TRIAL
OF
COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
MONDAY, October 5.
[CONTINUED.]
SILAS DINSMORE.
Mr. Hay. Were you in New Orleans when general Wilkinson arrived there in November last? A I was. Mr. Hay. Did he make any communication to you? A He made a very full and general statement of the situation of the country, and of his apprehension of approaching danger. Mr. Hay. How soon after his arrival? A I think on the 26th or 27th of November. He arrived there on the evening of the 25th, and made his communications to me very shortly after his arrival. Q Were these communications made under any injunctions of secrecy? A They were. Q Were you acquainted with the state of the public mind at New Orleans at the time of the arrival of general Wilkinson? A I discovered nothing unusual about that time. Q What was the state of the public mind, after the approach of Burr was announced? Did there appear to be a considerable party disposed to favor the views of col. Burr? A A considerable party appeared to be in favor of col. Burr, and were much opposed to the measures of general Wilkinson. Q What appeared to be the general impression on the minds of the citizens, & what was their conduct before and after gen. W. exposed the plans of col. Burr? A Before the disclosure of those plans it was a general subject of enquiry as to the conduct of general Wilkinson in taking post at New Orleans, and many censured the measure. About that time several numbers of the Western World appeared, in which many severe strictures were cast upon general Wilkinson and others, which after the disclosure made by general Wilkinson at the government-house, occasioned very considerable commotions among the citizens. It became a general topic of conversation in the coffee house, in the hotels and even in the streets. I will repeat further that there appeared to be a large portion of the mercantile interest in favor of general Wilkinson's conduct, some censured and some doubted. General Wilkinson condescended to ask my opinion, having previously made a full disclosure of the dangers and of the measures which he had adopted. I did give my advice in favor of seizing every man whom he found opposed to his measures. This was after a development of the state of affairs by gen Wilkinson.
Mr. Martin. And that not to be depended upon.
Mr. Wirt. That will be a subject of discussion hereafter.
Mr. Martin. I know that.
Mr. Wirt [in a low tone of voice] to Mr. Martin. You know a good deal of those things.
Mr. Hay. Did you see colonel Burr at Washington in the Mississippi territory? A Yes. I received a verbal message from him by an unknown person, and returned an apology for not waiting on him that day but went to see him the next day. I met him in company, but he solicited no private interview and I had none with him.
Mr. Hay. Was there any circumstance which particularly attracted your notice? A No I never saw him till he was in the hands of the civil authority.
Mr. Hay. Do you recollect whether in New Orleans and while general Wilkinson was there intelligence frequently came down the river stating the approach of col. B. and his party.
[Mr. Wickham objected to the witness speaking of mere reports, as being nothing better than hearsay evidence. Mr. Wirt contended it was admissible evidence; and that it was proper to shew the state of the public mind arising from those rumors which were generally circulated to justify the strong measures which were taken. The Chief Justice said that neither hearsay nor rumors could be regarded as legal evidence, but if there be the slightest shade of difference in the testimony, that of rumor, in such a case as the present, was the most tolerable.]
A There were frequent reports to that effect. Among other rumors, Mr. John Clay, a respectable merchant of New Orleans, came to general Wilkinson's quarters on the morning of the 8th or 9th of December,
and asked to see the general; when shown to him, he observed in my presence, I feel it my duty, general, to inform you that I have received a letter from Kentucky, informing me that colonel Burr had seized on the arsenal in Kentucky (I think near the mouth of Kentucky river) and has availed himself of all the arms and ordnance stores there deposited. A few minutes after governor Claiborne came in and said, general I have received correct information on which I can depend, that a squadron of the British fleet is cruising off the Balize.
Mr. Hay. Have you ever been on service with general Wilkinson? A Not in a military character. Mr. Hay. Have you ever in a civil? A Yes. Mr. Hay. What was his general reputation as to integrity? A I never knew any thing as to his integrity but what was purity itself. So far as his conduct came within my own knowledge, it always appeared to me to be perfectly correct. Q How long have you known general Wilkinson? A It is a little more than five years since I first knew him. I have been in some service with him for months together in the forest, while we were engaged in running the national boundary line. Mr. Hay. Have you ever discovered any thing which betrayed a want of patriotism in general Wilkinson? A No. His patriotism was of the most ardent kind, such as I wish to possess myself, and could wish every other citizen to possess. Mr. Hay. Did he ever write to you about raising a military corps? A Yes. But that was predicated on the idea of a rupture with Spain.
Mr. Randolph. Have you got the letter? A I do not know. I have several letters from general Wilkinson, which I have on file; but I have not examined whether this particular one is among them or not. Mr. Randolph. What is the date of the letter? A 1805. Q What induced you to suppose that there was a probability of a war with Spain at that time? A From interviews with the general in 1803, and subsequent correspondence with him till 1805. The first was occasioned by the doubtful state of our negotiations with Spain; the second from the detention of a part of the ceded territory. From many circumstances it was supposed a rupture was inevitable. Mr. Randolph. What was the space of the territory in dispute? A From the parallel of latitude 31 degrees north, to the Gulph of Florida, and from the Mississippi to the river Perdido.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, November 5.
DEBATE
On Mr. QUINCY's motion to instruct the committee appointed in relation to maritime aggressions, &c.
[CONCLUDED.]
Mr. Gardner regretted extremely that there should be any difference of opinion in respect to this resolution before the house: his surprize was still greater than his regret. The attack made on the Chesapeake by the Leopard had occasioned more sensation than perhaps any event since the revolutionary war. It had induced the president to call Congress together at an earlier day than usual; and yet this subject had not been specifically noticed by any resolution of this house. A violation of our rights so prominent, he thought it the duty of the house to take up specifically, and to act on it accordingly; to shew that our feelings are in unison with those of the people of the United States, on the one hand and of the president on the other. He said it appeared to be the sense of the house that the subject should be enquired into; if it were already referred to a committee, he saw no objection to instructing this committee, what course they should pursue. To the same committee had been referred a variety of subjects, and he could see no indecorum in telling that committee to what particular point their attention should be directed, though he had no doubt but the committee would do what they believed to be their duty.
It had been asked, would the house say that so important a subject as this had not yet been acted upon? He presumed the house would say the truth. If the subject was not referred the house would say this, and their duty required that they should make a reference. The gentleman from N Carolina had said the subject was certainly before some committee; but he did not tell the house which committee he thought had cognizance of it. Certainly, if this aggression had been committed at so great a distance from the shores as had been represented, it was not within the power of the committee appointed under the first resolution. But the gentleman from Virginia had told them, that he did not know that this violation was committed without the jurisdiction of the U. S. If this afforded any argument,
it would be, that, inasmuch as the house did not know where it was committed, it was proper to take measures to ascertain the truth. If it were committed without the jurisdiction of the U. S. it did not come within the province of the committee who had the subject under consideration; and in order to make an enquiry, it was necessary to give them further powers. The resolution now before the house would prevent all difficulty on the subject; it tells the committee that it is the subject to which the house requires their particular attention; he thought it proper, therefore, in every point of view that this resolution should pass. He hoped that there would be an unanimity of vote on this subject; that the house would proceed directly to the object for which they were summoned together, and would act as though they were engaged in one common concern. To this end, said he, let us determine to what committee the subject belongs; they will soon report, and we shall have the subject completely before us.
Mr. Blount observed, that the gentleman just sat down had misrepresented him. That gentleman had stated that he [Mr. B.] had not expressed an opinion to which of the committees the attack on the Chesapeake was referred. He had expressly stated, that the committee of which he was a member had entered upon the subject, and that at the moment when this resolution was brought forward, he was in the act of writing a note to the secretary of state for information, and which he read in his place. The committee, nor any member of it, ever entertained any doubt on the subject. It was the first business on which they proceeded. He believed the members of this committee felt as desirous of pursuing this enquiry, and of laying all the information they could obtain before the public, as any gentleman who clamored upon it. There was no inclination in this committee to pass over this attack in silence, nor could they be justly charged with delay in giving their attention to it.
Mr. Quincy disclaimed any intention of passing a censure upon the committee who were said to have this subject under consideration. He had no doubt their views were as pure and patriotic as his own. He thought the house had not been sufficiently explicit in their reference of this subject. He knew it was the general opinion of the house that this business had been already referred, he had therefore modified his resolution to its present form. He saw no indecorum in this. So far from it, a committee ought to consider it an honor to be instructed by this house: it was adding all the wisdom of the house to the wisdom of the committee. He had no intention of making any clamor on the subject, or of offending that committee. His own opinion was that the attack on the Chesapeake was not referred at all; or, if it were referred, it was not referred to the committee, whom he proposed to instruct. It appeared that this committee and the committee of commerce and manufactures had themselves entertained doubts on the subject; but after holding a conference had determined that the committee appointed on aggressions within our ports and waters should take it up. The confessions of gentlemen themselves appeared to call for a motion like the present, and he hoped it would be agreed to.
Mr. Fisk entertained no doubt, nor did the committee who had taken up the subject appear to have any, as to the reference of the attack on the Chesapeake. He therefore conceived it unnecessary to pass this resolution. The committee had already taken up the subject, and would soon be ready to report upon it. It would therefore be very improper now to come to a resolution to direct their attention to what they are already engaged upon.
The question was called for, and taken by yeas and nays, as follows:
YEAS—Messrs. Alexander, Champion, Culpepper, Dana, Davenport, Desha, Elliot, Ely, Gardener, Jenkins, Lewis, Milner, Moseley, Pitkin, Quincy, Rowan, Russel, Stedman, Sturges, Taggart, Tallmage, Upham, Van Allen, Van Rensselaer.—24.

MONDAY, November 9.
DEBATE on Mr. G. W. CAMPBELL's motion to fill up the bill on the naval establishment.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. G. W. Campbell, said, he understood that the gentleman's objections, at
first were not against the appropriation or the propriety of making it; but now, he wished to know, whether a subordinate officer had actually paid this money, or whether it remained unpaid; and if paid, where the secretary got the money to pay it. For himself, he considered it of no importance in what manner the money was paid, whether in dollars or in bank notes, or in any other way. The president had declared that he deemed it necessary to procure these materials, because appearances indicated an approaching rupture; if they had not been procured then, they might have become scarce, and perhaps could not be had at all. The materials were stored; the secretary of the navy had said that they were purchased. He conceived it immaterial whether the money was actually paid, or whether any individual had become responsible for it. It was not usual for the committee on ways and means, or for the house to go into minutiae, or to enquire whether the money were paid in one way or in another. He asked the gentleman from Massachusetts if it was of any importance whether it were paid a month ago or should be paid a month hence. The gentleman seemed to endeavor to propose some question that would produce difficulty; he professed to be in favor of the appropriation, and yet wished to throw some obstacle in the way to obstruct its passage. Even had the secretary appropriated money to this exigency which had been otherwise appropriated, it was a customary measure. There was a time when this doctrine was advocated by the very gentleman who now seemed to oppose it. Mr. C. here read that part of the message from the president to congress which relates to this subject. He then contended that this proved that the articles spoken of were secured, and that the persons of whom they were procured were satisfied with the security of government for the purchase. If the propriety of incurring these expenses were brought into question, it might be necessary to give some answer to objections which should be offered. But as it seemed that the propriety of the measure was not questioned, he should go no farther into the subject.
Mr. Randolph said, from what he had heard of the debate, it appeared to him, that some doctrines had been advanced by the gentleman on his left (Mr. Campbell) which had not been heretofore considered as the true old whig doctrine, the true republican or democratic doctrine. He had heard it stated, with some surprise, that the misappropriation of public money, or in other words, to apply public money which had been appropriated for one subject to another, was a matter of little importance, and unworthy of being made a question of enquiry in this house. He thought very differently. He had not heard much of the debate, but he had heard enough to convince him that an alarming—a damaging heresy on the subject of politics, was likely to become prevalent in this body. Mr. R said he would take the liberty of reading an extract from the first communication which the present president of the United States made to congress, in which he recommends it as prudent to multiply barriers against the misapplication of public money, by confining expenditures to express appropriations. Mr. R read the passage to which he alluded, as follows: "In our care too of the public contributions entrusted to our direction, it would be prudent to multiply barriers against their dissipation, by appropriating specific sums to every specific purpose susceptible of definition; by disallowing all applications of money varying from the appropriation in object or transcending it in amount: by reducing the undefined field of contingencies, and thereby circumscribing discretionary powers over money: and by bringing back to a single department all accountabilities for money, where the examination may be prompt, efficacious and uniform." These opinions said he are at total variance with the doctrine now advanced—the present doctrine threatens a war of extermination to those opinions. Doctrines which were then held sacred, and on which he had always acted, and upon which he trusted he should always be willing to act, appeared now to be deserted.
The gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Campbell) had stated that there was a time when certain gentlemen sanctioned the doctrines for which he now contends. It was equally true, he said, that there were others who, contemporaneously too, defended the principles for which he now contended. Does the gentleman from Tennessee consider us as political roundabouts, to be charged by charging circumstances? If this be the fact, the sooner we know it the better.
Mr. R called the attention of the house to an enquiry formerly made into the

of general Hamilton, supported by a colleague of his now in the senate. What was the crime alleged against the general? It was, that he had applied monies appropriated for one purpose to defray the expense of another. This was the charge which was then made, and supported with great ability. Mr. Rallowed that the crisis which occasioned the extraordinary expenses in question was an imminent one. It was a critical, that congress ought to have immediately convened, in order that they might have given authority by law for these extraordinary expenses, and for adopting such measures as national feeling and national honor called for. He confessed he felt extremely reluctant to vote large sums for the support of a degraded and disgraced navy, for expenses too that had been illegally incurred. He had endeavored in vain to procure Gallatin on Finance, (which certainly ought to be in their library.) In that book he recollected a case exactly opposite to the present, where the president of the United States during the Pennsylvania insurrection, made use of money to defray the expenses incurred, which had been appropriated for a different object; but not having the book in his possession he would not venture to quote it, lest he should not do it correctly. Mr. R. concluded by saying, that when he rose he did not mean to have said so much on the subject. — If any thing had escaped him gratifying to any gentleman's feelings, he hoped it would not be ascribed to an intention to offend; but he could not withhold his indignation on hearing such anti-republican and highly federal opinions as had been supported by the gentleman from Tennessee.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
By the ship Sansom, arrived last night from Plymouth in 34 days, the editors of the New York Gazette have received English papers to the 2d of October — the most important of their contents will be found in this paper. The news respecting our affairs with England, is rather gloomy — we give it without comment. Captain Doane left London on the 2d of October; he informs that the U. S. schooner Revenge had arrived at Portsmouth, where Mr. Munro was to embark for America in a few days, his baggage having been packed up for a week. Mr. Pinckney was to act in his absence. It was reported, that the British would not give up the right of search, even of ships of war, for their seamen; that there was but little prospect of an accommodation between the two governments; that the British had given orders to detain all American vessels bound to or from enemies' ports; that the blockade of the Elbe, Elbe and Weser, was raised about the 20th of September; that Copenhagen had surrendered; the Danish fleet was to be manned by volunteers sent from England, and was soon expected to arrive in British ports; that another expedition was fitting out, to carry 20,000 troops, supposed for South America; and that flat-bottomed boats were building for this service; that the Madeira expedition had not sailed, but rendezvoused off Cork. A letter from Mr. Hawker, dated London, September 18, to captain Stevens, of the Sansom, "says, Mr. Munro is going to America, Mr. Pinckney will act, and although you may hear that his going looks like hostility, it is not so; however, I learn that this government have determined to search all neutral ships for British seamen, and it is said a proclamation will be issued in a day or two to this effect."
The London Star of September 28, says, "We are informed, and we believe our information is correct, that our government is resolved to retaliate on France by a proclamation, exactly on the model of the late French decree of blockade. Not only the coasts of France and Italy, but of every European state under the influence and control of Napoleon — as also, all foreign dependencies so circumstanced, will be declared in a state of blockade, and all vessels going to, or coming from any of them, will be declared legal prizes." "This will settle at once the clamors of the Americans respecting their right to trade with the French colonies; carrying, or pretending to carry their produce, to an American port, and afterwards to reship the same for Bordeaux and other French ports." "We understand that the definitive answer given by ministers to Mr. Munro, (who has not yet taken his departure) was
exactly conformable to the principles that are about to be adopted. Mr. Munro, it seems, was instructed to declare, that should the British government refuse to concede the points demanded by America, the non-importation act would be immediately enforced. The reply was "I am commanded by his majesty to inform you that the issue of such an order by the American government, will be considered and held as a declaration of WAR."
"On the points respecting the right of search, Mr. Munro was informed, that this country will maintain its right, not only respecting goods, but seamen — not even excepting American ships of war."
"It appears, that by the occupation of Zealand, the British have anticipated the measures of Bonaparte, with respect to that island. The Kuiphaven ship Mi nerva has arrived at Sheerness from Bordeaux, which she left 12 days since. — The captain reports, that the inhabitants there had no idea of the surrender of Copenhagen to the British; but it was currently reported, that 80,000 French troops had gone to Portugal, and that Bonaparte himself had proceeded to Holstein with 120,000 troops, to endeavor to get possession of Zealand. This captain says there were nearly 200 sail of Danes at Bordeaux."
"The last Lisbon mail brought intelligence of the intention of the Portuguese government to emigrate to the Brazils. It is said an application has been made to our government to assist them in executing plan."
Accounts from Algiers mention, that a treaty has been concluded with the regency of that country and Great Britain, by which the exclusive right of the trade of the ports of Bona, La Cala, and El Col has been ceded to the latter, for the exportation of hides, wool, wax, and 7500 fanagues wheat annually; and ceded the coral fishery on the coast.
French troops were marching from Upper Italy to the kingdom of Naples, whence it is concluded that an attack on the island of Sicily was not far distant. French troops have taken possession of Cattaro.
The island of Rugen, including all the Swedish islands on the German coast of the Baltic, have capitulated to the French.
The Portuguese government, it is said, refused to comply with the demand made by the French, to be paid the sum of 500,000l.; and has expressed a determination to embark for the Brazils, if the demand is persisted in.
Lord Collingwood sailed from Malta the latter end of July, with a squadron for the Dardanelles.
The British Parliament had been further prorogued to the 10th of November.
Gen. Fox and his staff had arrived in England from Sicily; and the command of the army in the Mediterranean devolved on gen. Moore.
The Dutch government have interdicted all intercourse with England. The regulations are drawn up by the severity which characterise every proceeding of Napoleon in matters relative to British commerce — his design is to exclude England entirely from the continent of Europe; and no choice appears to be left her, but to fight him with his own weapon, and destroy at once every vestige of a system of neutrality, and this is understood, is the determination of the English government.
Copenhagen surrendered on the 7th of September. The articles of capitulation surrender the whole of the Danish ships and vessels of war, and possession of the dock yards, store houses, &c. to the British, within six weeks from the date of the capitulation, or sooner, the citadel of Copenhagen and the island of Zealand were to be evacuated, and the prisoners taken on both sides to be unconditionally restored.

London, September 24.
Before the close of the market yesterday, a rumor was circulated at the stock exchange, that lord Malmesbury is about to proceed to Paris in consequence of a pacific overture from the French government. However probable it may be, that recent events may tend to produce pacific dispositions, we believe the rumor rested on no authority. It had the effect, however, to raise the stocks a little.
It appears that on the recommencement of hostilities between the Russian and Turkish armies (on the the termination of an armistice) the success of the Russians by land was as decided as that of their navy — when the news of the peace of Tilsit put an end to farther operations!
The opinion that a rupture will take place between this country and America daily gains ground in the city. In what tem-
per of mind Mr. Munroe took his departure is not publicly known, but it is pretty generally understood that our government maintained a dignified tone on some of the points endeavored to be wrested from this country by threats. On some of these Mr. Munroe is said to have remarked that they had been conceded by the treaty some time ago sent to America — The answer was — "True, and if your government had ratified that treaty his majesty's present ministers would have considered themselves bound by the act of their predecessors, but the treaty having been returned unratified, has now no more weight than any other piece of waste paper."
The question between this country and America may be reduced to a very narrow compass. The Americans contend that they have a right to trade with the French colonies, because France has permitted them during the war. We answer that in the very nature of things, a war in which they are not a party, cannot confer privileges on them from which they are debarred in time of peace. France does not allow America to trade with her colonies during peace, and allows her to do so during war, because it is of service to France. By the spirit of Colonial Law, none can trade with the colonies of any country but the mother country, and it follows that every vessel so trading can have no other protection in that trade than what the mother country can afford them, they become, while in that trade, the vessels of the mother country.

The loss of the inhabitants at Copenhagen does not exceed 700 in the course of the siege. The houses totally destroyed were 250.
It is reported, that the ships and troops employed in taking the Danish fleet and capital, are to be sent to the river of Plate.
We learn by a neutral vessel from Bayonne, that a van guard of soldiers entered that town, for the purpose of preparing the way for an army of forty thousand men who were on their march for Lisbon, in order to compel Portugal to agree to Bonaparte's favorite design of excluding British commerce from her ports.

Copenhagen, September 11.
The bombardment commenced on Wednesday the 2d September at sunrise, from four mortar batteries, consisting altogether of 30 large mortars; at the same time a battery of fire rockets was opened on the right, and that part of the town against which they were directed, was immediately on fire in several places.
The bombardment continued for three nights, commencing at 8 o'clock, P M and continuing without interruption for sixteen hours, that is till noon the next day, when it regularly ceased till eight in the evening.
On the third night the town appeared to be in one universal blaze on the right, and about midnight the great steeple was observed to be on fire, which is said by the Danes to have been done by one of the rockets. At four in the morning it fell with a most tremendous crash: at noon the fury ceased, as usual, but the flames spread in all directions, throughout that day (the 4th) and the following day, (the 5th); nor was it till the afternoon of the tenth that they were at all abated.
Six hundred houses are burnt to the ground, with the University and Cathedral, and only 400 houses have escaped without some damage. Two thousand persons are said to have perished in the bombardment. Another night must have destroyed the whole town; nor is there on record an instance of so much damage being done in so short a time.
On the 5th, a short time before the bombardment was about to re-commence, a flag of truce came out; of course the fury was suspended, nor was it afterwards renewed although it was not generally known till the morning of the 7th, that a capitulation was concluded, which may be attributed to the
additional implements of combustion used on this occasion.
On the 7th in the evening, the flank companies took possession of the citadel, and a detachment from the fleet landed in the arsenal.
The loss of the British on shore does not exceed 150 killed and wounded, and no more than 50 afloat.
Gottenburgh, Sept. 18.
We have nothing new from Copenhagen to day; it is said that the English sailors are busily employed in equipping the Danish fleet, in order to its being brought to England, and that three or four ships are already prepared for their departure, with the English flag flying upon them. None of the English soldiers are permitted to enter Copenhagen, on account of the distressed state of the inhabitants. Lord Cathcart's orders on this head are so strict that even general officers have been refused permission. Several merchants houses there have already stopped payment.
London, September 25.
A most important state paper has this day been published. It is a declaration from his Britannic majesty, stating the motives which have dictated his last measures in the Baltic. His majesty "had received the most positive information of the determination of the present ruler of France to occupy, with a military force, the territory of Holstein, for the purpose of excluding Great Britain from all her accustomed channels of communication with the continent, of inducing or compelling the court of Denmark to close the passage of the Sound against the British commerce and navigation; and of availing himself of the aid of the Danish marine for the invasion of G. Britain & Ireland."
The declaration then asserts that "Already the army destined for the invasion of Holstein was assembling on the violated territory of neutral Hamburg. And, Holstein once occupied, the island of Zealand was at the mercy of France, and the navy of Denmark at her disposal."
The declaration, which is of considerable length, states in conclusion that
"Notwithstanding the declaration of war on the part of the Danish government, it still remains for Denmark to determine, whether war shall continue between the two nations. — His majesty still proffers an amicable arrangement. He is anxious to sheathe the sword which he has been most reluctantly compelled to draw. And he is ready to demonstrate to Denmark and the world, that, having acted solely upon the sense of what was due to the security of his own dominions, he is not desirous from any other motive, or from any object of advantage or aggrandizement, to carry measures of hostility beyond the limits of the necessity which produced them."

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 Mr. 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 do 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.

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, thickness 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. Molthier 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. Tiffot'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, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and
will gradually destroy all tendency to 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 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 Calcutta, 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 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 Dublin 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, Haymarket 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 Durd Palsy, from which I partially recovered but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; so this was 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 Dublin 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.
