WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME, AN ADDRESS
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES:
Tending to show that by a due encouragement of these essential interests, the nation will be rendered more respectable abroad and more prosperous at home.
TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
AT a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands. And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 330 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO,
My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses, and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO,
The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

FROM THE REPUBLICAN (ALBANY) CRISIS.
LETTER VII.
From Mr. RICHARD SAUNDERS, to a friend in a neighboring State..
It is true, I said the federalists displeased the people, but that does not make it that the federalists did wrong. Who are the people? I ask this, because you say it is written that the voice of the people is the voice of God; I don't know where it is written, but I am sure it is not in the Bible, and if this is the case, what will you say if Clinton is elected? If he is, the people must elect him, and if so elected, then elected by God! This I know you will never agree to. It was not the people at large who felt any displeasure against the federalists, or inconvenience when they were in power; it was the demagogues, as they call them, and the men who were out of office, and wanted to get in, that were displeased; and to be sure they rung an alarm that the people became afraid of what might be, rather than displeased at what was upon them.
You know well enough what pains were taken to pull down John Adams and his friends. That infamous book which Mr. Jefferson paid the infamous Tom Callendar for writing, was enough of itself to make people look around them. Every body knew Mr. Jefferson to be a man of talents, but they did not know he would cut his friends throat to get his office; but, you see what he and your patriots, as they call themselves, have brought us to; and themselves to, also, I may say, for they are split all to pieces—Madisonians and Clintonians, and Munroe men—Republicans and Ge-
me Republicans, and Democrats, & Quids, and the Devil knows who all. The federalists never split—What was the reason? Because they did not quarrel who should have the loaves and fishes—nor would they quarrel now if they were to come in, for I believe things would, within six months, so change for the better, that offices would not be such great objects as they are now, when there is no other way upon earth to get money, but by having an office. In six months we should be on good terms with the English, and probably without being at war with France; trade would revive, and there would be ways enough as there were formerly for to get a livelihood, without public money. You laugh at my saying in one of my letters, that we should soon be on good terms with Britain, without sacrificing a jot of honor or interest; but I have no doubt that it would be so—Human nature is human nature all the world over; and though the British, notwithstanding their sufferings, will never give up an inch to the present ruling party, they would be glad to have an excuse to-morrow to give up points in dispute to a federal administration, in order to be on the former footing with America, the footing they were on with us, when Washington and the federalists were at helm. It has become a point of honor with the English not to give up any thing to those whom they believe to be friends to France, and that they do believe you are the friends of France, there can be no doubt. You saw how they wrangled for a straw in the affair of the Chesapeake—our member of Congress sent me Rose and Madison's book. Madison had the right of it, but Rose was ordered to come away rather than bate an ace, and so it will be, they will let things remain as they are, and Bonaparte will push us, and we shall be driven to war with them whether we will or not, and much we shall get by it, with our Wasp sloop and Hornet brig, and two hundred and 70 gun boats each, with one gun. I get angry when I think of the foolish manner, in which our affairs are conducted, which has brought us to such a pass that there is danger in turning to the right or to the left. I have now 250 bushels of wheat in store on the river, and if I would sell it for $5. a bushel I can't get it. I am, perhaps, too warm, but I think I see ruin coming on us as fast as it can, and when we are lost, I guess it will be too late to look for another pilot to steer the ship.
I am your friend,
RICHARD SAUNDERS.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, July 29.
Latest from Europe.
The Thalia, Capt. Silliman, 48 days from Falmouth, has brought London papers to the first of June, which contain the following interesting intelligence. Captain Silliman informs, that a small vessel arrived at Falmouth from St. Andros, about the 5th of June, with a deputation of 3 Spaniards, sent to inform the British government of the late change in Spain, to ask protection from the French, and a supply of arms and clothing. These Spaniards informed, that all the French at St. Andros and in the province of Castile, had been massacred—That the populace of Madrid assaulted the French troops, but were repulsed with loss.—The Duke of Berg, they said, had two horses shot under him. After this affray the French troops were withdrawn from the city.
It is said Admiral Berkeley had been appointed to the command of the channel fleet. Captain S. has dispatches for government from Mr. Pinkney.
LONDON, May 16.
Letters from Holland, dated the 9th instant, have been received. They confirm the previous intelligence relative to the restriction upon American commerce by the French government. The following official notice contains the substance of the decree issued at Bayonne. It is strongly indicative of a rupture between France and the United States.—The account ordered to be taken of the American vessels, is, we presume, with a view to ultimate confiscation. The charge of having violated the embargo cannot apply in this instance, as that measure only took place nine days before the period from which the account is ordered to be taken.
LETTRE DU CONCEILLER D'ETAT, 22 AVRIL, 1808.
Orders of his majesty the emperor, issued at Bayonne, April 17, 1808.
The American government having placed a general embargo in all the ports of the United States, has suspended all commerce.
All American ships shall in consequence be considered as from England, and put under sequestration.
And further, there shall be sent to the counsellor of state, in order to be laid before his majesty, a statement of all the American vessels which have entered our ports since the 1st of January, 1808.
Bonaparte has created general Junot marquis of Abrantes.
May 17.
Hamburg and Altona papers to the 1st
inst. have arrived. They furnish some interesting information respecting the present state of Italy. It would appear as if the French seriously intended a descent upon Sicily, and that a simultaneous attack was to be made from Lower Calabria and the territory about Naples. The reinforcements, however, which have been lately sent out there, and the presence of lord Collingwood, may retard this enterprize for the present, but there is, we fear, too much reason to apprehend, that this important island will ultimately follow the fate of the contiguous continent. The French have organized a body of treason and disaffection in Sicily which will shew itself the moment they effect a landing in any force. Little dependence is, unfortunately, to be placed on the courage, discipline, or allegiance of the few regiments which his Sicilian majesty has contrived to embody. We are persuaded this prince will be shielded by a British army and navy as long as possible, but the firmest determinations are often shaken by events. Circumstances may occur to completely derange the best concerted plans, and Gantheume may be fortunate enough to land twelve thousand men in Sicily, as he has already done in the Seven islands.—Should that happen, we fear, for the reasons we have stated, that Ferdinand would not long enjoy his present authority.
It appears by letters from Holland, that the merchants from Bordeaux were most pertinacious in their applications to Bonaparte to relax his system of commercial restriction. During an audience of two hours he paid marked attention to their representations, but could not be brought to acquiesce to their demands. He is said to have expressed great concern at the distress produced in that city, in consequence of the loss of its export trade, of which wine was the chief article, and to have offered to accommodate, out of the Imperial Treasury, the most embarrassed among the proprietors of the vineyards with a loan of half a million of francs free of interest for five years. As a security for the payment of the capital, they were to be allowed to lodge for sale a certain quantity of wine in the government depots. Being determined, he said, to sign no treaty of peace which was not likely to prove durable, he called on them to make up their minds to a vigorous perseverance in the war. When a peace did arrive they would perceive that he had not been inattentive to their interests, and that he had taken care to secure to them a new source of trade, which would amply indemnify them for all they had or might suffer. The letters also mention that he recommended to the merchants to employ their capital in fitting out privateers, and as an encouragement to their engaging very earnestly in this very lucrative branch of trade, proposed to take a certain share in each speculation of the kind.
The following was posted at Lloyd's this morning: Extract of a letter from the master of an American vessel arrived from Cadiz.
I received a note by a boat after I left Cadiz, stating that there was an order in the town to detain all Americans in that port. I spoke a ship on the passage from London for New York, master's name Howard, in company with a privateer which had captured her, and was conveying her for Bayonne."
This vessel was supposed on 'Change to be the Science, Howard, from London for New York, which sailed from Cowes on the 19th ult.
The order for detaining American vessels has been extended to Portugal also. Two vessels of that country have arrived which were towed out of the Tagus on the 5th inst to avoid an embargo which was hourly expected to be carried into effect in that port. Great preparations were making there for the reception of Bonaparte. The Palace lately occupied by Prince Regent was fitting up for his reception.
May 18.
Very sanguine hopes are entertained that the propositions which were the subject of the late conferences between Mr. Secretary Canning and Mr. Pinkney will be accepted by the American government. Ministers, it is said, have expressed their readiness to consider the U. States in the light of the most favored nation, and to accede to an arrangement for allowing, under certain regulations, the produce of the enemies colonies in the West Indies to be conveyed to the continent of Europe in American bottoms, without touching at a British port. The propositions have been transmitted by Mr. Pinkney to his government, in, as we understand the fullest confidence that they will be accepted. The determination of the president on this interesting subject is expected by the latter end of July.
NORFOLK, July 28.
Yesterday morning arrived here an officer from his B. M. brig Emulous, lieut. Stopford, which anchored on Tuesday evening off Old Point Light House, in 17 days from Barbadoes, with dispatches from admiral Cochrane to colonel Hamilton and Mr. Erskine, the British minister. To the politeness and attention of colonel H. we are indebted for copies of the following very important letters.
SPAIN IN AN UPROAR!
Extract of a letter from lord Collingwood, to admiral Cochrane, dated
OFF CADIZ, June 18, 1808.
"The Flying Fish having joined me on her way to Barbadoes, I avail myself of the opportunity to put you in possession of such events, as have occurred in Spain, and come to my knowledge.
"You will doubtless have been informed of the resignation of the crown of Spain by Charles IV. to his son; of the dismissal of the Prince of Peace, and seizure of his estates; of the accession of Ferdinand VII. that Bonaparte had inveigled both those princes, and the rest of the royal family to meet him at Bayonne; that he made them all prisoners; having obliged Ferdinand to return the crown to his father, and induced the old king to lay it at his feet, to be disposed of as he might direct.
"Soon after Ferdinand's quitting Madrid to proceed to Bayonne, the Grand Duke of Berg assumed to himself the temporary command of the government of the country, by the title of lieutenant general of the kingdom—this usurpation, the Spanish nation has resisted almost to a man. The spirit to oppose French tyranny, the abhorrence of the acts which have been practised against the royal family and the state, and the unanimity and enthusiasm manifested, to restore the nation to its independence, was, perhaps, never surpassed in any country or in any cause; even in the parts where the French are in force, (as at Madrid and Barcelona) this spirit is said to exist in its full extent, though the avowal of it is punished.
"At Cadiz on the 8th and 9th inst. the French squadron of five sail of the line and a frigate, which at the beginning of this revolution, had moved up near the Carraca, were bombarded; and after the suspension of the attack for four days, on the morning of the 14th, they struck their colors, and were taken possession of by the Spaniards.
"As a provincial government each province has established, a junta of several persons, of the greatest influence; to which the people are obedient, and the most zealous in its cause: this, of Andalusia, is the one with which the English have had most communication. Its army is commanded by general Cartanos, and for its state, &c. I beg to refer you to the enclosed copy of a letter from captain Bradford, an officer of the English forces, who has been with it some time. The masse of the province of Valencia, and of Asturias, is equally numerous: and that of the former, aided by some regulars, is said to be on the way to Madrid to drive the French out of it: in short, since the whole population of the country is in arms, and whenever the French meet a Spaniard, they find an inveterate enemy.
"To the English nation the Spaniards look, as that on which they depend for support, and security against the common enemy; and some districts have declared themselves at peace with Great Britain, without waiting for the usual forms; but as commissioners deputed from the supreme council at Seville, have to-day gone to England in the Revenge, to treat with his majesty's government, I make no doubt the wish of the Spanish nation will soon be gratified by a regular convention.
"The French are making considerable exertions to get a large army into Spain; but the spirit of the nation is so fully roused, that, if her councils are judicious, and their leaders act with ability and firmness, there is ample means to resist them, and all may end well.
"His majesty's government has directed in this crisis that every assistance shall be afforded. I have supplied them with powder from the ships; and about 5000 men under major general Spencer is on their coast, ready to act as circumstances may make necessary, and a further force by this time is on its way from England.
"The Portuguese, altho' disarmed are said to be raising in all parts of the country to expel the French, which they have done at Oporto; and as the enemy's troops there are very few and very much divided, there is every reason to suppose they will be successful—their principal force is at Lisbon which consists of about 5000 men; and a large body of people (30,000) partly native and partly Spaniards, under the command of the Portuguese gen. Gonzeureira, were by the last accounts I received, on the march

if Lisbon falls, the Russian fleet under admiral Seniavin, which is now in the Tagus will probably share the same fate; indeed, there is no indication on their part of much zeal towards their new allies. I have thought it necessary to give you information of the state of affairs in Spain, as his majesty's government have directed that every aid may be given to them, for maintaining their independence as a nation, and resisting the ambitious projects of France. All the decrees and every act of the several jutos, or supreme councils, thro' Spain, are in the name of Ferdinand VII, who is a prisoner to Bonaparte, as well as his two brothers, and the country at present is governed by those jutos in the several provinces. The importance of preserving the colonies from falling into the influence of France must be well aware of; and that the French have already taken measures for securing them; so that every means should be used to inform them of the true state of affairs here and of the brave resistance made by their country. For this purpose I am authorised by his Majesty's government, to give passports to ships or vessels which are employed either in conveying their dispatches and orders to the colonies, or the persons they may think it necessary to send out to conduct their affairs in this very critical juncture. I have given some passports for this purpose. Two frigates and several felucas intended for the provinces in America will be ready to proceed to different parts of America, and I request you will please to authorize the officers under your command of those Spanish ships and vessels, which they may probably meet, and direct them to give every aid to them in the service which they are employed. Those vessels will have merchandise in them, the adventures in general of the crew; and some of them will also have quicksilver, which is much wanted at La Vera Cruz. The passports I give you are intended to include those articles—indeed, at this moment, there should be no litigation—every encouragement ought to be given to the Spaniards, and their vessels carrying dispatches be considered as friends. P.S. The information contained in this letter you will be pleased to communicate to the governors of the several islands within the limits of your command.
Extract of a letter to rear admiral Purvis, at Utrera, June 12, 1808.
On receiving directions to proceed to the Junta at Seville, I was particularly commanded by major general Spencer to communicate to you direct, the information I thought of any consequence; and with the particular points in view, specified in the orders I received, I lose no time in communicating what his serene highness the president of Andalusia, &c. has given me, as the first account of their affairs, I beg leave to observe the utmost frankness appeared to guide them, and the most decisive firmness strengthened the relation they made.
They described their regular force joined by the camp at St. Roque, at 12,000, of which 6000 occupy the position of Corno, with 15 pieces of from 6 to 8 pounders; their cavalry, and the remaining force, is at Seville, Utrera, and the small houses in the neighborhood; the entire force, they think, may be increased by small bodies, who arrive daily; and three regiments of peasants, to whose instructions they have commanded every attention should be given.
By intercepted letters from general DuPont, commanding the French at Cordova, they learnt his orders to M. Dubois, to proceed from Tavira to Seville direct; others bid him not obey this order, but join him by the shortest roads at Cordova; complain they have no answer; and in the last bro't yesterday, bid him be expeditious, as he is desirous, when reinforced to drive the rebels from Seville. On the obtaining of the first, the council dispatched general Johnston with 3000 regulars, and gave directions to the government at Ayamonte, to put the armed peasantry in motion. From the impossibility of the deeply intersected ground from this to Seville and Cordova, they do not apprehend the French can proceed, and certainly must abandon the ten pieces of cannon, if they are not all destroyed; and if he is not, they impute it to his having moved by the left and the river, to join general Dupont at Cordova.
The irregular force they have given arms to by the number of rations given, from 70 to 25,000, and would increase to any numbers they would wish. The zeal to join the army is repressed by the order in council just enforced.
I am just returned from the advanced guard at Cormone, where the utmost confidence exists; and in an admirable position, they are prepared to check the advance of
the French, who as yet have made no indication of moving from Cordova, in front of which city they are employed in strengthening an excellent position by works.
General Johnston's corps is returned, and has marched to the main body of the Spanish regulars at Utrera, which is the head quarters of the captain general Castana.
When at Carmona, I saw 300 Swiss, who had just arrived from Carpi, where they were posted on their march from Madrid; others attempted to follow, but it is supposed they were obliged to disperse.
To describe the sentiments of the people, I need only observe, the lowest class cannot be bribed to convey any intelligence, as appears by the numerous letters they deliver to the Magistrates, when the impossibility of knowing they are traitors would ensure them every means of passing and re-passing undiscovered.
Some evil-minded men have been arrested; but their names and number are so inconsiderable, that it has not been thought of sufficient moment to punish them.
The accounts from Portugal are as favorable as can be desired. Mr. Caraffa, commanding the Spanish forces at Lisbon, and the Marquis de Montega, who commands at Oporto, have assured the Junta of their concurrence in the measures adopted; their intention of countenancing the desertions of the men, and the success of this design. M. Caraffa's letter adds, the Russian squadron would not oppose any attempt of the English to land a force in that part.
The Presidios of Africa are secured by the arrest of the French Emissaries sent there to liberate the slaves, so much that they are withdrawing much of their force to increase their defence before Seville.
The Junta had dispatched intelligence to the colonies, of the change in affairs; but some intercepted letters discover the design in the French, who, assured the country was at their feet, sent out orders to remove some of the higher officers, and naming those in their interest. From Bordeaux, the Junta fear the intelligence may get to the settlements; but not from Spain, as they have gotten even to quintuple copies of the orders, and I am desired to express the satisfaction they should feel, if a few English light vessels were dispatched to intercept these orders, known to have sailed for the Havanna, Cuba and Vera Cruz.
General Morlay's late suspension of attack on the fleet at Cadiz, has been answered by the most positive orders to take them. The officers and privates are to have their private property restored to them inviolate, and the liberty to return to France, if the English approve of the terms; but the unconditional surrender of the fleet is determined on here.
From a collective body, all much occupied, I could not expect much information, and compelled to trust to my memory for names, some confusion may at first occur; but a little at leisure I shall get over these difficulties, selecting the individuals most proper for my views.
Signed, K. I. BRADFORD, D. Ad. Gen.
P. S. The intelligence of this day has diffused the most desirable activity into the Junta. A deputy has arrived, acknowledging the supremacy of the Junta—the Junta of La Mancha detail by him the numerous peasantry in arms, the attack of a French force at Andujar, with the entire destruction of them.
The deserters from the French would be numerous, but the peasants kill every straggler the Junta here have issued orders on this head.
A spy has been taken, but his examination is not finished.
A colonel from the French has arrived with a flag of truce—the motives to reconnoitre—the Junta have resolved to detain him.
The arrival of the English at Argamonte has had the best effect on the minds of the people—all fear is fled—the organization goes on with vigor—the machine is gaining stability, and with it that energy which will remove the embarrassment roused by the timid, tho' well inclined.
Some suspected people have been arrested, and vigor will enforce the obedience they before received from the novelty of the events.
The officer who brought up the above dispatches says, that London accounts to the 4th of June had been received at Barbadoes, stating "that the Russians in three or four engagements, had been defeated by the Swedes with considerable loss, having upwards of five thousand killed in the last engagement. That an attempt was made to assassinate Bonaparte at Bayonne, but that he escaped, having received only a slight contusion of a sabre." What a pity the assassin had not a little more nerve, and rid the world of so troublesome a guest.
Admiral Cochrane writes to Col. Hamilton, "I have forwarded a copy of this intelligence to the Captain General of the Caraccas, and have stopped all hostile proceedings of the squadron under my command, against that
and the other Spanish provinces; and I am in great hopes they will be preserved from the clutches of the French."

SIR, The bearer hereof is a chief among the Delawares who reside on Apple Creek in this territory. He has been selected by his nation for the purpose of conveying to the Delawares, Shawnees, Miamies, &c. in your territory the substance of a speech which I lately made to the Shawnees and Delawares at this place, with respect to the Osage nation.
The Osage have killed one of our citizens more than 18 months since and have failed to deliver up the murderer, they have beaten, maimed, wounded and otherwise insulted and mal treated others; they have stolen a large number of our horses, they have wantonly killed and destroyed our cattle, they have plundered our frontier inhabitants of their clothes, household furniture, &c. destroying such articles as were not portable, and from late information received by the traders who have recently returned from their villages, it appears that they evince a hostile disposition towards us, and consequently that other and exaggerated depredations may be expected. I have in several late conferences with the Shawnees, Delawares, Kikapoo, Soos, Saues, Jaways, &c. declared the Osage nation no longer under the protection of the U. States, and set them at liberty to adjust their several differences with that abandoned nation in their own way, but have prohibited their attacking them except with a sufficient force to destroy or drive them from our neighborhood. The White Hair the great Chief of the Osages is now with me, he has found it impracticable to govern this nation, and has therefore repaired to this place for protection. The traders have been ordered to leave their villages, as have also the hunters and all other white persons to quit their country; a considerable number had already arrived and the others are daily expected. Under these circumstances I hope that you will permit the Indians in your territory to take their own measures for attacking the Osage. It is possible that a part of the militia of Louisiana will be employed on this service. The expedition will move about the 20th of September.
Accept the assurance of my most friendly regard.

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.
CEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 1, 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 or mercury of 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. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing 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 3 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.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
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 lapse of 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, Glets, 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 their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and
will gradually destroy the 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 so 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 operate 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.
