TREASURER'S REPORT.
(Concluded.)
The Louisiana stock cannot be reimbursed before the period fixed by contract; the gradual operation of the annual reimbursement will extinguish the old six per cent. in the year 1818, and the deferred stock in 1824; after which year, the only remaining incumbrance will be the interest on the three per cent. stock, which in its present shape, may be considered as irredeemable. Purchase cannot be relied on, as the application of even an inconsiderable sum would raise the stock above the prices limited by law. It follows that all the species of debt, on which the entire annual appropriation of 8,000,000 of dollars could operate, will have been reimbursed prior to the year 1809; that the remaining debt cannot, without some modifications, be assented to by the public creditors, be more rapidly or completely discharged than is here stated; and that the annual payments on that account, will, after the year 1808, and prior to the year 1818, be reduced to the interest and annual reimbursement, amounting to near 4,600,000, as will more fully appear by the annexed table, marked (G.)
IV. The revenue derived from customs during the year 1802, which was a year of European peace, was much less in proportion than that of any of the immediately preceding or following years, and yet exceeded ten millions of dollars. As it has been ascertained that the population of the United States increase at the rate of thirty five per cent in ten years; the revenue derived from customs for the year 1812, may be estimated at thirteen millions five hundred thousand dollars; to which, adding only five hundred thousand dollars, for the annual proceeds of the sales of public lands, will give fourteen millions of dollars for the total revenue of that year, or for the average revenue of the years 1809 1815. And this must be considered as a very moderate computation, since it does not include the revenue derived from New Orleans; is predicated on the supposition, that the wealth of the United States increases in no greater ratio than their population; and does not exceed the sum, which exclusively of the Mediterranean fund was received last year into the treasury.
The annual payments on account of the public debt, will, during the same period, amount, as has been already stated, to 4,600,000 dollars. All the other expenses of the United States, whether domestic or foreign, of a civil nature, or for the support of the existing military and naval establishments, do not at present exceed 3,500,000 dollars. The total annual expenditure, allowing four hundred thousand dollars a year for contingencies, may therefore be estimated after the year 1808, at eight millions and a half; which deducted from a revenue of fourteen millions, will leave a net annual surplus of five millions and a half of dollars.
The question now recurs whether a portion of that surplus would not be most advantageously employed in hastening the reduction of the debt? Whether a mode may not be devised to provide, within a short period, for its final and complete reimbursement, and thereby release the public revenue from every incumbrance. This can only be effected by a modification of the debt assented to by the public creditors; and a conversion of the old six per cent. deferred, and three per cent. stocks, on terms mutually beneficial, into a common six per cent. stock, redeemable within a limited time, has appeared the most simple and eligible, if not the only practicable plan that can be adopted. For its details a reference is respectfully made to a letter written in January last, to the chairman of the committee of ways and means, a copy of which marked (F) is annexed. It would only be necessary to state that if such a plan should be sanctioned by congress, and accepted by the creditors, those several species amounting on the 1st of January eighteen hundred and nine to something more than forty six millions of dollars, would be converted into a six per cent. stock, amounting to less than forty million of dollars; which the continued annual appropriation of eight millions of dollars, besides paying the interest on the Louisiana debt, reimburse within a period of less than seven years, or before the end of the year eighteen hundred and fifteen, as will appear by the table marked (H.)
The total annual expenditure for those seven years would then, allowing still 3,500,000 dollars for current expenses, and 400,000 dollars for contingencies, amount to something less than twelve millions of dollars; which deducted from a revenue of
fourteen millions of dollars, would still leave after the year 1808, a clear surplus of more than two millions of dollars, applicable to such objects of general improvement or national defence, as the legislature might direct, and existing circumstances require. And after the year 1815, no other incumbrance would remain on the revenue, than the interest and reimbursement of the Louisiana stock; the last payment of which in the year 1821, would complete the final extinguishment of the public debt.
All which is respectfully submitted.
ALBERT GALLATIN,
Secretary of the Treasury.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Dec. 5, 1806.
CHILLICOTHE, December 11.
We understand the governor received last night, a communication from the secretary of state of the U. States, relative to the expedition now on foot to disturb the peace and tranquility of the U. S. and more especially that of the western country, with a number of the president's proclamations, one of which we have inserted in this day's paper.
It must give sincere pleasure to the officers of the general government, and to all the states of the union to find the prompt and patriotic efforts of the government of Ohio, which have taken place in order to detect and bring to condign punishment every person engaged in hostile and unlawful attempts against the peace of the union, and for arresting every military preparation that may be discovered within or even passing by its limits.
As soon as the law of the general assembly passed both houses, which clothes the governor with unlimited powers, to enable him to act with energy, and which was bottomed on his confidential communication made to them (both of which may be found in this day's paper) we are informed he sent off an express to Marietta, to arrest the flotilla and the agents employed in that quarter; and for fear it might escape and other preparations which we understand was to leave Pittsburg and other points on the Ohio, get under way, we are told an express has gone on to Cincinnati, with orders to plant some artillery on the banks there, and call out such part of the militia as will be competent to arrest and examine every boat passing down the river, and secure any military party or parties that may be attempting to get to the place of general rendezvous.
Happy for Ohio and the union, that the legislature were in session at this momentous crisis; and we congratulate our fellow citizens that Ohio can boast of as patriotic a set of representatives as ever were assembled in one body, who, to a man are feelingly alive to the interests of their constituents and the welfare of the union—and it is no small addition to our joy, that our governor enjoys their unlimited confidence, and whose exertions must endear him to every patriotic mind.
COL. BURR.
Our readers will perceive, by the president's proclamation, that it is thought against the dominions of Spain, and that by the communication made by the governor of this state to the legislature, it is thought to be against the Orleans and Louisiana territories. We understand that the gentleman who the governor alludes to in his message as clothed by the U. S. with a public character, was authorised by the president to obtain all the information he could in the western country, and who used every possible means to that effect, and also certainly discovered from a gentleman who was urged to engage in the enterprise, that it was to attack and seize the city of New Orleans and that territory, and that the person who made that discovery has been sent on to the city of Washington, to be personally examined by the president: It is therefore probable that by this time the whole affair has been more fully developed: be this, however, as it may, a little more time will entirely unfold this mysterious business, and we doubt not but the energetic measures of the general government, of the western states' government, and the patriotism of our fellow citizens, will bring all the nefarious schemes to naught, and that the intended evil will recoil, with tenfold weight on the deluded heads of all traitors to their country.
On Tuesday the second inst. the governor of this state sent the following Confidential Communication to both houses of the legislature:
To the General Assembly of the state of Ohio.
A number of concurrent circumstances, received from sources on which the great-
est possible reliance may be placed, warrants a belief, that some hostile expedition is on foot inimical to the peace and interest of the U. States, as well as calculated to prove ruinous to the peace and prosperity of the western part thereof. As chief magistrate of this state, I have a duty I owe to my fellow citizens in this state, and to the general government, to lay the information I have received before the representatives of the people, that their united wisdom might direct some means of prevention, as far as in their power, towards counteracting evil designs.
I have it from a gentleman of great respectability clothed by the U. S. with a public character, that a person near Marietta on the Ohio river, but of the jurisdiction of this state, has availed himself the agent of a gentleman high in office in the U. S. and is empowered, and is actually preparing a flotilla consisting of from 10 to 15 batteaux, 100 feet long, on the Muskingum river, and is purchasing up provisions to load the with, and endeavoring to engage active enterprising young men to sail down the Ohio, who are promised pay and rations from the time of engagement, with promises of future fortunes, &c.—that the agent proposed to two gentlemen of great respectability to join in a plan suggested by his principal, and which he had engaged in, which would procure for them ample fortunes; which plan was to attack and seize the city of New Orleans and its dependencies, the money in the bank and treasury, which amounts to upwards of two million of dollars, the military stores, and a fine park of French brass artillery, laying there, and to erect a government independent of the U. S. under the direction of a foreign European power, and finally to force or draw the people of the western country to secede from the union, by sundry means pointed out. It has also been suggested that the three different small armaments below this, on the Ohio, are preparing to join in this expedition, and if all are permitted to join, will amount to 1300 men, the force designed to commence operations with—and from which, owing to the disaffection of the people of that territory, and the expectation that the American troops will be kept in motion by another power, success is strongly calculated on. It is also strongly suspected that a foreign gentleman, friendly to the enterprise, has pecuniary means equal to the extent and wants thereof, at command.
On Friday last I received a communication from a general officer in the militia, in the first division, informing me that two boats loaded with artillery, muskets and bayonets, new, and of French manufacture, passed down the Ohio, on board of which were gentlemen who spoke the French language; that for want of legal authority he was not able to gratify his patriotic wishes in arresting them.
Under this state of things it is submitted whether the public energies of Ohio ought not to be directed towards counteracting that part of the preparing forces within our jurisdiction, on the Muskingum river, and the securing the agent preparing them if possible? And indeed, it is thought other forces may descend the Ohio from above, and which might be stopped in the Ohio while floating down towards the point of junction.
EDWARD TIFFIN,
Chillicothe, Dec. 2d, 1806.
[Here follows the act which punishes by fine and imprisonment any person who shall set on foot or be concerned in an expedition against the peace of the U. S. and authorises the governor to cause him to be arrested and brought before a judge who shall, in his discretion, confine him, or hold him to bail in four sufficient sureties, each in a sum not exceeding 50,000 dollars]
On Thursday last Mr. Cass introduced the following resolution, which was agreed to and passed both houses without one dissenting voice.
Resolved unanimously, by the general assembly of the state of Ohio, That the governor be requested to transmit to the president of the U. S. the following address:
To Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States.
SIR,
At a time when the public mind throughout the union is agitated with alarming reports respecting the existence and designs of a party hostile to the welfare and prosperity of our country, we deem it a duty incumbent on us, to express to the executive of the union our attachment to the government of the U. S. and our confidence

in its administration. Whatever may be the intentions of desperate and abandoned men, respecting the destruction of that constitution which has raised us to our present elevated rank among the nations of the world, and which is our only security for the future, we trust they will find very few advocates in the state of Ohio. We express the feelings and opinions of our constituents when we say, that no arts of intriguing men; no real or visionary prospect of advantage will ever induce us to sever that bond of union, which is our only security against domestic violence and foreign invasion. Believing that the fundamental maxims of rational liberty have guided you in the administration of our government, we hesitate not to express our full and entire confidence in your councils and conduct. Enjoying every blessing which as men and as citizens we could desire, and in a country fertile in nature's choicest gifts, we should deem it presumptuous indeed, to hazard, by intestine dissensions, these incalculable advantages. We trust that public rumor has magnified the danger, but should the designs in agitation be as destructive as represented, we have no doubt but all fear will shortly be dissipated before the indignation of our citizens. That you may long live to enjoy the confidence and attachment of the American people, is the sincere and unanimous wish of the legislature of the state of Ohio.
WASHINGTON, December 26.
In addition to the foregoing information extracted from the Scioto Gazette, letters from Ohio state that ten boats have been seized, and that Tyler and Blennerhasset had fled. We have likewise received the following letters.
Extract of a letter from the governor of Ohio to a member of congress, dated Dec. 14, at night.
"I have this night received a letter from Marietta announcing the seizure of Blennerhasset's flotilla by a party of our militia, in obedience to my orders. Blennerhasset and Comfort Tyler have escaped."
Extract of a letter, dated Frankfort (Kentucky) December 7, to a gentleman in this city.
"On the 22d ultimo a committee was appointed to enquire into the conduct of the honorable Benjamin Sebastian: the result of the enquiry was, that communications and conferences contrary to the constitution of Kentucky and of the U. States were had and carried on by Sebastian, as the representative of Messrs. Iones, Nicholas and Murry, with colonel Giozo, the representative of the baron de Corandelet, the governor general of Louisiana; in 1795 and 1797, a communication which had for its object the separation of the country west of the Alleghany mountains, was made to Mr. Sebastian, and by Sebastian to Iones and Nicholas, but not to Murry; and it was also proved that Sebastian had received in the years 1801 and 2000 dollars, as a pension from the Spanish government. He has resigned his office as judge in order to save the trouble of removing him from office."
The whole of the evidence, containing sixty pages, is ordered to be printed and a copy sent to each representative from the state to the congress of the United States.
Indictments have been prepared against colonel Burr and John Adair, but they were not found by the grand jury: the contents of the indictments I do not know only from report, which says they were for setting on foot an expedition against Mexico, a province of Spain."

FROM THE HAVANA AURORA.
[TRANSLATION]
Havana. November 26.
"By the Montserrat, captain Francis Carbone, arrived yesterday from Carthagena after 11 days passage, we have received the following intelligence. which was published in Panama, on the 21st October, from whence it was brought by a vessel from Payta.
"Captain Don Santigno Liniers, having under his command about 1500 men, chiefly veteran troops and well armed, conducted them in country boats, small schooners and gun boats, to the river Las Conchas, six leagues to the north of Buenos Ayres, and being joined by about 3 or 400 volunteers, marched with great expedition, by land, to the city, on which he made a spirited attack in several places at once, which were successful; and on the 12th of August, the enemy having lost 500 men, the remainder, to the amount of 1000, capitulated, and surrendered themselves prisoners of war, with the general in chief and his subaltern officers."
FROM THE PERUVIAN MINERVA.
RECAPTURE OF BUENOS AYRES.
Lima, 23d September, 1806.
"Yesterday arrived here an express, which left Areguipa on the 13th inst. with
the pleasing intelligence, that the victorious army of his Catholic majesty had reconquered the city of Buenos Ayres on the 12th of August. Its brave deliverer was the marine captain (in the navy) Don Santiago Liniers, who having heard of the capture by the enemy, went to Montevideo, the governor of which place gave him the command of a light flotilla of about 30 sail and 1500 men, troops of the line and volunteers completely armed.
"They disembarked at Puerto de las Conchas, where they were joined by some inhabitants of Buenos Ayres and the surrounding country, by which addition their number amounted to 2300, when they marched together on the 10th, to Retiro, where they were detained by various circumstances, until the 12th, when they attacked, with the greatest intrepidity, all the fortified places occupied by the enemy, and completely defeated them.
"At the moment of the assault, the enemy surrendered, to avoid being put to the sword, with which our general had threatened them. General W. Beresford is a prisoner of war, with upwards of a thousand troops, who now remain at the disposal of the conqueror."
In the honorable assembly of the Province of Jamaica on the thirtieth of Oct. a petition was presented from Wm. Tudor, junior, and James Savage, citizens of the United States, stating that after numerous experiments and much reflection, they are convinced that they can, with proper precautions transport ice to tropical climates and also preserve it there; that the introduction of that article into the island of Jamaica will be attended with the most salutary effects; and that it is a commerce entirely new and never before carried on by any nation or individual; and praying that the house will grant them the privilege of importing ice and snow into that island for the period of ten years, exclusive of all others, except the subjects of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Referred to a committee.
The president of the United States has recommended in his message, the repeal of the duty on salt. Without a wish of censuring the measure, we would only observe that a resolution to the same effect, was offered by Mr. Randolph, at the last session, and negatived by Mr. Jefferson's party in congress. The reason then offered for its continuance, was, the extraordinary demands on the treasury, and the public will determine whether they have increased or diminished since that period. The following contains an official statement of the number of bushels imported and exported during the last year, as also the amount of duties paid on them during that period.
SALT.
  Imported bushels of 56 lbs. 3,782,328   Exported, 12,503   Amount of bounties & allowances 190,674 dols.   four cents, reduced into bushels at the present rates, 953,370   965 873   Paying duty, bushels of 56 lbs. at 20 cents. 2 816,455   (Peoples Friend) 
The following is said to be the substance of the anonymous communication, addressed to Congress, on the seventeenth instant, by a writer who professed himself to be a foreigner, and desired his communication might be read with closed doors;
"That the United States were in great danger from France and Spain, that Bonaparte would invade us as soon as he was at liberty in Europe, that he kept many spies in the country, some of which the writer was acquainted with. The writer urged the necessity of providing speedily for the effectual defence of the United States, and recommended, that, as we have no generals of our own, Moreau should be placed at the head of an army. He stated that many French officers were disgusted with the emperor, and would willingly engage in our service. The writer promised that his next communication should be from Bordeaux."
The following cases were adjudged in the English court of admiralty during the month of September last, but have not hitherto been noticed in any American publication.
Horizon, McClure master. — This ship, under American colors, laden with a valuable cargo, also some specie, and ingots of gold and silver on board, on a voyage from Montevideo to the port of London, was captured by his majesty's ship of war Diana, Thomas J. Maling, Esq. commander, and brought to Portsmouth. It appeared in this case, that the ship and part of the cargo were claimed by the master, as American property, but the
bulk of the cargo was claimed as property belonging to merchants at Hamburgh. The court restored the ship, and that part of the cargo claimed as American property, with freight and expences, and condemned the Hamburgh property on the ground of illegality.
Helena, Black, master. — In this case the property was condemned to the captors: freight and expences decreed to the neutral master; and the question of damage and demurrage reserved.
Twende Winner, Roeloffe, master. — The vessel under American colors, with a cargo of cotton, cochineal, and other merchandise, on a voyage from Smyrna to Rotterdam, was captured by the Indefatigable, James Twokey commander, and brought to Plymouth. In this case, further proof was directed as to the cargo, the ship having been already restored.
The Fox, Drummond, master. — This American vessel laden with a cargo of Barilla, tent wine, and other articles, on a voyage from Alicante to a market, was captured by the private ship of war Botsey, Robert Harrison, commander, and brought to Plymouth, ship restored, reserving freight and expences; and further proof was directed as to the property of the cargo.
The Asia, Pearce, master. — This was also an American vessel with a cargo of various merchandise — Ship and cargo restored as claimed.
MARRIED, on Saturday evening last, by the Reverend Mr. Moser, Mr. John B. Cutting, to Mrs. Sarah Carter, of this town.
On the 24th by the Reverend Mr. Wiley, Mr. Henry Wilkinson, of this town, to Miss Mira Harper, of Washington City.

The schooner Mary and Eliza, Eliphaleet Loring master, from Boston for Alexandria, foundered off the east end of Nantucket the 17th Oct. last.
The ship's company consisting of capt. Loring Frederick Smith of Baltimore, mate, John Hall of do. Mariner, Thomas S. Young of do. do. John Evans of Alexandria do. James Vicar, jun. of do. do. & Peyton R. Harrison of New York, do. were all taken off the wreck twenty five minutes before she sunk, and landed at Martinique 12th of November by captain Lancelot Burgess of the schooner Aurora from Plymouth, Massachusetts. It is supposed the Mary and Eliza started a plank in her bottom which occasioned the above disaster.

ATTENTION!
Richard Lee & Son,
Request those persons who value their health to observe, that NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his China, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Messrs. Rick- ett's and Newton's.
Is appointed their agent for Alexandria, AND HAS JUST RECEIVED, A LARGE SUPPLY OF Patent and Family Medicines, From their Medicine Warehouse, BALTIMORE.
THE above Richard Lee and Son is father and brother to the deceased Richard Lee, of New York, and have prepared those valuable medicines for upwards of seven years, from the original receipts now in our possession. This public notice is rendered necessary by imitations of them having been lately advertised for sale in New York, Philadelphia, and other places. Effectually to counteract such unprincipled attempts we wish the public to be informed, that the genuine medicines are only prepared by Richard Lee and Son, Baltimore, and sold by Nicholas Hingston, Alexandria—Messrs. Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol Hill, Washington—Ninian Magruder, druggist, Georgetown, and no where else in the above places. N.B. The signature of Richard Lee and Son is on the outside wrappers, without which, none are genuine.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers is recommended Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son, Baltimore. 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 consequence—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 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 for use by every seaman.
Lee's genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. Lee's Infallible Ague and Fever Drops, For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermitting Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine have proved ineffectual. Not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail; which, unless early attended to, and speedily removed, injure the constitution exceedingly, bring on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints of a most dangerous & alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of; but being a very nauseous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; children and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently loat for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
Lee's Grand Restorative,
Is confidently 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 other destructive intemperance, the unskilful or excessive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period, of libidinal lyings in, &c.
LEE'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. To parents who may have children afflicted with the hooping cough.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder, to which children are liable; the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges,
Which have, within six years past, cured upwards of one 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.
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends other remedies.
Dr. Larou's Indian Vegetable Specific,
For the cure of venereal complaints. The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great proportion of them, after the skill of eminent physicians had proved ineffectual) demonstrates its efficacy in expelling the virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and in counteracting those dreadful effects which often result from the improper use of mercury. The mildness of the Vegetable Specific, is equal to its surprising efficacy; its operation is so gentle that it is given to patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system or producing any of those disagreeable effects inseparable from the common remedies.
With the medicine is given a description of symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible.
EYE WATER,
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or accident.
TOOTH ACHE DROPS,
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
LEE'S CORN PLAISTER,
An infallible remedy for speedily removing corns, root and branch, without giving pain.
DAMASK LIP SALVE.
Restorative Powder for the Teeth & Gums
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR,
For the cure of all kinds of head-ache.

CAUTION!
THE Widow of the late Richard Lee, junior, respectfully cautions the public against the compositions of Richard Lee and Son, advertised in this paper as being prepared from the original recipes, &c. &c. [See their advertisement]—The facts are; that the only and original recipes are in possession of the subscriber; that R. L. and Son, (both mechanics) were employed, with other persons, in the laboratory of the deceased; that, within a few months, these two persons, on a joint account, in Baltimore; and one other person on his own account, in New-York; have commenced making imitations of our medicines; each, pretending to prepare the only genuine articles—But R. L. and Son have advanced a step beyond their cotemporary, having had the meanness and effrontery to solicit the agents of the subscriber to take their compositions for sale, hoping thereby the better to deceive the unwary. As a further proof of what these persons are capable, the public are respectfully informed that the "experienced attempts," mentioned in R. L. and Son's advertisement, are utterly destitute of truth, no person in either of the places stated, or any where else, have conceived it worth while to imitate their imitations; which have been in existence but a few months; and more, the words are not theirs, being a copy of my advertisement to caution the public against R. L. and Son and the other imitator before mentioned.
That these persons have been capable of such conduct towards the Widow of their Relative, [whose employ had long yielded them a livelihood] and that they have compelled her to expose it, is a source of much regret, but she conceives the public as well as her own and her children's interest demand this explanation.
The subscriber admits that the Medicines have been wrapt, sealed, &c. by R. L. and Son, and others, under the direction of her Husband, and supposes they remember the drugs of which they were composed, but absolutely denies that they are acquainted with the necessary proportions; the late proprietor being extremely tenacious of the Recipes which he kept locked up in his private desk, and has often expressed his determination to keep them secret.
The subscriber informs the public, that the whole of the large stock of prepared Medicines on hand and all the apparatus for preparing them, were purchased for her, by her friends at the late sale of her Husband's moveable property, and assures them the several articles shall be faithfully prepared from the Recipes, by competent persons, when it again becomes necessary.

Caution versus "Caution."
IN this paper, under the head of "CAUTION" the Widow of the late R. Lee, jun. has made an insidious attempt to injure the reputation which the medicines prepared by R. Lee and Son have so justly acquired by their efficacy, as have been certified by the most respectable citizens of different sections of the United States.
She states as a fact, that the only and original recipes are in her possession," and that "we, both mechanics (horrible!) were employed in the laboratory of the deceased"—and, "that within a few months we have commenced making imitations of the widow's medicines."
As far as relates to the original recipes, we will only refer the reader to the affidavits of Richard Lee, senior, and of Mr. Hanna, of the house of Warner and Hanna, their former agents in Baltimore, which are herewith annexed. Our being mechanics has nothing to do with the matter in dispute; we only contend that our medicines are genuine and prepared from the original recipes of R. Lee, junior.
She says we have within a "few months commenced making imitations."—No, we have had a practical knowledge of the business for upwards of seven years, and the public are capable of judging of that time and the trifling deviation from truth made by Hannah, when she so generously informs the public of a few months experience.
We are accused of having solicited her agents to take our compositions for sale. To say the least this assertion is of the same stamp with that wherein she states "she had taken the agency from Warner and Hanna." The fact is that her former agents well knew that our preparations were genuine; they therefore relinquished the agency and recommended Mr. James Hanna, her present agent, as a fit person to continue the sale of her medicines in Baltimore. The Widow admits that the medicines have been wrapt and sealed, &c. by us, under the directions of her husband, and supposes we remember the drugs, but denies our knowledge of the necessary proportions, and that her husband was so extremely tenacious of the recipes, that he kept them locked up in his private desk.—It is an absolute fact that he never had such an article as a private desk on the premises—but on the contrary they were kept in a common till or drawer, to which we had as free access as R. Lee, jun. himself.
All the medicines prepared by R. Lee and Son, bear their own names, for the purpose of distinguishing them from any others that may be offered for sale by any other person.—Let the public make but one experiment with our genuine medicines and those prepared by her minions, and we are confident the result will be in favor of those bearing the signature of
Richard Lee and Son.

On application to me by Michael Lee, I have deemed proper in justice to Richard Lee and Son, to give the following testimony.
During the sickness of 1800, Richard Lee, jun. deceased, rented a part of my front dwelling with a back building, for the use of his brother Michael Lee, and in which he was to prepare medicines. While he resided at my house, I had free access to the building, in which I found the said Michael Lee constantly at work, weighing
drugs and preparing medicines of different kinds. In view of the fact that he was at any time belonging to the business, either in giving directions or any other matter belonging thereto—in fact, Michael Lee appeared to me to be, that his brother did not conceive it necessary. Given under my hand, this 12th day of Sept. 1806. JOHN OTT.
I hereby certify, that Richard Lee, jun. deceased, rented a dwelling and store from me in Baltimore county, between Frederick and Gay streets, which he occupied upwards of two years. I had workmen employed in said house and the one adjoining, for several months, which required my presence there repeatedly, at times, every day. I have seen Richard Lee, jun. deceased, in my store and store, for several hours at a time, while Richard Lee, jun. and Michael Lee, his brother, were employed in weighing out drugs, and mixing and compounding various kinds of medicines—at other times I have seen them distilling, filling and sealing phials with different medicines, and there was no other persons employed in preparing any for the above period. I never to the best of my recollection, saw Richard Lee, jun. deceased, in company with the business in any respect. Given under my hand, this 15th day of Sept. 1806. CHARLES MYERS.
