ENGLAND. HOUSE OF COMMONS.
APRIL 23.
On the motion of Mr. Secretary FOX, the order of the day was read, for taking into consideration his majesty's most gracious message. The message was then read.
Mr. Secretary FOX rose, and spoke to the following effect: "I am sure that it is impossible that the message we have now read, can fail to excite the strongest sensation in every temper and disposition of mind which can exist in this house. In the first place, when we hear it stated that his majesty had abstained from appealing to his British subjects, on account of the violence and injustice which had been done to him in the seizure of his electoral dominions, it is impossible not to feel grateful for that kindness and mildness which his majesty has always shown to the subjects of this realm. It was with the most extreme reluctance, that he could consent to involve them in war upon any ground, that was not immediately and directly connected with British interests. After the sentiment of gratitude to his majesty for this tender consideration for his subjects of this kingdom, the next feeling which must be strongly excited by the message is a feeling of just indignation at the conduct of the court of Prussia. I hope that every member, while he feels this just indignation, will, at the same time, perceive the propriety of uniting the most vigorous measures with a language temperate and moderate, and which does not violate that respect which had been always considered due to crowned heads, and ought not, in the present time, to be departed from. Indeed, to describe justly the measures which have been adopted by the court of Prussia against this country, they cannot be called the measures of the king of Prussia, for that sovereign is known to be of a mild and pacific disposition, nor could they be called the measures of his ministers, for no ministers could freely advise a proceeding so violent and injurious to the interests of that monarch. The measures must be considered such as his Prussian majesty had been induced to adopt, from the pernicious counsels of the enemies of this country. Had it been my object to condemn, in the strongest terms, the decision of the Prussian cabinet, I might have thought it necessary to lay some additional papers on the table, but that not being my object, I have moved but for few. More would have been unnecessary, as it was not my wish to give the strongest possible colouring to the accusation that the message contains. If we are to understand those proceedings which have terminated in an outrage, unprecedented in the history of the worst proceedings of the worst times of Europe, it will be necessary to view the transaction a little earlier. The origin of this proceeding is to be traced to the convention, concluded at Vienna, on the 15th of December, between count Haugwitz and the French emperor; but when it is considered, what was the situation of Prussia, at the time that its sovereign concluded that treaty with France, it must be recollected, that its means of negotiation were still greater than what it derived from its own resources, or its own armies. The armies of Prussia were undoubtedly numerous and respectable; but it was on them alone that the king of Prussia relied, when he was negotiating with France? Certainly it was not. He had a strong additional support, which gave weight to his negotiations: The emperor of Russia, after he had left Austerlitz gave the whole direction of the Russian troops that remained in Germany to the command of the king of Prussia. This country too had promised him a powerful assistance by pecuniary supplies, if he should be driven to a war with France. These were the means he possessed of giving weight to his negotiations; and how did he apply those means? Why, to seize a part of the territories of one of those powers which had been supporting him in that rank and situation, which enabled him to conclude his treaty. (Loud cries of hear! hear!) After this treaty was signed, a considerable difficulty remained in the execution of it. This difficulty proceeded, in a great measure, from the just scruples of the king of Prussia, who perceived it would be very hard to prevail upon his Britannic majesty to ratify such a treaty, and who, therefore, felt that his title would be so bad as to make the acquisition of Hanover, under these circumstances, a poor equivalent for those provinces that he was obliged to give up to France. He felt, besides, that upon no principle of justice could he pretend to take it on other terms from those which France herself had held it on, and therefore, at first, he did not pretend to take
Hanover absolutely, but with the power of restoring it. France, in the mean time, pressed for the cession of Anspach and Bayreuth. What then did the king of Prussia do? Certainly he could not expect that the French government would be able to negotiate between him and his Britannic majesty, that he should be allowed to retain Hanover; and therefore he finally resolved to seize it without the consent of his majesty; and under the pretence of an equivalent for Anspach, Bayreuth, and those provinces which were ceded to France.
It cannot then be said that this treaty, and the proceedings which followed it, were altogether the effect of fear, for what was the necessity under which his Prussian majesty was placed? was it merely the necessity of ceding Anspach and Bayreuth? This might have been a considerable misfortune, yet it was one which might be justified by necessity. But the sort of necessity claimed by the king of Prussia, is different, he says, because I have lost Anspach, and Bayreuth, I therefore feel myself under the necessity of seizing the dominions of some third power; not only of a third power, but of one that, from all times, and by every circumstance, I was bound to respect. This is the sort of necessity claimed by the Prussian court, and it is that which makes the case of Prussia much worse than that of any other nation in Europe. As for Spain (I do not wish to revive the differences of opinion with respect to the Spanish war) but Spain, I say, would comply no farther with the wishes of our enemies, than by giving a sum of money. Holland and other powers have been, from terror, obliged to make cessions of territory to France, but no other power has been compelled by terror, to commit robberies or spoliation on its neighbors. (A cry of hear! hear!) It is in this that the case of Prussia stands distinguished from that of all other nations. We cannot help looking with some degree of pity and contempt, on a power that can allege that it is reduced to such a necessity that would be in itself, a considerable humiliation or degradation to Prussia, to be obliged to give up those provinces to which it was so much attached, and which had been called 'the Cradle of the House of Brandenburg.' The degradation of this cession was still much increased by the conduct of the people of Anspach, who entreated their Sovereign not to abandon them. Instead of lessening the ignominy of the cession, it was a great increase of dishonor, to sell a brave and loyal people for what was called an equivalent; it was an union of every thing that was contemptible in servility with every thing that is odious in rapacity. (hear! hear!) On the 26th of January an official letter was written from Baron Hardenberg to Mr. Jackson, expressly stating it to be the intention of his Prussian majesty to take possession of Hanover only until the conclusion of peace between England and France. To this letter his majesty was pleased to answer, that he had placed the utmost reliance on the friendship and good faith of the king of Prussia but that he wished for a more explicit declaration of the views which he entertained with respect to Hanover. A more explicit declaration has indeed been made! It is the last treaty made by Prussia with France, in which Prussia consents - consents - as if she admitted that it was a French object, and not a Prussian one, to take permanent possession of Hanover! Sir, the house will easily see through all the pretences for arrangements said to be convenient and necessary for the ports of the north, and which produced a declaration from Prussia, followed by shutting up those ports. An intimation was subsequently made by Prussia that British manufacture might pass through a part of the Prussian dominions. Soon afterwards this channel of communication was cut off, and then came the monstrous measure which Prussia resolved upon of taking Hanover as a present from France, of which country it was asserted that by right of conquest, France had the disposal. Is there an instance on record of a conquered province having been assigned over as a boon before the termination of the war in which the conquest was made? And still more confidently may I say it, is there an instance on record of such a transaction having taken place when the prince of the territory assigned was in amity with the prince to whom the assignment was made? Sir, to what extremity are we driven by this conduct of the court of Berlin? It would be idle in me to attempt to conceal, that the hostility of Prussia is a great augmentation of our calamities. Any increase in the number of our enemies must be an addition to our calamities, and this instance is a peculiarly severe addition. It is an aggravation, sir, of those calamities, that what we can directly do to show our just resentment of the perfidious conduct of
Prussia must in some degree affect the interest of nations in amity with us, must in some degree affect our own interests. But, sir, there are points when it becomes the duty of a country to sacrifice inferior interest to the manifestation of principle. (Hear! hear!) This is one of those points. If we allow the conduct of Prussia to pass unnoticed, we must calculate on the complete degradation of the character of the country. I am far from wishing to insinuate any of the suspicions of the honor of other continental courts; but, sir how would the question between them and us then stand, compared with the way in which it stands at present? Now when those courts are compelled to concede their possessions, one after the other, to the encroaching power of France, however we may lament their situation, we can feel against them no displeasure. We must say to them, "Save yourself as well as you can." But if we permitted the conduct of Prussia to pass unregarded, is it not probable that these Courts would no longer be content to make cessions of their own territory to France but would fall upon yours? (Hear! hear!) If so, sir, then should we be exposed to the greatest of all evils (which God avert!) a war, with the exception of one great power, with all Europe. On the other hand, sir, if the present case can be kept distinct and unimitated; if an example can be made of Prussia which in a great degree will depend on the exertions of other countries; but if a signal example can be made of Prussia, it may, perhaps do more towards restoring a balance of power, and a just system of general policy in Europe, than any alliances that have been formed, or that may be projected against France.
I trust, and am convinced, that the house will see the propriety of acting upon this principle, namely, to shew a spirit of forbearance, where, on the opposite side is shown a spirit of justice and honor, but no longer to forbear when justice and honor are no longer remembered. Let the court of Berlin take the consequence. (Hear! Hear!) Sir, it is possible that the king of Prussia may be so deluded as to imagine that he has gained a great deal by gaining possession of Hanover. French reasoning may, perhaps, assist in creating or confirming this delusion. What has he obtained? Every thing that can be wrung from Hanover is first grasped by the French, and they then permit the king of Prussia to gain a nominal possession of an useless country. In another point of view, sir, Prussia has indeed lost. I cannot but look on her as more completely conquered by France than ever Austria has been. Austria was compelled by adverse circumstances to make a peace on conditions highly unfavorable to her; but, sir, in ceding territory a eas she took care to cede only her own. (Hear! Hear!) The last instance of complete vassalage is to be the contemptible instrument of the injustice of a master. (Hear! hear! hear!) And, sir, can there be a stronger proof that the dominion which Prussia pretends to assume over Hanover is only nominal, than the mission of the French general Barbou to that country, with the evident purpose of superintending the operations of the Prussian ministers, and guiding them into the course most agreeable to France? Every body, sir, has heard of the various insults which Prussia has received from France since this her complete subjugation. France has indeed treated her with as little ceremony as she deserves. Her towns have been occupied by French troops. Her remonstrances have been unheeded. How all this will end, whether good or evil will be the result, I cannot pretend to say. But at least this country will avoid the greatest possible evil by refusing to sanction a principle so opposite to the welfare of society. (Hear! Hear!) It will avoid the evil of appearing to be indifferent to the feelings of our gracious sovereign, and to be insensible to the preservation of his rights. (Hear! hear! hear!) It will also avoid the evil, still of greater magnitude, of giving his consent and approbation to this odious mode, which has been adopted of transferring subjects from one prince to another.
Gracious God! I appeal to those who have felt the danger with which regular governments have been threatened, by the mad opinions of visionary enthusiasts; can there be any thing found in the wildest scheme of the most daring speculator so calculated to shake the stability of regular governments, as this power that has been received whether in a Republic or a Monarchy, is of no consequence, of transferring subjects without any regard whatever to the character of those by whom they are to be governed; unmindful whether they are possessed of their attachment or their detestation? Exchange field for field, exchange flock upon your field, exchange cattle for cattle; but never exchange your people. (Hear! here! here!) Some attention and respect should sure
be paid to the attachment of a government to its subjects, and love to the attachment of subjects to their government. This mutual attachment has ever, in, been considered by all reasoners on the social compact, as the fundamental corner stone of society. Truly it has been so considered. How far the fabric has been shaken by this rude violence that has been offered to it, I leave to the judgment of gentlemen who have devoted their minds to the investigation of the subject. Feeling Sir, as I do on it, I must avow I felt peculiar pleasure in sending that Note to Baron Jacobi, in which I informed him of his majesty's unalterable determination never to consent to a transfer of his faithful and affectionate Hanoverian subjects. (Hear! Hear!) I do not know that it is necessary to make any further observations; but before I sit down, I must state, that there can be no doubt, but that the shutting the ports of Prussia to the British vessels alone is most clearly and unquestionably an act of hostility against this country." Mr. Fox, then concluded by moving an address of thanks to His Majesty, which (as usual) was an echo of the message.

We learn verbally, by the schooner Traveller, from Carracoa, that Miranda's two Schooners had been captured on the Maine by a Spanish brig - and that Miranda in the Leader, had afterwards a severe engagement with a Spanish sloop of war, and beat her off; after which he stood to windward. [New York Gazette.]
It is said letters have been received in town which state, positively, that Miranda has landed on the Spanish Maine at a place called Coma, without meeting with any opposition. The ship Bee is on her way with dispatches from Miranda, and is hourly expected here. [Ibid.]
Arrived, the sloop Polly, Williams, in town, seven days from Anatto Bay, Jamaica. Left Schooner Industry, Caldwell, of New York, just arrived from N. Carolina, having, near Turkey Island, been plundered by two French privateers.

SALT. - The Public are informed, that the works on the U. S. Saline, below the mouth of the Wabash, are now conducted with so much spirit and success, that the quantity of salt now is greatly superior to the demand: several thousand bushels having been accumulated in store. The price is reduced to 5 shillings, Virginia currency per bushel. [Indiana Gazette.]

Iron factory at Carron, in Scotland, the greatest perhaps of the kind in the world. The weekly consumption of coals amount to 1,000 tons at 4 shillings per ton, and the consumption of each day is equal to that of the city of Edinburgh for a week. As many coals, therefore, are consumed in the Carron Foundry, as would suffice to supply a city of 700,000 inhabitants. One thousand workmen are daily employed in the manufactory, whose wages amount to 700l. a week, and 36,400l. per annum.
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE.
Admiralty Office, April 22, 1806. Copy of a letter from vice admiral Thornborough to the earl of St. Vincent, K. B. admiral and commander in chief of his majesty's fleet employed in the channel Soundings, &c.
PRINCE OF WALES, Off Rochefort, April 9, 1806.
My Lord, I have the honor to transmit to your lordship a copy of a letter I have this day received from captain lord Cochrane, of his majesty's ship Pallas, under my orders. It will not be necessary for me, my lord, to comment upon the intrepidity and good conduct displayed by lord Cochrane, his officers, and men, in the execution of a hazardous enterprize in the Garonne, a river the most difficult, perhaps, in its navigation of any on this coast; the complete success that attended it, as well as the destruction of the vessels of war mentioned in the said letter, on the coast of Arcasson, bespeak their merits more fully than is in my power to do; to which may be fairly added, that nothing can evince more clearly the high state of discipline of the crew of the Pallas, than the humanity shewn by them to the enemy in the conflict. I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) EDW. THORNBOROUGH. The Earl of St. Vincent, &c. His majesty's ship Pallas, off Chaféron, April 8.
HAVING received information, which proved correct of the situation of the corvettes in the river of Bordeaux, a fit time after dark on the evening of the 5th, the Pallas was anchored close to the shoal of Cordovan; and it gives me satisfaction to relate, that, about three o'clock the national corvette La Tapageuse, of 14 long 12 pounders and 95 men, which had the guard was boarded, carried and cut out, about twenty miles above the shoals, within two heavy batteries, in spite of all resistance by the first lieutenant, Mr. Haswell; Mr. Sutherland, the master; Messrs. Perkins Crawford, and Thompson; together with the quarter master, and such of the seamen, the serjeant, and marines, as were fortunate enough to find a place in the boat. The tide of flood then strong at day light; La Tapageuse made sail; a general alarm was given; a sloop of war followed, and an action continued, often within hail, till by the same bravery by which the Tapageuse was carried, the sloop of war, which had been before saved by the rapidity of the current alone, after about an hour's firing, was compelled to sheer off having suffered as much in the hull as the Tapageuse in the rigging. The conduct of officers and men will be justly appreciated. Which confidence I shall now beg leave to recommend them to the notice of the lords commissioners of the admiralty.
It is necessary to add, that the same morning, when at anchor waiting for the boats (which, by the bye, did not return till this morning) three ships were observed bearing down upon the Pallas making signals; they were soon perceived to be enemies. In a few minutes the anchor was weighed; and with the remainder of the officers and crew, we chased, drove on shore, and wrecked, one national 24 gun ship, one of 22 guns, and La Malicieuse, a beautiful corvette of 18 guns; their masts went by the board, and they were involved in a sheet of spray. All in this ship shewed great zeal for his majesty's service. The warrant officers, and Mr. Tattual, midshipman, supplied the place of those commissioned. The absence of lieutenant Mappleton is to be regretted; he would have gloried in the expedition of the boats. The assistance rendered by Mr. Drummond, of the Royal Marines, was such as might be expected. Subjoined is a list of the wounded, together with the vessels captured and destroyed since the 26th ult.
I am, Sir, &c. (Signed) COCHRANE. Admiral Thornborough. Killed—None. Wounded—Michael Molley, both arms shot off; H. Crookman, in the arm; John McDonald, in the back.

From the N. York Daily Advertiser.
[The following "portrait" of the Prussian minister, count Haugwitz, is from the Crisis, a new and interesting journal published in London. We do not, however vouch for its correctness. The recent transactions in the north of Germany, must have considerably inflamed the public mind in Great Britain, and to this added to the view of gratifying the ministry, we may ascribe no small portion of the animosity which pervades this sketch. That the Prussian monarch and his minister employed much finesse in the late negotiations with France is apparent, but that they were actuated by the selfish views attributed to them by the author, does not appear. We however, recommend it to the attentive perusal of our readers.]
Character of count Haugwitz.—In the declaration of our court to that of Berlin, on the subject of Hanover, it is mentioned that it was the general belief of all Europe, that count Haugwitz, in his mission to Paris in the month of December, would demand the ultimatum of Bonaparte and declare the resolution of the king of Prussia to join the confederates. Was this the event? No, but one exactly the contrary. A treaty of alliance was concluded between France and Prussia, and Hanover has been seized in consequence.
It was at this period, during the general expectation of this mission, that the editors of this paper, from the knowledge of the peculiar character of count Haugwitz, came forward through another medium to undeceive the public, and exposed themselves to the general clamor of the shallow politicians of the day, and the indignation of the then existing ministry. In justice to ourselves we now give it, and request our readers to compare it with the event.
Prospect of an honorable peace from Prussian mediation.
We have already considered the relations of Prussia and Austria, as they bore upon the main question, that of the probability of Prussia taking part in the war. In contradiction to the general hope, and our most sincere wishes, we were forced to the direct conclusion that every interest of Prussia, great and small, was in immediate opposition to her union with the confederates.
It is not, therefore, to be expected that Prussia will take any part in the war. The demands of count Haugwitz will not be enforced by this alternative.
Is nothing, then, to be expected from this mission of count Haugwitz? Yes, much. But the fruits will be very different from what the flatteries of your party have led you to expect.
The secrets of states are not unfrequently less profound than a shallow mind is disposed to imagine. In every great question there are always some coarse lines, some prominent traits, which cannot be concealed, and if examined with care, and without prejudice, they may lead us to no imperfect conclusion of what is reserved. Let us consider such of these as are prominent in this mission of count Haugwitz.
In the first place, what is the character of this new envoy? Is he one who, gifted with a noble mind, and formed by nature and education to enlarged views, has ever taken the general interest of Europe as his end; and though the aggrandisement of his country, still considered that the ultimate interest of Prussia was connected with that of Europe? Is he one who, educated in a generous court, and under a monarch like Henry the fourth of France, has learned to consider his country as a member of the commonwealth of states, and that in this relative capacity she had a common as well as a peculiar interest? In a word, is count Haugwitz one of these rare and truly great men, who raised by superior wisdom above all the little interests, the particular aims of states and parties, sees clearly, and pursues directly, the real good of his country; his means an enlarged and generous wisdom, with a high disdain of that cunning and intrigue, which in public, as in private life, seeks its own individual interest at whatever general cost.
If there be any one thing more contrary than another to this character, it is count Haugwitz. Educated in a court of in-
trigue, he is neither more nor less than the narrow, crafty politician of the day. Nothing bold or generous could ever find admittance into his mind; a master of his intrigue, he considers that alone as his proper sphere; he averts from war as from the worst of evils: He would meet you for ever in his closet; and by an uninterrupted system of intrigue, an unvaried dissimulation, endeavor to over-reach you. He will sell his neutrality at as high a price as if his very vital interest required him to enter upon hostility; he will perhaps sell his alliance, but he will be careful to counteract his own bargain.
From the commencement of the war of the revolution, he has been the steady advocate of peace, and the head of the French party at Berlin. His system of policy is known to be that of raising the Prussian monarchy on the ruins of that of Austria.
The very basis of this system is alliance with France.
As such the mediator from whom Europe is to hope a general satisfactory peace? Is this the negotiator, who, sacrificing an immediate, and at least apparent present advantage (the most irresistible call to short-sighted politicians) is to consult for the general good, and forget the particular interest of his own state in the greater object of the preservation of the system? No; count Haugwitz is not one of these men. Expect any thing from him but a diplomatic inanity, and over-reaching cunning, a total disregard of any common interest, if opposed by the most slight peculiar advantage, and you will find yourselves disappointed.
Count Haugwitz is the creature of circumstances, the minister of the day. He may conclude a peace for Prussia; he will not conclude one for Europe. He acknowledges no interest in Europe but Prussia. England has no place in his political map. He cares as little about Malta as Egypt.
For a Margraviate in Germany he would guarantee Bonaparte in the possession of both.
It is indeed surprising how any thing generous can be expected of a court thus proverbially selfish. Those who know Count Haugwitz will not indulge such hopes.
What then is the object of this mission? Simply the interest; the exclusive, particular interest of Prussia. Should count Haugwitz find Bonaparte in a situation of difficulty; should he find him under circumstances, in which the conduct of Prussia is of importance to him, in this case count Haugwitz, as we have said before, is the creature of circumstances; he will assume perhaps a determined tone, and after much haggling, sell the neutrality of Prussia at as high a price as possible. On the other hand, should he find him a conqueror; should he meet him on the road to Vienna. Count Haugwitz is not the man who will risk his indignation by standing in the way. Even this latter situation will occasion but little difference in the proceeding of Count Haugwitz; he will still make a bargain; the only difference will be, that he will be compelled to take a lower price. But at any rate, he will make a bargain, and not neglect circumstances, the whole compass of the wisdom of such politicians.
In a word, the object of count Haugwitz is one of the darling principles of Prussian politics; to follow and avail himself of circumstances, a system of intrigue, by which, without the cost and risk of war, Prussia has erected and confirmed her monarchy. Intrigue in states is cunning in private life, as policy answers to wisdom. Prussia has no policy; her system is all intrigue; her arms are all self; her means little; her alliance would be worth little; her mediations worth nothing.
The inference of what is above said is, that nothing can be expected from this so vaunted mediation.
In no possible situation can it be considered as a subject of congratulation. Count Haugwitz, as we have before said, will find Bonaparte either as a conqueror, or in a situation of straight. In the first case he will most assuredly do nothing. In the latter the count will not be himself unless he pursues the immediate interest of Prussia, that of interposing to save Bonaparte, and snatching that victory from Russia and Austria, the effect of which would fall upon her own head. The mediation of Prussia would in this point of view only save Bonaparte.
ADDRESS TO FRUGALITY.
BY THE CELEBRATED ROBERT BURNS. O Frugality! thou mother of ten thousand blessings! thou cook of fat beef and dainty greens! thou manufacturer of warm Shetland hose and comfortable fartouts! thou old house-
wife, darning thy decayed stockings with thy ancient spectacles on thy aged nose! lead me, hand me in thy clutching-pasled fist, up those heights and through those thickets, hitherto inaccessible, and impervious to my anxious wear, feet: not those Parnassian crags, bleak and barren, where the hungry worshippers of Fame are breathless, clambering, hanging, between heaven and earth; but those glittering cliffs of Potosi, where the glittering cliffs of the all-sufficient, all-powerful deity wealth, holds his immediate court of joys and pleasures; where the funny exposure of plenty and the hot walls of profusion, produce those blissful fruits of luxury, exotic in this world, and natives of paradise!—Thou withered sybil, my aged conductress, usher me into the grotto of adored presence! The power splendid and potent as he now is, was once the palimg on-ling of thy faithful care and tender arms! Call me thy son, thy cousin, thy kinsman or stranger and acquire the good by scenes of his infant years, no longer to repulse me as a stranger or an alien, but to favor me with his peculiar countenance and protection! he daily bestows his greatest kindness on the undeferving and the worthless, assure him that I bring ample documents of meritorious demerits! pledge yourself to me, that for the glorious cause of Lucre, I will do any thing, be any thing—but the honest leach of private opposition, or the vulture of public robbery.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
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 taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General 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 medicine 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 complicated 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 complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at certain period of life—bad lying-in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous Disorders,  Consumptions,  Losses of spirits,  Impurity of the blood,  Hysterical affections,  Inward weaknesses,  Scintial weaknesses,  Fluoribus (or whites)  Barrenness,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Indigestion,  Melancholy,  Gout in the stomach,  Pains in the limbs,  Relaxations,  Involuntary emissions,  Obstinate gleet,  Impotency, &c. &c. 
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, 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 preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, 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 letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c. W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, be Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh 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 medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases or 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 dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this it-
contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and so mild on 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 foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints; and the least 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 Tereos or large round worm, the Ascarides, 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 many yards long, and is full of joints: It is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions 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 fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
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 necessary 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 Harford 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 conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted 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 about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession 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 their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
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 accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless 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 appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, to often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine 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, JOHN MOLTHER.
