Foreign News Continued, FROM LONDON PAPERS Received at the Office of the Norfolk Ledger. HAMBURGH Oct. 28. To day the post set off from hence for Copenhagen, being the first time for two months past.
October 31.
The Dutch mail which arrived yesterday, was found full of letters from England, they were opened and burned. They were filled with lamentations upon the stagnation of trade upon the interruption and difficulty of correspondence, upon the constant fall in the price of colonial produce, and upon the sad efflicting prospect for the future. These letters mention, that there is now no other means of communication with the continent but by the way of Gotterburg and Holland.*
The schemes which the English merchants take for corresponding with the continent are difficult to be believed. The greatest part of the letters are not signed, dated Vienna, others only inclose accounts current. These devices which they have recourse to evidently shew to what a sad condition the country is reduced. Whether they write their letters in English, German or French, or whether they date their letters from Vienna, Stockholm, or any other place, it may be directly seen upon running them over that they came from England. There is but one opinion here, which is, that England cannot continue in its present situation, and that if the measures which have been taken in Holland and upon the Weser are executed, the reign of the infamous men who have sworn eternal war, will not be of long duration. Their hideous policy will hold them out to the world like men covered with the leprosy, who are thrust out of society with horror; for, excepting these oligarchs, the English people are of the same opinion with the rest of Europe, that it is necessary there should be a maritime law common to all. With the rest of Europe they have the sentiment of what is right, and they reject the idea of injustice and of what is arbitrary.
* Holland, since the new measures which she has taken, will no longer correspond with England. The English trade must find the whole continent shut, and those enemies of all nations must be excluded from the common right—Woe be to the town which yielding to the egotism of the moment should betray the common cause!—There are people who only know how to complain; they ought to know how to suffer with courage; to take every means of hurting the common enemy, and to oblige him to acknowledge the principle which directs all the nations of the continent. If Holland had taken these measures since the blockade perhaps England would have already made peace.— Moniteur.
RENSBURG, Nov. 6.
Patent relative to the punishment of persons in Sleswick and Holstein, carrying on any trade or commerce with the enemies of the country.
We Christian VII by God's grace king of Denmark, Norway, &c. make known hereby, that as all trade and commerce between our enemies and the subjects of this country has already been declared criminal, during the present war, by our decree of the 9th of September last, we have thought proper to enact the following penalties against persons who may be found offending.

Britain though carried on by the means of a third person or party, shall be punished with a severe imprisonment, but if the said correspondence shall have been carried on immediately between our subjects and the enemies of the country the former shall be punished with death.
"II. Further the goods the object of the said commerce, shall be confiscated, if found, but if not forthcoming the criminals shall pay the value of them.
"III Any person giving information of any such trade or commerce, shall upon conviction of the parties accused, receive a reward from our royal treasury of from 50 to 100 six dollars for each offence, but which shall also be repaid by the party or parties convicted.
"IV. Over and above the reward specified in sec. 3. the informer shall be entitled to half the value of the property confiscated.
"All persons whom this may concern are hereby called upon to take notice.
"Given officially under our hand and seal, in our town and fortress of Rendsburgh, Oct 30, 1807.

DARDANELLES, Oct 14.
Evacuation of Egypt by the British.
Translation of a Turkish despatch presented by his excellency Mouhammed Ali Pacha, governor of Egypt, to his highness the Caimakan Pacha.
[Upon the upper margin, to the left, is written the following note in red letters, probably by the Reis Effendi: "This is a despatch of your slave, Mouhammed Ali Pacha, governor of Egypt."] "To his highness the most high, most fortunate, most generous Lord, my most respectable and most honoured Brother."
"The supreme will of his highness being that the impure presence of the English infidels, who had at the time taken possession, by surprize, of the fortress of Alexandria, should cease to sully this territory, and that the said fortress should be, with the help of the most high, retaken, and submitted to its lawful possessor, in order to conform to the noble command, the frontispiece of which was decorated with the sacred character of the imperial hand, and addressed to the undersigned, his most humble slave, I hastened to assemble every thing that was necessary to the success of this military expedition: and from the first day of the moon of Djemazied Oughra (about the eighth of August) I set off from Cairo at the head of all the cavalry, and the flower of the infantry, marched straight against the enemy.
"I pitched my camp in the plain of Damenkhor, six leagues from the place called Sed, an intrenched post of the English. I sent during the night a few light horse to the spot, for the purpose of reconnoitering the position of the English, and the means to be taken for surrounding them. I marched forward myself, and secured the most proper place for the raising of my batteries, and for the introduction of the armed boats and gun barks into the two lakes, which are upon both flanks of the Sed. This operation, performed in the silence of the night, having lasted for some time, could not be concealed from the knowledge of the boats which the enemy kept stationed upon the lakes. Accordingly, he fired many cannon shots, which happily did us no damage. However, this first movement on our part had already given him the alarm, and the next day we saw arrive, with the major who had been sent to me twice before as a negotiator, the second in command of the English forces, accompanied by two other persons, and who took the title of plenipotentiary, appointed both by the commander of the squadron, and by the gen of the forces, to conclude peace. The plenipo' produced in support of his character his credentials. The sense of these writing, the language of the bearer, and the result of the conference, amounted upon the whole to these few words:
"Is not the demand you make in the name of his highness your powerful emperor, the restoration of the fortress of Alexandria? Return us our prisoners who fell into your hands in the two engagements which took place at Rosetta, and we will return you the said place. I should also have restored to you the three armed ships of his highness, had they not been sent to England; and I hereby formally engage to get them directly sent back to the sublime porte."
"These propositions, which the English made without there being yet any attack on either side, having been weighed in council, were accepted. It was considered that tho' the infidels employ cunning and craft, the sword of the true faith always predominates. On the other hand it was observed, that the post of Sed could not be carried, without landing troops there; and that, on account of the ground which the Nile leaves uncovered in its ordinary course, the landing depends absolutely on the great increase of the waters of that river, which, having inundated the whole surface of the earth, would every where favor the entrance of the boats and the gun-barks. Now the overflow of the Nile has been middling this year, and does not allow these barks to venture into shallow water. It would no doubt be possible to take vengeance, by another means, of our enemies; but if we gave them time, they might receive succors and reinforcements. From these considerations we confined ourselves to requiring some other conditions, and the accommodation was signed.
"I directly dispatched to Alexandria my Riahia, intendant and lieutenant, Mouhammed Aaga, in order to take immediate possession of the town and fortifications, of artillery, warlike stores, and other things most essential; and I myself, to-day, Tuesday, 19th of the moon Redjele (22d Sept.) made my entry into this town, which has been purged of the infidels who sullied it, and is now returned under the Musselman dominion, glory be to the Most High. So great a favor from the God of mercy, and the signal grace which he vouchsafed to the most feeble of his slaves,
in taking him for the instrument of the recapture of Alexandria, and of the execution of the Imperial will, must be exclusively attributed to the infinite merit of his highness, my most formidable, most powerful, and very miraculous emperor and master, and imputed to his fortunate star.
"The information of this conquest is the principal object of the present dispatch, which I have the honor of writing to your highness by the chief of my Tartars, and by his companion. I shall hasten to lay before your highness the circumstantial account of this glorious event, the inventory of the cannons, arms, stores, and other effects found in the town, and the copy of the act of convention, and to join to them the keys of the fortress, and of the other fortifications.
The whole will be presented to you, and laid at your feet, by your slave, Mustapha Aga, my intimate Tichichadar. This is all that I can at the first moment write here in haste. Moreover, goodness and benevolence belong to your highness, &c. the 19th of the moon Redjele, in the year of the Hegira, (21st Sept.)— Moniteur.
LONDON, Nov. 16.
Restrictions on British Commerce.
By the continental papers we learn, that the Dutch government have adopted a more vigorous decree than any which has hitherto been issued against British commerce. All colonial produce and manufactures whatever, that are suspected only of having come from England, or her dependencies, are in future to be liable to seizure. This outrageous decree against property, under the clement sway of Bonaparte, reminds us of one something similar against persons under the mild reign of Robespierre, which subjected to the guillotine any one who might be "suspect d'être coupi-conneur," "suspected of being a suspicious person." The frequency, however, with which these proclamations appear, shews in a great degree the inefficacy of them. To legislate against a people's endeavoring to supply their wants, seems almost as preposterous, as to legislate against their feeling them.
The French have assumed the complete dominion of the Elbe. A letter of the first mentions, that they had taken possession of the guard-ship at Cuxhaven; that they suffered no vessel to pass without making the strictest search; and that, if there was the least reason to suspect she either came from an English port, or had the British property on board, she was detained, and, in most cases, after a very loose and expeditious process, condemned. To give greater effect to these measures, the French were about to remove the armed ship usually stationed at Twiclenflesch to Tuxhaven. Even the Blankenesse fishermen have been prohibited from having any communication with the English, under pain of military punishment. Every precaution was taken, at the same time, to prevent any intercourse with Heligoland.
At Cuxhaven, at Altona, and at Glukstadt, the principle of the French decree against the commerce of England, is as rigidly enforced as it is at any port of France or Holland—Ships under the Portuguese and American flags are daily detained, and subjected to every species of exaction and vexation, under pretence that advice had been received of their coming from England.
November 21.
Among the articles in the French papers, that lately reached this country, there are two which we think peculiarly deserving of attention: the first relates to the treaty between Russia and Turkey, and latter of the future condition of Stettin and Danzig.
We before gave as our opinion that the contending claims of the emperor Alexander and the sublime porte, would be adjusted by the interference of France, and that she, like the umpire in the fable, would seize a large portion of the disputed property as her own share. It now appears, that the final terms of the treaty, which was begun in Silesia, are to be settled in Paris. Bonaparte first ordered the respective forces of the two powers to recede mutually from the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia; and it now remains to be seen how great a portion of that fertile country he may be pleased to claim for himself, or some of his adherents, to which he has absolutely not even the slightest pretence of right. We shall only remark, upon this subject, that M. Caulincourt must possess as much address in speech as he shewed dexterity in action, when he carried off the unhappy duke d'Enghien, if he can persuade the emperor Alexander, that it is for his advantage to recede so far from the south of Europe as the treaty, to be concluded at Paris will probably compel him; for nothing can be more obvious, than that whoever possesses the province above-mentioned, possesses also a free and undisputed passage to the Ukraine, and from thence to the very heart of the Russian dominions; besides being in the rear of Austria. The mere nominal independence of these powers must be gone, if the French obtain a firm settlement beyond the Danube, with a communication to it from the north of Italy; and this communication can never be wanting, when we observe the ambiguous state of Trieste, the final assignment to France of the country of the Cattaro, the great event of the kingdom of Italy (as it is called) eastward, and
the facilities afforded by the possession of the Venetian Friuli.
Dantzic and Stettin, too, it appears, are to contain French garrisons; and from those places, as well as from the islands of Rügen, Usedom and Wollin, and indeed the whole of Swedish Pomerania, a number of cruisers will no doubt be fitted out to annoy and intercept the trade of the Baltic, as well as to prevent the introduction of British manufactures into the states bordering on that sea. But this measure of Bonaparte's is prejudicial to England, what is it to Prussia? It was almost an unnecessary step in that power to procure the admission of the British flag into its ports, if the enemy of Britain is to possess such important situations in the line of her coast as those of Stettin and Dantzic; the whole maritime trade of her remaining dominions will undoubtedly be under the direction of the military government of those places, and no less will the internal traffic of them be subject to the same controul, as the order flows through the centre of Prussia, and at the distance of only a few ports from Berlin itself. We do not wonder at the aversion indicated by the king of Prussia to re-visit the capital.
November 29.
His majesty's proclamation on the right of search occasioned a great variety of remarks among the British Journalists: we are therefore tempted to lay before the public the manner in which this document is viewed by the enemy. The following remarks on that subject are extracted from the Publiciste of the 2d inst.
"The English Journals of the 19th October containing a proclamation of his Britannic majesty, relative to the English seamen employed in foreign service. This remarkable production seems to refer only to the Americans, who are the only people that employ English seamen in their vessels; and in their view the proclamation seems to satisfy all the reports which were in circulation, that the English government were resolved rather to come to a rupture than to make any concessions to the Americans. This proclamation is in effect a kind of amende honorable for the violence committed on the Chesapeake. On a strict examination, indeed, it contains principles, of which the application would be directly contradictory to the system hitherto pursued by the English government: it would condemn the bloody wars which its ambition has for more than a century kindled in Europe. In acknowledging the illegality of this odious right to search, so violently exercised against neutrals—in declaring that the neutral flag covers men, it acknowledges implicitly that the same flag covers merchandise also: a social principle, the defence of which also is the chief cause of that war which France maintains for the interest of all nations. The English government renounces the right of searching neutrals altogether. It declares with its own mouth to all the world, the illegality of those measures which it has taken for the support of its unjust pretensions."
It appears from the above that we are not singular in our opinion, that the Proclamation in question contained a recession from an existing right on the part of G. Britain; nor were our suspicions ill founded, that attempts would be made to extort further indulgencies from the facility of our former concessions. The rest of the article above quoted attributes this alteration in the tone of England to fear of the Americans; but as we are not willing to suppose this, we do not think it worth extracting.
Times.
The Appollo, an American vessel is arrived at Cowes from Cherbourg; she has brought many letters from Paris, but they are not of a recent date. By this ship Mr. Smith and Mr. Walsh, who lately left England for France in the American schooner Revenge, are returned. Mr. Smith is accompanied by some part of his family, being resident in France; and Mr. Walsh, it is said, but we believe erroneously, to be the bearer of some important communication from Paris. A gentleman by the name of Bowdon also came passenger in the Appollo, from Cherbourg, and brings with him his family, after a residence in France of nearly eighteen months. Mr. Bowdon was the person appointed by the government of the United States to negotiate for the possessions of the Floridas.
ADMIRALTY COURT—DOCTOR'S COMMONS.
November 18.
Altiana, Brasher master—This was an inimitable claim for the cargo, which was claimed under the character of an American citizen; but it appearing to the court that the claimant was a native of Hamburg, and being no house of trade or connection whatever in America, but the merely sailing in a character of a supercargo on board an American vessel the court condemned the claim to the crown as being Hamburgers property and pronounced freight and expenses to be due to the neutral master.
Two Friends, Williams master—This American vessel with a cargo of coffee, sugar and other articles, was going from Baltimore to Antwerp. The court in this case ordered restitution of the ship and cargo, reserving her questions.

LATE ADJUDICATIONS.
At the Circuit Court lately held for the county of Alexandria, came on to be tried an indictment for Forgery against Nathan C. Suter, late of Maryland. It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner, some short time previous to the commission of the crime, had passed himself to a gentleman who kept a merchant mill near this place, to solicit employment as a laborer in the mill, and was accordingly hired for a month, at the end of which he was paid off and discharged, as being too ignorant to be useful; but, during his stay, it appears that he had acquired some knowledge of the mode of transacting the money part of the business, which was by giving receipts for wheat at the mill and drawing the money for them in town. He accordingly forged a receipt for a load of wheat and drew the money, but was detected and committed for trial. He sent for an attorney, and begged his assistance, informing him that he had no money or property, except a small patrimonial estate in Georgetown, which he would endeavor to sell. Accordingly in a few days a letter was received by an old gentleman in town, known for his humanity, from Suter's father, inclosing the note of a merchant in Georgetown for 500 dollars, and lamenting the condition of his son. This note was presented to Suter in gaol, with many admonitions, from the friend; but also accompanied by some small supplies. The attorney being called in, and viewing his case as a desperate one, proposed an assistant, which was acceded to; but considerable contention arose whether, on receiving the note for collection, they should retain a fee of 50 or an 100 dollars each. The latter was finally surrendered by Suter. The trial came on, and the counsel for the prisoner produced evidence of his extreme ignorance, and contended that he was so much a fool as to be incapable of conducting the forgery so as to obtain the money, and ultimately persuaded the jury to think with them and he was found not guilty. After his discharge he obtained cloths from the gaoler and money from his attorneys and moved off, and on the counsel presenting the note for payment it appeared that the letter and note had both been forged by Suter himself.
We hear that he changed his name to Bowling and went into Charles county, and meeting with a farmer who had sold his wheat to the same miller he forged the miller's note for 90 dollars, and remained with the farmer until he induced him to purchase the note; but it being soon found out, a few of the Sovereigns pursued, and tied him up and gave him 29 lashes, without adjudication.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of Baltimore, now in Washington, to his friend there, dated,
1st February, 1808.
My stay here has enabled me to enquire & obtain a complete knowledge of the manner in which the late caucus was conducted, and of the votes of the respective states—I give it to you for your information. At the appointed time, the members were called to their seats, when Mr. Bradley addressed them in a very handsome speech. He stated that he had been chairman of the last caucus held a few years past for the selection of proper candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency; that he considered himself authorised by that convention to call the present; that he had performed his duty; and that it would now be proper to appoint a new chairman. He was unanimously called to the chair. One of the gentlemen was appointed clerk. A motion was then made that the vote should be taken by ballot, which did not meet a second. A motion was made and seconded, that the vote should be taken by ballot without denomination, which was adopted. The ballot boxes were carried about by the senate's door keeper, and opened by the speaker of the house of representatives and governor Milledge (of Georgia). The ballots being counted, a vote without denomination also was taken in a similar way for vice-president. No debate whatever was taken on the occasion. The meeting terminated in perfect good humor. The states which voted were, Georgia—All the members present except
 South Carolina—All except two or three, who were not well enough to attend.  North Carolina—All except three or four.  Virginia—Fourteen members attended, 3 were out of the city, some were sick, and Mr. Randolph and his friends would not attend.  Tennessee—All its members.  Kentucky—All except colonel Lyon and Mr. Rowan.  Ohio—All its members.  Maryland—All its republican members who were in the city, except one, who I believe was unwell, but of this I am not certain.  Pennsylvania—Ten members present, two were absent that were assenting, one in Philadelphia, and the rest presumed to be averse to a caucus.  Jersey—All its members.  New York—One present.  Rhode Island—All its members.  Massachusetts—All its republican members that were well enough to attend.  New Hampshire—All except one or two.  Vermont—All. 
Virginia Legislature.
[FROM TUESDAY'S ENQUIRER.]
We have been lately prevented by the unusual press of matter, from publishing a regular journal of the proceedings of the legislature. We shall present our readers with a general summary of the laws which they may pass, after they have adjourned, which will, perhaps, take place about the beginning or middle of next week. In the mean time, we shall seize the most important points in their proceedings: On the 19th January, they passed an act for the security of public property, in the city of Richmond—On the 20th, an act to amend an act, entitled an act, providing for the poor, and declaring who shall be deemed vagrants—On the 21st, an act annexing the counties of Amherst and Nelson [the latter was taken off from the former county of Amherst] to the district for which a chancery is held in Staunton—On the 22d, an act incorporating the trustees of the female charity school in Fredericksburg—On the 26th, an act concerning the tobacco destroyed by the burning of Royster's warehouse, in the town of Fredericksburg—On the 27th, an act incorporating a company to establish a turnpike from the Little river turnpike road, to Fauquier court house—On the 27th, an act to prevent further the practice of slaves going at large, or hiring out themselves—On the 30th, an act concerning the court of chancery, for the Richmond district.
On Saturday last, Mr. Semple asked and obtained leave to bring in a bill whose object to authorise the executive at its discretion, to arm such portions of the militia of this commonwealth, as may at any time be called into active service, or who from their particular situation may be most exposed to invasion and insurrection—according to the law, as it now stands, the arms are to be distributed according to a certain proportion among the towns and counties; and the executive was obliged to act against this law, when they distributed the arms, last summer, among the militia engaged in active service.
Yesterday the house of delegates received a message from the senate, stating that they had passed the bill: "to organize and establish a superior court of law in each county of this commonwealth," with amendments, to which they requested the concurrence of the house of delegates. These amendments were agreed to. They do not affect the principle of the bill, but only touch some of its details. This bill has therefore passed into a law. The bill concerning the sale of property under executions and incumbences, also passed into a law yesterday. Some opposition ensued between the two houses, respecting some amendments introduced by the senate, the two principals of which related to deeds of trust, and subjecting the bank equally with other creditors to the operation of this law. The house of delegates finally receded on these points. We shall lay these two acts before our readers, as soon as we can obtain a correct copy.

Pennsylvania Legislature.
[FROM THE GAZETTE U. S.]
The following resolution was laid on the table of the house of representatives of this state some days ago by Mr. Miner, from Luzerne county.
WHEREAS, the American seamen are generous and brave, and at all times ready to hazard their lives in defence of the honor and interest of their country: AND WHEREAS, many of those who have been employed in the commerce of this commonwealth, are by the embargo deprived of their usual means of obtaining subsistence, and must be in a situation to require the aid of this country for a provisional support: AND WHEREAS, it accords with the liberality, the justice and the policy of Pennsylvania at all times to protect, sup-
port and encourage this useful class of citizens.
Therefore Resolved, That a committee be appointed to bring in a bill, appropriating dollars, to be applied by the chamber of commerce in Philadelphia, for the relief of distressed seamen, who have been deprived of employment by the embargo.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
From the Portland Gazette of Monday the 18th inst.
Yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock, the citizens of this town were alarmed by the cry of Fire, which originated in Haymarket-Row.—We have not been able to ascertain to a certainty in which apartment the fire commenced nor by what means it was first communicated. It appeared that the fire commenced in a chamber over the third story from the eastern end. These chambers we understand were occupied by two Printing-Offices.
One belonging to Mr. Weeks publisher of the Freemens Friend, and the other a book printing office conducted by T. B. Waite.—The printing apparatus of the former was wholly destroyed, that of the latter were principally preserved. It was found impossible to check the progress of the flames—which quickly extended westward into the store lately improved by Mr. John Collins; thence to the large store occupied by Mr. Benjamin Willis. The fire continued to rage till it reached the western end of the uppermost block of buildings—where a brick wall prevented its further progress, the inside work of five capacious stores, together with two dwelling houses are totally destroyed, with considerable property which was in the fourth story; which could not be removed, owing to the rapidity of the fire. One small building occupied as a store, at the west end of the Row, was taken down to prevent the fire extending to other property.
It is impossible at present to make any accurate estimate of the amount of the property lost by this distressing event, and the hurry and confusion of removing so large a quantity of goods as were in the several stores. We think it will exceed 25,000 dollars.
Culprits. Among the persons convicted of theft at the late court of sessions, in New-York, was MARY HOLMES, under the following circumstances. Mary Holmes, a stout healthy looking girl, applied at the house of H. Catheart for board, representing herself as a lady of fortune just arrived from Belfast, who wanted merely a temporary retirement until she should be joined by her servants and the rest of her family. Having obtained this, she began to arrange with her landlady the manner in which it was her desire to be accommodated; and was enquiring where she could procure a woman to wash 50 dozen of clothes, worn on the passage from Ireland, when a vocal musician in the street bawled out "Carolina Potatoes!" The melody of this well known tone caught her ear, and arrested the progress of her conversation with Mrs. Catheart, who was immediately dispatched to purchase some, lest that unaccountable desire which ladies in certain situations are apt to cherish, and under the influence of which Mrs. Holmes acknowledged herself to be, might produce disagreeable consequences.—The potatoes were produced, boiled, and eaten; but to Miss Holmes the effect was almost as unpleasant as if her longing had remained unsatisfied. She felt pains in her stomach and requested to lie down.—She did so; and when she found herself alone she repaid the humanity of her landlady by stealing every article of wearing apparel she could conveniently lay her hands upon, and on this charge she was convicted. A similar offence brought her to the bar about a year ago, but she was discharged at that time from a defect in the evidence.
ROBBERY AND REWARD.
A few days since a countryman coming to Philadelphia with his waggon containing fowls, butter, &c. &c. to market, was met about three miles from the city, stoped and robbed by two negroes. He came on and having disposed of the marketing he had, was about to return home, when the Landlord of the house where he put up, insisted upon his taking a pair of loaded pistols. The request was complied with. A few yards from the place where he had before been robbed, he was again stoped by the same fellows. Remonstrance was in vain, he drew forth a pistol and shot one of the negroes dead; the other instantly fled and has not since been taken. N. Y. paper.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mrs. Lee , I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it so much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's , and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia
Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-general of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thicknes of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle or mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank , taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels; troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common 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, Glets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm 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 DR. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calvert
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 to be unable 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. Gibson, Debbin and Murphy , two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore inclined with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1805.
Certificate of Miss Thomas Campbell, Nuremberg maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affection, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dabbin 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.
