EPITOME OF ALL THE ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF VIRGINIA, OF A PUBLIC NATURE. PASSED AT THEIR DECEMBER SESSION, 1805.
[CONCLUDED.]
ACT. VII.
To amend the several acts concerning the inspection of tobacco.
Inspectors of Tobacco shall inspect all tobacco, after it is picked and before it is weighed, and make each hogshead weigh twelve hundred and fifty nett, at least.—Inspectors, pickers and coopers of tobacco shall not directly nor indirectly be concerned in the transportation of tobacco by water from their warehouse, under the penalty of 100 dollars for each hogshead;—nor shall they for themselves or others, purchase, sell, stem, manufacture, barter, lend or exchange any tobacco inspected at their warehouse, under the penalty of 10 dollars for each hundred so purchased, &c. Every inspector shall stow away and secure at night, every hogshead of tobacco inspected during the day, under the penalty of ten dollars per hogshead for each failure; and shall also be liable to the action of the injured party for damages.—Inspectors shall prize and cooper all refused tobacco, which the owner shall not choose to have picked, shall weigh the same and mark the gross weight on each cask, and preserve and deliver it to the owner, or his order, for which they shall receive 50 cents a hogshead: the inspectors shall grant a manifest for each hogshead so delivered; and any person selling or manufacturing refused tobacco, without such manifest forfeits 100 dollars a hogshead.—But any person having a hogshead of tobacco refused, may carry it with the manifest to any other warehouse and the inspectors, first destroying the manifest, may view the tobacco, and if they esteem it of good quality, may either grant a receipt therefor, as now required by law, or another manifest for which 50 cents shall be paid, expressing the review and that it was a second time refused; after which it shall not be carried to any other warehouse for inspection; but may either be picked or sell it as this law directs. The duty of commissioners under the act of 1790, shall not extend to any repairs or additions to the warehouses, but only a report of their condition and the quantity of Tobacco they are capable of containing—upon which report the court may make such orders relating thereto, as before the passage of the said act: Provided that the commissioners shall provide such conveniences as are now authorised to be at the public expense, and have the same repaired when necessary.—In case any court shall fail to appoint such commissioners at August or September terms, they may appoint them at any time between the months of September and April following. Penalties under this act may be recovered by action of debt, petition or warrant, in the county or corporation where the offence shall be committed, one half to the prosecutor, and the other to the commonwealth. The public printer shall hereafter furnish one copy of all the acts now in force concerning the inspection of Tobacco, to the inspectors at the several warehouses established by law; and in like manner furnish the said inspectors with one copy of any law hereafter to be made, amending the laws concerning the inspection of tobacco, which copies shall be forwarded to the several counties in which the inspectors are situated, with the acts of the general assembly.
ARGUS.
(To commence the first day of June next.)
A resolution approbatory of the conduct of the present administration of the government of the United States, in its intercourse with foreign nations, and reciting the causes of our differences with Spain, as well as the other foreign powers who have violated our neutral rights, particularly in our commercial affairs, concluded with the following sentence:
“That the general assembly of Virginia, having the highest confidence in the wisdom, virtue and firmness of the president of the United States, and of the congress thereof, are ready whenever the latter shall deem it necessary, to join in a contest with any nation that has injured us, and “try which can do the other the most harm.”
On the question to agree to the resolution, in the house of delegates, a division
was called for. That part which expressed our confidence in the wisdom, virtue and firmness of the president, was carried by 151 to 8 votes. The latter part of the resolution, together with the preamble was unanimously adopted. In the senate, the resolution was agreed to with one dissenting voice only.
Several other subjects of great importance have been discussed during the last session, but miscarried either in the house of delegates, or in the senate.
1. A petition from the counties of Henry and Patrick, “requesting the legislature to adopt means for calling a convention to revise the state constitution,” was taken up, and the further consideration of it postponed to the 31st day of March next. Ayes 98: Noes 58.
2. A bill “to prevent the emancipation of slaves within this commonwealth,” was lost in the house of delegates, on the question for reading it a third time. Ayes 73: Noes 75.
3. A bill “to amend the judiciary system,” together with a substitute to the original bill, produced much discussion; and after having undergone various amendments, both were finally lost in the house of delegates.
4. A bill to extend the jurisdiction to a single justice of the peace to twenty dollars, and to abolish petitions for small debts, passed the house of delegates—Ayes 89: Noes 62; but was lost in the senate by the casting vote of the speaker. The provisions of this bill were nearly similar to those contained in the bill which passed the house of delegates last year. The judgment of a single magistrate was to be final as far as ten dollars. From ten to twenty dollars an appeal is allowed; but in order to prevent appeals a stay or execution was granted the defendant. On the affirmation of the judgment, ten per cent. damages were to be awarded. When an execution issued after a stay, or upon the affirmation of an appeal, no security was to be taken. If an officer returned “no effects” on an execution issued upon a judgment rendered by a magistrate, the clerk of the court might issue an execution against the body. To relieve magistrates from the trouble of taking appeal bonds, a bare acknowledgment of the security indorsed on the warrant was sufficient.
CONGRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, February 5.
The House again resolved itself into a committee of the whole; Mr John C. Smith in the chair, on the bill imposing a duty of ten dollars on every slave imported into the U. States.
Mr. D. R. Williams said as the advocates of the bill seemed to think the amendment he had offered intended to defeat it, he would withdraw it, and make the subject of a distinct resolution.
Mr. Jackson offered a new resolution, the object of which was to prohibit the importation into the territories of the United States, of all slaves brought either from abroad, or from any state, except in the latter case by citizens of the United States, removing to a territory to settle there.
Mr. Jackson viewed this provision as necessary, in consequence of a legal construction given to an act of the last session, which allowed the importation of slaves from abroad into Louisiana.
This motion was opposed by Messrs. Alston, Ely, Morrow, Spalding, and Sloan, who either viewed it, as inexpedient in itself, or as proper to be introduced into a distinct bill.
Mr. Jackson said as it was the wish of his friends, he would withdraw the motion, and offer it on another occasion.
No farther amendments having been offered, the committee rose and reported their agreement to the bill.
The House immediately considered the report.
The amendment limiting the imposition of the tax to the first day of January, 1808, was disagreed to; and the other amendments agreed to.
Mr. Jackson enquired what the effects would be of the forfeiture of the cargo in case slaves were smuggled into the United States. Would they be sold, or would they be kept in the service of the United States? He did not wish to have any thing to do with them.
Mr. John C. Smith said he had voted for the resolution; but the defects in the details of the bill were so glaring, that he hoped it would be referred to a select committee, that it might be so modified as to cure these defects; or that in case it were found insusceptible of such modification, it might be rejected. Mr. J. C. Smith, accordingly moved the recommittal of the bill to a select committee.
Mr. Jackson advocated this motion, and remarked that the proviso of the bill that declared the duty should not be construed as giving a sanction
to the importation of slaves, offered an additional reason for either rejecting or recommittal it. How could this language be used with propriety in a law, when the constitution, the highest authority, authorised the trade?
Mr. Quincy spoke to the like effect, and further enquired, whether it was the intention of gentlemen to apply the provisions of the bill to slaves navigating the ships of the United States.
Messrs. Hastings and Sloan defended the provisions of the bill as perfectly correct. They observed that slaves were considered as property, as merchandise, and could only therefore in the bill be treated as such.
The motion to recommit was lost. Ayes 39, Noes 61.
Mr. Croweinshield spoke against the bill, and moved its postponement to an indefinite day, which is a vote equivalent to a rejection of a bill.
Messrs. John C. Smith, Taggart, and Rhea of [Ten] supported; and Messrs. Sloan, Elmer, and Suttie, opposed the motion; when the Yeas and Nays were called on it; and were Yeas 42, Noes 69.
Mr. Jackson moved to strike out the proviso of the bill, which motion was disagreed to; when the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to morrow. Ayes 69.
THURSDAY, February 6.
Several petitions were presented from sundry citizens of the 11th Congressional district of Pennsylvania, praying an alteration in that part of the constitution that extends the judicial power of the United States to controversies between citizens of different states, between citizens of the same state, claiming grants of lands under different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof and foreign states, citizens or subjects.
Referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
The bill laying a duty of ten dollars on every slave imported into the U. S. was read a third time.
Mr. John C. Smith stated, in a more detailed way, the objections previously offered to the provisions of the bill, and moved its recommittal to a select committee, in which the House concurred without a division.
A confidential message in writing was received from the President of the United States about 12 o'clock; Whereupon the galleries were cleared. They remained cleared until near 4 o'clock, when the House adjourned.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BALTIMORE, February 7.
In the subsequent columns will be found some of the very important bulletins promised yesterday. There appears to have been no ceremony in taking possession of Vienna—its fall was considered as a mere matter of course, and the armies of the emperor of France pursued their march beyond the eastern parts of Germany, while the panic-struck armies of Russia and Austria, continued to fly before them. Some sharp skirmishing occasionally occurred, but every thing like systematic opposition had ceased in that quarter.
In Italy the archduke Charles gave more work to the enemy, and continued to struggle manfully against the tide of war; but an important advantage gained over one of his wings on the 26th November (the particulars of which will be given to morrow) and the dispositions made by the French, leave him no prospect but that of an ultimate surrender. His death is not mentioned. Three bulletins of the army of Italy and others of the grand army, will be translated for to-morrow's Gazette.
The ways of Providence are inscrutable! To have entertained the notion, a few years back, that Germany, one of the most warlike and powerful nations in Europe, would be conquered by France, would have been sufficient to have branded any man as a fool; and but a few months since it would have entitled the person to an epithet scarcely less harsh, who should have predicted the downfall of Vienna before Christmas. The bulletins in this day's Gazette, however, enforce our text. Bonaparte has not only taken Vienna, but he has given a civil and military government to Austria, which he terms a province —not only has he captured the capitals of Hungary, of Bohemia and of Moravia—but these provinces , also, in the most abject manner deprecate all opposition to his arms, and sue for his mercy! Where his victorious career is to stop, is as difficult to be defined now, as before he left his camp at Boulogne. Russia is humbled, and Germany appears to be almost blotted out of the list of nations; and that fate which she had anticipated for Turkey and Spain, has first fallen to her own lot.
In the book of Bulletins , of 150 pages, (for it is not a file of newspapers) which we have been politely furnished with, there are no editorial remarks or other local articles, except the following, which bears the last date, and which we consider as official as the bulletins themselves:
Translations for the FEDERAL GAZETTE.
PARIS, December 2.
M. de Stadion, late minister from the emperor of Germany at the court of Russia, and M. the lieutenant general count de Giulay, have been presented to his majesty the emperor of the French at Brunn, as plenipotentiaries of his majesty the emperor of Germany: They are invested with powers to negotiate, conclude and sign a definitive treaty of peace between France and Austria. On his side, the emperor of the French has nominated M. de Talleyrand, (his minister for foreign relations,) whom he has invested with powers to that effect. It is to be hoped that peace will be the result of their negotiations; but this ought not to diminish in the least the zeal of the soldiers or of the nation; it is, on the contrary, a new motive for the conscripts to accelerate their march, in order to justify that well known adage, Si vis pacem para bellum . His majesty has given orders to the ministers of war and of the interior to relax nothing in their preparations.
Twenty-second Bulletin of the Grand Army.
ST. POLTEN, November 13.
Marshal Soult has followed up his success. The whole corps of Meerfeldt is destroyed. That general saved himself with an officer of Hulons. General Marmont is at Leoben. He there made prisoners of 100 cavalry.
Prince Murat has been these three days within half a league of Vienna.
All the Austrian troops have evacuated that city. The national guard perform duty there and are in high spirits.
This day the French troops made their entry into that capital. The Russians refused every opportunity which was offered them to engage in battle, on the heights of St. Polten, (St. Hypolite.) They crossed the Danube at Krems and immediately after their passage burnt the bridge, which was a very fine structure.
The 11th at day-break, marshal Mortier, at the head of six battalions, fixed himself at Stein, expecting there to find a rear guard; but the whole Russian army was still there. Then commenced the battle of Diernstein, which will be forever memorable in military annals. From 6 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon, these 4000 brave men opposed the Russian army, and put to route every thing opposed to them. Masters of the village, of Loiben, they believe the day finished; but the enemy irritated having lost 10 stand of colours, 6 pieces of cannon, 900 men prisoners and 2000 killed had given a different direction to their troops by forced marches, in order to flank the French. As soon as marshal Mortier perceived this manœuvre, he marched directly to the troops which had filed off and attacked them at the same time that the 9th regiment light infantry, and 32d of the line, having charged another Russian corps, had put it to flight, taking two standards and 400 men.
This has been a bloody day. Dead bodies covered the whole field of battle. More than 4000 Russians have been killed or wounded; 1300 have been made prisoners; among the latter, two colonels. On our side the loss has been considerable. The 4th and 8th light infantry have suffered most. The colonels of the 100th and 103d have been slightly wounded. Col. Wattier of the 4th regt. of dragoons has been killed. His majesty had chosen him for one of his aids. He was a brave officer. In spite of the disadvantages of his position, he made a brilliant resistance against a Russian column but he was struck with a ball and died in the midst of the battle. It seems that the Russians retired without bidding good-bye!
The emperor of Germany, the empress, the minister and court, are at Brunn, in Moravia. All the nobility have quit Vienna, but the citizens have remained. They expect the emperor Alexander at Brunn on his return from Berlin.
General count de Guilay has been the bearer of many dispatches between the emperors of France and Germany. The emperor of Germany will no doubt agree to a peace, as soon as he can obtain the assent of the emperor of Russia.—In the mean time the discontent of the people is extreme. They say at Vienna and in all the provinces of the Austrian monarchy, that they are badly governed. That for the sole interest of England they have been dragged into an unjust and ruinous war—that they have inundated Germany with Barbarians, a thousand times more destructive than all the horrors of war united; that their finances are in the greatest

disorder; that public and private credit are ruined by their great quantity of paper money, which is at a discount of fifty per cent. That they had misfortunes enough before, without adding to them the horrors of war.
The Hungarians complain of an illiberal government which offers nothing to encourage their industry, and which shews a constant jealousy of their privileges and a constant distrust of their national spirit. In Hungary as well as in Austria, in Vienna as well as in all the other cities, the people are convinced that the emperor Napoleon has wished only for peace, and that he is the friend of all nations and of every noble sentiment. The English are the perpetual objects of the curses, of all the subjects of the emperor of Germany and of their universal hatred. Is it not then time that princes should listen to the voice of the people, and that they should endeavor to arrest the fatal influence of the English oligarchy?
Since the passage of the Inn the grand army has made in the different skirmishes which have taken place, about ten thousand prisoners. If the Russian army had waited the arrival of the French, it would have been destroyed. Several corps of the army are pursuing the Russians with great vigor.
The two proclamations of which the following are translations, were published at Vienna on the 10th and 12th inst.
PROCLAMATION. "Since the decree of his excellency, the commissary of the court established in Lower Austria, the public are informed, that for the preservation of peace and order in the interior, it has been decreed that a certain number of armed citizens, comprising the nobles as well as the members of the academy of fine arts, and other individuals who have means of putting themselves in a condition of appearing in arms, shall always be ready to perform any services which may be required of them. [Here follows the places appointed for parades.] When the muster roll is called the trumpets shall be sounded twice at each place of parade. The citizens of each section shall repair to their post with their arms, and there wait for orders. It is strictly forbidden any persons except the citizen soldiers, to appear on the public places when the trumpets shall be sounded. Any person who shall contravene this order shall be arrested by the patroles and delivered up to the police. Measures have likewise been taken to put all the sick and poor who have not the means of subsistence into the city hospital in order to be taken care of."
Brave inhabitants of Vienna! will you thank me for the wisdom of those measures which are taken for the good of your country. The magistracy will concur in their execution with the same sentiments which have always actuated them. We expect every thing from the inhabitants of this city, who have always distinguished themselves in every situation.
(Signed) The Vice-Burgomaster. Dated, Vienna, Nov. 11.
NOTIFICATION. His imperial majesty, who according to the promise which he made to the respectable states of Hungary, has designed to close the diet, has been prevented by intervening circumstances from returning to Vienna before going to Brunn, agreeably to his first determination. But in the mean time, it is possible the French imperial troops may enter Vienna. Experience has proved that they observe a strict discipline and disregard the dangers of war. Should this take place he expects that his people will remain quiet and conduct themselves with decorum. I recommend it to each one in particular; and his majesty our sovereign far from expecting a zeal which might only compromise the lives and property of his subjects, would punish severely the least disorder, not only because he himself has declined defending his own capital, but because he entertains a most gracious solicitude for the welfare of its inhabitants.
(Signed) Rodolphe, Compte Wrba, Commissary of the court. VIENNA, Nov. 12.
Twenty-third Bulletin of the Grand Army.
From the castle of Schobrunn, 14th Nov. At the battle of Durnstein, where 4000 French attacked on the 11th, between 25 and 30,000 Russians, kept their position, killed between 3 and 4000 men, captured their colors and made 1200 prisoners; the 4th and 9th regiments of light infantry, and the 100th and 32d regiments of infantry of the line, covered themselves with glory. General Gazan there displayed great valor and good conduct. The Russians
the day after the battle evacuated Kien, and quitted the Danube, leaving 1500 prisoners in the utmost distress. They found on the road many men who had been wounded and died during the night. The intention of the Russians seems to have been, to have waited at Kien for reinforcements, and to have established themselves on the Danube; but the battle of Durnstein has disconcerted their plans. They have seen by what 4000 Frenchmen could do, what they might expect when contending against equal numbers.
Marshal Mortier pursued the Russians, while another corps of the army passed the Danube by the bridge of Vienna, to intercept them to the right, and the corps of marshal Bernadotte marched to intercept them on the left. Yesterday the 13th, at 10th A. M. prince Murat passed thro' Vienna. At the break of day a column of cavalry established themselves on the bridge of the Danube, and passed it after several conferences with the Austrian commanders. The engineers who had orders to burn the bridge attempted it several times, but were unable to succeed. Marshal Lannes and general Bertrand, aid de camp of the Emperor, were the first to cross the bridge. The troops did not stop in Vienna, but continued their destined route.
Prince Murat has established his head quarters at the house of duke Albert. Duke Albert has done much for the city. Many quarters wanted water. He introduced it at his own expence, and is well known to have spent great sums on this object. Great quantities of ammunition and artillery were found in Vienna, an account of which is herewith annexed. The house of Austria has no arsenal or foundry except in Vienna. The Austrians have not had time to carry off above a fifth or fourth of their artillery or any thing else of consequence. We have warlike stores sufficient for 4 campaigns, and to renew our artillery equipage four times if we should lose it. We have also provisions against a siege, for a great number of places. The emperor has established himself at Schönbrunn. He went to day to Vienna, at two o'clock in the morning. He passed the rest of the night in visiting the advanced posts on the left bank of the Danube, as well as the positions, and to satisfy himself that every duty was well performed. He returned to Schönbrunn at break of day. The weather has become delightful. This day is one of the finest of the winter, though cold. Commercial and all other transactions go on at Vienna in the usual way. The inhabitants are full of confidence and perfectly at their ease. The population of this city is about 250,000 souls. It is not supposed to have diminished above 10,000 by the departure of the court and nobility.
The emperor received at noon M. De Witte, who is now placed at the head of the administration of all Austria.
The corps of marshal Soult passed through Vienna this morning at 9 o'clock. That of marshal Davoust is marching through it at this moment. General Marmont has gained different trifling advantages at Leoben, with his advanced posts.
The Bavarian army receives great reinforcements every day. The emperor has just made some fresh presents to the elector. He has given him 15,000 stand of arms taken in Vienna, and has restored to him all the artillery which Austria had at different periods taken from the states of Bavaria.
The city of Kuffstein has capitulated to colonel Pompe.
General Minaud has driven the enemy on the road to Brunn as far as Volkersdorff. To day at noon he had made 600 prisoners, and taken a park of 40 pieces of artillery, complete.
Marshal Lannes arrived at 2, P. M. at Stockerau. He there found an immense magazine of clothing, 100,000 pair of shoes and boots, and cloth enough to make great coats for the whole army. They have also taken many boats which were descending the Danube with artillery, leather and clothing.
[The bulletin here goes on to give a particular inventory of 1,547 pieces of cannon, 475 mortars, 109,292 muskets and carbines; a great number of swords and pistols; an immense quantity of powder, cannon, musket and pistol balls, flints, lead, and many other military stores.]
HEAD QUARTERS, Vienna, Nov. 13. ORDER OF THE DAY.
The Emperor testifies his satisfaction to the 4th regiment of light infantry; to the 100th of the line; to the 9th of light infantry, and to the 32d of the line, for the intrepidity which they displayed at the battle of Durnstein, where their bravery in preserving the position which they occupied, obliged the enemy to quit that which he held on the Danube. His majesty also signifies his approbation to the 9th regiment of the line, and to the 30th, which at the battle of Lambach, made a stand against the rear guard of the Russians, and not only gave the first blow, but made 400 prisoners. His majesty further expresses his satisfaction to the grenadiers of Oudinot, who at the battle of Amstetten, drove the Russian and Austrian corps from their strong and commanding position, and made 1500 prisoners, of whom 600 were Russians. His majesty is satisfied with the 1st, 16th, and 22d regiment of Chasseurs, and with the 9th and 10th regiments of hussars, for their good conduct in all the skirmishes which took place from the Inn to the gates of Vienna, and for the 800 Russian prisoners made at Stein.
Prince Murat, marshal Lannes, the reserve of cavalry, and their corps of the army, entered Vienna the 13th Nov. made themselves masters the same day of the bridge over the Danube, prevented it from
being burnt, paused it immediately, and put to flight the Russian army. We found in Vienna more than 2000 pieces of cannon, 100,000 guns, ammunition of every kind, in fine, every kind of equipage, necessary for 3 or 4 armies. The people of Vienna seemed to receive the army with friendship.
The emperor decrees, that the property of the people of this capital shall be held sacred, and that they shall be treated with the greatest respect, for they have beheld with sorrow, the unjust war which has been carried on against us, and they testify by their conduct as much friendship for us, as they entertain hatred for the Russians; a people, who by their savage and barbarous manners, ought to be detested by every civilized nation.

Extract of a letter, dated Montego Bay, Jam. Dec. 16, 1805.
"Now, my dear friend, why did you not follow the advice contained in mine of the month of July and August, and have shipped lumber, beef, staves, pork, fish, candles, soap and butter for this place (you can't do it now) from the governor's wisdom in stopping the trade to America. The above recited articles bear the following incredible prices: flour 35 dollars, beef pork and salt fish at the rate of 50 cents per lb. none by the barrel to be got, candles and soap 56 cents, butter per firkin 75 cents, cheese at the rate of 100 cts. American, English 150 cents, hams 22 1-2, staves 135 dols. cash per th. which cost you about 30 or 36 dollars. lumber, none to be got for love or money; what will be the fate of this devoted place I cannot tell; the planters are in a desperate state; they have the enormous duty of fourteen shillings 6d. sterling per gal. on their rum to pay, also 36s. sterling per 100lbs. on their sugar, to the mother country, exclusive of the island duties, and yet are not allowed to provide themselves with those necessary articles of life from a neighboring country, and from whom they can be procured on the best terms; but as soon as general Sir E. Coote comes out, and who is expected by the first fleet, I hope he will conciliate the confidence and favour of the people of this island, open the trade, for to my knowledge the British provinces in America are not capable of furnishing this island, much less all the rest of them with provisions and lumber, as it has been proved here that they can supply this island throughout the year, with more than one month's supply of their consumption. Let ministers remember the repeated remonstrances of America, and press these most loyal subjects no more, for they are indeed oppressed, and as to firmness and loyalty, I dare affirm the king has no subjects in all his dominions that exceed the inhabitants of Jamaica, for I perceived it during last martial law."

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
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 taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General 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 medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forculus 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 complicated 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 his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's
GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is 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 other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar 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 stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obstinate gleet,    Fluorbus (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT 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 preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, 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 letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh 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 cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed 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 dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, to commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and
being suited to every age a constitution, and also 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, without 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 humors 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 Ascarides, 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; it is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—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 unhealthy 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 attended 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 total complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary 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 Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and length, 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 conceived, but by one in a similar situation—his appetite was 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 about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered his first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which refused 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 mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
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 accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless 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 appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite replete 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 complexion. Upon different occasions, I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which I judge this medicine 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.

WAS committed to the jail of this county, as a runaway, on the 30th of November last, a Negro man who calls himself MARK THOMAS, about forty-five or fifty years old, about five feet ten inches high and stout built. The said Negro says that he is a native of S. Jago, and that he came into this country with the French at the time of the siege of Little York—and that after quitting the French, he entered into the employ of Minnion Wife and Thomas White, with whom he learned the stone-mason's trade, on Rappahannock, near Port Royal, he then went into the employment of Pope Williams and Charles Williams, and went with them to build a mill on Goose creek for Joseph Jefferson, and from there to a place called Pigeon Hill, in Pennsylvania, and that he has worked at Millwood and many other places in the country. He has with him a variety of clothing, amongst which are a blue broadcloth coat, a pair of black velvet breeches, corduroy pantaloons, a calico jacket, and a good great coat. The owner if any is requested to come prove his property, pay charges and take him away, or he will be dealt with according to law, by Daniel Bradley, Jailor. February 6. 12W

WAS committed to the Jail of said county as a runaway, on the 22d day of November, 1805, a Negro man who calls himself BEEVERLY JAMES, and that he was bought out of Mr. Carter Braxton's estate in King William county, Virginia, by Mr. James Ham, and carried by him to the city of New York, and left by him in the service of Mr. William Roe, until he came of age, after which he was liberated and returned to the city of Richmond, where he was put in jail as a runaway and then sold for his jail fees to a Mr. Brown, with whom he served his time out, a few miles from the town. He is about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 4 inches high and stout built—his clothing is a pair of leather colored breeches and a round jacket and cap, all much worn and defaced.

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the mill, the ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lully and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Causin, at Port Tobacco. G. B. Causin.
