The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl.

OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
Between the ministers of France and Austria, prior to the commencement of hostilities.

No. 9.
Note from count Metternich to count de Champagny.
PARIS, March 12, 1809.
The undersigned, ambassador of his majesty the emperor of Austria, yesterday received the note, which his excellency the minister for foreign affairs did him the honor to send him, dated the 10th of this month.
On the 31st of January last, his excellency the minister for foreign affairs, communicated to the undersigned a dispatch from his royal highness the vice-roy of Italy, containing complaints of two distinct points—the arrest of a man at Goritz, and the difficulty which a French officer experienced in remaining at Trieste. He the next day sent count de Mier to Vienna. The eagerness with which he communicated those complaints to the court of Vienna, furnishes a new evidence to the cabinet of the Thuilleries, of the constant desire of his august master, to maintain with his majesty the emperor of the French, the most amicable relations, and of his earnest wish to avoid by every means in his power, giving the slightest cause for interrupting the good understanding between the two courts.
A knowledge of the well-tried principles of the emperor his master, the fact no less certain that, since the treaty which was followed by the evacuation of Brannau, there existed no subject for dispute between the two powers, induced the undersigned confidentially to represent on many occasions, since the month of January last, to his excellency the minister for foreign affairs, the misstep at that time to the princes of the confederation of the Rhine, to hold their contingents ready for marching in a few days after a requisition for that purpose should be made. The undersigned strengthened his arguments, by remarks upon the great inquietude and uncertainty respecting their relations between the two courts created by the French newspapers, and by the German gazette's published in the state of the Rhenish confederation. On the 7th of January he had the honor to inform his excellency that on the 29th January, (the day on which a courier was dispatched to him from Vienna) no movement had been made in the Austrian empire, although the preparatory advice, relative to the measures to be taken by the confederation of the Rhine, issued by the emperor of the French, had come to the knowledge of his court. He repeated at the same time his own conviction, that the new measures taken in France and in Germany, and above all the march of French troops towards Bavaria, (a circumstance not foreseen at the time of departure of the courier) would end in determining the emperor to protect his people by taking some defensive measures.
Count de Mier returned to Paris, on the 1st of March. He brought an order to the undersigned ambassador of his majesty the emperor of Austria, to inform his excellency the minister for foreign affairs, that his imperial majesty, always anxious to maintain with the court of France the best relations, had instantly ordered an inquiry respecting all the objects which produced the mission of M. de Mier to Vienna. The ambassador will as early as possible inform M. de Champagny of the result of those enquiries.
In a conversation, which the undersigned had with the minister for foreign affairs, he did not conceal from him, that the apprehensions which at the close of the month of January, he had mentioned to him as to the effect which would be produced at Vienna by the arrangement in the Rhenish confederation, were already realized in part. When he added that the unaccountable information, which had just been received respecting the junction of considerable corps of French troops in Bavaria, and the march of other corps towards the middle of Germany and north of Italy, had induced his majesty to take several defensive measures; the undersigned gave a new evidence of confidence on his part, by expressing his re-
gret at seeing a state of things so opposite to the wishes of his august master succeed to such friendly relations as, since the evacuation of Brannau, had existed between the two states. If the return of M. de Mier had not been interrupted by the passage of French columns towards Bavaria, a delay respecting which the undersigned has before had the honor to express his regret, he might have transmitted one or two days earlier the official assurances of the only views and intentions which animate his august master towards his majesty the emperor of the French.
Whilst informing his excellency of his eagerness to transmit to his court, the note of the 10th March, the undersigned thinks it his duty, to confine within a narrow compass the first relations in which he will have any agency—he cannot but add that if his imperial majesty of Austria has, much against his wishes, seen in the movements that have taken place, since the month of January last, just cause of uneasiness, respecting the relations which he was anxious should exist between him and France, he has no other ambition on his side, than to see Europe enjoying the calm of peace, the first of blessings, and which he will ever be anxious to secure to his people.
The undersigned begs his excellency, the minister for foreign affairs, to accept the new assurances of his high consideration.
(Signed)
METTERNICH.
NO. IX.
Duplicate letter from his royal highness, prince Charles, of Austria, to the general in chief commanding the French army in Bavaria.
Head Quarters, April 9, 1809.
According to the declaration of his majesty, the emperor of Austria, to the emperor Napoleon, I inform the general in chief of the French army, that I have received orders to advance, with the troops under my command, and to treat as enemies all who shall resist.
(Signed)
CHARLES.
REMARKS.
The foregoing official papers, which his majesty directed to be communicated to the senate, comprehend the whole correspondence on affairs of a general nature, which has taken place between his majesty's minister, and the legation of the court of Vienna. The last but one which expresses, on the part of the Austrian court, a lively desire to see Europe enjoying the calm of peace, and the last, which is an actual declaration of war, presents a contrast that must strike every one. It should at the same time be remarked, that the series of the first eight papers, present a lapse of seven months, from August 3, 1808, to March 10, 1809, during which time it would appear that the communications between the two courts had ceased; but it is easy to explain this interruption of correspondence, rendered less necessary by the arrival of his majesty at Paris, the beginning of August, and by the return of his minister, who could resume from that time the course of verbal communications and conferences with the accredited minister near his majesty.
In that interval, events of great importance had taken place in Germany, and the communications between the two courts had successively presented themselves under a variety of aspects. These variations will be found detailed and confirmed, in some documents of a nature extremely important, and of which his majesty has also authorised the communication to the senate. It seems necessary, however, to present the summary of a verbal, and, as may be said public declaration of his majesty to the minister of the court of Vienna, at one of his diplomatic audiences:—a summary which his majesty's minister was ordered to make known by a circular to his ambassadors at foreign courts.
That communications will be followed and closed by a report which was presented to his majesty on the 2d March, and which will fully explain the constant but useless efforts, that were made during six months, to recall Austria to dispositions of confidence and to pacific measures, which she never would have deviated from, had she solely regarded her own true interests.
Turtle Dinner.
ON SATURDAY, the 29th instant, a fine GREEN TURTLE will be served up at the public table of the CITY HOTEL, cooked in all its varieties: where the gentlemen of the city and its neighborhood are invited to dine, at one dollar each. No gentleman to be subject to a charge for any thing but what he calls for.

FIFTH BULLETIN FROM THE FRENCH ARMY.
From the Imperial Camp at Enns, 4th May, 1809.
On the first of May general Oudinot, after having made 1400 prisoners, penetrated beyond Ried, where he took 400 more, so that he this day took 1500 men without firing a single gun.
The town of Brannau was a strong place of sufficient importance, since it commanded a river, which forms the frontier of Austria. In a spirit of inconsistency worthy this weak cabinet, it destroyed a fortress situated on a frontier where it might be of great utility, in order to build one at Commorn, in the midst of Germany.
The emperor arrived at Ried at one in the morning, and Lambach at one in the afternoon of the same day.
At Ried were found an establishment of eight sets of military ovens, and magazines containing 20,000 quintals of flour.
The bridge of Lambach, on the Traun, had been cut by the enemy; it was re-established during the day.
On the same day the duke of Istria, commanding the cavalry, and the duke of Montebello, with the corps of Oudinot, entered Wels. In this town were found a bakery, 12 or 15,000 quintals of flour, and magazines of wine and brandy.
The duke of Dantzic, who arrived the 30th of April at Saltzburgh, instantly ordered one brigade to march towards Kulstein, and another towards Rastadt, in the direction of the Italian roads. His advanced guard, pursuing gen. Jallachich, forced him from the strong post at Colling.
On the 1st of May the head-quarters of the duke of Rivoli were at Scherding. Adjutant gen. Trinqualye, commanding the advanced guard of the division of St. Cyr, met at Reida on the road to Neumark with the advanced guard of the enemy.—The Wurtemberg light-horse, the Baden dragoons, and three companies of Voltigeurs of the 4th regiment of the French line, as soon as they perceived the enemy, attacked him, and pursued him to Neumark. They killed 50 men, and took 500 prisoners.
The duke of Rivoli continued his march on the 2d, and arrived at Lintz on the 3d. The archduke Lewis and general Hiller, with the remains of their corps, reinforced by a reserve of grenadiers, and by all that the country could afford them, were before the Traun with 35,000 men; but menaced with being turned by the duke of Montebello, they proceeded to Ebersburgh, in order to pass the river.
On the 2d the duke of Istria and general Oudinot marched towards Ebersberg, and effected a junction with the duke of Rivoli. They met the Austrian rear-guard before Ebersberg. The intrepid battalions of the tirailleurs of the Po, and the Corsican tirailleurs, pursued the enemy, who was passing the bridge, drove into the river the cannon, waggons, and from 8 to 900 men, and took in the town from 3 to 4000 men, whom the enemy had left there for its defence.—General Claparede, whose advanced guard was these battalions, pursued them. He halted at Ebersberg, and found 30,000 Austrians occupying a superb position. The duke of Istria with his cavalry passed the bridge in order to support the division, and the duke of Rivoli ordered his advanced guard to be strengthened by the main body of the army. The remains of the corps of prince Lewis and general Hiller were lost without resource. In this extreme danger, the enemy set fire to the town, which was built of wood. The fire spread in an instant in every direction. The bridge was soon enveloped, and the flames seized the joists, which it was necessary to cut. Neither cavalry nor infantry were able to act; and the division of Claparede alone, with only four pieces of cannon, fought during three hours against 30,000 men. This battle of Ebersberg is one of the finest military occurrences, the memory of which can be preserved by history.
The enemy seeing the division of Claparede cut off without any communication, advanced three times against it, and was always received and stopped by the bayonet. At length after a labor of three hours, the flames were turned aside, and a passage opened. The general of division Legrand, with the 26th light infantry and the 18th of the line, marched towards the castle, which the enemy had occupied with 800 men. The sappers broke into the doors, and the flames having reached the castle, all who were within perished there. Gen. Legrand afterwards marched to the assistance of Claparede's division. General Durosnel, who
advanced to the right shore, with his horse, joined himself to him, and the enemy was obliged to retreat with great loss. On the first report of these events, the emperor had himself marched up the shore, with the divisions of Nansouty and Molitor.
The enemy, who retreated with the greatest rapidity, arrived at Enns, burnt the bridge and continued their flight on the road to Vienna. His force consists of 12,000 men, of which 7,000 are prisoners. We also possess four pieces of cannon and two standards.
Cohorn, general of brigade, an officer of singular intrepidity, had a horse killed under him. Colonels Cardenan and L... were killed.
A company of the Corsican battalions pursued the enemy in the woods, made 700 prisoners.
During the affair of Ebersberg, the division of Montebello arrived at Steyer, where they rebuilt the bridge which the enemy had cut.
The emperor sleeps to day at Enns, in the castle of prince Auersburg; to-morrow he will be spent in rebuilding the bridge.
The deputies of the state of Upper Austria were presented to his majesty at Bivouac at Ebersberg.
SIXTH BULLETIN FROM THE FRENCH ARMY.
ST. POLTEN, May 5.
The prince of Ponte Corvo, who commands the 6th corps, composed in a measure of the Saxon army, and which marched near the Bohemian frontier, spreading disquietude every where, caused the Saxon general Gutschmidt to march to Egra. This general has been received by the inhabitants, whom he ordered to dismiss the landwehr. On the 6th, the head quarters of the prince of Ponte Corvo were at Ratz, between Bohemia and Ratisbon.
One Schill, a sort of robber, who covered with crimes during the last campaign of Prussia, and who had obtained the rank of colonel, has deserted with his whole regiment, and repaired to Wittenberg, on the Saxon frontier. He has environed that town. Gen. Leszczynski issued a proclamation against him as a deserter. This ridiculous movement was concerted with the party which wished to fire and blood through Germany.
His majesty has ordered the formation of a corps of observation of the Elbe, which will be commanded by the duke of W... and composed of 60,000 men. The advanced guard is ordered to proceed to Wittenberg.
The duke of Montebello crossed the Enns at Steyer on the 4th, and arrived at Amstetten, where he met the enemy's advanced guard. Colbert, general of brigade, caused the 20th regiment of chasseurs to charge a regiment of Uhlans of whom 500 were taken. The colonel, Lauriston, 18 years of age, and who only months ago was a page, after a single combat, vanquished the commander of the Uhlans, and took him prisoner. His majesty has granted him the decoration of the Legion of Honor.
On the 6th, the duke of Montebello arrived at Molck, the duke of Rivoli at Amstetten, and the duke of Auersberg at Lintz.
The remains of the corps of the archduke Lewis and general Hiller quitted Amstetten the 7th. Two thirds passed the Danube at Crens; they were pursued to Mautern where the bridge was found broken; the other third took the direction of Vienna.
On the 8th, the head quarters of the emperor were at St. Polten.
The head quarters of the duke of Montebello is to day at Sigartskirchen.
The duke of Dantzic is marching from Salzburg to Innsbruck, in order to attack in the rear the detachments which the enemy has still in the Tyrol, and which trouble the frontiers of Bavaria.
In the cellars of the Abbey of Melk were found several thousand bottles of wine, which are very useful for the army. It will not till beyond Molck that the wine country begins.
It follows from the accounts delivered that the army has found, since the passage of the Inn, in the different magazines of the enemy 40,000 quintals, 40,000 rations of biscuit, and some hundred thousand rations of bread. Austria had formed magazines in order to march forward. They have been of great use to us.
SEVENTH BULLETIN FROM THE FRENCH ARMY.
VIENNA, May 10.
On the 10th at nine of the morning, the emperor appeared before the gates of Vienna, with the corps of marshal duke of...

It was at the same hour, on the same day, and exactly one month after the Austrian army had passed the Inn, and the Emperor Francis II. had rendered himself guilty of a perjury, the signal of his ruin. On the 5th of May, the Archduke Maximilian, brother of the empress, a young prince, 26 years of age, presumptuous, and without experience, of an ardent character, assumed the government of Vienna, and issued the annexed proclamations, No. 1, and No. 2.  It was generally reported in the country that all the entrenchments which surround the capital were fortified, that redoubts had been raised, that entrenched camps had been formed, and that the city was determined to defend itself. The emperor had difficulty to believe, that a capital, so generously treated by the French army in 1805, and the good sense and wisdom of whose inhabitants are acknowledged, would be so fanatical as to resolve upon so mad an enterprise. He experienced, therefore, a sweet satisfaction when, on approaching the immense suburbs of Vienna, he saw a numerous population of women, children, and old men, run forward to meet the French army, and receive our soldiers as friends.  Gen. Couroux traversed the suburbs, and Gen. Tharreau repaired to the esplanade which separates them from the city. At the instant he reached it, he was received by a discharge of musketry and cannon, and was slightly wounded.  Of 300,000 inhabitants who compose the population of Vienna, the city, properly so called, which is surrounded by a bastion and a counterscarp scarcely contains 80,000 inhabitants and 1300 houses. The 8 quarters of the town, which have retained the name of suburbs, and are separated from the city by entrenchments inclose more than 5000 houses and are inhabited by more than 220,000 who draw their subsistence from the city, where are markets and shops.  The archduke Maximilian had caused registers to be opened for collecting the names of the inhabitants who were willing to defend themselves. Thirty individuals only inscribed their names all the others refused with indignation. Defeated in his hopes by the good sense of the people of Vienna, he collected 10 battalions of the militia ( Landwehr ) and ten battalions of the line, composing a force of from 15 to 16,000 men and threw himself within the place.  The duke of Montebello sent him an aid de camp with a summons; but some butchers, and a few hundred fellows, satellites of the archduke Maximilian, rushed upon the Parliamentary and one of them wounded him. The archduke ordered the wretch who had committed this infamous action to be led in triumph through the city, mounted on the horse of the French officer and surrounded by the militia.  After this unheard of violation of the rights of nations, the horrid spectacle was seen of one part of the city drawing upon the other part, and citizens directing their arms against their fellow citizens.  Gen. Andreosy, appointed governor of the city, organised in each suburb a municipality, a central committee of provisions and a national guard, consisting of merchants, manufacturers and the good citizens of every class, armed to repress proprietors, and evil disposed persons. ( pour contenir les propriétaires et les mauvais sujets )  The gov. gen. caused a deputation of the 8 suburbs to repair to Schonnbrunn. The emperor charged them to proceed to the city in order to carry the annexed letter (No. 3) written by maj. gen. the prince of Neufchatel to the archduke Maximilian. He recommended the deputies to represent to the archduke, that if he continued to fire upon the suburbs, and if a single one of the inhabitants lost his life through his arms, this act of frenzy, this crime against the people, would forever break the bonds which attach subjects to their sovereigns.  The deputation entered the city on the 11th at ten of the forenoon, and their arrival was marked only by the redoubled fire from the rampart, 15 inhabitants of the suburbs perished, and only 2 Frenchmen were killed.  The patience of the emperor was wearied out. He proceeded with the duke of Rivoli to the arm of the Danube which separates the Prater (the fashionable promenade of Vienna) and ordered two companies of Voltigeurs to occupy a small pavilion on the left bank, in order to cover the raising of a bridge. The battalion of grenadiers which defended the passage, was driven back by the Voltigeurs and by the grape-shot of 15 pieces of artillery. At 8 of the evening the pavilion was occupied, and the materials of the bridge collected. Capt. Portales, aide-de-camp of the prince of Neufchatel and Suseldi, aide-de-camp of general Berthier, were among the first to swim across the river in order to collect the boats on the opposite shore.  At 9 of the evening a battery of 29 obus-
ses, raised by generals Bertrand and Navalet, at 100 fathoms from the place, began the bombardment; 1800 obusses were shot in less than four hours, and soon the whole appeared to be in flames. One must have seen Vienna, its houses of eight or nine stories, its narrow streets and numerous population within so narrow a compass, in order to form an idea of the tumult, disorder and disasters which such an operation could not but occasion.  The archduke Maximilian had, at one in the morning, caused two battalions to march in close column, in order to attempt retaking the pavilion, which covered the raising of the bridge. The two companies of voltigeurs received them with a discharge of musketry, which, with the 15 pieces of artillery from the right side, destroyed a part of the column, and forced them to fly in great disorder.  The archduke lost all presence of mind in the midst of the bombardment, and especially at the moment when he heard we had crossed an arm of the Danube, and were on the march to cut off his retreat. As feeble and weak as he had been rash and arrogant, he was the first to fly and recross the bridge. The respectable general O'Reilly learnt only by the flight of the archduke, that he was invested with the command.  Day-break on the 12th announced to the advanced guard that the firing would cease, and that a deputation was about to be sent to the emperor.  This deputation was presented to his majesty in the park of Schoenbrunn. His majesty assured the deputies of his protection. He expressed the pain which the inhuman conduct of their sovereign had given him, who had not feared to deliver up his capital to all the calamities of war—who, himself striking a blow at his rights, instead of being the king and father of his subjects had evinced himself their enemy and tyrant. His majesty assured them that Vienna should be treated with the same indulgence and valor which had been displayed in 1805. The deputation answered this assurance by expressions of the most lively gratitude.  At nine of the morning the duke of Rivoli, with the divisions St. Cyr and Boallet, took possession of the Leopoldstadt.  During this time, lieutenant general O'Reilly sent lieutenant general de Vaux and colonel Bellone to treat for the capitulation of the place. The annexed capitulation, was signed in the evening, and on the 13th, at 6 of the morning, the grenadiers of Oudinot's corps took possession.  [Capitulation in our next.]
Alexandria Daily Gazette.  SATURDAY, JULY 29.  The British Packet Windsor Castle, capt. Sutton, from Falmouth, via Halifax, arrived at New York on Tuesday last.  By the Packet the editors of the N. York Gazette have received the London Traveler of the evening of the 12th June, from which they have copied the following articles. As the mail was not assorted last evening we are unable to give a regular detail of political and marine information from the London papers and Lloyd's lists.  LONDON, June 12.  Dutch Gazettes to the 3th and Paris papers to the 4th inst. have reached us. The former communicate the death of the gallant Schill. He fell at the head of his brave followers, contending for glory and independence, in the heart of the city of Stralsund, of which it appears he had been in complete possession. Stralsund was attacked by the French gen. Gratien, whose report of the action is not very clear. The fate of the intrepid Schill was a circumstance too important to be passed over, but the conclusion of the affair is not noticed with precision; we are merely told that his troops were thrown into confusion.  The Moniteur contains a detail of the operations of the army of Italy, almost from the first reverses of the Austrians in that quarter of the capture of Trieste, and the junction of the army with that part of the French force in Germany commanded by gen. Lauriston. If we are to give implicit credit to this detail, the trophies gained by his son-in-law, Eugene Beauharnois, are not less brilliant than those of Bonaparte himself in his most successful campaigns. We are assured that the French army has in this extraordinary career of victory, taken 25,000 prisoners, 60 pieces of cannon, and 10 standards. Of the accomplishment of the object in view, no doubt, we think, can be entertained; but when we are gravely assured, that six hundred Austrians were taken by a lieutenant and twelve men, we are surely justified in considering these of-
ficial accounts very grossly exaggerated.  We have received Lisbon Gazettes to the 3d inst. The supreme junta of government in Spain has directed a decree confiscating all the property of the Spanish nobles and other persons who had adhered to the French interest; ordering also that these persons therein named, should be arrested and carried before the tribunal of public welfare, to be tried and punished for high treason. The papers contain a correspondence between Marshal Berresford and the Portuguese general Mahy, announcing some partial actions between the latter with the French who were shut up in Lugo when Ney marched to the Asturias. The amount of the French force in Galicia is between six and 7000 men. In an action which took place in Ponte Neuvo, between Mina and Lugo, the French lost 3000 men in killed and wounded, besides 2000 Germans, who deserted, and came over in the Spanish army. Lugo had been recaptured, and 3000 prisoners taken. According to the accounts transmitted, the situation of marshal Ney is very precarious. There was every reason to suppose, from the aspect of affairs, that Galicia would be speedily cleared of the enemy. A French column of 3000 infantry and 300 horse had been completely routed near Santiago; the remains had fled for Corunna, abandoning the former place, which the Spanish troops entered on the 23d, finding considerable magazines of arms & ammunition therein. The marquis de la Romana was at Santiago. Vigo is occupied by his brother, with a force of 7000 men.  This morning arrived a mail from Cottenburg. The possession of Stralsund by the patriotic Schill is mentioned in terms of high satisfaction, but his unfortunate fate does not appear to have been known when the mail when the mail was sent off. The war continues with vigor between the Russians and the Swedes.  Price of Stocks—1 per cent. 83 3-8—5 per cents.—Omn. 3-4 prem.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, FOR COUGHS.
THE increasing reputation of Hamilton's Elixir, (which during the last nine years has become celebrated throughout the U. States,) warrants the assertion that it is the best remedy now in use for colds, obstinate coughs, asthmas and approaching consumptions. Experience has taught thousands, that the common opiates and balsamics, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms, that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects.
A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body and brings on the common healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs sheathes the acrimonious liquor which irritates them and finally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder the symptoms are effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicine which weakens the constitution and gives strength to the disorder, or the sake of moderating for the present some of its painful effects.
To parents who have children afflicted with the hooping cough, this discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Select Recommendations.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1806.
Mrs. H. Lee, widow of Richard Lee, jr. 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, but 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 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, junior,
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mr. Charles Myers, Hamstead-Hill, near Baltimore, had been a long time dangerously indisposed, and was reduced to the lowest state of weakness, inasmuch that his recovery appeared extremely doubtful. His complaints which seemed to be affections of the breast and lungs, and general debility, occasioned thereby, yielded little, but rather progressed under the treatment of several eminent physicians; when by the use of Hamilton's Elixir, his distressing cough was immediately alleviated, and every other symptom perfectly subdued. Four or five bottles entirely removed his complaints and restored him to an excellent state of health and strength, which he has for upwards of a year past, enjoyed without interruption.
From Luther Martin, esq. late attorney general of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever coughs, colds, 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.

First fill the barrel half full of your finer cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
