A Runaway. ON Monday morning last, a young and likely negro man slave, named DICK, left the service of the subscriber, and is now supposed to be lurking in or about the town of Alexandria. He is about 18 or 19 years of age, copper colored, well made, and wears his hair in a queue. He took with him shoemakers' tools, with which he is a tolerable workman, and had on a short jacket made of dark colored twined Virginia cloth and pan- taloons of the same.
As he went off without any sort of provocation that I know of, it is supposed he is harbored at some of the numerous tipping houses in or about the town, and perhaps kept at work to defray his expenses. I will give Ten Dollars reward for his apprehension and delivery to me, or if he is secured in any jail and notice given to me—and if he is apprehended out of the county of Fairfax or district of Columbia, I will pay Ten additional Dollars. J. H. Hooe.

BY THE LAST MAIL.
SALEM, April 8.
Arrived ship Mary and Eliza, from Sumatra. Left the coast Dec. 1st. No Americans there. Two French frigates and numerous French privateers on the coast, which had been very successful against the English country ships, and had taken as many as 35 Bengal men, and a king's brig (the Sea-flower of 15 guns). They had in fact swept the whole west coast of Sumatra, so that insurance could not be effected. It was reported, that 6 French ships of war had arrived at Samatrang, in the island of Java, and that adm. Pellew, on the coast of Coromandel, was fitting away to look after them. At Bencoolen, the English settlement in Sumatra, some of the natives, exasperated against the English governor Parr, forced into his house in the night, took him from bed and massacred him, without doing any further injury. Spoke in latitude 38, 50, longitude 64, 30, brig Freedom, five days from Kennebec for West Indies.
Lat. 40, 8, long. 64, 50, brig Fair American, 7 days from Wiscasset for W. Indies. On Sunday last, brig Betsey, Cook, from Salem for Western Islands. Wednesday ship Venus from Boston for Minorca. Capt. Beadle experienced a severe gale in the gulph stream in which the vessel leaked much, the pumps were choked, &c. and they were obliged to throw over some of her cargo. Near the same place, a few years since, the Eliza of this port, commanded by capt. Beadle, foundered.
The Mary and Eliza sailed by permission of the president during the embargo, and the success of her voyage is another eminent proof of the miserable policy of the embargo, which chained our commerce for 15 months.
Ship Catharine, Bickford, 45 days from Valencia in Spain. This vessel was captured by the French and carried into Majorca, where the Spaniards, when the revolution commenced, wrested her from the French grasp, whereby she is restored to her owner.
Late and direct from Spain.
Yesterday arrived at this port the ship Catherine, capt. Thos. Bickford, in 45 days from Valencia on the Mediterranean. He brought printed papers to the 17th of Feb. for the hon. Mr. Gray, the owner, who favored us with the loan of them for a few hours, and from which translations have been made for this paper. We do not find in them any official accounts of any one great and decisive action, but there is ample evidence that the Spaniards continue the war with the same zeal and patriotism with which they begun it, and strong appearances that the patriotic spirit has been rewarded with greater success than could have been expected from raw undisciplined troops over their veteran invaders. The accounts of the English army are, that on their march to the sea coast of Galicia, on the 2d and 6th January they had successful encounters with the French, but we find nothing of an official nature respecting them; and they are said afterwards to have with Romana, formed a junction with the Portuguese, combining a force of 120,000 men of the three nations.
It was said that Napoleon was quitting Spain in great haste, and M. Lannes with his army returning also, by forced marches. It could be no common cause that should produce such a movement, when the affairs of Spain were in such a critical state, and a crown for the head of Napoleon's brother was at stake; but we find by the papers, that England and Turkey had concluded a peace—that both Austria and Turkey assumed a threatening position with regard to France—that the archduke Charles had entered Bavaria with a large army, and the noble resistance of the Spaniards was likely to rouse a spirit in other nations which might yet wrest Europe from the hands of the conqueror, and restore it to itself.
Since the translations of the papers have been made, we have conversed with captain Bickford, who informed us, that the day before he sailed a paper was received at Valencia from the supreme Junta, from which he heard read the important account, that Austria and Turkey had both actually declared war against France, the probability of which event is repeatedly mentioned in the papers which we have seen. The gentleman who read it to him, expressed a desire that he should bring the paper to America; but the eagerness to see it, occasioned its being lent from one to another, till it could not be recovered before he sailed, it was considered as a fact, and gave great spirits to the Spaniards.
He further informs us, that a French army of 18,000 men, from Roses, in January attacked the Spanish army besieging Barcelona, and defeated it, through the treachery
of their general, Vivas, who endeavored to escape, but was seized, and sent prisoner to Seville, that the French had been repulsed in fifteen assaults upon Saragossa, where they had lost great numbers, and that they were said to have lost already as many as 200,000 men in Spain. At Valencia, the patriot spirit was at the highest pitch; and to doubt of their success against the tyrant was almost treason.
The day before capt. Bickford sailed from Valencia, news was received from the junta that Austria and Turkey had declared war against France—and that the force of the Austrians were 350,000 men and the Turks 150,000 men in arms.
NEW YORK, April 12.
Latest News from England.
The ship Dean, captain Wibbert, arrived at this port yesterday in 40 days from Bristol. She left there on the 2d of March, and has furnished the editors of the New York Gazette with London papers to the 28th of February (seven days later than by the Packet) from which the subsequent articles are copied.
From the extracts we have made it will be seen that Bonaparte is in Germany viewing with a jealous eye the movements of Austria; and that Russia, is reported to have exhibited some symptoms of a hostile disposition against the conqueror of Europe.
The advance in woollen cloths has been so great in London, that on the 22d Feb. it was calculated that 10,000 journey men tailors have been thrown out of employ. Spanish Wool has advanced from 6 to 22s. per lb.

LONDON, Feb. 22. HOUSE OF COMMONS, February 22.
MRS. CLARK'S CHARGES.
The proceedings of the committee in this extraordinary affair closed this morning at a very late hour.
Mrs. Clark appeared at the bar, and answered numerous questions put to her by several gentlemen. She, however, evaded a direct answer to some plain questions put to her by the attorney general respecting her having lived with an army agent previously to her connection with the duke of York; and pretended to affirm that she never had lived with any one except his royal highness. Here the committee burst into a loud laugh!
Several officers of high rank and character were called as to their t's in way of the duke of York's conduct as commander in chief, among whom was that very able and gallant officer, sir Arthur Wellesley. They all bestowed the very highest encomiums on the duke of York as commander in chief.
The house was then resumed, and the chairman reported progress. The proceedings are to be printed on or before Monday, and the consideration of the whole is to take place on Thursday next.
8 o'clock, P. M. London, Feb. 23. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Thursday.
The Speaker acquainted the house that he had received a letter from his royal highness the duke of York, which, with their permission he would read.
The house having signified its assent, the speaker read the letter dated Horse Guards, 23d Feb, 1809, and addressed to him, in his official character of speaker, to the following effect:
"Sir, "I have waited with the utmost anxiety till the committee appointed to enquire into my conduct as commander in chief, came to a close of its examination. I trust that being now done, it will not be considered improper for me to address this letter to the house through you. I have heard with the deepest concern, that in the course of this inquiry, my name has been coupled with transactions the most criminal and disgraceful; and I must ever regret and lament that I have been connected with persons who have exposed my character and honor to public investigation. With respect to these calumnies, as connected with the discharge of my official duties, I solemnly, and on my honor as a prince, assert my innocence—not only by denying any connivance with these transactions, which have appeared in evidence at your bar—but even any knowledge, participation or suspicion, that they existed at all. My consciousness of innocence, leads me to hope that the house of commons will not adopt on the evidence they have heard, any proceedings prejudicial to my honor and character; but if, on such evidence, the house of commons should think that my innocence is questiona-
ble, I claim justice, of not being condemned without trial, but to be allowed to be heard by evidence at the bar, as in other cases, and in the ordinary administration of the law.
(Signed)
"FREDERICK" The motion was then put and the order to lie on the table.
On a question from Mr. Bank, speaker explained the ordinary course of proceedings pursued by the house, and did not wish any further motion to be made upon the letter till it was copied by the journals by the clerk.
Left sitting.
HOUSE OF LORDS, February 23.
On motion of lord Auckland an address was ordered to be presented to his majesty praying for copies of a letter from Mr. Secretary Canning to Mr. Pinkney, in September last, and the answer of Mr. Pinkney. [These are the letters which made so much noise in this country—Canning's was called a forgery.]
February 22. We have received American papers to the 27th ult. The greatest confusion prevails in all the principal ports in the U. S. and a determined resistance is made to all the restrictive regulations of the embargo laws. The vessels for Europe, particularly England, now put to sea in defiance of the power of government, and the most serious results seem to threaten the union. The following letter from Greenock, of the 2d ult. reached us this morning:
"An American brig called the Endeavor, from New York for Boston, arrived here this morning in 38 days: her cargo consists of 170 bales of cotton, 1000 bales of tar, 21 hds. of tobacco, 2 bbls. of flour, 11 half do. 2 kegs of hogs lard, 1 tierce of beans, 9 bbls. of pork, and 1 tierce of crackers (small biscuits). Eighteen vessels (chiefly ships) cleared out the same day for Boston.
All these vessels, it is unnecessary to observe, though cleared out for Boston, are really bound to this country.
A vessel has arrived in the Clyde from the Floridas.
February 24.
It is with great pleasure that we acquire our readers that government have received dispatches from admiral Keats, and that the apprehensions which were entertained for the safety of our fleet in the Sound were unfounded. The dispatches from admiral Keats are dated off Gottenburgh; they state that the whole of our squadron was in safety, with the exception of the Magnet sloop, which was lost, but the whole of her crew were saved. The Sound is now completely open.
We yesterday mentioned the arrival of the Princess Charlotte packet from Lisbon; by this vessel, government have received dispatches from Mr. Villiers. If we may give credit to the Portuguese papers, the greatest enthusiasm pervades every part of Portugal, and the greatest exertions have been made by all classes of the people, to enable them to resist the French, who, it appears, have not yet entered Portugal.
The following very interesting account from Spain is extracted from a Portuguese paper:
"Capt. Walker of the 27th regiment effected his escape from Madrid on the 24th ult. It was positively believed at Madrid, that the garrison under the command of general Belhard, intended speedily to evacuate that city. The French were fortifying the contiguous height. The soldiers were extremely discontented, for notwithstanding the order of the governor, prohibiting the carrying of arms and knives, or the wearing of cloaks after sun-set, numbers of them were assassinated every night. To such a pitch was the resentment of the people carried, that gen. Penque was assassinated by a woman; gen. Grand Maison was found dead on the 31st of December; general Berthier, the prince of Neufchatel, died of a wound received in one of his arms, which it was found necessary to amputate.
Joseph Bonaparte, at his solemn entry into Madrid, on the 22d of Dec. was received with a gloomy silence.
The silence of the French, Dutch and German papers on this event, gives countenance to the report that the departure of Napoleon to the east of the Rhine, was in consequence of an unexpected rupture with Austria. It is also remarkable that the report of a war between Francis and Bonaparte prevailed by the last advices, both on the shores of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
Letters of the 12th were received yesterday from the Dutch coast. They strongly

assert that a war between France and Austria is inevitable. The writer also requests that the goods he had ordered might not be sent him, as their price would be effected by the continental war.
Yesterday a messenger arrived from Gottenburg, with dispatches from Stockholm. The contents have not transpired, but one fact is stated on the messenger's authority, which is of importance, at least, as indicating the state of the public mind at St. Petersburg. The disgust which has been felt at the conduct of the grand duke Constantine, has at length occasioned an attempt upon his life. The accounts are not exactly consistent in the mode of the attack.
Some say that the duke was shot at, and that the ball passed over his head, and killed his aid-de-camp. Others that a plot was formed to kill him in his bed, and that his room being mistaken, his aid-de-camp was killed in his place; but all accounts agree that the aid-de-camp lost his life contrary to the intention of the conspirators. In consequence of this attempt, the emperor it is said, offered a reward of 200,000 roubles on the discovery of the offender. This was announced by placards on the walls of the city. The following day an advertisement was posted about the streets, offering four hundred thousand roubles to any one who should assassinate Constantine.
February 27.
On Sunday evening the admiralty received a telegraphic communication, announcing the sailing of the Brest fleet. The Lyra looked into Brest last Tuesday, and found the enemy had put to sea. She sailed immediately for Plymouth, and off the Lizard fell in with the channel fleet, to which she communicated her information. Lord Gambier will of course proceed immediately after them, and we trust will come up with them. If he should, another victory will of course adorn our naval annals. Lord Gambier's force is as follows:—Caledonia 110, admiral lord Gambier captain sir H. Barrard Neale, (captain of the fleet,) captain Bedford; Royal George 100, vice admiral sir John Thomas Duckworth, captain Dunn; St. George 98, rear admiral Eliab Harvey, captain Hillyar; Dreadnought 98, rear admiral Soheby, captain Salt; Temeraire 98, sir C. Hamilton; Achilles 74, sir Richard King; Impetueux 74, captain Lawford; Christian VIIIth, captain J. Hancock, acting; Warspite 74, hon. capt. Blackwood. The Hero 74, captain Newman, looked into Torbay on Wednesday, and then proceeded for the station off Ushant, to join his lordship. The Brest fleet is believed to consist of nine or ten sail of the line and some frigates.
SPAIN.
We alluded on Saturday to an action before Saragossa, in which the French were defeated. The Spanish papers to the 11th, contain the official accounts of it—it took place on the 21st of January. The enemy are stated to have advanced with seven columns of infantry, a large body of cavalry, and a considerable train of artillery, to invest the suburb on the other side of the river. After a hard fought action, which lasted five hours, the main body of the enemy fell back, and the reserve advanced with great impetuosity. The Spanish troops were for a short time thrown into disorder, but soon recovered themselves, and finally defeated the enemy, who left under the walls and in front of the batteries 4,000 men killed, and as many wounded. The loss of the Spaniards is not mentioned. On the same day, an attack was made by about 800 Frenchmen on the fortress of San Josef, but they were also put to flight. Several skirmishes took place on the 22d, 23d and 24th, in the environs of San Josef, in which the Spaniards were equally successful.
PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 28.
The Hibernian and Ville de Paris, of 100 guns each, sailed yesterday for the Mediterranean. The West India, Brazil, and Mediterranean convoys still wait for the winds.
BRISTOL, February 25.
It is now currently reported that ministers mean to adopt a mode of warfare with regard to Spain, more consistent, it is said, with our insular situation, naval preponderance, and military establishments. This is to consist in frequent and partial descents on the extensive line of coast from Bayonne to Genoa. Its expediency and advantages were frequently recommended by the great lord Nelson; & the alarm which lord Cochrane kept up some time ago on the French coast in the Mediterranean, proves, if it be pursued on a large scale, that nothing can contribute more to harass and distract the enemy. By these means, the hopes of the patriots will be constantly kept alive; whilst the invaders will be tormented and worn out by toilsome marches.
Accounts from different parts of the continent coincide in stating, that Bonaparte has departed for Germany, and that Austria had declared war against France. Some unthinking persons may condemn Austria for rashness, in provoking the aggression; but would they have her wait till the tyrant had his whole force concentrated on the Danube? We know not whether our government has received any direct communications to this effect from the cabinet of Vienna, but we are inclined to believe it has; and we ground this supposition on the arrival in this country some months ago, of the confidential secretary of M. Von Gentz. The latter is the Burke of the continent, the ardent champion of former rights and independence, and an avowed and intrepid enemy to the late innovations. His talents and his patriotism have been always placed in requisition by the courts of Vienna, Berlin and St. Petersburg, whenever they attempted to resist the encroachments of France; and had the measures he proposed been fully adopted, and his counsel implicitly followed, the ancient Germanic constitution had existed to this day.
The news from America continues most important and interesting. It is the general opinion that the embargo act is by this time suspended; and that the enlightened and dignified conduct of our ministers has had its due effect.
The French Eagle.—“A circumstance has occurred this morning, which I think should be known. Two of the French imperial eagles, which were taken in the battle of Coquena, were sold yesterday at Barker's, the silver smith's, in this town; they are of silver, and weigh about 15 ounces. The man who said he bayoneted the Frenchman, was a Highlander of the 92d, or Gordon's, and I cannot account for his selling such a noble trophy of British courage and discipline, unless from absolute necessity. Some of our regiments have before taken the pole that supported the standard, but never the thing itself, and Bonaparte has particularly excited that they never were taken.”—[Extract of a letter from Chichester, Jan. 31.]
CARTHAGENA, February 3.
The 27th Jan. a dispatch from the marquis of Palacios arrived, who stated that the army of Andalusia amounted to 21,000 infantry and 3,000 very good cavalry, and that its advance guard extended to Madrid, 18 leagues from Madrid and 24 from Carolina.
The 28th Jan. a courier arrived from Salamanca, which he left 12 days before, who stated that there had been no action near that place, but that near Benevente there had been one, in which the French lost from 14 to 16,000 men, and that the Spaniards continued to pursue the enemy. It was also mentioned at Salamanca, that a second victory, as glorious as the first, had been obtained.
February 11.
THE TURKS.
The commander of the frigate Proserpina, having anchored in the port of Malta on his passage, learnt the agreeable intelligence of peace being re-established between Great Britain and the Ottoman Porte; and the information is not less satisfactory of the attentions he received in Trieste, and of the general sympathy which was professed for Spain in Germany, which nation has perhaps already declared war against France.
The army of Austria is 600,000 soldiers, among them 80,000 cavalry, most completely equipped.
February 17.
AUSTRIA & FRANCE.
We conclude with confidence that a rupture is very probable; that the discordancy there is in the existence of these two powers so incompatible by the difference of the elements of which they are composed, will speedily manifest itself in the field of battle; that the conjuncture is very fortunate, on account of the negotiations of England with Turkey, which makes it impossible for Russia to take an active part in attacking and plundering her ally and friend; and that a natural sentiment of self-preservation and the honor of the nation, and of an august dynasty, will not allow of any other measures, or other expedients, than to die or conquer; thus following the example of another nation which feels the same, and is laboring in the same way for its legitimate lord.
NORFOLK, April 12.
The Swedish schooner John, capt. Chadwick, arrived here this morning, in 14 days from St. Bartholomews. By this vessel we learn that no information had been received at that island respecting the British expedition having gone against Guadaloupe; it was by some supposed that it would be re-
linquished, notwithstanding the British had received a reinforcement of troops from Jamaica.
None of the numerous vessels which sailed since the raising of the embargo, had arrived at St. Bartholomews, when the John sailed.

WASHINGTON BRIDGE.
It is with pleasure we announce that the Washington Bridge is so far completed as to be passable on Saturday last for foot passengers; it is intended to render it fit for carriages to pass, on or before the 13th of May, and from the activity which Mr. Mills, the builder, has hitherto displayed in the prosecution of his work we have no doubt he will accomplish that desirable object.
Virginia Election.
We stop the press to announce the glorious intelligence from Bath. At the close of the polls yesterday, Swoope had a majority of 19 votes over Smith—gen. Samuel Blackburn and Sampson Mathews, esq. two genuine federalists, are elected to the assembly. Last fall the federalists of Bath could give no more than 24 votes for the federal ticket!—[Staunton paper, April 12.]
Wonderous Change!!
At the close of the polls in Rockbridge on Wednesday night last, (the polls were kept open three days) the votes stood
For Breckenridge, (fed.) 311 Wilson, (demo.) 335
Thomas L. Preston and John M'Campbell, Esqrs. are elected to the assembly for that county.
Mr. M'Campbell is a decided and inflexible disciple of the Washington school; and we must here observe that in all their struggles in that county to send a federal Representative to Congress from the district of which that forms a part, a democrat has uniformly had a majority of from 150 to 200 votes over his opponent. No doubts are now entertained, but General Breckenridge will get a handsome majority in every other county in the district. [Ibid.]
Wm. D. Merriweather, a federalist, and Tucker Cole, a democrat, are elected to the assembly of Virginia for the county of Albemarle. W. C. Nicholas, the congressional candidate, has no opponent.

Congressional Election.—On Monday last the election for a member of Congress for this district was held at Nansemond; the result, as we had expected, was unfavorable to Mr. Taylor. The polls at closing stood for Thomas Newton, 339 Robert B. Taylor, 63
Majority, 271 Deduct majority in Princess Anne for Taylor, 57
Present majority for Newton, 214
The friends of Mr. Taylor have nothing to fear, but enough to stimulate their activity—if they will come forth in their strength, if they will imitate the industry of their opponents, the election is safe. In the county and borough there are about 1200 voters. We are assured from various parts of the county, that the majority for Mr. Taylor will exceed 150, and that of the borough will not fall short of that number. We repeat that nothing is wanted but activity, and the district of Norfolk will be served by talents that are an honor to the country, by private worth and integrity that was never questioned, and by patriotism formed upon the maxims of Washington. [Norfolk Ledger.]
Massachusetts election for Governor. FROM 349 TOWNS.
Mr. Gore, 42,643 Mr. Lincoln, 38,210
Present majority for Gore, 4,433
The democratic majority in the above towns, last year, was 267.
There are only 101 towns to be heard from, which last year gave Mr. Sullivan 5815 votes, & M. Gore 3919. Admitting these 101 towns to stand as they did last year, which is not very probable, considering the great changes in the towns already heard from, Mr. Gore's majority would
at least be 25000. The probability, however, now is, that his total majority will not be less than 5000.
Thus have the whole of the New-England states become completely federal, with the exception of a very small majority in one branch of the Vermont Legislature, which will also be changed in a short time. New-York, it is strongly suspected intends to follow suit.
As the Democratic editors would say—“these are tremendous expressions of the public will!!”

TUESDAY, April 11—half past 12 o'clock.
Our boatman has this moment come in with London papers to the 26th of February, bro't by the ship Dean, 40 days from Bristol. The mail is closing. I have not looked into them, and therefore cannot tell you one word of their contents.
POSTSCRIPT.
1 o'Clock, P. M.
I have just looked into one of our late English papers—it contains a rumor that Austria and Russia had declared war against France: General Berthier (Prince of Neufchatel) died at Madrid on the 29th of January, of a wound he received in one of his arms, not in battle, but by assassination—The Spaniards have met with no disaster since our last accounts from Europe—The siege of Saragossa had been abandoned—The Duke of York is said to have resigned the command of the army of England.
[Freeman's Journal]
Accounts as late as January 25th, from the United States, had been received in England previous to the sailing of the Dean. These were considered so friendly to reconciliation, as to excite great exultation in the public mind. They were anxiously expecting arrival of the Pacific, which, it was generally believed, would give “assurance doubly sure” of the returning harmony and commercial intercourse.

JUST RECEIVED,
FOR SALE ONLY BY
James Kennedy, Jen.
BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET,
The following highly valuable MEDICINE
Price 3 dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S
NATURE'S RESTORATIVE,
A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasures, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma, and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have coplaned every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published) have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly esteemed for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
ALSO, Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN. whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, 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 all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates a ready 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. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.
