To the honorable the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, THE MEMORIAL
Of Samuel G. Ogden of the city of New York, merchant,
RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH, THAT your memorialist is under a criminal prosecution for an offence against the laws of the United States, of which if he is guilty he has been led into the error by the conduct of the officers of the executive government, who now intend bringing upon him the penalties of the law, to sacrifice his character, fortune and liberty, in expiation of their own errors, or to deprecate the vengeance of foreign governments, by offering him as a victim to their resentments.
Your memorialist is the owner of an armed ship called the Leander, which lately sailed from the port of New York under the command or direction of general Francisco de Miranda, to whom your memorialist chartered the said ship. Your memorialist in his mercantile capacity was an active agent in fitting and providing her for the voyage in which she sailed. And for his agency in this respect he now stands indicted. But your memorialist did not know that there was any law of the United States, which forbade him to act as he has done, in relation to the above mentioned ship, nor could he believe that his acts were criminal, when he was certain that the projects of general Miranda as connected with the expedition of an armament from the United States had not only been fully communicated to the president and to the secretary of state, but had received their applause and encouragement. When he knew also that the executive officers of the government of the United States, at the city of New York, had a full knowledge of the extraordinary equipments of the Leander, and when he found that no measures were taken to caution your memorialist or to check these preparations.
If the acts of your memorialist have been illegal, he cannot doubt but that the laws may be put in force against him. They may be instruments in the hands of that executive, who has rendered him obnoxious to the punishment they denounce. Yet as there must be in a free government some shelter in every case from injustice and oppression, your memorialist turns with confident hopes to the assembled representatives of a free people, and trusts, that if it shall appear to them, that one of their fellow citizens has been seduced into an error by the encouragement of the executive, that executive will not be suffered to prostitute its power by bringing on him punishment, when the guilt, if any there be, rests upon themselves.
Your memorialist has not only to complain of the injustice of causing him to be prosecuted as a criminal, but to represent to you the illegal manner of conducting that prosecution, by which the most sacred rights of a citizen have been violated, and the first principles of justice trampled under foot by a magistrate of the United States. That the case of your memorialist may be fully before your honorable body, he will proceed to give a candid history of all the facts which have relation to the offence of which he is accused.
Your memorialist was unacquainted with general Miranda till about the 23d of December last, when he returned from Washington. He then applied to your memorialist as the owner of the ship Leander, which he proposed to engage to transport him with some men, munition and implements of war, to a port in the Spanish territory in South America, at the same time inviting your memorialist to provide a variety of those articles, which his project required, and in order to induce your memorialist to embark in the enterprise, and to convince him that it had the approbation of the government of the United States, the following facts were disclosed to your memorialist and were corroborated by the representation of colonel William S. Smith, surveyor of the port of New York, and by the documents herein after mentioned.
General Miranda is a native of the province of Carracas, in South America, where he spent the earlier part of his life. The inhabitants of that country were represented as groaning under their dependence on a despotic government and anxious to throw off the yoke. Many of general Miranda's countrymen were also stated to have been long desirous of freeing themselves from their bondage, looking to him as their expected deliverer, and ready to receive & unite with him whenever he should bring to them a hope of success. It was further
suggested that general Miranda had long entertained a design of emancipating his native country which was disclosed to Mr. Jefferson and the design approved by him, so long ago as when Mr. Jefferson was minister at the court of France from the United States. That general Miranda had been for some years soliciting and expecting aid in his enterprise from Great Britain, but that at length finding his expectations of assistance from that quarter fallacious he had left that country and embarked for this, not with an intent to relinquish his design, but with the hope of finding here the means of success; that he had arrived in New York in the beginning of November last, bringing with him a very interesting and important letter to a gentleman of the first consequence in New York, which fully developed his designs, and stated that he had embarked for the United States, on the execution of the great plan, which he had for so many years meditated for the liberation of his country. That in utter despair of the British government taking any decisive step, he had at last determined to try what could be effected by such resources as America could furnish, and might be willing to afford him either as an enterprise sanctioned by public authority or undertaken by individual adventurers.
Your memorialist was well assured that this letter was about the latter end of November, communicated to the secretary of state and to the President of the United States; that after it had been some days in the hands of the secretary of state, the receipt of it was acknowledged by him; and that about the last of the same month, general Miranda proceeded to Washington, to communicate personally his plan to the government. That immediately after his arrival at Washington, general Miranda visited the secretary of state; that in his first interview he informed the secretary that he desired to make an important and confidential communication to the government as soon as the president should permit it to be received; that at a subsequent interview the secretary of state informed him that having consulted the president on the subject of their former conference, he was authorised to receive his communication; that general Miranda then opened to the secretary of state his object in coming to the United States, exposed the condition of the province of Carracas, the general discontent of its inhabitants, and the ease with which it might become independent, concluding by a request for the countenance and succor of the government. That at a subsequent interview the secretary of state informed general Miranda that he had communicated to the president what had passed in their preceding conference; that the president's sentiments could not be doubted, but that government could afford neither succor nor aid to the enterprise in which he was engaged. That upon this general Miranda remarked that without the countenance of government, individuals might be unwilling to assist him, and the secretary replied that the United States was a free country, where every one might do what the laws did not forbid. That general Miranda then observed that the bill depending for prohibiting the exportation of arms and ammunition might impede his measures, and the secretary answered that the bill might not become a law; that general Miranda informed the secretary that he had conferred with certain persons in New York respecting his views, and if government should privately make him a small advance of money he might, with the assistance of those persons, find the supplies he wanted; to which the secretary replied that the merchants would advance money whenever they became satisfied that they had an interest in doing so, and enquired what supplies he might want, and who were the persons with whom he had conferred; general Miranda answered that he wanted a few officers and privates, together with a quantity of arms and ammunition, and that he had conferred with commodore Lewis and colonel Smith, who had named your memorialist to general Miranda as the proprietor of vessels suitable to his views. Whereupon the secretary expressed himself favorably concerning the fitness of these persons named by general Miranda, adding in reference to your memorialist that it would be better than the St. Domingo trade, in which your memorialist had been some time engaged, and that colonel Smith was more qualified for military service than for the custom house, in consequence of which last observation, general Miranda then said that col. Smith would go with him, if he could have leave of absence; but the secretary replied that such permissions were unusual and could not be granted in this instance, and that the conference ended with an intimation on the
part of the secretary of state, that whatever might be done should be discreetly done, and with the understanding on the part of general Miranda, that though the government would not aid his enterprise, it met its approbation and encouragement, and that it would not be opposed; that general Miranda remained at Washington fourteen days and had several interviews with the president and secretary; in which time he wrote to colonel William S. Smith two letters, of which copies follow:
Washington, December 11, 1805. MY DEAR FRIEND, I have received your letters of the 1st and 6th of this month, and our commodore's of the 5th. The business you and him mention is on the tapis at this present moment, and will be concluded I hope in the course of this week. Not a moment is lost and the appearances look very favorable—have a little patience and you shall hear soon the result. I hope you will act on your side with as much activity, &c. My best compliments to the worthy admiral and to major A. They both shall hear from me as soon as any thing is decided; write to me here at Stelle's hotel and that will be sufficient, if the direction is Mt. Molini.
Yours, M—A. Col. Wm. S. Smith.
Washington, December 14, 1805. DEAR FRIEND, I saw yesterday for the second time both the gentlemen, and after talking fully on the subject, I think I brought the business to a conclusion. Yet Mr. M. upon hearing my determination of quitting this city to-morrow for New York, appeared surprised, and persuaded me not to leave it before Tuesday next, the 17th, when he expected me to dine with him, and a little more conversation I suppose. On consideration I thought that a stay three days longer might show calm and patience on my part, which would give to this step all the dignity I intended, though I am persuaded that no more will be obtained than what is already imparted. Their tacit approbation & good wishes are evidently secure. and they do not see any difficulty that may prevent the citizens of the United States in attending personally or sending supplies for this object, provided the public laws should not be openly violated. Your demand of permission or leave of absence is considered impracticable, and Mr. M. thinks easier to take the risk upon yourself at once; however we shall consider this subject with much reflection when we shall meet at N. York: On the 18th early I shall certainly leave this city for Philadelphia, from whence I will write to you again, and without much delay proceed to New York. In the mean time I request of you to have every thing ready for departure before the last day of December, and I beg of you to show to our worthy commodore as much as is necessary of this letter, not thinking prudent in me at this moment and on so delicate a subject to write any more; do the same with the major, and repeat to both my most sincere friendship and permanent esteem. When we meet you and they shall hear more on this subject, in the mean time act with much caution and great activity. Yours,
M— Your memorialist further respectfully represents, that the extraordinary equipment of the ship Leander, though made with some appearance of secrecy, was a matter of general conversation, and of great notoriety, in the city of New York, for a long time before she sailed. That several officers of the United States were acquainted with it; that in particular, it was well known to the collector of the port of New York, to whom a formal representation was made by an officer of high rank under the government of the state; and he collector was by him called upon to notice the fact; but the collector refused to do so, saying that it was not his official duty to notice the representation; that eleven days before the Leander sailed, on the 22d day of January last, general Miranda wrote to the president of the United States a letter, and a letter to the secretary of state, of which the following are translations.
New York, 22d Jan. 1806. MR. PRESIDENT, I HAVE the honor to send you enclosed, the natural and civil history of Chili, of which we conversed at Washington; you will perhaps find more interesting facts and greater knowledge in this little volume, than in those which have been before published on the same subject, concerning this beautiful country.
If ever the happy prediction which you have pronounced on the future destiny of our dear Columbia is to be accomplished in our day, may Providence grant that it may be under your auspices, and by the generous efforts of her own children. We shall then in some sort behold the revival of that age, the return of which the Roman bard invoked in favor of the human race:
The last great age foretold by sacred rhyme, Renews its finished course; Saturnian times Roll round again, and mighty years began From this first orb in radiant circles ran.
With the highest consideration and personal respect, I am, Mr. President, Your very humble And very obedient servant, (Signed) FRAN. DE MIRANDA. To Thomas Jefferson, esquire, President of the United States. (PRIVATE.)
New York, 22d Jan. 1806. Sir, ON the point of leaving the United States, allow me to address a few words to you, to thank you for the attentions that you were pleased to show me during my stay at Washington. The important concerns which I then had the honor to communicate to you, I doubt not, will remain a profound secret until the final result of that delicate affair; I have acted upon that supposition here by conforming in every thing to the intentions of the government, which I hope to have apprehended and observed with exactness and discretion. The enclosed letter contains a book which I have promised to the President of the United States, and which I pray you to transmit to him. Have the goodness to present my respectful compliments to Mrs. Madison, and to believe me with the highest consideration and esteem, Sir, Your very humble And obedient servant, (Signed) FRAN. DE MIRANDA. To the honorable James Madison, esquire. (To be continued.)
ALGIERS, February 22. A number of occurrences have taken place here again, which show very plainly, how much greater the influence of France is with our government, than that of England; and how much more agreeable the person of the French consul was here than that of the English. In the midst of the disturbances, which happened in this state Mr. Cartwright had succeeded either by cunning or by bribing the officers, to obtain some influence; particularly had he succeeded by these means with the Aga, but to his misfortune, this consequential person died shortly after, and at the very time, when the expectations and reports which he had spread respecting the renewal of the war on the continent, were entirely defeated by the occurrences in Germany. From that period his influence began to decline. The first instance of that he experienced already a few days before the death of his aforesaid protector, when at a divan to be held in the presence of the several consuls, Mr. Cartwright by appearing sooner at the appointed place, tried to snatch from the French consul the accustomed precedence. On the complaint of the French consul, whereby at the same time he laid open the whole conduct of the English towards the Turkish empire, the dey dissolved the divan, which had been convened to decide upon the complaints made against certain English cruizers, and without entering into any investigation thereof, took the severest measures against the same. A short time afterwards, the English consul, attempting to meddle like wise with the affairs of the government, and on the part of the dey, to attend only about those who were not attending some forbidden palace. At the least sent by him in a disgraceful manner, wherein he refused him; the flag staff, which was cut down, and finally to the French hesitated, accepting the circumstance which grace of the English and a Portuguese negotiation for the lives. The consul which was finally h consul—

English consul had tried to make himself master of, and on the appearance of the Portuguese ships conducted himself in such a manner, that the government began to suspect, that said consul had given information to the escadre of the expected arrival of three Algerine privateers with a rich Portuguese prize, valued at a million of piasters. This suspicion made such an impression upon the dey, that he caused Mr. Cartwright to be told to quit Algiers; Mr. Cartwright declaring in public that he was a spy, and unworthy of representing any government. In consequence whereof, and notwithstanding the endeavors made on the part of the English, the consul actually departed from here on board a sloop of war, which had come over from Gibraltar on purpose to fetch him.
LONDON, March 21. OF PEACE.
Bonaparte's proposal, supposing a proposal of a pacific nature to have been bro't over in the flag of truce, proceeds, we must believe, upon the principle avowed in his speech; that he is ready to negotiate upon the basis of the treaty of Amiens. Will not such an offer prove the apple of discord? Has Mr. Fox abandoned his admiration of that treaty? It is evident, from the arguments of his partisans, that he has neither relinquished his opinion that the war was unjust, nor that the rupture of the treaty of Amiens was impolitic. All their observations tend to shew that their sentiments remain unchanged; but that they look for a change in the principles of those who formerly opposed the peace of Amiens. When they say that the question no longer is now, whether in 1801, the peace of Amiens was a good peace to be made, but that under all the circumstances of this country and of Europe, are the measures most proper to be pursued; they mean, that those who did not think the peace of Amiens good in 1801, must think it good in 1806, the power of France having been so augmented since that period. But what has lord Grenville said, looking not only retrospectively but prospectively? He could not contemplate any situation of the country which could justify the making of such a treaty: not nine months are elapsed since he declared, "that the treaty of Amiens had sown the seeds of our present misfortunes in so prolific a soil, that it was impossible the most poisonous fruits should not have sprung from it. The treaty of Amiens had placed the country in such an unfortunate situation, that it was agreed on all hands, that nothing was left to rescue us from its evils but the recurrence of war. Will lord Grenville consent to recur to that treaty which was so productive of evils that nothing could relieve us from them but war? Will he throw away the antidote that he may preserve the bane? Will he abandon that which he declared to be the remedy, in order to repossess himself of that which he asserted to be the evil? "But circumstances," say the Foxites, "have changed; your objections might be very good in 1801, but see how affairs have altered in 1806. Look at the power of Bonaparte; how increased in size and stature!—how gigantic! Can you hope to diminish his authority upon the continent? Can you dispossess him of Naples, of Genoa, of Germany?" All this is extremely well on the part of France—it would be extremely well in any man arguing in favor of France and siding with Talleyrand. And this is what we complain of in the Foxites; they never see any thing but the power of Bonaparte—the gigantic, irresistible power of Bonaparte. We recollect that Mr. Fox said last year, in the committee of supply, on the 21st of June, exreating his majesty's ministers to propose reasonable terms of peace, "that he thought the criterion of what was reasonable could only be determined by putting ourselves in the place of the enemy, and to consider what Frenchmen would do. Let us argue not as Frenchmen, but as Englishmen. Let us stand in English shoes."
M. Talleyrand or the Foxites may contend that the position of Bonaparte, and his recent acquisitions, entitle him to demand the restoration of the peace of Amiens. Let us answer, that the position of Great Britain entitles her to reject such demands, for that our situation has been improved, and our power increased, since that treaty. Those who would have us restore the peace of Amiens, must be prepared to say, that the battle of Trafalgar, and the annihilation of the enemy's navy, are of no value, and that our great English hero has died in vain. We have been successful against the enemy whenever we have met them; and disgrace have attended their arms wherever they have ventured to contend with ours; we have shut
them out from the trade of the whole world, from the Adriatic to the Baltic; they are awed and defeated in every bay, port and creek: extension of continental power has added nothing to their means of annoying or attacking us, yet all those advantages are to be of no value. The acquisitions which the enemy have secured, not from us but from other powers, are to induce us to submit to the terms they demand of us, whilst the advantages we have obtained over them are not to give us any right to demand better terms than we have consented to accept before we had gained such advantages. We cannot drive the French from Genoa or Naples, and therefore we are to be willing to negotiate upon the basis of the stipulation of the treaty of Amiens: that is, to give up Malta, and consent to be shut out of the Mediterranean, thereby enabling the French to possess themselves not only of Malta but of Sicily.
If lord Grenville would not have submitted to make peace upon the terms of the treaty of Amiens, when all the continent has not made peace with France, will he consent to such terms now, when all the continent has not made peace with France, and when Russia our ally, has evinced a determined disposition to continue the war with France.

On the 20th ult. saw two English cutters, spoke one, and was informed they were then in chase of a Prussian vessel, and that for 15 days previous, they had sent in all the Prussians they met with.

THURSDAY, MAY 29.
A rumor was afloat yesterday, of intelligence having reached Baltimore, that his imperial and royal majesty of France and Italy, Bonaparte, had commanded the government of the United States to interdict all commerce between Great Britain and the said states. We do not know whether there are just grounds for such a report; but we are among those who think such a demand neither so distant nor improbable as some might imagine. If we look to the state of Europe, and observe with what promptitude the decrees of Bonaparte have been acquiesced in by powers greater in resources of men and means than we can pretend to, it would not be very unreasonable to expect it; nor could the ideas of a stretch of power so extraordinary be deemed either presumptuous or unwarrantable. Indeed the partial and impolitic proceedings of our national legislature cannot, in our judgment, fail to accelerate a demand so degrading and humiliating to our country. And while they evince to the world a disposition so hostile to G. Britain and so favorable to France, it is not improbable that the eagle eyed Bonaparte should overlook a conduct so suitable to his views, so necessary to his interests, and so ultimately connected with his vast designs. When such demand shall be made let the crimson of indignation cover the face of every American, or let the Declaration of Independence be blotted from the tablet of our memory, and the proud title of American be forgotten forever.

JAMES KENNEDY, SEN. KING-STREET, RESPECTFULLY informs the public that he has received, from LEB & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, New-York, a fresh assortment of the following Valuable Medicines, Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being far cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded could be purchased at a retail store.
TAKE NOTICE That J. Kennedy, Sen. is appointed the only agent for ALEXANDRIA. DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asth- mas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Con- sumptions. To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH, This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in tak- ing it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-Ge- neral of the state of Maryland. Gentlemen, 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 me- dicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensis and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN. Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very com- plicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy re-he and permanent cure of the various com- plaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent in- toxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskilful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases pecu- liar to females at certain period of life—bad living in, &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Violent cramps in the Consumptions, stomach and back, Lowness of spirits, Indigestion, Loss of appetite, Melancholy, Impurity of the blood, Gout in the stomach, Hysterical Affections, Pains in the limbs, Inward weaknesses, Relaxations, Seminal weaknesses, Involuntary emissions, Fluoribus (or whites) Obsolete gleet, Barrenness, Impotency, &c. &c. In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impover- ishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourish- ment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EX- TRACT OF MUSTARD, A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia. GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the prepa- rations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mus- tard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this let- ter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN. John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, be- Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily made oath as follows, namely, That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a apple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable me- dical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures perform- ed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various danger- ous complaints arising from worms, and from obstruc- tions or foulness in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, to commonly complained of as operating with vi- olence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this is
contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old. No worms exist in the body, but will, with out pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross hu- mors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints and the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known. Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terec or large round worm, the Alca- idres, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often ma- ny yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful and most difficult to cure. Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagree- able breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupt- ed gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Con- vulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep— Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vo- miting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unheal- thy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attend- ed with success in all complaints similar to those above described. A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the ne- cessary treatment in such cases. Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES— By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM. Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Har- ford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be con- ceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite was lost rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a- bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the pos- session of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mild- ness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of in- fants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania. Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accom- plish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very rest- less at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appear- ance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite re- sembled with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively com- plexion. Upon different occasions I have used this me- dicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, to often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this me- dicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most satisfactory means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant. JOHN MOLTHER.

Thirty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber this day, after having feloniously carried off, on the night of the 20th inst. a large trunk and chest of wearing apparel and other articles (which have since been recovered) a Mulatto servant slave, named MOSES, who calls himself Moses Gann. He is 45 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches high, tolerably well formed, has a concorde countenance, is very artful and villainous, and may impose himself as a freeman. He had on when he went off, a green cloth short coat with fellow metal buttons, a white striped Marseilles vest, olive colored corduroy breeches, white cot- ton stockings, and shoes; all his other clothes have been secured, but he may change those he wore away. He is however pretty generally known to be my slave, having lived in my fa- vice and travelled about with me for the last six teen years. I will pay the above reward to any person who will bring him home or secure him in any jail so that I get him again. Richard M. Scott.
