AN NEGRO MAN, sometime in the months of No- vember or December last, who was hired in the town of Alexan- dria to Mr. Robert Smith. He was about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very strait, of rather a yellowish or ta- ny complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice, and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at Col. Jeir- mason's, in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps now be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland.—If he is taken in the state of Virginia and brought to me I will give the above reward; if in the state of Maryland and brought to me I will give Thir- ty Dollars reward.

TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
(Continued by adjournment and held at the Capitol in the Hall of the house of Delegates, for High Treason against the U. States.)
TUESDAY, August 18.
Present JOHN MARSHALL, chief Justice of the United States.
Examination of Commodore Thomas Truxton.
Mr. Hay. Were you present when the court delivered their opinion? A. I was. I know nothing of the overt act. Q. Does your testimony relate to the taking of N. Orleans? A. I know nothing about the taking of New Orleans. My conversations altogether related to the Spanish territories; to the settlement of lands; to digging a canal on the Ohio, and building of boats.
Mr. Hay then observed, that he had no questions then at present for commodore Truxton.
Mr. Wickham. Then, sir, I hope I may be permitted to ask com. T. 1st. whether he had not many and minute conversations with col. B. and 2dly. whether these conversations related to treason?
Mr. Wirt. The court knows that there are two indictments against the accused. The witnesses have been summoned promiscuously; and it is not possible for the prosecutor to know the particular point to which every witness is to testify. Commodore Truxton says that his evidence relates to the misdemeanor. But if he be suffered to come in on the present case, ought not his examination to be free and complete?
Mr. Hay. Upon recollection the substance of commodore Truxton's testimony, I cannot but believe that it applies directly to the present occasion. It bears most strongly upon gen. Eaton's testimony. Eaton says that the treasonable project and the misdemeanor were intimately connected. Of course what goes to establish the one of these projects, will so far contribute to prove the other. Had you not several conversations with the accused, upon the Mexican subject of the expedition?
Commodore Truxton. About the winter of 1805—6, col. B. returned from the western country, and came to Philadelphia. He frequently in conversation mentioned to me certain speculations in western lands. These conversations were uninteresting to me; and I did not pay much attention to them. Col. B. observed, that he wished to get the navy of the U. S. out of my head, as he had something in view both honorable and profitable which he wished to disclose to me. I considered this as nothing more than as a desire to get me interested in land speculations. These conversations were frequently repeated; and sometime in the month of July, 1806, he stated, that he wished to see me unseated from the navy of the U. S. and to think no more of those men at Washington; that he wished to see or to make me (I do not recollect which) an admiral, as he contemplated an expedition into Mexico, in the event of a war with Spain, which he thought inevitable. He asked me if the Havana could not be easily taken in the event of a war. I told him that it would require the co-operation of a naval force. Mr. Burr observed, that might be obtained. He pursued the enquiry as to Carthagena and La Vera Cruz; what personal knowledge I had of those places, and what would be the best mode of attacking them by sea and land. I gave my opinion very freely. Mr. Burr then asked me if I would take the command of a naval expedition. I asked him if the executive of the U. S. was privy to or concerned in the project. He answered me emphatically that they were not. I asked him that question because the executive had been charged with a knowledge of Miranda's expedition. I told Mr. Burr that I would have nothing to do with it; that Miranda's project had been intimated to me, and that I had declined any agency in those affairs. Mr. Burr observed, that in the event of a war he intended to establish an independent government in Mexico; that Wilkinson, the army, and many officers of the navy would join. I replied, that I could not see how any of the officers of the U. S. could join. He said gen. Wilkinson had projected the expedition, and that he himself had matured it; that many greater men than gen. Wilkinson were concerned (or would join); and thousands to the wetward.
Mr. Hay. Do you recollect whether he said that gen. W. had seriously joined in it? A. Yes, he said so; and many greater men.
Mr. Hay. I will ask you, sir, whether at that time, you were in the service of the U. S.? A. I was declared not to be.
Mr. Hay. I wish not to wound your feelings, Commodore, by my question; but it is necessary to account to the jury, for the application which was thus made to you by the accused. Did you not feel yourself hurt at this declaration? A. I certainly was.
Mr. Burr asked me if I would not write to gen. Wilkinson, as he was about to dispatch two couriers to him. I told him that I had no subject to write; and declined writing. Mr. Burr observed, that several officers would be pleased at being under my command. He spoke highly of a lieut. Jones, and asked me whether he had not sailed with me. I answered him that he had not; and that I could give no account of him, as I never had seen him. Mr. Burr observed that the expedition could not fail; that the Mexicans were ripe for revolt; and that he was incapable of anything chimerical, or that could lead his friends into a dilemma. He showed me a draft of a perogue, such as plies between Powles's Hook and New York; and asked me whether they were adapted to the Mississippi river and the waters emptying into it. I gave opinion that they were. He asked me whether I could get a naval constructor to make several copies of the draft. I spoke to a naval constructor; but he could not make them as soon as they were wanted, and I returned the draft. Mr. Burr told me he wanted those boats for the conveyance of agricultural products to New Orleans, and in the event of war, for transports. I knew they were not calculated for transports by sea, nor were they calculated for carrying guns; but having determined not to have any thing to do with the Mexican project, I said very little about the boats. But in the latter end of the month of July, I told him there would be no war with Spain. He seemed very sanguine that there would. He said, however, if disappointed in that, that he was on a bargain for a large tract on the Ouachita; that he intended to invite his friends about him to settle it; that in one year he would have 1000 families of fashion and some of property, who would constitute a charming society; that in 2 years he would have double the number; that being on the frontier, he would be ready to march immediately, whenever a war took place. I have endeavored to narrate these several conversations verbatim as they passed; I am not positive, however, that they are; but my statements are at least the substance of what did pass.
Questioned by the prosecution.
Mr. Hay. Did these conversations take place after the declaration that you were no longer in the service of the U. S. A. The whole of them.
(Col. Carrington, one of the jury. Did they take place in July? A. Yes. I observed to him, there would be no war, though I thought there was great cause for it.)
Mr. Hay. Had you expressed your dissatisfaction at this procedure? A. Yes; frequently. Q. I believe you made some publication upon the subject. A. I did—Q. Your first conversation was about building bridges, settling lands &c? A. Yes; when col. Burr first returned from the westward.
Mr. McRae. He did not express to you his designs respecting the Ouachita land, till he had discovered your aversion to the Mexican project? A. He had not spoken particularly about the Ouachita lands, but previously about speculations in western lands generally.
Mr. Wirt. Did he say at the latter end of July that he was about concluding a bargain for the Ouachita land? A. I think so.
Mr. Hay. When he proposed to make you an admiral, did not the thought strike you, how he was to accomplish this?
Mr. Burr denied that com. Truxton, had said that Mr. Burr promised to make him an admiral.
Com. Truxton. Mr. Burr told me he wished to make or see me one, I do not particularly recollect which was his expression. He said there was a formidable navy to be established.
Mr. Hay. From what part of the world was the expedition by sea to go? A. I do not know. I did not ask him where it was to go from. Mr. H. Did you understand that you were to command the expedition by sea? A. Yes; but I declined and asked no questions particularly on the subject.
Mr. Baker. I understand you to say, that the navy was to have been erected after the government was to be established?
A. Yes.
Mr. McRae. Did he not talk of a naval expedition against Havana? A. I told Mr. Burr, Havana could not be taken without a naval force—He said that could be obtained.
Cross-questioned.
Mr. Burr. Did I not say I had never seen lieutenant Jones? A. I do not recollect that. You spoke highly of him. Q. Do you not recollect I stated, that if there was a war, that private expeditions and private enterprise would be lawful? Mr. Hay objected to the question because seemingly intended for the jury. Q. Did I not often talk several years ago about naval concerns? Did I not say that you were duped by the Smith's and others? That they had no serious intention of serving you? Was not that the reason I wished to unseal you from the navy? A. You did state those facts. Q. Do you not find I was right about your advance in the navy? A. I know that. Q. Did I not often talk to you about the settlement of lands? A. You did? Q. Were we not intimate? A. Yes. Q. Was there any reserve between us? A. None. Did you ever hear me say any thing about dismembering the union and seizing on New Orleans. A. Never. Q. Did I not often express the pleasure I should feel from doing service to the common interests of this country, and of preserving a strong connection with my countrymen? A. You did. Q. Did I not say that the perogues would be useful for the conveyance of agricultural products? A. Yes; & in war for transports. Q. Had you reason to doubt my intention to settle lands? A. If there was no war, I took for granted that such was your intention. Q. If there was a war and Mexico was invaded, and the government had favored it would you have joined me? A. I would have got out of my bed at twelve at night, to fight against England, France and Spain if my country had called.
Mr. McRae. Did he speak of any commercial speculations in which he was about to engage? of any commercial establishments he was about to form? A. He spoke of the settlement of the Ouachita, and the bringing down of agricultural produce.—Q. Were the remarks which he made on your relation to the navy, calculated to fill your bosom with resentment? A. My bosom was already full enough, but certainly Mr. B. spoke in concert with my feelings.
Mr. Hay. Could an expedition at sea be made as effectually against La Vera Cruz from any other port in the western world, as New-Orleans? A. Certainly not. It would be a very proper place or from any place above the river. Larger vessels cannot get up to New-Orleans; and small craft must take the expedition down.
Mr. Parker, (one of the jury). Did you understand for what purpose the two couriers were sent by Col. B. to Gen. Wilkinson? A. I understood, that there was an understanding between them about the Mexican project.
Mr. Burr. Are there not preparations now making in Philadelphia, in contemplation of a war with England? A. In New-York there are.
Mr. McRae. Are not the preparations going on openly? Has any commander been appointed independent of the government? A. No.
Mr. Bots. Can ships be built secretly in a corner of a room? A. No.
Examination of Peter Taylor.
Mr. Hay. The witness will directly prove the connection of Burr with Blannerhasset, and his connection with the crime itself.
Peter Taylor. The first information I had upon this subject was from Mrs. Blannerhasset when Mr. Blannerhasset and Mr. Alston were gone down the river. The people got much alarmed about this business, and Mrs. Blannerhasset sent me to Lexington after Mr. Bl. with a letter to prevent col. Burr from coming back with him to the island. I went to Chillicothe but did not find Mr. Bl. there, and I then went on to Cincinnati. I was directed to call at Cincinnati at Mr. John Smith's where I would find Mr. Blannerhasset. I called at Mr. Smith's where I saw his son. I asked if Mr. Smith was at home, he said yes. I said I wanted to see him. His son went and told him a man wanted to see him. When Mr. S. came out I inquired for col. Burr and Blannerhasset, to see whether he could give any account of them. He allowed he knew nothing of either of them. He allowed I was much mistaken in the place. I said no; this was the right place. "Mr. John Smith store-keeper Cincinnati," says I. Don't you recollect a young man, who came here some time ago for col. Burr's top coat (great coat) I said, sir I have lived with Mr. Blannerhasset
for three years. When Mr. Smith heard me talk so he knew me and took me up stairs to talk with me. He wanted to know the news our way. I told him the people had got alarmed. I told him every thing that was in agitation; that they talked about the settlement of lands. He seemed surprised—He asked what was said about general Wilkinson. I said I knew nothing about it. He asked me if I would carry a letter from him to Blannerhasset. I said I would carry any thing that was not too burthensome. So he sat down and wrote a letter. He asked me whether I wished to drink, for he had chased the people should be sitting me with them. I drank, and he then showed me a tavern, and told me to go and get a horsebacked by the hostler, but not to go to the house. I asked him where I should find col. Burr and Blannerhasset. He said he expected they were at Lexington. I told him I supposed at Mr. Jourdain's. When I got to Lexington it was Saturday about one o'clock. Mr. Jourdain happened to be in the street and knew me. He said Peter your old master is not in town. But he said he expected him either that night or to morrow early. He asked me what day and I told him. I asked him what I was to do with my horse. He said that he was to be put at the livery stable. He went up stairs, & he opened a door & beckoned his hand saying nothing. When I went in, there was col. Burr. Col. Burr wanted to know what was the news in our parts. I began to tell him, that my business was to prevent col. Burr from going back to the island.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL
Late Foreign Intelligence.
NEW YORK, August 26.
By the ship Ass. Alexander, from London, we have completed our regular list of London papers to the 4th of July, inclusive, and Lloyd's Lists to the 5th. Extracts from the latter will be found in the marine department. The former affords nothing new or interesting, if we except the following articles.
In the English house of commons on Friday, July 3d, Mr. Rose moved an order of the day for the house going into a committee on the American trade indemnity bill. Some conversation took place between Mr. Eden, Mr. Rose, the chancellor of the exchequer, and lord Howick, in which the noble lord suggested, that a provision should be introduced into the bill, authorising his majesty in council to suspend the American trade act, if the American legislature should think fit to put in force the non-importation act.
LONDON, July 3.
At the Court of Queen's Palace, 27th of May, 1807; present, the king and excellent majesty in council.
Whereas it is expedient, that the liberty of navigation and commerce between his majesty's subjects and the United States of America, should, for the present, continue in the same manner, and under the same limitations, as are specified in the act of the 27th of his present majesty's reign, entitled "An act for carrying into execution the treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation, concluded between his majesty and the United States of America, and in the act passed in the 46th year of his majesty's reign, for continuing the said act of the 37th year of his majesty's reign; his majesty, by and with the advice of his privy council, is hereby pleased to direct, that all the regulations contained in the said acts shall be duly observed until other provisions shall be made respecting the matters aforesaid; and the right honorable the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, and the lords commissioners of the admiralty, are to give the necessary directions herein, as to them may respectively appertain.
(Signed)
W. FAWKENIR.
A Tonnungen mail arrived in town in the afternoon of yesterday; but all the articles brought by it are of too early a date to convey any intelligence with respect to the battle of the 14th.
It does not appear that there was any foundation than report for the statement in some of the papers, that official dispatches had been received by government from lord Hutchinson. No such dispatches have been received, nor does it appear that government are better informed upon the subject of this intelligence than the public at large.

Nothing further, therefore, has transpired with respect to the disastrous intelligence contained in the accounts previously received, and in this absence of official confirmation, the town is beginning to revert to its original hopes, that even the reports of the Loungon mails may refer rather to the previous skirmishes than to the general engagement.
It is certainly sufficiently characteristic of the French and Dutch accounts, thus to exaggerate partial successes into a general defeat; but it must not be concealed, on the other hand, that some of the facts have received a collateral confirmation by the receipt of letters from Hamburg. We have, therefore, with impatience, for the arrival of the next Monday's mail. One thing, however, seems almost certain; it is evident, that the defeat has not been decisive as was at first apprehended. The Russians have certainly retreated; but it is not stated, in any authentic shape, that the army has been broken. But, as Beningen can keep his army together—though repulsed, he is not dispersed—so long shall we continue to retain our hopes.
The retreat of the Russians after the battle of Auerstedt, has taught us that a Russian army is not ruined by being defeated. Beningen has never fought better than when he has been driven into a corner. The French drove him before them to Eylau; what then? why he turned against his pursuers, and avenged himself on them by a signal defeat. Why may not this occur again? Beningen has been repulsed; granted; but he has effected his retreat without the dispersion of his army. He will continue to retreat, perhaps, till he finds another station like that of Eylau; when he will once again face his enemy, and perhaps retrieve the fortune of the war.
One thing appears somewhat singular: Government has not attached sufficient credit to the accounts hitherto received, to countermand the sailing of the expedition. In this uncertainty, we can only repeat our impatience for the arrival of official dispatches. In the meantime, the details of the previous skirmishes are not very clear. It is said, for example, in all the accounts hitherto received, that the Russians made an attack on the French line on the 5th, and some ensuing days. This attack certainly was not so successful as expected; but it certainly was not repulsed in a manner which would compel the hasty flight of the Russians. Two important questions therefore here occur. What was the object of the attack? and what was the object of the retreat?
The report of general Clarke, as given in the Berlin Telegraph, seems to contain a very probable answer to one of these questions. "The Russians," says this report, "had already evinced their weakness when they were unable to relieve Danzig; their retreat from Heilsberg is a new evidence of it."
If this reason be well-founded, it will follow that the attack of the Russians on the French line was but a mask to cover their retreat; that they found themselves unable to maintain their position in the front of the French army; and that, in consequence, they deemed it prudent to retreat.
A letter from Königsberg, dated June 17th, was circulated upon the exchange in the afternoon of yesterday, which states, in express terms, that the battle of the 14th was very different to what it has been described; that it was fought with great obstinacy on both sides; that only part of the Russian army had been engaged; and that they retreated, rather from a preconceived plan, than as compelled to it by defeat. It is further added, in the same letter, that many French prisoners had been brought into Königsberg, and that no serious apprehensions were entertained that the town would fall into the possession of the enemy.
The Russian corps de reserve is stated to exceed sixty thousand men. It may not therefore be improbable, that one of the objects of Beningen's retreat is to fall back upon his reserve. But to confess, until the official account shall reach us, all is obscurity and confusion. Mecklenburg was ordered, after the battle of the 14th, to be treated as a neutral country.
In consequence of peremptory orders from government, the fleet of transports, with the troops which form the second division of the expedition, got under weigh yesterday morning about nine o'clock and sailed from the Downs, under convoy of the Blenheim and Paulina, sloops of war. The following is a correct list of the
 troops on board, all belonging to the king's German Legion:  The third regiment of light dragoons, or hussars commanded by colonel Reden.  The 3d battalion of the line commanded by col. Hauer.  The 4th battalion of do. commanded by col. Lanwech.  The 5th battalion of do. commanded by colonel Dreyberg.  The 1st light infantry battalion commanded by colonel Allen.  Five companies of the 2d light infantry battalion of riflemen.  One brigade of horse artillery, and the 3d foot do.  Fifty two sail with horses embarked at Ramsgate.  Three sail, namely, the Maria, Elizabeth and Reliance, with five light infantry companies of the 2d rifle battalion of the German legion.  Twenty sail, with ordnance, victuallers, purveyors, stores and camp equipage.  Two sail with artillery from Portsmouth.  The Heart of Oak, from Deptford, with Lord Cathcart's horses, and about twenty sail, having on board the the 3d, 4th and 5th battalions of the German legion of the line. 
July 4. There were no arrivals yesterday from the continent, and we are of course without any further advice respecting the posture of affairs in the North of Europe.
BALTIMORE, August 27. COMMERCE PROTECTING ITSELF.
We have spared no trouble this morning to ascertain a correct knowledge of the facts connected with the villainous seizure of a valuable ship within our own waters. The case of the Othello, so far as we are permitted to state at present, is this: ship Othello, captain Glover, from Liverpool for Baltimore, came to anchor in the Patuxent—being a more agreeable harbor, with a head wind, than in the open bay. Some time after the captain of the French frigate Cybelle came on board the Othello where he continued about two hours. The behavior of the French captain was gentlemanly, and he obtained from captain Glover some English newspapers. Soon after the French commander had returned to his ship, captain G discovered a small schooner along side the Cybelle; which schooner proved to be a French privateer, shortly after she came up and commenced firing on the Othello. The privateer had discharged several volleys of musketry on the Othello, a ball from one of which passed thro' the hat of captain G's mate, when captain G. sent off a boat to inquire into the cause of assault. The capt. of the privateer commanded captain G. to repair with his officers and papers on board his vessel. The commander of the privateer said he would make prize of the Othello, as coming from an English port, and part of the cargo being British manufactures. He acknowledged his intercourse with the French frigate, by stating that he had read the papers which had been received by her commander from captain G. After which, being asked what was his business along side of the Cybelle, he answered, that "he had had an iron made for his rudder by her blacksmith."
The privateersman, it appears, had offered a pilot 400 dollars to take him (in the Othello) out of the Capes, clear of the British squadron. The pilot refused; but we are not informed whether from this circumstance it was that the Othello was liberated. A full statement is preparing for the public of this outrageous conduct.
From the relation of a respectable gentleman well acquainted with the facts above stated, we are inclined to believe that the privateer was countenanced by the commander of the Cybelle. This impression we acknowledge is produced by the assertion of the privateer's captain "that the captain of the Cybelle supplied him with 15 men and offered 100." At such a crisis, surrounded by enemies, we must be permitted to protest against the doctrine that commerce should protect itself. If we are not to have a navy even capable of guarding the entrance of our harbors, yet we certainly could maintain a sufficient force to expel from our rivers such a contemptible robber as cannot carry a nine pounder. The alacrity with which a number of volunteers went in pursuit of the enemy, is no argument against the necessity of naval protection. Their patriotic ardor is a proof rather that such measures as the federalists plead for, are such as the American people demand, and such as the government will be compelled to adopt.
Arrived, schooner Adeline, Watis, 14 days from St. Thomas. Left there, schooner Adventure, M. Knight, of Alexandria, just arrived. An Alexandria schooner that fell to the leeward
and sold there, was to sail in 6 or 7 days. On Monday night, at Point Look Out, saw a ship and a pilot boat, which had been at anchor, getting under way; the boat left her and stood up towards the Patuxent, the ship followed; capt. W. has no doubt but it was the Othello, as the boat answered the description; she carried a square sail, flying jib and main top-sail, which none of the pilot boats do.
The Swedish schooner Juliana, Penington, 24 days from Aux-Cayes. A revolt had taken place in Pettion's army, 2000 of his men had joined general Yafou; the whole island was in confusion, and all intercourse between the different ports cut off. Was chased into the coves by a British two-decker. A frigate and a 74 lay inside, the pilot says they bring too every thing.
The schooner Sarah, Summer, 19 days from St. Pierres. Left brig—Dye, of Alexandria, for Baltimore.
August 27. Arrived, schooner Nancy & Mary, Hall, 16 days from Matanzas.
Also, ship Othello, Glover, 59 days from Liverpool—Dry Goods—Harden & Wilson.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, August 29.
On Friday se'nnight, captain Woodberry, of the schooner Mary, arrived at Boston, from Berbice, was boarded on the south-west part of George's Bank, by the British frigate Milan, who had a brig under convoy—The officer informed captain W. that they were from Halifax, bound to the Chesapeake, with live stock and provisions for the ships upon that station, as our government would not let them have supplies from the United States. [New-York paper.]
We are informed that Gen. Turreau, the French minister near the United States, who is now in this city, on hearing the report that the pirate that seized on the Othello had been countenanced and assisted by the commander of the Patriot, immediately sent down a commission to enquire into the business, with the express declaration that if they had in any way connived at or aided in the attack on the Othello, the guilty should be immediately delivered up to the government of the U. States, to be proceeded against agreeably to the laws of this country. Capt. Comegys, we understand, has gone down with these instructions. [Balt. American.]
Two or three more detachments of volunteers sailed last night on board an armed schr. in pursuit of the buccaneers who attempted to carry off the Othello. They are commanded by the two captains Sterret. It is supposed the pirate is lurking in some of the rivers on our bay. If she is fallen in with, there can be no doubt of her being brought safe into harbor. The public will be pleased to learn that Captain David Porter, an officer of experience and skill, lately returned from the Mediterranean, has gone down with the detachments. [Ibid.]
COPY.—Case, with opinion of Sir John Nicholl, the king's advocate, thereon
An American vessel having brought a cargo from the United States, discharged at Cherbourg, and not finding a desirable return cargo there for America, the captain is desirous of proceeding in ballast to Nantz—there to take in a cargo for Lisbon or some neutral port, or else he intends to go to Holland for a cargo of Gin to take to America. Your opinion is requested.
First. Whether the vessel in question would be liable to detention while proceeding from Cherbourg to Nantz or to Holland, by British cruisers, under the Order of Council of 7th of January, 1807, which is known at the time of her sailing thence in ballast.
Answer.—I am of opinion that the vessel in question proceeding in ballast either to Nantz or Holland, is not violating his majesty's order of the 7th of January last.
Second. Would an American vessel, touching at a port in France, where a suitable market is not found, and afterwards going to Holland, without having broken bulk in France, be liable to detention under the said order of council?
Answer.—I think she would not if the facts should be perfectly clear. (Signed) J. NICHOLL. Doctors Commons, Feb. 27, 1807.

The public is informed that I have two separate deeds of trust upon those Lots of Ground advertised by Mr. Edmund I.

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.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-general of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, 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. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public, being selected for the purpose of shewing 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 unremitted efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glets, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious ways to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon
trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton— Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin 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 Dobbin 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.
