Affecting Picture of Europe,
After the battle of Austerlitz, in a letter from general Dumourier to a German nobleman.
TROPPEAU, Dec. 20, 1805.
Dear Baron,
With a heart penetrated with sorrow for the picture which I have before my eyes, and a head filled with the conversations which took place between us three days ago, I pass the night without sleep; I can find no rest; I direct all my faculties to one single object, the deliverance of Europe; and I wish the same restlessness for all sovereigns, who are still more interested than myself to preventing the inevitable catastrophe which impends, if the most extraordinary peace, not only divides their power for the present, but deprives them in future of all possibility of again forming such a whole, such a strong military force as they now have in their hands, for the purpose of opposing the stream that has increased to such prodigious magnitude.
A battle fought against all the rules of prudence and of art, has been lost. It has compelled the emperor of Austria to intrust the Russian emperor to abandon him to his fate. The want of provisions would likewise have obliged the Russians to leave for a time the unfortunate theatre of war. The Russian troops are retreating before our marches; they calculate only the last disaster, the compulsory abandonment of an ally, whom, notwithstanding all the blood it has cost them, they are unable to rescue; the velocity of their retreat, magnifies, in their eyes, the invincibility of the conquerors; and when they once get back to their country, they will be in no great haste to return.
The public opinion which always inclines to the side of the strongest, is quite in favor of Napoleon. The misfortunes of the ancient and powerful house of Austria, the retreat of the Russians, the tardiness of the king of Prussia, seem in the eyes of many to render peace absolutely necessary. A very small number of persons are of a different opinion.
Before the defeat at Austerlitz a tolerable peace might have been concluded. The armed mediation of the king of Prussia counterbalanced the great success of the enemy, whose too widely extended position, in consequence of the velocity of his conquests in ruined countries, would alone have been sufficient to inspire him with moderation. His negotiations will extricate him from the dilemma in which, notwithstanding his apparent brilliant situation, he is actually placed. The victory of the abnet is productive of more immediate and decisive results, than those of his armies.
If a certain power suffers the conqueror to dictate peace, she will surrender to him all the resources of the house of Austria.
In the hands of such an active leader, all the resources of the states which compose the house of Austria will be developed; the energy of the people will be revived, as soon as it shall come to this point, to fight with a certain other nation. Then will the formidable armies, which dissolved, like snow in the sun, before the lucky star of Napoleon again make their appearance, and with these newly-created Austrians, he will attack another state.
The king of Prussia has indisputably a respectable army, and two faithful allies, Hesse and Saxony; because their fate is closely connected with his. The enemy would, however, attempt to carry the war into his dominions.
To this reasoning it will be objected: if you consider war with the French as dangerous, why do you wish a certain monarch to abandon his system of neutrality, and to change his mediation into an attack, which would expose him to the dangers you describe, while you, at the same time, admit that dispirited Austria is no longer capable of helping herself, but lies at the mercy of the conqueror.
I answer, for the very reason that Austria deserts herself, the march of the Russians should be stopped before they have actually returned to their distant country, and they should be led back to the theatre of war, before the Austrian states, Italy, Tyrol, Salzburg, devolve by treaty to other masters; before Hungary and Bohemia receive a new constitution, before Poland is organized according to certain principles, in short, before all these innovations are sanctioned by a peace. At this moment all Europe is armed; how much might not be effected under the present circumstances, by a certain power.
As soon as peace is signed, there will be no remedy.
Let us now examine the respective positions of the several powers. On the one hand, Napoleon is master of Italy, Tyrol, Austria, Vienna, all Moravia and more than half of Bohemia. Hungary is neutralized. The revenues of all these provinces furnish him with subsidies; the imperial magazines supply him with ammunition, arms, clothes, &c. But his military position is not perfectly favorable.
The Austrian emperor has no longer any states, but he has still an army, namely, the undiminished army of the archduke Charles, amounting to more than 80,000 men. It is not yet dispirited, because it has always repulsed the enemy.
The two corps in Bohemia and Moravia amount to forty thousand men and are daily increasing. The reserve in Poland comprehends 80,000. Had the negotiations for peace been soon broken off, the first appearance of the archduke Charles in Hungary would have instantly put an end to the neutrality of that nation, which would presently have been in a state of insurrection. Thus it is possible to calculate on more than two hundred thousand Austrian soldiers, more than half of which are excellent troops, who might be armed concentrated, and employed in the reconquest of Vienna.
The Emperor of Russia has no intention of deserting the coalition. He is no more desirous of any thing than to return. His army is not yet so far distant, and before it reaches the interior it may return, refreshed by repose, and joined by reinforcements stronger and in higher spirits than ever.
Besides an undiminished corps of forty thousand men, under general Benningsen, in the king of Prussia's dominions, has had no share in the misfortune of the great army, and is not affected by the stipulations of the truce. Till the rupture of the negotiations, it must remain in the Prussian dominions, and then it may again march into Bohemia and Moravia, to cover Olmutz and Prague.
Should the emperor Alexander afterwards return with his army, the united force of both emperors might then be estimated at 300,000 men, which are more than sufficient to act on the offensive.
More marches and the skilful occupation of positions by another party, might be of the greatest importance. For example, I will just mention the occupation of the celebrated position of the Schellenberg, near Donauwerth, by the army assembled on the frontiers of Franconia; while the army in Silesia, standing in connection with the Upper Palatinate, should mass or occupy Ingolstadt; and a detached corps from the right wing of the Austro-Russian army should mask or occupy Passau.
I am not here taking into the account the great diversion of the allied army in Lower Saxony, on the Rhine in the South of Italy, nor of the diversion in Spain, which I long ago proposed, which I still recommend, and wish to be adopted.
It is time my dear friend to conclude this letter, and to shut up my magazine of ideas. Unfortunately I am only a private individual, and far from expecting my advice will be followed; I have no asylum in the country to which I have sacrificed my repose, which I came to defend, and for which I undertook a voyage in my 66th year, and in the most dangerous season. I must conceal myself, wandering from mountain to mountain, under an assumed name, till I find a prince, who, I may say without arrogance, on account of the interest with which I am capable of inspiring him, will afford me public protection and acknowledgement.
Adieu, dear Baron; acquaint me in my solitude with every interesting event that occurs.—I embrace you
Margate, Oct. 7.
The inhabitants and visitors of Margate have been for several days past in a state of the most fearful alarm, in consequence of a report circulated that a putrid fever had broken out in the barracks among the soldiery. On enquiry it appears that five privates, belonging to the Denbeigh militia have actually died within the last ten days of a disorder called the black fever; and two of the officers are said to be in a situation of great uncertainty as to their recovery.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
ELEGANT PRINTS. —Proposals have been issued by Col. Trumbull, "for publishing by subscription two small prints, one representing the DEATH of Washington at the battle of Bunker's Hill; the other the DEATH of MONTGOMERY, at the attack of Quebec." Some years ago large engravings were executed in England from the elegant paintings of col. Trumbull, and published in London; some which reached this country. They have been justly ranked, by amateurs, among those of the most distinguished historical pieces ever published. These now offered for the subscription of the public are copied from the large engravings; and judging from a proof of the unfinished plate, we have no doubt they will be equally executed. To accommodate the lover of historical engravings, in every situation of life, the author has been induced to issue these on a reduced scale, and at very less more than one fourth of the price of the large prints.
These prints, as they commemorate some of the most prominent events in the history of our country, as they are designed with ingenuity and executed with skill, and as their author is an American by birth and education, ought to be possessed by every patriotic individual by every gentleman of information & taste by all who wish for the advancement of the Fine Arts in the American republic. We hope to believe that the efforts of col. Trumbull will be rewarded with that extensive general patronage, which is due to a gentleman of his amiable character and eminent talents.
The following is an extract from the Preface:
Among the wonderful events which have marked the history of mankind, which in the last half century, none have been more extraordinary than those which have taken place in this country. The revolutions which have changed the political face of Europe, have only served to subvert whatever was sacred, ancient, and venerable, and to substitute systems, neither more free from abuses, nor more favorable to individual happiness or general freedom: while that which took place in America, has led to a long period of peace, an unexampled prosperity; and to a form of government so pure, so favorable to equity and universal freedom, that even the sages and the heroes, who laid its foundations, neither claimed for themselves nor for their posterity, any distinction over their fellow citizens, except the memory of their services and their virtues.
These illustrious events, disinterested services and patriotic virtues will be objects of admiration hereafter, and the favorite theme of future historians, poets and artists.
The subscriber has devoted several years of his time, to the execution of a series of historical paintings, whose object is to transmit to posterity faithful representations of the principal events, civil and military, of the American revolution as well as of the persons of the most distinguished actors—and of the manners of the times: considerable progress has been made in the work; two of the paintings being finished: four others nearly completed—and the materials for the remainder being principally collected.
Two large engravings, executed by eminent artists in Europe, from the picture of the battle of Bunker's Hill, and the attack of Quebec, have been published; but the size of these prints rendering them necessarily very expensive, the subscriber thought it would gratify the wishes of many of his patriotic countrymen, if others of a more moderate price could be obtained: He therefore caused to be engraved by excellent artists, copies, half the size of the originals and nearly equal to them in correctness and beauty—these smaller plates were nearly finished some years ago, and a few impressions were printed in London, with a view to their immediate publication—but the unfavorable aspect of the times caused the publication to be suspended, and the plates, together with the impressions then printed (with the exception of ten pairs given to the engravers) are now in the subscriber's possession.

NEW YORK, January 6.
Captain Dayton, of the brig Julia, from St. Andero, in Spain, informs us that after Bonaparte had entered Berlin he appointed twelve commissioners to whom were intrusted the care of the city police and the temporary government of the Republic of Prussia.
The king was represented to be in a situation which involved his personal safety — being surrounded by the troops of France, and hardly a possibility of effecting his escape.
The emperor Napoleon was said to be on his return to Paris.
The Russians, after some communications with the French army, were retiring towards their own territory, after witnessing as idle spectators the disasters of their ally, and were about to make an irruption into the dominions of the Grand Seignor, whose integrity Bonaparte was preparing to defend.
The news of the capture of Buenos Ayres by the British had not arrived at St. Andero before it was overtaken by the news of the recapture. These two accounts travelled in company, and reached the place of their destination together.
January 7. BUENOS AYRES.
Mr. Gilbert Deblois, of Boston, passenger in the sch'r Adela, from Cavenne, informs that he left the port of Monte Video, in the river Plate, on the 25th October last, at 12 o'clock at night, in a small French privateer sch'r L'Oiseau, captain Bidois (the only vessel that had, or would have liberty to depart the port for some month) and has handed us the following intelligence relative to South America: "On the 27th June last, the capital of La Plata, the city of Buenos Ayres, was taken by an expedition from the Cape of Good Hope, under the command of sir Home Popham and major general C. Beresford, consisting of about 1600 choice troops, without any loss, and a generous capitulation, they kept possession of the city until the 12th August following, when the said Beresford was attacked and taken by an expedition of 2000 men, undertaken from Monte Video, and about 70 French gentlemen as volunteers; the battle was fought and disputed with great obstinacy by the British, but, headed by an intrepid officer, the Spaniards bore down all opposition. The loss of the British in killed, wounded and massacred, after they had surrendered, was by the best accounts stated to be 420 men, and the Spaniards about 200, in killed and wounded, but almost 7/8ths of their wounded expired of their wounds, owing (as they say) to the British using poisoned balls; but a well informed French officer, who shared their dangers, told Mr. D. it was not the venomous balls of their enemies, but the ignorance and unskillfulness of their own friends, improperly styled surgeons, that killed the Spaniards. The Spaniards retook their capital by storm, and made prisoners nearly 1200 English; but a serious dispute had taken place between general Beresford and gen. Lenier; the English general insisting and saying, that a capitulation was made and signed while the white flag was flying upon the fortress, and which the Spanish commander absolutely denies; however, the prisoners were sent away a distance of 3 or 400 miles into the country, and it was reported that general Beresford and his officers were coming to Monte Video to be sent to Europe, but it was afterwards thought more proper to order them to Cordovir, only about 350 leagues or 1050 miles from Buenos Ayres. The common soldiers composing the expedition from Monte Video, robbed and plundered every English abode at Buenos Ayres, and also every Spanish house wherein an Englishman was seen to enter, or reside: they also put into prison, among many others, Mr. Wm. P. White, (formerly of Boston) Mr. Maloc, a Mr. Jackson, a Mr. Mark Riley, and a Mr. Haselback. The former (Mr. White) was induced to receive an office, such as a prize-agent, under the English government, for which he was recompensed by being put into close confinement two months, and part of that time incommunicable, and, with the British officers, was obliged to take a journey into the interior. No stranger whatever permitted to go up to Buenos Ayres, as they mean, without exception, to exclude all from thence, especially Americans!
The British, upon their becoming masters of Buenos Ayres, found only 1 200,000 dollars of public property (although there were 6 times that amount in the place) which they sent, with dispatches, to England, in the frigate Narcissus. They had
collected considerable copper and quicksilver, but as it was not taken on board the transports, they got only the money off. Sir Home Popham was in Buenos Ayres when it was retaken, and with great difficulty effected his escape in a boat to his ships; after which, with the exception of one gun brig, left cruising between the Colonia and Buenos Ayres, he brought his squadron (consisting of his own ship, the Diadem, of 64 guns, captain King; Raisonable 64, capt. Rowley; Diomede 50, captain Philips, one frigate, two sloops of war, and several armed transports) and anchored in full view of the harbor of Monte Video. Some days he would have every ship under weigh; at other times only one or two of easy draught of water, who would stand in so close that the very inhabitants could discern the buttons on the officers' uniform. Sir Home had sent into Monte Video upwards of thirty flags of truce, demanding general Beresford and his troops a supply of provisions, and some medicines for his sick and wounded. The governor tired of such business generously sent sir Home Popham a supply of fresh provisions and twenty three English seamen, who were brought into Monte Video a few months previous in an English Guineaman, and saying that he should not respect any more flags from that time. Sir Home Popham, answered the governor's civility by accepting the fresh supply of provisions and receiving the twenty three seamen; but contrary to the etiquette observed in time of war about exchange of prisoners he refused to deliver up the like number of Spaniards, which he might very easily have done, as he had more than 90 in his possession, which were taken from a small town on the south entrance of the river.
Several skirmishes had taken place between the English vessels and Spanish gun boats and foras; and almost every day they saluted Monte Video with 12 and 18 lb. shot, which, to those people who were peaceably attending to their business, and especially the young ladies, who, by their religion were obliged to attend mass every day, was extremely ungentle and inconvenient. For a few days previous to Mr. D's departure an English brig sent a number of heavy shot into and over the city, some of which had the audacity to tear away the s. e. corner of St. Felipe's church; however, not many lives were lost, or much damage done.
On the 12th July last, an embargo was laid on all vessels in the port of Monte Video, and continued with more than usual vigor when Mr. D. sailed. The reasons assigned were—1st, that they were going to fit out an expedition to retake Buenos Ayres; when that was accomplished, the 2d was that they were going to expedite four vessels with dispatches for Spain; when that was done, and the four dispatch vessels by uncommon good luck had escaped clear of the blockading squadron in the river, the governor's 1st objection to taking off the embargo, was, that the British squadron was starving for want of provisions, which every body knew to the contrary, as the Raisonable man of war had been dispatched to and arrived from Rio Janeiro with so much of a supply as to be obliged to caulk in her lower tier of gun ports.
It was reported before Mr. D. sailed, that sir Home Popham had received a reinforcement of 3500 men from the Cape of Good Hope, which he believes to be true, as he himself counted 35 sail at anchor 5 miles below Monte Video, below Point Carrettas and the island of Flores, the same evening he sailed; and it was known that 18 sail more had arrived off Maldonado, a city at the N. entrance of Rio Plata, as the governor of Monte Video had, the 22d October, received a letter from a commandant at Maldonado, who wrote to that effect. If his force has arrived, sir Home will undoubtedly attack Monte Video; but whether he will be able to take possession, even with 5000 men, is very uncertain, as the Spaniards have nearly 10,000, and in high spirits. Among the 35 sail at anchor off Flores island, some were Spanish, some Portuguese and some Americans, detained or captured. Sir Home Popham, about the 29th September, sent in a flag of truce to the governor of Monte Video, declaring the port in a state of blockade; but also mentioned, that all neutrals might have leave to pass his squadron provided they did it in 7 days, and in ballast only—after that he would keep up a rigorous blockade. This extraordinary determination was notified to all neutrals by the governor. After two days had elapsed out of the seven, some few ships, Portuguese and Danes, endeavored to avail themselves of the opportunity and go out in ballast, but were stopped by the Spa-
nish government. The American vessels not being ready to go out in the limited time, the captains petitioned the governor to take off the embargo, but without success.
List of American vessels at Monte Video, Oct. 25, 1806.
Ships Belisarius, Wilds, of Boston, loaded; Venuela, Walsh, of Boston, for New Orleans; Tru'h, Waldo, of Boston, loaded; Margaret, Milberry, for Charles-ton; Eugene, Nixon, of Boston, for Charleston; Resource, Magee, of Providence, for Charleston or Baltimore; Pigou, Collet, of Philadelphia, for London; brig Harry and Jane, Turner, of Portland, for London; ship American Eagle, Kiog, of New York, had almost 500 tons of her cargo (beef, tallow and hides) and would have been wholly loaded had she been permitted to go two and a half miles outside the harbor into deeper water—brig Mentor, Goodwin, of Boston, arrived 10th April, in distress, and as the captain could not obtain funds to repair (having no inward cargo) he thought of giving her up to the underwriters.
Brig Trial, Malbone (former captain dead) of Newport, from Mozambique and Rio Janeiro, uncertain when to sail. The ship Hampton, Bourn, from New York, arrived the last of August; she was chartered in and fired at by one of sir Home Popham's gun ships, but getting under cover of St. Philips, got safe in. She was not taking in any cargo. Brig Rosa, Coffin, from New York, arrived about the 10th of September, and was also chased by the Leda frigate and a number of English cutters, and fired at; but being protected by the Spanish foras and gun boats, got safe in; had not begun to take in a cargo. Sloop Rufus, Dabney, of Boston from Africa. Ship Mary, Danbury, from Baltimore. Brig Minerva, Gernon, Charleston. The schooner Mary Campbell, of and for Charleston, having been loaded nearly two months, and seeing no prospect of the embargo's being taken off, ran out of Monte Video on the night of October 2 in consequence of which the governor issued orders to all neutral captains to deliver up their ship's papers to the captain of the port, to launch their topmasts, and get every yard on deck, which was instantly complied with, for fear of worse treatment. From that time a sharp look out was kept, particularly for Americans.
Lying off the island of Flores, brig Sally Ann, deforester, of Boston from Africa; and ship Swift, Boucher, from Newport, with naval stores and it was supposed she would be condemned. Both vessels have been more than six weeks in possession of the English commodore.
Ship Isabella, O'Reilly, supercargo of Philadelphia, from London with dry goods — It was supposed she would not be permitted to unload though consigned to the father in law of the present governor.
To assist in destroying the expence of the expedition to Buenos Ayres, an extra duty of fourteen per cent. had been laid on all produce shipped to a foreign port, it being now as high as ten and a half per cent. on what the produce is valued at in the custom house, exclusive of the ramo de guerra on ox and horse hides.
An ox hide now pays thirty five and a half cents; a horse hide sixteen cents; — tallow valued at four dollars per quintal pays forty two and a half cents per quintal — jerked beef valued at 1 dol. pays 10 1-2 do.
Prices Current at Montevideo, Oct. 25.
Good ox hides from 14 to 15 reals per 40 lbs. horse do. 4 to 5 reals each scarce; tallow per 100 lbs. 7 dollars and very scarce — jerked beef, two dollars per quintal, in demand, but in consequence of the blockade would soon fall to one and a half dol.s. and perhaps less the killing season advancing; wool 7 dollars per 100 cwt. little at market; copper 17 to eighteen dollars, very scarce and little at market.
Extract from Mr. Deblois' journal, on board the sch'r. L'Oiseau, bound from Montevideo to Cayenne.
"November 17th, in lat. 11, 10, long. 30, 24, brought to and boarded by the Spanish Sloop La President, capt. Montague, from Montevideo, out 61 days, had been into the bay of All Saints three days previous to repair some damage sustained in a severe gale. This sloop was one of the four that sailed from Montevideo for Spain with dispatches 87 days before the schooner L'Oiseau. Captain M. parted with the other three vessels on account of his superior sailing the 2d day after leaving the river Plate; but understood at the bay of All Saints that one of them, a three masted schooner had been totally lost at St. Catherine's, about 150 miles to the northward of Rio Plata.

In Senate, on Monday the 5th instant, Gen. Smith moved that a committee should be appointed to enquire whether any additional force was necessary in the military establishment of the United States. He introduced it by saying that he had been of opinion in 1802, that the army might with safety be reduced to its present establishment; but that having added to our territory an immense country, situated at such a distance, from a possibility of giving it immediate assistance from the militia of the states, he had for some time been of opinion, that an additional force had there been made necessary.
The house of Delegates have adopted an innovation for the Court of Appeals, distinct from either of the two which we have already noticed. In case of the death, resignation or removal of either of the judges, his place is not to be supplied, but his salary of 4501. is to be divided amongst the four others. When one of the remaining four is vacated, his salary is to be divided in the same manner, and the court is to be reduced to three judges. — For this additional compensation, there are to be three sessions in the year and the period of service at one 120 days.
The resignation of Judge Carrington, (C. of A.) was yesterday laid before the legislature. [Richmond paper.]
There is some reason to suspect that an understanding is likely to take place between the chiefs of the blacks in St. Domingo, and the French commandant there.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of great respectability, dated Frankfort, Kentucky, December 15:
"Burr left this place about five days ago, and went to Lynch's. He told me he should wait to hear as to Wilkinson's success; if hostilities did commence, he should go down and try and take all he could get to follow him, and that if hostilities did not commence he should go to the southward. I believe there is no doubt but general Adair has gone to Louisiana, and it is said has gone to Wilkinson. There is no doubt but men are engaging for the Burr party. I have seen several persons who have conversed with the men engaged, viz. — and — They are engaged for six months at least; to have arms if required, and are to descend the river, to get 10 dollars per month, and 100 or 150 acres of land."
QUERE.—Is the above statement, represented to have been made by Mr. Burr, meant by him as a cover to plans even more hostile to the peace of the union.
Extract of a letter, dated Havana, December 11
We have no news here, except that of the British forces having been defeated at Buenos Ayres, and the place retaken — This news is confirmed by way of Panama. It is added that a second attack was made on Monte Video, and that sir Home Popham lost two of his ships; one sunk under a fort, and another lost in a severe gale of wind."

ATTENTION! Richard Lee & Son, Request those persons who value their health to observe, that NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his China, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Mears' Ricketts and Newton's, Is appointed their agent for Alexandria, AND HAS JUST RECEIVED, A LARGE SUPPLY OF Patent and Family Medicines, From their Medicine Warehouse, BALTIMORE.
THE above Richard Lee and Son is father and brother to the deceased Richard Lee, of New York, and have prepared those valuable medicines for upwards of seven years, from the original receipts now in our possession. This public notice is rendered necessary by imitations of them having been lately advertised for sale in New York, Philadelphia, and other places. Effectually to counteract such unprincipled attempts we wish the public to be informed, that the genuine medicines are only prepared by Richard Lee and Son, Baltimore, and sold by Nicholas Hingston, Alexandria—Messrs. Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol Hill, Washington—Ninian Magruder, drug-gist, Georgetown, and no where else in the above places. N.B. The signature of Richard Lee and Son is on the outside wrappers, without which, none are genuine.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers is recommended Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee and 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. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in presenting and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. Lee's genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard.
A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. Lee's infallible Ague and Fever Drops, For the cure of Agues, remittent and inter-mittent Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine have proved ineffectual. Not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail; which, unless early attended to, and speedily removed, injure the constitution exceedingly, bring on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints of a most dangerous & alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of; but being a very nauseous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; children and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently loath for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
Lee's Grand Restorative, Is confidently recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance, the unskillful or excessive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period, of life bad lyings in, &c.
LEE'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, asthma, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. To parents who may 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 so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges, Which have, within six years past, cured upwards of one hundred thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, Which is warranted an infallible remedy, one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends other remedies. Dr. Larou's Indian Vegetable Specific, For the cure of Venereal complaints. The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great portion of them, after the skill of eminent physicians had proved ineffectual) demonstrates its efficacy in expelling the virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and in counteracting those dreadful effects which often result from the improper use of mercury. The mildness of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy; its operation is so gentle that it is given to patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system or producing any of those disagreeable effects inseparable from the common remedies.
With the medicine is given a description of symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible. EYE WATER. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or accident. TOOTH ACHE DROPS, The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. LEE'S CORN PLAISTER, An infallible remedy for speedily removing corns, root and branch, without giving pain. DAMASK LIP SALVE. Restorative Powder for the Teeth & Gums. THE ANODYNE ELIXIR, For the cure of all kinds of head-ache. N.B. Liberal allowance to wholesale purchasers on application to Richard Lee and Son, November 10 Baltimore

VALUABLE LANDS, To be Sold very Cheap. I WISH to sell my Mill Tract of Land, situate on Back-Lick and Indian-Runs, about six miles from the town of Alexandria; containing about eleven hundred acres. On this tract are two plantations besides the mill farm—on the latter there is a very good mill, which has one pair of burr, and one pair of culien stones, with elevators, &c. complete for merchant work—a distillery convenient to the mill, with four stills and every necessary utensil in complete order—a dwelling house, kitchen, barn, with stables under it accommodate 20 stalls, with every other out house requisite on a farm—a very good garden, an orchard of about 2600 trees of the choicest fruits this country can afford. There is about 200 or 400 acres of the tract cleared, the remainder in woods and a great part of it heavily timbered; about 30 or 40 acres of meadow, and nearly 600 acres more may be made on the bottoms adjoining the two runs. ALSO, One other tract of one hundred acres, about two miles from Alexandria, part of the Cliesh Tract, and adjoining the lands of Messieurs John C. Herbert, Robert Patton, and John Richter, the Mount Vernon road running through it. This tract is mostly in woods, and conveniently situated for country seats. If these lands should be sold at private sale, (which I would prefer) I will take in payment, if more convenient to the purchasers, stock of any of the banks from Richmond to New-York, or any kind of stock in the United States.
If they are not sold before Friday the first day of May next, the Mill Tract will, on that day, be sold at public auction, to the highest bidder—and on the following day the Cliesh Lands will be sold in like manner. The Mill Tract will be divided into three or four farms and sold subject to a lease of four and an half years from the first day of July last. The Cliesh Tract will be divided into lots of 10 or 20 acres each. If sold at public auction the terms will be made known on the days of sale. William Hepburn.
