RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
"We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801. "The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804. "We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801. "On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

THURSDAY, November 24.
EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal.
[CONTINUED.]
(Mr. Giles's Speech continued.)
The gentleman from Massachusetts [Mr. Lloyd] expresses his fears of some design for the destruction of commerce. He tells us, our commerce has grown to an enormous size and warns us that it is not to be trifled with. The gentleman from Connecticut, too, tells us, that the avowed was not the real object, of the embargo laws; and that he so prophesied at the time of passing them—that their real object was to encourage manufactures, at the expence of commerce. This charge of insincerity is a serious one. It is of a nature to impose a constraint upon the feelings, against making surprise more than any thing I ever heard fall from that gentleman; and the only apology I can find for it is, that he unfortunately prophesied it. It is a painful effort of the mind to admit ourselves false prophets.—By this time, it is impossible, but the gentleman must be convinced, that this was a false prophesy. He reminds me of two lines in Hudibras:
"A man convinced against his will, Is of the same opinion still."
The gentleman must be convinced, but retains the same opinion. Sir, whether it be a suspicion or a jealousy, or whatever delusion the gentleman is laboring under, I peremptorily deny the existence of the fact he has insinuated. How has it happened, that the commerce of the United States has become so enormous; but from the increasing and protecting the gentleman to name one, or a single act from the southern members unfavorable to our commercial prosperity. On the other hand, have we not always concurred in the stimuli given to commerce by discriminating duties, both on tonnage and merchandise, by the drawback system? and many other acts not material now to mention. It has been from these causes, added to the enterprizes of our people, that commerce has arrived to such a pitch of prosperity. They certainly do not warrant the charge brought against the government.
But what has excited my surprise, more than any thing else, respecting this suggestion is, that the delusion upon the gentleman's mind, should be so strong as to banish his recollection of the local interests of the different states in the Union. He seems to suppose that the southern are manufacturing states—this is not the fact. The fact is, that the commercial are, also, the manufacturing states. The southern states are agricultural and commercial, not manufacturing, except in the household way; and that is not the species of manufacturing that has excited the gentleman's alarm. The peculiar organization of society in the southern states, will, for a long time, forbid large establishments of domestic manufactures.—This is the kind which gives the gentleman so much alarm; and, in this kind, the southern states have no local interests whatever. They have, however, an essential interest in commerce, although, generally, the merchants carrying it on, may not reside within them. The agriculturists know, that a prosperous commerce is essential to good prices, and, therefore, they have always contributed to its protection and prosperity. In this state of facts, the gentleman may find a perfect security against his extravagant and unfounded jealousies. But that gentleman is alarmed, because he has discovered in the President's replies to sundry addresses from the manufacturers, expressions of satisfaction at their prosperity and improvement in the manufacturing system. But the President has no where expressed an intimation, or a wish, that this improvement or prosperity should be encouraged and promoted at the expence of commerce. And if he were to indulge so extraordinary an inclination, he could not expect to get a vote south of
Potomac in favor of the system. Suppose the merchants had addressed the President in the days of their prosperity, would he not have expressed his satisfaction at the circumstance? And would such expression have been just ground, or any ground of alarm and jealousy to the manufacturer?—Certainly not, sir. Every patriot must rejoice at the prosperity of each, and every class of citizens. Indeed, sir, did not the gentleman himself, in the course of his observations, with a laudable animation, express his high satisfaction at the doings of his own legislature, giving encouragement to Colonel Humphreys, in his attempts to introduce manufactures into the state of Connecticut? Proceedings highly honorable both to the legislature and Col. Humphreys; and which I have also seen with great satisfaction. But, sir, would it be correct to infer from this circumstance, that commerce is to be assailed and prostrated?—Such an inference would be as idle and absurd in this case, as it is in relation to the views of the general government. Indeed, sir, I concur perfectly with the gentleman in the opinion he has expressed upon the manufacturing system, in relation to the commercial. I have taken more pains in repelling this extraordinary jealousy or suspicion, in the hope that in correcting the public sentiment, in this respect, it would, at the same time, dissipate a great portion of the objections to the embargo laws, which seem at this time, to be imperiously demanded, by the extraordinary crisis of our foreign relations.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, December 7.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
DEBATE.
On the report in part of the committee to whom was referred so much of the president's message as relates to foreign relations.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Quincey's Speech continued.]
My honorable colleague (Mr. Bacon) was also pleased to refer to me as a man of divisions and distinctions, waging war with adverbs and dealing in figures. Sir, I am sorry that my honorable colleague should stoop "from his pride of place," at such a man. Certainly, Mr. Speaker, I confess, that "deeming high" of this station, which I hold; standing, as it were, in the awful presence of an assembled people, I am more than ordinarily anxious, on all occasions, to select the best thoughts, in my narrow store house, and to adapt to them, the most appropriate dress, in my intellectual wardrobe. I know not whether, on this account, I am justly obnoxious to the asperity of my honorable colleague.—But on the subject of figures, Mr. Speaker, this I know, and cannot refrain from assuring this house, that as, on the one hand, I shall, to the extent of my humble talents, always be ambitious, and never cease striving, to make a decent figure on this floor, so on the other, I never can be ambitious, but on the contrary, shall ever strive chiefly to avoid cutting a figure like my honorable colleague.
The gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Troup) the other day, told this house, that if commerce were permitted such was the state of our foreign relations none but bankrupts would carry on trade. Sir, the honorable gentleman has not attained correct information in this particular. I do not believe that I state any thing above the real fact, when I say, that on the day this legislature assembled, one hundred vessels at least, were lying in the different ports and harbors of New-England, loaded, riding at single anchor, ready and anxious for nothing so much, as for your leave to depart. Certainly, this does not look much like any doubt, that a field of advantageous commerce would open, if you would unbarr the door to our citizens. That this was the case, in Massachusetts, I know. Before I left that part of the country, I had several applications from men, who had stated that they had property in such situations, and soliciting me to give them the earliest information of your probable policy. The men so applying, sir, I can assure the house, were not bankrupts; but intelligent merchants, shrewd to perceive their true interests; keen to pursue them. The same honorable gentleman was also pleased to speak of "a paltry trade in potash and codfish," and to refer to me, as the representative of men, who raised "beef and pork and butter and cheese and potatoes and cabbages." Well, sir, I confess the fact. I am the representative, in part, of men, the products of whose industry are beef and pork, and butter and cheese and potatoes and cabbages.
es. And let me tell that honorable gentleman, that I would not yield the honor of representing such men to be the representative of all the growers of cotton, and rice and tobacco and indigo, in the whole world. Sir, the men, whom I represent, not only raise these humble articles, but they do it with the labor of their own hands, with the sweat of their own brows. And by this their habitual mode of hardy industry, they acquire a vigor of nerve, a strength of muscle and a spirit and intelligence somewhat characteristic. And let me assure that honorable gentleman that the men, of whom I speak will not, at his call, nor at the invitation of any man, or set of men, from his quarter of the union, undertake to "drive one another into the ocean." But, on the contrary, whenever they once realize, that their rights are invaded, they will unite, like a band of brothers, and drive their enemies there.
The honorable gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Johnson) speaking of the embargo, said, that this was the kind of conflict, which our fathers waged; and my honorable colleague (Mr. Bacon) made a poor attempt to confound this policy, with the non-intercourse and non-importation agreement of 1774 and 1775. Sir, nothing can be more dissimilar. The non-intercourse and non-importation agreement of that period, so far from destroying commerce fostered and encouraged it. The trade with Great Britain was, indeed, voluntarily obstructed, but the enterprize of our merchants found a new incentive in the commerce with all the other nations of the globe, which succeeded immediately on our escape from the monopoly of the mother country. Our navigation was never suspended. The field of commerce, at that period, so far from being blasted by pestiferous regulations, was extended by the effect of the restrictions adopted.
[Speech to be continued.]
Latest from Europe.
LONDON, Nov. 1.
Dispatches were yesterday received by government from Oporto, giving an account of a disturbance in the neighborhood of that place. Notwithstanding the baggage of the French troops embarked there was regularly searched, the resentment of the people towards the enemy was so inveterate, in consequence of some sacred articles being found in their possession, that they in the Portuguese, in their turn, committed every possible depredation on board the transports. The British commander had the greatest difficulty in restraining the violence and outrage of the people, but happily at the date of the dispatches, public tranquility had been restored.
November 2.
The conferences at Erfurth are at an end, and the veil which has hitherto covered them, will soon be withdrawn. One of their objects we can easily penetrate into, and sorry are we to say, that there is no doubt of Bonaparte's having accomplished it.—He has persuaded Russia to enter into his views upon Spain; and the emperor Alexander is the medium through which he has made the emperor of Austria remain, if not approving, at least a tame spectator of that sanguinary warfare with which he is determined to visit Spain. By what arts and arguments can he have prevailed upon Russia or Austria to give credit to any pledge he may make, or to any treaty he may sign, after his treatment of Spain?—Questions like these we know are useless, but the mind cannot refrain from asking them—History has now to record another proof of the lengths to which the credulity of some cabinets can be carried: and we shall be much deceived if she will not have to record also signal instances of the fatal effects of it.
DISTURBANCES AT OPORTO.
PRIVATE LETTER.
"OPORTO, Oct. 13, at night."
"We have had, since Monday last, a kind of second revolution, which was occasioned by the arrival of the French troops from Almeida, under an escort of 240 men of the 6th British regiment. They arrived at Cales Novo, below Massarallus on Sunday morning; but the sick (about 250) came down from Pezo da Regoa, in four boats under a guard of British soldiers, and arrived on Saturday morning. This, as you may suppose, attracted a great crowd on the bridge, and that day the people began to be dissatisfied. These were carried down to the Castle of St. John's; and things remained pretty quiet until the Monday morning, although all Sunday the people went to see those that were at Cales Novo, and continued so all night long, which they employed in buying all kind of things from the French, who sold many fine horses, and
very cheap. On the Monday morning early they were all embarked on board four transports, that had arrived the day before from Lisbon, and were lying at Massarallus with their arms, baggage, and ammunition. This only tended to inflame the minds of the Portuguese mob, and they kept murmuring all day long. It was not until the evening about seven o'clock, when the bells in the city, and round it, gave the alarm that people of every description and from all parts came down to the Massarallus, lined the shore on both sides the river, some armed with guns, some with swords, and others with sticks, &c. I should tell you, before I proceed any further, that during the Monday sir Robert Wilson, with the quartermaster-general, who came down with the French from Almeida and several other officers, went down to the Castle to have the baggage that was there examined by them and the governor Barmudo. Accordingly every thing was going on well, when they opened a box which they found contained several rich vestments of the Portuguese Priests. This was enough to increase the dissatisfaction of the governor, and he instantly gave orders that no vessel should be allowed to pass the Castle, or if they attempted to get out to sink them. Every gun in the Castle was loaded with shot, and remains so to this moment. The people of St. John's soon heightened the story, and said that diamonds, sacramental vessels, and church plate had been found, with many other things. This soon reached Oporto, and the mob, without listening to any thing that could be said to them, went down, and insisted upon killing the French in the Castle. Some of the English soldiers who were on guard at St. John's were attacked by the mob, but nothing of consequence happened. The Portuguese troops were all out, and the bishop was obliged to go down to St. John's where he succeeded in quieting the people, and about eight o'clock in the evening he returned to Oporto, accompanied by sir Robert, and several other officers English and Portuguese, amidst the cries "Viva o Bispo," destruction to his regency of Lisbon—the Bishop must be Viceroy. They, however, continued all night on both sides of the river, and waited with patience until yesterday morning, when, by seven o'clock, there were more than four thousand persons of all descriptions assembled, who appeared determined to attack the French that were on board the transports. Every preparation was made; several pieces of artillery were drawn up on both sides, and they had mounted twenty guns on board each of three Brazil ships that were lying opposite the transports. Every moment increased the storm, and the French who were preparing to meet the attack, were prepared with sixty rounds each man, and determined to defend themselves.
"The wish of the Provo it was impossible to know, but it generally appeared that they wanted to destroy them all. About 9 o'clock, the bishop came down in a barge, with sir Robert Wilson, who was indefatigable on the occasion. Much praise is due to him for his exertions, to which we are indebted for things not having taken a more serious turn. The mob would not hear any thing. They wanted the Frenchmen's arms and baggage, and reproached the English with not assisting them. A negotiation was established on the part of the people, by the bishop and sir Robert Wilson, and propositions were made to the French general who was on board. This was a delicate point for sir Robert. Being the highest in rank here, he was obliged to see that the articles of capitulation were strictly executed; and this was particularly observed by the French general. Sir Robert was employed in negotiating from nine in the morning, until four in the evening, going backwards and forwards from the shore to the transports, the mob becoming every moment more and more clamorous. Several propositions were made on both sides, but none pleasing to the two parties. The French agreed to suffer their baggage to be searched, and to give up any thing that should be found belonging to the Portuguese; but as to giving up their arms, they would not consent, and said they would rather die than consent to it. This was communicated to the Juiz do Povo, and then commenced the alarming scene. Persons from both sides of the river jumped into boats, and were proceeding to attack the transports; but by the exertions and perseverance of sir Robert, tranquility was again restored, and the French offered to give up their arms outside of the bar. This, however, was not acceded to, but at last it was agreed, that they should be disembarked, their baggage examined on shore, and that they should leave their arms.
As soon as this was perfectly understood, barges from all parts went to board the transports, but they took care to begin by the three that were not armed; for one has six 6 pounders, which the French have kept loaded since the beginning of this affair.

They took every thing out of the transports, even the provisions and wearing apparel of the ship's owners; every thing was bro't ashore, and in a short time every thing disappeared. The Frenchmen were landed, and are now at a warehouse next to those of the Wine Company at Massaralos. By this time it was almost dark, and the armed transport remained unmolested. There were on board of this about three hundred French, who have since remained on board; the others are guarded by our troops and some Portuguese cavalry, to prevent the mob from destroying them. We do not know what has passed between the bishop and sir Robert Wilson, but the Portuguese seem to be ashamed of their conduct, and it is evident that their object was no other than plunder. To this day things remain unsettled, and God only knows how it will end. "October 15."
NEWBURYPORT, Dec. 23. Yesterday completed twelve months since the imposition of the embargo. Never was a day known in this country which brought with it feelings and anticipations so gloomy and distressing. It was commemorated in this town by every possible demonstration of grief and mourning—At sunrise the bells were tolled, the flags of the shipping hoisted half mast, and minute guns, (a signal of extreme distress,) fired. The tolling of bells and discharge of cannon was repeated at 12, and at 4—At 9 o'clock, a procession of sailors, looking each of them "bloodless image of despair," wearing raper on the left arm and marshalled by an officer, marched with muffled drums through the principal streets of the town, followed by a ship dismantled. Her yards and masts capped by inverted cans, denoting the want of grog. A flag was suspended between her main and mizen shrouds, representing a ship in dry dock—inscription, Death to commerce—"O grab me" was painted on the bows of the ship. An old sailor with a prospect glass stood on the quarter deck, enquiring in the words on her stern, "Which way shall I steer?" Opposite the custom house was a flag representing a terrapin; his head in a most dignified retirement. When the procession reached the spot, it halted, and a sailor standing on the main chains delivered an ADDRESS prepared for the occasion. We are assured it was written by himself, and does no small honor to his talents and feelings. It went from the heart—it reached the heart. An immense concourse of spectators evinced by their applause its excellence. These honest tars afterwards dined together on Clams.
Alexandria Daily Gazette. THURSDAY, JANUARY 5. In consequence of the shameful neglect of the keeper of the stage office at Baltimore, we were unable to issue a paper yesterday. Our friends at Baltimore, lodged in the stage office some bundles of paper for us, eight or ten days since, and we did not receive them till last evening—we trust our patrons will receive this as a sufficient apology.
TO THE EDITOR. WASHINGTON, Wednesday 4th January. The house of representatives were yesterday employed in their usual occupation, viz: doing nothing; yet it is not to be inferred, as might be supposed, that they were idle—by no means; for, like the honest Hibernian, "they are always most busy when they've nothing to do." Mr. Matlack brought in a report from a select committee, unfavorable to the classification of the militia, which, after a short discussion, was made the order for to-day. This committee, by the way, seems to have been very cunningly appointed by the honorable Speaker; for he must know the sentiments
of almost every member on this subject, as it was fully discussed during the last session. The principle of classing the militia, according to age, is a great favorite among the southern members of Congress, as well as of the President himself; it is, however, warmly opposed by the northern members, and by none more than by the honorable Speaker, who is a major general of militia. It is certainly a pleasing system in theory; and its utility in practice has been amply testified by the success of the French armies: It is by this that they have been enabled to perform such rapid and astonishing movements, both in advancing and retreating; and as Bonaparte still adheres to it and particularly in his last conscription, there is much reason to apprehend the success of his army, young, vigorous, and disciplined, in their infamous contest with the mixed multitude who compose the patriots of Spain—but God grant them success in their noble struggle for independence; at any rate.
Dulci et decorum est pro patria mori. The house, in committee of the whole, agreed to the various amendments made to Mr. Giles' bill for enforcing the embargo. No debate took place either on the bill or the amendments; but there will no doubt be an animated discussion when these are taken up by the house. Mr. Van Cortlandt offered an amendment, to limit the duration of the embargo to the 4th of March next. This was declared by the Chairman (Mr. Bassett) to be out of order, which decision produced considerable debate, as questions of order always do. As Mr. F. G. Jackson was among those who insisted that the amendment was in order, it appears that he either wished the embargo to come again before the house for discussion, or that it is the intention of government to remove the embargo partially, after the non-intercourse laws shall be passed. Eager as some of the members are to display their eloquence on this topic, the former of these suppositions would seem to be ridiculous, after all the speeches that have been made and all the time that has been spent upon it. Indeed, after the non-intercourse laws are passed, it would be absurd to continue the embargo.

The General Assembly of Virginia have removed from the privy Council or Council of State, Alexander M'Rea Esq. and John Guerrant Esq. and have come to a resolution to proceed by joint ballot with the Senate on the 4th inst. to the appointment of a Treasurer. They also resolved to proceed on Wednesday (yesterday) by joint ballot with the Senate to the choice of three members of the privy council, to fill the vacancies occasioned by the resignation of Wm. Aylett, and the constitutional removal of Alexander M'Rea and John Guerrant.
Count Florida Blanca, an old, able and experienced statesman, of the true Castilian School, has been declared President of the Supreme Junta of Spain, for life ; and when sitting at the head of that Assembly, is addressed by the title of "His Majesty." There are two considerations, connected with this appointment, which are deserving of notice. The declaring him appointed for life , evinces that the Junta consider themselves constituted;—the title by which he is addressed is perhaps morally complimentary to their absent King, whom they thus tacitly, or rather openly, acknowledge, as presiding in the deliberations, of that august and patriotic body.—We give this on the authority of a letter from the Havanna, of the first respectability.
[New-York paper.]
In addition to the great number of British troops already in Spain and Portugal, numerous expeditions are frequently fitting out. The Courier of the 5th November states, that on the 4th, the 16th light dragoons marched from Ipswich for Falmouth, and three troops of the 14th from Rumford; both regiments being ordered for Spain.—Orders were just sent to Ireland, to prepare for immediate embarkation a brigade of cavalry and two brigades of infantry; this last named army to be joined by another battalion of the Scots Royals, 73d and 75th Highlanders, 77th and 87th (or Prince of Wales's Irish Horse, 2d battalion) 38th or Connaught Rangers, (1st battalion) and several companies of the Rifle Corps. These great exertions to aid two kingdoms in arms will be opposed by the "undivided energies of France," producing slaughter and devastation too shocking to dwell upon.—May an all wise and adorable God, if such prayer coincide with the will of Heaven, nerve the Patriots' arm, and give strength to him to turn back the bloody legions of the ruthless invader! [Bal. pap.]
The Governor of Grand Canary, who is in fact a Frenchman, has prevailed over a great body of his adherents to resist all new doctrines; this was strongly opposed by the royal friends of Ferdinand VII. but the French had the advantage; they dissolved the Junta of the island, and imprisoned some of the members attached to the new cause; the island was a scene of confusion, and the people were fearful the whole would end in a civil broil.

Joseph Bonaparte, according to the latest accounts, was at Salvatierra, between Vittoria and Pampepluna. On the 2th he held a council of war at Ochandianno, at which most of the French generals attended, and immediately after which, several of the advanced corps of the enemy, stationed on the Ebro, were withdrawn. The divisions from Miagro, Lodoso, and Viana, were concentrated in a very strong position between Lorin & Olete, and amounted to near 20,000 men.

A WHOPPER. Curiosity. —A most wonderful curiosity has lately been sent to J. Selwand Esq. Portman Square, London—It is a hawk of a very large size, caught at the Cape of Good Hope; he has round his neck a gold collar of curious workmanship, on which have been discovered the words—"This goodlie Hawke doth belong to his most excellent Majestic James, King of England, A. D. 1610." The hawk still betrays a degree of vigor, and the only symptom of old age discoverable, is a dimness of sight, and a change in the color of the feathers round the neck.—London Paper.
The Marblehead Patriots. The people of Marblehead are violently attached to the administration, and peculiarly fond of the embargo, which is devoting them to ruin with something more than "pace of snail," to borrow one of the eloquent expressions of the late Senator Adams. Feeling sensibly the effects of this wise measure, but determined to adhere to its authors, they have hit upon a notable expedient to reconcile, in concordia discors , their feelings, their interests, & their principles. They have passed solemn resolutions, which have been solemnly read in Congress, by their representative, Mr. Story, declaring that the government had better not employ either gun-boats or revenue cutters along their coast, but hire their fishing vessels, and employ them in enforcing the "laws of embargo." WALPOLZ said that every patriot had his price, and the Marbleheadites do not seem, most violently, and most luminously, and most learnedly patriotic as they are, to furnish an exception to the remark. They will support the government, if it will put their vessels and themselves under pay. "A hit, a very palpable hit." As Mr. Gardner of New Hampshire said, in allusion to them, they wanted the quid pro quo . [Freeman's Journal.]

And, when to assist you I proffer'd my arm, Was the smile you bestow'd, a smile from the heart; Did your bosom then witness emotions as warm, As you blush'd to discover your glance could impart?  When the throbs of my bosom disorder'd my frame, And I trembled beneath the sweet burden I bore; Did sympathy whisper our feelings the same, And Love softly bid thee acknowledge his power?  If, dearest Almeria, the glance of thine eye, Was a glance that proclaim'd the soft feelings within thee; If thy blush was the glow of affection, and I Felt a kindred to thine, rise within me:  Oh come to my bosom, sweet maid of fourteen, The heart in it beats only for thee; Of the warmest affections 'twould hail thee the queen, Then haste, dear Almeria, to love and to me.

Valuable Family Medicines.

Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 56 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.

The following new and valuable Medicine, received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance to the preservation of health—this common remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pain, from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, or other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service as will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operates so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
