INDIAN OCCURRENCES.
On the 29th May last, some Indians came to a new settlement (between the Big Miami and Mad-river, on the head of Lost creek, in the 11th range) made by two men named William Morgan and Bowyer, and shot, tomahawked and scalped Bowyer, Morgan not being at home. On the report of which, there were men dispatched to the different nations, informing them of the murder, and alledging that the chiefs had better come in and confer with the whites, in order that the most effectual steps might be taken to find out the guilty and bring them to justice. Accordingly some of the chiefs and others of five nations met the whites on the third of June—but either from native bashfulness, or other embarrassments in the Indian speaker (who was a Wyandot) little or no satisfaction was rendered to the whites, some of whom, either by taking Indian figures for realities, or from other causes, went away, under the impression that the Indians had avowed the fact, and from tokens left on the dead man, supposed they meant to repeat the mischief; on the report of which a great confusion took place among the inhabitants of that part of the country, who were with considerable difficulty prevented from moving off. In the mean time the Shawnee chiefs being sensible that the speaker had not done justice to their good intentions toward the whites, requested another conference with them, which was granted, at which the Indians brought forward a copy of the treaty made at Greenville, with a number of letters and speeches sent by the president and others, and shewed a sense of the duty enjoined on them by those documents, and their determination to fulfil them, and as a convincing proof called on the whites who had visited them, to say whether they had not found them hard at labor, making and planting extensive fields and other improvements, such as had been recommended by (as they said, their great father) the president, in his letters to them, which, said they, we certainly would not have been doing if we intended a breach with our white brothers, and in relating facts, strengthened a suspicion which had been fixed on one or more of some Indians that had hunted last winter at the place, and on being told of the probability of its being some of the party, they declared they would do their utmost to find the guilty persons and bring them to justice; on which, from the solemnity of their declaration and the apparent sincerity of their looks, the alarm has subsided, and the people have chiefly returned to their plantations and occupations.
The reasons of a suspicion being fixed on that party of Indians are that it appears they had taken umbrage at one or both the men on account of some injury they supposed they had done them, but what it was not clearly understood or known. But the chiefs seem very sensible that private retaliation, even when real injuries are done is a very unwarrantable mode of proceeding, and promise to do every thing in their power to suppress it, and beg of the whites (who possess more knowledge and power) to do the same.
A number of the facts and circumstances related in the above statement, we know to be true and the rest we believe to be so.
BENJAMIN WHITEMAN, WILLIAM WARD.
June 8, 1807.
Capt. William Moore relates the circumstances of the murder of Bowyer to Francis Dechicat, who by interpretation relates the same to chief Black Hoof, who in a harangue informs the Indians in general of the same—his gestures and manner of delivery denote him in my opinion to be no mean orator: his countenance is plain, but commanding of attention and respect. The Indians in general express themselves to be sorry for the death of the white man, calling us brothers.
Brothers we hear with sorrow the death of some of our own people; we feel for you and ourselves. The Kickapoo have killed one of us near Kaskaskia; four of our people have returned from thence with a pipe of friendship and a large belt of white wampum, from the Kickapoo, who were themselves sorry for the accident done by young men in their folly, and wishing to heal the wound made between the two nations, the queen also sent four strings of wampum, expressing the same as the other. This Shawnee was killed for a Kickapoo who had died a natural death, being alone in the woods.
Now brothers see we suffer the same wrongs that you do. We have heard in our own house how you have been treated; we judge your sorrow by our own; you see brothers how things are, we feel sorry in our hearts, you our white brothers may rely on our endeavors to find out the bad men that they may be punished; we will use all possible means to accomplish the same, desiring you in the most friendly manner, to use every diligence to the same purpose, since you have more power than we have, you can do more. Brothers we have seen the things which these bad men left on our dead white brother; we think them to be some of the northern back nations, since there is no birch bark grows in our country, neither is there ever any in use among us; the rattles and sticks we never use, but the Chipaways and other northern nations do; the hair is from an old scalp signifying that we have killed some of you before and will kill more yet; the whole was left to let you know who did the murder. Brothers we are sorry, and beg of you to believe us innocent. We have been to see our great father Jefferson; we have heard his words and put them in our hearts—we have made the golden chain of friendship strong between us; we fear that some of your young men thro' wanton folly or mistake, may murder some of us innocently, but this we hope, through your care, will be avoided; we wish to pass amongst our white brothers in safety, as we have been used to do, since on our part we have given not the least cause of offence. We are working hard to gain plenty, it is all that we employ ourselves at, at this time, wishing to live as our white brothers do, thinking it best.
Brothers this is all we can say at this time, you request two of our chiefs to meet you and the Wyandot chiefs at captain McPherson's three days hence, which we will comply with, and bring our interpreter.
Done in the council house, at upper Oglase, where the chiefs were present and all their young men.
MAY 30, 1807.
Interrogation of a man late from Greenville.
Says he heard no news of the Chipaways going to kill the white people; that the northern Indians are all gone but five men and some women—he says he never frequented their councils, they being more secret than the Shawanees. He says that some Chipaways came to his camp and said they were displeased with the whites, they having taken all their lands, they now have none.
A true sentiment as interpreted by Mr. Francis Dechicat.
JAMES ROBINSON.
Present, Capt. Moore. } Capt. McPherson. }
Since the above, a speech by general Roundhead, the head chief of the Wyandot nation, has been forwarded to general Whiteman, in which Roundhead requests the general to meet them at Greenville, where he will put his finger on the breast of the Indian who murdered Bowyer.—He says it was captain Black Hoof, one of the chiefs of the Shawanee nation, that he is a bad man and has done much mischief.
A friendly disposition appears to be evinced by the Indian chiefs and the anxiety they express in endeavoring to detect the perpetrator of the crime, that justice may be executed, we hope will cause the fears of the people to subside.
BOSTON, July 6.
By an arrival at New Bedford, from England, we have received a London weekly paper of May 24, from which we are enabled to make the following selections:—It does not appear, by any official statements, that the war had been renewed in Poland; but the reports which reach us from almost every quarter, seem to strengthen an opinion that it has been recommenced with dreadful slaughter. The article, under the London head of May 24, on this subject, may be considered to bear a continental date very little distant in time from those brought to Providence by the Hazard. It is, however, more particular and satisfactory. The late rumors of peace appear to have given way to other expectations which involve, not only a sanguinary warfare in Poland, and along the northern maritime coast, but throughout the whole extent of the Turkish empire. This extension of the war may be considered as resulting from the ill success of the expedition against the Porte; since it has given to the French a complete controul over the civil and military operations of that power.
LONDON, May 24.
Rumors of a great Battle in Poland. A general battle is rumoured to have at
length been fought—At a late hour on Friday evening it was reported that the Russians and Prussians had made a general attack upon the French army—Others alledge that the attack was begun by the French.
The Russians and Prussians amounted to 185,000, of whom 160,000 were Russians.—The French force was near 200,000.—But the Russians had a reserve in Lithuania of 40,000 men more—The battle is rumored to have been of the most furious and obstinate nature. It terminated much in the same way as the battle of Eylau—without any decisive advantages gained by the French—Thirty thousand men are said to have been killed and wounded on both sides.
Yesterday morning we received letters from the coast, which state that a heavy firing was heard, on Thursday night, in the direction of Calais, supposed to have been rejoicings for some victory. The French, of course, if the result were as we have stated it above, indecisive, and if they had nothing more to boast of than they had at Eylau, would claim the victory, and order rejoicings to take place and Te Deum to be celebrated. The conscripts must be indulged at all events. But if the consequence of the battle was neither the surrender of Dantzic, nor the capture of Koningsberg, the French have little to boast of. The battle is stated to have begun on the 6th. The emperor Alexander, the king of Prussia, and Bonaparte, headed their respective armies.
An American vessel from Rotterdam is arrived off Dover, which landed an over-sea pilot belonging to that place, who states, that at the time he sailed, a report had reached Rotterdam of a battle having been fought in Poland, which lasted three days, and ended in the total defeat of the French. The emperor of Russia and king of Prussia were personally engaged. Similar accounts are said to have prevailed at Flushing.
Such are the rumors which have reached us—No accounts of any battle have been officially received by government.
BERLIN, May 9.
Up to the 4th, nothing had occurred between either of the armies. The enemy's preparations indicate that he will direct his grand attack along the coast, as, in case of succeeding, he will be in a better situation for relieving Dantzic, and also for receiving support from the shipping of England, Russia and Sweden. Besides the three frigates at Koningsberg, intended for taking troops on board, several thousand Russians have been embarked at Pilaus, in order to be landed upon the Frisch Nerung, near Dantzic.
By land, the advanced posts of the Russians and Prussians are extended in the front of Braunberg and Mehlsack. The French advanced posts on the left side are at Frauenberg, Mulhausen, and Wormsditt. The latter place is occupied by eight thousand of the marshal prince of Ponte Corvo's corps. Within the circuit of six leagues, about thirty thousand men are encamped; and, in fact the whole army is in such a position as to be ready for a general action in a few hours. About the end of last month, couriers were dispatched from the head quarters to all the reinforcements on their march, to hasten their approach with all possible speed.
DRESDEN, May 5.
The last letters from Vienna mention, that considerable wagers have been laid in the first societies, that the preliminaries of a general peace will be signed before the 1st of July.
The Turkish army has been wholly reorganized, and every corps of a thousand men has a French officer, subordinate only to the commander in chief. Whilst these arrangements are proceeding in the Turkish empire, the French emissaries are stated to be equally busy in every part of the dependent provinces. It is reported, upon good authority, that all the Barbary powers have declared against us, and that the Mediterranean already swarms with their corsairs. This is of serious consequence to the merchants of the Levant trade. We believe indeed that the greater part of this trade has been long extinguished, and that what remains is rather to be considered as of private than of national concern. But the hostility of these petty powers is not the less vexatious. Their ships are not confined to the Mediterranean. The Americans suffered so much from them that they deemed it prudent to purchase an ignominious truce. The French are well aware of this, and their intrigues have long been directed to stir up these privileged robbers against the British commerce.
Mr. Arbuthnot and admiral Duskworth are on their return Home. Sir Sidney Smith is to remain off the mouth of the Dardanelles.
Lower Elbe, May 13.
Contrary to all expectations we are still without certain intelligence concerning the events which in all probability have already taken place in the north. One thing is certain that Dantzic is the point of attack and defence. The papers pressed into the service of France tells us, that the siege of that city is carried on with vigor; they inform us that the garrison makes perpetual sorties, and add of course that all these sorties are very unfortunate for the besieged; and they foretel the speedy surrender of the town. But these same accounts do not conceal the determination of the Prussians to defend the place to the last extremity: and the writers by their labored attempts to shew the probability of a speedy capture, betray rather their own sense of its importance than prove the probability of the event. The Altona Mercury of yesterday, relates in a second edition, that on the 29th ult. at night, the French made three attempts to take the place by storm, but in vain; after which an armistice of four hours was granted for burying the dead. It is said, that ships, which passed by on the 5th instant, heard a violent cannonade from the city. This last intelligence discredits a report which two days since had gained great ground, that the siege was raised. It was added that the Saxons had deserted to a man; that an attack was made by accord at the same instant from the garrison in the city, and the English frigates before it, upon the French works; and that after an obstinate contest, the enemy was forced to yield his positions, heavy artillery, &c. This account is still credited here, and the desertion of the Saxons is said to have been acknowledged by the French minister Bourienne.
In the mean while it is evident that Bonaparte seriously proposes to remedy the fault he has committed in the eyes of military men, by advancing so far into Poland, while Stralsund, Colberg, and Dantzic remain in the power of the enemy who has also the command of the sea. Every thing shews that he is resolved to act for a time on the defensive. He has taken a strong position in Prussia, by means of which he hopes to repel the attacks of the great Russian army, which lies before him; and he in the mean while orders the siege of the maritime fortress in the Baltic. Hence the waste of blood before Dantzic. In one night three ineffectual attempts to storm the fortress! Every one knows the immense loss which such an attempt causes, even when successful; but this is indifferent to a general, whose disregard for the lives of his men are beyond all precedent. After Bonaparte's famous first campaign in Italy, he was asked as to the expence. 'J'ai depense dix mille hommes par mois,' ('I spent 10,000 men every month,') he replied. It ought not to be forgotten, that he then commanded only Frenchmen. Now he has allies; and he will be subject to no slight embarrassment in the choice of his assailants. What troops for instance, were employed in the threefold attack on the 29th? If Germans, how naturally must the thought occur to them, "We are the chosen victims!" Such a suggestion would fly in every quarter of the grand army; and a defalcation, dreadful and decisive, might be the result.
But to come nearer home in my remarks. While the siege of Dantzic is carried on with fury, that of Colberg reposes for a moment, and attempts are insidiously made to disengage the king of Sweden from the coalition; but to no purpose. This monarch has renewed his treaties with the king of Prussia; all animosity between these two sovereigns is forgotten; and six thousand Prussians are on their passage to Stralsund, under generals Blucher and Tauenzien, while the diplomatic relations between the two courts are restored.
Here we see a monarch, who has already lost the greatest part of his states, and the remainder of which are actually attacked by the enemy, sending his best generals, with a considerable force, to defend the dominions of a sovereign but lately his adversary, when threatened by the common foe. An incident like this may allow us to hope, that the spirit of a generous and wise coalition is not yet every where extinct. Were every enemy of France to act thus, Europe might still be saved from impending bondage.
Sweden having been found incorruptible it is now deemed necessary to collect a large force on this frontier of Germany. On Sunday last, marshal Brune received, by a courier from Pinkenstein, the command of all the forces in Lower Saxony, which united with the troops coming from Italy, are to form an army of observation against

the Swedes and English and at the same time cover the operations of the grand army. The marshal was to set out from Hamburg this morning, on his way to Schwerin; and a part of the garrison has already left that city. A number of camps are to be established in Mecklenburgh and Pomerania.
I have endeavored to represent what is thought here to be the military plan of the enemy. This sketch, if not quite correct, is a rough outline of one of our journals, and the late events in Poland have restored the arts of war to its former credit. How much, how incalculably much, is gained if an enemy can be compelled to proceed cautiously and slowly, all of whose victories have hitherto been a series of coups de main . Surely, when Austria at length sees that the allies are able to hold France at bay its energy will revive once more. The transactions at the late diet at Hungary certainly entitle us to form the most lively hopes and expectations.
PHILADELPHIA, July 9.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By the ship Intrepid, captain Smith, arrived this morning from Bristol, we have received London papers, to the 22d of May. They contain several articles of general interest, which we shall occasionally insert. The following, from the Globe of May 21, will be perused with attention.
Sir Francis Burdett, continued highest on the poll at the Westminster election, and will no doubt be returned to parliament.
LONDON, May 21.
Lord Howick made a long and excellent speech at the nomination for the county of Northumberland, at Morpeth, on Thursday last, of which the following is an extract—Gentlemen, said his lordship "The late administration have been accused of inattention to the shipping interest of the country, (I wish now to be understood as addressing myself more particularly to the freeholders from New Castle and Shields) I should be very happy if any gentleman would come forward, and state in what manner the shipping interest has been neglected. I believe the American intercourse bill has given rise to complaints. Now it must be sufficiently known that our West India islands are in a great measure dependent upon America, for the articles of lumber and provisions. That previous to passing this bill the governors of the islands on their own responsibility constantly kept up an uninterrupted intercourse with America, to obtain such supplies as were necessary; and in return permitted the Americans to purchase and take away articles produced in the islands. Bills of indemnity to the governors, on account of this illicit, but necessary traffic, were every year applied for and passed in parliament. I submit, then, was it not better to legalize at once this intercourse with America, to vest a general power in the privy council for its regulation, than trust to the discretion of the West India governors individually for procuring such supplies as the islands might be in want of? Great complaints have also been excited against us on account of the treaty we lately negotiated with America, although it would surely have been time enough to complain when the terms of that treaty came before the public. The Americans have not, however, thought that the advantages were entirely in their favor, for it is probable the treaty will not be ratified by their government."
Gentlemen, the great and unfortunate changes which have been effected in the north of Europe, cannot but have operated severely upon your interests, and it has been impossible to afford you any adequate relief. Restrictions were imposed upon neutrals, which produced the strongest remonstrances from the governments of their respective countries. One of my late acts, while in office, was, to write a long letter to Denmark, in vindication of our measures in respect to neutrals, and I wish to God I could lay that letter before you to convince you how utterly unfounded have been your complaints that his majesty's late ministers were inimical to the shipping interests of the empire."
NORFOLK, July 8.
Our last noticed the correspondence between captain Douglass and the mayor of our borough. We now are enabled to present our readers with the following report made to the mayor, together with the 2nd letter of captain Douglass.
Norfolk, July 5, 1807.
Sir, IN pursuance of your request, I this day went down to the British squadron, lying in Hampton Roads, for the purpose
of delivering the letter with which I was charged to captain Douglass; on arriving along side his ship, the Bellona, I was invited on board, received by captain Douglass himself at the head of the gang-way, and conducted to his cabin, where I found assembled all the captains of the squadron—I immediately informed him that you had yesterday received a letter from him the answer to which I had been requested to deliver, and placed it in his hands. He read the letter very attentively, and then handed it to captain Hardy from whom it passed to the other captains in succession. When they had all perused it captain Douglass observed to me, "I presume sir, you are acquainted with the contents of this letter;" I told him I was perfectly so. He then stated that his letter must have been misapprehended, that it contained no expression of menace which he recollected, and that it certainly was not his intention to use language which could be construed to convey such ideas: he referred to captain Hardy saying, that he had shown him the letter previously to its being sent, and had requested his opinion as to its sentiments; captain Hardy concurred with captain Douglass in the opinion and objects of the communication—I then remarked to them the particular expression in the letter, which I considered as the language of threat and adverse to the circumstance of the words "immediately annulled," being underscored. He said that this underscoring must have been done by his clerk, without his direction, and had escaped his observation, but again assured me upon his honor, that if any expression in the letter wore the appearance of a threat, it was not intended to be so understood.
Captain Douglass next adverted to the conclusion of the letter, in which the alternative of peace or war is left to himself—he said upon this subject, that he had no orders to commit any act of hostility, and that there was no man from whose intention or wishes such an object was more remote. That he was anxious to preserve the relations of amity, which had existed between the two governments, and that no act of his should tend to interrupt their harmony, unless he was ordered by his superiors to perform such acts, in which case, as an officer, he must do his duty. He repeated, however, that he had at present no such orders, nor did he expect to receive such. He stated that he had it in charge generally, to guard his flag, and those under its protection from insult or assault of any kind, and that this, in all situations he must unquestionably do. But that any further measure he was not at present authorized, nor was it his intention to take. I here stated to him the many insulting menaces which had been communicated in Norfolk, as coming from him. He positively denied ever having uttered any such—declared if they had been used by any of his officers, that they were unauthorized, and disapproved of by him, remarking at the same time, that he hoped all who knew him, would do him the justice to believe, that he was not in the habit of using the language of threat: he here too again referred to all the officers to say, if they had ever heard him at any time, even when speaking confidentially to them, utter such expressions, and they united in declaring that they had not.
A desultory conversation then took place between captain Douglass, the other captains, and myself, which continued nearly an hour, in the course of which many remarks were made, which had no reference to the subject of your letter, or were in any way connected with it; these, sir, I have already communicated to yourself, and to all my fellow citizens, with whom I have conversed upon this subject; but as they are not connected with the subject of your letter, I presume it would be unnecessary again to detail them here. In the course of this conversation, I described to them as well as I was able the sentiments which universally prevailed through the country at this time, the cause from whence it proceeded, and the effects it would produce, provided any effort on their part should be made to oppose the public resolves, as to intercourse or supplies. I explicitly declared that we had as yet received no authority from our government to proceed to acts of aggression, but that we were authorised, and were prepared for defence, and for the protection of ourselves and our property; to prove which I placed in the hands of capt. Douglass an extract from the letter of gov. Cabell, to brigadier gen. Mathews, which I had made for that purpose: I concluded by warning him again not to send any of his officers or people on shore for that if he did, the arm of the civil authority, I did not believe, would be able to protect them from the
vengeance of an enraged people; that this might lead to consequences which might possibly be yet averted, and if he was sincere in the sentiments he had expressed, he would be anxious to prevent such results. Captain Douglass, and all the captains declared, that they were aware of the present state of the public feelings, and deplored the circumstance which had excited it; that they did not intend to expose any of their people to the resentment of ours, which they could conceive was highly inflamed; that as to the supplies they did not want any at present, but when they did, they should not attempt to procure them in any way which would excite the opposition of the citizens of this country.
Upon the subject of intercourse, he did not expect to hold any with the people of this country, nor was there any occasion for it. He only wished to be permitted freely to communicate with the accredited officers of his government here, who had been formally received and recognized by our executive, and whose functions he presumed none but the government had the right to put down. As to the particular manner in which this communication might be carried on, it was a matter quite indifferent to him. He had no objection to that being regulated by ourselves, in any way which is judged proper, and that he would certainly pursue the mode which might be suggested as most agreeable to us, provided the channel of communication was kept free and open. To this I stated, that I had no authority from any person to enter into any engagement with him, but that as an individual I would state, that the letters he had forwarded under cover to you had been safely delivered, and that therefore I presumed any other dispatches of a like kind would be treated in the same way—But upon this subject, I could only refer him to you and your associates for information. He then stated that he would to day write an answer to your letter, which he should forward as before, and I left his ship, captain Douglass again repeating the substance of what I have already stated.
From the moment I approached the Bellona to that on which I left her, my treatment from captain Douglass and all his officers, was marked by as much attention, politeness, and respect, as any gentleman ever received from others. My particular friend Mr. James Taylor, jun. accompanied me on board the British ship, for reasons that will at once suggest themselves to you, when you remember the delicate and embarrassing situation in which I might be placed. He remained on board the whole time with me, and was a witness to every thing which passed, I have read to him this communication, sir, in order to ascertain if my recollection was correct, and he accords with me in every statement here made.
I have forwarded a copy of this letter to the governor of Virginia, and to the Federal Executive, believing that at this time it is the duty of every citizen to keep his government well informed of every thing which may be useful.
I am respectfully, sir, Your most obedient servant, L. W. TAZEWELL. To RICHARD E. LEE, Esq. Mayor of the borough of Norfolk.
His Majesty's ship Bellona, Hampton Roads, 6th July, 1807.
Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th instant, in answer to mine of the preceding day, requesting that the British consul might be restored to his powers.
As every circumstance relative to the above communication was so fully discussed in presence of the gentlemen deputed by the magistracy of Norfolk, as bearers of your dispatch, I have only in addition to remark, that as far as I am individually concerned, every exertion shall be used that can, consistent with the honor and dignity of the British flag, tend to an amicable termination.
I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient humble serv't J. E. DOUGLAS. Richard E. Lee, Esq. Mayor of the borough of Norfolk, Virginia.

By a gentleman who left Norfolk on Friday last, we learn that two of the British squadron have left Hampton Roads and are now lying at Lynnhaven Bay.
Gen. Jonathan Dayton set out a few days since for Richmond in Virginia, in order to invite a trial as speedily as possible, upon the charges exhibited against him by the grand jury there. This prompt and voluntary submission, and his own unequivocal assurances, justify the conviction in the minds of his very numerous friends that his actions and motives have been entirely misunderstood, and that the result of his trial will wipe away every imputation.

On Monday 8th ult. a duel was fought by his excellency governor Claiborne, and the hon. Daniel Clarke our delegate in congress. They left the city last week & proceeded beyond the Iberville to the disputed territory. They met on Monday near Manchac Fort, and the first fire his excellency received his antagonist ball about the middle of the right thigh—He reached the city on Tuesday night, and is as well as could be expected. John W. Gurley, Esq. acted as friend to the governor, and Richard R. Kennon, Esq. to Mr. Clarke.

EXECUTIVE MEASURES.
We understand that the following arrangements have been decided in the cabinet at Washington, as necessary to meet the exigencies of the present crisis:
The immediate equipment of a national vessel to carry dispatches to our minister at the court of London: Congress to convene in the month of October: A call on the several states for their respective quotas of 100,000 infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to be held in state of preparation for field or garrison service.
The immediate repair of those fortifications on the sea board which may require it, and the erection of new defences where they may be deemed necessary.
The equipment of 30 gun boats.
These preparatory steps being taken the U. States, it is said, will suspend further proceedings until the determination of the British government is known, which may be expected about the time that congress assembles; when, we trust, the United spirit of the American people, will give effectual support to the decision of their government, whatever it may be unless the repeated outrage of the British marine banditti should in the intermediate time render vigorous offensive operations necessary.

A Report of the Trial of Thomas Oliver Selfridge, Esq. On an indictment for Manslaughter, for killing Mr. Charles Austin, on the Public Exchange, in Boston Aug. 4, 1806
THE lively interest which this extraordinary occurrence had excited in the public mind, called for a full and impartial statement of facts, both in the development of the testimony, 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 official reporter of the state, and under the supervision 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 and operation of the laws, in cases of this nature.
At the same place may be had, A Correct Statement of the whole Preliminary Controversy, between Thomas Oliver Selfridge, and Benjamin Austin, (father of the deceased C. Austin.)

This pamphlet embraces a variety of matter, immediately relevant to the unhappy occurrence, which deprived Mr. Charles Austin of life; in which the author, in vindicating 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 boldness 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 former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir. GEO. BENNER, jun. No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia
Mrs. H. Lee. 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 or 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. Molthier 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.

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 most 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, Glets, 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 climates, 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 affection, 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.
