MESSAGE
From the president of the United States, respecting the violation of neutral rights; the depredations on the colonial trade, and impressments of American seamen.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. States.
In my message to both houses of congress, at the opening of their present session, I submitted to their attention among other subjects, the oppression of our commerce and navigation by the irregular practices of armed vessels, public and private, and by the introduction of new principles, derogatory of the rights of neutrals, and unacknowledged by the usages of nations.
The memorials of several bodies of merchants of the United States are now communicated, and will develop these principles and practices which are producing the most ruinous effects on our lawful commerce and navigation.
The right of a neutral to carry on commercial intercourse with every part of the dominions of a belligerent, permitted by the laws of the country (with the exception of blockaded ports, and contraband of war) was believed to have been decided between Great Britain and the U. States, by the sentence of their commissioners, mutually appointed to decide on that and other questions of difference between the two nations; and by the actual payment of the damages awarded by them against G. Britain, for the infractions of that right. When, therefore, it was perceived that the same principle was revived, with others more novel, and extending the injury, instructions were given to the minister plenipotentiary of the United States at the court of London, and remonstrances duly made by him, on this subject, as will appear by documents transmitted herewith. These were followed by a partial and temporary suspension only, without any disavowal of the principle. He has, therefore, been instructed to urge this subject anew, to bring it more fully to the bar of reason, and to insist on rights too evident, and too important to be surrendered. In the mean time, the evil is proceeding under adjudications founded on the principle which is denied. Under these circumstances the subject presents itself for the consideration of congress.
On the impressment of our seamen, our remonstrances have never been intermitted. A hope existed at one moment, of an arrangement which might have been submitted to, but it soon passed away, and the practice though relaxed at times in the distant seas, has been constantly pursued in those in our neighborhood. The grounds on which the reclamations on this subject have been urged, will appear in an extract from instructions to our minister at London, now communicated.

DOCUMENTS.
Extract of a letter from the secretary of State to James Monroe, Esq. dated, Department of State, April 12, 1805.
"The papers herewith inclosed explain particularly the case of the brig Aurora."
"The sum of the case is that whilst Spain was at war with Great Britain, this vessel owned by a citizen of the United States, brought a cargo of Spanish produce purchased at the Havanna, from that place to Charleston where the cargo was landed except an insignificant portion of it, and the duties paid or secured according to law, in like manner as they are required to be paid, or secured on a like cargo from whatever port, meant for home consumption, that the cargo remained on board about three weeks, when it was re-shipped for Barcelona, in old Spain, and the duties drawn back with a deduction of three and a half per cent. as is permitted to imported articles in all cases, at any time within one year and under certain regulations, which were pursued in this case; that the vessel was taken on her voyage by a British cruiser, and sent to Newfoundland for trial, where the cargo was condemned by the court of vice admiralty, and that the cause was carried thence by appeal, to Great Britain, where it was apprehended that the sentence below would not be reversed."
The ground of this sentence was, and that of its confirmation if such be the result, must be that the trade in which the vessel was engaged was unlawful and this unlawfulness must rest, first, on the general principle assumed by Great Britain, that a trade from a colony to its parent country, being a trade not permitted to
other nations in time of peace, cannot be made lawful to them in time of war; 2ndly on the allegation that the continuity of the voyage from the Havanna to Barcelona, was not broken by landing the cargo in the United States, paying the duties thereon, and thus fulfilling the legal pre-requisites, to a home consumption, and therefore that the cargo was subject to condemnation even under the British regulations of one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight, which so far relaxes the general principle as to allow a direct trade between a belligerent colony, and a neutral country carrying on such a trade.
With respect to the general principle which disallows to neutral nations in time of war, a trade not allowed to them in time of peace, it may be observed.
First, That the principle is of modern date; that it is maintained, as is believed, by no other nation but Great Britain; and that it was assumed by her under the auspices of a maritime ascendancy, which rendered such a principle subservient to her particular interest. The history of her regulations on the subject, shews that they have been constantly modified under the influence of that consideration. The course of these modifications will be seen in an appendix to the fourth volume of Robinson's Admiralty Reports.
Secondly, that the principle is manifestly contrary to the general interest of commercial nations, as well as to the law of nations settled by the most approved authorities, which recognises no restraints on the trade of nations not at war, with nations at war, other than that it shall be impartial between the latter, that it shall not extend to certain military articles, nor to the transportation of persons in military service, nor to places actually blockaded or besieged.
Thirdly, That the principle is the more contrary to reason and to right, inasmuch as the admission of neutrals into a colonial trade shut against them in times of peace, may, and often does, result from considerations which open to neutrals direct channels of trade with the parent state, shut to them in times of peace, the legality of which latter relaxation is not known to have been contested; and inasmuch as commerce may be, and frequently is opened in a time of war between a colony and other countries, from considerations which are not incident to the war, and which would produce the same effect in a time of peace; such for example, as a failure or diminution of the ordinary sources of necessary supplies, or new turns in the course of profitable interchanges.
Fourthly, That it is not only contrary to the principles and practice of other nations, but to the practice of Great Britain herself. It is well known to be her invariable practice in time of war, by relaxations in her navigation laws, to admit neutrals to trade in channels forbidden to them in times of peace; and particularly to open her colonial trade both to neutral vessels and supplies, to which it is shut in times of peace; and that one at least of her objects, in these relaxations, is to give to her trade an immunity from capture, to which in her own hands it would be subjected by the war.
Fifthly, The practice which has prevailed in the British dominions, sanctioned by orders of council and an act of parliament, [9 G. 3. c. 98.] authorising for British subjects a direct trade with the enemy, still further diminishes the force of her pretensions for depriving us of the colonial trade. Thus we see in Robinson's admiralty reports passim, that during the last war, a licensed commercial intercourse prevailed between Great Britain and her enemies, France, Spain and Holland, because it comprehended articles necessary for her manufactures and agriculture; notwithstanding the effect it had in opening a vent to the surplus productions of the others. In this manner she assumes to suspend the war itself as to particular objects of trade beneficial to herself; whilst she denies the right of the other belligerents to suspend their accustomed commercial restrictions in favor of neutrals. But the injustice and inconsistency of her attempt to press a strict rule on neutrals, is more forcibly displayed by the nature of the trade which is openly carried on between the colonies of Great Britain and Spain in the West Indies. The mode of it is detailed in the enclosed copy of a letter from
wherein it will be seen that American vessels and cargoes, after being condemned in British courts under pretence of illicit commerce, are sent on British account, to the enemies of Great Britain, if not to the very port of the destination interrupted when they were American property. What respect can be claimed from others to a doctrine not only of so recent an origin, and enforced with so lit-
tle uniformity, but which is so conspicuously disregarded in practice by the nation itself, which stands alone in contending for it?
Sixthly, It is particularly worthy of attention that the board of commissioners jointly constituted by the British and American governments under the seventh article of the treaty of 1794, by reversing condemnations of the British courts founded on the British instructions of November, 1793, condemned the principle, that a trade forbidden to neutrals in time of peace, could not be opened to them in time of war; on which precise principle these instructions were founded. And as the reversal could be justified by no other authority than the law of nations, by which they were guided, the law of nations, according to that joint tribunal, condemns the principle here combatated. Whether the British commissioners concurred in these reversals does not appear; but whether they did or did not, the decision was equally binding; and affords a precedent which could not be disrespected by a like succeeding tribunal, and ought not be without great weight with nations, in like questions recurring between them.
On these grounds the United States may justly regard the British captures and condemnations of neutral trade with colonies of the enemies of Great Britain as violations of right; and if reason, consistency, or that sound policy which cannot be at variance with either, be allowed the weight which they ought to have, the British government will feel sufficient motives to repair the wrongs done in such cases by its cruisers and courts.
But, apart from this general view of the subject, a refusal to indemnify the sufferers, in the particular case of the Aurora, is destitute of every pretext; because, in the second place, the continuity of her voyage was clearly and palpably broken, and the trade converted into a new character.
It has been already noted that the British regulation of 1798, admits a direct trade in time of war between a belligerent country, and a neutral country carrying on the trade; and admits consequently the legality of the importation by the Aurora from the Havanna to Charleston. Nor has it ever been pretended that a neutral nation has not a right to re-export to any belligerent country whatever foreign productions not contraband of war, which may have been duly incorporated and naturalized, as part of the commercial stock of the country re-exporting it.
The question then to be decided under the British regulation itself, is, whether in landing the cargo, paying the duties, and thus as effectually qualifying the articles for the legal consumption of the country, as if they had been its native productions, they were not at the same time equally qualified with native productions for exportation to a foreign market. That such ought to be the decision results irresistibly from the following considerations.
1. From the respect which is due to the internal regulations of every country, where they cannot be charged with a temporizing partiality towards particular belligerent parties or with fraudulent views towards all of them. The regulations of the U. S. on this subject, must be free from every possible imputation; being not only fair in their appearance, but just in their principles, and having continued the same during the periods of war, as they were in those of peace. It may be added that they probably correspond in every essential feature relating to re-exportation, with the laws of other commercial countries, and particularly with those of Great Britain. The annexed outline of them, by the Secretary of the Treasury, will at once explain their character, and shew that, in the case of the Aurora, every legal requisite was duly complied with.
2. From the impossibility of substituting any other admissible criterion, than that of landing the articles, and otherwise qualifying them for the use of the country. If this regular and customary proceeding, be not a barrier against further enquiries, where, it may be asked, are the enquiries to stop? By what evidence are particular articles to be identified on the high seas, or before a foreign tribunal? If identified how is it to be ascertained whether they were imported with a view to the market at home, or to a foreign market, or as ought always to be presumed, to the one or the other as it should happen to invite? Or if to a foreign market, whether to one forbidden or permitted by the British regulations? For it is to be recollected that among the modifications which her policy has given to the general principle asserted by her, a direct trade is permitted to a neutral carrier from a belligerent colony, to her ports, as well as to those of his own country.
If, again, the landing of the goods, and the payment of the duties be not sufficient to break the continuity of the voyage, what, it may be asked, is the degree of internal change or alienation which will have that effect? May not a claim be set up to trace the articles from hand to hand, from ship to ship, in the same port, and even from one port to another port, as long as they remain in the country? In a word, in departing from the simple criterion provided by the country itself, for its own legitimate and permanent objects, it is obvious that besides the defalcations which might be committed on our carrying trade, pretexts will be given to cruisers for endless vex-
ations on our commerce at large, and that a latitude and delays will accrue in the distant proceedings of admiralty courts, still more ruinous and intolerable.
3. From the decision in the British high court of admiralty itself, given in the case of the Polly, Lasky, master, by a judge deservedly celebrated for a profound judgment, which cannot be suspected of leaning towards doctrines unjust or injurious to the rights of his own country. On that occasion he expressly declares; "It is not my business to say what is universally the test of a bona fide importation: it is argued that it would be sufficient that the duties should be paid, and that the cargo should be landed. If these criteria are not to be resorted to, I should be at a loss to know what should be the test; and I am strongly disposed to hold, that it would be sufficient, that the goods should be landed, and the duties paid." 2 Rob. Rep. p. 368-9.
The president has thought it proper that you should be furnished with such a view of the subject as is here sketched; that you may make the use of it best suited to the occasion. If the trial of the Aurora should not be over it is questionable whether the government will interfere with its courts. Should the trial be over and the sentence of the vice-admiralty court at St. Johns have been confirmed, you are to lose no time in presenting to the British government a representation corresponding with the scope of these observations; and in urging that redress in the case, which is equally due to private justice, to the reasonable expectations of the United States, and to that confidence and harmony, which ought to be cherished between the two nations.
NEW YORK, January 23.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
Though the political intelligence by the ship Huntress from Bordeaux is not so late as that received at Norfolk by the Highland Mary, yet our file of French papers has enabled us to publish two intermediate bulletins which were wanting to complete the series of the operations of the French army in Germany, and to give an additional bulletin from the army of Italy.
PARIS, 24th Brumaire.
Eighteenth Official Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Lintz, 14th Brumaire, 14th year.
Prince Murat does not lose sight of the enemy. The enemy had left in Ebersberg three or four hundred men to prevent the passage of the Traun; but the dragoons of gen. Walter threw themselves into boats, and under the protection of the artillery, impetuously attacked the city. Lieut. Villaudet, of the 12th regiment of dragoons, was the first who crossed in a little boat. Gen. Walter, after having passed the bridge over the Traun, proceeded by the Enns. The brigade of gen. Milhaud met the enemy at the village of Asten, routed them, pursued them quite into the Enns, & made 200 prisoners, 50 of whom are Russian hussars. 20 Russian hussars have been killed. The rear of the Austrian troops supported by the Russian cavalry, has been totally routed, neither of them have withstood a single charge. The 22d and 23d chasseurs and their colonel Latour Maubourg and Durosuel, have shown the greatest bravery. Prince Murat's aid de camp, Flahaut, has received a ball in his arm. During the 13th we passed the Enns, and to-day prince Murat is in pursuit of the enemy. Marshal Davoust arrived on the twelfth at Steyer; on the 13th he took possession of the city, and has made 200 prisoners; the enemy evinced a disposition to defend it. General Beaumont's division of dragoons supported its reputation. The aid de camp of gen. Beaumont has been killed. Both the bridges on the Enns are entirely repaired. At the battle of Lambach, the Austrian colonel de Graffen, and the Russian colonel Koloffkin have been killed.
The Austrian Emperor who has arrived at Lintz, has received the compliments of the regency, concerning the bad conduct of the Russians, who are not content with plundering, but have beaten the peasants which has caused a great number of villages to be deserted.
The Emperor appeared very much affected at these outrages, and said that he could not answer for the Russian troops, in the same manner as for his own, that they must suffer patiently; which has afforded no consolation to the inhabitants.
A considerable number of warehouses were found at Lintz, and a great quantity of cloths and military great coats in the imperial manufactures.
General Deroi, at the head of a corps of Bavarians, has fallen in at Lovers, with the van of a column of five Austrian regiments from Italy, completely routed it, and has

four hundred prisoners and three pieces of cannon. The Bavarians fought with extreme bravery. Deroi himself was wounded by a pistol shot. These little engagements have afforded room for the display of a great number of instances of courage on the part of particular officers. The major general is employed in drawing up a full relation, in which each one will receive the share of glory which his courage shall have merited. The Inns may be considered as the last line which defends the approaches to Vienna. It is reported that the enemy intends to keep possession of, and intrench himself behind the heights of Sainte Hippolyte, ten leagues from Vienna. Our van will be there to-morrow.
Nineteenth official Bulletin of the Grand army.
Linz, 13th Brumaire, year 14. The battle of Lovers was very brilliant, for the Bavarians. The Austrians occupied beyond Lovers a defile almost inaccessible, flanked to the right and left by perpendicular mountains. The top was covered with Tyrolean Chasseurs, who were acquainted with all the paths; three forts of stone work enclosing the mountains, rendered the access to them almost impassible. After a vigorous resistance, the Bavarians routed the enemy every where, took 2 pieces of cannon and made themselves masters of all the forts—but at the attack of the last, lieut. general Deroi, commander in chief of the Bavarian army, was wounded by a pistol shot. The Bavarians have had twelve officers killed or wounded, 50 soldiers killed and two hundred and fifty wounded. The conduct of lieutenant general Deroi merits the highest Eulogium—he is an old and honorable officer, extremely attached to the Elector, whose friend he is.
Every moment has been so employed, that the Emperor has not yet been able to review the Bavarian army, nor to become acquainted with the brave men who compose it. Prince Murat, after taking of Enns, pursued the enemy anew. The Russian army had taken a position on the heights of Amstetten; Prince Murat attacked it with General Oudinot's grenadiers; the battle was obstinately contested. The Russians were driven from all their posts, and have left 400 dead on the field of battle, and 1500 prisoners. Prince Murat praises General Oudinot in particular; his aid de camp La Grange was wounded.
Marshal Davoust, at the passage of the Inns at Steyer, praises peculiarly the conduct of General Heudelet, who commands his van. He continued his march, and has arrived at Wahidoffen. All the intercepted letters state that the furniture of the Court is already embarked on the Danube, and that they are expecting at Vienna the speedy arrival of the French.
Fifth Official Bulletin of the Army of Italy.
4th Brumaire. After some hours repose at Montebello, the army pursued the enemy to Vincence. The gates of the city had been walled up; the enemy were summoned to evacuate it; their reply was in the negative. A sentiment of humanity had dictated the summons of the general in chief; it was indispensable necessary to force a passage, and to point cannon and some howitzers against the gates, and unfortunately against the city itself. We entered it at the break of day. The precipitation with which the enemy retreated obliged them to abandon a thousand wounded, and to leave part of the contents of several magazines at our disposal. In the course of the day we made 800 prisoners. The Austrians retreated by the road to Bassano. The army followed them, and continually harassed their rear. At the separation of the road to Bassano and Treviso, they directed their march towards the latter city, burning behind them the bridge which is over the rapid stream near Palu. Having arrived at the village of St. Pierre in Gu, we found it occupied by a body of troops, which we charged vigorously. The village was carried after a combat which again procured to us 600 prisoners and one piece of cannon. We marched towards the Brenta. The van arrived at the moment when the enemy were attempting to destroy the bridge. There began from one bank to the other a heavy cannonade, which the night only put a stop to. The army was under arms upon the right bank. At four o'clock in the morning, I caused several regiments of cavalry with light troops mounted behind to ford the river, while the bridge was repairing. The army soon filed off, and we arrived at Cittadella in sufficient time to carry the last posts of the enemy. At five o'clock in the evening, we entered Castelfranco, and our Chasseurs had already occupied Salrathonda and Albaredo. The general in chief felt the necessity of granting some hours to the wants of the army.—In our march from Montebello, we have taken more than 1800 prisoners. The right division marched towards Padua, where it arrives to day; the left went by the Sette Comuni towards Bassano, which it will occupy to-morrow. The army marches towards Pavia.
Paris, 22d Brumaire, (14th Nov.) The following is an extract of a letter from Milan, dated the 9th November, which contains details respecting the flight of the Archduke Charles, subsequent to those which we read in the 5th bulletin from the army of Italy. "At the moment in which I am writing to you, the whole of Italy must have been evacuated by the Austrians. It was expected that they would endeavor to retreat through Styria and Corinthia, which might still have afforded them some passages by which to escape from the grand army.—The archduke Charles believed that he law a more speedy retreat in the Tyrol, and he will there be placed between two fires. Austrian prisoners and defectors come in in crowds. They express joy at finding themselves among the French and above all at having bread to eat.—They cannot express all the hardships which they have suffered. A contribution of 400,000 francs has been imposed by the French on Verona, and one million on Padua. The Austrians have abandoned Venice; but it is believed that it is yet occupied by the Russians. The greatest joy prevails in the kingdom of Italy."

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29.
Captain Poulson, who arrived here this day from Teneriffe via St. Thomas furnishes us with some further particulars respecting the Rochefort squadron, which he derived partly from the American captains, whose ships had been destroyed, and partly from his own observation. This fleet put to sea in expectation of meeting the combined fleet from Cadiz, for this purpose they cruized some time in a certain latitude, during which they destroyed the neutral vessels. After some time they endeavoured to gain the port of Vigo, but the wind heading they made for Teneriffe, where the arrived consisting of one three decker four seventy fours, three frigates, two brigs, the Calcutta and 6 merchant ships prizes. They sailed on the 17th November, with the Calcutta, which they had commissioned. From the small quantity of provisions and water, which they procured at Teneriffe, and from the circumstance of taking the captain and crews of the neutral vessels with them, captain P. concludes they will attempt to enter some port in Spain. A ship had arrived at St. Thomas, one of the cork convoy, the captain of which states, that the convoy was met, as stated in the account via Nassau, and all except two or three were destroyed by this squadron after leaving Teneriffe. (Norfolk Ledger.)
Captain Southworth, who arrived here yesterday from Elsineur, informs us, that on the 17th December, in lat. 45, 50, long. 14, he was boarded by a French corvette, in company with seven sail of French line of battle ships, steering West South-West. We cannot conjecture what French fleet this can be, having heard of no other, except the Rochefort squadron being at sea. If it had not been for the course which this fleet was steering, we should have supposed it to be the Rochefort squadron. [Ibid.]
There are some men whose heads are so oddly turned, that though they are utter strangers to the common occurrences of life, they are able to discover the sex of a cockle, or describe the generation of a mile in all its circumstances. They are so little versed in the world, that they scarce know a horse from an ox;—but at the same time will tell you with a great deal of gravity, that a flea is a rhinoceros, and a snail an hermaphrodite. I have known one of these whimsical philosophers, who has set a greater value upon a collection of Spiders than he would upon a flock of sheep, and has sold his coat off his back to purchase a tarantula. Addison.
The following pleasing anecdote is from Carr's Northern Summer. In the institution of Catharine, under the direction of Madame Bredkoff, an elderly lady of distinguished talents, and sweetness of disposition, the following little circumstance occurred which will prove that the Russian mind, whatever may have been said of it, is susceptible of feeling and generosity. In this institution, which is supported by the Empress dowager, a limited number of young ladies are admitted, free of expence, by ballot; but others are received upon paying, as it is termed, a pension. At the last admission, two little girls, the eldest not exceeding ten years of age, the daughters of a naval captain, who in this country is noble, the father of a large family, presented themselves, and drew, the one a prize, the other a blank. Although so young, they knew that fate had, in this manner, resolved upon their separation; they felt it and wept. Another young lady, to whom the next chance devolved, drew a prize, and observing the distress of the sisters, without any communication with their parents, or with any other person, spontaneously ran up to the luckless little girl, presented her
with the ticket, and leading her up to the directress, said "See madam I have drawn a prize, but my papa, can afford to pay the pension, and I am sure will pay it for me, so let one who is less fortunate enjoy good that has happened to me." This charming anecdote was immediately reported to the empress Dowager, who expressed the highest delight, and paid out of her own purse, the pension of the little benefactress.
BALLAD—by DIBDIN. The world's a strange world, child, it must be confess'd, We all of distress have our share; But since I must struggle to live with the rest, By my troth 'tis no great matter where. We all must put up with what fortune has sent, Be therefore one's lot poor or rich, So there is but a portion of ease and content, By my troth 'tis no great matter which. A living's a living, and so there's an end; If one honestly gets just enough, And something to spare for the wants of a friend, By my troth 'tis no great matter how. In this world about nothing we'd busy appear; And I've said it again and again, Since quit it one must, if one's conscience be clear, By my troth 'tis no great matter when.

JAMES KENNEDY, SEN. KING-STREET, RESPECTFULLY informs the public that he has received, from LEB & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, New-York, a fresh assortment of the following Valuable Medicines, Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded could be purchased at a retail store.
TAKE NOTICE That J. Kennedy, Sen. is appointed the only agent for ALEXANDRIA. 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 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. Mr. Abijah 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 unparallelled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.    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, palsy, 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 isatica, 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 reduced 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 and constitution, and also
contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and to so 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 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 safest 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 Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia or tape worm to be 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—Purgings, with slimy and foetid 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 about 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 repelled 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.
