We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801. " The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804. " We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, January 17.
DEBATE ON EXTRA SESSION.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Epp's Speech concluded.]
From the grounds taken, as the gentleman from Massachusetts informs us in debate on the embargo, he infers that the administration in recommending the embargo as a precautionary measure, practised political deception. That it was intended by the administration—1st, as a measure of coercion exclusively on G. Britain—2dly, to keep it on at all hazards—3d, to do nothing else. The gentleman tells us this measure was represented to the British government as a precautionary measure only—that if it had been presented as a measure of coercion negotiation would have been at an end. How does it happen that negotiation has totally failed notwithstanding the measure was presented to the view of the British government as a precautionary measure only—did the British ministry possess information in which they had more confidence tending to prove that this representation of the measure was only political deception? As to the 2d and 3d points that he administration was to adhere to the embargo at all hazards, and to do nothing else, it is a mere naked assertion totally unsupported by the course which has been adopted. For what purpose did we during the last session raise troops? Why have we doubled our seamen and marines? Why have we made large appropriations for fortifications? For what purpose are we about to raise more troops? The gentleman says to enforce the embargo at the point of the bayonet—all this preparation is designed only for enforcing the embargo—really I have too much respect for the understanding of the gentleman to believe this is seriously his opinion. The gentleman has told us that those who talk most about fighting are least disposed for war. What are we to think of those who in the present situation of their country can find no theme on which to exercise their eloquence but the embargo. I cannot believe such men very zealous to maintain the rights of their country. Why does not the gentleman come forward and give us an exposition of the decrees and orders—let him do this and give his people an opportunity of deciding whether the decrees and orders or political deception and the embargo produced our present distress and difficulties. What is the practical operation of these decrees and orders—a planter in Virginia wishes to send tobacco to the continent of Europe, what must he do? Send it first to a British port—pay a tax and obtain a permission from his majesty to ship his own produce. Suppose an inhabitant of the state of Massachusetts wishes to send fish to Spain or to any other part of the continent of Europe—why he must first go to a British port, ask permission of his majesty and pay for the permission. Will any gentleman venture to deny that this is the practical operation of the orders in council. Will the gentleman from Massachusetts tell the people of this country they cannot—must not fight for this? That they have no resources?—The gentleman from Massachusetts could not maintain this ground before the people in any portion of this country. The rankest tory in our country would blush to take such ground. He would be scouted by honest men.
Mr. E. concluded with saying that the general scope of the argument of the gentleman went to shew that the embargo was to be a permanent measure. Conscious that such a view was entirely erroneous, calculated to deceive and mislead the people, he had obeyed the impulse of his feelings and confined his observations to the speech of the gentleman instead of discussing the bill before the house.
[Debate to be continued.]
MINUTES.

S. for the purpose of preventing so dangerous a precedent.

After which the committee rose, and the house adjourned at about 4 o'clock.
NEW-ENGLAND.
We copy from the Boston repertory, a defence of the proceedings in New-England. It will be observed, that federalists there, who are a great majority, style their opponents, the democrats, tories: this is as unfair as the conduct of those democrats who live in states where they belong to the majority.—[Baltimore Fed. Gaz.]
FROM THE BOSTON REPERTORY.
A SEPARATION OF THE STATES.
WE are compelled again to introduce this subject by the base attempts, which are incessantly made to misrepresent the views of the federalists in New England. The falsehood of the allegations against them is so well known and understood here, that notwithstanding the hypocritical outcry of our democratic papers, we should think no reply necessary, did it not appear that our friends at the southward are, some of them, alarmed by the imposition.
To such we venture to pledge ourselves by the most solemn assurances, that no people in any section of the union are more sincerely attached to the federative compact, none more highly appreciate the advantages of union, none more sincerely deprecate any event which might tend to destroy it, than the federalists of New-England.—When it suits the views of northern tories and southern demagogues, they consider the Repertory as proclaiming the sentiments of the most active and decided federalists in this part of the country. We taken them at their word, and therefore demand in justice, that the sentiments we avow be the test to judge of the opinions of our friends. It will not suit the unprincipled views of those who would rivet upon us the chains of slavery and prostrate our happiness, to receive and admit our professions. But the federalists of the south will acknowledge our sincerity, and discard all their unfounded alarms.
A dissolution of the union is an event which we solemnly believe every class of people in the north view with horror, and the federalists will spare no pains or exertions to perpetuate the integrity of our government. But there is a storm gathering over our heads, which does endanger the union, and this they are uniting all their power to avert. The union is not endangered by any prospect of a direct and formal separation of the states. It is endangered by the absolute impracticability of that system of oppressive measures, which our general government have adopted.
Nothing is more true than that the rights of the people have been grossly violated by the total interdiction of commerce, and the tyrannical powers which have been vested
in agents of government, to enable them to carry oppressive and odious restrictions into effect. As though the embargo itself did not sufficiently try our patience and our attachment to neutral rights, laws are made, wantonly opening a door to every species of abuse. From a knowledge of mankind, from an intimate knowledge of the spirit, the sentiments and the sufferings of our fellow citizens, we are confident that they will not acquiesce under such treatment. Whether we justify resistance or not, is not the question; we never have encouraged it, but we speak of the fact. Were even our state government to unite with that of the nation, in attempting to carry the embargo laws into effect, the attempt would be in vain.
We cannot then be blind to the course of things, a course which cannot be stayed, because it results from principles inherent in human nature; and let it be observed, for it corroborates our doctrine, that the operation of these principles has not been marked by distinctions of political party. What then will ensue? Not a proposition to separate the states, but individual resistance so general, if present measures are not abandoned, the will of the government and the arm of its power will be disregarded. It is not in nature to avoid this, if the expositions of a suffering people are treated with contempt. On the back of those privations which are now required, let government, as it must, demand of the people support by direct taxation, and what will be the consequence? We need pursue the prospect no further.
It remains now that we explain, and we do not hesitate to add, to justify, the strong measures which have been adopted, in various parts of this state, and other parts of New England; we mean not the acts of individual resistance, but the proceedings and publications of corporate bodies, and other associations.
So far as the feelings of the people have been expressed in memorials and addresses to the national government and state legislatures, we presume there is not one man in the United States who will dare to say there is any thing in such conduct improper or unconstitutional. It is the most regular course that can possibly be devised to seek redress of our wrongs and relief from our sufferings.
But many have gone further, and evinced a determination to stand by those rights which the constitution was made to protect and not destroy, at all hazards. The truth is, the people are determined not to be, and cannot be enslaved. They are not willing, nor making a feint of firmness. But our tories continue to assure government, that their mandates will produce no evils but what the people will readily bear, and that the complaints which have been heard, are instigated by a few ill disposed persons—the very language which led lord North into a fatal mistake.
Since, therefore, petitions & remonstrances have been spurned at, it has become necessary and expedient to take steps which cannot be misconstrued. Is it not best that such warning should be given? There is no doubt but that if the whole eastern section of the union were to express frankly what they feel, government would see the necessity at once of changing their measures. The sooner a proper understanding takes place between government and the people, the better. Tories have made strong expressions of popular sentiment absolutely necessary. If government persists in their blindness, it must be their fault, and the responsibility for future consequences will rest with them.
From the "ALBION," of Dec. 4.
RETROSPECT OF POLITICS, FOR THE WEEK.
The anxious expectation in which we have been for some time, of intelligence from the theatre of war, has in some measure been satisfied, though not precisely in the manner we could have hoped. Our information, however, is still very scanty, though it is so far sufficient to ensure our conclusion, that General Blake has met with some serious reverses in
SPAIN;
but we still feel some consolation in the hope, that, although we have no doubt of the several conflicts in which he has been engaged, his being enabled to effect his retreat in good order, without being attacked by an army so much superior to him. We know not how to account for this, but that the right wing of the French army must either have suffered greatly in these continual contests, which prevented them from pursuing their advantages, or that they were in want of provisions, or some other necessary means to enable them to pursue, or, which may be as probable as either of these, they were immediately dispatched to rein-
force the centre near Burgos, with a view to annihilate the force opposed to the French Emperor in that quarter. Of their want of provisions, indeed, we must still entertain our former opinion; and still entertain the hope, that this may be the principal cause of this failure of molestation. In looking at the map with some attention, we cannot easily persuade ourselves to think, that, such a body of forces hanging upon the right flank, and ready to attack his rear unless he can import numerous fresh horses from France, now that he can keep coast open near Fontarabia and St. Sebastian, the French Emperor or Marshal Ney will venture to advance much beyond Burgos. On his left, should he attempt to push forward by that route, we trust that the brave Palafox will make that successful resistance, for which he has been already celebrated; and in front, we hope, he will have to face an army of patriots, though not of veterans, that will not prove inferior in spirit and courage to their countrymen. From Arragon and Catalonia, it is true, the recent advantages of the French in Old Castile have occasioned a want of recent communications; but, so far as we can collect from the Spanish papers which have reached us, the patriotic cause is gaining ground on and near the Mediterranean shores. We still have no account of the Usurper of
FRANCE,
from the seat of war; who is either improved amongst his own troops, and devising plans for overcoming the resistance he so unexpectedly meets with, and finally for subjugating Spain; or, perhaps, when he finds himself foiled, as in Egypt, before his shameful and cowardly skulking from that country, to avoid the disgrace of a surrender to the COWARDLY English. Who, then, was the coward, it may be asked? As whose was the INVINCIBLE legion that bore its standard? If he fears a similar result in Spain, he may be meditating a plan to depart from the scene of it, to throw theodium off his own shoulders, by fixing it on an inferior. Yet we fear, so long as he can import his numerous supplies of robbers from France, and can find means to subsist them by any means whatever, at the risque of "pestilence and famine," and every destructive measure of wanton carnage and unfeeling bloodshed, he will have little remorse in sacrificing his conscripts or his veterans, to satiate his ambition or to glut his revenge, by myriads and myriads. Yet by an indirect communication we have heard something of his return to Paris, and from thence to Bordeaux; but in such a circuitous way, that it can only be in our opinion, as an alarm to the emperor of Germany. In the present state of the Continent, we cannot see what other object he can have in view, by going so far out of his way as Frankfort? Through the medium of Dutch papers, news from Paris, so late as the 17th, take no notice of the Spanish papers; though the contests between Marshal Ney and General Blake were only about 450 miles distant from it. Perhaps they were not interesting enough to be transmitted as speedily as might have been, especially on the earlier days of these hard fought engagements. We are preparing ourselves however, to look for some earlier intelligence, which from the Spanish information recently arrived, will no doubt be magnified into a total annihilation of the Spanish army.
PORTUGAL
Affords us but little information, excepting the existence of a mal-content party at Oporto, to which we sufficiently alluded in our last. We should have wished to find that the Portuguese were more hanguine in their own cause, and that they had the spirit of emulation in a higher degree than seems at present to possess them. We should be very reluctant in coupling such phlegmatic disposition with the causes or the convention of Cintra; though we have had our thoughts long treasured up in this subject, which we deemed it most prudent and politic to withhold. Far be it from us to attempt to influence the public mind, and by rash indiscreet means, to injure the cause we profess to espouse and support. Enquiry and too much has been said upon that subject; though we may soon expect to hear a little more of it, now that sir Harry Burrard has arrived, to give in his narrative. Without that we are ready to admit, that enquiry would not have been complete; but in advertising to the very few hours that the chief command devolved upon him, and in the part he took in the arrangement of the convention, we cannot help thinking, that he and the other gallant officers might have been much better employed in Spain, than in being recalled how to give in a narrative of what commences, in our steady and uniform opinion, from he first could scarcely be ignorant of. But when persons, ignorant either of

or naval affairs, or the nature of a country or its approaches by water, will be found to be a most interesting and useful subject, and to clamor imperiously at our hands, no wonder that such confusions are produced, and so much animosity and violence excited. We have a right to feel excited in the correctness of our remarks; and we can have no reason to fear that they will be shaken by any testimony which is to be given.
SWEDEN,
Since our last, has afforded us information of the recommencement of hostilities. In a part of our last impression, we had the satisfaction of stating, that our first honor from the Russians, the first fruits of which were so very imperfect, were not well founded. For the honor of human character, even in an enemy, we have a pleasure in relating, that in this respect the strictest honor was preserved.—The result of the measure, on the immediate resumption of hostilities, was ultimately in favor of the Swedes.
AMERICA
It maintains the measure of the embargo, in which its President inflexibly perseveres in France. Much expectation is attached to the commercial world to the suspension of this odious and destructive measure, on the meeting of Congress; but whether the federalist party will be enabled to succeed, we must for some further time remain in uncertainty. Speculation, however, is afloat on the subject both in that country and in London; and even policies are said to have been opened, on the probability otherwise of this taking place on or before New Year's Day.
RUSSIA,
The emperor on his return to St. Petersburg, was received with none of those marks of respect, which the people have usually manifested on similar occasions. Letters have been sent of the 4th ultimo; which state that the public discontent was daily increasing, against his tame subserviency to the Corsican despot, the tendency of which was not difficult to imagine, that cautious language they contain, is a proof that they have not expressed the whole of their sentiment.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
BOSTON, February 2.
The Blockade of our Harbor,
NOT BY FOREIGN AGGRESSION—BUT DOMESTIC TYRANNY.
Within a few days past, colonel Boyd, commanding at the Castle, received orders from the Secretary at War, to interdict all vessels from passing Fort Independence: in consequence of this EDICT, the collector has been placed under the necessity of withholding clearances to every description of vessels.
This aggravated opposition was not generally known till yesterday, when the vessels in the harbor with their colors in black and hoisted them half mast. The circumstance has created some considerable agitation in the public mind, but to the honor of the town, has been yet unattended with any serious consequences.
It is presumed, that this new edict will at least continue to be enforced, until Secretary Dearborne is at leisure to come on, to mark out his favorites, and take upon himself the office (so long reserved for him) of the customs.
The spirit of our citizens is rising, and may burst into a flame. Every thing should therefore be done to calm them, till the Legislature has time to mature its plan of redress. It is feared, the caution necessary in such an assembly, will protract our relief too long; but we must wait patiently the aid of Constitutional Guardians, rather than in the character of this metropolis by mobs and riots. If our government cannot do any thing now, that shall afford full and competent relief, they may at least do enough to calm the public mind, and lead the citizens to wait for events, which must place the means of a radical cure completely in our hands.
The spirit of New England is slow in rising; but when once inflamed by oppression it will never be repressed by any thing short of complete justice.

The Ann has been absent for nearly two years she was detained six months by the Arabs at Mocha, and after her release, not being able to procure a cargo there, was proceeding to Penang for information, when she was captured by the English frigates Fox and Caroline, and sent to Madras; after a long delay, was tried and liberated.—The condemnation of the Ann would have been too flagrant a violation of every principle of the law of nations, or of equity, even for a British court of admiralty; but it would have been repugnant to their principles to have done complete justice. Captain R. was, therefore, obliged to pay the costs of suit, and even the store hire, and carting of the specie, which they took out on the arrival of the Ann. Whilst in their possession, the Ann lost three cables and anchors, one suit of sails, her boat and bowsprit, and as much injury was done to her tackle and apparel as lay in their power; all which capt. R. was obliged to repair at his own expence.
Captain Russel has been imprisoned between the English and Arabs nine months, and is at a loss to decide which nation is most entitled to PREEMINENCE IN VILLAINY.
Came passengers, capt. Newell, late master of the brig Creole of Boston, Mr. Chas. Foulkes, second officer, and Mr. Cacob, passenger. The Creole was condemned at Madras for having touched at the Isle of France on her outward passage—another instance of British rapacity. She was bound to Boston with a cargo of piece goods, having touched at the Isle of France and sold her outward cargo—On the afternoon she was to have sailed, she was taken possession of by order of capt. Pellew, of the English frigate Phaeton. Capt. Newell was detained a close prisoner on board the Creole for fifty-four days; after repeated applications, he was permitted to go on shore, but his request for a deficiency to defray his necessary expenses was, by admiral Pellew, with his characteristic brutality, insolently refused, with many illiberal reflections upon Americans in general, in a style peculiar to the Admiral.
Mr. Cabot, a passenger from the Isle of France, who was returning to his friends & family in Boston, after a long absence, was sent ashore to Poonamalle, a depot for prisoners of war, about 15 miles from Madras, where he was detained from the time of the seizure of the Creole, (the 9th May) until the 28th Sept.
The Creole's crew was turned ashore on the burning sands, without a shelter, or the means of subsistence; and it was even ordered by capt. Pellew (a worthy son of such a sire) to turn them naked on the beach. After wandering about several days, one of which they passed in prison, they found relief in the charity of capt. Edwards, of the American brig Brutus, in which vessel, and the Eugenia, of New York, they took passage. The probable motive for such execrable treatment, was their refusal to enlist in the Phaeton.
The foregoing is but a faint sketch of these rapacious scoundrels with respect to the Creole.
The ship Holland, from New York for N. Orleans, 10 days out, was spoken by the Ann.
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8.
Rumor says the ministerialists have held another caucus, at which it was determined the embargo shall be raised on the fourth of March, and if our differences are not settled with France and England by May, a non-intercourse law to take effect.
Embargo to be repealed. —If Mr. Madison's paper is entitled to any credit, the cabinet is at length determined to raise the Embargo on the 4th of March, as a popular introduction to the new president. The reasoning of the Monitor runs thus.—The embargo was intended to preserve our property, and to coerce Great Britain, but as the frequent evasions of the law, and the Spanish revolution have adulterated its efficacious coercive qualities, it is to be immediately repealed. That is we have been fighting with Great Britain upwards of a twelve month, we have been ruining ourselves to coerce her into a concession of our demands and we now suddenly relinquish the project as fruitless.
Relieve us from such wise and consistent politicians! After carrying such a high head and threatening to lay England upon her back, we very politely turn upon our
heel, make a low bow, acknowledge our folly, and tell the British ministry we are at length satisfied they are not to be bullied.
However it seems it is at length determined that the embargo will be raised in two or three weeks, and we congratulate our fellow-citizens, who have been so long ground down to poverty and want by an unwise measure of government, that they will speedily find relief. It is the people who have saved themselves. We give no credit to the cabinet. If the people had permitted it, the administration would have continued the nation in alliance with France against England, 'till doomsday.
The holders of domestic produce, will soon be relieved from their burthens. We understand that flour has risen to 7 dollars, and we have no doubt in a day or two it will be eight, or nine. Who would have thought it possible that so old and hardened a political sinner would ever have acknowledged an error, and retracted his steps? Wonders never cease.
(Fed. Rep.)
By an arrival at Newport, R. I. we have advices to the ninth of last month from the Havana.
Business there was brisk and thriving—In their marine register (for they have such a register, the embargo notwithstanding) we notice the arrival of 27 vessels from different parts of Europe and the United States, from the 28th December to the 2d January, and clearances to the number of 15. Provisions and dry goods were plenty—Flour at 20 dollars—and ten vessels there in port laden with that article. A number of American vessels had been driven in there, thro' stress of weather; they had been "embargoed," even there, for the want of regular papers; but there was no doubt that the government would have a due consideration for their distresses, and finally liberate them.
The San Justo, a 74 gun ship, had returned from La Vera Cruz; and was advertised to sail shortly for Old Spain, under the command of the marquis del Real Tesoro.
A fine trade was carrying on with Great Britain and the British West India islands; and also a direct one with the mother country. We observe 3 Spanish ships advertised for the port of Cadiz alone.
[New-York Gaz.]
DESPOTISM. —If you want to know the most desperate and secret designs of the administration consult the Baltimore Whig. The following is from that print.
"Baltimore, Jan. 25. General Wilkinson and suite embarked yesterday for Charleston, in the schooner Woolf. From Charleston he will sail to New Orleans in the Hornet sloop of war. The presence of this gallant man is much wanted in Louisiana where the "baffled band" of Burr, carry on the most infamous intrigues. The courts are rotten; and the people, too generally despise the American government as devoid of energy. A letter from one of the first characters at Orleans authorises me to make this last remark. Mark the courts—for they are the strong holds of disaffection."
Here is a plain avowal that Wilkinson, the infamous Wilkinson, is sent down to New Orleans at the head of the army to put down the courts of justice. Are the people prepared to submit to this? Is there no man in either house of Congress who feels it to be his duty to institute an enquiry? (N. Y. Ev. Post.)
Massachusetts Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Memorials, calling upon the legislature for their guidance and protection at this perilous moment, in the affairs of our country, have been presented and read, from the towns of Boston, Gloucester, Newburyport, Hallowell, Brewster, Beverly, Rowley, North-Yarmouth, Hadley, Plymouth, Portland, Bath, South-Hadley, Augusta, Oxford, Sandford, Lyman, Wells, Georgetown, Brunswick, Vassalborough and Wiscasset. They do credit to the heads and hearts of our citizens, and will have their weight in the decisions, both of our national, as well as state government.
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1.
A committee was appointed to enquire whether any improper attempts have recently been made in the congress of the U. S. to restrain the freedom of debate, and whether a free investigation of the measures of government in the house of representatives, by any representative of the people of Massachusetts, has been made the ground of public and personal insult, by other members, with the apparent view to intimidate him in the discharge of his duty, or to force him to the alternative of hazard-
ing his life in defence of his honor, or of losing his influence and usefulness in the public councils, to the injury of his constituents; and to enquire whether it be expedient that the legislature should express any opinion or take any resolution thereupon.
FORGERY.
A young man was arrested in this city on Thursday evening last, on suspicion of being concerned in counterfeiting bank notes.—Notes on the bank of the United States—Pennsylvania bank—and some of the Jersey banks, to the amount of 3975 dollars, were found on him and in his saddle bags. Some of the notes were signed and others blank.—It is a fact not generally known, that all Five Dollar notes of the bank of the United States are counterfeit. They issue no note for less than ten dollars.—Philadelphia paper.
The next Dancing Assembly will be held at Mr. Caton's Hotel, on Thursday next, the 9th instant.

Ten Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the first instant, a Mulatto Man, a slave, named BILLY, sometimes calls himself William Jordan Augustus—his color nearly as light and approaches that of a white man—his hair is straight and he generally wears it platted and turned up behind with a comb—his visage is remarkably thin, and his cheek bones high—he has been brought up in the house and is a very good dining room servant—is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight built—his constitution is not strong and he is subject to indisposition—is about 30 years of age. I cannot describe any part of his cloathing, except that he wore a blue coat and a silver watch.—As Lilly is related to some mulattos emancipated by R. B. Lee, Esq. who live in the neighborhood of Alexandria and George-Town, the probability is that he is to be found in that neighborhood. I will give the above reward and reasonable charges if brought home.

Valuable Family Medicines. The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by James Kennedy, sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria. Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store, No. 65 Maiden Lane. This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our Bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman. From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require. In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney. During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints. Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative, Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskillful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.
Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Which there is reason to believe, have, within eight years past cured upwards of two hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from WORMS and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.

ITCH OINTMENT, Warranted to cure by once using, and be free from Mercury or any pernicious or offensive ingredient, &c. may with perfect safety be applied to the youngest infant. Hannah Lee, Patent Medicine Store, New York, Sept. 10, 1808.
ALSO, The following new and valuable Medicine, received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.) Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance to the preservation of health—this common remark however is too often forgotten whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Clets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pain from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Seafaring 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, or other 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 preparations 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, hardware 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.
