FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.]
In the preceding numbers, a variety of incidents have been adduced, to substantiate the existence of an association formed for the state of Kentucky to the interest of the Spanish government. Before we proceed farther to this important investigation, several concurring causes render it necessary, that we briefly sketch the outlines of the plan at present in agitation to effect the separation of the union. But to render this scheme more intelligent, it is proper that we relate the various changes and modifications which have happened in the views of the conspirators, from the year 1783, when the conferences between Wilkinson and Giozza, and John Brown with Don Gardoque, took place until the present day.
The United States have, and always will be, so long as European intrigue exists, and gold influences the mind of man, in some degree affected by the views and talents of the different foreign ministers who reside among us. Previous to the French revolution, these diplomatic spies composed a triumvirate, not indeed acting in concert; but pulling the government of the union towards their respective courts, with the various energy of their respective powers. Since, however, the remarkable era of 1789, the diplomatic orders of the Don were no longer to issue from the secret council of his Catholic majesty, but from the corrupted hearts of Robespierre and Talleyrand, to aid the tricks of citizens Terpent, Genet, Fauchet, Ader, and Monsieur Pichon and Turreau, opposed to the intrigues of sir John Temple, Hammond, Liston, Thornton, and the weak and lifeless Merry.
A short review, therefore, of the designs of these foreign actors, and their leading associates in America, will enable us with much more facility to lay before our readers the principal changes which have occurred to our view of the Kentucky Spanish Association.
The formation of the federal constitution, happening at the same period as the French revolution, gave the first mortal stab to the negotiation of Wilkinson and Brown. Soon after this citizen Terpent commenced his system of financial intrigue; but being conceived too great a friend to monarchy, he was supplanted by the clamorous Genet. The operations of this gentleman on his arrival in the United States are so notorious as to require no repetition here. Another speculating revolutionist had, however, landed in America some years before the French revolution, viz. Albert Gallatin, the present secretary of the treasury. Tossed about from his infancy in the cradle of political commotion, at Geneva, he at length sought the woods of America in company with Mr. Savary of Kentucky, to acquire that wealth and fame, which the small territory of his native state denied to him. Having for some time after his arrival taught as an assistant in some of the northern colleges, he removed to Virginia, and at Richmond became acquainted with Henry Banks, esq. a gentleman of literary talents, and then engaged, in a considerable land purchase. Mr. Banks employed him as a surveyor in the back parts of Virginia, and in this capacity he acquired landed property to a great extent. He afterwards retired to the back counties of Pennsylvania, where he disseminated those principles which there originated the idea of a separation of the states. This scheme was fostered and encouraged by Genet, transmitted to Kentucky, and adopted by many of the members of the Kentucky association in lieu of the alliance with Spain—Wilkinson and three or four of his friends excepted. Genet at New York, contracted an intimacy with col. Burr, which soon, however, was broken off by the connexion that he formed with the Clinton family, who were always uniformly opposed to Burr; and it is even suspected that the recall of Genet was in some measure occasioned by the communication made by Burr to some of his correspondents in Paris. The plan of Genet was to revolutionize Louisiana and the Floridas, and to unite them with Kentucky and the western territories, as one republic, to be in alliance with France. The great opposition of the project of Genet came however from the late general Hamilton, who united himself with the leading federal characters in the New England states, not only to frustrate the intentions of Genet, but even to destroy the interests of the western country, and force back those settlers that had emigrated, from the Atlantic states, to these endeavors of the federal party, Fauchet, the successor of Genet, alludes in his dispatch to the commissioner of foreign relations in France, dated the 31st of October, 1794.
"In touching this last point, we attain the principal complaint of the western people, and the ostensible motive of their movements.—Republicans by principle, independent by character and situation, they could not but accede with enthusiasm, to the criminations which we have sketched. But the excise above all affects them. Their lands are fertile, watered
with the finest rivers in the world; but the abundant fruits of their labor, run the risk of perishing for the means of exchanging them, as those more happy cultivators do for objects which desire indicates to all men who have known only the enjoyments which all Europe procures them. They therefore convert the excess of their produce into liquors, imperfectly fabricated, which badly supply the place of those they might procure by exchange.—The excise is created, and, strikes the consoling transformation; their complaints are answered by the only pretext that they are otherwise inaccessible to every species of impost. But why, in contempt of treaties, are they left to bear the yoke of the feeble Spaniard, as to the Mississippi, for upwards of 12 years? Since when has an agricultural people submitted to the unjust capricious law of a people explorers of the precious metals? Might we not suppose that Madrid and Philadelphia mutually assisted in prolonging the slavery of the river? that the proprietors of a barren coast are afraid lest the Mississippi once opened, and its numerous branches brought into activity, their fields might become deserts, and in a word, that commerce dreads having rivals in those interior parts as soon as the inhabitants shall cease to be subjects? This last supposition is but too well founded: an influential member of the senate, Mr. Izard, one day in conversation undisguisedly announced it to me."
Whenever we mention the term federal characters, we trust we will be understood as only alluding to that class of men who advocated and supported the measures of the late president Adams, and particularly the Alien and Sedition laws. Those men, agreeable to our prospectus, we must ever oppose, as having voted for measures diametrically opposite to the spirit of the constitution, which we have pledged ourselves to support. But such was the unhappy situation of the western people at this period, that on one hand they were encouraged to insurrection by the French emissaries; while on the other, they were threatened by fire, sword and poverty by the secretary of the treasury, at the head of an army of fifteen thousand men. The venerable patriot of Virginia then secretary of state; who exerted all his endeavors to preserve the union in a state of happiness and quiet, became the victim of both parties, of French Jesuitry and Hamiltonian intrigue; but even the instrument of his destruction was forced to confess the purity of his motive. "The pacific part (says Fauchet) and the sending of commissioners are due to the influence of Mr. Randolph over the president, whom I delight always to believe truly virtuous, and the friend of his fellow-citizens and principles." But the interference of Mr. Randolph has not yet been forgotten by the Genevan financier, who probably expected to see the three colored cockade flying on the forts of the Mississippi.—The rigid and scrupulous exactness with which he examined the treasury accounts of Mr. Randolph, but ill accords with the paper headed "provision for the purchase of Florida," which with his "characteristic caution," he put a few months since into the hand of Mr. John Randolph, to barter away two millions of dollars for the citizens of the United States.
Citizen Ader, who succeeded Fauchet, labored to produce the same effect, a separation of the states; but this project was extended to a much greater scale by Talleyrand, who during a residence in America matured the scheme and organised a company of agents gradually to carry it into execution. It had been expected in Paris, that col. Burr was to have been the successful candidate for president of the United States. Pichon, the late French resident at the city of Washington, related this to several, and in particular to a French gentleman at present living in Philadelphia. Had this event taken place as was contemplated, probably before now the Alleghany Ridge would have been the boundary of the United States. Of the various ambassadors or envoys from France, Pichon may be regarded as one of the most integrity who has resided in America; but a character of this description was not suitable to the views of Bonaparte and Talleyrand. He was therefore recalled, and the infamous Turreau sent in his place, one of the most abandoned wretches the French revolution has produced. The savage barbarity which he displayed when commander of the troops in the Vendee, has been recorded by every French journalist. In the short period of four weeks, he depopulated by fire and sword one of the most populous countries in France, to the extent of 160 leagues: "not a house, says the secret history of St. Cloud, not a college, not a tree was spared, all was reduced to ashes, and the unfortunate inhabitants, who had not perished amid the ruin of the dwellings, were shot or stabbed while attempting to save themselves from the confagration." Even at the seat of the American government Turreau is not ashamed to display his cruelty on the unhappy female he has put in his power. Scarcely a week is said to pass, that the unfortunate Madam Turreau is not compelled to seek refuge from the humanity of some of the citizens of Washington.
Such have been the characters and views of the several French envoys that have resided among us, from 1789 until the present day.—Dangerous however as their intrigues have been they were not inferior to those practised by the diplomatic agents of the British cabinet, to whom we shall now turn our attention.
The first of these diplomatic characters whom we shall notice is George Hammond. This minister plenipotentiary from Great Britain was a man of immense low intrigue, but destitute of real talents. He and several of the federal members in congress as likewise the late general Hamilton were one and invisible. Previous to the ratification of Jay's treaty, col. Connolly's plan of uniting Kentucky and the western territories to the Canadas was in agitation and we are assured even received the approbation of Gen. Hamilton, and many of the eastern federalists who were alarmed at the emigration that was then taking place from the Atlantic states, and imagined if the Alleghany ridge was the boundary between the Union and the British territories, that the harmony of the states could be more easily preserved.—The machinations which Hammond was carrying on in the western countries, are even noticed by Fauchet in his certificate to Edmund Randolph.—Fauchet says, "he said, Ed. Randolph, to me that he was afraid a civil war would soon ravage America. I enquired of him what new information was procured. He said that he began to believe the English were really fomenting the insurrection, & that he did not doubt, that Mr. Hammond and his Congress would push some measures with respect to the insurrection, with an intention of giving embarrassment to the United States." This we must believe as true, for although it comes from Fauchet, had it been false Mr. Randolph would certainly have contradicted it.—But the character of Mr. Hammond cannot be better described than in Mr. Randolph's own words. "Who was Mr. Hammond? In speaking of him too, I shall confine myself to his political demeanor. Into his breast had been transfused the largest portions of his nation's hatred to all persons in the United States, who were conceived to be attached to France. He denied to himself no opportunity of throwing an odium on them.—You never will forget sit, his long, insolent, & contemptuous neglect of the ordinary civilities due from him as foreign minister, to yourself (Washington) as chief magistrate. You were no stranger to his personal irritation against me, for my friendship to France, for my remonstrance against gov. Simcoe's invasion, for my defence of the government of Rhode Island, in reclaiming the citizens of the U. S. impressed & detained on board British ship Nautius; and for the order which in its operation ought to have prevented British ships of war from using our ports as stations from whence to prey upon the French. You often uttered your indignation at his many complaints, without a shadow of proof; and the lengths to which he might be transported by the violence of his passions, were not easy to be defined. Was this the man to be implicitly trusted for candor toward myself, or any friend to France?"
Mr. Randolph from the official station and the confidence which general Washington reposed in him; we have reason to believe, was well acquainted with the proceedings of the Kentucky Spanish Association as likewise the plan of Conolly; and we hope that his candor and integrity will not permit him to pass over such important circumstances in the history of Virginia in which he is at present engaged.
The successor to Hammond was Robert Liston, a man of equal intrigue, but of infinite more talent. The history of this ambassador will be particularly detailed when we come to treat of Blount's conspiracy. The intimacy which existed between him and president Adams is well known; and the support which he received from the federalists, proves that there was a combination formed in the United States to bring their citizens entirely into the influence of British power. Perhaps under these circumstances we ought to regard it as an act of providence, that an association existed, whose object was the separation of the union in favor of France; for the views of the two parties being so opposite, happily preserved a balance and prevented that calamity which might have taken place, had one of them been annihilated.
We trust however, and we have reason to believe, that the execrable schemes practised in the United States, by the emissaries of the administration of Pitt and Melville, have terminated with the death of the unfortunate Pierce. The murder of this man appears to have been the dying effort of the Barclay party at New York to set the United States at war with Great Britain. The scene is now changed, and when we behold the man who fought for the independence of America in the Senate of Great Britain, at this day conducting the helm of the ocean, we have every thing to hope and nothing to fear.
The elevation of Mr. Jefferson to the presidency of the United States, it is true, gave a considerable blow to federal policy, and federal intrigue, but it was out of the power of Mr. Jefferson to prevent the importation of British gold; and as long as this powerful magnet over the human mind, was in free circulation in the Atlantic towns, and even not a stranger in the House of Congress; — it was in vain to expect a total suppression of that system, which characterised and blasted the reign of the president Adams.
The person whom Mr. Fox has marked out as ambassador to the United States, is one too, whose family for the last ten years has experienced the scourge of Mr. Pitt, and has felt something of the vindictive and phlegmatic sel-
fishness of American federalism. It is known that the late lord Dean, the elder brother of the present earl Selkirk, who succeeded Mr. Merry, was one of the martyrs to the Edinburgh convention. Sunk in sorrow at the fate of his unfortunate companions, M c Alister and Skirving, he abandoned his title Dundas were even to pursue him in the United States, and New York and Philadelphia were rendered equally disagreeable as his native country. He stayed but a few months, and died immediately after his return to Scotland, at the age of 29, of a mind hurried and broken in the whirlpool of political persecution. His brother, the present earl of Selkirk, has a disease of his father, which happened soon after, with great part of his estate, and emigrated with about twelve hundred industrious Scotch laborers to Upper Canada, whom he comfortably settled at his own expense. The intention of the Selkirk family, had the late lord Dean not deterred them, was to have removed to some of the western territories of the union, the climate of which would have been much more congenial than Canada. Under these circumstances the prospect of British federalists in America, is now promising as it has been. Barclay at New York and colonel Hamilton at Norfolk, if we are not mistaken, will find it more agreeable to embrace with the marquis Yrujo, and the reverend John Mason may, when he pleases, petition his brother-in-law John Brown, to have him appointed confessor to her Catholic majesty.
It therefore must appear, from what we have stated, that the original design of the Kentucky Spanish association, has been entirely abandoned. The views of the conspirators are no longer to unite with Spain; but to form Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, the Loui iana , and the Floridas into one independent government. The advocates for this measure, differ however in one point. The majority are for effecting this measure by calling a convention of the people and obtaining the consent of congress; but a considerable number, and particularly those who at present reside in the western territories are for effecting their purpose by force of arms. The views of the latter may be perceived by the perusal of a series of essays under the signature of Coriolanus, that appeared in the Morning Chronicle of New York, in 1802 and 1803, which we knew were originally sketched on this side of the Alleghany, and have good reason to believe came from the pen of general Wilkinson himself, who communicated them to colonel Burr, who in conjunction with colonel Humphreys and Dr. Brown altered and amended them. This Dr. Brown is no relation to John Brown. He always resided at New York until within the eighteen months, when he removed to St. Louis, having been appointed secretary to general Wilkinson. During the presidential and congressional elections he was an active partizan of colonel Burr. When the election of presidency was depending he wrote two or three essays in Lang's New York Gazette, recommending Burr as president in preference to Jefferson. In the summer of 1802 he wrote also a series of essays under the signature of Brutus, which appeared we believe in the New York Daily Advertiser, and were directed against De Witt Clinton. In the fall of 1803, an able defence of colonel Burr was drawn up by Dr. Brown and Dr. Peter Irvine, the editor of the Morning Chronicle, under the signature of Aristides, and this is the last of Dr. Brown's literary labors, if we except the labors of Coriolanus of which we know.
(To be continued.)
NEW-YORK, October 24.
The schooner Venus, Oliver, which arrived at Wilmington, N. C. on the 6th instant, from this port, about ninety miles to the northwest of Cape Look-Out Shoals, in fifteen fathoms water, fell in with the wreck of a schooner under water except part of her quarter deck and on her beam ends, both masts along with the sails hoisted to them—she appeared quite new, had on her stern "VALENTINE," but could not see of what place—had a spare quarter deck, and a circle painted black on her deep waist—there was a signal pole hoisted and a piece of canvas on it, but no person on board. On her quarter deck was an umbrella and appearances of the crew trying to save themselves, some boards and the tiller being lashed together. She appeared to be 90 or 100 tons burthen.

WINCHESTER, October 20. Departed this life, on the night of Friday last, in an advanced age, Miss JANE MC-CRAY. Her remains, followed by many of her weep-ing relatives and a large concourse of the cit-izens, were interred on Sunday afternoon in the Presbyterian burying ground. This lady had the happiness to be numbered with the few who fear God in their youth, and who serve him steadily in their riper years. At the season, when the spirits are lively and the heart generally thoughtless, she was sober-minded, afraid of sin, and therefore cautious in her conduct. Happy was it for her that she obtained grace to maintain her christian pro-fession through a long course of years, and experience the sweetness and power of reli-gion to the end of her days. The sabbath was her delight, and the ordinances of God her best feast. As she lived beloved, so is her death sincerely regretted by all who enjoy the pleasure of her acquaintance. Come, ye angelic envoys come, And lead the weary pilgrim home; Ye know the way to Jesus' throne, Source of her joy and of your own.

SELECTED TOAST. May shame attend the man, who tells the Mechanic to call again for his pay, when it is in his power to discharge the demand.
We have the pleasure to state, that a do-mestic manufacture of flannel from American wool is commenced, and that the produce of this new branch of manufacture will soon be for sale at the Philadelphia warehouse for the sale of domestic manufactures, in South Third street.
Several southern gentlemen have entered in-to engagements for the cloathing of their la-borers with American manufactured coarse lin-ens, woollens and stripes.
It is remarkable that the colors of our Amer-ican printed calicoes are so much superior to the English, as almost to exclude the latter from the market. The colors of American calicoes are all fixed and will wash, and the patterns are equal to any of foreign manufac-ture.
A considerable supply of American linens, of excellent quality, has been lately deposited at the domestic manufacture warehouse. It is the produce of the soil and industry of Penn-sylvania, from beyond the Allegany Ridge; and they are cheaper in quality and quantity than any German or other foreign goods im-ported.

BRITISH INFLUENCE.
AN eloquent statesman and elegant writer of our own country, speaking of the influence of foreign nations in our councils, observes: "From the nature of our government, po-pularity is the instrument of foreign influence. Without it, all is labor and disappointment. With that mighty auxiliary, foreign intrigue finds agents not only volunteers, but competi-tors for employment, and any thing like re-
luctance is understood to be a crime. Has Britain this means of influence? Certainly not. If her gold could buy adherents, their becoming such would deprive them of all po-litical power and importance. They would not wield popularity as a weapon, but would fall under it. Britain has no influence, and for the reasons just given, can have none.—She has enough—and God forbid she should ever have more. France, possessed of popu-lar enthusiasm, of party attachment, has had, and still has, too much influence on our poli-tics—any foreign influence is too much, and ought to be destroyed. I detest the man, and disdain the spirit, that can bend to a mean subserviency to the views of any nation. It is enough to be Americans. That character comprehends our duties, and ought to engross our attachments."
The following view of the state of things in Pennsylvania, we copy from Duane's Nar-rora . As Pennsylvania has been in the hands of the democrats about eight years, it will be seen by this statement, what good things come to pass under democratic rule . If Du-ane tells the truth, and the democrats gene-rally acknowledge him as their oracle, re-publi-can government must be the worst of all possible forms.— Trenton Federalist.
Look at our present state? Is it such as protects freemen in the enjoyment of their rights? What is our boasted constitution ? In the hands of your governor a mere nose of wax ! What are your laws ? An unintelligible jargon, dependent upon the caprice and the whim of judges educated in England or in English pre-judices! What is your boasted trial by jury ? Anan! What chance of justice for democrats with packed juries, and prejudiced judges! Remember what has been done by sheriffs and marshals. Look at your marshal, who was appointed to do you justice, in the room of a man removed for doing injustice—is your con- dition bettered? See him returning federal and quid-judges , until this moment! Under the pre- tence of giving equal proportions of three par-ties—unequal in themselves and two of them combined against you and civil liberty—and wherefore this charge? Let the day of elec-tion explain it. Have you any hope of a fair and impartial trial by jury, with a quid return-ing officer? Sooner might you look for republican federalists.
Behold the officers of your general and state government! Who and what are they? Are they the supporters of the democratic cause and Mr. Jefferson? No!—In league with the " common enemy ," they are endeavoring to prostrate the president and his friends—and what is more important than any president or any president's friends, to prostrate the liberties of this nation. Worse than federalists, they affect to repro-bate their principles while they give life, cit-ivity and support to their measures! You mer-it to be spoken to boldly and truly—ask your-selves if this is not the language of truth.
HATTERAS LIGHT HOUSE.
NEWBURN, OCT. 6. By a gentleman just arrived in town from Cape Hatteras, we learn that the dome of that building has suffered considerable injury in the late storms; and that the keeper purposes to discontinue the light till the lantern is tho-roughly repaired. It seems to be material to the safety of vessels navigating that coast, that this fact should be made public; lest by endea-avoring to make the light, as customary, they should run on shore by mistaking their distance from danger.
RECEIPT FOR PICKLING.
After cleansing your cask, put first a layer of white oak leaves, and then a layer of cucumbers, or whatever your pickles consist of, and so on fill your cask; inter-sperce between each layer dill seed, mus-tard seed, horse radish, &c. and to every twenty cucumbers one bell pepper. From a composition of clear salt and water, not hardly sufficiently strong to bear an egg, to every gallon add one quart of good vinegar, scald and skim this pickle, and after cool-ing to a degree of blood warmth, add it to your cask and cover it tight. If rightly performed, this method will preserve pickles the year round, and forms a very agreeable sauce.— Agricultural Re-gister.
When the body of the illustrious hero of Trafalgar was put into a cask of spirits to be transported to old England, the bung accident-ally fell out and one of his lordship's fingers made its appearance at the opening. A sea-man who had for some years served in the ad-miral's ship; seized the hand, and giving it a cordial gripe, at the same time wiping away a tear that glistened on his weather-beaten cheek, exclaimed "D—n me old boy, if you are not in better spirits than any of us."
Copied from an Irish Provincial print. "On Monday last a fire broke out in the house of Mr. John Fleming, of Arran. It was making its way into the cellar, but was prevailed upon to stop its course and to take a copious draught of water, which not only allayed its thirst, but cooled its courage, on which it went quietly to rest."
SIR, I offer you the enclosed at the particular re-quest of a friend of the deceased. By being so obliging as to give it a place in your paper, you will confer a favor on Yours, respectfully, MR. SNOWDEN.
THE knell of death, how deep the peal! How cold the heart that does not feel, Nor shrink from such a sound! But O when those, whose spirits flown, Was long and intimately known, The grief O how profound!
Is he then so esteem'd no more? Is the last parting struggle o'er, His heart no longer warm? O yes he's gone, gone past retrieve; The grave's in waiting to receive, His icy, pallid form.
He wak'd to health but yesterday; The pulses of his heart in play, But soon they ceas'd to beat; While yet 'twas morn they sunk to rest, His gen'rous, sympathetic breast, Had lost its lambent heat.
Nor was it strange his feeling heart Should prove the ailing, fatal part, Nor would it held so long, When toss'd with sympathetic throes, And agoniz'd with others woes, But made of texture strong.
O was his grave but form'd beside Some happy infants who had died, Ere they could give offence; How sacred would the spot have been, O how congenial to the scene, Of sleeping innocence!
For he was gentle as a lamb, That plays around his bleating dam; As peaceful was his life; O was the world but such as he, No hate, nor malice would there be, No envy, fraud, or strife.
His hand was ever ready still, And he perform'd with gen'rous will, What e'er that hand could do; His arm sustain'd the sinking frame, Of sick and aged, poor and lame, Without parade or show.
But those who knew him best can say, Those friends now weeping o'er his clay, The virtues he possess'd; And lang will they lament the blow, That laid the gentle Nevis low, With sympathetic breast.

LEFT my plantation near four weeks past, NEGRO MOSES—He is about 6 feet 1 or 2 inches high, his complexion between a dark yellow and black, not a very pleasant countenance, has been accustomed to go by water on board small crafts, is a good hand at the whipsaw, and otherwise handy, chews tobacco, and is very fond of ardent spirits—I am told that he has a large scar, or lump, on the back of his neck, occasioned by a wound, is between 35 and 40 years of age. He came, some years past, from Northumberland county, with the family of a Mr. Edwards, to whom he then belonged; hath since belonged to Mr. Lindsey, near Colchester, and is well known in that neighborhood. I have been informed he has or had a wife at Mr. White's, in Alexandria, and have some information that he will attempt to go to Northumberland, or on board of a vessel.

THE FOLLOWING New and Valuable Medicine, Is just received for SALE, by the Subscriber, at his Store in King-street. PRICE—TWO DOLLARS PER BOTTLE. Dr. TISSOT'S Celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops. NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Spasms, Gleebs, 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 most expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and 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 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; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder. THOMAS KELSO. Baltimore, July 22d, 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 operates so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
