CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, March 7.
BRITISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE
In committee of the whole on the state of the union—Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair—on the resolution offered by Mr. Gregg.
(Mr. Findley's speech concluded.)
Both the supporters and opposers of the resolution agree, that an accommodation by negotiation is solely their object. This he said, was undoubtedly his object, and he would support the resolution on the table, subject to whatever modification the majority of the committee may think proper to give it, solely with a view to further a favorable negotiation. But will any member say that the president has not already exerted all the powers vested in him, and all the talents of which he is possessed, to accomplish an amicable negotiation? They will not. They will not say that every president of the United States has not done every thing in their power by negotiation, to prevent the impressment of our citizens, since the impressment commenced in 1793; the first time indeed in the history of nations that a power of one independent nation over the citizens of another independent nation was assumed.
The president in his first message to this congress officially brought this subject before them. In a subsequent message he informed them of the instructions he had given, of the exertions that had been made, and, in short, that negotiation was exhausted. Why then should we refuse such legislative aid, as in the present state of the business is absolutely necessary to render negotiation successful? Can we expect success without some efficient expression of the national will? Former presidents did not expect it so from any nation.
Mr. F. said, the gentlemen who have risen in opposition to the resolution, have taken no notice of the impressment of our citizens, though it is by far the most aggravated grievance. They seem to give to Great Britain a prescriptive right of that essential portion of our independence. Happily, however, the exercise of that most tyrannical power has been perseveringly protested against by every administration since that unprecedented tyranny began to be exercised. Indeed the first instance of acquiescence which has been manifested is by the members who have spoken in opposition to this resolution.
The gentleman from Virginia yesterday, the second time he has been up on the question, acknowledged the omission, but seemed to make an offset of the conduct of Spain in the Mississippi territory last summer to balance the impressment. It appears that two men fled from justice from the settlements possessed by Spain, and were pursued and taken in our territory, but afterwards rescued from the officer of Spain. This might be balanced by the outrage committed by the British at Detroit; but without dwelling on this insult, it is sufficient to observe, that the two men are free from bondage, and that there has not been time to remonstrate and negotiate with Spain since the outrage happened, and that a court of justice is competent to decide on it. If Britain had impressed but two men, if she had impressed but two hundred, and had disavowed the intention of doing so any more, if the court at London had not advocated and avowed persisting in the unprecedented outrage on the laws and usages of nations, if that government had not vindicated the conduct and refused to sign a convention on that subject (once agreed to) without an inadmissible exception, it may be presumed the case would not have been brought before the legislature.
The observations of this gentleman, however, so often bring our relations with Spain into view, without explanations, that though they have no connection with the subject before us, he would shortly add, that in the purchase of Louisiana from France, which the gentleman from Virginia himself has in strong terms acknowledged was a good bargain, that even the channel of the river was worth the money, &c. yet in the various transfers between France and Spain, and the final transfer to the United States, the boundary lines had never been settled.
By a bill reported to the last congress, it is believed by the gentleman from Virginia himself, which passed into a law, it
was made the president's duty to take possession of the Mobile district. He did so, and Spain objected to the boundary, and the affair became a subject of negotiation, as well as the unsettled western boundary. As soon as this became a subject of negotiation the president proceeded no further, but left the unsettled boundary in the state it was, until the boundary would be amicably settled. This, sir, is the way I understand the case to stand, and if I understand it truly, the president has conducted with great correctness agreeable to the law of nations; of the truth of this 'tis not necessary to quote authority; one example for illustration is sufficient; the western boundary between the United States and the British territory had been clearly defined in the definitive treaty with Britain, yet the western forts, within our acknowledged boundary, were forcibly withheld from us by British troops; but while the negotiation conducted by Mr. Jay was in progress at the court of London, the president Washington, not only withheld the federal troops then engaged in war with the Indians, from advancing, but forbade Gen. Irvine from going with a party of Pennsylvania militia to lay out a town on the margin of lake Erie, in Pennsylvania, where it was not known that ever the British had advanced a claim since the revolution, or taken possession; but neither had we actually occupied it before; but it was within the acknowledged boundary of that state. Retaining possession until the boundary is settled is no aggression on the part of Spain.
Mr. F. said we are alarmed with dangers instead of being convinced by argument. If the gentleman from Virginia is not indeed much mistaken we are first to be ruined by war with Britain, and afterwards overwhelmed by France, and distressed with numerous privations. It is true if Britain or any other nation find it to be their interest and design to go to war with us they will never be at a loss to assign a cause; we cannot turn our feet in regulating our own commerce; but they can in a manifesto give it the coloring of a cause of war. Without imputing to Britain a less degree of justice or honor, or calculating on her possessing a higher sense of national depravity, than any other nation, we must all admit that she is a pretty good judge of her own interest and sufficiently disposed to pursue it. If that is admitted it is the most evident interest of Britain to cease from her aggressions, and make reasonable restitution in preference to war or the privations we can make her suffer without going to war. At present and for a considerable time past, her commerce has been excluded from the greatest extent of the most fertile and wealthy part of Europe, and in these countries manufactures are so much encouraged that the British goods can never again be in the same demand in that quarter. For some of her most extensive and important manufactures she depends on the United States for the raw materials to the amount of near 6,000,000 of dollars, besides a large amount of other articles of the first necessity. These manufactures, the great source of her wealth and power, depend for their support upon her consumers as well as on the raw materials. No other nation in the world, probably all the nations of Europe, do not consume as much of her manufactures as the United States do; they not only consume what pays for the vast amount of raw materials of our own produce which Britain receives, but also to the amount of several millions of foreign articles which they purchase from our merchants; but they create a balance against us to a greater amount than the whole annual revenue of the United States the discharge of which swallows up the profits acquired by our exports to all other countries.
(To be continued.)
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16.
A bill for fortifying the ports and harbors of the United States and for building gun boats, was read a third time and passed.
The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole; Mr. Gregg in the chair; on the bill supplementary to the act, entitled "an act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the U. States."
The chairman proceeded to read the bill until he came to the 4th and 5th sections, which authorise the commissioners of the sinking fund to appoint one agent in London, and another in Amsterdam, to receive subscriptions and transfers, and to issue new certificates; and to enable the holders of old six per cents deferred or three per cent stocks who may become subscribers
to the new stock either in the United States or in Europe, and who on the first day of April next, and on the day of the subscription, shall be resident in Europe, to receive the interest on their stock, either in the United States, or at London, or in Amsterdam.
Mr. Varnum moved to strike out the fifth section.
This motion was supported by Mr. Davenport, and opposed by Mr. J. Randolph, and disagreed to; Ayes 34; Noes 42.
On motion of Mr. J. Randolph, the compensation allowed to each of the above agents was fixed at 3,000 dollars—Ayes 48.
The 8th section was read as follows: SEC. 8. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That from and after the first day of April next, whenever it shall be necessary to issue new certificates, either in lieu of such certificates of old six per cent. or deferred stock; as may be lost or destroyed, or by reason of a transfer of such stock from a stockholder to another, or from the books of an office to those of another office; the new certificates, instead of stating the nominal amount of stock which originally was, but is no longer the sum actually due by the United States, shall express the true amount of the annuity due, at the rate of eight per cent on the original amount of principal, at the time when it shall cease. But all the other provisions heretofore made by law, and now in force, relative to the said stocks, shall remain in full force, as if no alteration had been made in the form of the certificates: and such new certificates as may be subscribed, in conformity with the provisions of this act, according to the then unredeemed amount of the principal stock originally due.
Mr. Quincy moved to strike this section out, under the impression that it impaired the original contract between the U. States and the public creditors.
Mr. J. Randolph vindicated the section against this charge.
Mr. Dana did not think it impaired the original contract, but considered it superfluous, as in his opinion the power given by it was already vested by law in the officers of the treasury department; when the question was taken and the motion lost without a division.
Mr. Randolph moved to fill the blank in that part of the bill which provides for the conversion of three per cent. stock into six per cent. with "sixty two and a half;" by which the holder of every hundred dollars in the three per cent. stock is entitled to receive sixty two and a half dollars of six per cent.
Mr. Crowninshield opposed this motion, as well as the provision for converting the three per cent. into six per cent. stock under the idea that it would be injurious to the United States.
Mr. J. Clay defended the provision and made a detailed argument to shew that it would be beneficial to the United States.
Mr. Dana declared himself in favor of the proposed modification of the public debt.
Mr. Jackson spoke against it. Mr. J. Randolph advocated this part of the bill. And
Mr. Crowninshield replied. When the question was taken on the motion of
Mr. J. Randolph and agreed to; Ayes 31; Noes 34.
A motion made by Mr. Mumford requiring the agents before they enter on the execution of their offices to take an oath or affirmation for the diligent execution of their trusts, and requiring them to give bonds in one or more sureties, in the penal sum of 20,000 dollars; was agreed to.
Mr. Dana moved to strike out the words marked in italics in the following section with a view of restraining the provisions of the bill to the present three per cents, and under the impression that in the new stock proposed to be created, the government liberated itself from the obligation to pay a certain part of the principal and interest heretofore stipulated.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled. That a subscription to the full amount of the old six per cent. deferred and three per cent. stocks be, and the same is hereby proposed; for which purpose books shall be opened at the treasury of the United States, and by the several commissioners of loans, on the first day of April next, to continue open, until the seventeenth day of December next following, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for such parts of the above mentioned descriptions of stock as shall, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the treasury, and of the several commissioners of loans, respectively: which subscription
shall be effected by a transfer to the United States, in the manner prescribed by law for such transfers, of the credit or credits, standing on the said books, and by a surrender of the certificates of the stock subscribed.
Mr. J. Randolph and Mr. J. Clay opposed this motion, and denied the justice of the observation made by Mr. Dana.
When the motion to strike out the section was lost without a division.
The committee rose and reported the bill with several amendments, which were agreed to by the house, and the bill ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow, ayes 56.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Tenney in the chair, on the bill repealing the acts laying duties on salt, and continuing in force for a certain time the first section of the act, entitled "an act further to protect the commerce and seamen of the United States against the Barbary powers," as follows:
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, That from and after the day of next, so much of any act, or acts, as lays a duty on imported salt be, and the same hereby is repealed, and from and after the day aforesaid, salt shall be imported into the United States free of duty.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That from and after the first day of January next, so much of any act, or acts, as allows a bounty on exported salted provisions, and pickled fish, in lieu of drawback of the duties on the salt employed in curing the same, and so much of any act, or acts, as makes an allowance to the owners and crews of fishing vessels, in lieu of drawback of the duties paid on the salt used by the same, shall be, and the same hereby is repealed.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That so much of the act, passed on the 25th day of March, 1804, entitled, an act further to protect the commerce and seamen of the United States against the Barbary powers, as is contained in the first section of the said act, be, and the same hereby is continued in force until the end of the next session of congress, and no longer.
Mr. Quincy moved so to alter the first section, as only to take off the duty of 8 cents a bushel on salt, imposed by an act of congress passed subsequently to the act previously imposing a duty of 12 cents.
This motion was advocated by Messrs. Quincy, and opposed by Messrs. J. Randolph and J. Clay.
Mr. Lyon spoke generally against the bill, and concluded by moving to strike out the first section.
Mr. Bidwell advocated the principle of the bill.
Mr. Dana intimated his disposition to vote for it, under the idea that those who had the responsibility of government attached to them, thought they could dispense with it.
Mr. Emery supported the bill, and opposed the motions made by Mr. Quincy and Mr. Lyon.
Mr. Lyon's motion to strike out the first section was disagreed to—Aye 1.
When Mr. Quincy's motion was likewise disagreed to without a division.
On motion of Mr. J. Randolph the blank in the first section was filled with the first day of October.
Mr. Alston moved to amend the 3d section by striking out the words at the end thereof "in force until the end of the next session of Congress," and inserting "made perpetual."
This motion was disagreed to—Ayes 36—Noes 60.
The committee then rose and reported the bill, and the house took the report into immediate consideration.
Mr. Mumford moved to fill the blank in the first section with the first day of January.
This motion was opposed by Messrs. J. Randolph, T. Moore, Crowninshield and Sloan, when she house concurred in the report of the committee of the whole to fill it with the first of October.
Mr. Crowninshield moved to amend the last section so as to continue the two and a half per cent. duty on all goods paying an ad valorem duty for three years.
This motion was disagreed to, Ayes 28.
Mr. Lyon again spoke against the bill, so far as relates to taking off the duty on salt.
When it was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow. Ayes 83.
Thursday April 17.
The bill supplementary to the act entitled, "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the U. States," was read a third time.
Mr. Tallmage moved to postpone this bill indefinitely, and supported the motion in a speech of considerable length.
Mr. J. Clay replied, When the yeas and nays were taken, yeas 49 nays 45.
And the motion consequently, obtained.
The bill repealing the acts laying duties on salt, and continuing in force for a further time

first section of an act entitled, "an act for to protect the commerce and seamen of the United States, against the barbery powers was had a third time.
Mr. Masters moved to recommit the bill for the purpose of modifying its details.
Mr. Quincy supported the motion, which was ayes 37, nays 49.
When the yeas and nays were taken on the passage of the bill, yeas 84, nays 11.
Mr. Clarke from the committee appointed to inquire into the conduct of General Granger, postmaster general of the United States, and to report whether, in their opinion he hath so acted in his capacity of postmaster general as to require the interposition of the constitutional power of the house, made a
REPORT. The committee state that they have found themselves unable to make a full inquiry into the conduct of Mr. Granger, and recommend postponement of any further inquiry to the next session.
Ordered to lie on the table.
PHILADELPHIA, April 18.
Yesterday arrived the brig Lucy, captain Anderson, from Martinique and St. Thomas. Capt. A. informs that there was but little news at either of the above places. The minds of the colonial officers at Martinique, appeared to be considerably agitated in consequence of a late diminution of their pay; a recent alteration in the currency of that place appeared also to meet disapprobation. British armed vessels are continually cruising among the West India islands and boarding all vessels. Their chief rendezvous is still at Tortola where they convey all real and suspicious prizes to that jurisdiction; perhaps better to say condemnation; as the owner may count on a total loss when his vessel obtains her clearance from justice as the term it. One or two small American vessels, without even the scrawl of a pen relative to their vessel and cargo! had lately been carried into Tortola. The British meeting such vessels going into neutral ports, detain them until satisfaction can be given that an infringement of neutrality was not intended.
Captain Leffingwell, who arrived at N. York, from Guadalupe informs that on the 19th ultimo and several succeeding nights, attempts were made to set fire to the town of Point Petre, no other damage was sustained than the burning of two houses. An embargo had been laid during which time strangers, etc. were examined. The embargo was continued only twenty four hours.
CHARLESTON, April 7.
On Saturday arrived, and fired a salute, the ship Neptune, Taylor, of Philadelphia, 15 days from Port-au-Prince. The Neptune mounts 16 guns and 65 men, and has on board a cargo of 700,000 weight of coffee. Accounts by this vessel state, that the ship Leander, captain Lewis, with gen. Miranda on board, was at Jacmel. Capt. Lewis and Mr. Smith had arrived at Port-au-Prince, where they were raising recruits. The ship Emperor, of New York, sailed a few days before the Neptune; she cleared out for Louisiana, but it was believed she was destined to join the Leander at Jacmel. The object of the expedition was not publicly known.
Accounts by the America, from Rio Pongo, confirm the reports of the arrival of a French squadron on that coast. They were stated to consist of one 74, a 50 gun ship, 8 frigates and a brig; had captured the Favorite sloop of war and a brig; were scouring the coast, and it was supposed would take possession of Goree. The Arab sloop of war had sailed for the Isles de Los, and it was expected would fall into their hands.
The ship Leander arrived from N. York at Jacmel, about the 1st of March; as soon as her arrival was known at Port-au-Prince, the ship Emperor, captain Lewis, sailed to join her; a number of Americans that were there, went on board as volunteers. It is certain that this expedition is intended for the Carraccas; those engaged in it made no doubt of their success, as they were assured they would be received with great joy by the colonists there, who were stated to be ready for a revolution. The Leander had 180 men on board, these and those who went from Port-au-Prince, it was supposed would make a force of about 250 men, that could be spared from the ships to make a landing. It was said that the Leander had great quantities of arms, ammunition, and clothing, on board. Many commissions were given to Americans at Port-au-Prince. A Mr. Kirkland, from Boston, was appointed a colonel. A number of articles, such as cloathing, saddles, &c. were purchased at Port-au-Prince.

Extract of a letter from a commercial house in Point Petre to another in New York, dated March 18th.
"Since the 1st instant government has laid the following additional duties on produce:
 On brown sugar 2 livres per 1000 wt.  On clayed do. 6 do. do.  On coffee 12 do. do.  On cotton 10 do. do.  On cocoa, campeachy, and logwood 10 per cent. ad valorem; and 3 livres on each puncheon of rum. 
Provisions and dry goods, exported in any other vessel than the one by which they were imported, pay 10 per cent. ad valorem."
The famous French privateer the General Blanchat, formerly the brig Lion, of Charleston, is captured by the British sloop of war Favorite. The crew of the privateer behaved in a very desperate manner. They took the Favorite for a Guineaman, and laid the brig alongside, and after finding their mistake endeavored to carry the Favorite by boarding. De Breux was severed in pieces by a large gun shot, and 14 men killed, before she struck her colors. The Favorite did not lose a man.
The Secretary of the Navy, in his communication to Congress, made the 11th inst. estimates that the following sum will be required for the expenses of the navy for the current year, viz. 4,1950 dollars.
MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.
By the returns from 185 towns, it appears that
  Governor Strong has 23652   Mr. Sullivan 20168   Majority 3484   In the same towns in 1805.   For Gov. Strong 21857.   For Mr. Sullivan 18473.   3384. 
The Federal lists of Senators have succeeded in Suffolk, Essex, Worcester, and Hampshire counties—19 of the 40 Senators are therefore federal: and if Messrs. Storer & Cushing are chosen in Cumberland, there will be a federal majority in the Senate. In York it is expected there will be no choice. Letters from Bristol county say the number of federal votes will be much greater than last year.
JOHN RANDOLPH.—It is reported that this gentleman lately waited on president Jefferson, and enquired very particularly respecting the expected return of James Munroe, our Ambassador to Great Britain. Upon which Mr. Jefferson asked Mr. Randolph why that circumstance interested him so much. Mr. R. answered that he wished Mr. Munroe to be held up for the presidency at the next election. The president replied that he had supposed the Virginians would support Mr. Madison for that office. Mr. Randolph hastily rejoined, "I know not how that may be, but for my part, I want no more of your philosopher presidents."
[Trenton Federalist.]
The following paragraph is extracted from a piece which appeared in a Paris paper (the Publiciste) of December 10. It was printed as a letter from Vienna, dated November 23. The Publiciste is considered by some as a half official paper.
I wish to see Austria lose the Tyrol and Salzburg, in favor of Bavaria, which should be erected into a kingdom; the title of the emperor of Germany suppressed; Napoleon made emperor of the West; a new kingdom formed of Turkey in Europe; and the French, Spaniards, Germans, Italians and Greeks, united under one chief; to prevent the Scythians from ever passing the Dardanelles, and traversing Poland. This chief of the west will be master of the commerce of the east; and shall, when he chooses, make a journey to the Ganges."
The following melancholy article is copied from the Pennsylvania Correspondent, printed at Doylestown, in Bucks county, Pennsylvania.
"News of murders and robberies, generally excites a greater degree of interest, than information of any other kind. Intelligence is circulating in this neighborhood, of which the following is the substance. Its authenticity is not sworn to; but should it prove to have been a melancholy
reality, the public shall near more about it."
"A man living on or near the Dry Land, who had to pay the sum of 800L. about the first of April, called on his neighbor who kept a public house, informed him of the payment he had to make, and observed, he had the whole amount at his own house, except 15L. which he wished to borrow for a few weeks; the landlord very cheerfully agreed to lend the sum required, stating that he had it not in possession, but expected to go abroad the next day to collect the money, and would return in the evening when his neighbor might call and receive the sum wanted. With the joy which an honest man derives from the expectation of being able to fulfil his contracts did the neighbor call at the time appointed; the landlord had not returned; he therefore waited contentedly, every moment expecting him to come in; at the request of the landlady, he concluded to retire to bed, and if asleep at the return of her husband, he was to be called up; it being late he soon fell asleep; but had not slept long before his slumbers were disturbed by terrific dreams; he awoke his bed fellow, (a pedlar who had taken his lodgings there for that night only) and informed he had dreamed his house was on fire, and his wife and children enveloped in the flames.
The pedlar intreated him to lie down and quiet his apprehensions; but expostulations are unavailing to a man whose imagination is disordered from the idea that his family are in imminent danger. He would go home, and the pedlar feeling interested in the interpretation of the dream, agreed to accompany him; taking along a pair of excellent pistols which he had with him, well loaded. The night was dark, and as they approached the house, a bright light excited new and strong suspicions. Each taking a pistol they cautiously approached the lighted window, where with astonishment they beheld three men with blackened faces, counting money at a table; each of the spectators singled out his man, and two of the midnight plunderers fell lifeless on the floor; the third was met at the door, but conscious guilt had unnerved his arm, he was soon dispatched. Reader "if you have tears prepare to shed them now." The agitated husband went into his bedchamber, where the wife of his bosom and three young children were weltering in blood, and closing their eyes in death, having been inhumanly butchered in the "unsuspecting moments of sleep," by the three persons before-mentioned. My informant could not give the names of the parties, but states, that on washing the blackened faces of the deceased robbers, they proved to be near neighbors of the owner of the house, and were intimate family connections.
Pork kept fresh for a year.—A Mr. Poulney, of Philadelphia, dined on board a Spanish ship of war at the Havana, and eat of boiled fresh pork, which appeared as if just killed. He was told it was killed and put up a year before, at La Vera Cruz. The bones were taken out, and without any salt, the pieces were covered with Spanish brown (a red ochre). It was then packed in bags, for the officers. They shewed him some in bags, where they were covered with red ochre, which is washed off with warm water previous to boiling it. I presume any other pure, impalpable, especially dry astringent clay, would answer as well. Some clays so far partake of alum, as to shew it exuded, like a white mould. Such I have seen and tasted on the banks of the Chesapeake. But does Spanish brown contain alum?

FLED from the city of Baltimore, on Tuesday night, the 18th of March last, GERARD VON HARTEN, a merchant, and partner in the firm of Kenter and Von Harten, of that place. Some short time previous to his flight he forged promissory notes, to a very large amount, on twenty-eight of which forged notes, (amounting to forty thousand dollars) twenty-eight indictments have been found against him, in the criminal court of Baltimore county.
GERARD VON HARTEN is a middle sized man, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, about 32 years of age, he has a round and regularly featured face, of fair complexion, with full red cheeks, and is slightly pitted with the small pox, his eyes are rather small, and of a dark hazie color, his mouth small with a good set of teeth; his hair is dark or chestnut colored, and is cropped short. He is a native of Germany, and retains much of the Dutch accent in speaking English, which he articulates slowly, and with a little lisp.
When he left Baltimore, he travelled leisurely through Virginia, collecting his debts in Fredericksburg, Richmond and other parts of the state, and about the first of April was seen at Stanton, near which place he is supposed to be at present. Any person apprehending said VON HARTEN, and lodging him in any jail in the United States, so that he may be brought to punishment for the Forgeries lately committed by him in Baltimore, and giving notice thereof to the subscribers, in said city, shall receive the above reward.

N. B. Having debts due to him in Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Georgia, should he leave Virginia, will probably visit one of these states.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A foreign remedy for Colds, Obsolete 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 cures the most cruel disorder to which children are subject. The Elixir is 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.
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 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 infections—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 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,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  Stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the Stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and chronicity 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, below Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily testifies 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 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 dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar titles commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary a particular excellence this it contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and so mild 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, without 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 safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Which is so essential to health. Yet its salutary effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the complexion clear and clear, improving the complexion, and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tapes or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short fat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia 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 disfigurable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupt 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—Purgings, with slimy and foetid 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 EIGHTEEN 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 with gratitude 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 repelled 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, in 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.

Rich Kanawha Bottom Land For Sale or Exchange.
THE Subscriber offers for sale, or exchange for lands or other real property on the east side of the Blue Ridge, about 7000 acres of RICH BOTTOM LAND, on the Great Kanawha River, and on both sides thereof opposite below the mouth of Pocketolico Creek, in the state of Virginia, 25 miles from Point Pleasant, (in the county town of Mason county) and 12 miles from the town of Kanawha county, and adjoining the lands of the late General Washinton. They were surveyed at the same time with those lands in the year 1772, and are held under the same titles, viz Old Military Rights—which are unquestionable.
The Lands are of the very first quality, the Bottoms in many places a mile wide; they have been lately resurveyed and divided into lots containing from 150 to 350 acres each, for the accommodation of purchasers, each lot fronting on the river, and extending back from thence to the hills, which afford a most extensive range for flock, which can never be interrupted. One hundred acres therefore of this rich bottom, with its advantages, would make a good settlement. The great [Virginia] state road leading to the states of Ohio and Kentucky, passes by and through these lands, which being on a fine navigable river will command a ready and high price for the produce to the emigrants to the western country both by land and water. Their situation, on, besides, gives their occupants choice of the eastern or western markets, as produce may be found most profitable. The climate is mild and remarkably favorable to the production of fruit—Salt works are erected on the banks of the river but a few miles above these lands, and the neighborhood furnishes abundance of iron, coal, lime, stone, mills and mill seats; so that there is no part of the western country which holds out more advantages to persons desirous of emigrating. A more particular description of these lands, with plots of the several lots, their situation, description and price, may be had by application in Alexandria, to Mr. WILLIAM CRAIK, who attended the surveying of them, or to the subscriber.
