CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, December 13.
DEBATE
Mr. Gold's resolution calling upon the President for information.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Gerdener's Speech concluded.]
If Mr. Pinkney actually did make the proposition, it must have been from the direction of the executive, and the breach of good faith must in that case lie at their door. This was the point he wished ascertained; and it was for this very purpose the resolution had been brought forward. It was to give the executive a chance of repelling this supposition, that the information was asked for; and it appeared strange to him that the motive should have been misconceived by gentlemen on the other side of the house. It appeared from the letter of Mr. Canning in relation to the disavowal of the arrangement, (which he quoted) that a conversation had been actually held between him and Mr. Pinkney, concerning this offensive condition. This government, indeed, says that the meaning of Mr. Pinkney must have been misunderstood. Now, for the honor of the country, he wished it to be made manifest that Mr. Pinkney had been mistaken; and how Mr. Canning came to misunderstand him. It was important to the character of the executive, that this fact should be made out to the satisfaction of the whole world. It was not alone necessary that we should be convinced. He believed we were satisfied; because we were always satisfied with the fidelity and correctness of the government. But it was necessary it should appear to the whole world; to those who would only judge from the plain evidence of their senses. It should possess the means of putting down the representations of its adversary, and should neglect to employ these identical means. That they possessed this power, and would be unwilling to exercise it was incredible. The circumstance of their neglecting to do it, must have originated from an oversight; and gentlemen would be doing injustice to the executive, if they should refuse it an opportunity of putting down the statement of the adverse party. For his own part, he confessed, he wished to see whether there had been a mistake or not. He wished to see the whole subject. No question but the evidence was satisfactory to the government; and he did not doubt, if he knew it, but that it would be satisfactory to him. It was not, however, to be supposed that every one would have the same confidence in the government of this country. The president, then, would thank the house—at least he ought to thank it—and it should be taken for granted that he would do every thing he ought to do—for giving him a chance to clear up this point to the satisfaction of the world. There was unfortunately in the country, a sceptical kind of people called federalists —these people very likely, would say, there had been a mistake in relation to a material conversation; that but one part of the story had been told; that only a portion of the facts were permitted to see the light, and that government only told as much of the story as suited them! He would not give these people an opportunity of saying such things; he would, by publishing the whole of the information, silence these captious, cavilling federalists! Here was confessedly a mistake as to an important act, and he wished to give the executive a chance of righting it; of showing how the mistake originated, and throwing the blame on the adverse party. Mr. Canning had made one representation of the affair; and he wished to hear what Mr. Pinkney could say upon the subject. To be sure, should he like, if it were possible, some better testimony than that of the parties concerned; but to use a legal term, he wished to have the best evidence the nature of the case would admit. Let the house hear what Mr. Pinkney could say. He was anxious, in this dispute, to put our own government in the right. The country was in a state which might even-
tually lead to a war. Let us then, of all things take especial care, "to have our quarrel just." This resolution from the senate, might be the forerunner of a contest. The government had, in pretty strong terms, accused that of Great Britain of deception and a breach of faith. It was important to its character that the charge should be fully substantiated. This resolution was the rolling cloud that foretold the approaching storm. At this moment the strength of the country consisted in union. Let the government, then, take care to have the approbation of its own citizens. It could not go to war with a divided people. With a divided people they could not even carry thro' the embargo, that under-working system! Neither country need attempt a war without satisfying the people of the justice of its cause. If there had been no mistake in this offensive proposition, if it was actually made appear that it had come originally from our own minister, and consequently through the government, then the blame of a breach of faith would rest with the United States. On this point he wished to be completely satisfied. He pledged himself that the minority with whom he acted, and always esteemed it an honor to act, would in no event which might be tho't necessary, throw any difficulties or petty obstacles in the way of government, provided they were admitted to a view of the whole subject, and provided no information was concealed from them. Whatever might be the opinion of any executive, he wanted to see the grounds of his opinion as well as the president; and Congress had as much right to any information as he had. It was only for more convenience that the president was authorised to receive information first. But when Congress were called upon to act, then was the time that their right to the information became as strong as that of the President. This was evidently the meaning of the constitution, when it authorised Congress to obtain information, by calls upon the president. In relation to the papers now requested, he wished the correctness of the government with regard to the alledged mistake, proved to demonstration; and he should most certainly vote in favor of the resolution offered by his colleague.
Mr. Eppes said he would not at this time have risen to trouble the house, if the observations of the gentleman from N. York, did not appear calculated to give to the resolution a very different aspect from that which appeared on the face of it. The remarks of the gentleman seemed to be intended to carry to the American people and the nation the idea that the only ground of difference now existing between the United States and G. Britain depended—on what? on perhaps the least important point of collision which existed; to wit:—a tender of the British navy to enforce the laws of the United States; thereby insinuating that the government of this country was not able to enforce its own laws—an insinuation which had been frequently made upon the floor of the house. This was perhaps the most petty consideration of all the circumstances disclosed by the documents which had been laid before congress, and was but a mere drop of water in the ocean, compared with the immense field of British enormities, duplicity and deceit. Look at the official note of the secretary of state, in which are recounted the grounds on which our affairs now rest. A new minister arrives here, after the arrangement entered into and faithfully carried into execution on our part, is disavowed, and tenders no explanation as to the motives of such disavowal. This was admitted; and when the affair of the Chesapeake is mentioned, he was not authorised by his instructions to make any proposition in regard to it, but such as had been previously rejected here, and such as the British government knew must be rejected with scorn by the United States. When Mr. Rose was sent over to atone for the outrage, the first step taken by him was to insist as an absolute preliminary to any negotiation upon this affair on the withdrawing and annulling a proclamation which had been issued for the purpose of preventing the recurrence of similar events. And what is the proposition made by Mr. Jackson, in relation to the subject after the proclamation had been actually abandoned? Why, that before he could do any thing he must have a formal acknowledgement of its repeal. In fact these were decisive proofs that there was no sincere desire at all on the part of the British government to settle the point, except on such terms as would be dishonorable to the U. States, & had before been rejected with indignation. Another proof of difference not noticed by the gentleman from N. York was that no proposition had been made to abandon the principle of the orders in council, which the British government declares it will always maintain. In addition to
these a third point was insisted on previous to any friendly arrangement, with an express renunciation of the colonial trade, in time of war, which was not permitted in time of peace. He had said thus much to show that it was not from the tender of Great Britain to aid us in the execution of our laws, that the present subjects of dispute originated, but because she had manifested a total want of good faith in refusing to carry into effect an arrangement formally concluded, and authorised by her; and by making offensive propositions which she knew must be rejected because they could not be honorably accepted. If one were to judge from the observations of the gentleman from New York, it would be tho't that the whole subject of dispute was contained in his statement of the proposition respecting the British navy; and he supposed the observations of the gentleman were expressly calculated to give the people a largesome idea of the ground on which the affairs of the nation now stood. As to the resolution before the house he cared very little about it. He would vote for and resolution which might be offered calling for information, if that information was such as was in the possession of the executive and could with propriety be obtained. He believed if gentleman would take the trouble to examine the documents presented at the last session, they would find the paper they had desired. But that no gentleman might have it in his power to say, that any information he might desire had been denied him, he could vote for the resolution.
Mr. Key said that whatever the representatives of the nation were called upon to act on any momentous occasion, as the present one undoubtedly was, it must be all important to the house and to the nation at large to have all the information in relation to the subject compatible with the government. He would make no observations on the question except such as related to the propriety of obtaining the information. He said it was evident the executive was possessed of information which might be useful to the house in the discussion of the question now before it, and it ought therefore to be communicated. As to the conversation, alluded to in the resolution of the gentleman from N. York, (Mr. Gold) he knew nothing of it. He did not even know whether it was proper to be communicated at all. But it would be perceived that the resolution, in this particular was worded in the most respectful manner. It only required the information with deference to the president's judgment. But he wished to see what this conversation was, and what were the views taken by Mr. Pinkney of the conference mentioned by Mr. Canning in his note to the former, of May 27, which would be found at folio 7 of the printed documents before the house. Mr. Canning says, "having had the honor to read to you, in extenso , the instructions with which Mr. Erskine was furnished." He had no where seen an account of the views taken by our minister of the instruction which had been read to him by Mr. Canning. Having had the honor of an acquaintance with Mr. Pinkney, and well knowing his high character, his great talents, and unquestioned zeal for the honor and prosperity of his country; he could not believe it possible that he would have lost a moment in communicating to his government here what were his views of the disposition of that power which he was a minister. He could never have omitted to communicate so important a conference, as that mentioned by Mr. Canning. He wished to see whether Mr. Canning had correctly stated what had passed, and in what manner Mr. Pinkney had communicated it to our government. He had confidence enough in the executive to rely upon his discretion in laying before the house such part of our minister's communication as he might think proper. If no such conference had taken place, let it appear so, and let the minister of England be charged with the misstatement; if it had taken place, it was impossible Mr. Pinkney should not have communicated it. He would say nothing as to the merits of the question from the Senate, because he did not think it pertinent to the present enquiry. But convinced as he was that important documents were in the possession of the executive, he desired when called upon to decide on a great question involving the dearest interest of our country to be in complete possession of all information on the subject. He should therefore most certainly give the resolution his vote.
Mr. Rhea said he should vote against the resolution, because it called for information irrelevant to any question before the house, and because on a subject the consideration of which appeared to him to have been precluded by the arrangement of April last, it was improper to call for any information
at all. He found by the documents laid before the house that strenuous efforts were made by Mr. Jackson to call up the discussion of the subject afresh, on the principle that the arrangement of Mr. Erskine was unauthorised & entered into by the government of the United States with a knowledge of its being so. He was against giving any color whatever to that opinion. He was never opposed to calling for necessary information, but the reason he had assigned, if there were no other, was sufficient to induce him to vote against the resolution of the gentleman from New-York. Mr. Erskine having denied ever having given his government reason to suppose, from his conversations he had with any of the members of the executive, that this government would agree to the third proposition, it seemed to be thought necessary by the British ministry to throw the blame of it on Mr. Pinkney. The very nature of the offensive proposition itself, ought to induce gentlemen to reject every motion to enquire into its origin. He would spurn the idea of enquiring what Mr. Pinkney thought of it, because it went to a point which was wholly inadmissible in itself; and he never could have proposed to any government that it should assist in executing the laws of the United States. It was just as inadmissible as if the British government had proposed to Congress to pass laws for them. Mr. Jackson had stated that arrangement was disavowed because the instructions contained in Mr. Canning's note of the 23d of January, had not been complied with; which instruction included this third proposition. And consequently this third proposition must be agreed to before any negotiation could be brought to a conclusion. But all this was entirely foreign to the concurrent resolution from the Senate, which merely respected the conduct of Mr. Jackson towards this government; and whether the government had acted properly in the manner in which it had treated him? Besides, it must evidently have been Mr. Canning who had mistaken the meaning of Mr. Pinkney in their conversation, because Mr. Pinkney could not have had any doubts on the subject of such a proposal. And what had the house to do with the mistakes of Mr. Canning? They had no intention of erecting an inquisition into the correctness or incorrectness of his ideas, and therefore needed no information on the subject of them. Our minister had been made acquainted with Mr. Erskine's instructions, on the 27th of May; and the arrangement with that gentleman was entered into in April. For that it had been carried into execution by the U. States, prior to the time at which the instructions of Mr. Erskine had been communicated to Mr. Pinkney. If Mr. Canning was at that time devising means of disavowing the arrangement, he might expect was entered into, what at that time to the United States? That arrangement was a plain matter of bargain that any one could understand, which after being carried by one party to it, into complete execution, was refused to be fulfilled by the other. Gentlemen have said that the British government had a right to get from the United States all it could, and that, if this proposition had been made by our minister, they were not to blame in accepting it. Where was the evidence that Mr. Pinkney had ever proposed or even assented to it? Such was his opinion of that gentleman, that he could not for a moment permit him to suppose that he would assent to such a proposition. It was not treating him with justice to suppose so. He concluded by remarking, that it was not for him to say whether or not war would result from the present state of things; he did not wish for war; but this consideration had nothing to do with the present resolution—against which he would vote for many reasons, some of which he had specified.
Mr. Gold had examined, he said, the documents communicated at the last session, and had found no such despatch as had been mentioned by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Eppes) and if that gentleman, whom he at all times heard with pleasure, would call to mind the state of things existing at that time, he would hardly suppose that the executive would have been justifiable, in communicating any correspondence which might have recalled any hostile sentiments between the two nations. The same cause for forbearance did not now exist. He wished information from the fountain head, from Mr. Pinkney; and he could see no good reason why the house should not have the paper. He was glad to hear the gentleman from Virginia take so wide a range upon this subject as he had so handsomely done, and that he had been followed in the same range by the gentleman last up. He considered it as a proof of the liberal spirit which would be occupied in the discussion of the resolution from the senate, and that it would not be confined to those narrow

FROM DENMARK.
In the ship Endeavor, arrived at Salem from Tonningen, came passenger captain Tyler, of Boston. He left Copenhagen the 14th of October. There had been no change favorable to American Commerce, except the laying up of the privateers; but vessels were some times brought in by the gun boats, and sometimes taken possession of in the harbors, when from England. A captain Otis had been several weeks in prison. The Horace with Mr. Adams on board, touched at Christian-sand, where he received petitions from his countrymen to interfere in their behalf; and at Copenhagen he had an interview with the minister of state; but he appeared to have no instructions on the subject, and what assurances were given are not known. The Crown Prince was at Kiel. The Americans thought that it would have had a good effect for Mr. Adams to have come out in a frigate. The Danes and Swedes, and Swedes and Russians have made peace. It was said British vessels were to be admitted to certain Swedish ports, under certain circumstances. There were still rumours that Bonaparte was indisposed.
The Bohemeaux of Salem, on entering the Elbe, had been seized by the French, but on the appearance of a British cruiser, they abandoned her, and the captain put her to sea and brought her to Tonningen.
The cargoes carried to Tonningen, are transported by land to Altona for sale. The Hamburgers procure a few articles by smuggling.
Left at Copenhagen, Oct. 14, the Aurora, Masters, of Salem, unloaded; Antelope, Hopkins of Boston, about to be released on paying 1000 dollars, and expected to proceed to Kiel; the Bysfield, Foster, of Boston had permission to sail for home with iron; the Helvetius, —, of Philad. (Boston paper.)
Extract of a letter from the country to a gentleman of Philadelphia.
You ask me what opinion I have been able to form on the correspondence between the Secretary of State and Mr. Jackson, the British minister. This is not easily answered in the compass of a short letter, considering the detached manner in which I have read it in the public prints. It is however to be remarked that the secretary, in the government paper, took care to make a justificatory appeal to the public, before he was accused; and to follow it up in the conclusion, by the publication of a copy of his letter to Mr. Pinkney, before the original was probably dispatched. I am glad you have not asked me about the correspondence with France, because I believe that according to custom, but a small part of it has been published. Our federal editors who declaim stoutly against England and say not a word against the former, ought to be put in mind of this.
I am not much versed in the business of diplomacy, but with regard to the insult which Mr. Jackson is said to have offered to Mr. Smith, in sustaining an opinion, it seems to me that they were exchanging sentiments on a footing of equality, as the representatives of independent and sovereign governments, and had therefore an equal right to maintain, in decent language, what they believed to be the truth, on their evidence of the case. Hence I cannot avoid thinking that our government took an opportunity of dismissing the minister in that abrupt manner, that was not justified by the occasion.
I will not pretend to say that Mr. Jackson did not in some part of the correspondence, take a pretty high and somewhat evasive tone; but what occasion had Mr. Smith to insist on his giving the reasons why Mr. Erskine's arrangement had been
disavowed, when he knew his government had said he had not conformed to his instructions? in which case a schoolboy must know that the government was not bound.
Waving the causes of irritation between public ministers who should not suffer themselves to be easily exasperated, I will beg leave to state the following question for the consideration of all concerned. In case from the manner in which the British minister has been dismissed, a war should be the consequence, will our government be able to justify itself to its constituents? If a war is produced by what has taken place, our blood-thirsty democrats will consider Mr. Madison as a greater man than Jefferson; but whatever may hereafter appear to be the true spirit of our government, it is confidently expected that when there is time for information and reflection it will appear that only a small portion of the American people are yet so mad, as to be disposed for a ruinous war!
I am, respectfully, yours, &c.

Mr. Findley, from the committee of elections, reported in the case of the election of Jonathan Jennings—that his election was not according to law, and was therefore void, and that the seat of Jonathan Jennings was accordingly vacant. The report was referred to a committee of the whole house on Friday next.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the resolutions from the senate, Mr. Bassett in the chair.
Mr. Gold. He insisted that Mr. Jackson had not insinuated that our government knew that Mr. Canning's despatch was the only one which Mr. Erskine had for forming the arrangement. But that he found our secretary of state had seen the three conditions, and that he (Mr. Jackson) knew those were the only conditions. And that an arrangement made under such circumstances could not but be disavowed. [It is impossible to follow Mr. Gold through all his arguments, his speech will in due time be given at length.]
Mr. Macon opposed the resolutions, because he was opposed to addressing the President at all.

Orphans' Churt, Alexandria County, Dec. Term, 1809. Ordered, that the executor of Wm. Fitzhugh of Chatham, deceased, do insert the following advertisement three times in the Alexandria Daily Gazette. Teste, Alex. Moore, Register.
This is to give Notice, That the subscriber of Alexandria county, in the district of Columbia, has obtained from the Orphans' Court of said county letters testamentary on the estate of Wm. Fitzhugh, Esquire, of Chatham, late of the county aforesaid, deceased: all persons having claims against the said deceased, are hereby warned to exhibit the same with the vouchers thereof to Alexander Moore, Register of Wills of Alexandria, on or before the 23d day of June next, or they may by law be excluded from all benefit of said estate. And those indebted thereto are requested to make immediate payment. Given under my hand this 23d day of December, 1809. Robert Randolph, Executor of Wm. Fitzhugh, of Chatham.
which seemed to be wished by the gentleman from Massachusetts. (Mr. Ba) If, as the gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Eppes) had hinted, the representations of his colleague, (Mr. Gardiner) were intended as a kind of address to the people, the present posture of affairs; there were not wanting high precedents for such procedure. He shows the letter of Mr. Smith, the Secretary of State, to our minister in London, dated Nov. 23, and contained in the printed documents, was an eminent example of such indirect representations to the people. Mr. Gold believed gentlemen would see they had arrived at a point when the whole of the correspondence relation to this odious proposition and speech, should be communicated, and he hoped as the resolution was worded in the most respectful manner that the house would agree to it.
Mr. Quincy said he would state one point of view in which the motion before the house was connected with the resolution from the senate. We are called upon to that resolution (said Mr. Q.) expressly to state, that it was the intention of Mr. Jackson to excite dissensions among the people, under false and fallacious disguises. In making up this argument, as he understood it to have been urged, one of these disguises was stated to be his representing to the people of the United States, that he had commenced an important negotiation, when in fact, he was only authorised to propose three conditions, one of which was totally inadmissible. It would be almost impossible to enter upon the examination of this subject, without taking up that condition and the circumstances under which it had been proposed; for certainly it would be a false disguise if a proposition should be stated to have originated with the American minister in London, which he never even assented to. It was important to know under what actual circumstances this proposition had been made; and what was the view taken of the condition by the American minister. He thought it improper to deny any information which gentlemen might think necessary in forming their opinions upon any important subject. [To be continued.]

Finkerton's Collection of Voy- ages and Travels, Forming a complete History of the Origin and Progress of Discovery by Sea and Land, from the most authentic Sources. THE first number of this valuable Work is just come to hand and is ready for inspection at the store of the subscriber, in King-street, and with Mr. Triplet, at the coffee-house. Fully aware of the impositions that have been practised upon the public by strangers soliciting subscriptions from distant places; the Editors invite their examination of a Work perhaps the most useful, entertaining as well as extensive in its kind that has ever been undertaken in any country. And they flatter themselves that the American will by no means shrink from a comparison with the London edition, tho' offered at six dollars per Vol. less. This number may be considered as a fair specimen of the execution of the work, and will be left a short time for examination, before the 2d number is put to press. After this the subscription will be raised to $2 25 each num- ber; and but a few more copies printed than are sufficient to supply the subscribers, that the early patrons of this valuable Work may have a decided advantage—subsequent appli- cations may therefore come too late. It is also the intention of the Editors to an- nex to the last number a complete list of the names of the subscribers, as the patrons and encouragers of useful knowledge, the arts and literature of the United States. Subscriptions are received by the subscrib- er. James Kennedy, sen. December 5. eof

TO PARENTS. The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. (Selected from a very numerous list.) ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines. From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Bal- timore street, two doors above south Gay- street. I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very un- healthy state, particularly in summer; fre- quently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhaust- ed his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other me- dicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours. I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lo- zenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentle- man of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon ex- pelled eight large worms, some of them a- bout eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms ap- peared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health. BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT. Michael Duffy, residing at No. 47, Walker street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true: In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls the one five, and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent sturgings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were ad- ministered with a confidence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolute- ly without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of ani- mation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects.— The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be con- sumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speed- ily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have near- ly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable. J. SMITH. Sworn before me, this 26th day of Septem- ber, 1799.
Philadelphia, August 5 1806. TO H. LEE. Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An ac- quaintance in the country sent to me to pro- cure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encou- raged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it delieved me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past, about the cost—convulsions, epileptic fits, and sometimes a privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometimes loth- ing food and sometimes voracious—purging with slimy and fætid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the sto- mach—pains in the head and thighs, with dizziness of spirits—slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy coun- tenance, 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. Prevention better than Cure. In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to LEE'S HAIN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS. Which for 10 years past have been attend- ed with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern seas has been induced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malign- fevers, has preserved their health after ex- periencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny. During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hain's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have render- ed medicine necessary; in these cases a sin- gle dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the ben- efit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints. Yours, WM. DEVENNY, ITCH CURED. Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, a certain cure by once using; Hamilton's Lo- zenges; Hamilton's Elixir, for Coughs; the celebrated Antibilious Pills; Hamilton's Es- sence of Mustard, for the Rheumatism, Tooth-Ache Drops; Hamilton's Grand Re- storative for Debility.

Bookseller, King-street, Alexan- dria, who has long been sole agent for the sale of the genuine preparations. As a further secu- rity against imposition, each genuine article has on its outside wrapper, the signature of Hannah Lee, Widow of the late Proprietor July 31.
