CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18.
Debate on the resolution offered by Mr. Broom to make further provision by law to secure the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus to persons in custody under or by colour of the authority of the U. States.
(Mr. Broom's speech continued.)
Yet, however important these rights may be, a few moments reflection will satisfy us that without the writ of habeas corpus they could avail but little. The rights may exist as abstract rights, but the writ of habeas corpus affords the most important, it not the only means of exercising them. In vain does the law proclaim that no man shall be imprisoned contrary to law, if the party imprisoned has no access to a tribunal to decide the question of legality. In vain does the law promise a trial by peers, if the party imprisoned can have no access to a tribunal where he may demand such trial. In short, without the writ of habeas corpus, rights of personal liberty, however solemnly proclaimed, would exist but in name. This writ of habeas corpus is coeval with the rights which it secures. It existed by the force of common law until the subtleties of lawyers had nearly refined it away when it was aided by the statute of Charles, and has since been found fully adequate to produce the desired effect. If then, this privilege of the writ of habeas corpus has been productive of the most salutary effects in England, in guarding the liberty of the subject, we have the strongest proof which we can require of its importance to us, except our own experience. It is true we live under a form of government where the sovereignty is acknowledged to belong to the people; but let us not vainly imagine that we have no necessity for laws restrictive upon men in power. Under the fair semblance of republicanism, has often been practised the most detestable tyranny, and the mild laws of a republic have too often afforded a shelter for knaves and tyrants instead of a shield for the virtuous and oppressed. I ask then of this house to hedge round this valuable privilege of the writ of habeas corpus with efficient laws. I beg them to profit by the experience of others and grow wise in time. Let it not be said that we are less jealous of our personal liberty than the people of England, or that the important privilege which guards it is less dear to us, because we have not like them waded through blood to maintain it. Let us with the constitution, acknowledge the importance and sanctity of the privilege and proceed without delay to fortify it with penal statutes. The warnings which we have lately received call loudly on us to guard it more effectually in future. It has been too generally our misfortune to wait until offences have been committed before we have provided a punishment; but when such offences have been committed, the public attention has been awakened and laws have been made to guard against them in future. The violations of our constitutional privileges at New Orleans have shown clearly the insufficiency of existing laws and the imperious necessity of providing the remedy. If we will not be roused from our slumbers by the experience which we have had I shall despair that we will ever be awakened to any sensibility of our personal rights—for let it be remembered that these abuses are not of an ordinary character; they have been committed by a military officer at the head of the army of the United States, and in the full view of the highest authorities of the union. The civil authority at New Orleans has been trampled under foot and the commander of the army in the plenitude of his power avows his disobedience to laws and constitution, and takes on himself all the responsibility of the violation of our constitutional rights of personal liberty. Lost in amazement at this bold and unprecedented stretch of power we can scarcely be sensible of its extent unless we contrast it deliberately with the constitution. The constitution declares that no warrant shall issue but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation. That no citizen shall be deprived of his liberty without due process of law, and that the accused shall enjoy the right of a speedy trial by a jury of the district where the offence was committed; yet in defiance of all these constitutional provisions, our citizens have been arrested without any warrant and without any process of law whatsoever, deprived of their liberty, confined in military prisons and transported under military guards two thousand miles from
the place where the offence was committed. The constitutional privilege of the writ of habeas corpus which is to secure these rights to the citizen, has been treated with contempt, and a military officer vauntingly takes upon himself all the responsibility of wilful disobedience to the writ. For all these violations we are to be told that the conspiracy which existed in that country will afford a sufficient justification. With respect to the conspiracy, whatever might have been its contemplated extent, we have reason to believe that it is now at an end, and without determining whether the aspect which it had at New Orleans was really alarming to the general, or whether any circumstances do exist which may palliate his conduct, this much we all know, that his power was employed in the arbitrary violation of the rights of the citizen, and that the conspiracy, is to furnish the justification. Such conduct, and even such a justification I look upon with abhorrence and dread; for if upon every alarm of conspiracy our rights of personal liberty are to be entrusted to the keeping of a military commander, we may prepare to take our leave of them forever. For my own part I wish to live under a government of laws and not of men, for however pure and upright be the intention of our military commanders, however virtuous and even unsuspected be their conduct, I can never agree that my right to personal liberty shall depend on their forbearance and discretion. I know not whether these men that have been arrested are innocent or guilty of the treason with which they are charged, but whether innocent or guilty they must be arrested and tried according to law. However atrocious the crime which has been committed the punishment must be according to law; for in transgressing the limits of the law to revenge upon a criminal the wrongs of society we are guilty of injustice both to society and the criminal. The manner and circumstances attending these arrests have been of the most uncommon kind.—It is said that all intercourse between one of the prisoners and his family and friends was cut off, and that not a soul except military men were suffered to approach him. That after being detained under close military confinement for nearly two weeks he was transported by the way of Baltimore to this city, and that upon his arrival here he was informed that there was no evidence to support any charge against him whatever. But whether this man or the others who have been arrested, are guilty or not, it can have no influence upon our deliberations at this time; for if even these violations now affect only the guilty, they may, at the discretion of the military officer, be extended to the innocent.
It is enough for us to know that rights of personal liberty guaranteed by the constitution, have been openly violated in the person of a citizen of the United States, and that no laws exist sufficiently effectual to prevent or to punish such violations. It then becomes our duty as faithful guardians of the public rights, to interpose our authority, in order to preserve them.—But if we content ourselves with tamely looking on, while our best rights are trampled upon, we become partakers of the guilt by the encouragement which we give the offenders. For these violations what remedy has the most innocent individual against the officer who arrested and transported him, as the laws of the U.S. have provided none, his remedy is at common law. He must sue for false imprisonment, and it depends entirely on the jury to say whether they will give him anything or nothing. Can a punishment so uncertain prevent the offence, or will a remedy so precarious always remunerate the injured? But if to this we add exemplary penalties, we have surely an additional security that the laws will be obeyed. The laws are not and in my opinion will not be sufficient unless they punish in the most prompt and exemplary manner all judges who refuse to grant the writ of habeas corpus and all officers who refuse to obey it. For such offences ruin ought to stare a man in the face, and when he has so seriously abused his power he ought to be stripped of it forever. But if we have no laws to guard us against these abuses, and are unwilling to make any, we take upon ourselves all the responsibility of future violations.
I wish and propose to entrench our privileges with the most vigorous laws, such as will suffer no man to violate them with impunity. There is no citizen of the United States however abject his condition in society, in whose person the constitutional rights of personal liberty are not sacred; and however exalted the situation of the person who tramples upon them, or however plausible the pretence, the punishment ought to be prompt, certain, and exemplary. Dangerous indeed will be the situation of our country, if every alarm of
conspiracy is to be followed with the seizure and transportation of our citizens, at the will of a military commander, and in defiance of the civil authority. If such a doctrine be looked upon not only without abhorrence but even with approbation, how easy will be the transition from lawful to lawless power.—Leaving the examples of antient times, where the rumors of conspiracies have raised in an instant the body guards of tyrants, we have seen in modern France the cry of conspiracy made the signal of massacre, or the pretext for some violent usurpation of power.
I do not pretend to say that this conspiracy has been fomented or permitted from any sinister views. It is enough to point out the danger to be apprehended from suffering this dark and dangerous machine of conspiracy, to be any apology for the violation of all the most solemn constitutional rights of personal liberty. Having witnessed the defects of our laws and the dangerous abuses of our most valuable privileges, let us proceed to provide the remedies. Rights so important cannot be too strongly guarded, and violations so serious cannot be too strictly prohibited.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
(VIA NEW-YORK.)
TREATY OF PEACE,
Between his majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, and his serene highness the Elector of Saxony.
HIS Majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, protector of the confederation of the Rhine; and his serene highness the elector of Saxony, anxious to provide for the final re-establishment of peace between their states, have named for their respective plenipotentiaries to wit, his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, the general of division Michael Duroc, grand marshal of the palace, &c &c, and his serene electoral highness the elector of Saxony, count Charles de Bose, his principal chamberlain &c. &c, who after having exchanged their full powers, have agreed to the following articles:—
ART. 1. From the day of the signing of the treaty, there shall be peace and perfect friendship between the emperor of the French, king of Italy, and protector of the confederation of the Rhine, on the one part and his serene electoral highness the elector of Saxony on the other.
2. His electoral highness accedes to the treaty of confederation and alliance, concluded at Paris on the 12th of July, in the present year; and by the same accession he succeeds to all the privileges and obligations of the alliance, in the same way as if he were a principal contracting party to the said treaty.
3. His electoral highness will assume the title of king, and take his place in the College in the rank of kings, according to the order of his introduction.
4. He cannot without the previous consent of the confederation of the Rhine, in any case or for any cause whatever, allow a passage through the kingdom of Saxony to any army, or corps or detachment of troops, appertaining to a power not a party to the said confederation.
5. The laws and ordinances which define the several rights or various forms of worship established in Germany, having been abolished by the effect of the dissolution of the ancient Germanic body, and moreover not being compatible with the principle upon which the confederation has been formed, the exercise of the catholic worship shall throughout the whole kingdom of Saxony, be fully annihilated to the exercise of the Lutheran worship, & the followers of the two religions shall without restriction, enjoy the same civil and political rights. This object is a particular condition with his majesty the emperor and king.
6. His majesty the emperor of the French undertakes that by the future treaty of Peace with Prussia, the Cothuffer Kreis, or Circle of Cothus, shall be ceded to his majesty the king of Saxony.
6. His majesty the king of Saxony cedes to such prince as shall be named by his majesty the emperor of the French and in that part of Thuringia situated between the principalities of Eichfeld and Erfurt, a territory equal in revenue and population to the Circle of Cothus, which territory serving as a point of union between the said prince, in full and entire sovereignty. The limits of this territory shall be fixed by commissaries appointed for that purpose, immediately after the exchange of ratifications.
8. The contingent of the kingdom of Saxony, in case of war shall consist in the whole of 20,000 men.
9. During the present campaign, considering what has happened, the contin-
gent of the kingdom of Saxony shall be 1500 cavalry, 4,200 infantry, 300 artillery, and 12 pieces of cannon.
10. No contributions shall be levied after the signing the present treaty.
11. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratification exchanged at Dresden, in the course of eight days.

Constantinople, Nov. 25.
The attack made by Russia upon the independence of our empire, seems to have been pre-concerted with England. At the moment when things had come to such a pitch as to leave no alternative between resistance or subjection, an English squadron has made itself master of our passes by sea. The news that admiral Lewis has arrived near the Dardanelles is confirmed; he has with him seven ships of war; and, on the 20th, the Endymion frigate, capt. Keppel, belonging to that squadron, arrived in this port.
These repeated attacks from without are the more unfortunate for our court, which has still to struggle with the refractory within, and the unfaithfulness of its principal officers. The Captain Pacha exhibits a recent proof of the latter: he has been arrested since his return from Egypt, and Caled Effendi is appointed to succeed him.
From the frontiers we learn, though as yet it is not confirmed, that the fortress of Choczim is actually in the hands of the Russians, and that negotiations have commenced for the surrender of Bender.
Denmark, December 24.
Our court seems to carry on the war like preparations on the sea coast with vigor. Besides the strait which divides Zealand and Sweden, known by the name of the Sound, the second passage into the Baltic, between the island of Zealand and Fionie, and commonly called the Great Belt, is to be fortified also. All along the coast, not only the batteries of Kronenberg are furnished with heavier cannon, but every point upon the Great Belt and the neighboring islands, is likewise strengthened. Even a small island, nearly in the middle of the Belt has been provided with very heavy artillery. All these measures, connected with the return of our troops from Holstein, make it appear evident what part our government means to take in the great contest between the interests of the continent and Great Britain. These measures will exactly answer the purpose of the French emperor, especially as the Danish government intends to establish a cordon of custom-house officers all along the coast of Denmark, from the mouth of the Traave to Hamburg, to prevent the transit of English goods. In other respects, the ice will for a long time prevent any communication between the Baltic and the North Sea.
Vienna, Dec. 20.
M. Montesquieu, an aid-de-camp belonging to the emperor Napoleon, has arrived here. The object of his mission is not known, but it is naturally supposed to be of importance. We are also assured, that on the part of the emperor of Austria, general Vincent has been dispatched upon some weighty affair to the emperor Napoleon's head quarters. The prince of Wurtemberg, the governor of this capital, is very shortly to leave the Austrian service; this is probably in conformity to the conditions of the Rhenish confederation. The prince of Lichtenstein is to be his successor.
Basle, Dec. 17.
The town of Nyon has been for some time past attacked with an epidemical disorder, which has some of the symptoms of a bilious fever. However, the alarm of the public on this occasion has in some measure subsided, as most of the inhabitants has recovered, or are in a convalescent state.
Berlin, Dec. 26.
The Petersburg Courant of the 26th of November, contains an account of the late military operations, from the commencement of hostilities on the 9th Oct. The affair at Saalfeld, the battles of Halle and Jena, the entry of the French into Berlin, and the capitulation of prince Hohenlohe, are all summed up in a few words. As the Russians cannot entirely conceal these disasters, they endeavor to disguise them as much as possible. However, we know that the king of Prussia, when he was at Graudentz, had scarcely 30,000 men with him. What appears the most curious is,

at the same Petersburg Courant concludes its recital with these words, "All the Prussians wish for the continuance of the war." Indeed! Then it is the Prussians of St. Petersburg, not those of Berlin.
Frankfort, Dec. 20.
Within a few days past more detachments of French troops have arrived here, on their route to the grand army. A battalion of Italian troops came with the last division.
Munich, Dec. 25.
Several fresh detachments of Bavarian troops have set out on the march towards Silesia, within these few days past—their number with the grand army will be increased to 30 000. We have the pleasure of knowing that prince Jerome never ceases speaking well of the behavior and firmness of the Bavarians. It is said that, in one of the Prince's reports, he confesses the cavalry have exceeded his expectations, and that he was happy in having the command of them.
Flushing, Jan. 1.
In consequence of the well known decree, the smuggling trade for gin between this port and England will be stopped.—The French general Monnet is preparing to leave this place, for the benefit of his health.
Naples, Dec. 10.
Since the failure of the two last attempts made by the English, they seem to have given up their objects in this kingdom.—Even in Calabria their landing was heard without producing any emotion. According to the latest accounts from marshal Massena, his head-quarters were still at Monteleone. We have now very few examples of the robberies and murders that used to disgrace the country. The last affair of this kind happened between Fondi and Itri, where the young French colonel Bruyeres was murdered. The perpetrators have been taken and sentenced to death. Our national guards are to be put on a better footing, for the safety of the interior. They are to consist of all persons capable of bearing arms. From Sicily we learn, that a difference between the ci-devant court and the English seems to prevail. Acton is removed from the ministry, and marquis Cirillo appointed in his place. The English shipping about Sicily are much decreased in number. In the road of Palermo there are only one ship of the line, a cutter and a brig, besides another ship of the line in the port. The court and the inhabitants are even less cordial, and between the court and its dependents the difference is greater still.
Our government at Naples gains more and more upon the affections of the people.—This is promoted by the many excellent institutions established among us.
Petersburg, Dec. 20.
We have received intelligence of fresh advantages obtained by our government in Asia. Upon the approach of a corps of troops under general Bulgakow, both the Gussian towns of Kuba and Baku submitted, and have taken the oath of fidelity to our emperor. By this acquisition the Russians are now masters of the whole of Dergestan along the river Ker.
Berlin, Dec. 25.
If the last intelligence from Aulam may be credited, marshal Mortier has transmitted some very friendly proposals to general Von Essen, governor of Stralsund, and which were transmitted by the governor to his Swedish majesty.
Dec. 24.
The French troops that have advanced from Colberg towards Dantzig have taken post at Lupow and Lauenburg. From the neighborhood of Thorn they have also advanced to Shoneck and Derschau, and spread from Elbing to Orisberg and Muhlhausen. The garrison of Dantzig consists of upwards of 8000 men; that of Konigsberg is reckoned at 9000. It is said here, that the Prussians who have joined the Russian army in Poland do not exceed three regiments of dragoons and hussars. The Prussian cuirassiers and a few infantry found at Warsaw afterwards joined the Russians under general Beningsen. The commandant of Breslau, it is said, has expressed his determination not to surrender. The king of Prussia has ordered the names of several of his officers who have disgraced themselves to be fixed upon the public gallows. And lastly, the Swedish colonel Morian, taken prisoner by the French, with the Swedish troops at Lubeck, has been arrested at Swalsund, tried by a court martial, found
guilty, and sentenced to death. This sentence, it is said, has been already confirmed by the king of Sweden.
PROCLAMATION
Of general Loison to the Inhabitants of the county of Lingen, in Westphalia.
"With arms in your hands, you expect a mitigation of the contribution laid upon your country. By the sounding of the tocsin, you solicit the favor of your governor!
"Inhabitants of Lingen! severe shall be the punishment of your insurrection. The faithful part of your community shall have a third of the contribution remitted, and their share shall be paid by you. The authors and movers of this insurrection shall be taken and delivered up to a military tribunal, and punished with death.—The principal inhabitants shall, till the payment of the contribution is complete, be sent to and remain prisoners in France; and if it be not paid before the 10th of January, their property shall be seized and sold. Also, if the seditious assemblages are not dissolved before any troops arrive in your country, and those troops experience the least opposition, I will order the inhabitants to be cut in pieces, and their houses and property to be burnt.
"You have to impute your misfortunes only to yourselves. All persons belonging to the ancient governments in the conquered countries must be responsible for any disturbances which may occur in their districts. You may command the assistance of the military; and as good citizens, assist in the preservation of tranquility. In case of refusal of obedience to orders issued by my authority, information must be given of the persons so offending; and they shall be brought before the military tribunals, treated as rebels, and punished with death."

In another copy of general Loison's proclamation, it is added, "That all the citizens and burghers in Munster, Mark, Osnaburg, Pecklenburg, and Lingen, shall be disarmed; after which, arms of any sort being found upon them, they shall be punished with death."

From the Baltimore American.
Captain Hart, of the Comet, says it was reported at New Orleans at the time he left there, that Burr had been taken under the proclamation of governor Williams, and that it was understood he would be sent round in a vessel that had been purchased by the government. But as captain Hart was on board his vessel and on the point of sailing, when the report reached him, he had no means of ascertaining the correctness of it.
The foregoing is corroborated by the following article:—
New Orleans, Feb. 12.
It is this morning reported, and we believe the report to be true, that col. Burr is now confined in one of the U. S. armed vessels before Natchez.
We are happy to announce the arrival in London of lord viscount Valentia, on his return from India, by the way of Suez with his secretary Mr. Salt, after nearly 5 years absence from England in various parts of India; his lordship made several months stay in the Red Sea, and the adjacent coasts; and he made some valuable charts of those different places. Mr. Salt, his lordship's secretary, made an excursion into Abyssinia with major Aundh as far as the capital Gondar. The public will be exceedingly gratified by much valuable information, collected by his lordship during this long, laborious and laudable research. A young Abyssinian prince is in his suite, who is a near relation of Negade Ra Mahomet, one of the principal officers of state, so often mentioned by that celebrated traveller Bruce, as being his friend. This young prince appears possessed of great natural endowments, and anxious to become acquainted with the manners and customs of Great Britain.
We are happy once more to contradict the report of the death of Mungo Park, who was said to have fallen a victim in the interior of Africa. Accounts were received of him about the middle of the present month, which stated his arrival at Tombuctoo, and that he is now on his return. It is to be feared that he will encounter great difficulties in his journey, as he has to tow his boat all the way back a-

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
Latest from Europe.
The schooner Perseverance , capt. Meservey, arrived at Marblehead on Friday, the 6th instant in 39 days from Bordeaux. He has brought papers to the 21st of January.
The French have at length measured swords with the Russians and gained a victory.
Captain Messervey confirms the account of a dreadful malady having appeared in the French armies, and of its having been very destructive. He reports also that the emperor had returned to Paris before he sailed.
45th Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Pultusk, Dec. 30.
The battle of Czernowo, that of Nasielsk, that of Kosolomb, the affair of cavalry at Lopczyn, have been followed by the battles of Golymin and Pultusk, and the entire and precipitate retreat of the Russian armies has terminated both the year and the campaign.
BATTLE OF PULTUSK.
Marshal Lannes could not arrive opposite Pultusk before the morning of the 26th. All the corps of Beningsen were concentrated in the night. The Russian division which had been beat at Nasielsk, and pursued by the third division, commanded by marshal Davoust, entered the camp of Pultusk two hours after midnight. At ten o'clock marshal Lannes attacked, having Suchet's division in the first line, that of Gaza in the second, and that of Gudin in the third division of the army commanded by general Diriana, upon his left.
The combat was spirited. After a few struggles the enemy was overpowered.—The 17th regiment of light infantry, and the 34th, covered themselves with glory. Gen. Vedel and Claparede were wounded. Gen. Treillard, commanding a brigade of the dragoons of Beker, col. Barthelemy, of the 15th regiment of dragoons were wounded by grape shot. Voisin, aid to marshal Lannes and Curial, aid to gen. Suchet, both fell with glory.
Marshal Lannes was slightly touched with a ball. The 5th corps of the army here exhibited what brave men are able to perform, and the immense superiority of the French infantry over that of other nations. Marshal Lannes, although he had been ten days sick, would follow his corps. The 85th regiment sustained many charges of the enemy's cavalry, with coolness and success. The enemy the same night sounded a retreat and retired to Ostrodenka.
BATTLE OF GOLYMIN.
While the corps of Beningsen was at Pultusk and beaten there, that of Buxho Uden joined Golymin at night. The division Panin of this corps which had been attacked the evening before by the grand duke of Berg another division which had been beaten at Nasielsk arrived by different routes at the camp of Golymin.
Marshal Davoust, who pursued the enemy from Nasielsk came up with charged them and chased them from a wood near the camp of Golymin.
At the same time marshal Augereau, arriving at Golaczma, took the enemy in flank. The general of brigade, Lapine, with the 16th light infantry, carried at the point of the bayonet a village which served as a point of support to the enemy. The division of Heudelet displayed and marched for it. 3 hours afternoon the fire was hot. The grand duke of Berg executed with the greatest success many charges, in which Klier's division of dragoons distinguished themselves. Notwithstanding evening came on too soon, the combat continued till eleven at night. The enemy retreated in disorder, leaving their artillery, bag and baggage, and many dead.—All the enemy's columns retired to Ostrokerka.
General Fenerolle, commanding a brigade of dragoons was killed. The intrepid general Knap, the emperor's aid de camp was wounded at the head of a division of dragoons. Colonel Smilie, of the brave 24th of the line, was wounded, marshal Augereau had a horse killed under him.
Nevertheless marshal Soult, with his corps, had already arrived at Malari, two leagues from Makuw; but the badness of the roads, from the rains and thaws, retarded his march and saved the Russian
army, of which, without this accident, not a man would have escaped. The good fortune of the army of Beningsen and that of Buxho Uden should have terminated on the other side of the Oksy; but all the intended movements were defeated by the thaws, which caused the artillery to be two days in making three leagues.
Altogether, the Russians have lost 30 pieces of cannon, all their waggons, more than 1200 baggage carriages, 12,000 men killed, wounded, or made prisoners. The movements of the French and Russian columns will be an object of curiosity for military men, when they are traced upon the map. They will then see upon how slender a thread hung the capture or annihilation of this army, and all the effect of a single fault committed by the Russian general.
We have lost 800 men killed, and have had 2000 wounded. At length, finding himself master of the enemy's artillery, and all their positions, and having driven them more than forty leagues, the emperor has ordered his army into winter quarters.
Before this expedition the Russian officers declared that they had 150 000 men—Now they do not pretend to reckon half that number. Shall we believe their report before or after it?
The MAGISTRATES of this County are informed, that it will be necessary for them to qualify under a commission lately issued, previous to their transacting any further official acts.

Richard Lee & Son,
SENSIBLE of the many favors conferred on them by an enlightened community beg permission to return them their sincere acknowledgments, and solicit them for a continuance of the same.
As all the efforts of Hannah Lee and her colleagues to ruin our characters and injure the reputation of our medicines, have proved abortive, we should think it degrading to ourselves and insulting to the public to pursue the contest into which we have been reluctantly dragged. Here we will drop the subject, leave her to enjoy the consolation her vapid Billingsgate language in her last advertisement is capable of affording, and simply ask those who may have occasion to purchase medicines of the following description, to give ours a trial, under a full confidence that every new trial will corroborate the long established public opinion of their being genuine.
THE FOLLOWING MEDICINES SOLD BY NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his China, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Messrs. Rickett's and Newton's. Each article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
Richard Lee and Son, Without which none are genuine.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without 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.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days. JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, head-ache, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozenges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hundreds of them was alive for some time after. JOHN KENNEDY, Potter-street. Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious & Malignant Fevers, is recommended Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, The high opinion I have of your Bilious Pills, and a desire to make known their utility for the benefit of mankind, I wish you to publish the following: For two months past, I have been afflicted with a violent sickness at the stomach, an inclination to vomit, and loss of appetite—by taking two doses of your pills, I am restored to a perfect state of health—which induced my wife to try them also, which was attended with the same good effects, being now able to attend to her domestic concerns: in my opinion, this medicine is unequalled in stomach and bowel complaints, not being attended with that griping pain, common to other remedies. JOHN SCOTT, Delaney-street, near Columbia Garden.
LEE'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrh's asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions.

Infalible Ague and Fever Drops, For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent Fevers.
Lee's genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago,
dumbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c.
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever.
