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

Mr. Crowninshield's Resolutions.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts—In the House of Representatives, Nov. 16.
Resolved , as the sense of this House, that the British orders in Council, of November 1807, interdicting all neutral trade with France, and the nations under her control, except the neutral shall first enter her ports, and there receive her licence to proceed, and pay such duties as they shall and have imposed; and the Decrees of France, inter- dicting all trade with the British nation and her dependencies, and subjecting to capture and condemnation, all neutral ves- sels, and their cargoes, for the absurd cause of being spoken with, or visited by force, by her enemies, are violations of the neu- tral rights of the United States, and their Independence and Sovereignty, and if they cannot be removed by fair negotiation, ought to be resisted, by all other means in their power.
Resolved , That in case it shall appear to Congress that all fair attempts to remove said Orders and Decrees by negotiation, shall have been exhausted, and they shall find it necessary to assume any other atti- tude of resistance, it will be the duty of the whole people of the Commonwealth of Mas- sachusetts, to rally round the standard of their own Nation, and its Government, and to afford them their utmost support by all Constitutional means in their power.
THURSDAY, Feb. 2, 1809. ORDER OF THE DAY.
Agreeably to assignment the House took up the report of a Committee on two Res- olutions submitted to the House, on the 16th November last, by Mr. Crowninshield, on the subject of the "British Orders in Coun- cil of November 1807, and the "decree of France," of no date. ( These Resolves were then committed to Messrs. Gore, Crownin- shield, Hough, of G. Morton and Ives, with instructions to report at the next ses- sion. )
The following is the report of the Com- mittee:
REPORT.
The Committee to whom was referred the two Resolutions, that accompany this Report, and which were proposed for the consideration of this House, have duly attended to their commission, and ask leave to report, that in their opinion, it is inexpedient to pass the same, for the following reasons:
BY the constitution of the United States the following relations thereof are, exclu- sively, vested in the national government: with that government rests the obligation to consider of, and act upon the doings of other nations: with it rests, also, a know- ledge of the conduct of other nations, their motives and pretensions, and how far the same may have been sanctioned, or encou- raged by the government of the U. States.
The communications, which have passed between the government of the U. States, and the nations referred to, in the proposed resolutions, are in a great degree unknown to the legislature of Massachusetts; any op- inion, therefore, of the House of Rep- resentatives, on this subject, would be found- ed on an imperfect knowledge of what re- lates thereto, and might, from the same cause, be erroneous.
The House could not rely on the partial information which is allowed to escape from the executive cabinet, much less, on that diminished portion, with which the citizens or legislature of Massachusetts are deemed worthy to be entrusted, from the secret ses- sions of Congress, for the correctness of any opinion, they might form on so important a matter. Influenced by the limited infor- mation, with which the government of the Union has seen fit to indulge the public, some persons might be induced to adopt the sense of the first resolution, and conclude, that both nations therein mentioned, had, at the same time, with equal wantonness, and like disregard of our rights and their duties, enacted the offensive Decrees and Orders; that the same measure of opposi- tion, to both nations, was alike required by the dignity and interests of the U. States, and would be attended with similar effects; whereas a complete understanding of the conduct of our government towards these nations, and of our relations to each of
them, with the grounds of pretence, for passing their several Decrees and Orders, might lead to a different result, in the minds of men, who endeavored only to arrive at a correct, and impartial judgment.
While the committee entertain no doubt on the soundness of the above reasons, for the opinion they have offered on the inex- pediency of adopting the proposed resolu- tions, yet, as from the language of the same, it would appear to be the sense of the mover, that the same motives and causes produced, from both foreign nations, the Decrees and Orders complained of, it may be advisable to state such information, both as to the dates of the several Decrees and Orders, as well as to the alleged grounds of passing the same, as have come to the knowledge of your committee. It is, also, important that the House should be pos- sessed of whatever information can be pro- cured, on a business so interesting to them, and which is made a pretence for the deep and universal calamities, which the govern- ment of the United States has seen fit to in- flict on the citizens—calamities, which press with peculiar and aggravated distress on the good people of Massachusetts.
It will readily be conceived, that the De- crees and Orders, intended by these reso- lutions, are that of France, promulgated at Berlin, the 21st of November, 1806, and the orders of Great-Britain, passed at Lon- don, on the 11th of November, 1807.
The French decree declares that the Bri- tish Islands, their colonies, and dependen- cies should be considered, as in a state of blockade; that all trade in British goods, should be prohibited, and that all vessels, with their cargoes, sailing to or from G. Britain, or having on board cargoes of Bri- tish origin, should be subject to seizure and confiscation. On the 31st December, 1806, certain commissioners, of the British gov- ernment, having then just concluded a treaty with a minister of the United States, which treaty was never submitted to the Senate for their advisement, by direction of their government, presented a memorial to the American minister, in which it was distinctly declared, that if the enemy, re- ferring to the Emperor of France and De- cree of November 1806, "should carry his threats into execution, and if neutral na- tions should, contrary to all expectation, acquiesce in such usurpations, his majesty might probably be compelled, however re- luctantly, to retaliate in his own just de- fence, and to issue orders to his cruisers to adopt, towards the neutrals any hostile sys- tem to which those neutrals should have submitted from his enemies." In the month of January 1807 his Britannic majesty issued an order for preventing all commerce from port to port of his enemies, compre- hending in said order, not only the ports of France, but those of other nations either in alliance with France, or subject to her dom- inion, have, by measures of active offence, or by the exclusion of British ships, taken a part in the present war. In the letter which accom- panied the communication of this order to the Secretary of state of the United States, this order is stated by the British minister to be authorized by the acknowledged prin- ciples of the law of nations, and to have been induced, by a knowledge, on the part of the British government that the measures announced, by the decree of the French government of the 21st Nov. 1806, had al- ready, in some instances been carried into execution, by the privateers of his enemy.
The American minister at Paris, in the month of December, 1806, requested of the French minister of Marine, an explanation of the decree of the 21st of November, pre- ceding, and was answered that "an Ameri- can vessel could not be taken at sea for the mere reason that she was going to or coming from a port of England." The French mi- nister of marine, however, advised the A- merican minister, that it was proper, that he should "communicate with the minister of exterior relations, as to what concerned the correspondence of the citizens of the United States of America with England." Another article declaring all merchandise belonging to England, or coming from its manufactories or colonies, tho' belonging to neutrals, liable to seizure, was to be car- ried into execution. This it seems was to be acquiesced in by the American govern- ment, if to operate only in the ports of France, as conformable to public law, al- though in direct contravention to the stipu- lations of an existing treaty between the U. S. and the emperor of France.*
Notwithstanding the hopes that were in- dulged, by the American government, in consequence of the reply of the French mi- nister, it appears, from a letter of Mr. Ma- dison to general Armstrong, that as early as May, 1807, it was known in the U. States, that the French privateers in the W. Indies
* See page 15 of Madison's Letter to Arm- strong.
had, in virtue of the edict of Nov. 1806, committed depredations on the American commerce—and in Oct. 1807, an Ameri- can ship, called the Horizon, bound from Great Britain to Lima, having been wreck- ed within the territorial jurisdiction of France, was finally condemned, under the French decree of Nov. 1806.
If any doubt ever existed, as to the in- tention of France to execute this decree against the U. S. it must have been remov- ed, after the conduct of her cruisers in the spring of 1807—Her condemnation of the Horizon in the following October, left not the smallest pretence for questioning, that her violence and injustice would be limited only to her power.
The pretensions of the emperor of France that his decrees were a retaliation on Great Britain, for similar violations of the laws of nations, previously committed by her, thro' the commerce of neutral nations, could ne- ver be admitted as true in fact, or if true, as just in principle, in regard to the United States.
The principle said to have been assumed by Great Britain, in 1756, which has been pressed into the service of those who are desirous to find an apology, if not a justi- fication of every outrage committed by France, although adopted in the early part of the last war, was so modified, as to af- ford no cause of complaint to the U. States during the latter years of that contest, and it is believed, that a similar temper of ac- commodation has been manifested by the same power towards the United States, in the present war.
While it has been said "that G. Britain is the only nation that has acted upon or otherwise given a sanction to it," the edicts of France from 1704 to the present day, with but small intervals of deviation, either in principle or practice, declare the reverse.
The decrees of France in 1704 and 1744 declare all goods, of the growth or fabric of an enemy's country liable to confiscation, unless bound from an enemy's port direct to the port of the neutral owner. An ordi- nance by the court of France, delivered to the States General of the United Provinces, and published by authority in the Utrecht Gazette, July, 1756, declares, if any Dutch ships carry any goods or merchandise of the growth or manufacture of the enemies of France, they shall be esteemed good prize, but the ships shall be discharged. On the 9th of May, A. D. 1793, France authorised the capture of neutral vessels, laden with provisions, belonging to neutrals, but bound to enemies ports. This decree was prior, by one month, to the order of Great Britain, of similar import. On the 23d of the same month she declared it should not extend to American vessels, which latter decree she repealed, on the 28th of the same month of May, and the first remained in force. On the 1st July she again decreed as on the 23d of May. Twenty seven days afterwards, this decree was repealed, and that of the 9th May remained in force until 4th Janu- ary, 1795. On the 27th November, 1795, the French commissioners at Cape Francois authorised the capture of all American ves- sels bound to or from English ports. Fe- bruary 1st, 1797, commissioners at Cape Francois ordered the capture of all ves- sels bound to any ports in the West Indies, delivered up to the English, and all vessels, cleared out generally for the West Indies.
In January, 1798, France declared that the condition of ships in every thing, which concerns their character as neutrals or ene- mies, shall be determined by their cargoes, and every vessel found at sea, laden in whole or in part with merchandise, coming out of England, or its possessions, shall be declared good prize, whoever may be the proprietors of such commodities or mer- chandise, and this decree is founded ex- pressly on the ordinance of 1704.
It is therefore an incontrovertible truth that France, from the earliest time, and cer- tainly prior to the year 1756, has adopted, in principle, and in practice, broader rules for limiting the commerce of neutrals, and condemning their property, and with fewer and shorter intervals of regard to their rights, than has been assumed by her enemy and of course could, on no ground, be justi- fied by the pretence that the decrees of No- vember, 1806, and the subsequent one of Milan, condemning the property of neu- trals, because the vessels had been spoken with by British cruisers, were a retaliation for similar violations of public law by her foe.
The second resolve proposed assumes as a fact, that the measures, adopted by the Congress of the United States, in the last year, which were the acts imposing an em- bargo, on the trade of her citizens, were measures of resistance against France and Great Britain. An assumption, which would be scarcely decent, for this legisla- ture, to adopt, when the president has pledg- ed his word which ought to be sacred, to
both these nations, that they were not mea- sures of hostility, as appears by the letter of the secretary of states to the minister of the United States at the court of France, under date of Feb'y 3, 1808, and by a similar letter our minister at the court of London, under date of December 23, 1807.
And surely the legislature of Massachu- setts would be altogether unmindful of its duties should, they attempt to pledge the people of this commonwealth to sanction any measures, the congress might see fit to adopt, after the fatal experience of their measures for the last year—measures which, however intended, have produced only dis- tress and wretchedness at home, disgrace and degradation of our national character abroad.
A short review of the circumstances and condition of the United States, from the ad- option of its present constitution, and the conduct of the different administrations un- der them, may serve to shew what the in- terests and honor of the nation did, and do require to be done, on the part of our gov- ernment.
It is well known, that, when congress first assembled, under the existing consti- tion, the administration was encompassed with the most serious embarrassments, at home and abroad—embarrassments arising out of the waste of capital, the defect of cre- dit, and the want of revenue, at the conclu- sion of the war—embarrassments, proceed- ing from the reciprocal claims of the United States and Great Britain, relative to the execution of the treaty of peace—embarrass- ments concerning the navigation of the Mis- sissippi; and embarrassments, aggravating all such as before existed, which arose out of the French revolution, and that were fol- lowed by extensive depredations, committed on our commerce by England, by France and by Spain.
With these obstacles to contend with, the peace and neutrality of the nation were im- partially asserted, and maintained—with England, our ancient controversies were so satisfactorily adjusted—the posts on our fron- tiers were given up—Indian wars extin- guished—adequate compensation, for depred- ations committed upon our trade, obtain- ed, and the national faith redeemed, by pro- visions for the final settlement of British debts. By Spain, our right to the naviga- tion of the Mississippi was recognized, and indemnity secured for the illegal capture of our vessels.
With France, a new treaty was concluded, annulling her unjust decrees, granting us security, as far as the faith of nations can be so considered, against their future re- establishment, and containing her submission to the act of congress, which declared the old treaties void, by reason of their viola- tions on her part.
Thus with foreign nations our ancient controversies were adjusted, and those of a recent date, and which had grown out of a fierce and unexampled war, were compo- sed.
At home, agriculture, manufactures, the fisheries, navigation and commerce were encouraged and extended—the credit of the nation was revived, its capital enlarged and its revenue established—the public arse- nals were replenished, a naval force cre- ated, and the American name upheld and revered throughout the world.
In this condition of unexampled prosper- ity at home, and of peace and consideration abroad, our present rulers were called to the administration of the public affairs— and what has been the fruit of their labors? Let the following facts answer:
Our agriculture is discouraged, The fisheries abandoned, and Navigation forbidden— Our commerce at home restrained, if not annihilated.
Our commerce abroad cut off, and Our navy sold, dismantled, or degraded to the service of cutters and gun boats.
The revenue extinguished, The course of justice interrupted,
The military power exalted above the civil, and by setting up a standard of politi- cal faith, unknown to the constitution, the nation is weakened, by internal animosities and division, at the moment, when it is unnecessarily and improvidently exposed to war with Great Britain, France and Spain.
So great a change, accomplished in so short a time, is unexampled even in the his- tory of weak and unfaithful administrations, and can have proceeded only from the want of that capacity, impartiality and prudence, without which no government can long pre- serve the prosperity or the confidence of the country.
The dawn of the present administration promised an impartial and patriotic course, and the citizens anticipated a continuance of the public and private enjoyments, which distinguished our land; but these expecta- tions were soon disappointed by the avowed

system of political persecution and pro- scription, which has interrupted the har- mony of good neighborhood, and gone to destroy the happiness of social inter- course. The conclusion of the late war in Europe afforded a favorable opportunity to enter in- to negotiations for the purpose of establish- ing such maritime provisions, as in the e- vent of future war, would secure the navi- gation and trade of the U.S. against repe- tition of the injuries, they had so lately suf- fered. This opportunity was wholly neg- lected, and the commercial and maritime treaty with G. Britain, the first naval power in the world, was suffered to expire with- out a single attempt that we have ever heard to obtain its renewal.
The war in Europe recommenced in 1803, and thereby our commerce was again expos- ed to interruptions on the ocean. These evils, a matter of intellectual remonstrance until 1806, when France passed the decree of Berlin, thereby violating the provisions of the treaty with the U. S. infringing the law of nations, and prostrating the commer- cial rights of all neutral states.
This decree is substantially and almost entirely the same, as that passed by the French Directory, in 1798, and which pre- sident Adams in his speech to Congress in December following pronounced to be "an unequivocal act of war, which interest, as well as honor called upon the nation firmly to resist."
Congress accordingly proceeded to pass acts annulling the treaties with France, pro- hibiting all commercial intercourse with the French dominions, and providing for the e- quippment of a naval force, for the defence of our just rights.
The country cannot have forgotten the protection afforded to trade by these mea- sures so honorable to the nation—measures by which our flag was respected in every sea, and the skill and courage of our officers and seamen displayed, in battle with the ships of France.
It was in consequence of these decisive acts, that an early communication was made to our government of the desire of France to return to the relations of peace, and to the authority of public laws, and the Con- vention which was soon after concluded by our government, with the person who now wears the sceptre of France, accomplished those important objects.
Had our rulers, after the promulgation of the decree of Berlin, followed the example of their predecessors, the English Orders would not have been issued nor should we now have to deplore the distress that afflicts the country.
If, then, these evils might have been a- voided, by imitating the example of 1798, may they not yet be removed, by retracting the erroneous steps which have been taken, and by adopting now those measures which then proved efficacious?
To this end, let Congress repeal the em- bargo, annul the convention with France, and all commercial intercourse with the French dominions, arm our public and pri- vate ships, & UNFURL THE REPUB- LICAN BANNER AGAINST THE IMPERIAL STANDARD.
This done, the English orders would cease to operate, we should hear no more of the unparalleled folly of contending, at the same time, with all the great powers of Europe—our trade to every region of the globe, except France and her dependencies, would again recover and flourish—our agri- culture would feel the influence of the e- manicipation of trade, and hand in hand, with the general prosperity, the revenue of the nation would once more exceed its ex- penditure.
Therefore Resolved, that it is inexpedient for this house to adopt and pass the Resolu- tions proposed.
By order of the Committee,
C. GORE. House of Representatives, January 28, 1809.
Mr. Gore opened the discussion of the report—He read a great number of docu- ments, principally from the publications of the administration—in support of the facts stated therein. He dilated on its various paragraphs—supported its positions; and demonstrated, in a very able speech, the in- expediency of adopting any Resolutions on the subject.
Mr. Farland, Mr. Weston (of N. G.) Mr. Coffin (of N.) and Mr. Bangs (of W.) opposed the report generally: as partial, and advocated the passing of the first mo- tion. The latter consumed nearly two hours in his usual desultory point no point manner.
Mr. Morton stated his wish to speak on the subject; but as he should have occasion to read from documents, which he could not well do by candle light, he wished the house to adjourn. His request was complied with.
FRIDAY, Feb. 3. ORDER OF THE DAY.
The consideration of the report of the committee on Mr. Crowninshield's resolu- tions, was resumed. It was opposed by Messrs. Crowninshield, Morton, and Hink- ley; and advocated by Messrs. Channing, Thorndike, Jackson, and Gore. The de- bate continued until past 7.—When the question to accept the report was carried by Yeas and Nays:

CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, Feb. 10. TERRITORIAL COURTS.
Mr. Poindexter observed, that at present the courts of the territories have no jurisdiction to try offenders against the laws of the United States. That in the territory which he had the honor to represent and probably in other territories violations of the embargo laws had taken place and would again take place; and that as the law stood they might take place with impunity, the terri- torial courts having no jurisdiction to pun- ish the offenders. He therefore moved for the order of the day on the bill for ex- tending jurisdiction to the territorial courts. The house refused to take it up, Ayes 27.
On motion of Mr. W. Alston, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole,
Mr. FITKIN in the chair;
On the bill making appropriation for the support of government for the year 1809. The bill having been gone through, and the blanks filled with the various sums reported by the treasury department, the committee rose and reported the bill, which was order- ed to be engrossed for a third reading.
No division took place on any appropria- tion but one of 5000 dollars towards com- pleting the Orleans road; which was op- posed by Messrs. Gardner, Gardener, and Upham, and supported by Messrs. W. Al- ston, Eppes, Desha, Bibb, and J. G. Jack- son, and carried, 52 to 19.
NAVIGATION LAWS. The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole, 42 to 30,
Mr. DESHA in the chair;
On the bill reported by Mr. Dana con- cerning associations for the security of navi- gation.
[The bill provides "That in case where- in the armament of merchant vessels for defence may be allowed by any law of the United States, it shall be lawful for citizens of the U. S. to agree, that any ships or ves- sels by them owned shall sail in concert and be associated for mutual assistance and protection in any voyage or voyages not contrary to law and during any time or times which may be designated by instru- ment in writing duly executed by the own- ers or their authorised agents. The stipu- lations of the parties contained in such in- strument may extend to the equipment and force of the vessels respectively, the relative authority of the masters or commanders, the appointment of places and times of rendez- vous and sailing, the regulation of signals, the direction of the general course of the voyage or voyages, the orders to be observ- ed in case of separation or danger, and the making of arrangements for conducting and managing the respective vessels as may be most effectual for assistance in any case of peril or misfortune and for protecting all or any of them against forcible seizure or an- noyance: Provided, That no such agree- ment or stipulations shall contravene any instructions or orders issued according to law by the president of the United States. That the respective ships or vessels shall be holden for the stipulations contained in any such instrument concerning them and shall accordingly be chargeable for such compen- sation or indemnity as may be justly requir- ed on account of any failure to perform the same as well as for satisfying any reasonable claim of contribution on account of loss or damage incurred in pursuance thereof.—
The rates of contribution to be so made shall be apportioned to and among the re- spective vessels as the parties may have consented and declared by such declaration, the apportionment of the same shall be ad- justed by the competent court, &c.]
The words in Italic in the above were in- serted by amendment on motion of Mr. J. G. Jackson.
In explaining the operation of the provi- sions of this bill—
Mr. Dana said that it did not propose to change the state of our foreign relations with respect to any power whatever; it de- cided nothing respecting the cases in which merchant vessels might be permitted to arm for their defence, but proceeded on the sup- position that there might be cases in which arming the merchant vessels of the U. S. should be authorised by law. The object of the bill was to make such arming effica- cious, by combining different vessels that they might act together, the importance of concert being well known to every person who had attended to the difficulty of attain- ing any point by individual and unconnect- ed efforts. It was well known that, for some trades, vessels were now permitted to arm; and if with respect to the great pow- ers of the civilized world the U. S. were to permit their vessels to arm, the bill would equally apply to associations for defence a- gainst them as against any other enemy.— Such association might now take place by compact where vessels were permitted to arm, which however could be obligato- ry on the owner only. The object of the bill was that the vessels engaged might be pledged for the performance of the com- pact.
Some desultory discussion took place on the details of the bill, in which Messrs. Dana, Love, Burwell, D. R. Williams, Smi- lie and Basset partook. Messrs. Eppes and Basset appeared to be opposed to the prin- ciple of the bill, the objection to which ap- peared to be that it sanctioned armaments by individuals larger than the government itself chose to support, and that the govern- ment might be deemed in some sort pledg- ed to a responsibility for their acts.
The committee rose and reported the bill, which was ordered to a third reading.
SATURDAY, Feb. 11.
A bill from the Senate to incorporate a company for opening the canal in the city of Washington was twice read; and on motion of Mr. Van Horne, was ordered to be read a third time to-day, 55 to 29. The bill was read a third time and PASSED.
NAVIGATION LAWS.
The bill concerning associations for the security of navigation being about to be read a third time, was, on motion of Mr. Eppes, with the assent of Mr. Dana, post- poned till Monday, on the ground that it had not received that mature consideration by the House to which the importance of the subject entitled it.
The bill making appropriations for the support of government for the year 1809, was read a third time and passed.
NON-INTERCOURSE
Mr. Nicholas, from the committee on our foreign relations (Mr. G. W. Camp- bell being detained from his seat by illness) reported a bill interdicting commercial in- tercourse between the U. S. and G. Britain and France, and for other purposes. The bill was twice read and referred to a com- mittee of the whole on Tuesday next.
[This bill provides for a repeal of the embargo, except so far as relates to Great Britain and France, on the 4th of March next, repealing almost entirely the provi- sions of the embargo laws affecting the coast- ing trade; and for a total non-importation from G. B. and France, to commence on the 20th of May. It also excludes from the waters of the U. S. all armed vessels after the 4th of March next.]
Mr. Love after a few prefatory remarks, offered the following resolution, which was referred to a select committee with leave to report by bill or otherwise:
Resolved, That the laws of the several states shall be regarded as the rules of pro- ceeding on judgments and executions in the courts of the U. States except where the laws of the United States shall otherwise provide.
PUBLIC LANDS.
On motion of Mr. Morrow (O.) the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill from the Senate; for ex- tending the terms of payment for public lands, Mr. DESHA in the chair. The bill being gone through, was reported to the house, and ordered to a third reading.

Valuable Family Medicines.
The following well known general Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by James Kennedy, sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria. Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS, prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store, No. 65 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal 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 a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative,
Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleets, fluor albus, or whites, impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.

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 lapse of 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, Glects, 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 their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child; a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
