FURTHER EXTRACTS
From an examination of the BRITISH DOCTRINE, which subjects to capture a neutral trade not open in time of peace.
TREATIES.
If the treaties had become, or were founded in, the law of nations; such an omission, altho' it might be made a pretext for cavil between the parties, could certainly have no effect on the law of nations; and if the treaties expressed the law of nations on any subject at all, on what subject, it might be asked, have they been more explicit than on that of the maritime rights of neutrals?
This series of treaties, to which Great Britain is an immediate party, lengthy and strong as it is, has not exhausted the examples by which she stands self-condemned. One, in particular, remains for consideration, which, if it stood alone, ought forever to silence her pretensions. It is the treaty with Russia on the 5th—17th of June, 1801.
A very important part of the treaty is the preamble:
"The mutual desire of his majesty the king of the United Kingdoms, &c. and his majesty the emperor of all the Russias, being not only to come to an understanding between themselves with respect to the differences which have lately interrupted the good understanding and friendly relations which subsist between the two states; but also to prevent, by frank and precise explanations upon the navigation of their respective subjects, the renewal of similar altercations and troubles, which might be the consequence of them; and the common object of the solicitude of their said majesties being to settle, as soon as can be done, an equitable arrangement of those differences, and an invariable determination of their principles upon the rights of neutrality, in their application to their respective monarchies, in order to unite more closely the ties of friendship and good intercourse, &c. have named for their plenipotentiaries, &c. who have agreed, &c."
With this declaratory preamble in view, attend to the following sections in article 3.
"His Britannic majesty and his Imperial majesty of all the Russias having resolved to place under a sufficient safeguard the freedom of commerce and navigation of their subjects, in case one of them shall be at war while the other shall be neutral, have agreed:
"1st. That the ships of the neutral power may navigate freely to the ports and upon the coasts of the nations at war.
"2d. That the effects embarked on board neutral ships shall be free, with the exception of contraband of war and of enemy's property; and it is agreed not to comprize under the denomination of the latter, the merchandise of the produce, growth or manufactures of the countries at war which should have been acquired by the subjects of the neutral power, and should be transported on their account; which merchandise cannot be excepted in any case from the freedom granted to the flag of the said power," &c. &c.
These extracts will receive additional weight from the following considerations:
First. This treaty made with Russia, the power that took the lead in asserting the principles of the armed neutrality, was, with exceptions not affecting the point in question, acceded to by Sweden and Denmark, the two other European powers most deeply interested in, and attached to those principles. It is a treaty, therefore, of Great Britain, as to this particular point, as well as to most of the others with Russia, Sweden and Denmark.
Secondly.—The treaty had for its great object as appears by its adoption of so many of the definitions of the armed neutrality, to fix the law of nations on the several points therein, which had been so much contested; the three northern powers yielding the point of free ships, free goods; and Great Britain yielding to all of them, those relating to the coasting, as well as every other branch of neutral trade; to blockades and to the mode of search, & yielding to Russia moreover, the point relating to the limitation of contraband. With respect to the case of convoys a case not comprehended in the armed neutrality of 1780, but of much subsequent litigation and inserted in that of 1800—a modification satisfactory to the northern powers, was yielded by Great Britain, with a joint agreement that the subjects on both sides should be prohibited from carrying contraband or prohibited goods, according to an article in the armed neutrality on both sides.
Thirdly.—The treaty is expressly declared to be an invariable determination [fixation] of their principles upon the rights of neutrality, in their application to their respective monarchies."
It cannot be pretended that this stipulated application of the rights of neutrality to the contracting parties, limits the declaratory effect, which is equally applicable to all neutral nations. Principles and rights must be the same in all cases, and in relation to all nations—and it would not be less absurd than it would be dishonorable to profess one set of principles or rights in the law of nations towards one nation, and another set towards another nation.
If there be any part of the treaty to which this declaratory character is regarded as not applicable, it cannot be denied that they are
the parts relating to the rights of neutrals to trade freely to the ports and on the coasts of nations at war, because as already observed, the main object of the treaty was to settle the questions involved in the armed neutrality, of which this was a primary one, and is here placed by the structure of the article under the same precise stipulation, with the liability to confiscation of enemy's property in neutral ships, a point above all others which Great Britain must have wished to consecrate as the law of nations by declaratory acts for that purpose.
It cannot be pretended that the neutral rights here declared do not extend to the colonial as well as coasting trade of belligerent nations, because the colonial trade is not only included in a "free trade to the ports and on the coasts" of such nations, but because it is expressly declared that the effects belonging to neutrals, and transported on their account from countries at war, cannot be expected from the freedom of the neutral flag in any case, and consequently not in the case of colonies more than any other portion of such countries. It is not improper to remark that this declaratory stipulation is not only included in the same article, which recognized the principle that enemy's property is excepted from the freedom of the neutral flag, but is associated with that recognition in the same section of the article, and even in the same sentence.
If it were possible to convert the construction here given to the treaty, a reference might be made to a very able speech delivered by lord Grenville in the British House of Lords in November, 1801, in which this very construction is fully demonstrated. The demonstration is rendered the more striking, by the embarrassed and feeble opposition made to it by the ingenuity of the very able speakers who entered the list against him.
Such is the accumulated and irresistible testimony borne by Great Britain, in her own treaties, against the doctrine asserted by her.
It will be in order now to resume the notice of treaties to which she was not a party, but which authorize some inferences and observations contributing still further, if possible, to invalidate her novel pretensions.
The review heretofore taken of this class of treaties was limited to such as proceeded the armed neutrality. Those now to be added, are principally the treaties and conventions entered into in the years 1780 and 1800.
The treaties of 1780, declare the right of neutrals in the case under discussion, in the following terms: "That all vessels shall be permitted to navigate from port to port, and on the coasts of the belligerent powers." Those of 1800, are in terms too little varied to require recital.
It has never been questioned, that these definitions of the neutral right were as applicable to colonies as to any other of the territories belonging to a belligerent nation. All the British writers have so understood the text, and in that sense, have employed their pens against it.
It needs scarcely be remarked that the treaties in question were framed with a view, not of making a new law of nations, but of declaring and asserting the law as it actually stood. The preamble to the convention of 1800, for the re-establishment of an armed neutrality between Russia and Sweden, explains the object in the terms following: "In order that the freedom of navigation and the security of merchandise of the neutral powers may be established, and the principles of the law of nations be fully ascertained, &c."
The preamble to the convention of 1780, states the principles avowed by the parties to be "the principles derived from the primitive rights of nations."
The treaty of 1780 was originally concluded between Russia and Denmark. But it was acceded to by Sweden, Prussia, the United Provinces, Austria, Portugal and Naples; and in effect, by France and Spain. The principles of the treaty had the sanction also of the United States of America in their existing ordinances. Thus it is seen that with the exception of Great Britain alone, all the powers of Europe materially interested in the maritime law of nations, have given a recent and repeated sanction to the right of neutrals to trade freely with every part of the countries at war. And although several of those nations have, on some of the points contained in these treaties, as on the points of contraband and enemy's property under neutral flags, entered since into adverse stipulations; not one of them has by treaty or otherwise relinquished the particular right under consideration, whilst Great Britain, as we have seen in her treaty with Russia, has herself expressly acceded to the right.
(To be continued.)
MESSAGE
From the President of the United States communicating a report of the secretary of state, respecting "new principles interpolated into the law of nations," made in pursuance of a request of the senate of the 10th inst.
To the Senate of the United States, ACCORDING to the desire of the senate, expressed in their resolution of the 10th instant. I now communicate to them a report of the secretary of state with its documents, stating certain new principles attempted to be introduced in the subject of neutral rights, injurious to the rights and interests of the United States. These with my message to both houses, of the 17th instant and the documents accompanying it, fulfill the desires of the senate, as far as can be done by any information in my possession which is authentic and not publicly known.
TH: JEFFERSON.
REPORT.
The secretary of state, to whom the president has been pleased to refer the resolution of the senate, dated on the 10th instant, has the honor to make the following
REPORT.
THE most important of the principles interpolated into the law of nations, is that which appears to be maintained by the British government and its prize courts, that a trade opened to neutrals by a nation at war, on account of the war, is unlawful.
The principle has been relaxed from time to time, by orders allowing as favors to neutrals, particular branches of trade, disallowed by the general principle; which orders have also, in some instances, extended the modifications of the principle beyond its avowed import.
In like manner, the last of these orders, bearing date the 24th of June, 1803, has incorporated with the relaxation a collateral principle, which is itself an interpolation, namely, that a vessel on a return voyage is liable to capture by the circumstances of her having on the outward voyage, conveyed contraband articles to an enemy's port. How far a like penalty attached by the same order to the circumstance of a previous communication with a blockaded port, would likewise be an interpolation, may depend upon the constitution under which that part of the order has been, or is to be carried into execution.
The general principle first above stated, as lately applied to re-exportations of articles imported into neutral countries from hostile colonies, or vice versa, by considering the re-exportation in many cases, as a continuation of the original voyage, forms another interpolation, deeply affecting the trade of neutrals. For a fuller view of this and some other interpolations, references may be had to the documents communicated with the message to congress of the 17th inst.
The British principle, which makes a notification to foreign governments of an intended blockade, equivalent to notice required by the law of nations, before the penalty can be incurred; and that which subjects to capture vessels arriving at a port, in the interval between a removal and return of the blockading force, are other important deviations from the code of public law.
Another unjustifiable measure is the mode of search practised by British ships, which instead of remaining at a proper distance from the vessel to be searched, and sending their own boat with a few men for the purpose, compel the vessel to send her papers in her own boat, and sometimes with great danger from the condition of the boat, and the state of the weather.
To these instances, without adverting to others of an inferior or less definite character, in the practice of Great Britain, must be added the assumed right to impress persons from American vessels, sailing under the American flag on the high seas. An explanation of this practice will be found in the extract from the instructions to Mr. Munroe, communicated with the message of the president above referred to.
Among the interpolations introduced by the French government, is a decree, dated June 6, 1805, [18 Prairiel, year 13.] importing that every privateer of which two-thirds of the crew should not be natives of England, or subjects of a power the enemy of France, shall be considered as pirates.
Another is evidenced by the result of an application made by the deputy-consul of the United States at Cadiz, through the French consul to admiral Villeneuve, for the liberation of some seamen of the United States who were on board the French fleet under his command. The answer of the admiral, dated 29th August last, [11 Fructidor, 13th year] states, that "A decision of his imperial and royal majesty provides, that every foreigner found on board the vessels of war or of commerce of the enemy, is to be treated as a prisoner of war, and can have no right to the protection of the diplomatic and commercial agents of his nation."
Other unjustifiable innovations on the law of nations, are exemplified in the decree of general Ferrand,* lately passed at the city of St. Domingo, a translation of which is annexed.
The irregular mode of search above described is also practised by the cruisers of France and Spain.
The cruisers of the two latter powers have harassed the commerce of the United States in various other forms, but as it
is not known or believed that their conduct has been prescribed or sanctioned by the public authority of their respective nations, they are not considered as falling within the purview of the resolution of the Senate.
All which is respectfully submitted. JAMES MADISON.
Department of State. Jan. 25, 1806. * This decree which accompanies the president's message, will be found in the Alexandria Daily Advertiser of December last.
CONGRESS
OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, Feb. 3.
Mr. Nicholson presented a memorial from Messrs. Montgomery and Stevens, witnesses on the part of the prosecution on the trial of Judge Chase, praying a compensation for their travel and attendance, which was referred to the committee of Claims.
Mr. Quincey presented a memorial from the merchants of Boston, representing the aggressions committed on the trade and neutral rights of the United States and concluding with suggesting the propriety of a special mission to the court of London.
Referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union.
Mr. Crowninshield from the committee of commerce and manufactures made a detailed report on the petition of Francis Amory, which was referred to the committee of the whole House.
A petition from William Lambert was presented, and referred to the committee of Claims.
Mr. J. Clay presented a petition from the measurers of salt and coal in the city of Philadelphia, praying for additional compensation for their services, which was referred to the committee of Claims.
Mr. Gregg, from the committee on public lands, made a report on the petition of F. Messonier, praying a donation of land, or an extension of the usual time of payment therefor, to aid him in the cultivation of the vine. The report is favorable not only to the prayer of this individual case, but likewise to the principle on which it is founded.
The House immediately took the report into consideration, and concurred in it without division.
A bill was received from the Senate, making a further appropriation for the support of a library. The bill appropriates, in addition to the unexpended balance of a former appropriation, the yearly sum of a thousand dollars for five years, to be applied under the direction of a joint committee of three members of the Senate and three members of the House of Representatives to be appointed every session.
Referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
A bill was likewise received from the Senate to repeal in part the fourth section of an act to authorize the grants of land to the French inhabitants of Gallipolis, and for other purposes therein mentioned. This bill repeals so much of the act referred to as imposes the condition of actual settlement.
Referred to the committee on public lands.
On motion of Mr. Leib, the House went into a committee of the whole; Mr. Gregg in the chair; on the report of a select committee making extra allowances to certain officers of the House for extra services rendered during the last session.
The resolution authorises the payment of 300 dollars to the clerk, 200 dollars to William Lambert, Josias W. King, the serjeant at arms, the door keeper and the assistant door keeper, each, and 50 dollars to Alexander Spalding and John Phillips each.
On motion of Mr. Findley, 100 dollars were allowed to James Laurie, Chaplain.
After a short debate the resolution was agreed to; Ayes 47; Noes 42.
The committee then rose, and the House took up their report, and concurred in the resolution as amended, Yea. 60; Nays 55.
A message was received from the President of the United States, enclosing a letter from the governor of South Carolina, stating the cession to the United States of certain sites for forts, &c. on certain conditions.
Referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union.

A message was received from the President of the United States laying before the two Houses, for the exercise of their constitutional powers as to providing the means of fulfilling them, six Indian treaties for the extinguishment of Indian rights to lands within the United States. The president states that the senate had advised the ratification of these treaties,
1. Treaty with the Wyandots, &c.
2. With the Wyandots, &c.
3. With the Delawares.
4. With the Chickasaws.
5. With the Cherokees.
6. With the Creeks.
Referred to the committee of ways and means.
Mr. J. Randolph said, the house would recollect better than he did, for he was not present at the time, the very important resolution referred on the motion of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gregg) whom he saw in his place, to the committee of the whole on the state of the union. It was as part of his purpose at this time to discuss the merits of that resolution; and it was still further from his purpose to throw any impediment, or create any delay in bringing forward that discussion; the more so, as he considered the whole country south of the seat of government, and more particularly that part of the country in which he resided, decidedly interested in a speedy and prompt reception or rejection of the proposition. Indeed such was his opinion of the necessity of its being speedily acted upon, that as soon as he saw the resolution which had been offered, which was not until Friday when it was laid on their table, the first suggestion of his mind was to move the going immediately into a committee of the whole on it; as those gentlemen, with whom he had the honor of holding personal & political intercourse would testify. But a more mature reflection had convinced him that before the resolution could receive that ultimate decision, which he trusted it would receive, the house stood in need of material information, which, however it might be in the possession of this or that individual, was not possessed by the body of the house. His object in addressing the house was to obtain this information from the proper authority, from a head of the department; which was the only way in which information of a satisfactory nature, such as ought to influence the decision of the house, ought to be obtained.
Mr. J. Randolph then submitted the following resolution:
Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury be directed to lay before this house a statement of the exports and imports of the United States to and from Great Britain and Ireland, and the American colonies of the same, for the two last years, distinguishing the colonial trade from that of the mother country, and specifying the various articles of export and import and the amount of duties payable on the latter.
Mr. Smilie expressed himself in favor of the resolution, and observed, that the species of information called for had not been received by the house later than 1803. Mr. Crowninshield was of opinion that it would be best to extend the resolution so as to embrace the British provinces of Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, and the provinces beyond the Cape of Good Hope. A conversation of some length ensued between Messrs. Crowninshield, Bidwell, and Alston, on the one side; and Messrs. J. Randolph and J. Clay, on the other on amending the resolution.
The former gentlemen were for amending the resolution so as to embrace a period of peace as well as war, and to obtain information from "all the dependencies of Great Britain" which the latter gentlemen opposed on various grounds, one of which was that if this additional information were desirable it could be obtained by a distinct resolution. On Mr. Crowninshield's motion to amend the resolution so as to extend it to 'British dependencies,' generally, the house divided. Ayes 43, Noes 67.
Mr. Nicholson, suggested the propriety of adding the following words to the resolution, in which the mover acquiescing, they were incorporated into it. And also a statement in detail showing the quantity and value of the like articles of import brought into the United States, from other nations respectively, with the rate and amount of duty thereon. When the resolution thus modified was agreed to without a division. Mr. Crowninshield then moved the following resolution. He said in substance, it was the same with the amendment which he had proposed to the resolution of the gentleman from Virginia.
Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury be directed to lay before this house a statement of the amount of the exports & imports, to and from the British dependencies other than those of America for the last two years. This resolution was also agreed to without a division. On motion of Mr. Stanford the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill altering the time for holding the circuit court for the district of N. Carolina.
After the blanks were filled, Mr. Macon offered a new section for increasing the salary of the district judge of N. Carolina, from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars. After debate this motion was lost by a great majority, as were other motions successively made to allow a salary of eighteen, seventeen, and sixteen hundred dollars. The committee rose and reported the bill and the house ordered it to a third reading to-morrow.

FURTHER EXTRACTS
From the London Sun, received at the office of the Baltimore American.
LONDON, December 2. Two mails from Lisbon arrived in town this morning, brought to Falmouth by the Lord Hobart and Townshend packets; the former in seventeen, and the latter in six days. They bring us the Spanish official account of the action off Trafalgar, which follows:
From the Madrid Gazette of Nov. 5. The chef d'Esquadre DON ANTONIO D'ESCANO, major-general of the squadron of the ocean, has written from the port of Cadiz, to his excellency the Prince of Peace, under date of the 22d of October, as follows:
"Most Excellent Senior My Lord—The situation of lieutenant general Don Frederick Gravina, in consequence of a ball he received in his left arm, at the close of the action of yesterday, does not permit him to inform your excellency of that sanguinary combat; and although I have had the fortune to spill my blood for the honor of his majesty's arms, yet, finding myself less inconvenienced than the brave and worthy general in chief on whom his majesty, with a confidence which he merits, had conferred the command of his fleet, I enter upon the painful but necessary obligation of informing your excellency, that our efforts, and the heroic discharge of our duty, have not been able to avert a loss, which would be great if we were not firmly persuaded that nothing was left undone, and that our honor was saved."
"I know that under date of the 18th inst. that general Gravina had informed your excellency that admiral Villeneuve had signified to him his intention of putting to sea the next day, and desired to know if the Spanish squadron was ready to accompany him; your excellency is not ignorant of what was the answer of the general, satisfied that his squadron would promptly follow the movements of the French, and that such were the repeated orders your excellency had communicated to him. With this information the French admiral returned on board, and subsequently made the sign for getting up anchors, and signals, which were expected by this ship, the Principe de Asturias, and followed by the most ready execution, for embarking the artillery which were on shore, &c."
"On the morning of the 19th some French and Spanish ships got under weigh in consequence of a signal made by admiral Villeneuve; but were not able to effect it all that day, the wind having veered to the S. W. but getting round to E. S. E. they all successively got out on the morning of the 20th."
"Scarcely had we cleared the mouth of the harbor, when the wind shifted to S. S. W. so strong and with such alarming appearances, that one of the 1st signals made by admiral Villeneuve, who had his flag on board the Beaucentaur, was to take in 2 reefs in the mainsail; the shifting of the wind necessarily occasioned a dispersion of the fleet till towards the evening, when the wind again shifted and the horizon clearing, signal was made to form five columns, and to unite: an advanced frigate made signals for eighteen sail of the enemy in sight, and in consequence of this information, the ships were cleared, and every thing got ready for action."
"At three we tacked and stood on for the Straights, preserving the same formation of five columns, as before this movement—After we had executed it four of the enemy's frigates appeared, which were chased by order of admiral Villeneuve, and to this ship he attached L'Aigle, Algesiras, and San Juan, as a squadron of observation, which might reinforce the ships in chase, with instructions to reunite with the main body of the fleet before night fall."
"At half past seven a French ship advised us of L'Aigle having reconnoitred 18 enemy's ships in line of battle, & soon after we saw at no great distance, several lights which doubtless were made from the enemy's frigates interposed between the two fleets. At nine the English made signals, by firing cannon, and by the interval between the flash and the report, they appeared to be distant about two miles. The French admiral made signals that it was necessary to form in line of battle upon the leeward ships, which was afterwards repeated by the admiral; and in this order the day-break of the 21st came in, with the enemy in sight, in number 28 ships; among them eight three deckers, formed in order of battle."
"At seven in the morning the enemy approached in different columns upon our squadron, in a direction to the centre and rear, upon which admiral Villeneuve ordered them to attack in succession, which brought the squadron of observation commanded by General Gravina, into the situation of rear guard. General Gravina made to his squadron the signals most proper to enable them to perform the various movements which the exigency of circumstances required, with celerity and precision, and on nearing the enemy, he ordered them to close their distances, and complete their order."
"At 8 minutes before 12 an English three-decker, with a flag at her main-top, penetrated our line in the centre supported by the ships which were in her wake; the head of the other column of the enemy did the same; one of them doubled our rear guard, another entered between L'Aigle and San Ildefonso, and from this moment the action was confined to a furious combat between the whole of the enemy's squadron and the half of ours, the greatest part of the time within pistol shot."
"I have not the necessary information to enable me to acquaint your excellency with the particulars of this action, neither can I at present say any thing of the movements of the van-guard, which I am assured from the commencement supported that part of the squadron which was attacked. What I can affirm to your excellency is, that all the ships, both French and Spanish, which were within my observation, most fully performed their duty."
The lateness of the hour at which we received this account, compels us to postpone the remainder till to-morrow. The conclusion speaks of several ships having been dismasted, but does not acknowledge their capture.
The Temeraire, Tonnant and Colossus, from Lord Collingwood's fleet arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday. The number of killed and wounded on board the Tonnant, the return of which was wanting, is stated at 26 killed, and 60 wounded.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7.
ROCHEFORT SQUADRON.—By the arrival of the Schooner Eliza Ann, Captain Herbert, in 14 days from Guadalupe, we learn that three of the British Cork fleet, prizes to this squadron, had arrived at Guadalupe, one had been re-taken. It was further stated, that two 74 gun ships, part of this fleet, had arrived at Martinique. It is not stated where the rest of the fleet was. These ships could not have been ever since the 20th November, about which time they were off Teneriffe, in getting to Martinique, it is not improbable that these two ships are part of a fleet seen by Captain Southworth on the 17th December, mentioned in our paper of the 22d instant, as steering W. S. W. [Norfolk Ledger]
The British in South-America.—The following copy of a letter from a gentleman in Barbadoes, dated January 4, to his friend in this place was handed us this morning:
"A Portuguese vessel from the Brazils, was spoken with a few days ago, and reported that the expedition under the command of general sir David Baird, and sir Home Popham, had taken Buenos Ayres."
The public have long been in suspense as to the destination of the fleet and army under admiral sir Home Popham, and general sir David Baird. The Cape of Good Hope was generally supposed to be the object of this armament. Should the British make a permanent establishment in this settlement, the political and commercial situation of the world will undergo a considerable change. The force of this expedition was four ships of the line, frigates, &c. and six thousand troops, a force we understand from an intelligent person who was lately at the river La Plata, more than adequate to the reduction of the province of Paraguay. [Ibid.]
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Barbadoes, to his correspondent in Norfolk, dated January 4, 1805.
"Admiral Cochrane arrived yesterday from off Martinique, in the Northumberland, the French fleet expected at Martinique are not yet arrived. All our ships are off that island on the look out for them—Ten or twelve sail of the Cork fleet are still missing."

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, 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 forensis 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.
Mr. Asahel Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper. He has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous Disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back,  Consumptions, Indigestion,  Lowness of spirits, Melancholy,  Loss of appetite, Gout in the stomach,  Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs,  Hysterical affections, Relaxations,  Inward weaknesses, Involuntary emissions,  Seminal weaknesses, Obligate glects,  Fluoribus (or whiter) Impotency, &c. &c.  Barrenness, 
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, balsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think, this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c. W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence, on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and
its being suited to every age a constitution, and also contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and so to mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, with our pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the latest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tapes or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and acid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—
By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a bone FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania. Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repletes with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
