PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq., and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shewn to persons inclined to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq., who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

Public Notice.
WHEREAS I have by a warrant from the general land office for the state of Virginia, located a piece or parcel of land, lying on the north side of Great Hunting Creek, and binding on the waters of said Creek, including the place commonly known by the name of Jones's Point, as well as other settlements on said Creek, above the said Jones's Point, which by a survey that was made on the 17th March last, by the surveyor of Fairfax county, for the state of Virginia, does clearly prove to have been waste or vacant land, that lay to the south of Robert Houson's tract (of 6000 acres) or in other words lay to the south of R. Houson's N. W. by W. line or course; which said 6000 acres of land was conveyed to Alexander or Alexanders many years ago. I therefore give public notice to all whom it may concern, that as the survey has been made for some time past, and that I have compounded thereon agreeable to law made and provided in that case for the state of Virginia, I shall in a short time proceed to take & make use of all the said piece or parcel of land which has been surveyed & laid out to me agreeable to my warrant, unless it is proved that the above land was, or is not vacant.

TO MILLERS.
I HAVE invented a machine called a Wheat Rubber, for which I obtained a patent on the first day of this month. This machine may be seen in operation in the mill of Nathaniel Ellicott, Occoquan. Those millers, who feel an interest in investigating its merit and have not an opportunity of visiting Occoquan, may be fully informed by application to Mr. Ellicott, by letter. My Wheat-Rubber, I do verily believe is upon entire new principles, the cost of erecting it a trifle, the materials of which it is composed easily attainable in any part of our country, and the plan simple in the extreme: any workman of common capacity will be enabled to erect it from description only. Practical millers know, that in a great proportion of the wheat that comes to market (from the manner it is stacked in the fields by the farmer and exposed to the weather) a number of sprouted and unsound grains mingle with the mass, and has eluded the ingenuity of the miller to separate it from the sound grain—they also know those unsound grains injure materially the taste and color of flour—my machine not only frees the wheat of stone, onion, cockle, dirt, &c. but does absolutely take from it every unsound grain, from what cause soever it may have been injured, as my machine will not let any unsound wheat pass it—millers may have their screen wire much finer than hitherto used, and thereby save considerably—it will also be found that the grain in passing the rubber, is polished, and that even the eyes of the wheat is picked perfectly clean of dust or dirt. Some instances having occurred of certificates being obtained, saying much more in favor of a new invention than the public are willing to admit after trial—I hope it will be a sufficient apology for my taking a different course. My price for the privilege of using the rubber is fifty dollars for each pair of wheat stones the mill contains. Letters directed to me post paid shall be attended to.

THE END OF ALL.
IN youth, how blithe, how sweet and gay Life's smiling face appears; Our pleasures drive, and we obey, Nor think of changing years. In every flowery path we rove, Nor spurn the giddy call; Till thus reminded from above, That death's "The End of All."
Love glides within the tender breast, With sweet seducing aim; The dear idea is caress'd, And blows it to a flame. But age will mark the furrow'd cheek, The genius too will fall: This faltering tongue will faintly speak, Is this "The End of All."
The syren call of pleasure draws, With merciless control; While vanity invites applause, Ambition warms the soul. But if pale sickness peep abroad, Such comforters are small; The sweets of life encroach the load: Such is "The End of All."
The glare of riches charms the sense, And honors pulse beats high! The serious thought is driven hence, And shadowy phantoms fly. While reason yields to slavish fear, This thought will taste like gall: Perhaps the next revolving year May mark "The End of All."
O! blend these fascinating joys With those of higher fame; Let gratitude's melodious voice Call on his maker's name. Religion will her charms display, And smiles will meet the call; Terror will yield to hope's bright ray, Which gilds the "End of All."
From Bell's (London) Weekly Messenger.
RELATIONS OF RUSSIA & FRANCE.
The die is at length cast beyond recal, and Austria and France, the political gladiators of the day, are about to fight the last battle of nations. The point of honor demands the necessary death of one of the parties: they are committed in fact to fight till one shall fall. There is a state of things so extreme as even in common prudence to preclude all possibility of moderation. France would be insensible to her own safety, if she suffer Austria, after her declared hostility, to escape, and Austria having once chosen her part, having once drawn the sword, must act up to her menace, and throw away the scabbard. The moment of irresolution and timidity has passed away for ever. The emperor Francis must defend his imperial throne or retire from it. If beaten in the field, he certainly ceases to be a sovereign. He will equally lose his empire, if to avoid the immediate peril he submit to the present demands. The only difference will be, that in the first case he has the chance of war, which in human affairs is not always for the strongest. In the latter state of things, he may be permitted to reign a year or a few months—just so long as Bonaparte is embarrassed with other objects. A quarrel, which is always at hand, would then be contrived, and Austria like Prussia cease to be in the list of independent nations.
Under these circumstances, public attention is very strongly turned towards Russia, and every one anxiously demands and enquires what will be her probable course. Will the emperor Alexander, say they, remain immovable, till he sees every throne around him destroyed? Is it possible that the alliance between France and Russia can be framed on principles of sympathy for French interest, with a total oblivion and neglect of the immediate peril of Russia from the overwhelming superiority of her neighbor? Grant that, exhausted by an unsuccessful war, the emperor Alexander desired peace—grant that by certain sacrifices and certain compliances the emperor Napoleon converted this peace into an alliance—and grant that our conduct in the expedition to Copenhagen, confirmed and rivetted this alliance by severing whatever remained of connection between Russia and England—yet even under all these circumstances it is conceivable that Russia will consent to aggrandize France to her own
evident ruin? Will the emperor Alexander be mad enough to remove the only barrier between his own dominions and the ambitious, the powerful Napoleon?
Has he so little knowledge, so little experience of this profligate child of fortune, as to deem his gratitude security against his ambition? Can he be so blind to the example of the king of Spain, who at least deserved so well of the French emperor, and has been treated so ill?
Such are the reflections which naturally arise in the minds of those who consider attentively the present state of things, and who deduce their conclusions upon the general course of human actions. In every question of this kind, however, there are certain indirect relations, which, not being upon the surface, are not perceived till the matter is well stirred. They are strangely erroneous who form their judgment upon the simplicity of external circumstances.
Every government has some particular point—some certain and defined object, to which it looks as to its natural policy. Now, from the days of the empress Catharine, the object of Russian ambition has been to incorporate in its territory the European dominions of Turkey, and to have for the boundaries of its empire the Baltic on the west, and the Black Sea on the east. Russia, in fact, borders on kingdoms which are vast enough to provide her with objects of ambition for many centuries. China, Persia, and Turkey, are the natural fund of Russian aggrandizement, and it has been accordingly the opinion of many of the wisest of the Russian cabinet, that Russia should keep herself from German quarrels—that her natural interests lie in other quarters, and that her true policy towards the states of Europe is to cultivate and maintain such a good understanding—such a passive amity, as may leave her at full leisure to attend to interests more immediately her own.
It has been the opinion of many of our English statesmen, that England herself had no interests in common with the continent. It has been in the same manner the opinion of the Russian statesmen, that the most immediate interest of Russia is to occupy herself in the due cultivation and improvement of her territory, and that having nothing to fear from European confederacies she had in fact nothing to do with them. Russia, said they, has nothing to gain, and certainly nothing to lose, on the side of Germany—her sterile frontier is of itself a bar of iron against any hostile approach; if she could not beat her enemy, she could starve him. Russia, therefore, is in full safety on this side. Her just policy is to be defensive in Germany. Her fund of aggrandizement lies in other quarters.
The empress Catharine always acted upon this policy till the era of the French revolution. It was the unhappy nature of this revolution, that being a war of principles, the contagion reached those whom it could not touch, and that no distance was a security against it. The war therefore which Catharine meditated, and which the emperor Paul executed against the French revolution, was no contradiction to the former system. The war was purely defensive, and had no other object than to abate a nuisance, and cut off a pestilence which corrupted every thing within the wide sphere of its influence.
Neither was the invasion and partition of Poland any departure from the same system. Poland, by its situation on the Vistula, was naturally a desirable object to Russia, the acquisition of it rounded the Russian dominions, and completed the line of natural boundary. Poland, moreover, or at least Russian Poland, though in the loose and general way of speaking amongst geographers it has been sometimes described as a part of Germany, has certainly very little in common with the German states or character; it is rather a Tartar waste and an Asiatic empire, where a hundred miles of plain has but a single town or village. The partition of Poland, therefore, was no departure from the adopted system of the Russian cabinet, that Russia had nothing in common with European interests.
The result of what has been above said appears to be, that Russia has two leading points, two fundamental principles, which have hitherto governed her foreign relations. The first is, that she has nothing to do in Europe but to maintain such amicable and neutral relations as may leave her at leisure to pursue her designs in other quarters. The second principle is, that the natural fund of Russian aggrandizement, that out of which she must work an enlargement of her dominions, is on the side of Turkey, Greece, Persia, and remotely China.
Under these circumstances, it is certainly very possible that Alexander and Napoleon may have enough between them to constitute
a contract of partition. Napoleon may perhaps have said—it is to the common interest of the continent that the north and south should have its protector, I will assume the protection and the empire of the states south of the Vistula, do you in turn take those of the north. I will form an empire from the Atlantic to the Adriatic. Do you in turn form one from the Baltic to the Bosphorus. Let Turkey and Greece hail you as her deliverer, whilst Spain and Germany in turn acknowledges me. Our two empires will then have the natural boundaries of oceans and rivers, and there can be no apprehension that we can interfere with each other, as there can be no conceivable object for such interposition. Or grant even in the future vicissitudes of things it may so happen that France and Russia be so equally aggrandized, so proportionably augmented, that their relative strength will remain the same—that each will remain a match for the other, and that in this equality of strength the battle will as it ought to be—to the bravest. Why should we fear each other. Why should we stand in each others way to pursuits which must advance our common interest. In alliance we can effect any thing. If opposed to each other, we mutually check each other's glory. Is it not more therefore to our mutual interest that Russia and France should be both great together, than that from a jealously conceived by the one at the aggrandizement of the other, neither of them should be enabled to obtain that commanding station, for which nature intended them, and opportunity invites them.
Such we have little doubt is the plan which the French chief has chalked out to conciliate the friendship and alliance of Russia. There is something in this scheme of things which flatters her ambition. Imagine on the other hand that Russia was to declare against France. In such circumstances she would have to wage a perilous war, in which she could by no possibility gain much, but might lose every thing. Let no one therefore be surprised, that the emperor Alexander should retain his faith to France. In an immediate point of view, the alliance between France and Russia is an alliance of victory and participation. France, by her unexampled success, has so much to offer, that it is no reasonable subject of surprize, if by bribing so highly she should accomplish her point. The continent with all her kingdoms and principalities is at the feet of the French usurper, and if France remain passive Greece and Turkey, and Persia are equally at the command of the emperor Alexander. With such advantages in the contract between them, it is just matter of wonder that each should adhere to it. We confess, for our own parts, that before we had given the subject a due consideration, we ourselves felt some astonishment at the conduct of the Russian court. But upon an attentive view of its probable motives, it appears to us, that so long as Bonaparte is successful, so long as he is the strongest power on the continent, so long as he can most facilitate, or most impede the immediate views of Russia, so long will the emperor Alexander remain his magnanimous and faithful ally.
LONDON, May 6.
The Emperor Alexander. —The annexed intercepted letter, from the French minister of foreign affairs, to Bonaparte, is positively stated to be authentic. If so the hopes of any material change on the part of Russia, in favor of Austria, must be considerably weakened, if not altogether at an end. One passage of it is very important, as it shows that the violation of the integrity of the Austrian dominions formed an object of conferences held between Alexander and Napoleon. Notwithstanding the very confident assurance which is given of the authenticity of Champagne's letter, we cannot give complete credit to it.
Intercepted letter from Champagne, minister of foreign affairs, to Bonaparte. PARIS, Dec. 11, 1808.
SIRE, The correspondence of this day does not furnish me with any letter to lay before your majesty.
M. de Romanzoff has conversed with me upon the dispatches he has received from St. Petersburg yesterday. The emperor his master, had the goodness to write to him upon the affairs of his department, a letter of four pages, which places him altogether au courant . Before he received it he scarcely conceived himself to be minister for foreign affairs; for he was no longer informed of any thing. He had the kindness to give me an analysis of it—it is as follows:
"The emperor of Russia speaks of the successes he has just obtained in Finland; yet he is but half satisfied with gen. Buxhowden and he means to displace him. The reply of the English government deprives him
of almost all hope of a speedy peace, thinks that it is of importance always a door open for negotiation, and after whatever be the success of it, to go on. He has given an example of this in reply to prince Kourskin, who had given an account of the little success he had in demanding of the court of Vienna acknowledgement of Joseph the king. de Romanzoff read me this letter of the emperor to prince Kourskin; I thought the emperor will be satisfied with it. The emperor of Russia is astonished at the conduct of Austria, under the pretext which she founded. Austria wishes first to know the result of the conferences of Erfurth, it by disobliging," says the emperor, "she pretends to merit complaisance! she is uneasy at what has been said at Erfurth? Far from having wished to the interests of Austria, there was even there the integrity of that monarch (This assertion is evidently a mistake). The emperor's, who had not the treaty with him, an error occasioned probably by recollection of some conversations with majesty." "Thus whilst I am occupied with her interests," continues the emperor, "she replies by a refusal to accede to the demand I had made of her, and in order to seek my friendship, she evinces her distrust of my conduct at Erfurth. The emperor accuses Austria of complications in all her conduct, and in the language of M. de Matternich, M. de Stadion, M. de Vincent; he says that the acknowledgement demanded of her was the effect of the management which it was intended to shew her, in thus dispensing with the demand of a categorical declaration the prodigious increase of her military power. He does not see what is the object she is pursuing; and after having observed that when king Joseph shall be at Madrid the refusal of Austria to acknowledge him will only be an act of ridicule; he declares that if she has formed the senseless project of framing a new coalition, by leagueing herself with England, Turkey, and the Spanish insurgents, he is in condition to oppose and that united with the emperor Napoleon he could soon break that new league, and it would be to Austria the cause of dismemberment if not of total ruin."
"Such is the reply of the emperor Alexander, to the prince Kourskin. It will be sent to the Russian charge de affair Vienna, who has orders to communicate it to M. de Stadion. The charge de affair has lately written to M. Kourskin; it appears that this dispatch of the emperor's did not reach him, though it is dated the 11th of November."
"I could have wished that M. de Romanzoff would have left me a copy, he soon perceived that he was desirous of sending it himself to your majesty, and he was in hopes of your speedy return. That hope was too sweet to every Frenchman, as well as to M. de Romanzoff, who respects and admires your majesty as much as a Frenchman,) for me to entertain the hope which I am fond of sharing with him. But if it cannot be soon realized, I shall renew to your majesty the demand of repairing to you, if, after the reply of England, my remaining here should prove useless."
"I had the satisfaction to announce to you the arrival of the charge de affair M. de Romanzoff the arrival of your majesty at St. Martin, near Madrid, refer him for the details to the bulletin which will appear to-morrow, of the contents of which I am not yet informed."
"I am, with respect, sire, "Your majesty's most faithful "And devoted serv't & subject "CHAMPAGNY."

After which he turned to the Society and addressed them in the following impressive manner. "While I congratulate the Society on this occasion, I cannot but express the hope that the Hall, to be erected on this spot, may be sacredly devoted to the cultivation of friendship, of charity, of correct principles, and of ardent patriotism. Built by the friends of WASHINGTON, may it never be polluted by the enemies of that illustrious and revered statesman."
"Designated at the seat of rational republican sentiments, may it be forever preserved from the infuriated footsteps of Monarchy, Aristocracy, Anarchy and Jacobinism. And may our descendants to the latest generation meet on this spot, to commemorate the virtues of their revolutionary ancestors, to cherish and cultivate a love for the constitution, and the welfare of our country, and to greet each other as the genuine disciples of the WASHINGTON SCHOOL."
The procession passed the Corner Stone in review—the standard, &c. falling into its place, and then proceeded through Broadway, Wall, Pearl, Beekman and William streets to the North church; arrived there, opened to the right and left, and marched from the rear through the line thus opened, into the church.
The exercises in church were opened and closed with prayer; after the first prayer, the ode composed for the occasion, by Joseph Warren Brackett, Esq. was sung by Mr. Caulfield in a style of peculiar excellence. The declaration of independence
was then read, after which an oration was delivered by Gulian C. Verplanc, esq. admirably adapted to the occasion, and distinguished for its spirit, elegance and caustic satire.
As soon as the exercises in church ended, the procession was called out and formed according to their respective directions, and proceeded through Fair-street, past St. Paul's Church and the Park, through Chatham-street, Bowery, Rivington and Orchard streets to the rope walk, where a dinner was prepared for the society, at which they sat down, at three separate tables, the whole length of the rope walk, at about 5 o'clock.

States.  5. * That unity of government which constitutes us one people : The main pillar in the edifice of our real independence; the support of our tranquillity at home; of our peace abroad; of our safety; of our prosperity, of that very liberty which we so highly prize"—may it be perpetual.  6. The memory of the departed Sages and Patriots of our land.  7. The cause of liberty throughout the world.  8. The Federal Constitution —administered on the standard principles of republicanism, to advance the interests of the nation; not the elevation of a party.  9. Honest men of all parties —Though truth can be but on one side, sincerity may distinguish all.  10. The patriots of Spain —Their contest is for independence—for liberty—honor to their valor—victory to their arms.  11. The navy and army of the United States.  12. The surviving worthies of the revolution, never may our country forget that the friends of Washington are her friends.  13. The American fair. 
VOLUNTEERS. By the President —The new WASHINGTON HALL—may it prove to be the Hall of friendship and of correct principles, until "time shall be no longer."
By a Mechanic —The merchants of the city of New York.
By a Merchant —The mechanics of this city—success to their honest industry.
By a Member —Our negotiation with G. Britain—may its result be an honorable treaty—a token like the rainbow, that embargoes and non-intercourse will no more ever cloud our prosperity. The whole of the proceedings were conducted with the highest order and decorum. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the skill and exertions of Col. PLATT, who officiated as the Marshal of the day.
The Standard of the Society, is a large white satin flag, bearing on the one side a bust of Washington, on the other, the genius of America with suitable emblematic accompaniment, resting on a shield bearing a portrait of Washington with this motto, from his farewell address, "let that free constitution which is the work of our own hands, ever be sacredly maintained." It was borne by a revolutionary officer who had served thro' the war and been wounded at the battle of Monmouth.
* Washington's farewell address. The following is the Ode which was prepared for the occasion, and sung in Church: AUSPICIOUS DAY. —The annual right we bring, While grateful off'rings on thine altar blaze; And, while an Empire's birth thy vot'ries sing, Thy Genius, FREEDOM, thro' the scene pourtrays.
"Yet each death the patriot dares, "Honor's Standard dauntless rears; "Though he bleed, he scorns to yield, "Proudly braves the unequal field; "And swears, obedient to his country's call, "To live triumphant, or contending fall."
Wide o'er Columbia, storms deform the sky, The fiend of faction rul'd the dismal hour; The Genius saw, with anguish in his eye, Obscur'd her glory, & unnerv'd her power.
"Hush! again the prospect clears; "Vice with drooping crest appears; "Foreign wiles in vain assail, "Councils sway'd by truth prevail; "Throbs the gen'rous heart once more, "Peace and commerce greet our shore; "To WASHINGTON—to Virtue—sacred made, "Shall tow'r her face, the corner stone is laid."
The Genius spoke—when instant at the word, He saw his pupils round the altar bend: Each votive breast the fervent vow preferr'd, Their laws to guard—their liberty defend!
"Yes, the temple here shall rise, "Sacred incense reach the skies: "Orphan boys with transport glow, "Kiss the hand that soothed their woe; "Widows hush their sighs;—and here "Misery forgets its fear, "To times last act, reward shall crown the brave, "And honors deck the hoary patriot's grave."
Now Fancy hold each thought intent to hear; Visions descending future scenes enroll; Warm flows the strains that charm'd the Athenian ear, Such eloquence as fir'd the Roman soul.
"Statesmen catch the immortal flame: "Warriors pant for deathless fame;— "Patriots brave with rapture burn;— "Arts and industry return; "Justice, science, hither fly, "Reign beneath a genial sky. "Peace, Commerce, Freedom, seek your favorite shore, "Here spread your empire, and depart no more."
Alexandria Daily Gazette. WEDNESDAY, JULY 12.
The President of the U. S. and Heads of departments yesterday visited Fort Washington in barges—they were saluted as they passed this place in the morning by seventeen rounds from captain Marsteller's Artillery, and on their return by 17 rounds from a gun under the direction of the citizens, 17 from the British brig Sisters, and 17 from capt. Marsteller's Artillery.
As it should be —At a dinner on the 4th of July, at which Leib, Richards, Bartram, &c. were present, we observe among the toasts Thomas Jefferson—the embargo—the Constitution of Pennsylvania speedily renovated—the democratic county of Philadelphia—gen. Leib—George Bartram—J. Richards—and though last not least—col. Duane, commandant of fort Mifflin. At a dinner given by such men where such toasts were drunk we are glad to see that Mr. Madison or the president of the United States was not mentioned. We believe he will be glad himself. This is as it should be. There is meaning in it. [Phil. Gaz.]
NASHVILLE, June 16. Arrived at this place on Saturday last, the elegant barge Mary-Anne, capt. Sprigg, 87 days from New Orleans, burthen 57 tons. This barge is 87 feet long, and upwards of 16 wide. She was built at Cincinnati in Ohio, and was purchased by the present owner at New Orleans, who gave $1100 for her, and since has had her completely equipped with mast, spars and rigging, and is an excellent sailer; she was worked up by 22 hands. The amount of freight was upwards of $5000. The safety with which this barge came up the Cumberland, convince us at once, that with a small expence the Cumberland river might be made navigable for boats of 100 tons, as far up as this place.
TO FARMERS. To keep Crows from Corn. Take one quart of train oil, as much turpentine and bruised gunpowder; boil them together, and when hot, dip pieces of rags in the mixture, and fix them on sticks in the field. About four are sufficient for an acre of corn.
A curious fact in natural history. Mr. James Kerr, of the neighborhood of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, lately discovered in the heart of an oak tree he was splitting up to make shingles of, a live frog! From the growths of the tree, around the small cavity which contained this little ani-
mal, it is evident, that it had remained there confined, without the possibility of receiving either air or food, for 92 years! The tree shewed no signs of decay, except that the cavity (which was barely sufficient to contain its prisoner) was somewhat the color of the frog. When first taken out, it appeared to be dead, but in a short time gave signs of life and hopped.

RECOMMENDATION. The Superintendent of Police recommends to the citizens of Alexandria, during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keeping clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them. He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired—housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavengers carts may take it away.

LEE'S ELIXIR!
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures performed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consumptions, &c. of being immediately relieved, without saying any thing of the many thousands benefited in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Elixir, we give the names of the following persons who are well known to our citizens in general as persons of known integrity and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir.
Messrs. R. Lee and Son,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir , induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been afflicted with a severe cough, tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wasting of the flesh; having tried different medicines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance , 178, Market street, for some of your Elixir, which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood,
Market street, Baltimore
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elixir . Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try your Elixir, I procured two bottles of Messieurs Warner and Hanna , which has entirely removed the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which induced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other information I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's-street , Baltimore.
John Keller.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, during which time my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir , advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna , which I accordingly did—and to those persons unacquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH .

Market street, Fell's Point.

FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. C. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre , Monk , Adelgitha , &c. &c. Price handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil— Avaunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell.
RICHARD III.
In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis' writings or translations in the Romance style, being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, by Lewis. June 7—21
