LETTER
FROM COL. PICKERING TO GOV. SULLIVAN.
City of Washington,
April 22, 1808.
SIR,
SO much time has elapsed since your excellency saw my letter of the 18th March, you may imagine that I have forgotten you; but for many reasons that letter demands my notice. It was evidently intended for the press, to promote your reappointment, at the approaching election. But a review of the copy, replete with unwarrantable recriminations & rudeness, probably satisfied you, or your friends advised you, that a publication of the whole might rather prejudice than promote your interest; and therefore you suppressed the greater part. But fearing no charges which your excellency has brought or can bring against me; and thinking it proper that the whole letter should be known, I shall publish it entire. Those who will be at the trouble to compare the paragraphs you have chosen to publish as extracts, with the letter itself, will see that they are so compounded, and with such alterations and additions, as to be, in fact, a studied imposition on the public.
In examining your letter, I observe many extraordinary passages calling for animadversion; but to notice all of them, would too severely tax my own, as well as the reader's patience. In my remarks, it may sometimes be difficult to adapt my language to the subject, without wounding the public sense of the decorum proper to be observed in a writing intended for the public eye. But it shall be my endeavor not to transgress that bound.
Your excellency perceiving that doubt or disbelief had arisen, relative to your assertion, that you returned my first letter "unread," seems resolved, in your last, to remove all doubt, and to enforce belief, by repeating, directly or indirectly, five or six times that you did send it back unread. Now, a plain man, conscious of having told the truth, would have rested on a single assertion.
You suggest that the governor's communication to the legislature "must be always of something which he believes to deserve their attention, and to be within their authority as a legislature;" but that "you do not conceive that my letter was within this description." This opinion of my letter you appear to have formed since you acknowledge that you have read it. And how could you undertake to decide that point, as by your own statement you did, without reading it? Was it not possible, was it not probable, that in the actual state of things, the information it contained might afford matter proper for the consideration of the legislature of Massachusetts, relative to the embargo, which was peculiarly injurious to that state? Will your excellency maintain the servile doctrine, that as freemen they might not even take into consideration their grievances, resulting from the measures of their national rulers? May not the legislative body of a state make known to the national legislature the sufferings of the whole people of a state, as individuals exhibit their private wrongs? Is it lawful for legislative bodies only so far to interfere as to express approbation, and never, however forcible the call, their disapprobation of national measures, by making application for a change? Has your excellency forgotten, that during this very session of congress, as governor of Massachusetts, (and as you state "with the unanimous request of its legislature,") you presented to congress a strong memorial in behalf of some of the citizens of that state who had been purchasers of lands under grants from Georgia? And did the essential interests of all her citizens, deeply affected by the embargo, less merit the attention of your excellency and the legislature than the claims of a small number of those citizens? Perhaps you will say, that the legislature had already adopted resolutions approving of the embargo. True, and I accounted for it on the supposition, very naturally to be entertained by the legislature, that the assembled wisdom of the nation, at Washington, would not have adopted so terrible a remedy but for evils of the greatest magnitude, which an embargo alone could avert. Now, the great design of my letter was, to satisfy them that the embargo was not, in the national legislature, the offspring of wisdom; for wisdom cannot exist without knowledge; and I still affirm that congress were not informed of any adequate cause for the embargo—and therefore, instead of implicit approbation, the embargo demanded examination, and perhaps a remonstrance, with a view to effect its repeal.
But you say "Mr. Adams, my colleague, is quite opposed to me in his opi-
nion of the embargo. He voted for it, and still considers it a wise measure, and a necessary one. You have his letters before you upon it." True, he did vote for the embargo and I must now tell your excellency, how he advocated that measure. It is not willingly, sir, that I speak of him in an address to the public. Though often opposed in opinion, on national measures, there has never existed for a moment any personal difference between us. But as you have now contrasted his opinion with mine, to invalidate my public statements, you compel me to relate the fact.
In my first letter I informed your excellency of the haste with which the embargo bill was passed in the senate. I also informed you, that "a little more time was repeatedly asked, to obtain further information, and to consider a measure of such moment, of such universal concern; but that these requests were denied;" and I must now add, by no one more zealously than by Mr. Adams, my colleague. Hear his words. But even your excellency's strong faith in the president's supreme wisdom may pause, while independent men will be shocked at the answer of my colleague to those requests. "The president, said he, has recommended the measure on his high responsibility: I would not consider, I would not deliberate: I would act. Doubtless the president possesses such further information as will justify the measure!" Need I give to your excellency any further proof (though other proof abounds) of "blind confidence in our rulers?" Need I give further evidence of "the dangerous extent of executive influence?" When the people of Massachusetts see a man of Mr. Adams' acknowledged abilities and learning advancing such sentiments; when they see a man of his knowledge of the nature of all governments, and of his intimate acquaintance with our own free republican government, and of the rights and duties of the legislature; especially of their right and duty to consider, to deliberate, and, according to their own judgment, independently of executive pleasure to decide on every public measure: When, I say, the people of Massachusetts see this, will they wonder if a majority in congress should be overwhelmed by the authority of executive recommendation? And had I not reason to be alarmed at "the dangerous extent of executive influence," which to me appeared to be leading the public mind, by its blind confidence, to public ruin?
Without commenting on the very exceptionable language in which your excellency has judged it not improper to indulge, in respect to my remarks on your proclamation for a day of public fasting and prayer, I feel myself compelled to repel the charge that my "professions to have read that proclamation with pleasure, can never be considered as founded in sincerity." You, sir, may affect to doubt my sincerity; but no persons acquainted with my life and conversation will suspect it. These persons know I am not a hypocrite in religion; and by this time I believe your excellency is convinced that I am not a hypocrite in politics. But, sir, I must avow to you, that I am incapable of professing any religious institution. With perfect truth I repeat to your excellency, that I did read your proclamation for a fast "with great satisfaction." And, I further assure you, that my friends here, delegates from Massachusetts, manifested the like satisfaction—we all approved of the religious sentiments you expressed. But your excellency knows, and the world knows, that such a proclamation may be issued, and other external marks of christianity be exhibited, and "the weightier matters of the law be omitted."
[To be continued]
FROM A LONDON PAPER OF MARCH 27.
Austrian Declaration. —During the war which was concluded by the peace of Tilsit, his imperial, royal and apostolic majesty, has continually endeavored to impress the belligerent powers with the motives which ought to induce them to concur in endeavoring to procure a general peace. The court of Vienna from that time declared its sentiments to the cabinet of St. James, and the imperial envoy at London, prince Starhemberg, received formal and pressing instructions; but as the British ministry, in answer to these written communications, declared that its answers must depend upon its allies, the salutary propositions of Austria could not be considered but as disregarded; and soon after the treaty of Tilsit was concluded, by which the interests of the continent were regulated, without the participation of Great Britain; his imperial, royal and apostolic majesty continued, nevertheless, convinced of the utility and even of the
necessity of a general pacification, and this conviction afforded him new motives for renewing his pressing representations to the court of London in July. Soon after the signing of the continental peace, the prince of Starhemberg again received orders to induce the British ministry to enter into a negotiation with France, in order that the continental peace be connected with, and confirmed by a maritime peace. But these propositions were not more successful than the former had been, and the answer from England was again evasive. His majesty, however, thought it right to return to a subject of the most material influence on the general system of Europe as well as on the prosperity of the Austrian provinces in particular. Prince Starhemberg was therefore, for the first time, directed in September, 1807, to make some farther overtures, connected with the former measures of the court of Vienna. But before his majesty's ambassador reported the result of his communication, the court of London declared its sentiment with regard to a maritime peace in so positive a manner, refusing at the same time a mediation of Russia, making an attack on Copenhagen, and seizing the Danish fleet, without assigning any satisfactory cause of these violent measures, nay endeavoring to justify those proceedings, these infringements of the unquestionable rights of neutral powers by official declarations, which evidently clashed with the principles adopted by the great powers, that it was impossible not to perceive in the course pursued by the British minister, to remove the possibility of peace to a greater distance, and not to listen to what ever had a tendency to restore tranquility to Europe.
The impression which this conduct, destructive of all the hopes which his majesty had fondly conceived, made on him, was as deep as it was painful. Without waiting for the further reports of prince Starhemberg, orders still more urgent and more positive were sent him than he had before received. These instructions, bearing date the 30th of October contained first a recapitulation of all former transactions, and directed him to represent to the cabinet of St. James, in the strongest colors, the unavoidable consequences of its conduct, and to insist in the most earnest manner, on an open declaration of its real sentiments, with regard to peace, and to avail himself of all possible means to lead it back to sentiments of moderation, fitted for the present situation and meeting the wishes of Europe.
The dispatches closed with the precise order, to apply once more on this subject, in an official manner, to his majesty's minister for foreign affairs, and to make to him the formal proposal to enter into negotiation for a maritime peace, on such principles as answered the interest of the powers concerned; and as a provisional proof of his pacific disposition, to desist from the measures pursued against Denmark, and retract the declaration which accompanied them. Should the court of St. James reject those proposals, or purposely protract giving any answer, prince Starhemberg was directed to demand his passports and leave London, with every person belonging to the embassy.
It was the emperor's will that the above instructions should be restricted to such of general interest, as were most likely to move the British cabinet to receive his proposals with attention and kindness: and if his imperial majesty ordered no complaints to be inserted of the numerous violations of his right as a neutral power, violations with regard to which his majesty had not been able to obtain the least redress or compensation, the reasons so doing will be obvious, which induced his majesty to pass by in silence whatever concerned his personal interest.
His imperial majesty's ambassador in London, could not execute the positive orders which he received from Vienna to their full extent; but being of opinion that he might indulge an hope of being able to prevail on the English ministry to shew more pacific sentiments towards France, he resolved to express at first only part of his orders in a note addressed to Mr. Canning on the 20th of November; the secretary of state answered that note by a mere repetition of the declaration made to Austria by England since the month of April, 1807.
As all further representation was now evidently ineffectual, a final notification was sent on the 22d December, to prince Starhemberg, which repeated the orders of the 30th October, and directed him before his departure to give in a note explaining the motives of the conduct of the court of Vienna towards that of London. These dispatches did not however arrive in London till prince Starhemberg had applied
for and received his passes, and he no longer could have communications with the secretary of state, and deliver in the note which had been transmitted to him.
This representation, which is confined to the official communications that have passed between the two governments, is sufficient to shew, that the cabinet of St. James cannot mistake the causes nor the motives which have induced his Apostolic majesty to break off the connection which has hitherto existed between Austria and Great Britain. The emperor nevertheless wishes to see the moment arrived, when the court of London, sensible of its interests, shall, with calmness and justice, judge of and compare the situation of England with that of other powers, and thereby enable his majesty to renew with its former friend the connections.
VIENNA, February 18.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, May 7.
It is with infinite pleasure we learn that the Election in Rhode Island has terminated in favor of Correct Principles. The federalists have a majority of three in the Senate and four in the Assembly.
The Election of members of Assembly in Massachusetts has commenced, and we are happy to find, in the Continent of Wednesday, returns from 13 towns, in which the federalists have 12 more than they had last year. In these towns the democrats gained 5 and lost 9. The federalists have gained 16 in these 13 towns. The hon. Eldridge Gerry voted for the federal ticket in Cambridge.
Yesterday 46 soldiers from Fort Columbus were put on board the Wasp, and this day she sails for Pass-may-quoddy, to protect the flour at that place.
A letter from Jamaica of the 6th ultimo, contradicts the news of an embargo at that island—and says no such measure was ever contemplated by the new governor.
Yesterday arrived here in the British packet Queen Charlotte, col. McNeil, British consul for Louisiana, with dispatches for Mr. Erskine; and James Burn, esq. with dispatches from Mr. Pinckney to our government.
BALTIMORE, May 9.
Latest from Holland.
On Saturday evening arrived at this port the fast sailing brig Susanna, Samuel Franklin, master, in 45 days from Amsterdam, which port he left on the 25th March, by permission of the Dutch government. In her came passenger Mr. Rittenhouse, the bearer of dispatches from Gen. Armstrong, our minister at Paris: he set off yesterday morning for the seat of government. Captain F. informs that no vessels had arrived at Amsterdam since the sailing of the Eliza, Hoffington, except a brig belonging to Boston which was captured and brought in by an Amsterdam privateer. The ship Lexington, Gerdner, was to sail in 14 days by permission of that government with the crews of the American vessels, and other American distressed seamen in that port.
By this arrival we have been obligingly furnished with Dutch papers down to the 23d of March, being 20 days later than heretofore received—from which we have made the following translations.
PARIS, March 10.
The queen of Naples left this capital the day before yesterday. Agreeably to advice the grand duke of Berg has departed from Bayonne and probably has arrived again at Valladolid, in Spain.
PERSE, (TEHERAN,) December 24.
The general, Gardane, minister plenipotentiary of his majesty the emperor, arrived here on the 14th December. He left Peking in the month of May.
Feth Ali Schah, sovereign of Persia, has received general Gardane in the most honorable manner, and the presenting of the minister has been executed with a splendor heretofore never exercised towards any European ambassador. In order to render Napoleon, in the person of his minister a new token of esteem, the emperor of Persia has presented general Gardane with the order of the Sun of the first class, as likewise it has pleased his imperial highness to beow that of second class to Roossens and Lazard, Secretaries of Legation; Tonano, first interpreter, &c.
STOCKHOLM, March 5.
The war with Russia has really begun, and as it was feared and expected to the

greatest prejudice of our kingdom. After the declaration of the 10th of February, by his majesty the emperor Alexander, the Russian troops on the 22d of the same month entered Finland, made themselves masters of the city of Louisa, and have met with but little resistance, advancing most rapidly, so that according to the last advices, they were in the vicinity of Abo; how far our troops proceeding through Lapland have advanced is not known. The information of these events, which our court did not look for so soon, made a great impression, and has caused the king himself to adopt measures which can neither better our cause nor ameliorate our circumstances. He has caused the Russian envoy, Mr. Alopeus, jun. to be arrested by an adjutant, and the archives of the legation to be sealed. The said envoy, together with his suite, is locked up in his hotel, under guard, and no person has access to him but his physician. All foreign ambassadors at our court, even those from England, not excepted, have made fruitless remonstrances against this defamatory of national rights, which is the more reproachable, should it be true, as report says, that a courier sent from Petersburg to Mr. Alopeus had been stopped at Abo, and had been robbed of his dispatches.
COPENHAGEN, March 8.
The Swedish mail, already due at Helsingborg on the 6th inst. is still wanting. We do not know whether this is to be considered as a rupture between the two kingdoms.
STOCKHOLM, March 8.
Advices from Finland become more alarming every moment. It is said that at the approach of the Russians, the division of our Scheeren fleet, not ready for sea, laying at Abo, was set on fire.
HELSINGBORG, March 12.
The rapid advances of the Russians in Finland are confirmed. All Nyland is in their power, and they are even in possession of the provincial capital Helsingfors, containing 3000 inhabitants, which is fortified by two citadels.

TUESDAY, MAY 10.
The President of the United States left Washington on Friday, on a short visit to Monticello.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Amsterdam, to his correspondent in N. York, dated March 4th.
As respects political information I can only inform you that it seems to be the determination of Bonaparte that all the world shall be at war, and that he will carry it on to the very last extremity, more especially with England his greatest rival. It will serve as a specimen of his very hostile measures, to observe to you that three days since a cartel arrived here with prisoners from England, which was immediately ordered out again, without having had the least communication with the shore. Not even a fishing boat is allowed to pass the fort without a guard on board, so fearful are they of any communication with G. Britain. The emperor has ordered a new levy of 90,000 recruits; exclusive of which his army is computed at 900,000.
An embargo took place here on the 25th of January, for what purpose is at present unknown. The American consul has petitioned for one of the ships to depart for the U. S. with all the unfortunate American seamen. This request has been granted; and it is by this conveyance I now address you."
It is a singular circumstance, that the present positions of the British troops in Sicily are precisely the same which Pompey occupied during the civil wars of the second triumvirate. So long as Pompey maintained the command of the sea, Sicily, which he had seized, was safe from the power of Octavius, and when his fleet was beaten, the local advantages of the country would have enabled him to have starved his enemies, had not a party among his troops delivered the island to their hands.
HEAR WHAT CHEETHAM SAYS.
The four following paragraphs are copied from the Citizen of yesterday:
"I am disposed to cherish a hope of something favorable to republicanism from the western district, but I cannot. The Anti-Embargo current is irresistible. This state is in all probability gone. My alarms are for the Presidency. If New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland follow the scandalous example of this state, who can say, extraordinary and astonishing as it may seem, that our next President will not be a FEDERALIST?"
"Again—Last evening, and since writing the above, the northern mail arrived and brought the following unpleasant information."
"Washington County has given the Republican Candidates for the Assembly, a small
majority—Last year our majority in this county was 800.
"Otsego, one of the most republican counties in the state, has given a majority of 200 for the Federal candidates, for the Assembly! Last year Otsego gave a republican majority of between 7 and 800—Heretofore this county was deemed as safe as Suffolk. Where will the mania stop? What an inauspicious revolution!

To Captains of Coasting Vessels. Extracts from an act, entitled "an Act in addition to the act entitled 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; and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That during the continuance of the act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States, no vessel of any description whatever, and wherever bound, whose employment is confined to the navigation of bays, sounds, rivers and lakes, within the jurisdiction of the U. States (packets, ferry-boats, and vessels exempted from the obligation of giving any bond whatever, only excepted) shall be allowed to depart from any district of the United States, without having previously obtained a clearance, nor until the master or commander shall have delivered to the collector or surveyor of the port of departure a manifest of the whole cargo on board, including articles of domestic growth or manufacture, as well as foreign merchandise. And it shall also be the duty of the owners, agents or master of every such vessel to produce within two months thereafter to the collector of the district from which the vessel departed, a certificate of the landing of the whole of such cargo, in a port of the U. States, within the bays, sounds, rivers, or lakes, to which the navigation of such vessel is confined, signed by the collector or surveyor of the port where the cargo shall have been landed.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That if any vessel described in the first section shall depart from any district of the U. S. without a clearance, or before the manifest of the cargo shall have been delivered to the collector or surveyor, in the manner therein provided, or if a certificate of the landing of the cargo shall not be produced within the time and manner herein provided, such vessel or cargo shall be forfeited, and the owner or owners, consignee, agent, factors, freighters, master, or skipper of such vessel, shall respectively forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding five thousand dollars, nor less than one thousand dollars: Provided always, That nothing herein contained, shall be construed to bar or prevent the recovery of the penalty on the bond given for such vessel.
The above extracts, as immediately applicable to the captains of coasting craft, clearing from this port, are selected from the law for their government.
Extract of a letter from Albany, dated April 3d, and written by an intelligent and active member of the incorporated society for the promotion of arts.
"Of late there is a great spirit of manufacture among us. Every week the society has samples of woollen cloth sent for their inspection. There is a manufactory of broad cloth set up at Poughkeepsie by a Mr. Booth. He brought to this city last week a piece of his manufacturing, being of the common width of that sort of cloth. It was a very fine and good piece and is now selling in this city at $7 10 1000 per yard. It was made of the Me 100 wool, which he purchased of Mr. L. R. Livingston. The state has loaned to Mr. Booth, I think, about $5000 to enable him to carry on the business more extensively."
"About twenty miles north of this place another foreigner has established a manufactory for spinning flax & hemp into yarn and twine, by machinery, which has been imported from England, and which is said to be very curious; and that two girls by this mode will spin as much and better in one day than ten women can do in the same time by the usual mode. The state has also loaned to this man a sum of money to extend his business."
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE
OF THE REGISTER.
LIVERPOOL, March 15.
We remain without any intelligence from the middle or the northern States, since the 14th January. Business is dull in the uncertainty of the issue to the negotiation with America, but the prices of American produce are maintained, as stocks are moderate.
Some applications have been made to government to repeal the blockade orders in council, but no change is expected to take place but through the negotiation with America. It would now seem as if the hostile powers mean to relax in their restrictions. Several vessels which were warned in here, and afterwards proceeded to Holland, have been received there. Letters of the first of March, from Rotterdam, give encouragement to expect that little difficulty in future attends vessels arriving there if certain precautions are taken, even although they may have touched at an English port. But this is so different from the intelligence of ten days before, that it will require some time to judge fully of it.
Ashes.—No arrival of ashes has taken place since our last of 2d February.—Pots are scarce and saleable at our quotations. Pearls, altho' in moderate quantity, still form a fair supply, and our glass manufacturers being affected, by your non-importation law, the demand is little felt at present. But in the event of the embargo with you continuing six months longer, it seems probable that pearls would be more scarce than pots, as we shall begin to receive supplies of ashes from Canada in July, and which will be principally pots.
COTTON.
Our imports of Cotton was in
  Bags   January, 1807, from America 9,500   other parts 3,800   February, 1807, from America 8,500   other parts 2,700   Total, 24,500   Bags   January, 1808, from America 13,000   other parts 5,000   February, 1808, from America 4,000   other parts 700   Total 22,700 
and thus it will be observed, that our supplies from America, which in January were unusually great, begin now to fall off considerably, and as nearly all the vessels that had got away before the embargo was laid on have arrived here, we have no more to expect from thence while that measure remains in force, unless perhaps a few cargoes from New-Orleans;—our supplies from other quarters have also been very trifling this month past. Prices of the article might therefore have been expected to rise more than our annexed quotations shew to be the case, but the stock of American cottons, especially uplands, was previously ample, and the state of the manufactory is so depressed by the gloom of our political relations, that both dealers and spinners have kept out of the market as much as possible, rather than pay the advance which holders require, so that the demand has lately been limited and chiefly speculative.—It is understood, however, that the dealers and spinners are now nearly out of stock, and must soon come to market, when a further rise may be looked for should the embargo continue some months, as seems expected; while on the other hand if it were unexpectedly taken off, the large supplies we should probably receive might bring down prices, especially as we have the prospect of a large import from the Brazils.—Dutch and West-India Cottons are wanted at present, and the stock small, but supplies shortly expected.—Sea Islands also rather scarce, and the quantity of Brazils on hand moderate.
Flour and Wheat.—The stock of flour is low, and little remaining of good quality;—but no disposition to make purchases of consequence for the West-Indies has yet been shewn. Some New York wheat was bought on speculation to day at 12s.—We may quote Quebec wheat at 10s. 9d. to 11s. 3d.
Timber.—The stock of timber is moderate but the dullness of trade may prevent further advance at present. We lately sold a cargo from Bath at the annexed prices. Pitch pine is very scarce, and the last choice parcel obtained 3s. 3d. Canada pine is worth 2s. 9d. to 2s. 11d. and Canada oak 3s. 7d. to 3s. 8d.
Sugar.—The supply of foreign sugars continues inconsiderable, having in the last month consisted only of 80 casks and 243 boxes, imported by an American vessel sent in under the operation of the orders in council. There is, however, little demand at present, and the extent of the outlet to the continent cannot yet be calculated upon. The last accounts are more favorable with respect to the restrictions there; but on the other hand, prices may be depressed by the proposed heavy export duty here.
Coffee.—The import of coffee from the beginning of the year now amounts to 300 casks and 1,800 bags to be added to the stock stated to be before on hand, as there has been little exported yet, except some small shipments to Sweden. The prospect depends on there appearing a sufficient safety in shipping to the continent as the season advances.

WHEREAS, it is represented to the board of Directors, that many persons who have heretofore been members of the Mutual Assurance Society against Fire on Buildings of the state of Virginia, who have ever been attached to the principles on which it is founded but for causes now no longer existing, had withdrawn from the same, are now desirous of again becoming members thereof.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years have been acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
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, 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 one 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.

Mrs. H. Lee.
From Luther Martin, Esq. late Attorney-general of the State 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 colds, coughs, 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.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Embank, Taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 13 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.

ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lapse remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious ways to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and
will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Hawness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially it was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint ; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
