SATURDAY, JUNE 13.
LAST PROCEEDINGS.
TRIAL OF COL. AARON BURR.
Tuesday, June 9.
The same judges were present as yesterday.
The grand jury had been adjourned till 2 o'clock. About three, they all appeared, and their names being called over.
Mr. Hay observed, it might be proper to inform the court, that he had received no further intelligence of general Wilkinson, except what was contained in the little scrap of paper in his hand. It was an extract from a Norfolk paper, and he believed the latest which had been published, the gentleman from that part of the country could say whether it was or not:— (Mr. Hay here read an extract from the "Public Ledger" of the 5th inst.)
This extract only proves, continued Mr. Hay that general Wilkinson had not left New Orleans in the early part of May. My information therefore was not altogether correct: The express whom Mr. Millikin met, had not travelled with the same expedition, nor arrived at New Orleans as early as I had expected. Perhaps he did not reach that city before the 9th or 10th of May. We have evidence however to prove that a summons had been sent to him. This fact completely shows that he was at New Orleans. My hope are therefore stronger, that he actually received the summons and I have no the smallest doubt that he will soon arrive here. The court will recollect, that from the calculation which I had submitted to them, I concluded that he could not be here before the 14th or 15th. It is my most anxious wish for the sake of economy, of expedition, and what is of still greater consequence, the justice due to the country and the accused, that this trial should be completed during the present term. Almost all the witnesses are here. I am sorry to be forced to make so many apologies to the grand jury, who have already manifested so much patience; but I beg them to recollect, the extreme importance of the present trial and that it will perhaps be the last time that they are placed in this situation.
The Chief Justice presumed that the mail from Norfolk would not arrive here, until the day after to-morrow.
Mr. Hay said it had arrived the day before.
Mr. Martin I have an extract from another Norfolk paper one day later, than the one quoted by the attorney: (Mr. M. here read an extract from the "Norfolk Herald" of the 6th inst.)
The ship news in the same paper states that the Hannah had left New Orleans 27 days before.
Mr. Hay. If these are different vessels.
Mr. Martin. The same vessel, sir.
Mr. Hay. These vessels may convey some intelligence to Washington respecting gen. Wilkinson, which may consequently reach ourselves.
Mr. Burr. I hope, sir, it will not be understood, from the observations of my friend, Mr. Martin, that I mean to take any part in this business. I shall certainly not interfere with the grand jury in this stage of the affair. The proposition of the gentleman has my cordial concurrence.
The Chief Justice observed that if the jury were adjourned till Thursday, some passenger might, perhaps, arrive in the next Norfolk mail, with some intelligence about general Wilkinson.
Mr. Hay presumed, that the jury would not probably be wanting before Saturday.
Mr. Burr hoped that the jury would be adjourned for as short a time as possible: at all events no longer than Thursday.
Chief Justice. This is Tuesday. The attorney for the United States cannot probably expect general Wilkinson before Thursday, if he comes by water.
Mr. Hay knew not how he was to come. If by water he certainly could not be expected before that time: and if by land he would certainly require one day to recover from the fatigue of traveling.
The Chief Justice then observed to the grand jury that they were adjourned till Thursday 10 o'clock.
Mr. Burr then addressed the court.— There was a proposition which he wished to submit to them. In the president's communication to congress, he speaks of a letter and other papers which he received from Mr. Wilkinson, under date of 21st October. Circumstances had now rendered it material that the whole of this letter should be produced in court.
And further: It has already appeared to the court, in the course of different examinations, that the government have attempted to infer certain intentions on my part from certain transactions. It becomes necessary, therefore, that these transactions should be accurately stated. It was, therefore, material to show in what circumstances I was placed in the Mississippi territory: and of course to obtain certain orders of the army and the navy which were issued respecting me. I have seen the order of the navy in print; and one of the officers of the navy had assured me that this transcript was correct. The instructions in this order were, to destroy my person and my property, in descending the Mississippi. Now I wish, if possible, to authenticate this statement; and it was for this purpose, when I passed through Washington lately, that I addressed myself to Mr. Robert Smith. That gentleman seemed to admit the propriety of my application, but objected to my course. He informed me that if I would apply to him through one of my counsel, there could be no difficulty in granting the object of my application. I have since applied in this manner to Mr. S. but without success. Hence I feel it necessary to resort to the authority of this court; to call upon them to issue a subpoena to the president of the U. S. with a clause requiring him to produce certain papers: or in other words, to issue the subpoena duces tecum . The attorney for the U. S. will however save the time of this court if he will consent to produce the letter of the 21st Oct. with the accompanying papers, and also authentic orders of the navy and war departments.
Mr. Randolph observed, that he knew not whether it was necessary for him to support col. B's motion; that he had been informed by him of his application thro' a friend to Mr. Smith; and of Mr. S's refusing to grant the application, unless it were made through one of his counsel: that he had himself, therefore, addressed a letter to Mr. S. informing him of col. B's statement. To this he had received a letter, which seemed like a personal communication to himself, but as he had not requested him to withhold it from col. Burr, and as it contained information material to him, he had shown it to col. B. Mr. R. regretted that he had not the letter then about him: but that the substance of it was, that the order which had been alluded to was only for the officer to whom it had been addressed, and was to be seen only by him. He added, that he had written in reply to Mr. S. that he would never have applied to him for it but for two reasons, that it had already appeared in a Natchez Gazette; and that Mr. Van Ness (the friend of col. B.) had informed him of Mr. S's unconditional promise to furnish the order if he was properly applied to for it.
Mr. Burr observed that to avoid all possible misconception, he thought it proper to state, that Mr. Van Ness had assured him of Mr. Smith's positive and unqualified promise to furnish the answer, if applied to through counsel.
Mr. Hay declared he knew not for what this information could be wanted or to what purpose such evidence could relate, and whether it was to be used on a motion for commitment or on the trial.
Mr. Burr, Mr. Wickham, and Mr. Martin observed that perhaps on both; according as circumstances might require.
Mr. Hay. I suppose this court will not proceed but upon facts. Now a letter of the 21st of October is spoken of; but has this letter yet been identified? He hoped that the court would not issue the subpoena duces tecum , until they were satisfied that they had the authority to issue it, and that the information required, was material in the present case.
Mr. Wickham observed that the present was simply intended as a notice of a motion to be brought before the court; which motion might be discussed to-day or to-morrow.
Mr. Hay declared that all delay was unnecessary; but he pledged himself if possible to obtain the papers which were wanted, and not only those but every paper which might be necessary to the elucidation of the case.
Chief Justice observed that all delay was obviously improper, that if the papers were wanted they ought to be obtained as soon as possible; and not perhaps delay the ulterior stages of the prosecution.
Mr. Hay stated that he had already received a communication from Mr. Wickham on this subject; and intended to have informed him, that he would write for all the papers which were wanted, and he had no doubt he should obtain them, if the court judged them material. The fact was that he had already in possession Mr. Ran-
dolph's correspondence with Mr. Smith, and the order from the navy department—but in his own opinion they no more related to the present prosecution, than the first paragraph of the 1st page of the acts of congress.
Chief Justice enquired whether the Natchez Gazette was in court.
Mr. Burr. No sir—but I have already seen the same order in other papers and have no doubt but that almost every person has. At Natchez it was a subject of surprise that such an order had ever found its way into a public print.
Mr. Hay repeated that if the gentleman would furnish him with a list of such papers as they wanted, he would attempt to obtain them, if the court thought them material. Of what use were they? Were they to be laid before the grand jury, to distract their attention; and to present under another point of view another subject for their consideration? He had supposed that the mass of matter to be laid before them was large enough already.
Chief Justice observed that it was impossible to determine their use, without hearing them. He would much rather that the opposite counsels should make an arrangement with each other suitable to them both—and that the court was not now disposed to make any arrangement. But if the parties could not come to any agreement, he should then wish to hear some arguments on the subject to satisfy him, whether the court had the right to issue a subpoena duces tecum .
Mr. Burr observed that he had been told that it was the constant practice in this state to issue such subpoenas upon the application of a party.
Chief Justice had no doubt it was the custom to do it, where there was no great inconvenience to the party summoned; that it seldom occurred; but that he was inclined to think, where great inconveniences would result to the party summoned, that the materiality of his testimony should be fully shown. If papers are to be obtained from a clerk's office, such a subpoena may be issued, and though not upon affidavit, yet where there has been good cause shown.
Mr. Martin said, that there would be no inconvenience; as the president might just transmit the papers wanted by the mail.
Mr. Hay observed, that Mr. Martin's remark superseded any further proceeding; why apply to the court to issue a subpoena to the president, unless perhaps it was the necessary form for obtaining the papers?
Chief Justice. The reason is that in case of a refusal to send the papers, the officer himself may be present to show cause. This subpoena is issued only where fears of this sort are entertained.
Mr. Hay said, that no application had yet been made to the secretary of state for gen. W's letter, nor to the department of war for its order.
Mr. Martin. If one department refuses, we may presume that the others will.
Mr. Burr. If the gentleman grants our demand, he may propose any alteration in its form that he pleases.
Mr. Randolph. If any arrangement can be made to obtain these papers, we would rather that it should be a voluntary act on the part of the government.
Mr. Hay. I will attempt to obtain these papers—any, in fact, that gentlemen may want, if the court will but say they are material.
Mr. Wickham. Col. B's counsel knows little of the importance of these papers but from himself; and from that they are fully persuaded of their great importance. The attorney for the U. S. says, that so far as his personal exertions will go, he will attempt to obtain them, and firmly believes that his application will be successful. But, sir, at Washington they may entertain very different views from himself; under such circumstances, it is better to encounter the delay of three or four days to obtain the authority of this court, than trust to an expedient which may be unavailing. But I see no necessity for any such delay; as the order may at once issue by consent of parties. As to the order from the navy department, a copy may be sufficient; the original is already gone out. As to Wilkinson's letter, we wish to see itself here; and surely it may be trusted in the hands of the attorney for the U. S.
Mr. Hay. It seems then that copies of papers from the government of the U. S. will not be received. They are not to be trusted. After such an observation, sir, I retract every thing that I have promised. Let gentlemen, sir, take their own course.
Here some warm, desultory conversation took place at the bar, when
Mr. Wickham observed, that as the unfortunate expression fell from him; he thought it proper to explain. He had intended no
insinuation against the fairness of the government; that the distinction he had drawn between an original and a copy simply resulted from his anxiety to obtain the highest possible degree of evidence; hence he preferred the original to the copy; that if Wilkinson was here it would be necessary to meet him with his own letter; perhaps in no other way.
Mr. Hay. That explanation removes the difficulty.
Mr. Wickham. We wish to confront him with his own letter.
Mr. Hay. Perhaps they may not be able to remove the original, as it is already filed in the department of state.
Mr. Martin. We are ready to go on with the discussion.
Mr. Wickham. The president's message mentioned, that this was a letter to himself.
Mr. Hay. I hope the court will remember that remark. The letter these gentlemen then want is addressed to Thomas Jefferson. Have they a right to demand any but public letters?
Mr. Martin. The president's message said, it was addressed to him as president of the U. S.
Mr. Hay. If it be a public letter, it is of course deposited in the department of state. I have no objection, since this insinuation has been removed, to repeating my promise to apply for these papers, if the court thinks them material; and when the business arrives at the proper stage, they may then be produced. I hope that no more time will be wasted in these preliminary stages; and that such arrangements may be adopted as will prevent this useless consumption of time and of bread.
Mr. Randolph had no reason to believe that there had been more delay on his side, than on the other; that if time was to be consumed at all, more would be employed in removing greater difficulties than had already been done; that he however only hinted at this now. He declared with Mr. Wickham his perfect concurrence in this measure.
Mr. Botts. Unanimously so, I am sure. Sir, I cannot sit down and hear complaints so unnecessarily repeated about the waste of time. 'Tis time, sir, to be done with them; 'tis time that we should enjoy something like the liberty of speech. Mr. Hay makes, I think, about a dozen times as many speeches as any other gentleman; and each speech longer than those of other persons; and yet we cannot open our mouths, without his sounding loudly his complaints to the ears of this hall. On this case of unequalled magnitude, shall we not be suffered to declare our opinions, without this unnecessary complaint about the consumption of the court's time? We feel the magnitude of our duties, and we shall firmly discharge them, in spite of Mr. Hay. It is obvious to you, sir, and to every body, that the delay is not with us. If, sir, you call for an argument we are ready to proceed. But if you are satisfied—
Chief Justice. If the attorney for the United States is satisfied that this court has a right to issue the subpoena duces tecum , I—
Mr. Hay. I am not, sir.
Chief Justice. I am not prepared to give an opinion on this point; and therefore I must call for an argument.
Mr. Hay. When I said that there had been a great consumption of time, I certainly did not mean to insinuate, that they only consumed it. I have certainly had my full proportion. I thought however that my proposition would have saved some time: and I am still willing to repeat my promise.
Mr. Randolph. That the court may understand us, I will read to them the form of the subpoena which we wish to obtain. (Here Mr. Randolph read the sketch before him.)
Mr. Botts. We will be under the direction of the court, whether we shall proceed in the argument, to-day or to-morrow.
Chief Justice. Unquestionably there must be an argument if the attorney for the United States disputes the authority of the court.
Mr. Hay. Whatever other gentlemen may think on this subject, I have not the least doubt but these papers will be produced: because Mr. Robert Smith has voluntarily furnished me with the order of the Navy Department. But although I may procure these papers, let it be distinctly understood, that I shall object to their being unnecessarily produced.
Mr. Botts. It will take 4 days at least to interchange letters between this city and Washington, and 2 or 3 days to copy the papers. So that 6 days will be totally lost to us—In the mean time, 3 or 4 witnesses, and 16 grand jurymen (they might perhaps require them) would be de-

ained here; and after all, the attorney's application to the government might be unavailing. Mr. Hay. Since then gentlemen, sir, will press this subject, I ask no more than that they will wave this discussion till tomorrow. The court was then adjourned till tomorrow, 11 o'clock.
From the RICHMOND ENQUIRER. TRIAL OF COL. AARON BURR. Circuit Court of the United States for the fifth Circuit and District of Virginia. Present JOHN MARSHALL, chief Justice of the United States, And CYRUS GRIFFIN, judge of the district of Virginia. Wednesday, May 27.
(Mr. Batts' speech concluded) I have alluded to legal propositions, intended to be pressed, as forming legal restrictions upon the task in which we are engaged. I will first combine them, that their fitness to each other, and their collective effect, may be seen. My second process will be to disunite them, and by an analytical comparison of them, with the known principle of our treason laws, to ascertain their legality.
No evidence of any matter ought to be given until proof shall be adduced that there was an actual war levied in the district of Virginia; and until it is proved that an overt act of treason, in that war, was done by col. Burr—which proof shall be by two witnesses at least.
First: It must be proved that there was an actual war. A war consists wholly in acts and not in intentions. The acts must be in themselves acts of war; and if they be noted intrinsically, words or intentions cannot make them so. In England, when conspiring the death of the king was treason, the quo animo formed the essence of the offence; but in America, the national convention, has confined treason to the act. We cannot have a constructive war, within the meaning of the constitution. An intention to levy war, is not evidence that a war was levied. Intentions are always mutable and variable. The continuance of guilty intentions is not to be presumed. If his were not the case, the avowal of a purpose to levy war would fix the crime: For a proved intention might be attached to the next innocent act of the person who formed it; and so preparations of emigration be turned into a levying of war.
It has been eloquently declared that war cannot exist in a closet or corner; but when levied it must be in the face of the world. This cannot be true, if the recesses of the bosom are to be explored for any of the ingredients in the composition of the crime of levying war. The guilty intention must be made manifest from the act alone.
Gen. Wilkinson professes to know nothing but of intentions which are not evidence of act.
2dly. The war must not only have been levied, but colonel Burr must be proved to have committed an overt act of treason in that war. A treasonable intention to co-operate is no evidence of an actual co-operation. The acts of others, even if in pursuance of his plan, would be no evidence against him. It might not be necessary that he should be present perhaps; but he must be, at the time of levying the war, co-operating by acts; or in the language of the constitution, be committing overt acts. The acts of associates in a treasonable plan, in countries where the doctrine of constructive war prevails, can never be given in evidence against the accused until after the plan has been proved on the latter, and until such acts shall appear to have been within the limits of that plan, 1 East's Power Law 96-97. Part of the proof in this affidavit is of the declarations of a supposed associate as to what the plan itself was.—But in this country, as there cannot be a constructive treasonable war, plans and acts of associates can only come in, when the former has been executed and the latter has been visibly and publicly assisted. Vol. 4, Tucker's Black. Appendix B.
3dly. The overt act by the accused in an actual war must not only be proved, but it must be proved to have been committed within this district. The 3d article of the constitution of the U. S. and the 8th article of the amendments to the constitution, require that the trial shall be by a jury of the district where the offence was committed. The oath of the grand jury is accordingly to enquire of offences within the district.
The jurisdiction of this court is also limited by express law to offences within the district, and it is obviously true that the courts' jurisdiction cannot be broader in an incipient enquiry, than it would be in its connection with a jury on a final trial. Dr. Blackstone, in the 4th volume of his commentaries, 303, refers to the oath of the grand jury "to enquire into offences committed within the body of the county, and denies the right of the grand jury to enquire into facts out of the county. In preparing a work for the grand jury the court cannot disregard the limits of their power.
The crime to be committed in the district must be wholly committed there. At the common law, if the stroke was given in one country and the person stricken died in another, the murderer could not be prosecuted in either. To remedy this defect and to provide for others similar to it, many provisions have been made by the English parliament, 4 Black. 303-4-5. But the English parliament never did alter the common law as it respected the crime of levying an actual treasonable war, Kelyng 15. The constitution and act of congress have both adopted the rule of location, V. Tucker's Blackstone 4 vol. Appendix B. 49-50-51. Granting then, that intention may make that war which would not otherwise be so, still as a formed intention, is no proof of its own continuance or execution, the intention must be proved to have been contemporaneous & homogeneous with the act in the district. In this view the intention forms a constituent part of the offence. If one constituent part of the offence can be brought from without the district, and coupled with others in the district, any one constituent part, or number of constituent parts of the crime may be brought from without the district. Then one component part only happens in Virginia out of 100 necessary to its completion would give the court jurisdiction—and thence one out of 100 parts of a crime would be a crime within the meaning of the constitution. Let us view the consequence of this logic.
Upon proof against col. Burr touching a crime, part of which was committed in this district, he may be tried and acquitted. In Ohio he may be indicted, and evidence may be prepared touching the same crime. Can he plead autrefois acquit in bar, by avowing that the crimes charged in the two states was one and the same? His averment would be against the record of the indictment charging a compleat separate crime in each district. Will you, sir, put upon the constitution such a construction as will subject a citizen to be hunted down, by trial after trial, in state after state, as long as the persecuting spirit of a wicked executive may last? Do not understand me to allude, in this, to the present administration, the characters of which I have been in the habit of admiring; but the construction now to be fixed must go down to posterity, and may be made instrumental in effecting the worst of state oppressions.
Remember that col. Burr has forborne to avail himself of this legal principle in Kentucky and in the Mississippi territory in order that the merits of his case might come before the inquests; but it ought now to be agreed that he should protect himself from being harassed further by calling into exercise the great principle of the constitution declaring that no man shall be twice put in jeopardy of his life for the same offence. W. amendments to constitution.
Now what part of the affidavit speaks of a fact within the district?
4thly: The overt act of treason by col. Burr within the district must be proved by two witnesses.
The constitution and act of congress require two witnesses, not only to the act, but to the treasonable quality of the act. After full time has been afforded to collect all the witnesses in the power of the government, the accused ought not to be deprived of his liberty, unless it was believed that the evidence collected would convict him. Imprisonment is only intended for trial and not for punishment.—What does general Wilkinson's affidavit make out intentions by. The answer is by the confessions of the accused or of his supposed associates. The confession of the accused by the express words of the constitution, are not evidence, unless made in open court. Confessions are often admitted, from necessity to get at crimes that deal in secrecy, as larceny, forgery and robbery; but the safety of the people requires that crimes which deal in publicity, as does the crime of treasonable war, should not be proved by evidence so incapable of exculpatory proof. When an honorable gentleman, (Mr. Giles) was challenged the other day upon a suggestion of his having expressed himself upon the case of the accused, he said he was indisposed to hear evidence of unguarded expressions in which
the witness might have mistaken his meaning; have misunderstood what he said or not have heard all that he said—or have substituted his own inferences for the words of the speaker. Blackstone and Foster have characterised it to be the most dangerous species of evidence, ever liable to misconstruction and abuse. But if the constitution has proscribed it why now question its exclusion. If the confessions of the accused, out of court, could not be evidence against him, could the confessions of real accomplices be evidence against him? Yet the evidence of Wilkinson relates, in part, to the confession of pretended accomplices no way proved to have been authorised by col. Burr to say or do any thing.
But why, it may be asked, is colonel Burr afraid to hear illegal evidence, if he is consciously innocent.
We see witnesses from different, and distant parts of the United States, whose names, faces and characters, are alike unknown to Col. Burr. He cannot ascertain upon what parts of his life or conduct they are expected to speak, or upon what information their evidence may rest. His character has long been on public torture; and wherever that happens with either a good or a bad man, the impulses to false testimony are numerous. Some times men emerge from the sinks of vice and obscurity into patronage and distinction by circulating interesting tales, as all those of the most various kinds are—others from expectations of office and reward volunteer; while timidity in a third class, seeks to guard against the apprehended danger, by magnifying trifling stories of alarm. These works of exaggeration and propagation are frequently the subjects of idle amusement. The authors, until they commit themselves, have no just conception of the mischiefs they are hatching; but when they are afterwards called to give testimony, perjury will not appal them, if it be necessary to save their reputations for consistency or veracity. If the evidence be restricted within the legal limits, the purest of characters under accusation of treason, will have hazard enough to run. A judge whose experience of these dangers was great thus speaks on the subject: "The rule of rejecting all manner of evidence in criminal prosecutions, that is foreign to the point in issue, is founded on sense and common justice. For no man is bound, at the peril of life or liberty, fortune or reputation, to answer at once and unprepared, for every action of his life." Few, even of the best of men, would choose to be just to it. And had not those concerned in the state prosecutions, out of their zeal for the public service, sometimes, stepped over this rule in the case of treason, it would, perhaps, have been needless to have made an express provision against it in that case. Foster's C. L. 246.
[Debate to be continued]
NEW-YORK, June 10. The Paris papers received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser by the Calypso from Bordeaux, are to the 14th of April, inclusive. They contain no later news from the armies than we have heretofore received: but they furnish intelligence from Turkey which sets aside the report of the English having taken the Dardanelles; and as this is the only article of consequence, we have confined our translations to whatever relates to it.
Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser. GERMANY.
VIENNA, April 2. The Court Gazette of yesterday, contained the following article relative to Turkey:
"Admiral Duckworth having passed 9 days before Constantinople, and the negotiations between his Britannic majesty's ambassador Arbuthnot and the Porte having been broken off, the English fleet put to sea suddenly on the morning of the first of March, and directed its course by a northerly breeze towards the Dardanelles, as if wishing to gain the Black Sea, but suddenly shifting, made sail for the Marmora. The Turkish fleet, which is returned from the Bosphorus, joined the newly equipped vessels which were in the arsenal of Tophana, and is gone in pursuit of the English squadron, to the number of from 15 to 20, under the orders of the captain Pacha. The crews are almost entirely composed of Janissaries."
This is all the Aulic Gazette has published to this day: but private letters give later intelligence. One of these which has been received at a banking house, is expressed in the following terms:
The English fleet, intimidated by the formidable preparations of the Porte, which had been directed by general Sebastiani, ambassador of France, warmly seconded by the French officers, and by several Spanish officers, quitted on the first of March its station before Constantinople, for the purpose of returning to the Archipelago. It repassed the lower Dardanelles on the 3d of March: and appears to be on a new cruise on the coast of Tenedos.
"Admiral Duckworth, doubtless, thought that his position would become very critical on the sea of Marmora, should he give time to the Turks to cut off all direct communication with England, and the rest of the fleet in the Mediterranean; and in truth, the forts of the Dardanelles could have been put at any moment in the best state of defence, and the total want of troops to make a debarkation,
would not have permitted him to make even the smallest attack on any one of these forts to facilitate his passage.
"Two French officers of rank have departed for the Dardanelles to fortify the coast of Asia, whilst others are employed in fortifying that of Europe. The grand seignior has requested general Sebastiani to fortify equally the Bosphorus on the side of Pont Luxine, the dispositions for which are already completed.
PRUSSIA. FINCKENSTEIN, 3d April. We have received official intelligence from Constantinople. Every thing happens for the best. The English have completely miscarried, and have been obliged to repass the strait of the Dardanelles. The Porte exhibits an energy which has confounded the English and the Russians. MONITEUR.
TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, 3d March. The important events which have passed within the view of this capital of the empire of the Crescent, are of a nature to fix the attention of all Europe; their favorable issue, the retreat of the English fleet under admiral Duckworth, which has repassed precipitately the strait of the Dardanelles, ought to have in the present situation of affairs the greatest influence on the military operations which will render the year which has just commenced the most celebrated perhaps of all that ancient or modern history has made us acquainted with.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun. No. 41, Budd-street, Philadelphia. Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever 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 soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moithier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of shewing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.

The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place 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 Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains 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 always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will 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, and
other warm climate, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting services, and will gradually destroy all tendency to Gout and in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of preparations have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled Dr. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose bounded 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; General 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; on 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, 1805. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harp-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Dr. 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 affection, 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.
