The Subscribers,
Take leave to inform their friends and the public in general, that the
EAGLE TAVERN,
IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND, WILL hereafter be conducted under the immediate management of GEORGE TURNER, they having formed an engage-ment for this purpose. They entertain the most sanguine hopes that their unremitting exertions will entitle them to patronage and favor. Every comfort which necessity may require, or which taste may suggest, will be procured with avidity and pleasure. They are determined, if possible, to render the EAGLE in every department of their business agreeable to their guests, and a pleasant a-bode to the stranger.—Their solicitude upon this score has induced them at considerable ex-pence to make some important changes in the arrangement of the rooms. They feel a great share of confidence in assuring their friends that they will meet with every con-venience and attention that a house of this character is calculated to afford. Their bed-rooms are furnished with an entire new set of beds and furniture, with a suit of curtains to each, and the floors covered with carpets. Their stables are large and commodious, (which will always be furnished with a full supply of the best provender the country af-fords) stands within twenty steps of the house, with a pump of excellent water at the door, for the purpose of watering and washing the horses.
They take leave further to state, that a COFFEE-ROOM has lately been establish-ed in one of the rooms of the Eagle, in which the newspapers from all the principal towns on the continent are to be seen. With these advantages, & these determinations in which they are resolved never to relax, they can but hope for the most flattering success.

Alexandria Daily Gazette, COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL.
PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL SNOWDEN, Royal-street, Alexandria.
Daily Gazette, 6 Dollars per annum. Country Gazette, 5 Dollars.
A Republic and a Despotism. —It is with pleasure the following "deprecation" of an attachment to France, is extracted from the National Intelligencer :
"A devotion to the fortunes of any foreign nation must be fatal to our independence; a devotion to the interests of a monarchy, founded in usurpation, and consolidated by conquest, would indeed imply a total destitution of common virtue or common sense. Presenting such a hideous abyss of degradation and ruin, as could not fail to appal the stoutest heart; an honest American, devoted to liberty and true to his country, would instinctively shrink from men who advocated such a baleful coalition. He would justly infer that such advocates were either the tools or victims of foreign corruption, or that they were callous to all the precious ties that produce a community of interests among us. He would avoid them as a pestilence, and prefer any alliance to one with them."
From the Freeman's Journal.
Mr. Jefferson at home.
The late president of the U. States is at length safe in the recess of obscurity. As the poet says,
How little are the great! whenthy have once passed over the political stage. Mr. J. has no longer occasion to exclaim, with the Sabine bard, Oh rural retirement, when shall I behold thee? Home and all its heartfelt joys are his, and long may he enjoy them. There will be no more adulatory addresses, no more "man-worship," and thanks to Divine Providence, no more Jeffersonian influence upon our public councils. But Mr. Jefferson has been welcomed home, and we have no objection to the thing at all, by the majority of the people in his own county. In answer to their compliments, he asks, with the prophet Samuel—this quotation from the Bible is a good omen— Whose ox have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or of whose hands have I received a bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? He has thought proper to omit one of the prophet's questions, or whose ass have I taken? Mr. J. was sensible that the people knew very well that he had had thousands of the long-eared tribe, in the human shape too, a sort of "centaurs not fabulous," hanging about him ever since he had power and place at his disposal. As for the rest, the late President was never accused of stealing oxen, or of being bribed by any thing else than the love of power and popularity. We believe he was almost as incorruptible as Fabricius on the score of money.
We subjoin the production to which we have alluded. It is probably the last "state paper" that will issue from his bureau.
To the inhabitants of Albemarle county in Virginia.
Returning to the scenes of my birth and early life, to the society of those with whom I was raised, and who have been ever dear to me, I receive, fellow-citizens and neighbours, with inexpressible pleasure, the cordial welcome you are so good as to give me. Long absent on duties, which the history of a wonderful era made incumbent on those called to them, the pomp, the turmoil, the bustle and splendor of office, have drawn but deeper sighs for the tranquil and irresponsible occupations of private life, for the enjoyment of an affectionate intercourse with you, my neighbors and friends, and the endearments of family love, which nature has given us all as the sweetener of every hour. For these, I gladly lay down the distressing burthen of power, and seek, with my fellow-citizens, repose and safety under the watchful cares, the labors and exertions of younger and abler minds. The anxieties you express to administer to my happiness, do of themselves confer that happiness: and the measure will be complete, if my endeavors to fulfil my duties in the several public stations to which I have been called, have obtained for me the approbation of my country. The part which I have acted on the theatre of public life, has been before them; and to their sentence I submit it: but the testimony of my native county, of the individuals who have known me, in private life, to my conduct in its various duties and relations, is the more grateful, as proceeding from eye witnesses and observers, from tryers of the vicinity. Of you, then, my neighbors, I may ask in the face of the
world, "whose ox have I taken, of whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or of whose hands have I received a bribe to blind my eyes therewith?" On your verdict I rest with conscious security. Your wishes for my happiness are received with just sensibility, and I offer sincere prayers for your own welfare and prosperity.
TH: JEFFERSON.
April 3d, 1809.
NOTE.
With whom I was raised. The Virginians laugh much at the Yankees for saying I guess. To raise a man or woman in Virginia, means to bring them up, to educate them, but more particularly, to give them their food in early life.
FOREIGN.
(VIA PHILADELPHIA.)
By the ship Recovery, captain Thomas Jefferson, from Liverpool, we have the following:
LONDON, March 17.
By the Contest gun-brig arrived at Plymouth, a letter has been received from on board his Majesty's ship Adonis, convoy to the fleet which left Oporto on the 23d ult. dated 2d instant, in lat. 44, long. 11. The Contest gave them the intelligence of a French fleet being at sea, but the commodore said, he thought they were not in danger of meeting them. The Contest left Sir John Duckworth off Cape Finisterre, he meant to proceed to Cadiz.
Down to the 22d ult. the French had not entered Oporto or even been heard of. The surf continues so high on the bar, that no vessel could pass either inward or outward, nor had done so for the last two months.
March 18.
Ad. Lord Gambier arrived off Rochfort, on the 7th instant, with the Caledonia, Tonnant, Illustrious, Belona, and several frigates and sloops. On the day following the Resolution joined company. The line of battle ship which was driven on shore, is lying on the shoal with all her masts gone; and there is not the least probability of getting her off. One of the frigates that went on shore is got off, and is refitting.—The French frigates L'Italienne, La Calypso, and Le Furieuse, are totally destroyed.
The Defiance & Valiant, from off Rochfort, are arrived at Plymouth. On the 9th instant they were boarded by an American brig from Bourdeaux, bound to England, who informed them that she sailed from Bourdeaux on the evening of the 8th instant, and it was confidently stated then, that Austria had declared WAR against France, and that for several days part of the Imperial guards had marched through Bourdeaux on their way to the North.
The House of Commons came to two more decisions last night, upon the subject of the charges against the Duke of York. The Chancellor of the Exchequer wished to substitute another resolution for the one of which he had originally given notice—It was opposed by Mr. Tiernay, who suggested his intention of moving an amendment upon it. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, withdrew his new resolution, and proposed the resolution (his second resolution) which he had stated to the house on the first day of the discussion of the evidence—It was in substance that there is no ground for charging his Royal Highness with personal corruption or connivance. Sir Thomas Turton moved an amendment, declaring it to be the opinion of the House, that the Duke must have been aware of those abuses, of which evidence had been given at the bar of the House.—There was much impatience for the question throughout the whole debate, which lasted till five o'clock this morning.
The first division was on Sir T. Turton's amendment, which was rejected by a majority of 199.
The second division was on Mr. Percival's second resolution of acquitting the Duke of personal corruption or connivance. The resolution was carried by a majority of 82. The number of members who divided on this second resolution was greater than that which divided on Sir Thomas Turton's amendment. Of 474 members present, 196 divided against the resolution of acquittal—a proportion less than 3 to 2.—The discussion however, is not yet finished—Mr. Bragge Barthurst moves his resolution on Monday, which is in substance "that the House had observed with the deepest regret that there had existed a connection the most immoral and unbecoming; and that it had given rise to an interference in official matters, which had a tendency to give the color of authority to transactions the most criminal."
GREENOCK, March 17.
The foreign papers make a war between Austria and France inevitable. The Archduke Charles is appointed sole dictator of military operations. The Dutch council of state has remonstrated against involving Holland in a new war.
London correspondent, after mentioning the raising of the 24 hours embargo in Sweden, adds, the Sublime Porte will immediately join Austria in a war against France.
PLYMOUTH, March 15.
By the Constant gun-brig, lieut. Gregory, which came in from vice-admiral sir J. Duckworth, whom she left ten days ago, off Cape Finisterre, and was then going to proceed for Cadiz, is learnt, that she too saw and kept company with the French squadron of four sail of the line and a frigate, from the port of L'Orient, several days, and went in search of vice-admiral sir J. Duckworth, to whom she imparted the circumstance; but sir J. Duckworth thought it more advisable to proceed to Lisbon and Cadiz, where he might be more wanted, than run a wild-goose chase after this small squadron. The Contest was despatched for Plymouth with this intelligence, which was conveyed yesterday to the admiralty by the telegraphic dispatch.
PARIS, March 12.
We are assured that his Imperial Majesty has bestowed the government general of the departments of Tuscany on her imperial highness princess Eliza, sister of the Emperor, and princess of Lucca and Piombino, with the title of grand duchess. Her husband, prince Felix, of Lucca and Piombino, is general of division, and commands the troops in Tuscany.
By a decree of the 3d inst. the Emperor has also created the eldest son of the king of Holland, Napoleon Louis, grand duke of Berg and Cleves.
Letters from Bayonne of the 7th instant, announce the death of Palafox, which took place in Saragossa at the beginning of this month.
The French ambassador in Constantinople, as well as all the ambassadors of the powers allied with France, are said to have presented to the divan, very strong remonstrances against the peace concluded with England, and positively declared, that unless the Porte immediately relinquished her connection with England, they would all leave Constantinople.
AUGSBURG, March 1.
The two first divisions of the grand corps, commanded by gen. Oudinot, have already proceeded on their march to their ulterior destination. They are probably destined to take post on the Inn.
LOWER ELBE, March 6.
According to intelligence from Sweden, the king has forbidden the introduction of English newspapers into his dominions, not on account of any hostile disposition towards England, but because some of the English newspapers express themselves in a style concerning Swedish affairs, which the king fears may produce unpleasant effects upon the minds of his subjects.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 25.
The English envoy, Mr. Adair, has been prevented by contrary winds, from making his formal entry into the capital.
Nothing is yet known of the negotiations with Russia.
The French charge d'affaires sends frequent couriers to his court.
Between the Austrian internuncios and the French, Dutch, and Saxon ambassadors, very serious disputes have arisen; so that the envoys of these four powers have broken off all intercourse with the internuncios.
BOSTON May 27.
On Saturday evening arrived at this port, the British ship Dykes, capt. Hutchinson, 40 days from Liverpool, bringing London papers to March 18.
The subjoined extracts embrace the principal intelligence they contain on general subjects. No positive information had reached England of hostilities having actually taken place between Austria & France; although the papers contain new and reiterated assurances, that the event must take place, and that the declaration of war and proclamation to the armies, were ready for publication. This great and unexpected rupture is presumed to have arisen from the interference of Austria in bringing about a peace between England and the Sublime Porte. Russia is expected to side with Austria, or to stand aloof from either side—Sweden is resolute in the continuance of war—and the Porte has agreed to aid Austria in her struggle against France. Bonaparte had not quitted Paris; but was ex-
pected to set out for the army of Germany immediately. The French Brest fleet, still blockaded by ad. Stopford, and the army in Spain were marching into Valencia and into Portugal, in the latter of which formidable opposition would be made to their approach.
From London, March 14.
"War between Austria and France is presented as certain; I shall not, however, believe it, till I see a blow struck. Russia is also said to be changing her politics. What principally gives rise to this, is the arrival of a Russian messenger here."
LONDON, March 16.
The resistance made by Saragossa will be transmitted to posterity, as an illustrious proof of what can be achieved by men of real patriotism and invincible spirit. In a very characteristic which distinguishes a gallant and loyal people, contending for their independence and happiness of their native soil. A resistance like this from an open town, may be classed among the extraordinary events which have amazed mankind since the first revolutionary explosion in France. The loss of the inhabitants is stated at 20,000, exclusive of 17,000 prisoners and 12,000 sick and wounded. The victorious army must of course have experienced very considerable loss.
After the capture of Saragossa, the next undertakings of the French were to be the siege of Valencia and an attack upon Andalusia. King Joseph was to conduct this latter enterprize in person. A Paris paper announces, that before the end of March, the insurrection was to be entirely at an end.
Portugal is, we fear, long before this time, in the enemy's possession. All resistance in that quarter must have been fruitless, against the superior force destined to enter it.
It is now affirmed with some appearance of confidence, that Bonaparte has sent the Royal Family of Spain to South America, and that they are actually on board the squadron which lately escaped from L'Orient. This step would certainly be a master-piece of policy, if they can be prevailed on to act in subservience to the projects of Bonaparte. The presence of their lawful monarch would probably reconcile the different parties which reign in South America, and unite them under one head; but whether Bonaparte could long preserve his influence in a place which his armies cannot reach, is at least a very doubtful point. By great address and a conciliating spirit, Great Britain might succeed in establishing an ascendancy in that quarter, which might ultimately prove the most valuable of all her foreign connections.
There were reports at the house of Commons last night, that as soon as the second resolution of the chancellor of the exchequer was disposed of his royal highness would resign. We do not believe it. Besides, the chancellor hinted that after the resolution was disposed of, he meant to propose an address for continuing the duke in the command of the army.
It is rumored that the duke of York is to resign the command of the army and that the earl of Harrington is to succeed him.
The escape of the fleet which had been so long weather bound at Oporto, and which crossed the Bar on the 23d ult. is a matter of consolation, considering the menaced condition of that country. The property on board is estimated at the value of 400,000, and insurances have been done at Lloyd's to that amount. There are from 8 to 10,000 pipes of wine in the fleet.
Two British officers who escaped from France, and have arrived at Dover in an open boat, bring intelligence of Austria having declared war against France.
Capt. Dawson, the brave conqueror of the French national frigate Piedmontaise, has been promoted to the rank of post-captain, and his commission dated on the day of capture.
STOCKHOLM, March 6.
It was announced at Change publicly on Saturday last, that the treaty of commerce between England and this country had been signed, and that this place was to become a free port.
The king's intended tour has been postponed for the present.

TOASTS.
The following Toasts were drank at the Anniversary of the Arlington Sheep Shearing, one hundred gentlemen being seated under the Tent of Washington—This venerable Tent (sacred to the Revolution, to Virtue and to Patriotism) was spread in honor of an Anniversary whose objects were ever dear to the heart of its departed master—None could enter it without reverence, none beheld it without respect. That canvas which has witnessed the councils that decided the fate of a nation; that canvas which proudly shone on the fields of Monmouth and of York Town, must ever be dear to American posterity and recall to memory the primieval ages of American virtue.
The marquees were hung with laurel and the portrait of the chief suspended from the northern end. The two following toasts given by the proprietor were drank in American wine, and we trust with American sympathy:
By Mr. Custis.—Agriculture and Domestic Manufactures—Speed to the Plough and success to the Loom in the cause of our country—The American nation will be independent, prosperous and happy when she supplies her wants from her own resources, and the American citizen will proudly appear when clothed in the produce of his native soil.
By Mr. Custis.—To the memory of the American Cincinnatus—The hero of Liberty, the illustrious Farmer of Mount Vernon—A blessing will ever attend the remembrance of that exalted man, who drew his patriot sword to deliver his country and guided the plough of industry to make that country happy, whose glorious life has restored to the world the splendid instance of Roman virtue, and left to posterity the rare example of real greatness.
3d. By Gen. Mason.—The Arlington Sheep Shearing—Many happy years to its patriotic founder.
4th. By Gov. Lee.—A free, fair, and uninterrupted Commerce to the U. States.
5th. By Mr. Dulin.—The Arlington Institution—Its beneficial effects as a stimulus to the industry and ingenuity of our fair countrywomen.
6th. By Gov. Lee.—May the present prospects of Peace between America and Britain be perpetuated by mutual advantages to both countries.
Incendiary attempts are making at Philadelphia to excite the citizens against the sentence of the law upon the persons who forcibly resisted the marshal. We say incendiary, the chief justice of the state has concurred with the opinion of the judges of the United States in pronouncing the process they opposed, to be legal. Yet a recently arrived foreigner, named Binns, who prints a paper, which has supplanted the Aurora in the favor of the government of Pennsylvania, has the assurance to pretend that general Bright and his party were condemned for merely supporting the laws of the state, in contradistinction to the laws of the union. It is impossible to deny, that if there had been any plain collision or conflict of law or jurisdiction, it would have been declared by the chief justice of Pennsylvania, when Mrs. Sergeant's case was brought up by habeas corpus. Still if his decision had been supposed to be incorrect, what reason can be assigned for not trying the question before some other judge or tribunal of the state, before the money was ordered to be paid by governor Snyder. In truth this last act could not have taken place without the previous conviction of the governor of Pennsylvania, that the law of the state, in concurrence with the decision of the courts of the United States, awarded the money to Olmstead. How then can it be pretended, that resistance however originating or organized, to the process of the state courts, was not an offence, the punishment of which was essential to the existence of law and justice? At any rate no party question was implicated in it. Mr. Dallas, the democratic attorney of a democratic president, was the organ of the prosecution. Yet in his last paper, this foreigner comes forward to denounce the
circuit court, and indeed the whole body of the American Judiciary. He says:
"Hear this, ye people of America, and arouse with all your might and main, put your shoulders to the wheel of the judiciary car: if ye overset it not, in its career of usurpation and injustice, it will grind you to dust and dirt."

Extract of a letter from Washington City, dated May 2, 1809.
"Archibald Lee, esq. of this town, a staunch federalist, goes out as messenger with dispatches from our government to England. He will take the stage from this to-morrow morning for Norfolk, where he will take a swift sailing vessel and make the best of his way to England."
Extract of a letter dated Bordeaux, 18th March, to a house in New York.
"The Spanish prisoners who were taken at Saragossa are daily arriving in France. They were offered their liberty provided they took the oath to the new king Joseph. This they peremptorily refused. The siege lasted 45 days, and was the most disastrous and bloody known in the annals of history. It is presumed that the French lost between 20 and 30 000 men, and the inhabitants as many. The city is now a mere desert, and the inhabitants dying daily in great numbers in the hospital prisons. It is said of an epidemic. It is a phenomenon to have a plague in the winter season, when the mountains are covered with snow. Frost we know is death to contagion. When we recollect what took place at Jaffa, would it be presumptuous to charge this desolating malady among the Spaniards to . . . . ? Its progress is confined to them—no Frenchmen are its victims. It was an object of much consequence to put the heroic and immortal Palafox out of the way. This was accordingly accomplished a la mode Egyptienne. He took sick immediately after eating a plate of soup and died in three days. While he lived, the oppressed Spaniards had a rallying point. Amidst the general corruption and imbecility of the chiefs, he alone stood foremost in the ranks of courage, virtue and talents.
"The Spanish cause is not yet lost, for there is in the great body of the people, a deadly hatred and abhorrence of the French. Their vengeance only wants a proper direction under able and honest leaders, to purge their natal soil of its perfidious and bloody invaders. The Austrian war will relieve Spain, and by their united and vigorous efforts, assisted by the fleets and resources of England, the independence of the world may yet be secured.
"You can form no idea of the misery and distress of the wretched people of France. We are pressed down to the earth by the relentless hand of military despotism; our property, our sons and our domestics, are all in constant requisition, and torn from us to supply the never-ending and insatiable requisitions of the emperor."
We have the pleasure of communicating to the public, at the instance of gen. Turreau, the minister plenipotentiary of France, the following official document relative to a subject interesting to science and humanity. It is particularly worthy of the notice of such physicians in this country, as have written or contemplate writing, on the nature of the CROUP.
[National Intelligencer.]
[Translation.]
MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR. The minister of the interior, Compte de l'Empire, decreed on the 21st July, 1807, for the competition opened by order of his majesty the emperor and king, on the subject of the disorder known under the name of the CROUP; after having consulted the medical college at Paris—decrees as follows:
ART. 1. The time fixed on the first of January, 1809, for the competition upon the subject of the Croup, is prorogued till the 31st July in this year.
ART. 2. Those physicians who have already addressed their treatises to the minister of France, may withdraw them, if they think proper for revision. They need only note the time of sending memoirs and the motto or device with which they are prefaced or headed as a distinctive mark.
Signed. CRETET.
Paris, 17th January, 1809.
True Copy, TURREAU, Min. Plen. of France.
The following is the report of an eminent counsellor, of the decision of the Court of King's Bench in the case of the Swift, under embargo in this port. [N. Y. Gaz.]
The court gave judgment in the case on the American embargo, on Thursday last.
As they had not given any previous intimation of their intention to give judgment
on that day; and as it was the last day for delivering declarations of the last term, it so happened that I was not down in court vs. Shedd, was that when any act is done when judgment was given—But I found on enquiry, that the ground of giving judgment for the defendant in Maury by the government of any country, it is to be considered in the same light as if all the subjects of the country had individually concurred in doing the act; and as the plaintiff could not have recovered upon a policy when he had personally occasioned the loss against which he sought to be indemnified; so, neither could he recover where his government had occasioned it; for that he was identified with his government, and the consequences as to third persons were to be considered in the same point of view as if he had himself contributed to laying on the embargo.
The two other cases of Conway and Davidson vs. Forbes, and Conway and Davidson vs. Gray, which were insurances by British subjects, who were consignees of cargoes shipped by American subjects, and upon which they had accepted and paid bills drawn on account of the cargoes, depended in part upon the same general principles as that of Maury vs. Shedd; but it was contended that there was a discrimination in favor of their having a beneficial interests as consignees of the cargoes, and having paid bills upon them—But the court thought that discrimination would not bear them out; for the insurance must be considered as being substantially made on account of the owners of the cargoes, who were Americans, & that the plaintiffs should not afterwards apply a policy which was originally made for the benefit of other persons, to their own purposes, merely because they had obtained a subordinate interest in the cargoes by paying bills upon the faith of their coming into their possession and control. They said if the plaintiffs had specially insured their interest as consignees, as a distinct subject of insurance unconnected with the general ownership of the cargoes, it might have admitted of a different consideration; but that they would give no opinion upon the effect of such insurance; and that that was not the case where the insurance was general.

USEFUL PROPERTIES OF YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
THIS highly useful Machine is found by experience to excel any hitherto in use. It will wash as many cloaths (by the assistance of one person) in an hour as can be washed in a whole day, without the possibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the most delicate article, and with less than half the quantity of soap. It occupies very little more space than the common wash-tub, and with the least care will not create any slop or wet—the construction is very simple and attended with little expense. A further description of its qualities is now deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed none will purchase without examining it.
We the subscribers do hereby certify that we have found, on trial, the above named Machine to answer fully the above description. Given under our hands this 5th day of May, A. D. 1809.

RAN AWAY , from the subscribers, two Slaves, named BILLY and NELLY .—Billy is a mulatto man, and sometimes calls himself WILLIAM JORDAN AUGUSTUS —his color nearly as light and approaches that of a white man, his hair is straight and he generally wears it platted and turned up behind with a comb—his visage is remarkably thin and his cheek bones high—he has been broken up in the house and is a very good dining-room servant, is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight built, his constitution is not very strong and he is subject to indisposition—he is about 30 years of age.
NELLY is tall and rather inclined towards corpulency, a tawny color and about forty-five years of age.
They went off together as man and wife, but it is very probable Billy will attempt to pass as a white man and will endeavor to sell Nelly as his slave. The above reward will be paid for the apprehension and securing of the said Slaves, if taken up on the north side of the river Potomac, and information given thereof to their respective proprietors. A reasonable reward will be given if taken within the state of Virginia, and reasonable charges will be paid if brought home.

JUST RECEIVED, FOR SALE ONLY BY James Kennedy, Jen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, The following highly valuable MEDICINE Price 3 dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S NATURE'S RESTORATIVE, A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasures, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma, and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have coplaned every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published) have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning, and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common-laced 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 these 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 and 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 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 who in 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 Calcutta. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.
