BALTIMORE, May 26.
Among a number of Hamburg German papers, with which we have been favored by a friend, we find one containing the sub-joined Russian account of the battle of Austerlitz. Though not partaking so much of the marvellous, nor so sprightly in its narrative, as the French bulletins, it is nevertheless not without interest, nor unworthy a perusal.
Translated for the Federal Gazette, from the Hamburg Correspondent of the 26th of March.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 4.
From the Court Gazette.
The general of infantry, Galenischtschew Kutusow, writes, in his report to his imperial majesty, as follows:
As your imperial majesty was present with the army when the battle took place at Austerlitz, on the 20th November, 1805, I thought it unnecessary to send your majesty an earlier account respecting the circumstances of that affair, as I intended, after the receipt of all the particulars, to transmit to your majesty a circumstantial relation. The continual movements, however, of the troops since that time, have not allowed me, till now, to collect all the circumstances. As soon as I have been possessed of all the details, I have hastened to transmit to your imperial majesty an account of the battle of Austerlitz.
In conformity with the arrangements which had been adopted for the defensive operation of our army, the advance-guard, under lieutenant general prince Bagration, marched on the 14th November, in three divisions, to Wischau, which was in possession of four regiments of the enemy's cavalry. One of the divisions proceeded on the main road, and the other two on each side of the first. The enemy, perceiving that general Bagration's intention was to surround Wischau, evacuated the place without hesitation. Four squadrons of hussars and two regiments of Cossacs were ordered to attack the enemy, who, notwithstanding they were of much superior force, and although the whole of their cavalry hastened to assist them, retreated with the greatest precipitation. They were closely pursued, and driven as far back as Rausnitz, where they received fresh reinforcements. When prince Ba-
gration, he posted them in military array on the heights: and by the impression of his artillery, silenced the batteries which had been thrown up against him. In the mean time, the enemy's garrison in Wischau opposed the march of the division which had taken the main road; in consequence of which, lieutenant general Bagration detached a battalion from the old regiment of chasseurs and the Pskowische regiment of musketeers, under the command of adjutant general prince Dolgorucki, with orders to carry the city. After some opposition, this was performed. 100 privates and 4 officers, who were found in it, were made prisoners.
In the evening, the sharpshooters, who had entrenched themselves in the town of Rausnitz, supported by the batteries, commenced a severe fire upon our left flank: the adjutant general Dolgorucki, however, dislodged them with two battalions of the Archangelgorod regiment of musketeers; and, notwithstanding a vigorous opposition, took possession of the place. The day following, the 15th November, the whole of the advance-guard took up their quarters near the town of Rausnitz. The loss of the enemy this day, in killed and wounded, was very considerable. Twenty-three officers and 500 privates were made prisoners. The loss on our side was very small, not having lost a single officer. The next day our army made a movement to the left of Wischau, and advanced towards the enemy, beyond Austerlitz. The French, finding it impossible to avoid an engagement, began to entrench themselves in their position, and on the night between the 19th and 20th, took possession of several of the villages through which we had to march.
The enemy having on the same night, in addition to the 80,000 men stationed on the field, received a reinforcement of 3 divisions, were double in number to ourselves, and lost no time in stationing the strength and flower of their army near Praz, where they expected our centre.
On the 20th November, at 7 A. M. we moved our positions from behind Austerlitz, the left commanded by the general of infantry, Buxhoden, and myself in the centre with the fourth column.
The first column, under the command of lieutenant general Domtutow, marched with the left flank from Augest, through Telnitz, in order that after taking possession of this village, it might move further
onward, and file off at the dykes on the right; while the cavalry of the field marshal general Kienmayer should, as soon as the before-mentioned column had passed the defile at Telnitz, march forward to Menitz and take a position between the above-mentioned defile and the dykes, in order to cover the rear of all the columns.
The second column, under the command of lieutenant general Langeron, marched with the left flank round the valley between Sokolnitz and Telnitz, to forage.
The third column, under the command of lieutenant general Prizibyschewsky, marched with the left wing close by the castle of Sokolnitz, where the van of the three columns, between Sokolnitz and the dyke on the left, pushed forward as far as the dyke of Nodolnitz.
The fourth column, under the command of the Austrian field marshal lieutenant general Collowrath, which marched with the left wing, had orders also to pass the before-mentioned place, and range itself in line with the other three columns.
The vans of the four columns thus formed an extensive front. The first column was directed to possess the Turas forest, and to make a decisive attack on the enemy's right wing; while the advance guard of lieutenant general prince Bagration, supported by cavalry, should advance its artillery to the heights lying between Dwaroschna and the Lescher inn, for the support of its cavalry, which was posted to the left of the inn. The same measures were to be observed with respect to the valley of Dwaroschna.
The whole of the cavalry was under the command of the lieutenant field marshal prince Lichtenstein.
The corps of his imperial highness the grand duke and Zessarewitsch ordered to take its position behind Brassowitsch and Krug; and the cavalry of the prince of Lichtenstein was directed to support the left wing of the advance guard of prince Bagration.
Pursuant to these arrangements, the first column descended into the valley, and about 8 o'clock in the morning marched through the village of Augest, forcing the enemy, after a severe conflict, to retreat to the village of Telnitz, where they posted their sharpshooters and a part of their infantry, but with the rest of their troops took up a
the 7th regiment of chasseurs was thereupon ordered to dislodge them; and a brigade was immediately sent to support them, who perceiving the enemy's line to be rapidly augmenting, charged it with the bayonet, and put it to rout. They endeavored to stop the fugitives, and, covering their flight with several regiments detached for the purpose, rallied them and brought them to order, when they attacked the Austrian front and overthrew it. The Newingermand regiment was in consequence thrown into confusion; but the general of infantry, count Buxhoden, instantly hastened up to it, restored it to order, and made it advance again upon the enemy. The action had now become general on every point of the line. It was in vain that the enemy supported his troops with fresh columns—in vain he redoubled his efforts; his multitudes were on all sides compelled to recoil before the prowess of the hardy Russian regiments. The French were a second time beaten, and put to rout. Our first column gained possession of the village of Telnitz and the defiles; beyond which was stationed, on a height, a battalion, with two pieces of artillery, to cover the left flank. The remainder, agreeably to the preconcentrated plan, proceeded for Turas, or the forest of Turas.
The retreating troops of the enemy having recovered from their disorder and being reinforced with fresh troops, threw themselves with impetuosity upon the first column; but were this time again completely defeated; so that this column, which strictly observed its orders, vigorously pursued the enemy which it had now for the third time put to flight.
The enemy not observing the danger which threatened his right wing, turned his whole attention to the centre of our line, against which, as already stated, the greater part of his force was directed. Colonel Monachin was detached from the 4th column, with two battalions of the regiments of Novgorod and Apscheron in order to take possession of the village lying in front of that column. They instantly proceeded to execute the order, but were unsuccessful, as they were attacked and defeated by a strong corps of the enemy which was posted in the village, and were at the same time beset by one less formidable, which penetrated as far as the left flank of the column. As soon as I perceived that the object of the enemy was to gain the heights on our back, and after cutting off our retreat to
attack us in the rear, I gave orders for the Austrian corps which stood behind the fourth column, to form a front on the left flank, and check the impetuosity of the assailants. This corps of reserve took the position pointed out, but retreated on the first fire of the enemy, and left the flank of the column entirely unprotected. The assailants instantly advanced upon our flank a second time, and with strong reinforcements made a vehement and desperate onset upon it, whilst the column had to contend with other troops opposed in front.
Nowithstanding, this 4th column, consisting of the regiments which had been thinned by the retreat from Brannau, and of all the weakest, it defended itself courageously, and for a long time maintained its position under a heavy fire. But the generals Berg and Repninsky being wounded, and their corps being without commanders, they were thrown into confusion, whereupon the rest of the column also began to give way. I now saw that the enemy's corps, which was four or five times the number of ours, was directed against our centre; and that in spite of the utmost efforts of our troops, they would ultimately break our lines and obtain the heights, which would enable them to attack the left wing in the rear. I repaired thither without loss of time to make the necessary arrangements to frustrate this object of the enemy. On ascending the height, I found the regiments of Panagorsky and Rachsky, of the 2d column, cut off. I rallied these regiments and ordered the major general count Kamensky, to occupy without loss of time the back of the mountain, on both sides of which the enemy were advancing. These regiments did great injury to the enemy, but were finally compelled to give way to superior force. They again halted at the foot of the mountain, and held their position in the face of the enemy till half past 3 o'clock. In the mean time, field marshal lieutenant general Prince of Lichtenstein, ordered general Essen with his cavalry, to attack that of the enemy, which, supported by some columns of infantry, indicated an intention of falling on the flank of the corps of his imperial highness the grand duke and Zessarewitsch. The orders of the prince of Lichtenstein were carried into complete execution. The enemy's cavalry could not with all its efforts and great disorder took to flight.
The Union regiment of his imperial highness were the first, at the commencement of the attack, to break through the lines of the enemy, pursuing the fugitives and carrying destruction before them. Their impetuosity, however, involved them in ruin in turn, for not content with the overthrow of the enemy, they continued to pursue the flying foe to the infantry columns themselves, where they were received with a discharge of grape from thirty or more cannon, by which they were thrown into confusion, and forced, with the loss of not a few men, to begin a retreat.
Convinced from these circumstances that the enemy were in every quarter superior to us in number, and had obtained the most advantageous positions, I judged it expedient to retreat, and without delay gave orders to that effect to all the columns. Consequently our 2d, 3d and 4th columns, as well as the regiments of Panagorsky and Rachsky retreated, and the enemy in the mean time took post upon the height, while his imperial highness the grand duke and Zessarewitsch, brought up to the attack his imperial majesty's guard under his command, to keep in check as much as possible, the impetuosity of the enemy. The intrepidity to which the guard made its onset upon the enemy, and the exemplary courageousness of all its officers threw them into confusion, and their disorder was completed by the use of the bayonet. By this our cavalry not only penetrated through their line of cavalry, but even into that of their infantry, among which they made great slaughter. The regiment of mounted body-guards took a standard from the enemy, which was severely contested. The whole guard in general, fought with that courage which befits a corps that has the good fortune to surround the person of his Imperial Majesty. However it too had to withdraw from the contest, since the whole army was now on the retreat. His Imperial highness in consequence, collected his troops and drew them off in the utmost order. The regiment of Chevalier guards contributed much to the handsome retreat of this corps; as it threw itself with great impetuosity upon the cavalry of the enemy just at the moment when it was about to attack the retreating corps of guards, thereby preventing the enemy from accomplishing his design. At this juncture I sent this corps a guide to conduct it to Auster-
litz, that it might take possession of the heights lying before that place.
The Lieutenant general Prince Bagration, although he had orders to maintain his position at Posorchnitz, until the general of infantry, count Buxhoden, had moved round the enemy's right wing, found it notwithstanding, impossible to execute them, for the enemy, with a formidable corps commenced an attack upon his left flank and on the cavalry under lieutenant general Uwarow, who had been stationed there for its support—On which lieutenant general Bagration was induced to come to the relief of the left flank with the whole of the advanced guard. He continued the combat without intermission, and did not retire until he had orders to join the guard at Austerlitz—such likewise was the case with the cavalry under lieutenant general Uwarow which though assaulted by a much greater corps of the enemy's cavalry, supported by columns of infantry, repelling them repeatedly, but were finally compelled to give ground to superior force, and to take a position on a height which they alone defended till late in the evening, whereby the retreat of the right wing of the division under prince Bagration was covered.
With this ended the action of the 20th November, in which the Russian troops, encouraged by the presence of his imperial majesty, gave fresh proofs of their invincible courage and unexampled intrepidity. They maintained their ranks till near midnight, in face of the enemy, which did not dare to renew the contest. They then agreeably to orders, marched off on the road to Hungary, to the village of Czernich, and the rear guard under the command of lieutenant general prince Bagration took post before the little town of Urschitz, where on the next day they had a skirmish with the enemy.
In the above engagement we lost the battering train and field pieces attached to the first and second columns. These columns had been conducted by unskillful Austrian guides, by roads almost impassable to artillery; a disaster which was increased by the breaking down of a bridge which they had to pass. Orders were therefore given to leave the ordnance behind.
The generals of our army who were wounded, were lieutenant general Essen, who also died of his wounds; major generals Saken, Desiderowitsch, Glinka, and the two Muhlens—the three last were made prisoners as were lieutenant generals Prizibyschewsky and Wimpfen, and the major generals Selezchov, Strick and the invalid Shiewiakov, who had left Wischau in his carriage, and had not been at all in the action.
Upon the whole, according to the most accurate account, our loss as well in killed as prisoners, does not amount to more than 12 thousand men. On the other hand, agreeably to every information which has been received, the loss of the enemy in killed and wounded amounts to about 18 thousand. This loss of the enemy is not doubtful; arising partly from their numerous ranks being every where exposed to our artillery, our musketry and our bayonets, and partly from their first column, and, on some points, their second also, being defeated, broken and pursued with the bayonet.
Col. Lanskoy, whom I sent to the French head-quarters for an exchange of prisoners, will furnish a list of them on his return, which I will without delay transmit to your imperial majesty, when it will be seen what number are missing, and how many were made prisoners of war.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, May 28.
Very late from Europe.
Captain Taylor, of the ship Fanny, arrived here yesterday in the remarkable short passage of 24 days from Greenock.
Captain Taylor has favored the editors of the New York Gazette with London papers to the 30th of April, and Greenock papers to the 3d inst. Such articles as appeared the most interesting, will be found in this day's Gazette. It will be seen that there is no prospect of peace in Europe.
In our marine department will be found a long list of American vessels, detained in the different ports of England, from which it would appear that the British consider all the northern ports in a state of blockade.
In the house of lords the 23d of April, on motion of lord Holland, the bill for regulating the intercourse between the United States and the British colonies, was ordered to be read a second time that day se'nnight.
Mr. William Dundas (late secretary of war) is appointed governor of Canada and John Hodgson, esq. governor of Bermuda.

LONDON, "Statesman Office, 3 o'clock" We are this moment informed of a truce landed at Dover at 10 o'clock. The bearer was of the artillery, and of the legion he would not deliver his dispatch to Mr. Fox."
Another communication has reached ministers from the French government. Yes. Yesterday morning about 6 o'clock, the Combatant gun brig, which was cruising off the South Foreland, fell in with a flag of truce from Calais. The dispatches were taken on board the French vessel, and landed at Deal about 4 o'clock in the afternoon: they were of course immediately forwarded to Mr. Fox's office. The same degree of undulating secrecy has been observed by ministers upon this as upon former occasions; the nature and object of these dispatches, therefore, remain unknown. It is supposed by many persons that they relate to an object more important than the exchange of prisoners; and this supposition is, in a great degree, founded upon the reports which are in very general circulation upon the continent, viz. that Bonaparte has made a pacific proposition to the British government. It is, however, more probable that they contain the final determination of the French government respecting the exchange of prisoners.
Near Betzose, a new Russian army of 100,000 men is assembling. Twenty regiments of cossacks were, at the date of the last accounts, hourly expected there. At Robryn, all the tailors, shoemakers, &c. were put in requisition to provide clothing for the Russian troops, and were paid most liberally.
The emperor of Germany allows the exportation of provisions, cattle, &c. from his dominions, for the support of the Russian army; and Russian commissaries have been accredited throughout the hereditary states. M. Rochefoucault has remonstrated on the occasion, but the supplies are continued.
Government this morning received the following important information:
Copy from the log book of the American ship Dorothea, dated 4th Feb. 1806. "At 2 o'clock A. M. discovered a fleet to the north west which gave chase to us, in stunning sails and hove to. At three the headmost ship, the Patriot, came up with us, and proved French. After examining us she carried us up to the admiral; and after asking many questions relative to English convoys, they allowed us to proceed. We counted six sail of the line and one frigate, lat. 15, 22, long. 18, 25, west. The Patriot informed the captain of the Dorothea that they had sailed from Brest on the 14th of December, 18 sail in number, but had separate divisions: they had taken 8 English ships with troops on board. They denied that they had any troops on board, although the admiral's ship appeared full of troops. The ships were—Hole 74, Majestic 74, Impetueux 74, Foudroyant 74, Veteran 74, De Castor 74, Valencien 44, all French admirals, Guillaume and Jerome Bonaparte. St. Helena east 130 leagues."
The Cape of Good Hope is to be the grand military depot for the supply of our Asiatic possessions, the chief administration of which, it is said, is to be placed in the hands of sir J. C. Hippesley, and that general Smee is to be commander in chief.
An order in council has been published in the London Gazette, extending the late embargo upon Prussian vessels to all ships, &c. belonging to persons residing in any of the ports and places up the rivers Elbe, Weser, and Ems, except such as are navigating under the Danish flag. This fact, and an official notification of lord Howick, that a convoy is appointed for the Baltic fleet, tend to prove, that a good understanding exists between the British and Danish courts, and that no apprehension need be entertained at present of the Sound being shut against us.
A considerable part of the people of this country is now informed of the treachery and duplicity of Prussia; in a few weeks they will be known to all Europe. The speeches of lord Grenville and Mr. Fox yesterday in Parliament, and the important declaration delivered on Sunday last by his majesty as elector of Hanover, contain the essence and particulars of that system of deliberate fraud, of avarice, and of selfishness, upon which the cabinet of Berlin, appears to have acted from the first moment that there was a prospect of the renewal of the continental war. Well might Bonaparte, in his 34th military bulletin, expand himself

to count Haugwitz, and Prussia had never a more tested friend than France?" that his Prussian majesty had to the emperor of Austria, Frederick the great, eternal fidelity to him and to his successors, and to all his measures calculated to lure and
betray. It was perhaps fortunate for Alexander that the Prussians had not joined him at the battle of Austerlitz; the event might have been more adverse than it was. Such was the premeditated treachery of the king of Prussia, that we should not be surprised to hear that in the heat of the battle he had given orders to his troops to go over to the enemy, and turn their arms against their ally.
We are happy to find such perfect unanimity prevail in both houses of parliament, on the subject of the measures which have been adopted against Prussia. It is an omen which promises a zealous concurrence in whatever can give vigor and extent to the conduct of the war.
It is no longer a secret that the late intercourse with France, by flags of truce, respected proposals for peace on her part. But these having been found inadmissible, the papers which have passed between the two countries will shortly be laid before parliament.
We already stated that an expedition is now fitting out for the continent, which is to be commanded by lord Cathcart. We understand it will consist of not less than 12,000 men, cavalry and infantry. Lord Cathcart is to have the appointment of his own staff. The dragoon guards and foot guards will form a large portion of this army, which is destined to co-operate with the gallant king of Sweden.
We learn from Constantinople, that the Turkish troops upon the Russian frontiers are considerably increasing, which, with other circumstances, has induced M. Italinski, the Russian minister, to demand explanation relative to these preparations, and that he was informed by the Reis Effendi, that such preparations were necessary for restoring and preserving peace in the interior of the Turkish empire. A considerable Turkish fleet is fitting out.
The promises and threats of France and Prussia to induce Denmark to exclude our flag from the Baltic, have been hitherto unavailing; the Danish ministry insist on a rigid neutrality; and it is probable that she will succeed in maintaining it.
The recent movements of the French on the Austrian frontiers and the reinforcement of their corps in Bavaria, have created much uneasiness at Vienna. On the arrival of a courier from Berthier, the French minister at Vienna communicated to the Imperial cabinet the determination of his master to retain possession of Braunau until the affairs of Dalmatia were adjusted. Prince Schwartzenberg was immediately dispatched to Paris, with a strong remonstrance on this violation of the treaty of Presburgh.
The hostility of France towards Austria, which has recently manifested itself on numerous occasions, was lately insultingly expressed towards the imperial minister count Stutterheim. The count on his return from Paris, whither he had been sent on a special mission, stopped at Munich; but on the following day he received orders from the Batavian government for his immediate departure; and an adjutant of gen. Berthier attended to see the order enforced. It was the general opinion in Holland, that the peace will be of short duration. France appears desirous to strike a blow, before the extensive military arrangements now carrying on, under the orders of the archduke Charles can be organized; and it is certain that the unceasing accumulation of Russian troops on the Austrian frontiers is the occasion of the most serious solicitude to Bonaparte.
There was a report on Saturday that gen. Mack had been convicted of high treason, and condemned to suffer the pain of death.
The trial of lord Viscount Melville commences to-morrow morning.
Price of stocks this day, consols 60 1-8. Omnium 2 1-4. Paris papers to the 19th inst. and Dutch to the 22d inst. were received on Friday night. The most important article they contain is, a long detailed commentary in the Moniteur upon the state of Europe. According to this Expose, Hanover is only occupied by, but not definitively annexed to Prussia. The king of Prussia has declared otherwise. Which of the two tells the lie? France demands of Austria what Austria cannot give, possession of Dalmatia. In consequence of the Russians having occupied Cattaro, it is officially declared, "that Braunau, which commands the
frontier of the Inn, has been re-occupied and garrisoned; that the French army has been ordered to resume its position, and that the Austrian prisoners, who were on their way home have been stopped until further orders."
There is a scheme in these papers for making the elector of Saxony surrender that country to Prussia, and take in return the Prussian part of Poland.
An article, copied from the Presburgh Gazette into the Paris papers, says a numerous Russian army is approaching Prussia."
The intelligence that the Elbe is blockaded was received at Hamburg on the 21st, when, as might be expected, it created general consternation. The prince of Hesse Philipsthal still continues to defend, in the bravest manner, the fortress of Gaeta. No art is neglected to induce him to surrender, but he positively refuses.
By the last advices from Vienna, the proceedings against gen. Mack are nearly terminated. He is declared insane.
The following extracts from our Hamburg correspondent's letter, will be found interesting:
"Hamburg, April 18. "In the Correspondenten of this date is inserted an article, at the express request of the Prussian minister here, contradicting the report that his Swedish majesty had received a note from the Prussian ministry, intimating a desire on the part of their sovereign that he would order his troops to evacuate the Hanoverian territories on this side of the Elbe. Notwithstanding this formal contradiction, the best informed persons here continue to assert, that a communication to the above effect has actually been made. In the mean time his Swedish majesty has given orders to count De Lowenheim to defend to the last his positions in the Lauenburgh. The count was joined a few days ago by a reinforcement of several battalions from Swedish Pomerania. On the 10th instant he moved his head-quarters from Ratzeburgh to Buchen, which is still nearer the Elbe."
"Private letters from Berlin of the 15th inst. state, that the troops stationed under count Kalkreuth, in Prussian Pomerania, are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's notice."
"The Prussian troops are spreading themselves over every part of the electorate of Hanover, on the other side of the Elbe. Within these few days, a party of them took possession of the celebrated university of Gottingen, where they immediately put seals on the presses belonging to the different professorships. The names, arms and mottoes of the different colleges are to be changed. In the matriculation registers and diplomas, every thing has been erased which bears any reference to the house of Hanover or the British sovereign."
"Two mails from London being still due, and our merchants being uncertain whether their late purchase in England will ever reach them, many of them have found themselves under the necessity of withholding their acceptance of bills drawn upon them by their English correspondents."

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 torments 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 relief 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 unkindly or excessive use of mercury—the diseases pecu- liar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings 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,    Lowliness 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)  Obstinate gleets,    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. John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, be- Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily by market oath as follows, namely, That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflic- ted 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 cripple 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.
SWORN AND SUBSCRIBED BEFORE EBENEZER FERGUSON, Esq. One of the justices of the peace for Phila- delphia county.
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, so commonly complained of as operating with vi- olence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this it-
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 should 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 corrupt humors; 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 Tæres or large round worm, the Asca- dres, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tænia 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 feet—Con- vulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep— Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid stools—Vo- miting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickens 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 unhealth- y 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 wan- ted 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 whole I judge this me- dicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary 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.
