BRITISH TREATY.
An interesting Pamphlet made its appearance yesterday, entitled 'The British Treaty,' dedicated to those members of congress who have the sense to perceive and the spirit to pursue the true interests of their country." The following is given as the 'purport of that treaty.'
The first article like the first of that concluded on the 19th of November, seventeen hundred and ninety four, by Mr. Jay, is merely formal; and the second confirms the first ten articles of the old treaty. It is, therefore proper to give a glance at them.
The first as is already mentioned, is merely formal; and the second is executed.
The third gives to each party the right of passing through the territories of the other, in America, except within the limits of the Hudson's bay company. We find in it the following clause. 'But it is understood that this article does not extend to the admission of vessels of the United States into the seaports, harbors, bays, or creeks of his majesty's said territories, nor into such parts of the rivers of his majesty's said territories as are between the mouth thereof and highest port of entry from the sea, except in small vessels trading bona fide between Montreal and Quebec, under such regulations as shall be established to prevent the possibility of any frauds in this respect. Nor to the admission of British vessels from the sea into the rivers of the United States beyond the highest port of entry from the sea. The river Mississippi shall however according to the treaty of peace, be entirely open to both parties; and it is further agreed that all the ports and places on its eastern side, to whichsoever of the parties belonging, may be freely resorted to and used by both parties, in as ample a manner as any of the Atlantic ports or places of the U. S. or any of the ports or places of his majesty in G. Britain.'
The fourth article after mentioning that it is uncertain whether the Mississippi extends so far to the northward as to be intersected by a line to be drawn due west from the lake of the woods, in the manner mentioned in the treaty of peace, provides 'for a joint survey of the northern part of that river,' and agrees that 'if on the result of such survey it should appear that the said river would not be intersected by such a line,' the parties will regulate the boundary in that quarter by amicable negotiation.
The fifth article after mentioning that 'doubts had arisen what river was truly intended under the name, of the river St. Croix,' provides for ascertaining that river and the latitude and longitude of its mouth and source.
The sixth seventh and 8th articles have been executed.
The ninth provides for persons holding lands in the dominions of one of the parties who are subjects or citizens of the other; and the tenth is a stipulation in favor of moral honesty, viz. that neither party shall sequester or confiscate debts or property in the funds &c.
The third article of the new treaty provides for and regulates commerce between the U. States and the British East Indies, in the same terms as the thirteenth article of the old treaty, except that the words, and sailing direct from the ports of said states are inserted in the first clause, which now runs thus: "His majesty consents that the vessels belonging to the citizens of the U. States of America, and sailing direct from ports of the said states, shall be admitted and hospitably received in all the sea ports and harbors of the British territories in the East Indies."
The fourth article of the new treaty is the same as the fourteenth of the old one, and stipulates for a general liberty of trade between the U. States and the British dominions in Europe.
The fifth article of the new treaty is the same as the fifteenth of the old one (regulating the duties on ships and merchandise) with two exceptions: The first reserves to the U. States the right previously reserved to G. Britain, of imposing a tonnage duty equal to what shall be imposed by the other party. The second is made by substituting a new clause for the reservation formerly made by Great Britain of 'the right of imposing on American vessels entering into the British ports in Europe, such duty as may be adequate to counteract the difference of duty now payable on the importation of European and Asiatic goods when imported into the U. States in British or in American vessels.' Instead of this, the following words make part of
the new article. 'And in the trade of the two nations with each other, the same duties on exportation or importation of goods or merchandise shall be imposed, and the same drawbacks and bounties allowed in either country, whether the exportation or importation shall be in British or American vessels.'
The sixth article of the new treaty states that the parties cannot agree about our trade to the British West-Indies, but that 'while they will attempt an amicable agreement, both may exercise their existing rights.'
The seventh of this like the 16th of the other treaty provides for the appointment of consuls, &c.
The eighth of this, like the seventeenth of the other, provides for speedy decision on the capture and detention of vessels suspected of carrying enemy's goods or contraband of war. There is added a promise on the part of Great Britain, that hereafter indemnifications shall be granted for unjust seizure, for detention and vexation.
The ninth article is the same as the 18th of the old treaty (respecting contraband) only that tar and pitch are excepted from the catalogue, unless when going to a place of naval equipment.
The tenth article is the same as the 18th of the old (respecting blockade) with the addition, that passengers not in the military service of an enemy shall not be taken and made prisoners.
By the 11th article, citizens of the U. S. may carry European goods to the colonies of enemies of Great Britain (from the ports of the U. S.) provided that both vessel and cargo be bona fide American property, that the goods shall have been unladed within the U. S. and that (in addition to that part of the duty already reserved from the drawback on exportation) the further sum of one per cent. ad valorem on such goods shall be paid. They may also export from the U. S. to Europe, the produce of colonies of the enemies of Great Britain, provided they, being neutral property, shall have been unladed as before, and that two per cent. ad valorem be paid on exportation in addition to what is reserved on the drawback. After the expiration of the treaty, all antecedent rights on these subjects are to revive.
The twelfth article extends to ships of Great Britain, and of all nations who shall adopt the same regulation, the protection of our neutrality from a marine league to five miles from our shore.
The thirteenth article is substantially the same as the nineteenth of the old treaty, regulating privateers.
The fourteenth is the same as the 20th of the old treaty respecting pirates.
The fifteenth article of this treaty, like the twenty first of the other, prohibits the subjects or citizens of one party, to accept commissions from enemies of the other, and to commit acts of hostility.
The sixteenth, like the 22d of the other, forbids reprisals before a demand of satisfaction.
The seventeenth is the same as the 23d of the old treaty, which, after stipulating that the ships of war of each of the contracting parties shall at all times be hospitably received in the ports of the other, provides that American vessels driven by stress of weather, danger of enemies, or other misfortune, to seek shelter, shall be received in ports into which such vessels could not ordinarily claim to be admitted. This stipulation is now made reciprocal.
The eighteenth article, like the 24th of the old treaty, prohibits the armament of privateers belonging to the enemies of either, and the sale of their prizes in ports of the other party.
The 19th is the same as the 25th of the old treaty, permitting ships of war to bring in their prizes and take them away again without payment of duties, and prohibiting the entry of ships of the enemies of either party, which shall have made prize unless driven by stress of weather; in which case they are to depart as soon as possible.
The 20th is the same as the 26th of the old treaty, providing for merchants and others in one country, when war breaks out with the other.
The 21st of this, like the 27th of the other, relates to giving up persons charged with murder or forgery.
The 22d is a new article respecting shipwrecks, and promising humane treatment.
The 23d secures to each the rights of the most favored nation, and declares that 'all treaties hereafter made by either with any nation shall ipso facto be extended in all their favorable operations to the other.'
The 24th engages to join in abolishing the slave trade.
The 25th contains the stipulation that this treaty is not to interfere with antecedent engagements. And,
The 26th limits the duration to ten years from the exchange of ratifications.
It is dated the 31st December, 1806, but previous to the signature two notes were given, by the British to the American commissioners. The first keeps open for future discussion a claim of Britain not to pay more on goods sent from Canada or New Brunswick, into the territories of the States, than is paid on the importation of such goods in American ships. The 2nd note declares that the king of Great Britain has directed his commissioners, before they sign the treaty, to deliver that note, in order that a fair understanding may be had by all parties of his majesty's views in consequence of the blockading decree, to which the attention of the American commissioners is invited. The decree so recent in point of time, and so novel and monstrous in substance, that his majesty is at a loss to calculate on events; but supposing however that it will be formally abandoned or totally relinquished by Bonaparte, or in case he is mistaken in that supposition, he rests with confidence on the good sense of the government of the U. S. that they will not submit to an innovation so destructive of the right of neutral commerce. Should he however be mistaken in all these points, and the enemy should actually carry into execution his threats, and neutral nations acquiesce in such usurpation, he may probably, tho' reluctantly, be obliged to retaliate. The treaty secures to the United States so many privileges of neutral commerce, that at a time when his majesty and all neutral nations are threatened with such extension of belligerent pretensions from his enemies, without any explanation from the United States what they will do in case Bonaparte attempts to force on them his decree, his majesty must reserve to himself to act according to contingencies in that particular, the signing of the treaty notwithstanding. And as the distance of the American commissioners from their government renders a previous explanation impossible, his majesty authorises his commissioners to finish the treaty. This is done under the fullest persuasion that before the treaty returns to America ratified, time will discover the formal abandonment or the tacit relinquishment of the enemy of his pretensions; or in case that should not take place, that the government of the United States by their conduct or assurances will secure his majesty that they will not submit to innovations so destructive of maritime rights. But in case Bonaparte enforces his decree according to its tenor, and if neither by the assurances or conduct of America, a disposition is shown to oppose it, his majesty wishes to be fairly and clearly understood, that he will not consider himself bound by the signature of his commissioners to ratify, or in case he ratifies, he will not and cannot be precluded from adopting such measures as may seem necessary for counteracting the designs of his enemy, whenever they shall occur and be of such an extraordinary nature, as to require extraordinary remedies.'
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.
The ship Liverpool Packet, capt. Parsons, which arrived at this port last evening in 30 days from Liverpool, left there on the 27th of August, at which time it was reported that the U. S. sch'r Revenge had arrived in England, but nothing had transpired on the subject of her mission.
Captain Parsons has favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with London papers of the 23d of August, and Lloyd's Lists and Prices Current of the 21st.
Excepting the bombardment of Copenhagen, which was said to have commenced on the 17th, these papers relate no event of extraordinary interest.
From London papers to the 23d August, inclusive, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
LONDON, August 19.
Accounts were yesterday received from Stralsund, which come down to the 4th inst. At this date the garrison still continued a strenuous defence. The bulletin states, that a French outbreak had been destroyed in a successful sortie. With regard to the magnanimity and determination of the king of Sweden's protracted defence, which the prints of the day so handsomely enlarge upon, we must remark, that his majesty has twice unsuccessfully sued for an armistice; and that the French
general, on each application, insisted on the surrender of Stralsund, as a preparatory step to any negotiation. Gustavus, therefore, has now no choice but to surrender that fortress or to continue the war in a worse situation; and since Stralsund must be lost, it is at least worth while to give the besieger some trouble in taking it. Circumstances as he at present is, we cannot see that our ally's present conduct displays so much magnanimity, since he has hazarded a stake which any way he is sure to lose.
August 20. The situation of the minister for foreign affairs to Comptroller of the joint French negotiators with lord Lauderdale. He is elevated to the dignity of vice grand elector of the empire. An office, which, to an increase of dignity, joins relaxation from the details of business. If we consider the eminent services rendered at different times by the prince of Benevento, no honor in the power of Bonaparte to bestow will appear too great a reward. Whatever post, however, the weary politician may be promoted to fill, he will, doubtless, continue to take an active part in the imperial councils.
The Dutch papers mention, that the king of Holland has given orders that the governor of Curraoaa, and those concerned with him, shall be delivered up to the supreme tribunal, and prosecuted with all the rigor of the law.
Our expedition is said to have occasioned very little impression even in those places against which it is understood to be directed. A tendency to desertion is stated to prevail among the Hanoverian troops in the island of Rügen.
The Prussian ports, it is asserted, are already shut against all English ships; and it is positively affirmed, that Russia will do the same, provided we refuse to assent to such articles of peace as she may have settled for us with Bonaparte.
Admiral Collingwood is now generally understood to have proceeded with a squadron to the Dardanelles, with a view of acting towards the Russian fleet as circumstances may require. Every account, both foreign and domestic, plainly indicates the advanced formation of that hostile confederacy to which his majesty's speech refers.
Some of our politicians suspect that the French army of 40,000 men, commanded by general Junot, which is understood to be destined to compel the Portuguese to shut their ports against us, is, in reality, intended to invade some part of the British empire. They support this idea with considerable appearance of plausibility. They very justly observe, that such is the abject state of Portugal that an army of 40,000 men is totally unnecessary to accomplish such an object. The mandate of the French emperor, from the palace of St. Cloud, would be amply sufficient to induce that indolent nation to consent to anything. Bonaparte will, no doubt, aim the blow of invasion from a quarter where we least expect; it therefore behoves those to whom (for our sins) the safety of the country is committed, to use the utmost vigilance in attempting to discover the object of every movement of our indefatigable enemy.

We have this forenoon received a Gotterburgh mail, the contents of which are highly important. The Danes are determined on resistance. We insert the following private letter, for the authenticity of which we pledge ourselves, as the most satisfactory account of the intentions of Denmark, and the justest commentary on the proceedings of this country in our power to afford.
Copenhagen, August 11, 1807.
"At the present moment all is conjecture, confusion and anxiety. The island is now completely encircled by the British fleet, and until yesterday, even the ministry were ignorant of the motives of its appearance or designs. However, it appears that Mr. Jackson had presented himself on Thursday, at Keil, to our Prince Royal, who referred him to his majesty's minister count Bernstorff. What has passed is not yet known, but yesterday, all were alarmed by the activity of our hostile preparations; and, this day, unexpectedly surprised by the presence of the Prince in person, which gave a new string to the feelings, as well as preparatory operations of the people of all ranks and descriptions. It is, however, said that Mr. Taylor will, to-morrow, have an audience, the result of which will determine the procedure of the armament. They have been this day additionally reinforced by the troops that

were previously at Stralsund; so that, in the weak unprepared state we are in, very little opposition can be given, unless what can be excited by the highly aggravated feelings and spirit of the unoffending, peaceable and injured people of unhappy Denmark. I feel for his majesty with you and, while I anticipate, I deplore the future consequences. Mr. Carlyle, the former British minister, is yet here, but will be off to-morrow; and the next day will, most probably, determine our fate."
Last night we received an estafette from Kiel. Immediately after the generals and admirals assembled, and early in the morning orders were given to mount and man the batteries of our port. The workmen were ordered to assemble at the Holmes; and this moment our floating batteries, bottomed boats, and vessels of defence are all either laying out on the road or on the point of proceeding thither.
The coast stretching to Elsinore is occupied by cavalry, and the garrison of Copenhagen has been reinforced; in short, all necessary preparations are made to repel an hostile attempt: whether such an attempt will be made, and whether the English have really the intention of commencing hostilities with this country, remains yet uncertain.
In the mean time the Prince Royal unexpectedly arrived here this day at noon, to the great joy of the inhabitants, and immediately has cued to Holten.
The English fleet is still lying at anchor about 3 or 4 miles from this place, without having undertaken any thing. It is very strong; a chain of frigates and cutters reaches from the fleet past this city through the Great Belt into the Baltic. Mr. Taylor is said to have set out for
(Hamb. corres. Aug. 15.) Eutin, Aug. 11. (per Tonnungen mail) Some of the Merchantsmen, bound to Copenhagen and the Baltic, have been ordered by the commander in chief of the British fleet to remain there until further orders.
AUG. 28. With respect to the great object of national expectation, dispatches from Admiral Gambier, and the proceedings of the British fleet before Copenhagen, no fresh intelligence had been received at a late hour last night.
A letter from Yarmouth had reached the city by express which mentions that a merchantman had put into that port, bringing intelligence of her having been actually present at the commencement of the bombardment of Copenhagen on the 17th. It is resolved to attack the city, operations should certainly have been begun before this. Our fleet commands the whole island; its state of defence is very imperfect. Were the minds of our governors therefore are made upon the point, and they are resolved to stand all risks, they should certainly not permit their admiral to turn negotiator, or institute a marine cabinet on the quarter deck. To act is here to do every thing; all discussion is so much delay, and advantage to the enemy. Admiral Duckworth found it so before Constantinople, let admiral Gambier improve upon the precedent.
An expedition more formidable for mischievous of any kind was never fitted out by any kingdom. The Danes have manned all their batteries and are prepared to resist; unless we anticipate them here, we might as well have staid at home. What ever you do strike the blow. You have gone too far for negotiation to do you any good.
The foreign news of the week is not of much interest. The king of Sweden still keeps up a fruitless war in Pomerania and Stralsund still resists. It is a matter of regret that so much courage and military skill as the Swedish troops possesses should be suffered to evaporate in an enterprise which neither conduct nor courage can lead to any advantageous result. Brick and mortar have only a certain power of resistance, when that power is abated or overcome, the Swedish troops must bolt from their ruins and leave them to their enemies.
The French papers contain little news worthy of a comment. All the French marshals are to be created dukes and provided for in Germany and Poland. Talleyrand resigns the office of secretary of state, and becomes the second man in the empire. The peace of Tilsit is like to give both himself and his master the otium cum dignitate.
enemy had shown no disposition to attack Alexandria, the fortifications of which had been considerably strengthened. They had collected however between seven and eight thousand men near Rosetta. Our prisoners at Cairo it is said were in general in good health and treated with kindness. Several messages had passed between general Frazier and the Pacha, respecting them.

Seizure of Copenhagen. Our formidable expedition in the Baltic has now reached its destination and its object. It appears that a demand was made by Mr. Jackson the British negotiator, of the prince royal of Denmark, the substance of which was as follows. "That in the present state of the continent it was impossible to distinguish any longer, between a neutral and an enemy, but by her becoming an ally or an open foe. That something therefore was required besides an ordinary presumption of the real disposition of every state; and that while the influence of an implacable enemy predominated over every power within his reach, and either checked or converted into immediate hostility every engagement or inclination unfavorable to his interest, it was impossible to consider the ordinary covenants of any neutral nation either as a sufficient security for her own independence, or for those who confide in her neutrality. It became the duty of England therefore to discriminate in these circumstances, between rights paramount and invariable binding upon all states, and rights which might be suffered to relax and yield to that state of expediency in which a certain course of measures might involve the existence of a nation."
In this state, therefore, it was dangerous to Great Britain, and therefore ceased to be her duty, to recognise any longer the neutrality of Denmark, without a sufficient pledge; that this pledge was a permission to garrison the fortresses which command the passage of the Sound and the navigation of the Baltic, together with the free use of the Danish ports for her shipping, until such time as the pressure of circumstances ceasing the exigency on the part of Great Britain should determine.
It is scarcely to be doubted but that the prince royal was somewhat struck with this demand. He is said, however, to have replied with great calmness and intrepidity, "That the course of conduct required of Denmark was not that of a neutral or even of an ally, but of a belligerent. He was bound, therefore, in all sense of dignity, to repel the demand made upon her; and it remained for England to look for her justification to the general judgment of Europe, which would determine on which side the neutrality of the two kingdoms was first violated. Denmark has now no choice but to resist; whilst England had that of honor and a retreat."
PARIS, August 9. One of our journals states, that his majesty has awarded to gen. Victor the reward of his courage and his services, by elevating him to the rank of Marshal of the Empire.
A division of the army, which it is believed is destined to shut the English out of the ports of Portugal, in the event of the Court of London not accepting the mediation of Russia for the reëstablishment of a maritime peace, will assemble near the Western Pyrenees. It is said that gen. Junot governor of Paris, will have the command; and that his excellency will set out to-morrow, to put himself at the head of this division, which will bear the name of the corps of observation of La Gironde.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3.
A Quebec paper of September 4, observes, "That the whole of the Indian nations have offered their services to the British government in case of a war with the U. States"
The attempt of the English upon the Danes is a bold stride, and has the appearance of an enormous act of injustice against a neutral and unoffending people. The British must be prepared with some charges of secret hostility, or pleas of strong necessity, to justify it to the whole world. From the former spirit of the Danes, we may conclude that they will not readily yield to the demand, unless it is thro' a preference of falling into the hands of the English rather than those of the French.
[Salem Gazette.] Caesar has had the testimony of ages to his bravery; and yet he refuses a challenge from Anthony. He very calmly answered the bearer of the message: "If Anthony is weary of his life, tell him, there are other ways to death, besides the point of my sword."—How happy had we more examples of such magnanimity!
FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD.
MR. O'CONNOR, Sir, As the friend of Doctor Stark in his affair with capt. Gordon, I conceive it my duty to remove any unfavorable impression that the statement of lieut. Crane may have made on the public.
We agree as to the stipulation, "that if either of the principles fired before the word was given, the friend of the gentleman fired on, had the privilege of shooting him." But I am confident that Dr. Stark did not fire until the word was finished; it was a second or two before capt. Gordon discharged his pistol, and immediately called out "you have fired before the word."—Lieut. Crane then levelled his pistol and shot my friend, at the same time speaking in the most insulting manner. Can any man suppose for a moment that a man who had stood six fires before, would attempt to take such an advantage at the seventh? No sir it cannot be credited. Besides capt. Gordon might have retained his fire so as to take better aim—I shall now leave the public to judge between the parties, premising, that when Dr. Stark recovers from his wound, a full and candid statement of facts shall be laid before them.
I am sir, Your obedient servant, A. J. M'CONNICO. September 28, 1807.

Col. Burr told them he was a thorn in their side so long as he remained with them; that he had been taken with them two or three times; he had been carried on his trial to Washington; and he was now about to leave them; he told them what was his, was their's (alluding, as the witness supposes, to his property) and that they might go on and settle the Ouachita country, which he had purchased.
Cross-Examined.
Mr. Burr. Did you see gen. Wilkinson at New Orleans? A. I do not know whether I saw him. Q. Who invited to come here? A. I was summoned by Pennsylvania.
Mr. Blannerhasset. Do you recollect being in Dean's boat? A. I do recollect that its roof was leaky? Q. Do you not recollect I expressed some fears lest the leaks might injure my boxes? A. I do not recollect.

I was introduced to Mr. Burr by Mr. Tyler at the island opposite the mouth of Cumberland. I never held any conversation with Mr. Burr. Q. How many men were at the mouth of Cumberland? A. On the whole between 60 and 70, I am certain there were no 100. Q. What did Mr. Burr say to the party on the island? A. He said he had something to communicate, which he would take another time for. Mr. M'Rae. How many boats were at the mouth of Cumberland? A. I believe 10. Q. How many men in each boat? A. There were 7 in the boat I belonged to, I know not how many were in the others.
Cross-Examined.
Mr. Burr. How many men went from Blannerhasset's island? A. About 31. Were these men used to labor; to farming or mechanics? A. Most of them were not used to labor. Q. Did they do much hard work? A. They did. Q. What arms did they bring from Blannerhasset's island? A. I saw only one blunderbuss, one fuzee and a pair of pistols. Q. How much powder? A. I saw only a small keg. Q. How many pounds do you suppose it contained? A. About 10 or 15. Q. Were they not short of powder to kill game; did they not very often come into your boat to borrow some? A. They did. Q. What kind of game? A. Lucks and turkeys.
Mr. M'Rae. Do they kill this kind of game with bullets? A. Yes.
Mr. Burr. If the gentleman had ever been in Kentucky, he would have known, that it was considered inglorious there, to kill a squirrel or even ducks, with any thing but bullets.

GREAT BARGAINS.
INTENDING to remove to the state of Tennessee as soon as possible, I wish to dispose of the following valuable and increasing property upon low terms, which property I inherited from my ancestors, who have had a legal title to the same for upwards of one hundred years.
One tract well known by the name of ABINGDON , being on the Potomac river between Alexandria and George Town, and nearly opposite the city of Washington, beautifully situated, containing about Four Hundred acres, now leased to the Mr. Wises for three hundred and sixty dollars per annum with other stipulations contained in the said lease.
One other tract contiguous to the first, leased to William Fraser for forty dollars per annum, containing about sixty acres.
One other tract containing ten acres of bottom land, adjoining the Four-Mile Mill tract.
One other tract contiguous to the Abingdon estate, and within two and a half miles of George-Town, containing 725 acres. The greatest part of this land is heavily covered with red and white oak.
A L S O,
Three thousand acres on the Scioto River, in the state of Ohio.
This tract descended to me from my uncle George D. Alexander, being one moiety of the land he was entitled to for his military services during the revolutionary war. All the title papers with the wills under which I am entitled to the above property, are in the hands of BALDWIN DANE, Esq. to whom application will please to be made for terms &c. he being legally authorised to contract and dispose of all the above valuable property, for which good and satisfactory titles will be given.

He was about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight, of rather a yellowish or taney complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at col. Jemmeson's in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland. If 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 30 dollars reward.

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.

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, thickening 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 of 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 showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, 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 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 vigour. Although a great variety of cures have been published above, none has yet been enumerated above, none has yet been Dr. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose wonderful benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: Charles Ridgely , of Hampton; George 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 to be unable 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 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 23d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Nursemaker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Dr. 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 affection, 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 operates so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint ; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.

150 Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber sometime in the beginning of August, 1806, a dark Mulatto Woman, named MILLI , she is tall and boney, has bushy hair, and all her upper fore teeth are out, has a high nose and remarkably thick lips, on one of her thumbs she has had a bone fellow which occasions them to differ in appearance. She took with her two children, one a boy named Bon , now about 10 years of age, not very black; the other a bright mulatto girl named Betsey , about 7 years of age, now straight hair. She was seen in Baltimore about the first of September, 1806, and passed by the name of Betsey . Whoever takes up and secures said Runaways, so that I get them again, shall receive, if taken in Maryland or Virginia, One Hundred Dollars, or if at a greater distance the above reward and reasonable charges if brought home.
