ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN AWAY on the evening of the 7th inst. a Bright Mulatto Man named BOB, Who calls himself ROBERT THOMAS; About 5 feet 10 inches high, 24 or 25 years of age, has large black eye brows, large full eyes, not very dark, and is a stout well made handsome fellow. His hair is thick, but not quite straight, and he wears it nicely trimmed, combed and ridged on the top. His beard ap- pears very black if suffered to grow for a day or two, but he usually shaves it very closely. He has recently received an injury on the fore finger of the left hand, and has it bound up, and may probably lose the first joint of it. He speaks deliberately, and is more correct in conversation than persons of his color usually are. He walks slowly, is a very good waiter, & delights particularly in attending to horses. He has a variety of cloaths, and took with him one dark green broadcloth coat and pan- taloons with yellow buttons, one cloth coat and pantaloons nearly of the same color, but the cloth of inferior quality, with white metal buttons, one blue cloth coat much worn, one old brown surtout coat with covered buttons, a good hat, and a pair of black top boots. The rest of his apparel I am not able particularly to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and pays great attention to his dress. As he can read and write very well, he may probably produce a forged authority for him to pass, or procure the certificate of some one of the negroes, who, a few years ago, petition- ed by the name of Thomas and obtained their freedom in Maryland. If taken out of the state of Maryland and district of Columbia, and secured in any jail so that I get him again, the above reward will be given, or six- ty dollars if taken and secured within the said state or district; all reasonable expenses will also be paid if he should be delivered to me in the city of Washington, or to Dr. Richard Duckett, in Prince George's county, Maryland. He is well acquainted in Annapolis, Baltimore, Geo. Town, and the city of Washington. Allen B. Duckett. Washington City, May 13—14. dif.

The frequency and length of the parliamentary debates have prevented our giving that attention to the state of Europe, as exhibited in the late foreign intelligence, which we desired; and we must now compress, in a narrow space, the remarks which a contemplation of that state suggests. There is one observation which strikes the mind very forcibly, and that is, the flat contradiction which almost every power of Europe affords to the vaunted assertion of Bonaparte, that by the treaty of Tilsit the continental peace was restored—and that there would henceforth be nothing to impede him in the sole task remaining, viz. "to compel the enemy to a maritime peace." To the attainment of this end, he has indeed done all that can be done; he has commanded all those powers whom he has either vanquished or terrified, to adopt the barbarous measures he himself has pursued; he has compelled them all to submit to the same privations; he has inflicted upon all the same sufferings, and there now reigns on the whole continent that equality of distress (of course, with the slight varieties which local circumstances occasion) which an equal subjection to the same tyranny supposes. The blessings of foreign commerce are denied to all—all are forced in shew to adopt his enemies, and decline all intercourse with the only people who know the enjoyment of independence and liberty, however embittered those enjoyments may be by evils from which, at a crisis like the present, no body of men can be free. It is not, however, our purpose to enlarge on this topic, but rather to observe how methodically and unremittingly the conqueror is pursuing during the continental peace, the same measures of continental conquest, which the several armistices and mis-called treaties of peace have modified and never interrupted or avoided. Bonaparte may employ, though in a perverted sense, the words of our great poet, "Peace hath her victories no less renowned than War."
The most decisive and easiest of those renowned victories has been the conquest of Portugal. The conqueror no longer finds it expedient to make a nominal donation of his kingdoms. That country has been taken possession of in his name; and he has exercised already, in a most frightful manner, the rights of sovereignty. His first acts have been the seizure of all the rich plate and moveables of the church (which we believe, some of our Protestant readers will hardly regret) and a levy of thirty per cent. on the income of all his faithful and dear subjects; and this, we suppose, every one can appreciate. In seizing this helpless country, his governor, Junot, exclaims, with an audacity worthy his master, that he came to save Lisbon from the fate of Copenhagen, not once dreaming of the abdication of the prince regent, though before Junot entered Portugal the Moniteur announced, from authority, the deposition of the house of Braganza! And this is the acquisition which some of the soi-disant friends of liberty contemplate without the slightest expression of disapprobation or regret. This is the evening-star of that "liberty" whose "day-star" arose "o'er the vine-covered hills and gay regions of France."
In Spain, Bonaparte has not yet nominated a new governor or viceroy; yet it is surely an unjustifiable presumption, that this land is doomed also to fall more immediately under his dominion; ten thousand men are at Barcelona, all the seaports and fortresses are to be occupied by French troops, and, if the last accounts be not incorrect, one fortress (Pampeluna) has been forcibly seized by them. Such is the peace enjoyed by Spain! Such are the rewards of early submission, and constant, unceasing, unrepining obedience to France!
In Italy, also, the troops of Bonaparte are in motion. We do not refer to the projected attack upon Sicily, or the siege of Scylla (for this is the consequence of our continued hostility—an appendage only to the maritime war) but the dominions of the Pope have been recently occupied by the soldiers of France; and not long since the kingdom of Etruria was resumed by the donor. We have no objection to this latter resumption; nor do we grieve to the same extent that the Irish Catholics may be supposed to do, that the bishop of Rome should be deprived of temporal dominion; but these aggressions are still aggressions on the part of the powerful ally of Tuscany, and the faithful son of the church, the Catholic Bonaparte! It is thus he exercises his rights in Italy, and maintains the continental peace of the south!
Of France herself it is altogether superfluous to speak; something may be inferred concerning the character of her ruler, from the abolition of the last forms of freedom, and the shadow of popular representation in the constitution of that country; but his conduct towards foreign powers furnishes more direct proofs of his usurpations and tyranny. Switzerland has, happily for herself, afforded scarcely any incident to be recorded. We know only one fact, that even now the complement of troops which is the tribute Bonaparte requires, has not yet been completed. In the small democratic cantons the members are still deficient; and the brave mountaineers have not belied their ancient fame. Yet the central government remonstrates, and the French minister threatens.
The richer and larger cantons have offered to supply the troops for their less obedient brethren; but this has been rejected at Paris. Not only must the gross amount be that which has been prescribed, but the partition of it also among the different states, must conform with the imperial decrees.
From Holland, France has wrenched still more of her frontier places; and French custom house officers are stationed in the Dutch towns, to secure the execution of those laws which serve only to reduce her inhabitants to poverty and wretchedness.
Germany, the scene of so much of Bonaparte's glory, is also the theatre of his oppressions. The vassal states of the Rhine are forced to call out their troops, which they are about to send into Dalmatia to fight battles, they know too well for whom, but certainly not for what. At the same time he demolishes the few fortresses in the north, and does not suffer a strongly walled city to remain in the hands even of his youngest brother Hieronymus. In Prussia his soldiers still remain, in utter defiance of the express stipulations of the treaty of Tilsit; and he is even throwing provisions into the remote city of Custrin. So mighty is his authority with the two sovereigns who share with him the title of emperor, that he has succeeded in compelling both to measures most opposite to their essential interests. The emperor of Austria has been obliged to renounce all connection with his natural ally and constant friend, Great Britain; and at the command of France, has collected her troops on the frontiers of Turkey, to join in the division of it, to perform the service Bonaparte prescribes, and take the reward he pleases to give. Whatever benefits to civilization may arise from the expulsion of the Turks from Europe, Austria must politically suffer by the change. She will hereafter be surrounded by active foes, whereas hitherto she has been protected by the weakness of the Ottoman empire. Yet Austria cannot resist; Napoleon can avail himself of Bavarian jealousy, and hasten to attack Austria on her German frontier; he has his emissaries in the diet of Hungary, who have already had too marked an influence among the jealous magnates of that kingdom; and he can, any hour, revive the city of liberty in Galicia. Such is his influence over Austria.
The emperor Alexander has shown that he may, in like manner, be seduced to measures that lead to direct suicide. His projects against Turkey may have a shew of policy to support them; but hardly his declaration of war against Great Britain, certainly not his attack on Sweden.
This is the master-stroke of Bonaparte's policy. He would not be anxious to conquer Sweden speedily, if he could; the heroic resistance which that people will assuredly make against the Russian invaders will be victories for Napoleon. In the mean while he will dexterously profit by the calamitous and lamentable war between Great Britain and Denmark, to station his auxiliaries in her capital, and, if he can convey his troops there, also in Norway. Under the pretence of the Swedish war, his troops will remain in Mecklenburgh, and the north; he will be ready, when Russia is enfeebled by the Turkish and Swedish wars, to break with her in an instant; and the great plan of restoring the ancient kingdom of Sarmatia will be revived at its conventional time.
Such are the projects which the continental peace has opened to the master of Europe. Such is the actual state of the continent after seven months of such a peace. In every frontier of Europe we see armies collecting; in the interior we witness the suffering of war. If such be the continental peace, what would the maritime peace? We are persuaded, it would serve only to extend the same blessings, and enlarge the sphere of the same dominion. Now, he has at his feet the continent of Europe; then, he would command the co-
lonies of the European powers. He would from every port send out his fleets, and pour his French, Italian, German, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese troops into St. Domingo, and the other possessions of both Indies. His mercantile fleets would cover every ocean; and at a signal, the sailors who manned these fleets would fill his ships of the line. The maritime war would be renewed, or rather, for the first time, seriously begun.
We lament, most feelingly lament, that there still exist among us a few so infatuated and blind, that they do not and will not see this; they will learn nothing from experience; they cannot yet believe in the reality of Bonaparte's hatred or ambition. They really think it possible that he can be content with his acquisitions.
The revenues of France at present amount to between 30 and 40 millions sterling, and the subjects pay, in the aggregate, about 33 per cent. The taxes are chiefly levied on windows, individuals, door ways, sign boards, furniture, and working patents, without which no one is permitted to manufacture in any way; the custom house duties, which used to contribute greatly to the national supplies, are now greatly deficient of their accustomed produce. The annual consumption of food in Paris is stated at 258,640,000 francs, or about 10,776,000 pounds, and one sixth part of the population of that capital are classed as paupers.
FROM THE NORFOLK LEDGER.
To the HON. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, SIR,
I persuade myself from the measure which I have adopted, that this short address may reach you, and that it will not be deemed unworthy of your notice. The extraordinary zeal which your letter to Mr. Otis, and which you avow was designed for publication, displays in support of neutral rights, was not a little surprising to those who had noticed your conduct in the negotiation between this country and Prussia.
I think, sir, you were minister resident in Holland, when your father, then being president of the U. S. appointed you minister plenipotentiary to the court of Prussia, the object of which was the renewal of the treaty concluded in 1785, between this country and that, and which had expired. You accordingly did in concert with the Russian minister negotiate and conclude the treaty which now exists.
It is not necessary to examine and compare the articles of the two treaties, the first appears to have the basis of the last, except in the instances I am now to notice.
The principle "that free ships should make free goods" is a favorite principle with the zealous advocates of neutral rights, accordingly in the first treaty we find the following stipulation:
"Art. 12. If one of the contracting parties should be engaged in war with any other power, the free intercourse and commerce of the subjects or citizens of the party remaining neutral with the belligerent powers, shall not be interrupted. On the contrary, in that case as in full peace, the vessels of the neutral party may navigate freely to and from the ports and the coasts of the belligerent parties, free vessels making free goods, inasmuch, that all things shall be adjudged free which shall be on board any vessel belonging to the neutral party, although such things belong to an enemy of the other, and the same freedom shall be extended to persons who shall be on board a free vessel, altho' they should be enemies to the other party, unless they should be soldiers in actual service of such enemy."
Let us now sir, examine the article which was substituted by you in place of that which is quoted, and to which it was intended to correspond, it is as follows:
"Art. 12. Experience having proved, that the principle adopted in the twelfth article of the treaty of 1785, according to which, free ships make free goods, has not been sufficiently respected during the two last wars, and especially in that which still continues, the two contracting parties propose, after the return of a general peace, to agree either separately between themselves, or jointly with other powers alike interested, to concert with the great maritime powers of Europe, such arrangements and such permanent principles, as may serve to consolidate the liberty and the safety of the neutral navigation and commerce in future wars. And if in the interval, either of the contracting parties should be engaged in a war, to which the other should remain neutral, the ships of war and privateers of the belligerent power
shall conduct themselves towards the merchant vessels of the neutral power, as favorably as the course of the war then existing may permit, observing the principles and rules of the law of nations, generally acknowledged."
To mitigate the evils of war, has been the object of America in all her treaties, in which spirit, the first treaty has a remarkable provision, and is found in the latter articles of the 23d article, containing provisions in case of war. "All merchant and trading vessels employed in exchanging the products of different places, and thereby rendering the necessaries, conveniences, and comforts of human life more easy to be obtained, and more general, shall be allowed to pass free and unmolested; and neither of the contracting parties shall grant or issue any commission to any private armed vessel, empowering them to take or destroy such trading vessels, or interrupt such commerce." Your treaty in article 23, is word for word with the first treaty, until it comes to words quoted, when it stops.
It is difficult to conjecture any good reason for the omission of such important & philanthropic provisions. The papers, whose columns are now loaded with panegyric on your patriotism, did endeavor to account for the omission of these provisions. The Paris journals and their agents in this country, did not hesitate to denounce you as the tool of the British ministers at the Hague and at Berlin. It was boldly asserted that the British minister at Berlin, would have been highly offended by provisions in a treaty, to which his government was so decidedly opposed. For my part, sir, I do not impute to you any such unworthy motives, but as it was generally understood that the Prussian negotiator wished the provisions which were omitted to be inserted, and that the opposition came from you, it would be gratifying to many to know what were the reasons that produced your opposition, and particularly to
A FEDERAL REPUBLICAN.
LONDON, March 28.
The Susan, an American ship has arrived at Plymouth—she was taken in lat. 42, long. 38, on the 10th, by the Seine and Italienne French frigates, which had taken the Sappho privateer; the Sarah letter of marque; and the Windham, an American, and were returning to France. The Sarah and Windham they burnt, and were about to burn the Sappho, she being a dull sailer. They had determined to destroy all American vessels they fell in with, that had been previously boarded by the English. They are two of the four frigates which escaped from St. Maloes about 3 months ago, and went to Martinique with troops. We hope some of our citizens will fall in with them before they reach a French port. The Susan was made a cartel.
A boat with 21 men on board, got into Dover yesterday from Flushing, from whence they made their escape on Saturday; the boat fired on them as they put to sea, but without doing them any injury. They state that there are eight sail of the line nearly ready for sea, and that two frigates lately sailed from Flushing. Perhaps these were the two frigates that were seen on Thursday off Flambro' head.
Some dispatches from gen. Armstrong at Paris, were yesterday received by Mr. Pinkney: they were brought by a Mr. Patterson, who came through Holland; they do not announce the arrival in France of Mr. Nourse; nor do they, as it is said here, in any respect relate to the subject of the embargo. By a passenger in the last packet we are informed, that the laying on of the embargo took place in consequence of the British orders in council, which certainly found their way out in the Auguste, which carried Mr. Monroe, and were by that gentleman transmitted, without delay, to the president; who in concert with a few of his friends to the senate, advised the adoption of the measure. It was not in consequence of any private mercantile advices.
March 30.
A few days since a general sweep was made of all fishing boats which had put to sea from the French ports up channel, and we understand a general order has been issued by government for the capture of this kind of craft whenever they may be met with.
The following important notice was yesterday posted up at Lloyd's:
"By letters from Holland dated the 12th of March, it appears that French privateers cruising on that coast, pay no respect to licences granted by the Dutch government for importing goods from England."
Five hundred gun boats have already been built in the Dutch ports, at the requisition of the French government, and are

not activity prevails in getting them for sea. Mr. Nourse, who is the bearer of dis- patches from America, may be hourly ex- pected. The Osage , on board of which the messenger for Paris embarked, and the messenger for Paris embarked, spoken off L'Orient, by a vessel arriv- ing from Guernsey. The following is an extract of a letter from Guernsey: Guernsey, March 29.
The American government has sent orders to treat with France and Eng- land. The Phoenix privateer, of this place, is now going into L'Orient, and papers from Philadelphia, which circumstance.
The Juno , captain Rutherford, from Bermuda, detained and sent into Plymouth, and boarded by two French corvettes, and seized by the officer, that twelve cor- vettes had sailed from Bordeaux in company, and intended to cruise off the western
The Orion Salcette, and Dolphin have stores and provisions on board sufficient for a foreign station, from which it is in- ferred that these ships are for a special service.
Sir Samuel Hood sailed from the Downs for the Baltic yesterday in the Centaur — the other ships going upon the same desti- nation only wait for pilots. The force in the Downs is increasing daily; two more ships and a 54 arrived there on Thursday. The Triumph and Imperieuse passed Ports- mouth yesterday; they are all destined for the Baltic.
We have received further particulars of negotiation between France and Den- mark, respecting the equipment of a fleet of French vessels to be manned by Danish seamen. Bonaparte made the first over- tures and proposed, that the required num- ber of Danish mariners of every rank, from the admiral to the cabin boy, for 20 ships of the line, should repair to the seve- ral ports of France, and navigate them themselves; but they were still to remain in the service of France. This, however, was refused, even by the government of Denmark—the Danish officers and men re- fused to fight under any other than the Danish flag. Measures were then taken to render the project a little less repugnant as respecting the national feelings of the Danes. It was proposed the vessels should be sold to Denmark, and that they should proceed from the ports of France to Co- penhagen. Under such circumstances it is highly probable that the treaty will be fi- nally completed, and that means will be found to gratify the resentment which the Danes feel against this country, without sacrificing their notions of national inde- pendence and honor.
The Moniteur of March 23d contains the intelligence of the March of the Russian troops into Finland, and the arrest of the Russian minister at Stockholm, with the seal- ing of his papers, &c. It adds the following remarks:—“Such an outrage on the rights of nations, which is known only to barbarians, has roused the indignation of the whole world. Of what does the king of Sweden com- plain? That Russia has declared war against him! More than six months are passed since Russia intimated to him that all the principles of neutrality had been broken, and that his alliance with Britain could not be suffered, and that he must necessarily follow.”
On the other side a French army is en- tering Poland, and all preparations are mak- ing to send these allies of Britain to America, where they may reign there. The king of Bri- tain doubtless congratulate himself again in parliament as he did before, on the new alliance which he grants to his ally; it is pre- sumed also that Britain is to give St. Tho- mas to the king of Sweden as an indemnifica- tion. Thus the brave Swedish nation, after having seen their commerce annihilated, is to be divided into pieces by a war in their interior. How unsearchable a calamity it is for a nation to have a king who is governed by levity and folly!”
The Moniteur also contains a letter dated March 14, which says, While the Russian army on the one side has been already seiz- ing a large part of the northern states of the king of Sweden, on the other side French, Spanish, Dutch and Danish troops are assem- bling, in order to bring to a speedy termina- tion the war which has been rendered neces- sary by the obstinacy of the Swedish monarch. Within a few days every thing has been in motion around us. Today the last Spanish
regiment has entered on the Danish territory, and the 6th regiment of Dutch infantry, which have entered here, is to be followed by three other regiments.—Gen. Gration has entered with them, and it is most probable that the whole, or the greater part of these forces are to continue their journey into Denmark.”
The Seine and Italienne French frigates, which carried troops to Martinique, have got into L'Orient.
April 4.
Several transports came into the Downs yesterday and some horse ships have been or- dered to sail from the river as quick as possi- ble. From the number of flat bottomed boats that are landing at Deal, not less than 200, it is supposed that another expedition is prepar- ing; other boats are nearly completed, which are to carry carronades.
The Centaur , sir S. Hood, was forced to put back into the Downs on Saturday, but has a- gain sailed yesterday morning with the Orion . The rear of the fleet would, it was believed follow this morning. They were busily em- ployed all yesterday and the night before, in landing the flat bottomed boats they had bro't from Plymouth and Portsmouth.

WINCHESTER, May 10.
Distressing Circumstance.
A most melancholy occurrence took place on Thursday last—Miss Catherine Kurtz, daughter of Mr. Frederick Kurtz of this bor- ough, being on her way, in Mr. Bawcutt's stage, from this place to Newmarket was un- fortunately drowned in attempting to cross the north branch of the Shenandoah river. The circumstances attending this distressing affair, we understand are as follows. When the stage came to the river it was found that the rain had raised the waters considerably, not, however, so much as to render it hazard- ous to cross, several gentlemen having rode across before. There were in the stage, Miss Kurtz, a Miss Henckel of Newmarket, and a gentleman. As soon as the stage en- tered the river, the water running somewhat rapid, the young ladies were very much alarmed and the horses stopping, they insisted upon being taken out of the stage, notwith- standing Mr. Bawcutt's assurances that there was no danger. A gentleman on horse back rode in and took Miss Henckel out, and con- veyed her safe to shore, another gentleman rode in for Miss Kurtz who got on the horse, but immediately slipped off into the water, and drew the gentlemen after her, the horse fell too upon them, and the gentleman with much difficulty extricated himself, but the young lady sunk, alas! to rise no more to life. Every practicable exertion was used to save her, but without effect; the rapidity of the current rendered it impossible to secure the body, which was seen floating down for some distance. The body was not found on Sun- day.
Thus was an amiable young lady, in the bloom of youth, snatched in a moment, from the endearing affections of her respected pa- rents, with whom we sincerely condole. In the premature death of this young lady, her relations and friends have sustained a loss, which nothing but the consolations of a holy religion can supply, and we have no reason to doubt that her immortal spirit is in the full fruition of endless felicity.

MR. SNOWDEN, I Send you for publication one of the two original petitions, with the original signatures, whereupon the Turnpike Road Law, lately granted us by Congress, has been founded. The other petition, lite- rally copied therefrom, and subscribed by a very considerable number of respectable citizens, may be seen upon application at the office of the clerk of the Senate of the United States.
A SUBSCRIBER.
Alex. May 17, 1808.
N. B. The original petition, signatures, &c. may be seen on application to the Editor.
To the honorable senate and house of repre- sentatives of the United States of Ameri- ca, in congress assembled: The petition of sundry inhabitants of the town and county of Alexandria, in the district of Columbia, respectfully sheweth—
THAT your petitioners are deeply im- pressed with the opinion, that a turnpike road, on a liberal plan, between the town of Alexandria and the city of Washington, would be highly advantageous and conve- nient to the inhabitants of the district and the public in general.
Your petitioners further state, that the propietors of the ground through which such road will pass, have consented to cede to the public a space of ground, one hun- dred feet wide, for a road, commencing at Bridge Point, on Alexander's island, and terminating at the northern extremity of Washington street, in the town of Alexan- dria; in consequence of which session, a number of individuals have subscribed and paid certain sums of money, with which a very considerable portion of the road has been already opened.
Your petitioners therefore pray your ho- nors, by an act for that purpose, to incor- porate those subscribers, with any others who may incline to become stockholders, into a company to be denominated “The Washington and Alexandria Turnpike Com- pany,” for the purpose of improving, in the turnpike manner, the ground, so ceded for a road, in the direction prescribed by the proprietors thereof, from Bridgeport, on Alexander's island, opposite Mary- land avenue, to the north eastern corner of the alms house lot, and from thence, by a straight line, to the intersection of Wash- ington and Montgomery streets, in the town of Alexandria, with the necessary powers, under such restrictions as your honors may deem it expedient to prescribe, for effecting the same, and for erecting a bridge over Four Mile creek, and to grant to the company such tolls, for the use of the road and bridge, payable at the bridge, as your honors shall deem reasonable and proper, the money advanced by each sub- scriber to be so much of the purchase mo- ney of his stock in the company.
And your petitioners shall ever pray, &c.
THE OCCOQUAN BRIDGE it is expected will be finished in a fortnight from this time, a suitable character is wanting to collect the tolls at said Bridge. An aged man of steady ha- bits, without a family, who can bring good vouchers for his integrity, and sobriety, will meet with encourage- ment: the colour of the person will be no objection.

Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-general of the State of Maryland. I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used by my family for two or three years past, with form 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.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching 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, weakness of speech, &c. In long confirmed rheumatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
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 strictly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which ends 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 addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewrick, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges, which expelled several worms, the doubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-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 six and six years past much indisposed, and terribly often tormented with severe griping pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other various symptoms of worms; but frequently using your Worm Lozenges recommended 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 bits and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape-worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost 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 as it did in the other: a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.

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 Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always 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 perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service; and
will gradually destroy all tendency to dis in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence 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. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently 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. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.

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 affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly 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 apply 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 complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.

PRINTED DAILY BY  SAMUEL SNOWDEN, (For the Proprietor.)
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'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 giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, 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 business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
