Fifteen Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY, from the subscriber, last night, a mulatto man, named ANDREW, sometimes called Andrew Johnson, about 40 years of age, he is a middling bright mulatto, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, spare made, thin face, woolly head, a little inclined to hair, small ear, small eye brows and lashes, thin lips for a person of color, small beard, a pretty high forehead—there are several small spots on the inside of his left arm, and a little above the elbow are two small scars about an inch apart—he is a very smart active fellow, and can do almost any kind of work—he is excessively fond of liquor and will seldom be sober if he can get it, and when drunk is very stupid. He had on when he went away an old short coat and pantaloons of black superfine cloth, an old spotted waistcoat, ozanburg shirt and an old white hat, but as he took other clothes with him he will probably change his dress. He has a wife at Mrs. Fendall's farm in Fairfax county, about 5 miles from Alexandria, where it is probable he may be harbored by her at night, and skulk about the neighboring woods through the day. I will give the above reward for delivering the said runaway to me in Alexandria, if taken without the counties of Alexandria & Fairfax, and FIVE DOLLARS if taken within either of the said counties.

Messrs. Editors, Should you think the following worthy of an insertion, it is much at your service.
In life's gay dawn how flattering hope be- guiles; The prospect brightens, while she sweetly smiles. We forward look for scenes of bliss and joy, But ah! she flatters only to destroy.
See yon poor wretch, who shiv'ring begs re- lief: See on his cheek the humid drops of grief; With feeble steps he slowly onward goes: No friend to cherish, or to soothe his woes.
Perhaps on him, when fortune beam'd her ray, He cheerly smil'd and drove dull cares away: In his calm breast no gloomy thoughts arose, When on his humble couch he sought repose.
Mark the reverse: now weak, infirm and poor, He begs a scanty meal from door to door. Thus 'tis with all—when in the days of youth We heed nor mark not this unerring truth— "Our sorrows strengthen, whilst our years encroach, "Nought but the grave can give a lasting peace!"
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
PEACE OR WAR ON THE CONTINENT.
Our latest London paper contains the following observations on this interesting subject:
"The Hamburgh, Paris, and Frankfort papers which we received yesterday, are interesting, though they communicate no one fact of great importance with which we were not previously acquainted. They do not enable us to state with certainty whether peace will be concluded or hostilities recommenced.—No notifications of the termination of the armistice seems to have been given—and if we were asked to which side our opinion leans, we should say, that peace appears more likely to be signed than war to be renewed.—At the same time the negotiations have certainly continued longer than we thought they would. From the papers which we have received we collect nothing but what is vague, doubtful and contradictory. One says that the negotiations are going on at Raab, another that they are to be transferred to Altenburgh, in Hungary—one assures us that Champagny has gone to Raab to fix the last basis of the peace; another mentions a congress, at which both Russia and this country are invited to send ministers. The latter seems to be the most liable to doubt of all—Bonaparte will make peace with Austria without the intervention of any power. It is not improbable, however, that she has attempted to interest the emperor Alexander in her behalf, and to convince him that it is not for the advantage of Russia that the Austrian power should be reduced to the same state of feebleness and impotence to which Prussia has been reduced. The delay may have been occasioned by some such step; nor that there is any likelihood of the emperor Alexander's acceding to the demand of Austria, nor of Bonaparte's being turned from his purpose, even if the emperor Alexander should see that it is his interest to prevent the utter ruin of the Austrian power. Alexander has lost the opportunity of interfering with effect. He will be made use of as one of the instruments to destroy Austria, and then his turn will come.—His destruction only is delayed till Bonaparte has consummated the ruin of his nearest neighbors. He will then find that the generosity of the Corsican very much resembles the generosity of the Cyclops—that it consists merely in a respite from execution."
"The march of fresh French troops across the Rhine into Germany, is considered by some as an indication of the resumption of hostilities. It may be so: but may it not be also with a view of intimidating Austria into an acquiescence with his demands, by the display of an increased force which it may be hopeless to resist?"
"We shall now turn from a subject on which the foreign papers afford us little or no information, to a subject upon which they furnish us with intelligence which we shall
be glad to find incorrect. The Tyrolese are said to have been subdued—brave and injured race! But by the anxious enumeration of the force employed against them, we see that their subjugation has been a work of difficulty—Had the same spirit pervaded every part of Germany!—Indeed it was rapidly pervading it when the Armistice broke the heart of the insurrection, and sealed the ruin of the Continent."
"We have examined all the articles relative to the preparations making to resist our Expedition. The amount of troops collected from Antwerp to Bergen-op-Zoom is estimated at 40,000 men. The city cannot, say they be attacked on the land side, on account of the inundations which can be had recourse to. The main body of the enemy's troops is between Ossendrecht and Santvliet. Louis Bonaparte's head quarters are at Bergen-op-Zoom."
From the Connecticut Mirror.
REFLECTIONS ON THE STATE OF EUROPE.
France has resembled a vast volcano, which pours its destructive lava over the neighboring districts, and is constantly extending the circle of its devastations still wider. Indeed the whole sum of wretchedness and misery which her ambition has produced exceeds all powers of description. It may help us however to form some just notions of it, if we consider attentively the following account of the deplorable calamities of a former war in Germany taken from Schiller's history.
"In places which had formerly possessed plenty and happiness," (says Schiller) "and over which thousands of people were spread, nothing but devastation was now to be seen; the fields abandoned by the industrious husbandman, lay waste and uncultivated, and where a young crop or a smiling harvest appeared, a march of soldiers destroyed the fruits of a twelve-months labor. Burned castles and villages in ashes, lay upon all sides, the melancholy objects of contemplation, while their plundered inhabitants repaired to join an army of incendiaries, and thus retaliate upon their fellow citizens that fate, of which they themselves had been the first victims. In order to avoid oppression, recourse was had to violence. The towns groaned under the licentiousness of unprincipled garrisons, who squandered the property of the inhabitants, and exercised the utmost disorders. While the march of an army laid waste an entire country, or plundered it by winter quarters, the industry of a whole year was effaced by the ravages of a month. The fate of such as had a garrison within their walls, or in their neighborhood, was the most unhappy, because the victors trod in the footsteps of the vanquished, and no greater indulgence was to be expected from friends than from enemies. All these different calamities brought want and hunger to their utmost pitch, and the miseries of the latter years were increased by a scarcity. The crowding of people in camps and quarters, want upon one side, and excess on the other, occasioned contagious distempers, which were more fatal than the sword. All the bonds of social life were dissolved in this universal confusion; the respect for order, the fear of the laws, the purity of morals and of religion, were lost under the weight of an iron sceptre. Anarchy and impunity disdained every law, and men became ferocious according as their country was wasted. No situation was longer respected, no property was secured from plunder. The soldier, in a word, reigned, and that most brutal of despots often made his superiors experience his own power."
The interesting nature of this extract will be deemed, I presume a sufficient excuse for its length. Reader, peruse it attentively. View it as a real picture of the calamities of war. Learn from it to appreciate the happiness of a state of peace; and learn from it also to sympathize with the millions of our fellow beings who have lately suffered and are even now suffering miseries as great as those which were described by the pen of Schiller.
Who can contemplate, without strong emotions, the blood stained fields of Europe, the destruction of her towns and villages, the slaughter of her inhabitants, the wretchedness of innumerable multitudes, who, though they have escaped the edge of the sword, are bereaved of their relations, stripped of their property, and reduced to poverty and want—and all this to gratify the ambition of one man. Napoleon! how many mothers has thy sword made childless.—How many widows, how many orphans are in the train of thy bloody conquests. How many are now among the dead, who, but for thee might have enjoyed still the light of day. How many are now pining in misery
and pinched with want, who but for thee might have been in ease and affluence.—What tears have gushed from a thousand eyes, what groans have been poured forth from a thousand bosoms, which thy ambition has caused!
But does France really enjoy the fruits of her victories, of her conquests and of her triumphs? While her emperor is bathing his sword in the blood of the nations, is France happy? No: the blows from her mighty arm which have crushed the nations, recoil upon herself; and providentially, she is made to drink a portion of the cup of bitterness that she prepared for others. France herself is suffering a part of the miseries produced by Napoleon's ambition. "A constant state of warfare has drained off the men, so as to leave agriculture as well as commerce in a languishing state." By means of that horrible instrument of tyranny, the conscription, "all the males in the empire, married and unmarried, between the full age of twenty & twenty five years," are constantly liable to be dragged into actual service, and to be sent on distant expeditions. The flower of the nation, the young men, are seized by the ministers of tyranny, the married are torn from the bleeding bosoms of their wives, from the embraces of their needy babes, the unmarried from the arms of their weeping parents, sisters and brothers, and are hurried away into distant lands, there to fight, there to die—and for what? Not for their country, but for the glory of the Corsican usurper. Their adieu to their friends, is generally a final adieu; they part to meet no more.
....."Alas! "Nor wife, nor children, more shall (they) behold, "Nor friends, nor sacred home."
While Napoleon is bringing one nation after another under the French yoke, he is actually weakening France. Her life-blood has been wasting. Her fleets are swept from the ocean. Her fields and her vineyards lie uncultivated. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of her young men have been slain by the sword, or have perished with sickness in foreign countries; and she seems to be brought very near to that point of sufferance beyond which the people will never go, under even the most despotic government.
In so far as the sufferings of the French may tend to weaken the power and restrain the ambition of the bloody Corsican, their sufferings are a subject of gratulation; in other points of view, they deserve compassion. It were better that France should suffer than that the world should be subjugated by her; but it were much better yet, that France should cease from troubling the other nations, and be happy at home. We do not detest France, we do not detest Frenchmen; but we detest the cruelties and abominations of the leaders of the French revolution; we detest the insatiable ambition and bloody measures of Napoleon. In the bosom of France there are doubtless many amiable, many virtuous and pious people, thousands, hundreds of thousands, nay millions, who are innocent of the blood which has been shed by her tyrants.
Translated for the Freeman's Journal.
His excellency and most illustrious Viceroy and archbishop of the kingdom of Mexico, Don Francisco Le Zuna de Beaumont, has ordered the following proclamation to be published the 26th of July, 1809.
INHABITANTS OF NEW SPAIN!
I have been promoted, without having wished for it, to the supreme government of these vast and precious dominions by the Providence of God and by the grace of Ferdinand VII. our king, represented by the Supreme Central Junta now governing Spain and the Indies. I find myself now united to you by bonds more sacred and inseparable, at least more public and universal than those which united me before as your metropolitan archbishop.
My sons and my flock, belonging to my venerable suffragans!
Till now, your eternal happiness has been the principal object of my love, my prayers, and my tears. Henceforward, your temporal felicity will engross my particular attention, and will be the object of my thoughts and my cares. You were before, all my sons in Jesus Christ: I shall now also be your father in the name of the king. Yes, this name, among the many which corresponds with the dignity and office of viceroy, is the one which I will adopt among you all, while I manage the reins of government which I have taken in my trembling hands: because, having in meekness and humility borne the shepherd's pastoral crook, it would be intolerable presumption in me to grasp the sword of viceroyalty with too much arrogance and confidence. Never-
theless, I have accepted it as a good Spaniard, in obedience to the supreme authority which has confided it to me. I have obeyed; not only for the purpose of giving you all an example of duty and obedience, but also to show that I have not degenerated, by a scandalous distance, from your native character, which is docile and obedient.
Inhabitants of Spanish America!
A follower of the Apostles and a viceroy of the Spanish monarch, does not know, nor ought to know, any sort of exaltation. I am a witness of your heroic fidelity, and will be the praiser of your truly patriotic Spanish virtues. And if with the enormous weight with which my shoulders are loaded, my soul is not dismayed, it is because I confide in the mercies of Heaven so abundantly showered on the Spanish nation, and which I hope to obtain by your religious deportment. I rely also on the advice of those respected ministers of the king, of whose knowledge, integrity and zeal, I have the most unshakable testimony: together with the prudent counsels of my dear and venerable brothers the suffragans of this metropolis, and on the prayers of all the regular and secular clergy of this kingdom. I rely, likewise, on the honor and experience of the military chiefs, and on the valor and loyalty of the numerous and brilliant army of the kingdom of New Spain; as well as in the zeal, integrity and experience of the directors and officers of the royal treasury, in all their vast and important branches. I entirely confide in the docility, obedience and peaceableness of you all, beloved sons and subjects of Ferdinand VII. Did I not thus confide in you, what else could I expect from me, weak man, infirm, and borne down with the weight of the nation, than an immediate and determined renunciation of the reins of government. But I will do it, while my king and my country demand my few services. To them I willingly sacrifice my repose, and even if it was demanded, my life.
Spanish Americans!
Justice, mercy and peace, will be my companions, that by them you may cultivate all happiness. Endeavor to cultivate the arts and sciences in your houses and in your provinces, and carefully attend to whatever will promote the interests of agriculture and the commerce of the mines. And if, rashness, the barbarous & impious Frenchmen should dare to invade our country, I will immediately grasp the sword, I will put myself at the head of your soldiers, I will defend your houses and possessions, and I will drive away the cruel and perfidious enemies that would presume to disturb your repose, in the same manner as the archbishops of Toledo, Rodriguez, Mendezas and Cisneros, have done before, and as has been done latterly by the venerable bishop of St. Andero.
Inhabitants of this Kingdom!
The glory of God and of his holy religion, the interests of Ferdinand VII. and the nation, and your individual happiness and tranquility, will be the sole objects of my attention, and the only ends to which my decrees will be directed. Be not afraid that intrigue and influence will have any share in my government. I have most willingly delivered up, for the urgencies of the crown, all that I possessed over and above my Episcopal income. I will like wise, with pleasure, do the same with the salary appertaining to me as Viceroy. Yes, generous patriots, our common mother is in want of our succors to finish, with glory, the great work she has in hand; and thanks be to Heaven, it has much advanced, and she hopes to attain it by our love and gratitude. Continue then, your donations in abundance, remain united in the sweet bonds of union and peace, and assist your mother Spain to wipe away before the face of the world, and for all ages, that black and horrible calumny, which the intruder and false king Joseph published last March in Madrid to deceive all the provinces of Spain and all Europe—that this kingdom was burning with intestine divisions. On WICKED! Know that the Spanish blood never degenerated by having crossed the Atlantic ocean, nor does it lose spirit and energy in America. Here are worthy sons and grandsons of the conquerors of Baylen, and of the heroes of Saragossa, Valencia, and of the heroes of Catalonia, Asturias, Galicia and Estremadura, and of all the provinces of Spain. We have in America brothers and descendants of those who there confounded you with their arms, with their loyalty, and even with their last breath. Tremble now at the name of the Spanish Americans, who if they have not an opportunity of carrying on the war against you sword in hand, do with their FIDELITY and their MONEY which they have sent in abundance to their brothers for your destruction.

Inhabitants of this kingdom? I have given to you the thoughts and the ideas with which the archbishop of Mexico commences his government as Viceroy.—But I cannot depart from the character of being the successor of the disciples of Jesus Christ, who is the Supreme King of Kings, and I therefore salute you with the last words which they heard from the blessed mouth of their Divine Master:—“ Peace be with you; I am he, be not afraid. ” THE ARCHBISHOP, VICE-ROY. Royal Palace of Mexico, July 29, 1809. MANUEL MERINO, Sec’y.

It is with sincere regret we announce the death of BERNARD HOOE, jun. Esq. of Prince William county, Virginia. In consequence of an affray which had taken place between that gentleman and a Mr. KEMP, of the same county, a challenge ensued, and the parties met on the Maryland shore on Friday morning last, and on the first fire both were wounded—Mr. Hooe’s proved mortal and he expired the same evening.
Thus has an amiable woman been suddenly deprived of an affectionate husband, a large family of children of a tender parent, and the community of one of its most valuable members, by that stigma upon civilized society, the practice of Duelling .
Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house in Liverpool to another in New York, received by the Pacific. “LIVERPOOL, Sept. 2, 1809.
“We annex the actual currency for your chief exports, assuring you that more encouraging quotations are at present merely nominal, and not at all to be justified by the tone of our market.
“Whilst we are fully convinced that, as far as it is practicable, the course of American policy will be unalterably pacific, we are not without our fears that the intercourse will again be suspended. The partial repeal of our orders in council, and the mild character of our constructive blockade, may if skilfully and temperately urged, lead to a happy issue; but knowing that the sentiment of the British minister is lofty and unwise “that America will—America must submit” we apprehend that Mr. Jackson’s instructions are not quite so conciliatory as the novelty and oppression of the case, as well as the vital interests at stake, so evidently and powerfully demanded.
“Our next advices, which may be expected to announce Mr. Jackson’s arrival, are looked to with a degree of anxiety never before witnessed; and whilst any pause in the intercourse, however short its duration, would clearly and materially enhance the prices of produce, our present quotations certainly could not make a stand against the strong hope of an early adjustment of subsisting differences.
“Unfortunately for our country there is a warlike character in our councils, which is totally adverse to any permanent arrangement; and sooner or later this spirit, if not laid by the nation, will seek an opportunity of discharging itself upon America. Even where the interests of America are concurrent with the measures of Britain, the disposition is never allowed to grace the act; and the English minister, with a degree of asperity which is without precedent and without apology, shamelessly avows that the good which was done to America by his measures, was undesigned by government! How can we ultimately look to peace from an administration where the desire of doing good, from a good motive, is renounced in the most profligate manner?
“It is very clear that the government of America and England have not yet come together with that earnestness, or understood each other with that precision, which the magnitude of the object, the very nature of the discussion, and above all, the distant position of the two nations, so pre-eminently demanded. We will further venture to assert, without any qualification or condition whatever, that Mr. Erskine is not the only member of the diplomatic tribe who has incurred the displeasure, or forfeited the confidence of his government.
“Affixed to our quotations we have given some brief notices of the state and prospects of our market; but our trade is so completely suspended upon the issues of political discussion, that it is difficult, if not quite impossible, to form an opinion with any sort of accuracy. That Mr. Madison will act towards England as France with
temper, moderation and firmness, we have no doubt whatever; but the points in discussion are of the most delicate and vital nature. What can be the equivalents for the honor—for any portion of the honor, or just neutrality of a nation? Our conviction is, that if you do not contend, you will seek in vain for ample justice from France or England; and the question then will be unable to obtain justice from either, will you, upon the cold doctrine of prudence or necessity, submit to a system of impartial rigor, insult and oppression from both? The position of America gives her strength, and though in distinct and different points, she, perhaps, is unequal to other nations, still she may be honest to herself. This, in our opinion, is the great question, even if the dispute should, for a time, be patched up, which must arrest the attention of the next Congress. The representatives of America we think will do their duty; but, after what is past, should they in a temporizing spirit, or with those compliances of which Europe furnishes an ample catalogue of examples, comprise the neutral rights, honors and advantages of their country, then we are convinced they will find at home a power more fatal to them than England and France, or even France and England united. We have been reluctantly led into these political speculations from a strong conviction of their importance, and from the unalterable belief that however our commerce may fluctuate under the vicissitudes of the negotiation, it is the discussions in Congress which must give a firm and ultimate turn to our market: The balance of probabilities in our opinion decidedly inclines to a very material though perhaps not to an immediate advance, in the prices of all your export articles.

Of cotton we calculate that there are about 83,000 bags in this port. At a fraction below the market price, the speculators offer to take any quantity, even on board; the dealers continue to buy sparingly.
On the 31st of last month, (August) we had 3615 hhd. tobacco in store, and 1615 on board. At our present quotations, a disposition to speculate begins to shew itself and prices are not expected to go down.
Staves have a free sale ex-ship. Pot ashes are rather dull, but for pearls the demand is steady.
Our corn market is brisk, and flour, rice, and wheat likely to advance, under the awful prospect of a limited, a late, and an injured harvest.
Naval stores are all freely bought up on arrival, and our warlike relations with the north are likely to effect a further advance.
Timber continues to have a regular demand; our stock however having lately received a considerable accession, no immediate advance can well be calculated upon. A depression is not dreaded.

FRENCH ROBBERY.
The following extract of a letter details a new instance of French plunder and cruelty. In introducing the article to his readers, the editor of the Wilmington (N. C.) Gazette, thus pertinently remarks:
“In this flagrant instance of robbery and cruelty, we may read the certain fate of every American vessel which shall fall into the power of the French. Extensive as their plundering acts have actually been, they bear no proportion to what their piratical spirit would perpetrate, if their power were only equal to their inclination, and yet some of our oracular politicians pretend that the French are fighting for the freedom of the seas. ”
Extract of a letter, dated St. Bartholomews, 16th August, from Benjamin Perkins, supercargo on board the ship Perseverance, of this port, to Mr. Thomas N. Gaultier, owner.  DEAR SIR,  We left Grenada on the 4th inst. and pursued our voyage in safety for Wilmington, N. C. until the 8th instant, when we were boarded by a small privateer boat schooner, and carried into French St. Martin’s. Captain Oliver was so ill treated that I despaired of his life for a number of days. He was better when I left him. I was treated with the utmost inhumanity; often my life was threatened with a pistol at my breast, and a drawn cutlass over my head, and the crew beat with it. Nothing can equal their cruelty towards myself and crew—they were worse than barbarous. I yesterday crossed over from the French to the Dutch quarter of St. Martin’s (Great Bay.) I left there this morning, and arrived here about three o’clock, P. M. The cargo of the ship has been landed, and the ship dismantled.
* The ship and cargo are stated to be worth $20,000.
HALLOWELL, (Mss.) Oct. 4.
Insurrection. —We are in a most unhappy situation in this part of the country, for we are in a state of actual rebellion. You have no doubt heard of a murder committed some weeks back by some squatters, and that eight men who did the act are in goal. For some time we were told they would be rescued; but the report was treated with contempt, until Friday night, 29th September, between the hours of 12 and 1, when we were roused by the cries of MURDER and FIRE! Before I could get out of bed, a military notification was read to me to appear armed and equipped in three minutes at the gun house. When I got into the street every thing was in confusion. I found that the artillery had gone to Augusta; and part of our company mounted on horseback had also proceeded. We remained on our arms until the dawn of the morning. Saturday a strong guard turned out and we were pretty quiet. On Sunday night the alarm commenced at 10 o’clock, and positive information, was received of a considerable body of the enemy, within a few miles of Augusta; so we remained during the night. Monday I was drafted, and marched at 7 in the evening. Stood on guard 6 hours, on one of the roads about a mile from the settlement.
Tuesday night we hoped that the force was so great we should have some rest, but it was the worst of all. About midnight the Augusta bell began to ring; (the signal for their being attacked) we could distinctly hear the guns. The small part of our company that had been left behind were immediately ordered to march—the alarm guns were fired to bring up the troops from Gardner. On our arrival, we found the guards had been driven in, except four; who were captured within a few miles of Augusta bridge. They resisted until overpowered by a party of 50 or 60. In the fray, some were wounded; unfortunately the main body at the goal were not strong enough to reinforce the party attacked; they were left to struggle for themselves. Major Weeks who had rendered himself very conspicuous for his exertions in rousing the well affected part of the county to support the government and laws, mounted his horse and rode to the bridge. He was seized and dragged into the woods, and threatened to be hanged; but fortunately made his escape. A regular force of about 400 troops is kept at Augusta, and I am obliged to hire a man to be there, and at the same time to patrol the streets here; for we are in great danger of being set on fire, in order to confine the people here, and prevent their going to
Augusta in case of alarm. It is supposed that the insurgents are from 1,000 to 1,500 strong, and the disaffection rapidly spreading. Gen. Scwall has sent on to the governor for orders.”

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
(Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Baltimore street, two doors above south Gay-street.
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently affected with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms appeared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT.
Michael Duffy, residing at No. 47, Walkers street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven and two girls the one five, and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.

Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799.
Philadelphia, August 5, 1806.
TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it relieved me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. I have since given them to my children, and can speak from experience, that they are a most valuable medicine, and am happy to add my testimony to numberless others of their efficacy.
SARAH JOHNSON, No. 140, north Second Street.
Among the symptoms attending Worms are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—bad and corrupted gums—itching in
the nose, and about the seat—convulsions epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging with slimy and foetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thigh, with lowness of spirits—slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS , Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern sea ports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny.
During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, WM. DEVENNY,

The whole house is elegantly furnished, and to a person who takes the lease, the greater part of the furniture will be sold on the most reasonable terms.
