TRIAL
OF
COL. AARON BURR.
Circuit Court of the United States for the fifth Circuit and District of Virginia.
Present JOHN MARSHALL, chief Justice of the United States.
And CYRUS GRIFFIN, judge of the district of Virginia.
Continuation of the Debate on the motion for a subpoena Duces Tecum.
WEDNESDAY, June 10.
Mr. Botts. In a government of laws, where majesty & prerogative are proscribed, and where the authorities of all the public functionaries are to be exercised for the benefit of the people, there are but few instances in which the policy of state secrecy can prevail. In the national intercourse with foreign states, where the relations present subjects fit for privacy, the rare duty of concealment may occur. Some time ago, when the hue and cry of treason was rung through the country, there might have been an excuse for the claim of securing from the eye of the suspected, particular acts of the cabinet. At this moment it will not be pretended, that the public good can require that col. Burr should not have the means from the departments required for his justification.
Can any innocent purpose said Mr. Botts, be subverted by the president's withholding the documents demanded? And will the counsel malign him by imputing to him a guilty one? The act of Congress provides fees for copies from the ministerial offices under the control of the president, and of every individual has a right to demand them on paying the statutory charges. If individuals in common have this right, why has it been denied to col. Burr whose fate may depend in some degree on them? One of the copies was promised, but the promise was forgotten! State policy in England has done a great deal of mischief; it has often sheltered wicked and corrupt ministers from the punishment due to their crimes: yet even there (where the principles of liberty are not understood so well as in this country) in sir Home Popham's trial, lord Melville, president of the board of admiralty, was compelled, a few months ago, to appear and give evidence concerning the instructions he had given to that admiral. I do not now complain of the illiberal caution of the gentlemen in keeping hidden their written evidence, which, if known in time, we might refute; but such testimony as we think material in our defence, we are, at any rate, entitled to, without favor from them. But the gentlemen have made a concession of great liberality! They say they are willing that the president may be summoned to attend; but not to give evidence when he does attend; not to disclose any thing but what he may himself condescend to make known. The president may be, and no doubt is, a very great and good man; but while his policy in relation to the accused is so completely enveloped in mystery, the counsel for the prosecution must pardon us, if we cannot consent to pin our faith on his sleeve, and if we choose rather to betake ourselves to our legal rights.
The opinion given by judge Chase on the trial of Cooper was reprobated by the politics of those gentlemen who prosecute for the United States, and yet they now wish to avail themselves of that authority. I congratulate them upon their dereliction of the old democratic opinions which prevailed at the time of Chase's trial, and which I thought would have gone with my friends to their graves.
Mr. M c Rae observed, that Mr. Botts had misrepresented the object for which he had introduced the opinion of judge Chase; that he had not pretended to use it as authority; but on the contrary, had expressly declared he scorned to avail himself of it.
Mr. Wickham said that judge Chase's opinion pronounced in the case of Cooper was not correctly understood. It was not that the president could not be summoned as a witness, but that he ought not to be summoned to give evidence against himself.
Mr. Botts proceeded to say, that even that qualified opinion of judge Chase had been reprobated by the gentlemen; but now they shelter themselves under it in effect, because they use it as authority against the success of the present motion.
The gentlemen contend that the executive must judge whether the documents require secrecy or not. But how can this argument be exercised until they are called upon?
And how can the government be legally called on but by process of subpoena duces tecum? When this is served the president may make out his return.
As to the argument that a copy of gen. Wilkinson's letter will be sufficient; suppose, said Mr. Botts, general Wilkinson should swear to one thing, and the copy of his letter should say another, would you condemn him upon the president's certificate merely that the paper produced contained a true copy of a letter from him?
He concluded with observing, "if a time shall ever arrive when a person shall stand accused of a crime of the highest nature; of a crime by which his life is endangered; if a part of this testimony shall be concealed by those who administer the government, and no policy of state requires it; and yet the court does not compel it to be produced to screen the devoted victim; it will be a disastrous time for our country."
[To be continued.]
From Poulson's Daily Advertiser.
Mr. Poulson—A few days since I sent you some extracts from the Chymical Catechism, which you were obliging enough to give a place. I now send you a few more the inserting of which will gratify several of your readers.
On the Study of Chymistry.
"It is no unusual thing for the votaries of chymistry to call it a fascinating science. That it is the most useful of all sciences cannot be denied; nor can there be the least doubt that it has a strong tendency to enchant those who devote their attention to it. It serves as powerful stimulus to you by occupying their time so satisfactorily to themselves, and rendering all low and unworthy pursuits truly despicable. But amidst the great variety of subjects which this science embraces, the changes which the metals undergo by their absorption of oxygen are perhaps more eminently calculated than any other of its departments, to give a relish for chymical pursuits, and to engage the young mind in the unremitted examination of the works of creation."
"The philosophic youth, To Nature's voice attends, from morn to morn, And day to day, through the revolving year; Admiring, sees her in her every shape; Feels all her sweet emotions at his heart; While TRUTH, divinely breaking on his mind, Elates his being, and unfolds his powers." THOMSON.
On the formation of the Earth.
"Some have imagined that the earth would have been much more convenient, if the whole had been a plain surface; and others have gone so far as to adduce the mountainous parts of the world as a proof of the imperfection of the works of nature; but independent of the beautiful variety which they give to the surface of the globe, they are the sole cause of all our springs, and the origin of rivers, without which we have a difficulty in conceiving how animal and vegetable life could have been preserved."
"Like the good man who, elevated by his rank, virtues and talents stands erect in conscious integrity, and dispenses blessings of every kind around him—they raise their towering heads towards heaven, to draw from thence the fructifying waters; and when purified by suffering them to percolate through their siliceous beds, they pour them forth in a thousand streams to fertilize and bless every region of the earth."
"I see the rivers in their infant beds! Deep, deep, I hear them, labouring to get free! I see the leaning strata, artful rang'd; The gaping fissures to receive the rains, The melting snows, and ever-dripping dews. Strew'd sinuous above, I see the sea sands, The pebbly gravel next, the layers then, Of mingled moulds, of more retentive earths, That, while the stealing moisture they transmit, Retard its motion, and forbid its waste." THOMSON.
"When we consider that the crystal spring and the meandering river owe their origin entirely to these eminences, dispersed over the earth's surface, what importance do they acquire in our estimation! and what reason have we to admire the wisdom of that Being who had an eye to every exigency, and in the infinity of his power has amply provided for them all!"
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
CALUMNY REFUTED.—In most of the democratic papers of our country, the federalists have been accused of being the advocates and admirers of Burr and of treason. The Aurora refining upon the profligate effrontery of others, has pronounced Federalism and Treason words of
synonymous import. These calumnies are ably refuted, in the following remarks from the Norfolk Ledger. These remarks will for the present supersede the necessity of an article, which we were preparing for ourselves on the same subject.
"The federalists are charged with being the advocates of Burr, and that purely from motives of opposition to the present administration; in answer to which we might say the democrats are his enemies, from their determination to support the administration, and ruin every man opposed to it, whether Burr be guilty or innocent. This is assertion against assertion and proves nothing. With respect to the motives which the democrats are actuated by, we have no knowledge of them, and shall not call them in question. But with respect to the federalists, we think their conduct is such as from their situation they might have been expected to pursue. It is not to save col. Burr, or to serve him that the federalists have taken any interest in his affairs, but from much more serious, important and patriotic motives—The constitution and laws made under it are the ramparts, which secure the rights of a minority, against the violence of a majority; every encroachment or invasion is viewed with anxiety by a minority. When therefore the federalists perceived that the arbitrary measures pursued at N. Orleans were countenanced by the administration, and that an attempt was openly made to place the liberty of the citizen in the hands of the military power, they had cause for alarm. If that ever to be detested proposition of Mr. Giles, to suspend the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus had succeeded, who we ask, would have been the victims of persecution? The supporters and flatterers of the administration, who never speak of it without eulogium? No. Those who are persuaded that the administration is not infallible, and who have the independence to question the wisdom of its measures, would have been the victims. It may be said that it is imputing too much to the majority to suppose, that armed with the power they would without cause oppress the minority—We need not carry our views to another country, on the other side of the Atlantic, in order to ascertain what a majority can do—we can satisfy ourselves on that subject without going out of our country; the occurrences at New Orleans will satisfy us, what would have been done in every part of the U. S. if Mr. Giles had found support in his measure. It was urged that the suspension of the benefit of the habeas corpus was necessary for the public safety. Is there a man of candor who will say that such was the case? The first position being taken, after one violation, others would have followed. Spies and informers, with the accompaniments of seizures, imprisonments and deportations would have followed in rapid order. The evils in the first instance would have fallen on those who are termed federalists, but would soon have extended itself far and wide, nor have ceased until the constitution itself had been subverted. With such sentiments then the federalists saw with deep concern the manner in which persons who were denounced as accomplices to Burr were treated. It was impossible to defend the constitution and laws, violated in the persons of Bollman, Swartwout, Adair, &c. without in some degree to appearance, defending the accused. But never have the federalists advocated Burr further than that he should have a fair and impartial trial, and stand condemned, or acquitted according to the result, nor have they gone thus far for the sake of colonel Burr, but from respect & attachment to the laws of their country. We are aware that it will be asked, how it happened that the federalists were forward in bailing col. Burr? It would be assuming more than we would wish, to say, that the feelings of humanity were more prevalent among the federalists; it is, however, pretty clear, that among the democrats he would not have found bail. We do not say that any man who had bailed Mr. Burr, would consequently have incurred the resentment of the administration; but we will venture to assert, that it would not have been a passport to executive favor, and the republicans with all their patriotism, have too much prudence to place any impediments in the way of their promotion. Upon the whole, we consider that the interest which the federalists take in the subject which agitates the public mind, arises from causes such as we have stated. The whole tenor of the conduct of the federalists in, and out of power, gives a positive contradiction to their being the advocates of treason, and the consequences which would flow from civil commotion, or violation of the laws."
"The crime of which Mr. Burr now stands charged with is a misdemeanor, in
preparing a military expedition against the dominions of the king of Spain, a prince at peace with the United States. It is a crime, we admit, but how long have other people thought such conduct criminal?
"Do some people suppose it is forgotten how strongly they supported Gen. his assumed right, to prepare military and naval expeditions against the commerce of Britain and the dominions of Spain? Aye, those very dominions against which it is said col. Burr was preparing his expedition. The civic feasts given to Hensfield and Singletery are not forgotten. Are not some of the persons who accepted commissions under Genet now in high confidence? Where is col. Hammond, who took one of those commissions? He was lately nominated as a colonel of the army, and rejected by the senate—but we set out to defend, and not to accuse."

NEW YORK, July 3.
GENERAL MEETING.
At a General Meeting of the Citizens of New York, held in the Park on Thursday, July 2d, 1807—the hon. De Witt Clinton was unanimously called to the chair and gen. Jacob Morton was unanimously appointed secretary, of the meeting.
Having received, with the most lively indignation, authentic information that, on the 22d ult. an attack, unwarranted by the known usages of nations and in violation of our national rights, was made off the Capes of Virginia, on the U. S. frigate Chesapeake, commodore Barron, by his Britannic majesty's armed ship the Leopard, captain Humphrey—The citizens of N. York, assembled in general meeting deem it to be their duty to express their opinions on this fresh outrage offered to their national sovereignty by the navy of Great Britain—
Resolved, That it is, and has been, the policy of our government, and the wish, because it is the interest of our citizens to be at peace with all the world.
Resolved, That altho' we cherish peace with the greatest sincerity, yet that we hold ourselves ready, at the call of our government to resist all infringements of our national rights and violation of our national honor.
Resolved, That we consider the dastardly and unprovoked attack made upon the U. S. armed ship the Chesapeake by his Britannic majesty's ship the Leopard, to be a violation of our national rights, as atrocious as it is unprecedented.
Resolved, That we are determined to maintain the rights and dignity of our country with our lives and fortunes, and that we will support our government in whatever measures it may deem necessary to adopt in the present crisis of affairs.
Resolved, That whatever differences of opinion may exist among us on our merely local concerns, yet that we love our country and will cordially unite in resisting the attempts of any nation to involve our rights or tarnish our national honor.
Resolved, That the offending ships at Hampton Roads have wantonly violated the laws of, and forfeited their title to national hospitality.
Resolved, That we highly approve the spirited and patriotic conduct of our fellow citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Hampton.
Resolved, That we deeply lament the death of those of our fellow citizens who fell, and sincerely sympathise with those who were wounded on board the Chesapeake.
DE WITT CLINTON, Chairman.
JACOB MORTON, Secretary.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2.
Meeting of the Citizens of the first Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday afternoon, July 1st, the citizens of the first congressional district of Pennsylvania, composed of the city and county of Philadelphia and county of Delaware, met pursuant to notice, in the courthouse yard, in the city of Philadelphia. No time or occasion has ever witnessed such a concourse of people.
MATHEW LAWLER, esq was called to the chair—and
JOSEPH HOPKINSON, esq. appointed secretary.
Dr. Michael Leib opened the business of the meeting and after some appropriate observations offered the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That the conduct of Great Britain, towards the United States, has been too often marked by hostility, injustice, and oppression, and that the outrage

committed by the Leopard, one of her ships of war, under the express orders of one of her admirals, upon the Chesapeake, a frigate belonging to the U. S. is an act of such consummate violence and wrong, and of so barbarous and murderous a character, that it will debase and degrade any nation, and much more so a nation of free men, to submit to it.
Resolved , That we will support the administration of the general government in all and every measure which may be adopted by them, to avenge the wrongs our country has suffered from Great Britain, and to compel the most rigid retribution; and that to attain a full measure of justice from her, we pledge ourselves to make any sacrifices to encounter any hazards.
Resolved , That the sentiments of this meeting be made known to the president of the U. S. as the spontaneous effusions of free men, on an occasion, when silence and indifference would betray a want of patriotism, if not a treasonable disposition towards the best interests of our country and the sacred rights of this nation.
The following resolution was then offered and adopted unanimously.
Resolved , That until the general government shall have adopted such measures as may be suggested by their spirit and wisdom, we will discountenance an intercourse with any of the vessels of war belonging to Great Britain; and that we will withhold from them all supplies or assistance which may be necessary to their aid and subsistence.
Charles Biddle, esq. then proposed the following resolution, which was adopted unanimously.
Resolved , That the citizens of Norfolk and Hampton, and its vicinity, deserve the thanks and applause of their fellow citizens throughout the union for their gallant, manly and patriotic conduct at the present momentous crisis.
The meeting then agreed to appoint a committee of correspondence, for the purpose of holding a communication with our fellow citizens in other parts of the United States, relative to the objects of this meeting.
The following gentlemen were appointed:
Mathew Lawler, Charles Biddle, Paul Cox, David Lennox, Thomas Forrest, Richard Dale, Walter Franklin, George Clymer, M. Leib, Thomas Leiper, Francis Gurney, James Engle, Joseph Hopkins, George Bartram, Edward Tilghman, Wm. Linnard, Michael Bright.
GEORGETOWN, (D. C.) July 1. Agreeably to public notice given this morning by the mayor, a very large and respectable number of the citizens of this place convened at the union tavern, for the purpose of expressing their sense of the late daring outrage on the
FLAG—HONOR—AND INDEPENDENCE
of the American nation, by the British squadron now lying in the Chesapeake Bay.
General JOHN MASON was chosen chairman and DAVID WILEY, secretary.
A communication from the corresponding committee of Norfolk, addressed to the mayor and citizens of this place was read.
On motion the following gentlemen were appointed a committee to draw up such resolutions as the occasion appeared to require—John Mason, Thomas Turner, Walter Smith, Stephen Blanch, Thomas Corcoran, James S. Morsell, Benjamin Stoddert and David Wiley.
After a short retirement, the committee made report—Whereupon,
Resolved unanimously , That this meeting consider the late unwarrantable, dastardly and wanton attack on the frigate Chesapeake, by the British ship of war Leopard, as an outrage on the peace and safety of the community, and on the honor of the nation, not to be borne with.
Resolved unanimously , That we consider the death of those of our fellow citizens who have fallen on this unprecedented occasion, as produced by a murder of the blackest dye, as calling loudly for unqualified redress, and if prompt and ample satisfaction be denied, for national vengeance.
As we first heard of this infamous act with astonishment, mingled with horror and indignation, so we yet regard it with feelings of deepest resentment, and of the most decisive determination that no sacrifice is too great to maintain our independence, national honor, and character. Devoted, by inclination and by habit, most sincerely to peace, we deprecate a state of war. But as there are cases where nothing is left but war or abject submission—war or national disgrace—war or the surrender of every thing we hold most dear in society
—the mind of a freeman—of an American citizen cannot balance one moment; therefore,
Resolved unanimously , That having entire confidence in the wisdom and firmness of our government to repel injury and insult, and to enforce redress, we pledge our lives and our fortunes to support all the measures which they may adopt, whether of immediate or ultimate resort to arms.
Resolved unanimously , That in the present state of things, and until the decision of our national councils shall be known, we concur most heartily with the determination of our fellow citizens of Norfolk, that all intercourse with the British ships of war in our harbors, or on our coasts, or with their agents among us, should be discontinued—that we will use our best endeavors to prevent such intercourse, and that all persons guilty thereof, shall be declared infamous.
Resolved unanimously , That immediate enquiries be made for the families, if such they had, of Joseph Arnold and Robert McDonald, said to have been our neighbors, and of the City of Washington, and who fell under the late piratical fire of British guns—and if there be such families, that a subscription be opened without loss of time by our committee appointed on this occasion (in conjunction with any committee from Washington) for their relief and comfortable support.

WASHINGTON, July 3.
At a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the City of Washington, convened at the Theatre on Wednesday the 1st instant, in consequence of a notification of the Mayor—
ROBERT BRENT, mayor of the city, was unanimously called to the chair, and LEWIS FORD, appointed Secretary.
The chairman opened the meeting by declaring the object for which it was called.
He then laid before them a letter from the meeting at Norfolk, containing a statement of their proceedings, which were read.
Col. Van Ness then rose and delivered an address of considerable length, painting in strong colors the atrocity of the conduct experienced by the ship Chesapeake, and inviting the citizens to such an expression of their sentiments, as should evince firmness, dignity, and decision: and concluded by moving the appointment of a committee to draft such resolutions as the occasion required.
Whereupon, Resolved unanimously , that a committee of five citizens be appointed to draft such resolutions as in their judgment the occasion requires.
The following persons were unanimously appointed.
John P. Van Ness, Samuel H. Smith, Daniel C. Brent, Thomas Munroe, Joseph Forrest.
The committee having retired, in a short time returned, and presented to the meeting the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted.
Resolved unanimously , That we have heard with a surprise, only surpassed by our abhorrence, of the late atrocious outrage offered by the commander of the British ship Leopard, to the rights of Americans and the honor of their country.
Resolved unanimously , That we are ready at a moment's warning, to obey the call of our country, by any resistance it may require, or sacrifice it may enjoin, to obtain redress for wrongs, which can no longer be endured without a total prostration of national character.
Resolved unanimously , That having full confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of our government, we pledge our lives and fortunes for the support of such measures as shall be adopted, calculated to convince our enemies that we are, and ever will remain, a free and independent people.
Resolved unanimously , That we warmly applaud the patriotic spirit of our countrymen, as already expressed in various parts of the United States, and will cheerfully and zealously co-operate with them in such further measures as the crisis shall require.
Resolved unanimously , That at such a crisis it becomes the whole people of the United States, decisively to express their sentiments and promptly to offer their services to their government, that the world may see that on such occasions as the present we are an undivided people.
Resolved unanimously , That the foregoing resolutions be transmitted to the President of the United States, and be likewise inserted in the public prints.
Resolved unanimously , That a committee of five citizens be appointed to correspond with such other committees as may be appointed in different parts of the United States.
John P. Van Ness, Samuel H. Smith, Daniel C. Brent, Thomas Munroe, and Joseph Forrest, were appointed said committee.
Resolved unanimously , That a subscription be opened by the corresponding committee for the relief of the widows and orphans of those persons inhumanly murdered, and generally for the relief of those wounded in said outrage.

POSTSCRIPT.
To the politeness of a Gentleman of this town, we are indebted for the Norfolk Herald , of July four, from which we copy the following interesting intelligence:
INSULT ON INSULT!!!
This day is the 4th of July (the anniversary of our independence) and the four British ships which have been at anchor off Lynhaven bay since the attack on the Chesapeake, weighed anchor yesterday, and are now drawn up in line of battle off Hampton. While we are penning this, we are in full expectation of their attempting a landing!
On the above intelligence reaching town the drums beat to arms, the companies of volunteers and militia immediately assembled, and are determined that not an English footstep shall longer pollute our shores with impunity. Let us remember that MILITIA drove these redoubled red coats, 4000 in number, from Lexington to Boston. Let us remember the Militia at Bunker's Hill, and Stark at Bennington! Let us remember that we are MEN, and if we can do no better, let each man take his tree and kill one. In the name of all that is holy, powerful, manly or just, are we to FEED THEM for KILLING US? Are we to suffer them to send a BOAT-LOAD of MURDERED CITIZENS ashore and take a LOAD of PROVISIONS in return? Are we to pay them, to hire them with the luxuries of our land, to cut our throats? Away with such words as COOLNESS and MODERATION, they are the cloak, the coverings of treachery, and we have heard too much, seen too much, and know whence this moderation proceeds
—from people who would tie our hands and bend our heads to the butcher! Let them beware, let us have no more of this —no MODERATION now—the storm is up, and at the least varying of the wind it will overwhelm domestic treason in its course.
Last evening three seamen who made their escape from the British line of battle ship the Triumph, arrived here. On being examined, they gave the following account: That on Wednesday morning, they in company with three other seamen, under the command of a lieutenant and 3 midshipmen, were sent ashore on Cape Henry in the tender, having on board an 18 pound carronade, cutlasses and small arms, for the purpose of getting fresh provisions, of which the ship is in much want. That on landing, the officers went in pursuit of a bullock near the beach, when these three poor men gave them the "dabble" and got into a forest where they remained all night, and meeting with some hospitable country people, were able to get to this borough.
A pilot boat passed this town this morning for Washington, said to have dispatches on board. A packet for Norfolk, with arms, &c. came too here this morning.
Palmer's Packet will sail for Norfolk, in a few days. July 7.
Sale Postponed.
OWING to the rain this day, the sale of Purdie's GARDEN and the adjoining Lands, is postponed until

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Fa-  mily Medicines, prepared by the late Rich- ard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled. Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMIL-  TON'S ELIXIR, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giv- ing me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, say- ing, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to bus- iness. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir. GEO. BENNET, jun. No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-ge-  neral of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success; whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary I have myself found it an excel- lent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accom- panied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to re- commend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable me- dicine, and deserving public attention. LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, ap- proaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speed- ily be expected, this medicine affords im- mediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be ex- pected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment, which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingre- dient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In ad- dition to the great cures mentioned in the let- ters from the chancellor of the state of Mary- land, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, late- ly published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of shew- ing the mild yet powerful qualities of this ex- traordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the for- midable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ew- bank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfect- ly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lo-  zenges, which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Moga- zine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm  Destroying Lozenges. I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offen- sive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The al- most incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, ex- pelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health. HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO, The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheu-  matic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and pre- vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any descripti- on of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a strong- er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu- matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Spasms, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originat- ed—and hence every relief which can be ad- ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.— Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex- pose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their peri- lous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and
other warm climate, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescrip- tions have been published to cure the disor- ders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS or  Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated through- out the European continent, and whose un- bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first con- sequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Ma- cubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violent- ly attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tis-  sot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accord- ingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the applica- tion of which, under God, have perfectly re- stored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder. THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness- maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor  Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the af- fliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providential- ly was recommended to apply at George Dob- bin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself per- fectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to ap- ply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his com- plaint was entirely removed, and he is now re- covering his strength with great rapidity.
