Continuation of Late News, Received by the ship Abeona , arrived at Baltimore.
LONDON, December 20.
HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY.
DOCTORS' COMMONS, Dec. 19.
This day the right honorable sir William Scott proceeded to the adjudication of the following ship case:
Hannah, Holmes, master. This American vessel, with a cargo of colonial produce, was captured by his majesty's ship of war Ramilies , Francis Pickmore, Esq. commander, and brought to Portsmouth. Cargo restored as claimed.
February 3.
Yesterday we received Paris papers to the 24th, Batavian Gazettes to the 28th ult. and the four first of the five Hamburg mails due arrived.
From all these sources we have given copious extracts. The principal features of the intelligence they contain are, the evacuation of Vienna by the French, the actual march of Napoleon's troops against Naples, the return of the army of England to the opposite coast, the approaching triumphal entry of the emperor of the French into his capital, and his determination to exclude the British commerce from every part of the continent to which his power and influence extend.
American papers 9th ult. have reached us. They were brought by the Prince Adolphus packet, which arrived on Tuesday at Falmouth from New York. The report of an embargo having been laid on British shipping in American ports is unfounded: though it appears that a general feeling of resentment at the captures authorised by the British government, pervades, not only the merchants, but the legislature of the United States also. The ports and harbors are to be immediately put in a state of security and defence: 250,000 dollars have been appropriated to the building of gun boats, and 660,000 dollars to building six line of battle ships. The merchants at N. York, at a general meeting, had addressed a memorial to the president and the Congress, for redress. But while this is directed against England, the mercantile interest is far from being upon good terms with our enemies. American vessels are captured or plundered in the West Indies by Haytians, French and Spaniards; and it is said that Bonaparte has threatened America with the weight of his resentment, if she do not concede the points in dispute between her and Spain.
It is said that 100,000 carcasses, of an entirely new invention, are now preparing at Woolwich, for an attack on Boulogne in the spring. They are filled with a composition peculiarly destructive, and when once they have taken fire, nothing can prevent their explosion, nor, after the explosion, extinguish the flame. They may be thrown with great precision to a distance of 200 yards.
A letter, of which the following is an extract, has been received from an officer on board of one of sir Home Popham's squadron. It is dated Bay of All Souls, St. Salvatore*, 26th Nov. 1805: "Soon after our sailing from Madeira, sir Home Popham hoisted his pendant as commander of the squadron. When we were within 14 days sail of this place, twelve of the fastest sailing ships were dispatched for the purpose of obtaining a supply of provisions and water. On our arrival, we found two of the ships unfortunately had been wrecked, the Britannia East India man, having on board a detachment of troops, and the King George transport laden with ordinance stores."
A small brig called the Jack , is also missing; but it is supposed she has bore up for some of the West-India islands. I am happy to say, that the whole of the persons on board of the two ships were saved, except three, one of whom, I understand is a staff officer. Our destination is still a profound secret; but I trust, ere long, you will hear of our being successful. The whole of the squadron with the troops amounting to upwards of 9000, are in perfect health, there not being 100 persons on the sick list."

Turkey. —The intelligence from the Servian frontiers became more and more important, and announces an open contest between the Ottoman government and the insurgents of Servia. The latter are now in possession of Semendria, one of the principal bulwarks of their country. The porte refused to receive the deputies whom the insurgents sent to Constantinople to treat with the divan. These deputies have, therefore, returned to their constituents, without being able to fulfil their mission. The grand seignior, instead of listening to the propositions of accommodation which the Servians had resolved to make, determined to send into their country considerable forces to reduce them. Czerni George, the chief of the insurgents, was no sooner informed of the intentions of the Ottoman government, than he convoked an assembly of the principal Servian commanders at Semendria, and which was held about the beginning of December last. Czerni George opened the meeting by a very long speech, in which he explained the dangers with which Servia was threatened, by the approach of a very numerous Turkish army, and also the means which might be employed, to avert these dangers. After a long deliberation, this assembly adopted a resolution which is in substance as follows: "1. The Servian army shall be reinforced to 100,000 men. 2. Every measure and disposition necessary to prevent an invasion shall be adopted under the direction of the general in chief. 3. The Servian troops shall be supported from week to week by districts, which shall be particularly specified. The punishment of death is decreed against every soldier who shall plunder any of the inhabitants. 4. Strict discipline shall be established in all the corps of the Servian insurgents; every soldier shall pay the most absolute obedience to his superiors, and every chief may punish deserters with death, without making a report to the general in chief. 5. The fortress of Semendria shall be put in the best state of defence. It shall have a garrison of 6000 men, and shall be supplied with provision for two years. 6. The siege of Belgrade shall be continued with the greatest vigor, and if that place does not surrender itself soon, it shall be taken by assault."
February 5.
A letter from Lisbon, of the 30th ult. says, "A vessel is arrived here from Bahia, on the coast of Brazil, which left the English expedition under general Baird, taking in refreshments at that settlement. Its destination was reported to be the Cape of Good Hope; by others the River Plate. The Britannia , Birch , from London to India, and the King George , transport, were lost on the 4th November, in Parayba river, on the coast of Brazil. General Yorke, and a private artilleryman, were drowned on this occasion."
The following letter came by the mails on Sunday, dated Berlin January 18:
"It is confidently stated here that among the ulterior objects of ambition with the emperor Napoleon, it is his intention to make Lucien Bonaparte, king of Spain, Jerome king of Naples; Beutharnois, king of Italy; Louis, king of Holland; and Murat, king of Poland. During his stay at Vienna, the emperor discovered from the books of Friess the banker, an order to——It was in consequence of Bonaparte's express demand that Cobentzel was removed. The sums in the hands of that banker at the farther disposal of England, he appropriated to himself and on that account he said lightened the burthens imposed on that city. It is considered certain that the duke of Brunswick will receive the electoral dignity; but it is not said from what territory he is to take his title. Some say that he will retain that of Brunswick Wolfenbuttle, others think that he will make an exchange with the king of Prussia of his own territory, for Paderborn and Hilsdenheim, and call himself elector of Westphalia; but most think and with the greatest apparent probability, that he will obtain the electoral dignity of Hanover. The duke of Brunswick goes to Presburg to communicate to that court the necessary explanations respecting the policy which the king deems most conducive to his own security, and that of the whole north of Europe. The mission is expected to draw closer than before, Russia, Prussia and Saxony. The royal dignity was offered to the elector of Saxony but declined."
The modest usurper insists upon Prussia's giving up Silesia, to the house of Austria as an indemnification for the Tyrol, and to take Hanover in lieu of it; also the port of Embden, and the whole of east Friesland to the Dutch; for which he proposes in return, some part of Holland contiguous to Prussia.
These and several other changes of an inferior nature, he insists upon as sine qua non of his friendship."
Private Correspondence.
Paris, January 12.
"If our internal situation was as prosperous as our external exploits are brilliant we would be the most happy and wealthy people in the universe. The reverse is unfortunately the case. While imperial favorites riot in luxury, and scandalize by extravagance, the community at large are wretched, oppressed by taxes, tormented with distrust, suffering equally from a ruined commerce, from want of confidence and from penury, which is as difficult to be described, as to be believed by foreigners, who have no other opportunity of judging of Bonaparte's empire, but from the columns or paragraphs of the Moniteur ."
"It is said that new proposals of peace will immediately after Bonaparte's return here be made to England. If they are refused the army on our coast will be doubled, and the invasion of England, Scotland and Ireland will undoubtedly take place before the next autumn."
"Orders have arrived to form new magazines not only on the coast near Boulogne and Brest, but on the Spanish frontiers; and our politicians pretend, that before we finally settle our differences with Prussia, Russia, and Sweden and other states in the north, Spain and Portugal will, in the south of Europe, recompense some members of the Bonaparte dynasty with new diadems."
"At Toulon they are very active in equipping five ships of the line and four frigates, which are reported to be destined first for Carthagena, and afterwarde for the West Indies; if they can escape your cruisers."
Another private letter.
January 25.
"Besides the electorates already elevated into kingdoms by our emperor, he intends according to report, to confer, the same honors on the republics of Helvetia & Batavia. His brother-in-law Murat, is intended as the sovereign of the latter, and his brother-in-law prince Borghese, is to be king of the former. The electors of Saxony and of Hesse have also been offered regal rank, if consenting to certain pecuniary sacrifices."
"Spain will, within 12 months (remember what I write) share the fate of Italy. With Portugal, she is intended to be ruled by the sceptre of a Bonaparte; but whether by that of a Joseph, Lucien, or Jerome, depends upon the success of our cabinet in its plan on the Turkish empire, or in its intrigues with Prussia, Russia and the other courts of the north."
"Some serious jealousies had broken out between our principal generals. Bernadotte's favor with our emperor increased so much after the battle of Austerlitz, that he was promised a princely rank; but no sooner was this known than Soult, Augereau and Massena demanded the same titles. After some discussion, Napoleon followed the advice of Berthier and Talleyrand, and determined to promote all his field marshals to princes; if no sooner, they will be proclaimed as such on the 2nd of May."
February 6.
"Rumors of pacific overtures having been made by the French government, were prevalent in the city yesterday, which added to the general satisfaction at the recent popular change of administration, produced a rise in the price of stocks."
February 7.
"We this day insert under the head "Russian Note," an article which must be read with great interest. Although without a signature or date, it is, in the northern parts of Germany, particularly in the diplomatic circles, considered as authentic and attributed to prince Dolgoruki, the Russian officer who, our readers will recollect had an interview with the emperor Napoleon previous to the battle of Austerlitz. None of the German editors have dared to publish a copy of it in their journals. It has, however, in a printed form, considerable circulation, and has even found its way into Holland, where notwithstanding all the exertions of the government, is read in private companies. We certainly did not want any new proofs of the insidious arts and treacherous policy of Bonaparte; but if such were wanting they will be found in this note."
RUSSIAN NOTE.
Refutation of certain misrepresentations which have been circulated with a malignant design.
"Having remarked, in different journals, various misrepresentations respecting the missions
with which prince Dolgoruki was charged on the part of his sovereign, to Bonaparte—misrepresentations which have been sanctioned by the thirtieth bulletin of the French army—it has become necessary to refute them, to prevent the forgers of false intelligence from continuing their practices."
"The Russian officer who was sent to Bonaparte, at his request, after the refusal of the emperor of Russia to have an interview with him, upon his arrival at the advanced post of the French army, did not wait long before he saw Bonaparte approach, guarded by two squadrons. He approached the Russian officer with great politeness, and conversed with him for some time, about uninteresting subjects; then, making a sudden stop, he said, "well, then, are we to fight much longer?" Upon receiving an answer, that it was impossible to decide that point, he asked, "what do they want with me? why does the emperor of Russia make war upon me? What does he require of me?" Upon which a political discussion arose, which was not begun by the Russian officer; on the contrary he was drawn into it by questions of a political tendency, put to him by Bonaparte. It would take up too much time to relate all that passed in this conversation: Bonaparte frequently repeated, that the emperor of Russia had only to invade the possessions of his allies, and that all difficulties with France would cease. He spoke of the Ottoman Porte, and, in a vague manner, of other countries bordering upon Russia. Upon the visible repugnance manifested by the Russian officer towards proposals so little worthy of the acknowledged character of his august sovereign, Bonaparte returned to the subject of his being ignorant why they had made war upon him, although it had been mentioned to him several times, that the emperor of Russia's only reason for arming was to succour Austria, and preserve the independence of the other States of Europe, without having the least hostile views against France, and still less against the French nation, which the Emperor Alexander esteemed as it deserved; and far from wishing it any harm, his greatest wish was to see it happy and tranquil, as well as all the powers of Europe. As to himself, he wanted nothing; content with the vast empire over which he reigned, and having no other ambition than to contribute, as he does, to the happiness of his subjects, and to fulfil one of the noblest duties of a great sovereign, that of being useful to his allies, of securing their independence, and not in attacking it after the example of those who bring affliction on the human race by the abuse of that power which chance has placed in his hands."
"As to the proposals of giving up Belgium, and placing the iron crown upon the head of his most implacable enemy (it was the king of Sardinia he meant) they were never made—on the contrary, upon Bonaparte's affecting to assert that such demands had been made to him, the Russian officer positively denied that any such article had ever existed; and he only mentioned among others, that which regarded the real independence of the Batavian republic, which had been already verbally acknowledged by Bonaparte, and that of an establishment for the king of Sardinia in Italy, and an indemnity for his states, which had been invaded by France, referring in support of these proposals, to the tenor of the treaties and conventions, which existed between the emperor and the first consul of the French republic."
"The whole of the conversation, which lasted more than an hour, was confined to these points: Bonaparte always reverting to his projects of invasion, and the Russian officer rejecting them in the name of his sovereign, and requiring nothing more than the real security and tranquillity of all the states of Europe. At last, convinced by the conversation of the Russian officer that it was impossible to prevail upon the emperor Alexander to imitate his conduct, to betray his allies, and to take possession of their states, Bonaparte put an end to the discourse, by abruptly declaring, "Well then, we shall fight," to which the Russian officer made no answer, but returned."
"All that has been said respecting the battle of Wischau, is just as false as what has been reported of the battle of Lambach, Amstetten, and more particularly of Kremz, in every one of which the Russians had the advantage. In the last almost totally destroyed the division of general Mortier. One general, sixty five officers, and five hundred soldiers taken prisoners, five stand of colors, and eight pieces of cannon, were the trophies taken from the French. At the affair of Hollebrunn, the rear-guard only of the Russians, consisting of five thousand three hundred men was attacked; and notwithstanding the French army to the amount of forty thousand, headed by Bonaparte, had on all sides surrounded and attacked the Russians, and occupied the village of Statzeldorff, through which they were obliged to retreat, the Russians, notwithstanding, preferring death with arms in their hands to be taken prisoners, forced their way through the enemy, took several prisoners, and one stand of colours, without losing any of their own, and effected a junction with their own army with no greater loss than that of the French, notwithstanding the superiority of the latter."
"At the battle of Wischau, (or Austerlitz) in which the emperor Alexander was engaged, exposing himself in every place where the danger was most imminent, the Russian advanced guard, which alone was engaged, obtained considerable advantages, the loss of the French prisoners only, being 24 officers, and more than 500 men."
"As to the drowned persons, whose cries are still heard from the bottom of the lake, the tale

too ridiculous to render its refutation necessa- ry; all that is deemed incumbent to affirm is, that not a single being had an opportunity of showing himself at the battle of Austerlitz, let him have been ever so well inclined to do so."
ADDRESS OF BONAPARTE TO HIS ARMY. From my imperial camp at Schoenbrunn, Dec. 27.
SOLDIERS! "For ten years I have done all I could to save the king of Naples: he has done every thing to destroy himself." "After the battle of Dego, of Mondovi, and Lodi, he could give me no effectual opposition. I placed confidence in the word of this prince, and I behaved with generosity towards him." "When the second coalition was dissolved at Marengo, the king of Naples, who was the first to commence that unjust war, abandoned at Lunéville by his allies, remained alone, and without protection. He solicited my pardon, and I forgave him a second time."
"A few weeks ago you were at the gates of Naples, I had sufficient reason to suspect the trea- chery which was intended, & to avenge the insult which I had received. Still I was generous, I acknowledged the neutrality of Naples; I or- dered you to evacuate that kingdom, and for the third time, the house of Naples was confirmed and saved."
"Shall we grant pardon for the fourth time? Shall we for a fourth time, place any confidence in a court without truth, honor, or common sense? No!! The Neapolitan Dynasty has ceased to reign; Its existence is incompatible with the repose of Europe, and the honor of our crown."
"Soldiers! March, drive into the sea, if they will wait your attack, these feeble battalions of the tyrants of the sea. Shew to the world the manner in which we punish the perfidious. Lose no time in informing me, that the whole of Ita- ly is subject to my laws or those of my allies; that the finest country in the world is emancipated from the yoke of the most perfidious of men; that the sacredness of treaties is avenged, and that the names of my brave soldiers, massacred in the ports of Sicily, on their return from E- gypt, after having escaped from the dangers of the sea, the deserts and a hundred battles are at length appeased."
DEAL, February 6. Extract of a letter from Muscat, dated July 13, 1805, received at Calcutta in August.
"The Wahabois have laid siege to Judda, which has made all kinds of provisions very scarce: rice at 24 dollars per bag, and Bengal sugar at 18 dollars per bag. Four- teen American ships have arrived at Mocha, for coffee, which article is risen from 30 to 60 dollars per bag. Rice at this place is at 10 dollars per bag; sugar as above. There will be no less than 25 Arab ships this year for your port." "Whilst the ship Henry Wellesley was at anchor in Muscat Roads, in June, eight or ten large dows arrived at that port from the Red Sea; they were all in ballast, having been able to procure a single bale of coffee, for which article they had principally gone. These ves- sels reported, that the Americans has bought up the whole that was in the market, at an advanced and exor- bitant price."
HAMBURGH, January 31.
Letters from Vienna, of the 22d instant, confirm the nomination of the count de Stadion, formerly minister from Austria to St. Petersburg, as minister for Foreign Affairs. A treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, is said to be on the point of conclusion between Austria and France. Bohemia, Wallachia and Servia, are to in- demnify the emperor for the loss of Venice and the Ty- rol. To the governor of the latter country, his majesty has written a most impressive letter, lamenting the im- perious circumstances that forced him to give up the sovereignty of that country."
"The Archduke Charles on his return to Vienna, im- mediately solicited marks of distinction for the officers and soldiers, who had signalized themselves under his command in Italy. They were readily granted by his brother. All the views of Napoleon are directed to the conquest of the Ottoman empire, and Constantinople is mentioned as the future residence of the Holy Fa- ther."

IMPORTANT.
A letter received in this city from Bor- deaux, dated the 17th February, states that the English were liberating all American vessels. (Philadelphia paper.)
It was reported at Nantz, the 21st ult. when the Richmond sailed, that several attempts had been made to assassinate Bonaparte; and that several ladies of high rank, had been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in this most diabolical attempt! (N. Y. pap.)
The Rochefort squadron returned into that port on the 23d December. They are said to have made 39 prizes during their cruise. (Balt. Fed. Gaz.)
A letter of a recent date from Bordeaux is received in town, stating, that Bonaparte, unable to coax the king of Prussia into an acquiescence in his demands, had put him- self again at the head of his armies, to force his mandates; and that Prussia, in con- junction with Russia and the other north- ern powers, had determined to seek safety and take counsel only from their courage and desperation. (ibid.)
The gentleman, who furnished us with the following article translated from a Freñch paper, together with an extract of a letter from Nantz, will accept our best thanks for his politeness and attention: "The Journal of Commerce, of 20th January, (a Paris paper) after giving the heads of the President's Message, makes the following remarks:
"The message of the president is much longer, but we have given a faithful sketch of it. By its perusal, it must be seen that at the moment when our own fears are dissipated, when the motives for war are gradually disappearing from the continent of Europe, that of North America appears threatened with new convulsions. It is but too certain that ere long, both the inter- ests and policy of the United States, will be in direct opposition to those of the prin- cipal powers in Europe." (N. Y. Com. Adv.)
Extracts from the log book of the Schooner General Eaton, Robinson, commander, arrived at Bal- timore.
January 20. While laying at Gonaives, the schooners Amphion, Topaz and Spy got under way without clearances, and were fired upon by the fort, which they returned, and got off, it is believed, without much damage. The negroes vented their rage for this conduct on the Ameri- cans on shore, whom they arrested and abused, but finally released them at 6, P. M.
For several days after this affair, all the armed vessels in the harbour laid with springs to their cables, in readiness to fire upon the town in case a outrage was committed.
February 27. Got under way in co. with the armed brig Numa, Wilson, ship John and James, Langford, brig Hero, Thompson, and sch'r Fi- nancier and Exchange.
28. Saw three schooners, which we were in- formed the following day by a British 20 gun ship we're French privateers—Same day parted company with the ship John & James and brig Hero—they being bound to Port de Paix.
March 3. The Caicos in sight, saw two French privateers at anchor, who got underway and gave us chase.
At half past meridian the two privateers came up, fired a gun to windward, and hoisted French colors. The Numa and General Eaton formed a line, hoisted the American colors and returned the fire. A brisk action now took place, with heavy guns and small arms. At 4 o'clock the two privateers bore down on the General Eaton with an intention of boarding; one on the lar- board and the other on the starboard quarter.— The Numa by a lucky shot carried away the main boom of one, and the other coming under our stern and firing a shower of musket balls, re- ceived a shot from one of our stern chases, con- taining five 12 lb. cannoneers, which caused him to haul off, and endeavor to seize upon some of the unarmed vessels. This we prevented by giv- ing him chase, until 5 P. M. when believing the convoy out of danger, we returned and joined the Numa before night. The largest of the pri- vateers mounted six carriage guns, and a twenty four pounder a mid ship—the other four guns, and one eighteen pounder. They were manned by about 100 men each; and from their crowded appearance, must have loft many people.
The Numa had one man killed and two wounded, and the General Eaton one (Albert Myers) killed in this action. We received a bout 100 grape shot in our sails, masts, and hull.

NEW KINGDOMS.
As Bavaria, Wirtemberg, and Baden, have lately been erected into Kingdoms, the following account of their extent, population, and revenues, may not be unaccept- able:
The Electorate of Bavaria contained Square miles 16,176 Population 1,934,000 Revenues 1,066,000 Forces 12,000
Now this is converted into a kingdom, according to the accounts more recently received, it will have its re- venues and population doubled; and all that at the ex- pence of the house of Austria.
Wirtemberg contained: Square miles 3,200 Population 600,000 Revenues 245,000 Forces 6,000
This Electorate most probably will be more than tre- bled, else it will ill be able to support the royal dignity intended to be conferred upon it.
The revenues, territories, and population of Baden, another of the favoured Princes, are still inferior to those of the duke of Wirtemberg, and were as under:
Extent in square miles 832 Population 200,000 Revenue 140,000 Forces 1,500
After the treaty of Luneville, Austria contained: Extent in square miles 179,904 Population 19,439,000 Revenues 10,500,000 Forces 365,000
The united revenues of the three favoured powers amounted to 2,941,000, or between one fifth and one sixth of the revenues of the Imperial family; their terri- tories, united to 50,208 square miles, which is only one eighth of those of the emperor; their forces in 19,500 men, which is not equal to much more than one twen- tieth.
From the Washington Federalist.
MR. PRINTER. Just after the closed Doors scene last week, on Friday, I overheard the following —which I give you as nearly as I can re- collect word for word, and probably should have heard more, if the gentlemen who
were speaking (unobserved as they thought) had not been suddenly interrupted by a per- son who turned the corner upon them.
1st. Speaker. What do you think of J. Randolph's conduct; his manner alarmed me, and his words have made a deep im- pression on my mind. What are we com- ing to?
2d. Speaker. What words? 1st. S. Why these; did you not notice him?
"The Secretary of State informed me— JOHN RANDOLPH; that we could not settle with Spain; that France would not permit Spain to adjust differences with us; that France must have money, and we must give it."
2d. S. I did, and was greatly hurt; but—
1st. S. [Interrupting him] Did you observe what he said of the Secretary of State?
2d. S. When? 1st. S. I mean when he observed, that "he never had had the greatest confidence in that officer—but now" [taking up his hat] "it was gone forever."—throwing his hat across the room.
At this moment my curiosity was great- ly raised; and I was expecting the answer; when a gentleman appeared, and interrupt- ed the speakers, who immediately went a- way; leaving me to the most unpleasant reflections respecting the honor of my coun- try.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asth- mas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Con- sumptions.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an 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 tak- ing it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-Ge- neral of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen,
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 me- dicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very com- plicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various com- plaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent in- toxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unwholesome or excessive use of mercury—the diseases pecu- liar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obstinate gleet,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impover- ishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourish- ment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EX- TRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palley, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN,
I purchased at your shop the prepa- rations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mus- tard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this let- ter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.

John Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, be- tween Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily makes oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medi- cal advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various danger- ous complaints arising from worms, and from obstruc- tions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with vi-
olence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this is contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and I find in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, with- out pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is loal or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross hu- mors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the light and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Asca- rides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often ma- ny yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagree- able breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupt- ed gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Con- vulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep— Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vo- miting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excellent thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealth- thy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attend- ed with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the ne- cessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—
By Hamilton's
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Har- ford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be con- ceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite waf- ed rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a- bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the pos- session of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify— particular mild- ness is abundantly evident in innum- ble cures of in- fants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York-town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accom- plish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very rest- less at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appear- ance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite re- sembled very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh a lively com- plexion. Upon different occasions I have used this me- dicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this me- dicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
