the other portion from an arbitrary governor; they would joyfully hail the return of regal power, which would give permanency to their laws, and secure them in the quiet possession of their former rights and property. The country swarms with speculators and men of ruined fortunes, who have fled there under the hope of catching a fortune in the shape of Spanish claims; or locations, in case congress should open an office for that purpose; and this has also given our new brethren a false idea of the American character. These men are all like colonel Burr: their every hope in Eastern America is blasted; and they are now ripe for any enterprise, which, with employment, will give them the means of a livelihood.
With these adventitious circumstances before his eyes are we to imagine that a mind like that of col. Burr's, with all the spurs of disgrace and disappointed ambition is a sleep? If we do we are greatly mistaken. His vigilant mind has marked the course of events, and his principles of disunion, and his comments on the emptiness of our government, are all calculated to prepare the minds of the people of Western America for some important event.
Arouse then my fellow citizens; shake off the lethargy which locks your senses; and watch with eagle eyes the machinations of party, and be ready to meet the efforts of disappointed ambition. Give an attentive ear to the dangers which have been announced, and prepare to repel internal faction and foreign invasion. Combat in every shape, which it may have the temerity to assume, the idea of disunion for this is the watch word; this is the sentiment by which to feel the political pulse of every individual; and whether the opinion of an immediate separation, or the painful idea that at some more distant period the event must take place, is contended, only depends on the person to whom the remarks are directed. In every shape it tends to sap our attachments to the general government, and undermines our happiness, and political and individual safety.
Our interests are not more remote from those of the Union, than Georgia or South Carolina: and our only safety from internal discord and foreign oppression, is in an attachment to the union, and an adherence to the general government.
You cannot now look for security in the blind and sanguinary contests of Europe. All Europe is at peace, and with jealousy watching the growing importance of America. Let us condense then into one solid body; and as in the Revolution which gave us liberty, again unite, and use the common strength of the country to maintain it unscathed. Let us live and die with the motto of "United we stand, divided we fall."
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
Oct. 28. 1806.
VIENNA, Sept. 10.
According to accounts received from Major General Count Bellegrade, the notification of the signing of the treaty of peace, by M. D'Oubril, which he had communicated to the Russian admiral Senavin, commanding at Cataro, had no effect. As his orders therefore were to obtain Cataro by consent or force, he cast anchor with his squadron before the place, but he found the Russians far from inclined to surrender it. The Russian commandant even declared, that if the Austrians attempted to land he would treat them as enemies and sink their ships, as it was impossible to undertake any thing with hope of success. Count Bellegrade had determined to wait for new instructions, and had sent the chevalier de l'Epine, to General Lauriston, to inform him of the situation of affairs.
According to latter accounts general Bellegrade, from want of provisions had been obliged to leave his station, and was expected back at Trieste. These circumstances occasioned the revival of the unfounded report, that Cataro had been delivered up.
The English force in Sicily and Calabria amounts now to twenty four thousand men.
We are assured that a considerable park of artillery will be established two leagues from Braun. At this moment magazines, ammunition, artillery, &c. are conveying from Lintz, to Budweis. It is especially to the honor of the Arch-duke Charles, that
he has been able in a very short time, to place the army on a most respectable footing. Not only all the regiments are more than complete, but he has collected a prodigious quantity of ammunition of every kind. The corps in Moravia alone has already in its magazines 13,000 more than are wanted.
PARIS, September 22.
A great number of baker boys set out the day before yesterday from Paris for the great army, where they are to be employed in baking bread and biscuit.
The camp at Meudon is entirely broken up; all the regiments that composed it, together with a part of the garrison of Paris, have begun their march, and taken the route to Strasburgh. A troop of infantry of 1500 men passed Cambray on the 16th, for the Rhine. It is reported in that city, that several other corps are to pass which have the same destination.
September 23.
The minister Dejean has stated that the department of the Indre has sent forward the first contingent which it was bound to furnish for the conscription of 1806.
Those of the Eure, of the Eure and Loire, of the Nievre, of the Mauche and the Ain, have sent forward almost the whole of their conscription. The total number of men who have set out amounts to the Prefects.
A great many Hebrew odes have been composed on the occasion of the birth of his imperial and royal majesty, celebrated by the Jewish deputies in the grand synagogue of Paris, the most remarkable of those odes are, that of M. Millaud, the deputy of Vaucluse, which one of our most distinguished Orientalists has translated into French; two others of M. Mayer; and a fourth of M. Abraham Cologna, ex legislator and member of the electoral college of learned men of the kingdom of Italy. The two last, translated by M. Michel Beer, have been printed together at the imperial press, with a preface by the translator.

September 26.
Their imperial and royal majesties set out from St. Cloud, in the night between Wednesday and Thursday. The emperor, it is supposed, proceeds towards Maience.
[Moniteur]
Cardinal Maury has been appointed chaplain to prince Jerome Bonaparte, and declared one of the French cardinals.
Letters from Toulon state, that orders have been received there for building 12 ships of the line. The funds are appropriated, and some of the ships already on the stocks.
HAMBURGH, September 19.
It appears certain that the Russians are rapidly advancing, though care is taken that nothing be officially published about them. It is said to day that they are already at Stettin, and that the emperor has occupied Prussia proper, with Koenigsberg itself, as a security that the Prussian court will, for this time, act in concert. The Prussian coin is declared current in Hannover.
A report is spread here this afternoon that the French and Prussian advanced posts are within a league of each other.
PORTSMOUTH, September 29.
The 17th regiment of dragoons, or the brave "Death and Glory regiment," embarked yesterday, having previously been dismounted. Two troops of the 9th regiment of dragoons came, and were dismounted; they will embark in a few days.
Sailed the Ardent of 64 guns, captain Donnelly, and the Pheasant and Charwell sloops, for Plymouth, to take sir Samuel Achmury's brigade to Buenos Ayres. The Nereide and Thistle, which remain under orders for Buenos Ayres, it is supposed will take some of the troops from this port in a few days.
WEYMAR, September 11.
The whole army of Silesia, commanded by the prince of Hohenlohe, and consisting of about 30,000 men, crossed the Elbe to day near Dresden. If we may believe general report, 130,000 Russians are entering Silesia as a corps de reserve. Saxony, according to some, will furnish 20,000 and according to others 30,000 men, who will assist in occupying Thuringia.
The French are concentrating their forces near Bayreuth and Cobourg, where according to all appearance, the first blow will be struck, unless it should be in the environs of Munster.
Our most serene duke yesterday received orders for his departure: he commands in chief a corps of the Prussian army.

AUGSBURG, September 11.
After the arrival of a courier from Paris, marshal Lefevre set out from this city, at eleven at night, to go by Nordlingen to Dinkelsbuhl. His departure has given strength to the report that war is determined on between France and Prussia. We are assured that the departure of the French troops from Germany is deferred for an indefinite time, and that it will not take place till the differences shall be terminated which at present subsist between France & Prussia, and France and Russia.
BANKS OF THE MAINE , September 13. All the general officers and great officers of state who were at Paris, were convoked by the emperor Napoleon on the 8th of this month, at St. Cloud, when it is said that his majesty held a council of war, the political situation of Europe requiring measures of precaution.

NEW-YORK , November 28.
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship Pallas, captain Brown, who left Amsterdam on the 11th of October, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received Dutch papers to the 9th. They are principally occupied with the movements of those mighty masses of men who it seems are embodying for the purpose of rekindling the flames of war on the continent of Europe. To this important subject our translations from these papers are confined solely.
Lord Lauderdale, at the date of our latest advices from France, was indisposed at the seat of general Junot, the governor of Paris.
We learn that a new camp, to be called the camp of Austerlitz, was forming at Ziest.
Four Russian ships of the line and four frigates, bound for the Mediterranean, anchored at Copenhagen on the 23d September.
The army of marshal Soult was collecting in the environs of Pfaffenhausen and Ingolstadt; that of marshal Bernadotte between Nuremberg and Furth; both armies are to be under the command of Bernadotte, and are estimated at 60,000 men. Davoust's army of 30,000 were marching to Anspach as a reinforcement. The corps of Lefebvre (formerly Mortier's) consisting of 20,000, were drawing near to Schweinfurt, and that of marshal New was on its march. All the troops which were posted on the Warre are to reinforce the army of marshal Augereau.
Concerning the movements of Prussia it is stated, in letters from Berlin of the 30th September, that no doubt existed there of the speedy commencement of hostilities. In a declaration to France, Prussia is said to have insisted that Bonaparte should withdraw his troops from Germany, that he should not intermeddle in the affairs of the north, and that he should accede to measures for restoring a continental peace.
The army of Saxony consists of 100,000 men.
Baron Jacobi, formerly the Prussian envoy to Great Britain, left Hamburg for London on the second of October.

Hague, October 5.
Letters from Nimeguen state that several regiments of French and Dutch troops have passed through that city, and that the army in the neighborhood will consist of 100,000 men, in two divisions, one of them to be commanded by general Michaud, whose head quarters are at Diersfordt; the other, consisting of the king's guard, horse artillery, &c. by general Dumonceau.
This morning early the king left this place for the army. [He arrived on the same day at Duisburg, reviewed several regiments, and proceeded the next morning to Wingezel.]
Amsterdam, Oct. 9.
French papers mention, that 8,000 men are immediately expected at Coblenz, where they are immediately to assume a military position round that city. The first detachment of the army of General Ouderoit, have arrived at Strasburg by the way of the Rhine. There are continual embarkations of troops on the Rhine
which are constantly arriving from France, to join the grand army, whilst other corps go by water to the same destination.
Posen, (Poland) Sept. 23.
Prussian troops are continually passing through this place for Germany.
Banks of the Nissa, Sept. 24.
The Servians and the Turks had a most desperate battle on the 29th and 30th of August. The former were surrounded by 15,000 Turks during the action; but being reinforced by 7,000 men the tide of victory turned in their favor, and they defeated the Turks with great slaughter, leaving upwards of four thousand dead on the field. They also took 500 horses and a number of mules, ammunition, cannon, and many prisoners.
Berlin, Sept. 27.
Laforet the French ambassador here has not yet received his passports though he has solicited them, and though he has discharged most of his servants as a measure preparatory to quitting this city. It is however still hoped, that a rupture will be prevented.
Frankfort, Sept. 28.
The Prussian army now in motion is posted in several divisions from East Friesland to the borders of Bohemia, and is said to consist of 250,000 men exclusive of a powerful militia. General Blucher commands the right wing, which can be immediately supported by General Ruchel — The duke of Brunswick, command, the centre, and prince Hohenlohe the left wing. Besides these officers, there are the prince of Hesse, Marshal Mollendorf, 7 generals and 25 lieutenants of infantry, 5 generals and 11 lieutenant generals of cavalry, 100 major-generals, 143 colonels, 62 lieutenant colonels, and 566 majors. The annual expenses of this army will be from 22 to 24 millions, which is nearly two thirds of the whole income of the Prussian government. The king's life-guard commenced their march for Potsdam on the 31st of August. Some old generals have retired on a pension.
The prince of Hohenlohe had demanded from the court of Dresden permission to march the Prussian army through that country, which is to be replaced by an army of Russians.
Report says that general Blucher has marched from Waldeck into Hesse. The arrival of Augereau is waited for with impatience. He is to remove his head quarters from Gessen, to Wetzlar. After tomorrow 1200 men are expected at Mentz, and were also to march to Wetzlar. The park of the heavy artillery of Ulm will be stationed in our environs and those of Darmstadt.
Lippec, Sept. 28.
The Prussian corps of reserve under Prince Eugene of Wirtemberg, formerly posted at Kustrin, defiles along the Spree towards the Saxon frontier, to be nearer the principal Prussian army.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 1.
A letter from a gentleman of the army, dated at Fort Adams, October 16, mentions that the last accounts from Natchitoches informed him, that 16 Spaniards, and about 60 mules, SOME PACKED WITH SILVER, had been intercepted on their route from Nagadouches to Baton Rouge, and carried into the American camp.
One of the passengers in the ship Pallas from Amsterdam, informs us, that previous to his departure, he read in an Amsterdam paper of the 9th of October, an account of the capture of four French frigates by a squadron under the command of Commodore Sir Samuel Hood, after a severe action. The French squadron consisted of five frigates, one of which escaped, bound from France for the West Indies, with troops; and mistaking commodore Hood's ships for Indians, bore down upon them, and before they discovered their mistake, were within reach of the guns of the British squadron. Commodore Hood lost an arm in the action. The same paper stated, that Admiral Sir Thomas Louis had also captured a French frigate on the coast of France. The above prizes had all arrived in England. (New York Post.)
By the Comet, Hart, from New Orleans, we have received from our correspondents a file of New Orleans papers up to the 3d inst. inclusive, from which we have made a few extracts.
It appears by these papers that although the Spaniards have re-crossed the Sabine, general Wilkinson, is not altogether satisfied as to their peaceable intentions—they have frequently since made incursions in the disputed territory, which induced the general to fix his head quarters at Adais.
Governor and lady Claiborne arrived at New Orleans on the 27th ult.
Our correspondent under date of the 5th instant, advises us of the arrival of the Rubereus, in 16 days from this port—and adds that nothing farther of consequence had transpired since the date of our papers.
The detachment of militia, under major P. L. Claiborne, consisting of five companies, which marched from Natchez to Natchitoches, to join the general which we some days since stated to have been ordered back, returned to Natchez on the 15th ult. They immediately proceeded to the town of Washington, where they were dismissed the same day—the officers in an address to the major, express in the handsomest terms their readiness at any time to step forward to avenge the insults offered to their country, and mention also the error of the troops under their respective commands.
The number of new companies of volunteers lately raised in New Orleans, and indeed throughout the whole western country, is a certain sign of the disposition of the inhabitants to support the government of the United States.
A New Orleans paper of October 22 says—the brig S. W. from Pensacola has been lost at Baye Ronde—part of the crew have arrived in this city. The captain remained on the wreck in hopes of saving the rigging and sails. (Balt. Tel.)
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27.
Gun boat No. 13, lieutenant Reid, and gun boat No. 14, lieutenant Patterson, got under way on Friday evening last, bound up the river; to what place we have not learnt. These vessels were built on the Ohio, and appear to be substantial and well executed.
October 30.
We understand that governor Claiborne has received official dispatches from general Wilkinson, which announce that the Spaniards have re-crossed the Sabine, but were concentrating their forces on the west bank of that river, and continued to advance their patrols within the territory claimed by the United States. General Wilkinson is said to be forwarding his preparations for offensive measures, and the aspect of affairs generally on our western frontier, is not considered as pacific.
November 3.
On the 30th ultimo his excellency governor Claiborne received official dispatches from Natchitoches.
We learn that general Wilkinson had posted a detachment of troops at the Adais, and contemplated establishing his head quarters at that place.
The Spanish army continued on the west bank of the Sabine; but were daily in the habit of violating the territory of the U. States, by crossing the Sabine in light armed parties.
We also learn, that the captain general (Salcedo) of the province of Texas, had
directed to be released three Americans of the names of Shaw, Irvine and Brewster, who were arrested at Bayou Pierre by the Spanish governor Harrara, and sent prisoners to St. Antoine.
The arrest and detention of these citizens were remonstrated against by governor Claiborne, and their release demanded.
A letter from Fort Stoddart under date of October 22, says—Four men saw one this morning to finish making a road from this place to New Orleans—they expect to complete it in about three weeks.
Some time about the 20th of August last a Chaetaw Indian residing at the Bayou Checo village in the county of Opelousas, was dangerously wounded by a citizen of this territory.
Governor Claiborne on his late journey from Natchitoches to this city, passed through the vicinity of that village, and by a message from him to the Indians and the exertions of judge Collins on the occasion, the Indians who had been greatly irritated, were reconciled; and assurances of their friendly dispositions were received.
The Indian has since unfortunately died of his wounds; and the warriors of the village threaten retaliation. It is however hoped that no innocent blood will be shed. The citizen charged with this offence, has surrendered himself to civil officer, and will be tried according to the laws of this territory.

The Proprietors.

ATTENTION!
Richard Lee & Son,
Request those persons who value their health to observe, that NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his Casks, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Messrs. Rickett'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 information of their 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. Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol Hill, Washington—Nicholas Magruer, drug-gist, 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 person 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 consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—weakness 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 nauseous 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 intemperance, the unskillful or excessive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period, of lifebad 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. Leroux'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 most 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.
N.B. Liberal allowance to wholesale purchasers on application to Richard Lee and Son, November 10. Baltimore.
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 receipts, &c. [See their advertisement]—The truth is; that the only and original receipts 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, these 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 stop beyond their cotemporary, 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 attempt," 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 their, 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 childrens 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.
