REWARD.
RAN AWAY on the evening of the 7th inst. a Bright Mulatto Man named
BOB,
Who calls himself ROBERT THOMAS; About 5 feet 10 inches high, 24 or 25 years of age, has large black eye brows, large full eyes, not very dark, and is a stout well made handsome fellow. His hair is thick, but not quite straight, and he wears it nicely trimmed, combed and ridged on the top. His beard appears very black if suffered to grow for a day or two, but he usually shaves it very closely. He has recently received an injury on the fore finger of the left hand, and has it bound up, and may probably lose the first joint of it. He speaks deliberately, and is more correct in conversation than persons of his color usually are. He walks slowly, is a very good waiter, & delights particularly in attending to horses. He has a variety of cloaths, and took with him one dark green broadcloth coat and pantaloon with yellow buttons, one cloth coat and pantaloon nearly of the same color, but the cloth of inferior quality, with white metal buttons, one blue cloth coat much worn, one old brown surcoat with covered buttons, a good hat, and a pair of black top boots. The rest of his apparel I am not able particularly to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and pays great attention to his dress.
As he can read and write very well, he may probably produce a forged authority for him to pass, or procure the certificate of some one of the negroes, who, a few years ago, petitioned by the name of Thomas and obtained their freedom in Maryland. If taken out of the state of Maryland and district of Columbia, and secured in any jail, so that I get him again, the above reward will be given, or sixty dollars if taken and secured within the said state or district; all reasonable expenses will also be paid if he should be delivered to me in the city of Washington, or to Dr. Richard Duckett, in Prince George's county, Maryland. He is well acquainted in Annapolis, Baltimore, Geo. Town, and the city of Washington.

NO. VII.
LETTER OF THE HON. SENATOR ADAMS.
The honorable senator has exhausted his powers to show the importance of three points which his colleague had stated, as the only ground of the embargo; and yet, speaking of the orders of the British council of November last, he says:
"To my mind, in comparison with those orders, the three causes to which Mr. Pickering limits our grounds for a rupture with England might indeed be justly denominated pretences. In comparison with them former aggressions sink into insignificance. To argue upon the subjects of our disputes with Britain, or upon the motives for the embargo, and keep them out of sight, is laying your finger upon the units before a series of noughts and then arithmetically proving that they all amount to nothing."
Thus he not only gives direct assurance but calls in the aid of a violent metaphor to show, that in his opinion, every other cause of quarrel with England was insignificant; was nothing, in comparison with those orders.
When therefore the honorable Senator takes up the question of impressment, and long paragraphs and four short ones, it is fair to reply: Very fairly spoken, to be sure, but you yourself consider the thing as insignificant. And when again, through ten paragraphs more, he plays the termagant with the British for their rule of 1756, one of their adherents might reply, Lord sir! Why all this talk about nothing? And when again through ten other paragraphs, he amuses himself and his friends by stirring up the embers of strife to the tune of admiral Berkley, some wag might hint that it is beneath senatorial dignity to act a part in the comedy of Much ado about nothing .
In plain and sober truth, if these points were so trivial, why so much labor to show their importance? If important, why declare them to be insignificant; mere cyphers? As times go, it might be austere to ask for consistency of conduct; but really Mr. Senator, it is not unreasonable to ask for consistency of language, at least for the space of one letter. We presume not to expect that a second letter shall consist with the first. As to aberrations of that sort, we accept before hand the honest apology of tempora mutantur et nos mutamur in illis . To which we are always disposed, very civilly to reply—And much good may it do you. But indeed and in deed air, being Yankees and having at heart the honor of New England, we wish you had stuck to your text in what you composed and delivered for one day's edification. You will pardon us, however, if in deference to your declaration just cited, we should take too slight a notice of these aggressions, which sink into insignificance . We shall not overlook what you say of them, lest you should suppose we are wanting in respect.
First, then, on the claim of Britain to take her seamen from our merchant ships, you say that her prescriptive right cannot apply to us (who are but lately become an independent nation) if this right existed only against us while colonies; for that in such case
"As a relic of colonial servitude, it is not entitled to our submission."
You have too much understanding to believe it was your colleagues intention, that America should submit to a claim involving the acknowledgment of her dependence, as a colony, on Great Britain. Yes, air, you have too much understanding. You know better. If we take no further notice of what you say, it is because we do not wish, by contrasting your convictions with your insinuations, to place you in a position, alike awkward and uneasy. But you say further
"If it be meant that the right has been claimed and exercised for ages over the merchant vessels of other nations, I apprehend it is a mistake. The case never occurred with sufficient frequency to constitute a practice, much less a right. If it had been either, it would have been noticed by some of the writers on the law of nations. The truth is, the question arose out of American independence, from the severance of one nation into two. It never was made a question between any other two nations. There is therefore no right of prescription."
To this we reply, that the silence of writers on public law (admitting that they were silent) would only prove that the practice was, as in fact it was, a consequence of the clear, acknowledged principle, that every nation has a right to the
military service of her own people. You, air, well knew that the pretended right of expatriation is of novel date, and of no authority. If the case you mention did not occur, it was because the seamen of belligerent powers were seldom in the employ of other states. You know (and it not you may easily learn) that it has been the ancient practice of England, when a war broke out, to call for the return of all seamen and seafaring people, by a proclamation. And you know (or may easily learn) that France, like England, has insisted on this very right, and maintained it by her practice; and that she has (during this very war) taken her seamen from our ships. You know that a contract between two parties cannot impair the validity of a prior contract by either, with a third person, nor absolve them from their duties. And when you speak of seamen on board of our merchant vessels as being within our jurisdiction upon the high seas, you that you advance a position which, if maintained to the extent, must involve every neutral nation in war. If enemies goods are taken within the jurisdiction of a neutral power, it is an act of hostility. If a neutral merchant ship (on the high sea) is within the neutral jurisdiction, so as to render impressment unlawful, she is equally within the same jurisdiction to every other purpose; consequently all the cases of capture of enemy's goods on board a neutral ship, the legality of which has been admitted from the earliest times, must (according to your doctrine) be hostile aggressions. We will not follow you through the turnings and doublings of which the subject is susceptible. We all now know, and from the relation in which you stood to the executive department you could not have been ignorant (unless indeed they fooled you with half confidence) that Great Britain offered so to restrain the practice of impressment as to remedy the grievances of which we complain, and that Messrs. Munro and Pinkney signed a treaty, in the firm and honest belief that having obtained such a promise, they had substantially provided for that object of their instructions. They supposed it was the wish of the American government to protect American sailors, and never suspected a design to embroil the two countries (against their will) by exacting from the British ministers a formal abandonment of what their nation, and every other nation has hitherto considered as an unquestionable right. A thing which no British ministers dare to do; and which we, as a maritime power, ought not to ask. Our negotiators were, it seems, mistaken, and the hon. Mr. John Q. Adams now tells us, (speaking no doubt the language of his excellency Thomas Jefferson)
"I would subscribe to any compromise of this contest consistent with the rights of sovereignty, the duties of humanity and principles of reciprocity: but to the right of forcing even her own subjects out of our merchant vessels on the high seas, I can never assent."
That is to say, I will settle the matter any way you please, provided it be in the single way I please. This is the plain meaning when strip of sounding words which amount to nothing. The article (be it what it may) if reciprocal, must consist with the principles of reciprocity and the rights of sovereignty; because it must acknowledge the same rights in each sovereign. As for the duties of humanity, they are the usual stuff of a jacobin sausage, in which there is so much seasoning that poor humanity gets sadly peppered. If the duties of humanity are to be invoked, let them be exerted in making such honest provisions as may prevent abuse, and consequent suffering.

FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
French Revolutionary Influence.
NO. II.
HAVING, on its installation, burthened the commercial class of people with the whole advance of taxes, the administration soon after increased that public debt, of which the interest is provided by those taxes, in purchasing Louisiana for sixteen millions.
Nations, like individuals, may be very improper judges of their own cases, and this is the only way I can account for the silence of the public respecting this measure, but we should adopt what Washington taught us, that public virtue is the surest pledge of public blessing, and, if we have strayed from this pious maxim, remember that confession of error and repentance, is retribution and forgiveness anticipated.
However politic it might have been to acquire the government of Louisiana from the rightful owner, and adopt its citizens, with their own consent; the traffic with a third power, who had paid but little for it, and had at best, but an equivocal title to it, on the eve of a war in which that power was to take a part, and without the consent of the inhabitants or the belligerents, freely and formally given, may, I fear, be considered by posterity, a clandestine subsidy to that power.
This piece of policy, for the honor of which the negotiators contested, and for which the administration has claimed much credit, has a striking resemblance to that of Austria, in taking Venice, at the treaty of Leoben, and to that of Russia, in accepting part of Prussia at the treaty of Tilsit, but for which they both have been or will be punished, as well by the arms of the donor, as the contempt of the world.
If the price paid by the U. S. for this territory, was levied on the wealth of the community at large, or from that part of the country which is to be more immediately benefited by the free navigation of the Mississippi; the merchants and traders, some of whom have received a part of their neighbor's contributions in payment of claims on France, would have no particular right to complain, unless that the first bad effects of bad faith towards other nations, did, and will necessarily fall on them. This expence, like all others, therefore, is in the first instance supported by the merchants and traders exclusively, and their grievances are accumulated more, and rendered difficult to remedy or redress.
Before I take leave of this part of my subject, I cannot but express my doubts as to the authority by which this negotiation was undertaken. If the power to levy and sell be the same, coeval and tantamount, and the constitution has not, as will be admitted, authorized the general government to parcel and dispose of the territory of the U. S. on any terms; the power to buy and take possession of another territory, may well be questioned, no matter what the terms may be. And, lest my fellow citizens should suspect me of having broached a new and visionary doctrine, I ask leave to introduce a part of Vattel, book I. chap. xxi. § 2. and wish their attention to it the more, as it bears essentially on the subject which it is my intention to submit to their attention immediately.
This highly respected author on the Laws of Nations, says, "It (the nation) has not then a right to traffic with their (its members) rank and liberty, on account of any advantage it may promise itself from such a negotiation; they are united to the society, to be its members; they acknowledge the authority of the state, to promote in concert their common welfare and safety, and not to be at its disposal, like a farm or an herd of cattle. But the nation may lawfully abandon them in cases of extreme necessity, and it has a right to cut them off from the body, if the public safety require it."
The commerce of the country was again made to yield to French-philosophical policy, in the suspension of the trade to Hispaniola, soon after the purchase of Louisiana. A sovereign may have forfeited all the rights established in social compacts by his repeated and unrelenting transgressions of the laws of society; and it was a proper time to inquire into the internal as well as external policy of France, when her rulers called on us to forego the advantages of this trade. In my opinion, the tenure on which the European colonies are generally held, amounts to a state of vassalage; and these who never were integral parts of a nation, so as to enjoy the advantages and emoluments thereof, like other citizens or subjects, are always at liberty
to assume a self government and protection towards a metropole who has provoked such assumption by a total change of the civil organisation of the colony, and refusal, or inability to afford it political and external protection, as was the case with respect to France and Saint Domingo. A country like this confederacy, which has realised its independence and liberties, cannot, I conceive, renounce these principles to the prejudice of another colony, without a stigma on itself; and nothing but a more than ordinary spirit of persecution against trade, which exists in the government will account for such a sacrifice of interest and dereliction of principle.
By some mistake, no doubt, this act of government is not renewed, and would die a natural death, if another, more important, did not keep it alive; though in its nature it suffices every thing else.
A sub servient infatuation like this, has reconciled the world to the downfall of Prussia, and, from its fallen capital, was issued the first universal decree of blockade, the 21st November 1806. which, tho' expressed in general terms, could only be levelled at that country which remained neutral, or independent of both belligerents, any thing said by decrees, to the contrary notwithstanding. The mission to protest against and repel such an aggression on neutral right, on our part, whilst the merchants were prudently curtailing their risks, could alone have justified the policy of the execution of it on theirs; when that was openly resolved on, as we were warned by our agents abroad, England might be expected to retaliate, and our property returning from Europe would become a desirable prey of their navy.
But it seems that some persons were ambitious to imitate the Dutch Grand Pensioner and Spanish Prince of Peace.
At this crisis, before we had the certainty of such retaliating orders, we might more honorably and advantageously have redeemed the time England and France too had afforded us, and adopted vigorous measures of retaliation ourselves, without the appearance of being driven to extremes. Instead of which, the administration voluntarily and precipitately laid an embargo on our trade, universal in its application, and unlimited in its duration. I say the administration laid it; for not only do I acquit the thirty federalists of any participation in any such measures, but the twenty democratic members of congress who would not come at the beck, and barter their constituents' interests for ten lines of presidential communication, as must have done those, who as Mr. G. W. Campbell has told us, thought the affair self-evident, and saved their breath in defending it.

FOREIGN.
Extract from the Paris Argus. The preparations are continuing against Sweden, and they are of such a nature, that before three months are at an end, Gustavus will have lost his throne if he does not return to a more enlightened system of policy. The English have as yet landed but a few miserable German battalions. They will take care how they expose their national troops in a country where they would arrive only to be prisoners of war. Some newspapers have exaggerated in a very absurd manner the resources and strength of Sweden; she can hardly muster forty thousand men, and even most of these are very ill armed.
A great part of these troops consists of militia, whose fidelity cannot much be relied upon, as the people are decidedly against the war.
Czerni-George has given to his advanced posts the most precise orders to show the greatest regard to the advanced posts of the French troops which are in Dalmatia, towards the frontiers of Bosnia and Albania.
The cotton and coffee of Arabia arrive in such great quantities at Constantinople, the price of these two precious commodities, cannot fail of shortly experiencing a considerable fall in the markets of all the European states bordering upon Turkey.
We have received from Germany for some time past by means of the caravans of Turkey in Europe. These caravans have hitherto met with little or no difficulty in passing thro' the different armies which are assembled in the provinces of the Ottoman empire.
Our ports continue to be blockaded by the English; this however does not prevent the frequent arrival of vessels from the neighboring countries, laden with provisions.
The fort which commands the entrance of the port, is in the most respectable state of defence; so that it is not probable that the enemy should think of attacking it.
A newspaper said, ere yesterday, that the king of Sweden was able to put a hundred thousand men upon foot. Had the editor of that paper for a moment reflected, how could he have advanced such an assertion? The king of Sweden, whose zeal for England and

Governor Hull has written to judge Wood-ward, of the Michigan territory, announcing his re-appointment for the ensuing 3 years, and his desire for the judge to swear him into office. The judge in reply congratulates him on his re-appointment, but informs him that he is not vested with that authority, and that no officer now existing by law, can perform that duty; of course the governor must perform his duty without an oath until the next session of congress, who must make provision for a dilemma into which their neglect had thrown that officer.

Governor Trumbull, of Connecticut, in his address to the legislature, makes the following remarks on the proposed amendments to the constitution of the United States relative to the judiciary.
Among the public communications that are now to be made, are letters from the governors of the states of Virginia and Vermont, presenting resolutions of their respective legislatures, proposing amendments to the constitution of the United States, as respects the senate and judiciary of the Union. In making these communications to you, I cannot refrain from observing, that this desire of amendment, or rather alteration, of the constitution of the United States, is growing so prevalent, that in my estimation, the venerable instrument, the production of our former enlightened and experienced sages, is in danger of becoming essentially different from its first construction, if not fatally impaired in its original design to promote the general interest and public welfare of these United States."
NEW-LONDON, May 31.
On Saturday last put in here in distress, the schooner Rover, Samuel Coleman, master, from Nantucket bound to Baltimore.— That morning, off Block Island, in a heavy squall, she was struck by lightning; three men were struck to the deck, but sustained no material injury; the foremast and fore-topmast were splintered from top to the deck, and some of the sails badly perforated. At the instant of the shock, a number of small white flint stones, some of which were as large as a robin's egg, fell on the main deck—conjectured to be raised into the air by the suction of a water spout.
HESSIAN FLY.

From the American Daily Advertiser.
RESPECTED FRIEND.
THE following is extracted from an English publication, (entitled Possible's Memoirs of Agriculture .) and seems so extraordinary a produce of a vegetable called the Turnip rooted Cabbage, that perhaps, it may be thought worthy of the attention of our American Farmers.
The Turnip rooted Cabbage is a very hardy plant and is impenetrable by frost; a half acre piece though eaten off all winter long produced at least 17 tons of food in May, and maintained six milch cows, from which 106lbs. of butter was made, one heifer and one bull sixteen days on the herbage only. The roots afterwards kept 162 sheep of a year old, for 25 days, all in the utmost plenty. This crop amounting to 34 tons per acre, is certainly very large compared to the product of most other plants. A light soil and pretty deep, suits it best, but does not require very rich ground; the stalks and leaves are little inferior to broccom for family use. It may be sowed as turnips either in rows or broad cast, but not quite so thick as turnips; B. M c Mahon, author of the American Gardener's Callender , directs them to be thinned to the distance of 16 inches in the rows, but does not mention the distance the rows should be apart; however, that may be left to the discretion of the farmer, according as he means to attend them either with the plough or hoe, but the great advantage is to have the ground well meliorated with the plough and harrow previous to planting and afterwards kept clear of weeds.
I conclude thy assured friend,

P. S. This plant would be very valuable to those that keep many milch cows over winter, and attend market with milk, as it would cause them to give a considerable quantity more than they would upon hay.

The God of Nature has been pleased to crown the labors of our husbandmen, and the toils of our manufacturers with the abundance of his providence; and supplies for the wants of man; and in his scriptures he has commanded us, when even "our enemy hunger to feed him." If we are ordered thus to do to our enemies, what ought we not to do to our friends & neighbors. The Canadians have never injured us. On the contrary they are our friends. But even if they were our enemies, ought we not to feed and supply them? The American people have never yet relinquished to government the power to control their right to dispose of their surplus produce to whom the please. The constitution expressly declares, that "the powers not delegated to the U. S. by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states, respectively, or TO THE PEOPLE." And the people having never delegated to congress the powers assumed in the embargo laws, they are unconstitutional, and a dead letter. Will any one have the hardihood to say, because congress has "the power to regulate commerce," that therefore congress has the power to annihilate it? To regulate is "to secure to adjust by rule or method." Can this be construed to mean, to destroy commerce? If it can, then indeed there is no security in written constitutions. Then indeed may they be made to mean any thing or nothing! But, we repeat, the people never have delegated this power to destroy traffic between man and man; and the traffic is therefore reserved to them. The embargo laws are thus proved to be unconstitutional, and all the blood shed by those who are called to arms to execute them, will, like Abel's, call from the ground for vengeance.
We learn that detachments of troops from this state and New York, are on the march towards the Canadian lines to prevent the traffic which is carrying on in that quarter.

UNDAUNTED COURAGE.
Mr. Boswell, in his tour to Corsica, relates a remarkable anecdote, which Gen. Paoli told him. At the siege of Tortona, the commander of the army ordered Captain Carew, an Irish officer in the service of Naples, to advance with a detachment to a particular post. Having his orders he whispered to Carew, "Sir, I know you to be a gallant man, I have therefore put you on this duty which I tell you in confidence is certain death to you and your men: I place you there to make the enemy spring a mine below you." Carew made a bow to the General, and led on his men in silence to the dreadful post.—He there stood with an undaunted countenance, and having called to one of his soldiers for a draught of wine, "Here," said he, "I drink to all those who bravely fall in battle." Fortunately, at that instant, Tortona capitulated, and Carew escaped, after displaying a rare instance of determined intrepidity.

MR. FINDLAY,
Be so good as to give the following statement a place in your paper.
A shearing of seven ewes, was made at Rose Mount, the residence of doctor Kent, in Prince George's county, Maryland, on the 15th May, the following was the result.
  No. 1. 3 years old yielded 7 1-4 lbs.   2. 3 do. do. 6 1-4   3. 1 do. do. 8   4 & 5, twins, 1 year old 5 1-4 each   6, same age, 6 1-4   7. do. 6 1-4 
Average weight of wool yielded by three years old, 6 3-4 lbs of the yearlings, 6 3-4 lbs. The wool was clean and of a good quality. The lambs are the cross of the Calverton county and Dorsey Sheep, and make good mutton. They are easy feeders not remarkable for size, but well formed and keep their wool clean.
From the Mercantile Advertiser.
SIR,
As you have favored your subscribers with a publication of Dr. Cumming's discovery of sponging the body with ardent spirits in cases of yellow fever, you will also be so kind as to publish the following criticism on the subject, from your humble servant,
JOHN B. STROEBEL.
To make a useful discovery and to diffuse and establish its utility, gives to a benevolent mind much pleasure. But frequently do men flatter themselves with an opinion of being of more utility than what they really are; and suppose that they have made discoveries, when it is their fault that they only lately discovered what they might and ought to have learnt from others long before that time.
That sponging or bathing the body with cooling liquids, in an ardent fever, will mitigate the heat, has been long known
and frequently practised, since the fever took place in Philadelphia, 1793. If this practice is not generally established, it is at least very common, and its utility has been frequently published; and with this Dr. Cumming ought to have been acquainted, and he might have diffused the utility of this practice to the satisfaction of his benevolence, without its being his discovery.
But if Dr. Cumming claims some merit for having pointed out a liquor, that evaporates more fast, and creates more cold than water, it becomes the duty of the benevolent and better informed mind to point out the error and prevent the mischief it might do in the way it is recommended.
It is an established principle in the practice of physic, that means applied on the skin are partly absorbed and received inwardly. Opium and mercury may be applied externally in such a quantity as to kill. Ardent spirits, when applied to the body, and absorbed by it in time of ardent fever, will add fuel to the fire. The external cold created by it will soon be counterbalanced by the internal mischief.
The principal noxious effect which spirituous liquors have in general on the human body is their producing a remarkable debility in the muscular system. The commissioners, appointed at Paris for the examination of the operation of the Galvanic fluid have proved that alcohol destroys the susceptibility of the muscular fibres, that they cannot be acted upon by the galvanic or nervous fluid. This causes the staggering and falling of a drunken man. In ardent fevers the muscular system is easily in the same state of debility. When thus fever and alcohol act on the human body, the latter must be a very improper remedy against the former.
But experience is given as a proof of the utility of sponging with rum. This is empirical experience. It may prove that any sponging and creating external cold, is better in fevers than keeping the skin hot and dry; but it will not prove that rum answers the purpose better than water. The rapid evaporation of rum causing more cold than water, will not counterbalance the internal mischief. If more cold is required, than can be obtained by sponging with water, or vinegar and water, then let the body be immersed in a cold bath, and the patient may be cooled to any degree.
But since perspiration is the principal object which the physic wishes to produce in his fever patient, and ardent spirits is a very improper remedy to obtain it by; to supplant completely Dr. Cumming's discovery, antimony is proposed to answer that purpose better, as the most sure diaphoretic, and to prevent the inconveniences which it causes when taken on the stomach, tartar emetic may be dissolved in water, or vinegar and water, and the body may be sponged therewith, and thus a powerful safe schrifuge may be established.
APPROPRIATE EXTRACT.

DIALOGUE.
Ah John, how are you? What are you so pleased about? Have you found a parcel of bank bills?
John. No. I was thinking how cheap things will soon be now we have got an embargo. By Moses, we shall have loaves of bread as big as a kettle drum. But what's the matter with you? What makes you look so blue?
Ah! Johnny, If a peck of wheat flour was sold for a penny, And a man had neither credit nor money, In the midst of this plenty he might live and lack, Both meat to his belly and clothes to his back.

Sweden cannot be doubted, not able in the last campaign to put more than six or eight thousand men upon foot. To suppose the king of Sweden capable of arming twenty thousand men for the defence of his states, is to suppose a great deal. There are some editors of newspapers, who in this manner create armies with a stroke of a pen, and of their own private authority, enrol the whole population of a country. Sweden is a weak power, who stands in need of the utmost wisdom to support herself, but whom the unexampled folly of the present sovereign is burying to complete ruin. She has lost Pomerania, and will doubtless soon lose Finland. As to the English, all the assistance which they are able to afford her, will be to send her two or three regiments of deserters. This is all that they can do for their allies.
Publiciste.
By a decree of the 8th of March, the Abbe Boulogne, one of his majesty's chaplains, has been promoted to the bishoprick of Troye, vacant by the death of Mr. La Tour-du-Pin. The Swedish Finland, to which the attention of Europe is now directed, contains according to a late publication, 106,520 inhabitants, an extent of 92 miles in length by 71 miles in breadth; consequently its population is one in the proportion of 179 inhabitants per square mile, (about five and an half English miles.) Finland is, notwithstanding, one of the most fertile provinces in Sweden. It is one of those which produce the most corn, and if it were not for the frequent wars of which it has been the theatre, it would be in still more flourishing state. It is covered with lakes, marshes and woods. It produces more wheat than is necessary for their own subsistence, and its meadows are excellent. In 1748 Russia conquered the greater part of Swedish Finland, which she united to the government of Wiborg. That province is of great importance to Stockholm.

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
By 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 speeck, &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 heat 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 sense remark however is too often forgotten, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton— Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; no 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 it 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.
