NEW YORK, June 23.
THE LATEST NEWS From the Continent of Europe,
Almost every day adds something new to our stock of intelligence from Europe. We yesterday occupied a considerable portion of the Mercantile Advertiser , with interesting extracts from London prints to the 11th ultimo; and this morning the arrival of the ship Swift from Liverpool in the short passage of 32 days has enabled us to extend those extracts to the 13th inclusive. The 71st and 72d bulletins of the French grand army are in our possession and shall be attended to to-morrow.
LONDON May 12.
The treaty with Britain it is said has been sent back to London for reconsideration, and we should hope that by mutual concession, the whole of this disagreeable dispute may be amicably adjusted. Perhaps however our present ministry, with that laudable spirit of contradiction to the former cabinet which has prompted all their measures since their accession to office, may undo what their predecessors have done, and involve us in war with a country united to ours by the ties of blood as well as of policy, to prove their zeal for the religion of Peace.
The Channel fleet has been obliged to return in part from the uncommon severity of the weather.
Arrived at Plymouth, the Veronica of Newcastle, Henry Fyle, master from Memel, which place she left the 28th March for this port with timber; when the master left Memel there were nearly 20,000 Prussian troops at that place and its neighborhood, which were not able to join the army for want of arms, which were anxiously expected from this country: arms of every description were demanded from individuals for the temporary supply of the army. Ammunition was also so scarce, that the British ships of war in the Baltic were obliged to part with a great part of their stock for the use of the combined armies.
May 13
As we last night predicted, the new ministers are resolved to make no concessions to America. The evening trumpeter, not of their fame, but of their disgrace, warns us that the age of concession is past. Of this we are aware. What then is left us? When fools are too obstinate to concede—too dull to be convinced—they must then be constrained.— Statesman .
So confident were generals Tarleton and Gascoigne of being returned for Liverpool on Thursday, that the chairs were brought out in the morning for the purpose of chairing them, and they had ordered a sumptuous dinner to be provided in the evening; when an independent freeman of the name of Green unexpectedly came forward and nominated Mr. Roscoe. The name of Green is ominous to gen. Tarleton, who must remember his unpleasant race with gen. Green in America, when the English hero rode first horse for a distance of nearly two miles. The friends of Mr. Roscoe are determined to keep the poll open the legal time, fifteen days.
May 14.
The Levant fleet, under convoy of the Juno , has arrived in port. Intelligence has been received by it relative to the state of the various squadrons in the Mediterranean. The combined fleet in Cadiz consists of thirteen sail of the line, of which five are French and eight are Spanish. There are, moreover, three or four ships of the line in ordinary, two upon the stocks, and several sloops and frigates refitting. In Carthagena, there are three sail of the line, three frigates, and two sloops all ready for sea. The ships are all manned, and with their sails bent. The French admiral made a late attempt to escape: but perceiving that lord Collingwood was on his station, and was resolved to remain there, he deemed it prudent to return into the harbor, and wait the co-operation of the Spanish and Rochefort squadrons. Besides the above squadrons in Cadiz and Carthagena, there are three two deckers, two frigates, and three sail of the line, in the harbor of Toulon; and three frigates, two sloops, and many gun-boats in that of Venice. At Naples there are two sloops and a frigate. The vessels in the Italian ports are but badly manned, but the French endeavor to remedy this defect, by pressing the crews of every vessel which they chance to meet.
When the Juno left the Cadiz fleet, admiral sir John Duckworth and sir Sidney Smith were hourly expected off Cadiz; and
orders had been received by lord Collingwood, to instruct these officers to proceed immediately on their way home. Mr. Arbuthnot, his family and suite, are coming home in the Amphion .
The Barbary powers had learned the first success of admiral Duckworth forcing the passage of the Dardanelles, and the intelligence had produced a very sensible effect upon them.
The rumor of an existing negotiation for a general peace was revived on Tuesday with increased confidence, upon the alleged authority of private letters, received by the last Hamburg mail. The overtures were stated as having been made by Napoleon to the emperor Alexander, who was of opinion, that they should be submitted to the allies. The inactivity of the armies in Poland has been also urged, as evidence of a subsisting negotiation. But it is confidently asserted, on the other hand, that all hopes of amicable arrangement had vanished before the emperor of Russia left his capital. As in the latter case a battle must have been fought before this time, these contradictory reports have greatly increased the public anxiety for the arrival of foreign papers.
May 15.
Hamburg papers to the 6th, and Dutch to the 12th, arrived in town last night. Although their details are interesting, yet they are totally silent on the main object of our anxiety—the great battle which was anticipated to be on the eve of taking place. Bonaparte seems at this moment more willing to emulate the policy of Machiavel than the prowess of Alexander; and to place greater reliance on flattery than on force.
If report is at all to be credited, Austria has lately shown some symptoms of being influenced by French intrigue. Mr. Stewart, whose arrival from the court of Petersburg we mentioned in our yesterday's paper, is said to be charged with proposals submitted by Napoleon to the allies, and backed by a haughty recommendation on the part of his Austrian majesty. It is even said, that the last mentioned power has gone so far as to declare Turkey its ally! We hope these rumors are unfounded. But when we consider the jealousy of Russian interference in the affairs of Turkey, always manifested by the former head of the Germanic body, we must confess we find more ground for dread than hope.
The late change in our councils cannot be supposed to impress a favorable opinion of our steadiness, any more than an increase of vigor in our measures. It is not, therefore, a matter either for complaint or admiration, if foreign states consult only what they may deem their own interests, unconnected with a reference to our situation. When England herself seems to have lost all sense of what is due to her, we must not expect other nations to be careful of her interests.— Statesman .
MAY 16.
Mr. Shaw, the messenger, arrived here last night with dispatches. The three Hamburg mails which were due also arrived. They have not brought any intelligence of importance from Poland; but the Paris papers to the 8th assert, that hostilities will recommence as soon as the weather will permit. All hopes of peace are vanished, the Paris papers admitting, that the overtures of Bonaparte have been peremptorily rejected. The senate, in an address to Bonaparte, in answer to his message relative to the conscription, talk of dictating peace, boast that his army is stronger by 130,000 men than it was at the commencement of the war, and hold out the prospect of his surprizing, turning, and surrounding the Russian army, and compelling them to receive from him either death or law.
His Swedish majesty has refused to ratify the extraordinary armistice concluded by gen. Essen, whom he had removed from his command. A reinforcement of 15,000 Swedes, has been ordered to be embarked for Stralsund, and the Swedes will have in Pomerania an army of not less than 10,000 men. Bonaparte will thus be obliged to keep a strong force to watch them, and his grand army will of course be weaker than it would have been had the armistice been raised.
The Vienna court Gazette in an article under the head of Turkey, states, that the Russians have made an unsuccessful attempt to take the castle of Tejeodos. The Dardanelles is strictly blockaded by the English and Russians. We shall soon see whether they will be more successful under Mahomet's squadron, which has been conveyed from the Mosque of St. Sophia, with extraordinary solemnity and pomp, to the camp near Adrianople.
The transports that were at Portsmouth have been ordered to the Downs to receive troops immediately. Ten thousand foot, is said, are to be embarked, and four thousand horse. Four companies of artillery have been embarked at Woolwich. Three troops of gunner drivers are also under orders for embarkation.
Orders have been dispatched by government to the commissioners of the customs, to be for-
warded to all the out ports, for laying an embargo upon all ships and vessels belonging to the grand seignor; and also from the admiralty, to the commanders of king's ships and privateers, to detain and bring in all vessels, property, &c. belonging to the subjects of the Ottoman Porte.
The French have taken possession of the islands of Usedom and Wallin in pursuance of the armistice which the king of Sweden has not ratified.

Potsdam, April 20.
The emperor has divided the grand army into three principal corps, which he has reviewed in succession.
The enemy has also divided its force into three principal corps. One is to be commanded by the emperor of Russia in person, with general Benningsen under him. Another will be led on by the king of Prussia, assisted by general Ruchel, and Lestocq. The third will be commanded by the grand duke Constantine and general Tolstoy. The principal advanced guard remains under the orders of prince Bragration. It appears to be almost certain, that every prospect of peace have vanished, the courts of Russia and Persia having rejected the proposal made by the emperor Napoleon.

SATURDAY, JUNE 27.
On Wednesday last, at half past 3 o'clock, the Grand Jury returned two bills of indictment against Burr and Banderpasset for Treason and Misdemeanor. Burr was committed to prison.
BRITISH OUTRAGE!
We give the public the particulars of the following outrage on the American flag, under the influence of feelings which, we are certain, are in unison with those entertained universally by our fellow citizens.
On Monday last the U. S. frigate Chesapeake , of 38 guns, left the capes, where there lay at anchor a British squadron consisting of three two deckers, and one frigate of 38 guns. As she passed this squadron, without molestation, one of the two deckers, the Leopard , put off, and went to sea before the Chesapeake . When the latter came up with the Leopard , at the distance of about three leagues from the squadron, her commander, captain Humphries, hailed the Chesapeake , and said he had a dispatch to deliver from the British commander in chief (meaning admiral Berkeley of the American station) commodore Barron supposing it was a dispatch for Europe, hove to, when captain Humphries sent on board of her, a letter covering an order of admiral Berkeley, to take from the Chesapeake three men, alleged to be deserters from the Melampus frigate, and designating them by name. Commodore Barron replied by letter that no such men, as named in admiral Berkeley's order, were on board, and added that his crew could not be mustered for examination by any other officers than his own. This answer was couched in terms of politeness. It was no sooner received than a broadside was discharged from the Leopard . The crew of the Chesapeake were at this time not at quarters, considering the Leopard a friend, and commodore Barron not contemplating the possibility of danger so immediately after leaving the capes. No other attempt was therefore made to fight her than the discharge of a few straggling guns, while the Leopard repeated 3 or 4 more broadsides; when the Chesapeake struck her colors, after having 3 men killed and 18 wounded.
A boat was then put off from the Leopard with an officer who demanded 4 men. Commodore Barron said he considered the Chesapeake as a prize to the Leopard ; the captain of which vessel said, no, that his orders were to take out the men, which, having executed, he had nothing further to do with her. Thus dismissed, she returned to Hampton roads, where she now lies. She received in her hull 22 round shot, her foremast & mainmast were destroyed, her mizenmast greatly injured, and her standing rigging and sails very much cut.
Of the wounded eight are considered dangerous, and two have lost an arm. Commodore Barron suffered a contusion, received from a splinter, which is not serious. No other officer is wounded excepting midshipman Broom, and he but slightly.
Nothing evinces in more striking colors the insolence of captain Humphries, than his immediate return, after this outrage, to the capes, where he now lies with the other ships of the squadron. Nat. Intel.
TRIAL OF COL. AARON BURR.
LATEST PROCEEDINGS.
James Knox being sworn, deposed and said; That he went to N. O. some time in March; afterwards he received a note from general Wilkinson, making some enquiry concerning serjeant Dunbaugh. He called on the general, who received him personally, and asked him whether he was at liberty to reveal what occurred in coming down the river. Enquired of the witness a few questions—Then began to take notes. The witness stopped him from taking them down. He then asked the witness his circumstances, and if he were in want of money. Offered to supply him, which the witness refused. The witness was served about the 12th of May with a subpoena by lieutenant Gaines, to attend the Federal Court at Richmond. He went to Gaines's office about four days afterwards—was taken by a sheriff on Sunday evening, who took him to judge Hall's—The judge was from home—went again and was told by the judge that he was to give his deposition or go round to Richmond; Answered that he had no objection to going to Richmond; but not having counsel refused to give his deposition, lest he should commit himself—No person but the governor was present—The governor desired the sheriff to take his word, if the judge could not be found—Saw the judge, and was bailed until 11 o'clock—When he appeared the judge had before him a number of printed interrogatories. The witness asked the liberty of reading them—He permitted him to do so. The judge asked if he would answer—The witness refused until he had counsel; he afterwards spoke to a Mr. Carr, who informed the witness, that the judge had no right to demand such answers. The judge still persisted to interrogate, some of which interrogatories the witness answered. The witness then related every thing that passed until his arrival at New Orleans. Mr. Fort was then sent for to judge Hall's and interrogated, after which the judge gave the deputy marshal a note; who took Fort and the witness and placed them in a jail among negroes. Fort was bailed, the witness remained in jail until the vessel was ready in which he embarked. He requested at his departure to get his clothes. Dunbaugh came to the jail for him with some men having side arms. The witness asked if they were a guard: Answered no; but has since been told by Dunbaugh they were a guard. They went with Dunbaugh and himself to the water edge—Witness asked whether lieutenant Gaines was on board, said no; but would soon be. When Dunbaugh came to the jail he had an order which was handed to the jailers. While in jail witness wrote to Llodley and Dr. Mitchell to come and see him—was informed by the jailer they would be confined. He did not send the note—did not see Gaines on that day. Gaines told him he, the witness was in bad humor and he had better be satisfied. Witness asked Gaines for leave to go on shore for his clothes. He did not give him leave, said it was not in his power to grant the request, but in the power of gen. Wilkinson. The witness was not permitted to get his clothes. Llodley brought him one of his shirts, which he lent. Gaines, after the witness told him he might put him in irons and bring him round in that manner, offered him forty dollars. Witness said if he would let him go on shore he did not want it, otherwise he must take it. Paid it and sent twenty dollars by governor Claiborne to his landlord. When came to anchor at Hampton, Gaines asked him if he had any objection to go to Richmond; Witness said he never had any objection. Gaines said to witness he was sent by authority of judge Hall. Gen. Wilkinson at Hampton spoke to witness and asked him if he had an objection to come to Richmond. Told witness he had not heard of his not being permitted to bring his clothes until that morning. Gen. Wilkinson said he was ill used, told him he must understand he was brought round by order of judge Hall. Gen. Wilkinson proposed to let the witness go to Richmond upon his own parole of honor, which was refused. Gen. Wilkinson said if witness wanted twenty dollars he should have it—Afterwards said if he wanted fifty dollars he might have it if witness wanted money to purchase clothes. Witness took the money, observed in the first conversation that he had twice asked favors of him and Gaines and would never ask another favor of any person. Witness came to Richmond by water—Mosely told him he had orders from Wilkinson to take charge of the passengers on board the Reveille and bring them to Richmond, and there wait Wilkinson's orders.

Witness when cross-examined by Mr. Wirt said he was born in Hagers Town Maryland; removed to Pennsylvania when small; has resided in that state ever since until the 24th or 25th of November last, when he set out for New Orleans. Went down the Ohio. From Meadvill he went down the Allegany, then to Beaver, from thence down the Ohio; stopped at Blain- hasset's island with about twenty or thirty men, staid there a day or two; arrived there in Dec. Blainhasset and another man went down. They stopped at the falls of the Ohio a little, and next stopped at Shawnee town; and was joined there by about the same number; stopped at Cumberland river; there saw col. Burr, first time. They altogether did not amount to sixty men; stopped at fort M'as- sac, was there joined by serjeant Dan- baugh who brought a broken musket rifle. After joining col. Burr, he considered himself as under the direction of colonel Burr. That he then went to Natchez; but as Burr did not go down he then went to New Orleans. Arrived there about 16th of March.
When he was put on board the Revenge , he had not his clothes and asked captain Gaines for them; stated he had no sea stores. Gaines said he would procure them, if he had a memorandum; said he had not time but requested the witness to write to him on shore. He did write and requested a person to bring his trunk on board, that he might take what he wanted out of it, and send the trunk back. His letter was refused to be sent and the Revenge sailed in about three quarters of an hour afterwards. He arrived in Richmond on a Friday and put up at the Bell tavern. Did not see col. Burr for two or three days afterwards. He was induced to give the affidavit from the treatment he met with—was about to make complaints to the court on Saturday morning, and expected the same treatment here that he met with at New Orleans. After the trial at Natchez he took col. Burr in a wherry at Cole's Creek, and carried him to a place up the river. Parted with col. Burr in the woods Left col. Burr at Natygross. Did not hear col. Burr make any address at part- ing with the company.
Never spoke to general Wilkinson un- til after receiving his notice; but Dan- baugh spoke to him, and asked him to go to the general. He refused; Danbaugh asked him if Wilkinson would write a note whether he would go. He said he had no objection. The note from Wilkinson was sealed but open at the end.
Questioned by col. Burr. When in the wherry was obliged to stop on account of the weather. When with Tyler the whole party had but five guns, having sailed from New Orleans in half an hour after general Wilkinson came on board, when gen. W. offered him money, he considered it as a bribe. The conversation with gen. W. took place before the service of the subpoena.
Lieutenant Gaines was sworn. Receiv- ed a letter from the attorney general of the U. S. dated 29th April. Set out for New Orleans the 2d of May, and arrived on the 7th; went to the house where Monhall & Lindsay stayed; but never found them at home. The landlord told him, that they always went out, when he was seen ap- proaching the house. He desired the landlord to tell them, that he had nothing but subpoena to attend the trial of colonel Burr. Knox said he could not come im- mediately, until he received some money. Lindsay agreed to come upon further con- versation. Knox refused to come. Gaines then applied to judge Hall, who told him that an affidavit showing the materiality of his evidence, would bring him before him and that he would take his recognizance for his appearance in Richmond. He went the next day to see the judge. He shewed to him a deputation from the marshal to take charge of Knox for his place. He accepted it upon condition, that he should not at all times have charge of the person of Knox. When the Revenge was nearly ready to sail, he sent a written order to the jailer by Danbaugh, who received Knox. When about to sail, he offered Knox forty dollars, which at first some hesitation he ac- cepted. Knox said he wanted papers, ne- cessaries and some clothes. Knox was requested to write to some friend for which purpose paper was given to him, and Gaines said he would procure them. He hesitated until Gaines left the vessel, and Gaines staid in New Orleans one hour, and not hearing any thing of Knox, returned on board. In the service of the subpoena, he acted under the direction of the attorney general, in all things which related to them. After he went before judge Hall, he acted under the deputation of the mar- shal, except that he offered the said Knox
a passage in the public vessel, by the di- rections of the commander in chief. Knox after the sailing of the Revenge , was under no restraint. In Hampton roads Knox said he wished to come to Richmond, but not in a vessel. On the passage Knox was treated as well as the inferior officers on board. He was not before judge Hall with Knox, and does not know for what cause he was committed. He always considered Knox as under his control as deputy mar- shal, and general Wilkinson exercised no control over Knox during the passage.— When he received the deputation, he never gave bond or took an oath of office. On his arrival at New Orleans, he sent all the subpoenas in the hands of general Wilkin- son, and left some of them with him.— General Wilkinson mentioned Knox to Gaines— informed him Knox was in New Orleans, and recommended him to Gaines to be summoned. He had casual conver- sation with general Wilkinson, but no di- rect communication between them. When he received the subpoena back from general Wilkinson he does not remember that any thing particular passed on the subject. He informed general Wilkinson that judge Hall said an oath was necessary. The general took the oath before judge Cenas in his own quarters. Does not recollect whether he delivered the certificate of oath to the judge or not, but believes he did not. He delivered a letter to general Wilkinson which he believes inclosed some subpoenas. He does not recollect having received or- ders, instructions or advice from general Wilkinson; but Wilkinson consulted with an attorney. He always considered him- self as bound to obey the orders of general Wilkinson. He considered general Wil- kinson as having the power to control all the officers and men on board the Revenge , belonging to the army or navy of the U. States.
Stopped a short time at the Havannah, on account of the sickness of some of the men; badness of the water on board, and the want of fruits and refreshments; put in about 4 o'clock and sailed the same night. This was done at the request of the persons unwell, ad- dressed to general Wilkinson and capt. Read; heard captain Read give orders to the cook, to supply the men with necessary provisions; but knows of nothing but the ships stores being laid in. The ships stores were very good, better than those laid in for the cabin and used by him and others. While at New Orleans, he received advice from counsel several times on a variety of points relative to the serving of the subpoenas. General Wilkinson advised him to consult the judge or the at- torney general; he went to the judge and the judge was asked whether it was legal to ad- vance the money to witnesses. The judge approved of it, and the general gave orders for the money.
Mr. Graham deposed, that some short time after the arrival of Mr. Gaines, he was told by the governor that Gaines had a subpoena. The subpoena was soon afterwards served upon him. The governor told him a public vessel was prepared for the transportation of the witnesses. He waited on general Wilkinson to know, whether he could get a passage in the vessel. Wilkinson informed him, that several witness- es in New Orleans, part of colonel Burr's company were unwilling; others were will- ing; asked whether any legal process could be obtained to compel the unwilling witnesses to come—answered that he did not, but refer- red him to the federal judge, and knows the bad terms between the general and judge, waited on the judge at the request of general Wilkinson, witness knows nothing, but about that time when at the judge's, he saw Knox in company with a Mr. Keene, a lawyer, who had been with the judge a very few minutes. The judge asked Knox whether he was pre- pared to give a recognizance with security, or to answer such questions as might be asked him. He stated the same thing to a Mr. Fort pointed out the law of the case and men- tioned his reluctance to act against them. Both of them, particularly Capt. Fort, wish- ed to see the questions. The judge handed a printed paper. Fort said he was not bound to answer and the judge might do what he tho't proper.
The judge sent for the marshal, and Fort and Knox were committed. In the afternoon Fort gave security in five hundred dollars and was released—Understood that Fort was to take his passage in a vessel to New-York, but does not believe he left New Orleans, as he said his business would suffer very much.
The judge said it would be right to advance money to the witnesses. The judge and Mr. Keene both requested the witness to request Mr. Gaines to remove Mr. Knox from the prison to the vessel.
Wednesday June 24. The court was opened about one quarter after 11 Benjamin La Trobe was called and sworn and then sent to the grand jury. Mr. Graham was called by Mr. M'Rae, and questioned relative to the public mind at New Orleans. Did not arrive at New Orleans until the month of March. The
public mind was then much agitated.— When questioned by col. Burr, there was a considerable portion of the people in New Orleans who believed there was another portion unfriendly to the government.— Does not know what measures were pursued by the executive at N. Orleans.
Mr. Hay opposed the witness answering these questions.
Col. Burr shewed the propriety of the witness answering.
The court were of opinion the witness had only a right to answer such questions as bore upon the subject before them.
Mr. Graham does not recollect that ge- neral Wilkinson informed him particularly how letters of information were received by him, only he observed the letter party in cypher and Dutch he received from a house in New Orleans. The practice of opening letters if such a practice prevailed had ceased when he arrived at N. Orleans. General Wilkinson shewed him three or four letters. Does not know how these letters had been taken from the post office; but there was an impression on his mind that letters were improperly taken from the post offices. He heard there were guards placed at two points near New Orleans for the purpose of arresting suspicious persons.—Heard also that some papers had been seized. Gen. W. did not inform the wit- ness how he obtained these letters.
John Milligan, called.
Captain Murray, called and sworn.
Captain Murray questioned by col. Burr deposed. He was stationed at Villa Grove two miles above New Orleans. His orders from governor Claiborne was to stop boats and examine them; to examine papers. He should have transmitted any letters ad- dressed to col. Burr or suspected persons to the executive at New Orleans. The orders from governor Claiborne originated through gen. W. The orders came always thro' gen. W.

A Report of the Trial of Thomas Oliver Selfridge, Esq.
On an indictment for Manslaughter, for kil- ling Mr. Charles Austin, on the Public Ex- change, in Boston Aug. 4, 1806
THE lively interest which this extraordi- nary occurrence had excited in the public mind, called for a full and impartial statement of facts, both in the development of the tes- timony, and the pleadings which took place at the trial. This injunction appears to have been fulfilled in the present publication, as it comes from the press, sanctioned by the offi- cial reporter of the state, and under the su- pervision of the court itself. The public are therefore presented with all the documents necessary to form a correct understanding of the subject as well in relation to the unhappy catastrophe, as to the course of operation of the laws, in cases of this nature.
At the same time might be added, A Correct Statement of the whole Prelimi- nary Controversy, between Thomas Oliver Selfridge, and Benjamin Austin, (father of the deceased C. Austin.)
By Thomas Oliver Selfridge. "He takes my life, When he doth take the means whereby I live."
This pamphlet embraces a variety of ma- ter, immediately relevant to the unhappy oc- currence, which deprived Mr. Charles Aus- tin of life; in which the author, in relating his conduct in this extraordinary affair, is drawn into a retrospection of the general character of Benjamin Austin. In adopting this mode, Mr. Selfridge has given loose to a bold- ness of asperity, seldom found in the writings of our best authors, and which reflect great credit on his genius and learning.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
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 formed symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia
From 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 in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts, I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
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, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic 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 like 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 perfectly 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 attends 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 Ewbank, 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 undoubted 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 five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in 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 skins 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, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
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 place 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, Spasms, 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
other warm climate, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease 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 Dobbin 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.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. 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 Dobbin 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.
