A Runaway.
ON Monday morning last, a young and likely negro man slave, named DICK, left the service of the subscriber, and is now supposed to be lurking in or about the town of Alexandria. He is about 18 or 19 years of age, copper colored, well made, and wears his hair in a queue. He took with him shoemakers' tools, with which he is a tolerable workman, and had on a short jacket made of dark colored twilled Virginia cloth and pantaloon of the same. As he went off without any sort of provocation that I know of, it is supposed he is harbored at some of the numerous tipling houses in or about the town, and perhaps kept at work to defray his expences. I will give Ten Dollars reward for his apprehension and delivery to me, or if he is secured in any jail and notice given to me—and if he is apprehended out of the county of Fairfax or district of Columbia, I will pay Ten additional Dollars.

IMPORTANT.
Since the arrival of Mr. Oakeley at Washington, Mr. Smith, Secretary of State and Mr. Erskine, the British Minister, have been, we understand, every day engaged in discussions in relation to two points of difference between the United States and Great Britain, which, it seems, Mr. Erskine has been authorised to arrange in virtue of powers received from his government by the British sloop of war, now lying at Hampton, subject to his orders.—The following Notes shew the happy result of these discussions.
(No. I.)
MR. ERSKINE TO MR. SMITH. Washington, 17th April 1809.
SIR,
I have the honor to inform you, that I have received his majesty's commands, to represent to the government of the United States, that his majesty is animated by the most sincere desire for an adjustment of the differences, which have unhappily so long prevailed between the two countries, the recapitulation of which might have a tendency to impede, if not prevent an amicable understanding.
It having been represented to his majesty's government, that the Congress of the United States, in their proceedings at the opening of the last session, had evinced an intention of passing certain laws, which would place the relations of Great Britain with the United States upon an equal footing, in all respects, I have accordingly received his majesty's commands, in the event of such laws taking place, to offer, on the part of his majesty, an honorable reparation for the aggression committed by a British naval officer, in the attack on the U. States' frigate Chesapeake.
Considering the act, passed by the Congress of the U. S. on the 1st of March, (usually termed the non-intercourse act) as having produced a state of equality, in the relation of the two belligerent powers, with respect to the U. S. I have to submit, conformably to instructions for the consideration of the American government, such terms of satisfaction and reparation as his majesty is induced to believe, will be accepted, in the same spirit of conciliation, with which they are proposed.
In addition to the prompt disavowal made to his majesty, on being apprised of the unauthorised act, committed by his naval officer, whose recall, as a mark of the king's displeasure, from an highly important and honorable command, immediately ensued, his majesty is willing to restore the men forcibly taken out of the Chesapeake, and if acceptable to the American government, to make a suitable provision for the unfortunate sufferers on that occasion.
I have the honor to be, With sentiments of the highest Respect and consideration, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, D. M. ERSKINE.
The hon. Robert Smith, Esq. Secretary of State, &c. &c. &c.
(No. II.)
Department of State, April 17, 1809.
SIR,
I have laid before the president your note, in which you have, in the name and by the order of his Britannic majesty declared that his Britannic majesty is desirous of making an honorable reparation for the aggression committed by a British naval officer in the attack on the U.S. frigate the Chesapeake; that, in addition to his prompt disavowal of the act, his majesty, as a mark of his displeasure, did immediately recall the offending officer from a highly important and honorable command; and that he is willing to restore the men forcibly taken out of the Chesapeake, and if acceptable to the American government, to make a suitable provision for the unfortunate sufferers on that occasion.
The government of the United States having, at all times, entertained a sincere desire for an adjustment of the differences, which have so long and so unhappily subsisted between the two countries, the president cannot but receive with pleasure as-
surances, that his Britannic majesty is animated by the same disposition, and that he is ready, in conformity to this disposition, to make atonement for the insult and aggression committed by one of his naval officers in the attack on the U. S. frigate the Chesapeake.
As it appears, at the same time, that, in making this offer, his Britannic majesty derives a motive from the equality, now existing, in the relations of the U. S. with the two belligerent powers, the President owes it to the occasion, and to himself, to let it be understood, that this equality is a result incident to a state of things, growing out of distinct considerations.
With this explanation, as requisite as it is frank, I am authorised to inform you that the President accepts the note delivered by you, in the name and by the order of his Britannic majesty, and will consider the same with the engagement contained therein, when fulfilled, as a satisfaction for the insult and injury of which he has complained. But I have it in express charge from the President to state, that while he forbears to insist on a further punishment of the offending officer, he is not the less sensible of the justice and utility of such an example, nor the less persuaded that it would best comport with what is due from his Britannic majesty to his own honor.
I have the honor to be, With the highest respect And consideration, sir, Your most obedient servt. R. SMITH.
The hon. David M. Erskine, esq. envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of his Britannic majesty.
(No. III.)
MR. ERSKINE TO MR. SMITH. Washington, April 18th, 1809.
SIR,
I have the honor of informing you, that his majesty, having been persuaded that the honorable reparation which he had caused to be tendered for the unauthorised attack upon the American frigate Chesapeake would be accepted by the government of the United States in the same spirit of conciliation, with which it was proposed, has instructed me to express his satisfaction, should such a happy termination of that affair take place—not only as having removed a painful cause of difference, but as affording a fair prospect of a complete and cordial understanding being re-established between the two countries.
The favorable change in the relations of his majesty with the U. S. which has been produced by the act (usually termed the non-intercourse act) passed in the last session of Congress, was also anticipated by his majesty, and has encouraged a further hope that a reconsideration of the existing differences might lead to their satisfactory adjustment.
On these grounds and expectations, I am instructed to communicate to the American government, his majesty's determination of sending to the U. S. an envoy extraordinary invested with full powers to conclude a treaty on all points of the relations between the two countries.
In the mean time, with a view to contribute to the attainment of so desirable an object; his majesty would be willing to withdraw his orders in council of January and November 1807, so far as respects the U. States, in the persuasion that the president would issue a proclamation for the renewal of the intercourse with Great Britain, and that whatever difference of opinion should arise in the interpretation of the terms of such an agreement will be removed by the proposed negotiation.
I have the honor to be with sentiments of the highest consideration and esteem, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, D. M. ERSKINE.
Hon. Robert Smith, &c. &c. &c.
(No. IV.)
MR. SMITH TO MR. ERSKINE. Department of State, April 18, 1809.
SIR,
The note, which I had the honor of receiving from you this day, I lost no time in laying before the president, who being sincerely desirous of a satisfactory adjustment of the differences unhappily existing between Great Britain and the U. S. has authorised me to assure you, that he will meet with a disposition correspondent with that of his Britannic Majesty, the determination of his majesty to send to the U. S. a special envoy invested with full powers to conclude a treaty on all the points of the relations between the two countries.
I am further authorised to assure you that in case his Britannic majesty should, in the mean time withdraw his orders in council of January and November 1807, so far as respects the U. S. the president will not fail
to issue a proclamation by virtue of the authority and for the purposes specified in the 11th section of the statute, commonly called the non-intercourse act.
I have the honor, &c. &c.

MR. ERSKINE TO MR. SMITH. Washington, April 19, 1809.
SIR,
In consequence of the acceptance, by the President, as stated in your letter dated the 18th inst. of the proposals made by me on the part of his majesty, in my letter of the same day, for the renewal of the intercourse between the respective countries, I am authorised to declare that his majesty's orders of council of January and November, 1807, will have been withdrawn as respects the U. S. on the 10th day of June next.
I have the honor to be, With great respect, And consideration, Sir,

S. I have the honor of informing you that the President will accordingly, and in pursuance of the 11th sec. of the statute, commonly called the non-intercourse act, issue a proclamation so that the trade of the U. S. with Great Britain may on the same day be renewed, in the manner provided in the said section.
I have the honor, &c. &c.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS it is provided by the 11th section of the act of Congress entitled "An act to interdict the commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France, and their dependencies; and for other purposes"—that "in case either France or Great Britain shall so revoke or modify her edicts as that they shall cease to violate the neutral commerce of the United States," the President is authorised to declare the same by proclamation, after which the trade suspended by the said act and by an act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States and the several acts supplementary thereto may be renewed with the nation so doing. And whereas the honorable David Montague Erskine, his Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, has by the order and in the name of his Sovereign declared to this government that the British orders in council of January and November, 1807, will have been withdrawn as respects the U. States, on the 10th day of June next. Now therefore I Jas. Madison, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim that the orders in council aforesaid will have been withdrawn on the said tenth of June next; after which day the trade of the United States with Great Britain, as suspended by the act of Congress above mentioned and an act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the U. S. and the several acts supplementary thereto, may be renewed.
Given under my hand and the seal of the United States, at Washington, the nineteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and nine, and of the Independence of the United States, the thirty-third.

ADDRESS
OF THE GOVERNOR OF CUBA. Dated 12th March, 1809, to the People of the Island.
[TRANSLATED FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN.]
Most faithful inhabitants of the Island of Cuba,
MY former proclamation of the 17th July and 8th of August, of last year, announced to you, all that was to be expected from Spanish heroism, as well as all that was to
be feared in the difficult contest with an impetuous and powerful enemy. In effect, our hopes, but at the same time the prospect of the enemy of the human race, have been equal to the risk which threatened him. For this reason, shutting his eyes to every other danger, he was not deterred by his exposure in the north of Europe, though at the same time he was not safe even in Russia, from entering into Spain in person with his best generals, interesting them in the business by the seductive incentive of pompous titles, and with a powerful army of his most experienced robbers and adroit assassins. And as nothing is more natural than an alternation of prosperous and adverse circumstances, after some favored actions, which are not of great magnitude according to his own bulletins, he has succeeded in penetrating Madrid, and possessing himself of that city, against the will of its loyal and brave inhabitants, through the aid of his evil arts and some apostate Spanish chiefs; but the fate of Spain is not to be considered as decided by it; which may be seen and thinking occurs only to weak and servile minds. He doubtless thought that this stroke will infuse into the province a dismay, which would deter and prevent cowards to receive the infamous yoke of his tyranny, because he found it so in operations: but through our good fortune calculations have proved vain, and he has already seen the opposite effect it has produced by inflaming more than ever their exalted patriotism, agreeably to the character of the true strength of mind and fearless patriotism, whose vigor is augmented in inverse ratio to danger. Hence it is, that through the whole Spanish hemisphere, numerous armies are forming, and the people are wholly employed in taking the most suitable measures to repel the usurper, and opposing him with the intrepid valor, which is evinced by his losses at the gates of the famous city of Saragossa, which is commanded by the glorious and incomparable Palafox, and at many other points. I will not say it would be impossible that through his power, his machinations and his unjust fortune, he should succeed in subjugating innocent, virtuous and dear country; but if it were so, it is not possible in the natural course considering the attitude in which Spain stands—Rivers of French blood must first be shed in extensive and costly campaigns. It is not probable, that oppressed, indignant, and declining France, would yield herself to support them, whilst she proceeds, at any rate, towards her final dissolution through the continuance of our war after another, and through the privation of maritime commerce, to which two calamities she does not see any other termination than that of the life of her tyrant; and it is not improbable that other nations, which are in the same situation or others resembling it, will awaken from their lethargy, in order to avail themselves of so happy a conjuncture, unless indeed Divine Providence has placed an impenetrable veil before their eyes. And what part does it become us to take under such circumstances—we who inhabit the happy regions of Spanish America? In order to resolve this problem, it will suffice to calculate our duties, our interest and our danger. Our duties are, according to the opinion of ancient and modern sages, greater, or at least equal to those of a son with respect to a father, who drew him from nothing, and gave him a natural, moral and political being; who guarded him from dangers and precipices; who directed and aided him in the acquisition of the property he possesses; and who, finding himself surrounded with afflictions and dangers, and incapable of sustaining his desolate family, implores his succor to save it, and at the same time himself, as one of its members, at the cost of his own blood and of the property acquired by the sweat of his brow. Our interest consists in preserving our country, the delightful object of rational man, our religion, the honor of our wives & daughters, our liberty & our property; in rescuing our adored FERDINAND, to whom we have solemnly sworn, and from whose government we expect every prosperity; and in avoiding the enormous infamy of disavowing objects so sacred, and duties so inviolable, degrading ourselves for ever in the eyes of God and man, and giving our dear country cause to weep even in the glorious day of her triumph, at the remembrance of such criminal ingratitude.
Finally our danger consists in this, that Spain being once subjugated, all Europe will be the same, as no one doubts; that the consequent encroach of power will give a new impulse to the ambition and avarice of the usurper, to turn his thoughts to the Americas and to facilitate new roads for his conquest; and that such an indolence and inertness on our part will dishonour the magnanimous and generous English, who

the anchor of hope to save us in this stormy commotion: we should thus consummate the work of slavery of the human race, and the profanation and extinction of our holy religion, as far as would be possible to the impious destroyer. Such and so powerful are the motives, which impel us to aid with all our might the most holy cause which we support.
I am ignorant that you and also your whole American world, are with all these considerations, and with the most liberal and heroic spirit, as is evinced by your conduct and Spanish American loyalty to become proverbial, to your own great glory as well as that of Ferdinand and the mother country. But you ought not, however, to take my part in my full exposition, which springs not from distrust, but from the necessity of opening to view the whole foundation and intensity of the danger. The hurricane, which agitates us, causes the chill to rock in their graves. The risk is great in proportion to the perseverance and power of the tyrant, and it would be improper to conceal or diminish its importance, like the timid patient, who deceives the physician and leads him into error, to the sacrifice of his own life. Vain confidence is not less ruinous than panic fear. Peradventure the very success of the first victories of our undaunted brothers have not permitted them to see all the difficulties and magnitude of the enterprize—and all the hidden rocks which they ought to avoid, in order to save the vessel, in which is embarked the illustrious and generous family of twenty-two millions of Spanish heroes. Would to God, that in the midst of them, some of the provincial Juntas and also the editors of the sublime patriotic seminary had used the most discreet and wise language of which the supreme Central Junta have availed themselves. I glory, my dear Cubans, in your generous fidelity and your heroic disposition—and I can do no less than applaud in my heart all the inhabitants of America, who dispute this glory with you.
But on considering that our triumph will be infallible, according to my view of the matter, if adequate means are not wanting for the prosecution of the war, which truth must be as clear as light, since the small corner of Calabria could not be subjugated in the course of four years, I cannot avoid exclaiming and saying, that as yet we have done but little, whilst we do not renounce the infinite number of unnecessary and unnecessary articles, which we see every where, in and out of our houses, in the religious convents, in the churches, and perhaps in the very hospitals. Far be from us that criminal and fatal apathy, which has conducted other nations to a horrible slavery, and to be the execrable instruments of their mutual desolation. Let us be discreet, and let us incessantly study the wise book of experience, that we may not give room for a late repentance, which may fill us with everlasting anguish. I promise myself, from your intelligence, patriotism and religious disposition, that my paternal exhortations may not be fruitless; but at the same time I ought to acquaint you, that after applying all possible means in favor of the mother country, or, more properly speaking, of the cause of God and man, it is of the deepest necessity, that we should also meditate upon and pursue by anticipation the most suitable precautions for the security and tranquility of this island against the artifices and designs of the usurper, not yielding ourselves up to the senseless confidence, that they are impracticable or very remote. The experience of twenty years has proved to us the possibility of many things, which, until now, had passed for visions and brain-sick fancy, and which ought to render us circumspect till the end. It ought not to be doubted, that this being the key to the Bay of Mexico, acquisition must enter into the calculations of Napoleon's capacity, whether it be of its own transcendent importance, or also an object flattering to his ambition and avaricious covetousness; and that consequently we ought to doubt as little, that he will pursue the object by all the direct and indirect methods which his genius, fruitful in malignant arts can suggest. Thus, therefore, prudence dictates imperiously, that laying out of consideration its possibility or impossibility, and bearing in mind, that from the preservation of the Americas, and their alliance with George III. and the heroic English nation, may and must result the frustration of his plans and the salvation of all Europe, even if the difficult, not to say impossible case were verified, of Spain succumbing—prudence, I say, dictates that we should prepare with the same zeal and earnestness, as if we thought it probable. The importance of the subject could not be greater; wherefore
I confide, that henceforth you will exert yourselves in whatsoever may conduce to its accomplishment, with that docility & courage, which characterise you. I think you must be well convinced, that it is better to die combatting with the probable hope of success, than to yield yourselves to a ferocious conqueror, knowing as you do to a certainty, that neither your brave and noble conduct, nor his word and his oaths, nor the faith of the most solemn capitulation can secure your property, your liberty, your wives and daughters, nor your Holy Religion; all, all will be trodden under foot and profaned as our immortal brothers have found by experience; and to crown your calamity, those who are able to bear arms, will infallibly be carried away to conquer and scatter the same ills among your pacific and happy neighbors and brothers of North America, not excepting the innocent Indians, who wander in their forests. Wherefore, that we may neither see nor commit such atrocities, let the disastrous word Capitulation be banished from our language, in conformity with which I shall die with you or the field of battle, rather than permit it to be pronounced.
It is also very possible, that to facilitate his infernal projects upon this island, he may avail himself, according to custom, of the arms of seduction and corruption, by making use of some of the French, whom, through hospitality, and for the encouragement of agriculture & the arts, I have permitted to establish themselves here, wherein I regulated myself by the same sentiments of policy, of generosity and morality which the government of the metropolis has pursued; and as some of them may be seduced by his false promises, and through a false love of country, as on the other hand few of them have given testimony of taking a true interest in our cause, and there are many who do not observe a conduct conformable with our civil and moral usages & customs: I have determined for our greater tranquility, to cause to depart herefrom all those who are not bound to us by indissoluble ties and detached from France by their known adherence to the royal family of the Bourbons, or who do not merit a good public reputation in regard of their political opinions, and of an irreproachable conduct added to a positive detestation of the French government; without its serving as an excuse that they have a fixed residence, or that they have taken an oath of fidelity to Ferdinand VII. Of all which the French whom it may concern will take notice, that they may henceforth prepare to depart, excusing the rigors of a peremptory order, and also the public, that abstaining from molesting them of their own authority, every one may apply to the territorial judicatures to inform them, with good faith and without the spirit of personality, of all those, who try to remain among us unlawfully. Wherefore for this purpose, I am making the necessary arrangements, in order that in every city and town there be formed a committee of vigilance composed of the ordinary alcaldes, of a regidor at the election of the governors and lieutenant governors in their respective districts, and in default of those of the proper town assemblies, of the syndic attorney, and of two good men elected in proper form; and as far as respects the districts, a similar junta shall be formed, composed of the captain, the parochial curate, and of four good men, to be nominated by those two and to be previously approved by the respective justices and town assemblies, to whose jurisdiction they may belong. It shall be the duties of the said committees to draw up a list of all the French, expressing their country, family, former and present profession, procedure, the time of their residence here, and the license with which they established themselves; to obtain the information of prudent, zealous and impartial persons concerning their conduct, conformably to what I have just pointed out; to determine after a mature examination and enquiry; to intimate the departure by fixing a competent term, conformably with the circumstances of every one who ought to be expelled; to remove the difficulties which prevent their departure; and to transmit to me finally through the medium of the respective courts, a copy of the said list, of the result of their information, of their examination of the difficulties announced, and of the means they accorded to surmount them. Finally I make known to you for your satisfaction and government, that I shall attend with perfect good will, to the prudent observations, measures and precautions, which may be proposed to me relative to the object of aiding the mother country, to the preparation for security and defence, and to the general tranquility; but I must also observe to you, that the basis of this good consists in all of you being penetrated with a spirit of union, of moderation, of discretion against vulgar impressions; of prudence and reflection against
panic terror, of fortitude against danger, of profound submission to the laws, and of respect to authority. These are the durable materials which form the best and most impenetrable bulwark of political society, whose existence is menaced with approaching ruin, when either of them fails, of the truth of which Europe presents the sad testimony, in the calamities which she weeps, and may which never infest our soil, by means of the virtues and the illustrious and discreet patriotism you possess.

CADIZ, Feb. 23. PROCLAMATION.
Our lord the king Don Ferdinand VII. and in his royal name, Don Felix Jones, field marshal of the royal armies, and governor pro tempore of this place, &c.
In consequence of the discontents and commotions which have taken place in this city, whose inhabitants have requested various things which they consider useful and necessary to their private and public security, and to the exercise of their liberty and of the national independence; and considering their loyalty and patriotism at all times, and particularly at present, as also the signal and important services which they have performed and are now performing in favor of the just cause which they defend at the hazard of their lives and fortunes, it is made known as follows:
 1. That the said governor, with the advice and concurrence of the most reverend father guardian of Capuchins, has resolved at the petition and request of the people, to remove from their present situations and employments, Don Josef and don Manuel de Heredia, the licentiate Don Josef de Castro Cubilas, and Don Juan de Dios de Landabur; and if the people desire the suppression of the Junta of government, on expressing their wish without disorders or riot, through their representative the Lyndie, it shall instantly be done.  2. The most vigilant endeavors shall be used for the discovery of traitors, in order to avoid the danger of collusion with the enemy. That all personal injuries shall be redressed, and that every thing shall be provided for the defence of this place by its inhabitants or by national troops without admitting any foreign troops whatsoever.  3. That for the greater satisfaction of the public, able officers of the corps of artillery and engineers of the British nation, our close and faithful ally, who so zealously assists us, shall be invited for the purpose of examining and surveying the fortifications of this place and its dependencies, and shall be consulted in every thing relating to its defence.  4. That whereas the people of Cadiz, dissatisfied with his excellency the marquis de Villel, a member of the central junta, and its representative in this city, did yesterday the 22nd inst. arrest and confine him in the monastery of the revered father Capuchin's, and earnestly request an examina- 
tion of his papers, it has been determined to do so, and that a legal investigation shall take place.
5. That as the public discontent appears to arise in a great measure from the reserve with which intelligence of public events has hitherto been communicated, measures shall be taken to satisfy the people on that subject, by announcing whatever may occur with the greatest punctuality and attention.
6. Lastly, that the enlistments of the inhabitants in the provincial regiment of Ciudad Rodrigo shall cease, until, after consulting the supreme authority suitable measures are taken to garrison and defend this place; for which purpose the distinguished volunteers, the light troops, and the companies of artillery, shall remain, and shall not leave it, declaring that the reports spread by malevolence that it is intended to disarm them, or to send them to the army, are absolutely false.
And that this may be known to and satisfy the public, and that the confidence due to the authorities may be restored, and all disturbance cease, and tranquility reigns without which the laws cannot govern, it is ordered that these presents be posted up in Cadiz, this 23rd Feb. 1809.

HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, FOR COUGHS.
THE increasing reputation of Hamilton's Elixir (which during the last nine years has become celebrated throughout the U. States,) warrants the assertion that it is the best remedy now in use for colds, obstinate coughs, asthma and approaching consumptions. Experience has taught thousands, that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs, in the most distressing symptoms, that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system increase the difficulty of breathing and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects.
A single trial will prove that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs sheathes the acrimonious liquor which irritates them, and finally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder the symptoms are effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicine which weakens the constitution and gives strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present some of its painful effects.
To parents who have children afflicted with the hooping cough, this discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Select Recommendations.
Philad. U. S. August 9, 1806.
Mrs. H. Lee, widow of Richard Lee, jr. Being desirous to make public for the good of others the excellent quality of Hamilton's Elixir, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it; which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these, a constant pain in my breast, and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, but without giving me any relief. Another physician, who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it do much good. A bottle was procured from Mr. Birch's and I found relief before I had taken half of it. I continued to use it, and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold some of my former symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the Elixir.
GEO. BENNER, junior,
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
Mr. Charles Myers, Hamstead-Hill, near Baltimore, had been a long time dangerously indisposed, and was reduced to the lowest state of weakness, insomuch that his recovery appeared extremely doubtful. His complaints which seemed to be affections of the breast and lungs, and general debility occasioned thereby, yielded little, but rather progressed under the treatment of several eminent physicians; when by the use of Hamilton's Elixir, his distressing cough was immediately alleviated, and every other symptom perfectly subdued. Four or five bottles entirely removed his complaints and restored him to an excellent state of health and strength, which he has for upwards of a year past, enjoyed without interruption.
From Luther Martin, esq. late attorney general of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever coughs, colds, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.

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 bred 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 tawney 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.
