Forty Dollars Reward
Left my service on Thursday last, NEGRO LEWIS, about 18 years old, not very black, supposed to be between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 8 inches high, straight and rather slender made, two of his upper front teeth gone, which leaves a considerable gap—his dress not recollected, except when he went off he had on a coarse crab colored roundabout jacket and blue mixed kersey pantaloons much worn & had been patched with striped home-made cloth—he may change his cloaths, as his acquaintance in the county and Alexandria and neighborhood is extensive—he is slovenly in his apparel, peevish, talkative and assuming among his equals. ALSO, ON NEXT MORNING, NEGRO EMANUEL, 30 years of age, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, stout made across the shoulders, large feet, very much knock-kneed, which occasions an appearance of a rocking motion in walking, of a lighter shade than Lewis; his cloaths not known, as he has sundry and frequently changes them; he is a good sawyer and waggoner, and at any work of a farm none superior. I did suppose Lewis only absconded for fear of correction, he having been very important to his overseer; but Emanuel, who has a wife in the neighborhood from whom he has removed his cloaths, having also absconded, I suppose it is intended by them to endeavor to get entirely off. If taken in the counties of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, or Alexandria. I will give 20 dollars for both, or 10 dollars for either, and if out of those counties or the state the above reward for both or one half for either, if brought home or so secured that I get them, and all reasonable charges for one or both.

To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable. The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

The following are the introductory remarks to the reading of the Declaration of Independence made by Capt. George Youngs, at the Theatre on the 4th inst. which have been politely furnished, at the request of the Field and other Officers of the Legion, for publication.
Gentlemen Officers, and the Privates of the 2d Legion of the Militia of the district of Columbia, and Fellow-Citizens.
THIS day, which we have assembled together to celebrate, bears in the annals of our country a most distinguished rank—each return is marked with some peculiar honor, and its morn is hailed with delightful enthusiasm—the enthusiasm of freemen—it is the birth-day of our liberty, the day which gave to us existence as a free and independent nation. To recount to you the perils, hardships and dangers of our forefathers, the first settlers of a savage wilderness, 3000 miles removed from the mother country, and frequently almost without the means of subsistence—Or to relate to you the manner in which they warded off the dangers that in every quarter surrounded them, and averted the threatened famines which a wilderness and a savage foe often presented to their view, would be a task of too much length for the present occasion, and unnecessary to a people who, it is presumed, are not ignorant of the settlement, rise and progress of their own country.
It would be equally unnecessary to re-iterate the many acts of injustice, oppression and cruelty inflicted upon our forefathers by a mother country, whose fostering hand should have been extended to patronize these hardy adventurers, who had risked all, encountered all, to establish in a new country an asylum of freedom, where the liberty of conscience might be exercised without control.
Yet strange to tell, that ungrateful, unfeeling country, in violation of its most sacred faith, no sooner saw these hardy adventurers, the settlers of a distant wilderness, the creators of a new world, as it were, begin to reap the rewards of labors, hardships and dangers unparalleled, than its rapacious hand was extended to the American settlements—where wrongs and cruelties so often practised, that the chains of oppression, and released them from the bonds of slavery.
The Declaration of Independence made by our forefathers on the memorable 4th of July, 1776, best speaks their sufferings, and best portrays the injuries and cruelties practiced upon them. It conveys to you the opinions, sentiments and patriotism of those our ancestors who gave us liberty—of those magnanimous souls who knew their rights, and felt their injuries—who, trusting to the justice of their cause, appealed to that God to whose decrees they bowed with reverence, and under whose protecting arm they had so often been sheltered—boldly declaring their rights, and rushing with confidence to the contest which would decide them, the strife of battle they encountered—They conquered.
That Declaration of Independence, thus setting forth their rights, and thus declaring their freedom, and afterwards purified by the blood of sacrifice (during a tedious war) of many a noble soul, furnished the basis of our excellent constitution, formed in the council of patriots, whose virtue and wisdom stood universally acknowledged, at the head of which presided a WASHINGTON.
Those patriots who had been led by that great and best of men, through a long and tedious war, to the conclusion of a happy peace, which secured to America independence and freedom, were called upon by a united people to form a system of government congenial to the feelings and sentiments of freemen—They obeyed, and in a council where wisdom and pre-eminent virtue presided, that constitution under which we live was formed; it was ratified by the states, and is the compact which now unites us as one people.
These two instruments, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, present to you a barrier which tyranny can never overleap nor despotism beat down: retiring behind these sacred pales, and adhering to these principles, your safety and happiness are secure.
These are the principles of your forefathers, this the rule of action and this the system of government they adopted and recommended as the best to secure liberty and happiness. Let it be received then as a legacy of inestimable value—Let it be preserved without stain or blemish as the sacred offspring of virtue, wisdom and patriotism.
The clouds of contending Europe may gather, and louring threaten destruction to our land; but when we shew them the standards of our liberty, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of our country, and point their view to a united people rallying around them as the sacred shield of their safety, which they are determined to preserve or perish, they will stand appalled, shrink from the view, and dissolve in air.
Let us then, my friends, secure our happiness—Let us teach tyrants that we know our strength and have the wisdom to preserve it. Let party animosity cease—Let political dissensions be buried in oblivion—Let us all unite to promote our country's good—Let us feel and speak those pure sentiments of virtue and patriotism which our ancestors, the worthies of a free and virtuous people, felt and spoke on the 4th day of July, 1776.
This is their language and thus have they expressed themselves. [Capt. Youngs then read the Declaration.]
The Latest from France.
(VIA PHILADELPHIA.)
SECOND BULLETIN.
Head-Quarters, Muhlendorf, April 27.
On the 22d of April, the day after the battle of Landshut, the emperor left that city for Ratisbon, and fought the battle of Eckmuhl. At the same time he sent the marshal duke of Istria with the Bavarian division under the command of general de Wrede, and the Molitor division, to fall upon the Inn, and to follow the two corps of the Austrian army, which were beaten at the battles of Abensberg & Landshut.
The marshal duke of Istria arrived at Wilsbiburg and Neumark, and found an equipage of pontoon bridges erected, more than 400 waggons, large cases with equipages, and took in his march from 15 to 1800 prisoners. The Austrian corps met the other side of Neumark, a corps of reserve, which arrived upon the Inn. They rallied, and upon the 23d they gave battle at Neumark to the Bavarians. Notwithstanding their great inferiority, the Bavarians maintained their position.
On the 24th the emperor ordered the corps of the marshal duke of Rivoli from Ratisbon to Straubing, and from there to Passau, where he arrived the 26th. The Duke of Rivoli commanded a battalion of the Po to pass the Inn, which made 300 prisoners, raised the blockade of the citadel, and occupied Scharding.
On the 25th the marshal duke of Montebello received orders to march with his corps from Ratisbon to Muhlendorf. On the 27th, he passed the Inn and came to Salza.
The 27th, the emperor is at his headquarters at Muhlendorf.
The Austrian division commanded by general Jellachich, which occupied Munich, is followed by the corps of the Duke of Dantzig.
The king of Bavaria has shewn himself at Munich. He afterwards went to Augsburg where he will remain some days, waiting to re-establish his residence at Munich, and till Bavaria should be entirely freed from the enemy.
On the side of Ratisbon the duke of Auerstadt has gone in pursuit of the arch-duke Charles, whose communications with the Inn and Vienna being cut off, he has no other resource but to retire into the mountains of Bohemia, by Waldmunchen and Cham.
As for the emperor of Austria, it appears that he was before Passau, having taken upon himself the siege of that place with the battalions from Landwerth.
All Bavaria and the palatinate are freed from the presence of the enemy's armies.
At Ratisbon the emperor reviewed several corps, and had presented to him the bravest soldiers, on whom he bestowed distinctions and pensions, and to the bravest officers he gave Baronies and lands. He especially signified his satisfaction with the divisions of St. Hilaire and Friant.
Until now the emperor has made the war almost without his equipage, and it has been observed that in the actions of his guard he has always been surrounded by the allied Bavarian and Wirtemberg troops, wishing by so doing, to give them a particular proof of his confidence.
Yesterday arrived at Landshut a party of chasseurs and grenadiers of the guard on
horseback. A regiment of fusileers and a battalion of chasseurs on foot.
In eight days time all the guard will be arrived.
A report was current that the emperor had had his leg broken. The fact is, a spent ball had grazed the heel of his boot but had not touched his skin. Never was his majesty in the midst of the greatest fatigues in better health.
It is remarked as a singular thing, that one of the first Austrian officers made prisoners in this war is found to be the aid-de-camp of the arch-duke Charles, sent to Mr. Otto, to deliver the famous letter saying, that the French army were compelled to retreat.
The inhabitants of Ratisbon having behaved well, and shewn a patriotic and confederate spirit, which we had to expect from them, his majesty has ordained that the damages which they had sustained, should be made up to them at his expence; and particularly the restoration of the houses which had been burnt, the expence of which will amount to several millions.
All the sovereigns and all the countries of the confederation evince the most patriotic spirit. When the minister of Austria at Dresden, delivered the declaration of his court to the king of Saxony, that prince could not contain his indignation. "Do you wish war," said the king, "and against whom? You attack and insult him, who, three years since, master of your fate, restored you to your states. The propositions which have been made to me, afflict me. My engagements are known to all Europe. No prince of the confederation will separate himself from it."
The grand-duke of Wurtzbourg, brother of the emperor of Austria, has shewn the same sentiments, and declares, that if the Austrians advance to his states, he would retire if it was requisite to the other side of the Rhine. Thus the injuries of the court of Vienna are generally appreciated. The regiments of the petty princes, and all the allied troops, anxiously demand to march against the enemy.
Paris, May 5.
Messieurs the Vice-Generals of Paris went to the palace of his serene highness the prince arch-chancellor of the empire, for the purpose of concerting with him to put in execution the orders of his majesty the emperor relative to the prayers to be celebrated for the victories of Tann, Eckmuhl, and Ratisbon. It has been determined that the Te Deum shall be sung at the metropolitan church in two days.
Ulm, April 29.
A Wirtemberg aid-de-camp has brought to his sovereign the news, that the French advanced guard was yesterday morning at Voglabruch upon the Austrian territory.
Augsburg, April 26.
We are informed that the French troops have entered Passau, and that fort Obernhaus has fallen, after a vigorous defence, into the hands of the Bavarians.
Strasburg, April 27.
During some days past, several couriers have arrived from the army, with dispatches to her majesty the empress, giving information of the success of our arms, which becomes more and more important. The army of the arch-duke Charles is destroyed. All the artillery, the military chest, the baggage, and several thousand baggage waggons, are taken. The number of prisoners are immense. They have fought each day since the 19th, and have always been beaten. Our cavalry of which the duke of Istria has taken the command, pursues the weak remains of the Austrian army towards the Inn. The superb division of cuirassiers under the command of general count Espagnie, has rendered signal services.
Yesterday about noon, a courier extraordinary arrived with dispatches, announcing a new victory. They assure us, that the corps of the arch-duke John, who had invaded Tyrol, was cut off, and compelled to throw down their arms. We wait with impatience the details of this happy event.
As official news arrive here, they are transmitted by extraordinary couriers to Spain, Holland and Italy.
All the details we have prove that the defeat of the arch-duke Charles is complete. They write from Augsburg, that the prisoners arrive there by thousands. We do not know positively, where the arch-duke Charles has retreated to. Many of the Austrian regiments threw away their arms to speed their flight.
It is confirmed that the prince of Lichtenstein, one of the greatest partizans of the war, is grievously wounded—some say mortally.
BAYONNE, April 27. His excellency the duke of Treviso arrived at Burgos. He comes from the other side of the province of Asturias, where it is said the fiery bishop of St. Andres is hidden.
A battalion of Badois arrived the day before yesterday in our city. The organization of the national guards in the provinces of Biscay, Alava, and Navarre, opens with activity by the care of Don Francisco Amores, intendant general.

Ezra supplement of the Lisbon Gazette the 16th May, 1809.
Oporto, May 1.
I have the great satisfaction of communicating to you our restoration, by the arrival of the combined Portuguese and English army, which took place yesterday, about 9 o'clock in the forenoon at Villa Nova, where they assembled together; hardly noticed in this city; and as soon as the army was assembled, it began the attempt of passing the Doruo, though there was no bridge, in consequence of the French having blown it up with barrels of gunpowder, about 4 o'clock in the morning of the day, causing such a great noise, that it alarmed this whole city. The passage of the combined army was more brilliant and rapid than can be imagined, which the French believed they would not be able to effect less than a fortnight; but the plan of the general was so well formed, that the vanguard of the army arriving at three o'clock, 6000 men were already this side at 4 o'clock, and at noon the battle was already decided.
No sooner did the said general see his army was collected together, than he sent some troops on the bank of Villa Nova pretending that his intention was to pass the way; but he at the same time detached part of his army towards a point above, between the Collegio de Bispal and the Sado, where the river is the narrowest, and borders more perpendicular, and placing artillery on the hill, he ordered his men to embark in some boats, which he had collected in the said place; so that when the French, that were on the bank, gave notice of the debarkation, and they had repelled there, 2000 men had already landed, the artillery kept up such a fire from the hill upon the French, with the view of protecting the debarkation, that as this was executing under the hill, the French could not prevent it, not being able to reach on the brink of the precipice to fire down upon them for the artillery opposite swept off everything; finally, the combined army got the upper hand, and began the battle, which was very hard in the place of Prado de Obispo, our regiments No. 16, being one of those that distinguished themselves the most. The slaughter of the French was considerable; they lost on this occasion three heavy pieces of cannon and two howitzers; on our side we had five men killed, and the English eight, and about as many wounded.
The action being over, on account of the precipitate flight of the French, the combined army went in pursuit of them, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, more than a hundred prisoners and a few officers were brought in. The cavalry was continuing to pursue them. Our army had already had in Grjo a great action, on the day of Ascension, where they routed the French, and took a great number of prisoners; in which the regiment No. 16 received great praise, which the general said he would command as a distinction. In consequence of this action, the remainder of the day and night the enemy continued retreating, and have arrived at Amarante; and the report is now that the Portuguese troops under gen. Silveira are near that place, and will attack the French.
Lisbon, May 1.
The 13th inst. being the anniversary of the birth of the prince regent, who is so much the sovereign of our choice, as by inheritance, it was celebrated in a magnificent manner. The ships were dressed and painted; the troops were in full dress, the parade, and fired a feu-de-joie; the castle, theatre, etc. illuminated at night.
We have accounts that the inhabitants of Viana (a seaport 36 miles N. of Oporto) have risen against the French, and that Tuy, Valinzia, and all the district between the rivers Lima and Menho, is again in the power of its lawful sovereign.
The last papers from Seville mention that they have accounts there of an insurrection at Marseilles and Toulon.
SPAIN.
TERRAGONA, April 27.
Gen Blake commandant of the division of Tortosa, has written to our gen. Blake.

Under date of April 4, at Tortosa, an account of several small affairs, in which the patriots have been successful. [The accounts from Tarragona are to the 17th of April, on which day a very animated promenade was issued by gen. Reding. The French appear to make no progress in the South of Spain. In the middle of March, they were about to take Tarragona.
REVO, April 4.
We have just learnt, that between 500 and 2000 of the Gallo-Italian troops in this province have deserted, and joined the patriots at Tarragona.
The Seville dates are to April 26—several dates the latest. The Spanish junta was still there, and had just issued a proclamation which shows that their confidence of eventual success, and their detestation of those, who are endeavoring to force a king upon them is undiminished.
Francisco Palafox, (a brother probably of the immortal hero of Saragossa) has published an animating address to the brave Aragonese.
Letters from the Spanish gen. Cuesta are to the 29th April.
Joseph Bonaparte, soi-disant king of Spain, has written a letter to the supreme junta, lamenting the contest in Spain, and the evils it had produced, and proposing that commissioners should be appointed to negotiate for tranquilizing the country. The Junta answered, that all their calamities were attributable to the criminal ambition of the Bonapartes: that Joseph would restore tranquillity if he pleased by withdrawing the French troops and himself, and returning to the country the sovereign it acknowledged; and they had made oath to accept no other terms. The Portuguese papers has many accounts of donations for carrying on the war.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.
A new work of uncommon merit has lately appeared in London, edited by JOHN PINKERTON, author of Modern Geography, &c. entitled, A General Collection of Voyages and Travels: forming a Complete History of the Origin and Progress of Discovery, by Sea and Land, from the Earliest Ages to the Present time. Preceded by an Historical Introduction, and Critical Catalogue of Books of Voyages and Travels: and illustrated and adorned with numerous Engravings.
The following Prospectus, by the London publishers, will give a correct idea of the plan and arrangement of the work:
PROSPECTUS.
The relations of Voyages and Travels have so universally been regarded among the most valuable and interesting products of literature, that it cannot be necessary at this time to dwell minutely upon the claims they possess to a reader's attention. More captivating than the best contrived works of fiction, on account of the personal adventures with which they are filled, and the objects of wonder and admiration which they present to the fancy; they are not less fertile of solid instruction than the most profound investigations of philosophy. They have brought to light many circumstances, as well of human polity as of the economy of nature, of which no conception could have been formed from the limited view of a few contiguous regions; and a great portion of the superior knowledge possessed by the moderns above the ancients, must be attributed to the enlarged prospects of the world we inhabit, afforded by exploratory enterprise.
To gratify the curiosity which works of this description have ever been found to excite, has been the object of numerous compilations. From the first collection published by Grynæus, at Basel, early in the 16th century, to the most recent, the number has been so great, that a bare catalogue of them would extend to a considerable length. Not a few of these have even aspired to the consequence of General Histories of this branch of knowledge. Among the latter, the superiority of the French "Histoire General des Voyages," is universally allowed. But this superiority is wholly founded upon English ground, the work having been originally published at London in 1745, &c. under the title of a new general collection of Voyages and Travels, printed for Thomas Astley; whence this work is called Astley's Collection. The Abbe Prevost, who executed the French translation, was, and remains, a writer of considerable fame; and, above any duplicity, frankly avowing the translation in the prefaces to the several volumes, while he regrets at the same time that he is constrained to follow the defects of the original plan. He only imparted to the work a title more popular, and more adapted to the taste and curiosity of his countrymen.
It is unnecessary here to enter into any detail of the defects which obstruct and encumber this celebrated compilation. The
booksellers of Paris induced La-Harpe to give a more popular abridgment; but as he rather lent his name than his talents, had never studied the subject, and forgets to quote the original authorities, his book has fallen into neglect. It is indeed insipid; for he, as well as his predecessor, seems to forget, that what may be deeply impressive in the first person, and in the unstudied expression of the original traveller, may lose its principal attractions when narrated in the uniform language, and studied colours of style, of the general historian.
It is unnecessary to mention two voluminous compilations of this description, which have recently appeared in Germany and Spain; neither of them have a right to claim exemption from the censure above conveyed. But while other nations evince a kind of emulation in this department, it becomes more and more worthy of this great commercial country, whose discoveries are boundless, and whose power encircles the globe, as she gave the first pattern of a reputable work of this nature, to afford the example of proportional superiority in a new publication, in which a truly scientific plan shall be combined with a merit of execution conformable to the literary taste and splendor of the present age.
Impressed with these considerations, and animated by the hope of liberal encouragement from a discerning and enlightened public, the editors of this prospectus had long revolved the design of such a collection. The novelty and merit of the arrangement pursued by Mr. Pinkerton in his system of Modern Geography, induced them to think of that gentleman, as his geographical pursuits seemed particularly to qualify him for such an undertaking, and his known habits of literary industry to conduct it with great labor and perseverance. Even while detained in France, they knew that he was occupied with researches of this very description for a new edition of his Geography; nor were they surprised upon his return to learn that he had even digested the plan of a grand work of this nature.
The chief object of such a collection should be to preserve what is most important and interesting in the numerous books of voyages and travels which have at any time appeared. A general chronological distribution would be highly objectionable, as by distracting the readers attention to various and remote regions, he would only find confusion instead of order. The arrangement must therefore be such, that sometimes one volume sometimes two may be allotted to particular countries and parts of the world, and form as it were complete edifices in themselves. In the present publication it is proposed that Europe should assume the first rank; and the first volumes will present the most curious and interesting voyages and travels to the remote parts of that division of the globe; as Iceland, Lapland, Novaya Zembla, Spitsbergen, &c. Some short narratives of travels still remain in manuscripts in various libraries; these, when really interesting, shall be inserted, or extracts of them introduced. All the travels in foreign languages must be translated or abridged with great fidelity and exactness, so as to constitute a work of authentic reference.
It is proposed to pass uninteresting details, and those which are superceded by farther discovery and the progress of knowledge; and to form a selection only of such works and parts as will ever interest the general reader, from the intrinsic value of the narrative as forming an epoch in the progress of discovery, as being remarkable for fidelity or animation; &, in some few & short instances, from their great rarity. An introductory vol. which will however be the last in the order of publication, is reserved for an historical introduction and general descriptive catalogue of the works omitted in the present collection which is intended to be so constructed as not only to embrace every interesting production to be found in the former large compilations, but also a great number which have escaped the researches of the editors.
The prints will be select and well engraved. It would be superfluous to accompany such a work with an Atlas; yet small maps will be occasionally inserted for the more complete intelligence of the text. It is hoped that the whole may be comprised in ten or twelve volumes.
Removal.
THE subscriber intends to remove from Dumfries to the town of Staunton, Augusta county, Virginia, about the last of the present month. Those who have confided business to his care, will please apply to Philip Harrison, or William A. G. Dade, who are in possession of their papers and particularly informed of the state of their suits.

RECOMMENDATION.
THE Superintendent of Police recommends to the citizens of Alexandria, during the warm season, a frequent use of LIME in their Privies and other parts of their premises where filth accumulates—and the greatest attention is required to the keeping clean and dry their cellars, so that no stagnant water be left in them.
He particularly requests the proprietors of unoccupied houses and cellars to cause them frequently to be opened and aired—housekeepers are required to cause all the rubbish accumulated in their back yards to be thrown into the streets that the scavengers carts may take it away.
John Longden, Superintendent of Police.

LEE'S ELIXIR!
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. A single trial of this medicine will prove its efficacious quality in restoring a perspiration common to healthy people; it dislodges and expels the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthening the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms of course are effectually and permanently conquered. The great number of cures performed in 1808 by this elegant and useful preparation, is sufficient to astonish and convince those that labor under colds, coughs, consumptions, &c. of being immediately relieved, without saying any thing of the many thousands benefited in former years; however for the information of those persons, if any there be, that have not heard of the balsamic qualities of Lee's Elixir, we give the names of the following persons who are well known to our citizens in general as persons of known integrity and strict veracity. From the following certificates it will plainly appear, that a three year's consumption, a common cold or cough, are all with ease removed by Lee's Elixir.
Messrs. R. Lee and Son,
The superior qualities of your medicine, called Lee's Elixir , induces me to give you this certificate for publication, to point to my suffering fellow mortals the road to health, the most valuable of all earthly possessions. For upwards of three years I have been afflicted with a severe cough, tightness of the breast, lowness of spirits, and a gradual wasting of the flesh; having tried different medicines recommended for such cases, without receiving any real benefit; fortunately one of your advertisements was given to me—I immediately applied to Mr. Vance , 178, Market street, for some of your Elixir, which has contrary to the expectations of my friends restored me to my former good state of health. Any other information will be given by me.
George Harwood, Market street, Baltimore
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish for the good of others, the benefit I have received from your excellent preparation called Lee's Elixir . Being afflicted with violent pains in the breast, loss of appetite, and a debility of the whole system, which rendered me unable to attend to business, being advised to try Lee's Elixir , I procured two bottles, which has entirely removed the complaint, and restored me to a perfect state of health. From the good effect of your Elixir I was led to suppose your other medicines were equally efficacious, which induced me to give your Worm Lozenges to my children, and with pleasure I inform you they had the desired effect. Any other information I shall give on application to me at my house in Sly's street, Baltimore.
John Keller.
Messrs. R. Lee & Son,
In December last I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse, during which time my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me, that much good had been done by the use of Lee's Elixir , advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna , which I accordingly did—and to those persons unacquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of the one bottle restored me to PERFECT HEALTH .
J. A. Smith, Market street, Fell's Point.

FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. Lewis, the well known author of the Spectre, Monk, Adelgitha, &c. &c. Handsomely bound, one dollar—the Eng. edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents.
What black Musician conjures up this fiend! What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? Alas, I blame ye not, for ye are mortal, And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil's Avant, thou dreadful Minister of Hell. RICHARD M. SCOTT.
In justice to this excellent Romance, need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past has such full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop, but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis writings or translations in the Romance style being so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers.
NOTE. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira by Lewis.
