Late Foreign Intelligence.
Further Extracts from papers received by the ship Dumfries , captain Beard from Liverpool , arrived at Norfolk .
LONDON, March 24.
The duke of Portland would find it a very difficult task to make out his new list, if talents were to be the standard of official rank; but as these are out of the question, it is easy to put down a number of names; and when the catalogue is completed, the offices may be assigned with as little difficulty; so that the Burlington administration may be considered rather as a collection than a selection ; for there can be no choice where the materials are alike. The new arrangement, it is said, will be ready on Wednesday next. When that list is presented, will the inhabitants of Ireland find a sir John Newport, or a Bedford, &c. in it? or any of those exalted characters who sympathized with their distresses and poured balm into their wounds?
The people of this country have been accustomed, in every change, to look for talents, rank, landed property, and high personal connections in each successive administration. Men might be changed, but those proud distinctions were immutable—they raised this country in the eyes of foreign nations, and inspired their cabinets with a confidence in ours, the value of which, in a national point of view, cannot be too highly appreciated.
The earl of Hardwicke, whose vice-regal administration in Ireland, was so judiciously tempered and nicely balanced as to render his name dear to the people of that country, in his anxiety for the welfare of that part of the united kingdom, as inseparably interwoven with the prosperity of the whole, waited on Saturday, on his majesty at Windsor, and, as an hereditary counsellor of the crown, desired an audience to represent the agitation which this measure is likely to produce in Ireland. The king, we are told, received him with great politeness. Let the result of his representation be what it may, his lordship will have the consolation of having discharged an important duty. Lord Elden was immediately admitted to the closet.
The earl of Chatham arrived in town from Belvoir Castle yesterday morning, where, it is said, he had been for the purpose of offering the duke of Rutland the lord lieutenancy of Ireland. His lordship will have a seat in the cabinet.
There are several lists in circulation; some of them appear to have been drawn as it were by lottery , and perhaps they are those that will come nearest the real one. In a scramble for power and places, men of pertinacity and presumption will take the lead, and aspire to situations for which they were never intended by nature or education.
With respect to the cause of this unexpected change, we are too short-sighted to discover the policy of rejecting the services of a great proportion of our own countrymen, whose interests are the same with our own, who must rejoice at every thing which benefits our country, and grieve at every thing which hurts it, and of accepting of the services of strangers, of Hanoverians, and importing into England men whose interest have no natural connection with ours, who might easily be made to feel an interest in turning their swords against us, as well as against any foreign nation. We refuse to accept the services of our Catholic brethren, but do we refuse their money? Have we any scruple to tax them because of their religious sentiments? In other parts of the empire we even accept of the military services of the Hindoos, Negroes, and Mahometans, and make laws to protect them in the exercise of their religious rites! Is it of the British and Irish alone, of whom we must remain forever jealous, whom we can never regard as our countrymen and brethren?
Mr. Percival's speech on the Catholic question is supposed to have instigated this total change in his majesty's councils; he is to have his former office of attorney-general, in which he will, no doubt, be ready to make any discontent that may appear in Ireland on the rejection of the measure now before parliament, a pretext for those strong measures which he voluntarily offered, in his observations on the opening speech of the present session, to those with whom he would trust with nothing else, in order to suppress some trifling disturbances, of which we have never since heard more. The man who makes so light of the establishment of martial law and of the suspension of the habeas corpus act (for these are the well known interpretation of strong measures with re-
spect to Ireland) cannot be regarded, in a situation such as that of attorney general, without a painful apprehension of fresh inroads on the constitution, and a dread of the renewal of those horrid legal cruelties, the bare remembrance of which is sufficient to make justice and humanity shudder.
It is expected that lord Howick will this evening be called on, in the house of commons, to give his promised explanation of the cause of this political convulsion, which seems to shake the empire to its centre. [Statesman]
Let our immediate circumstances be affected as they may, we trust in the good sense of the Irish nation to diminish the effect of any unwholesome disappointment whatever, by every thing that has taken place to disturb the cordiality of the cabinet, yet we hope no serious disunion will result out of it. The fate of this empire and indeed of Europe, is now in the hands of the present administration. If they break up, upon any point of domestic policy—if war with adverse opinions they desert their posts, and commit to chance the destinies of their own and of other nations with which they are entrusted; who is bold enough to look at the probable result unmoved;—important as the intended measures of the present ministers are to our prosperity and happiness, yet in the vast scale of human interests, confided to them at this most critical of all junctures, they are comparatively small; and if any unfortunate schism should disable them from duly performing the efforts necessary for the general deliverance of Europe, all must be engulfed, and parties, sects, factions, nations and empires, perish in a common ruin. [Dublin pap.]
Since our last, French papers to the 9th, and Dutch to the 14th inst. inclusive, have arrived, but their contents are not of great importance. It is said the towns of Elbing, Marienbourg and Marienwerder, have been again occupied by the French, who are also in possession of the whole of the coast along the gulph of Frisch-haff; but no considerable body of troops had arrived in the suburbs of Dantzic, for the purpose of commencing the siege of that city. The reduction of Graudentz was, it was understood to be effected before regular approaches were made against Dantzic. A large detachment of the Bavarian army and a corps of 6,000 Saxons, were on the point of marching to join the grand army in Poland. A body of three hundred Russians taken prisoners at the battle of Polotsk, arrived the latter end of February at Cassel, on their way to Mentz. A great number of troops from Italy was on their march through the Tyrol for the purpose of effecting a junction with the Grand Army.
CONTINENT OF EUROPE.
BERLIN, March 6.
Official accounts from the head quarters at Osterode dated the 28th of February state, that all accounts concur in estimating the loss of the Russians in the battle of Eylau, at 20 generals and 900 officers, partly killed and partly wounded, and at 30,000 men disabled from further service. In the battle of Ostrolenka on the 16th of Feb. 2 Russian generals were killed and 3 wounded.
The army has gone into cantonments behind the Passarge. The left wing inclines to Marienwerder and Elbing, where the country presents many sources of accommodation.
A Russian division advanced towards Braunsberg, which lies at the point of our cantonments. The emperor gave orders that they should be attacked and the prince of Ponte Corvo, commissioned the meritorious general Dupont, to carry these orders into effect. On the 26th of February at two in the afternoon general Dupont appeared before Braunsberg, attacked the strong division of the enemy, defeated them with the bayonet and drove them out of the town and back over the Passarge. He took 16 pieces of cannon, two standards, and 2,000 prisoners. Our loss in killed was trifling.
On the side of Glustadt gen. Lieger Belair, marched on the 25th at break of day to Peterswalde, having learned that a Russian column had arrived there in the night. He attacked it and took prisoners the general baron Korff, several lieut. cols. and officers and 400 men. This brigade was composed of ten battalions which had suffered so much that it had not more than 1600 men under arms.
General Dombrowsky advanced against the Garrison of Dantzic. He fell in with it near Dirschen, took six hundred prisoners, and seven pieces of cannon, and pur-
sued it several leagues sword in hand. Marshal Lefebvre came up with the 10th corps, which he commands; he was joined by the Saxons, and marched to invest Dantzic.
[Hamburg Cor. March 11.]
March 13.
The object of the Russians, in passing the Lower Vistula, seems to have been to relieve the fortresses on this side, and to retake this city. So great has been their infatuation, that notwithstanding one defeat has followed close upon another, they could not persuade themselves to relinquish it. According to accounts from the head quarters at Osterode, of the 6th, the Russians again approached the Passarge in force. The emperor, however, gave orders for some of the corps to pass that river, and the enemy was driven ten leagues backward, and he was pursued with such energy, that he seemed to think the object of the French was to attack Konigsberg. To that place, therefore, the enemy fled with precipitation. The badness of the roads extremely favored the enemy, as the French cavalry was considerably impeded. The latter, therefore, contented themselves with driving back the enemy, and returned to their position. On the seventh all was quiet again.
As the late operations have been the cause of his majesty remaining so far from Warsaw, it is thought that the diplomatic corps will come hither. It is even meant to insinuate, that it is not impossible but that as soon as the winter quarters are settled, his majesty will return to this capital.

TO CONTE RASUMOUSKY.*
Extract from the dispatches of general Essen, dated 31st Jan. (12th Feb.) 1807, received 6th Feb. (18th.)
"I hasten to communicate to your excellency the happy intelligence which I have just received from general Benningsen. Bonaparte attacked him on the 18th instant, (N. S.) with all his forces, near Eylau; but he met with so obstinate a resistance, that he was obliged to renounce his purpose, with a loss which is estimated at 25,000 men. Gen. Benningsen has marched to Wittenberg, in order to replenish himself with ammunition.
"On my part, I attacked on the 3d instant (N. S.) the corps opposed to me—They were defeated on the whole line. The enemy, having been reinforced afterwards by the army of reserve under Oudinot, appeared desirous to attack me, but I shall do this myself to-morrow, and I hope that God will bless our arms."
[No. 2]
Extract from the report of general Benningsen, dated the 11th Feb. (N. S.) 1807, received 18th Feb. (N. S.)
Wittenburgh, Feb. 11.
"Having been informed that the enemy had collected all his forces at Allenstein, I advanced with all mine. Being arrived at Jaakow, I was attacked there on my left wing, and drove the enemy back. The same was done also in every direction on my right wing—however, the engagement was prevented from becoming general by the approach of night.
"I then resolved to change my direction, in order to cover the city of Konigsberg, which was the point at which all the endeavors of Bonaparte were aimed. I thus drew the enemy along my side, and my rear continued fighting six days successively.
"At length being arrived on the 7th instant (N. S.) at Preussisch Eylau, I halted and waited his approach. He attacked me, and entered into the town, which was in my front. As our forces could no longer resist those opposed to them, I despatched a part of my reserve against them, and advanced myself to the attack.
"The town was re-taken in an instant, and two battalions of the enemy, which had not time to escape, were in part cut to pieces or taken, together with two colors. In the evening I evacuated the town secretly, in the expectation that the enemy would send a body of troops on the other side of it, in order to attack my centre, which, in fact, took place during the night.
"At the break of day I directed a part of my artillery against the French column; it was thrown into disorder, and forced to draw back. Bonaparte himself then attacked me on all points, at the head of four corps of his army and of his guards. He was every where repulsed and completely beaten. He renewed the attack with his guards repeatedly, but whole columns of
* Russian ambassador.
infantry, and regiments de Cuirassiers d'Elite , were nearly annihilated by the fire from our line, charges from our cavalry, and at the points of our bayonets.
"I estimate the loss of the enemy at more than 25,000 men. We have captured 20 stand of colors, and made 2,000 prisoners. I shall cause this preliminary report to be followed by a detailed relation of the battle, which I shall lay at the feet of his majesty the emperor."
BANKS OF THE ELBE, March 7.
(Extract of a letter.)
"The reports respecting the retreat of Bonaparte, which are current, and which gain general belief, are in some measure supported by the French accounts, contained in the late Hamburg papers. The French pretend that their soldiers are under the very walls of Konigsberg (which, it is notorious, cannot stand a regular siege) yet confess that their head quarters are at Osterode, taking care to mention the place in common with Elbing and Leibstat, which are not at so great a distance from the object of their wishes; and such we must presume Konigsberg to be, where every kind of stores are to be found. We know too, from the French accounts, that, after the battle of Eylau, they were so much in want of provisions as to order a supply to be sent from Posen to Thorn.
"The reports of last night were, that the French head quarters were at Thorn; and this, it is said, is asserted in letters as well from Berlin as from Copenhagen.
"The same reports, which I cannot indeed trace to any satisfactory authority, but which obtain credit, go to the extent of affirming that Bonaparte proposed an armistice to Benningsen, which was peremptorily refused.
"It seems to be the object of the Russians, regardless of their own loss, to exhaust the enemy, whose situation thus becomes every day more critical; for surely neither the new conscripts nor the forced auxiliaries of Saxony can supply the place of the choicest troops of Bonaparte which, according to Benningsen's report, are falling every day.
"In the mean while Germany lies open to any assailant; and it is not easy to say how small a force would not be sufficient to arouse the immense population of Germany against their enemies. The Swedes are collecting in great numbers at Stralsund; and Russia, Hanover and Westphalia are left almost without troops. The appearance of a British force in this neighborhood is rather longed for than expected. In the mean while Austria maintains her commanding but dubious position.
"On Sunday the 1st, a Te Deum was commanded to be sung by the commandant of Stettin, but the order was suddenly countermanded. French officers have, it is said, confessed that the expectations raised by the victory of the 8th have not been gratified, and extreme want prevails in the French army."
BALTIMORE, May 13.
Arrived the brig Venus , Prior from Martinique, and 22 days from Dominique.

February 20, in a violent gale off Bourbon, lost her foremast, bowsprit and mainmast. 14th spoke Bramin , Singleton, from Bengal for Philadelphia, who supplied her with a topsail yard. The British brig Huron , Findley, arrived at Cape of Good Hope, with the loss of topsail & most of her sails in the gale off Bourbon, in which she parted company with the Bleheim of 74 guns and Batavia frigate, and it is supposed they were either dismasted or lost. Left at the Cape of Good Hope ship Pekin of Philadelphia, to sail in two days for Madras. Met an American ship going into the Cape as the Oriental came out.

FROM THE SALMAGUNDI, PRINTED IN NEW-YORK.
Letter from Mustapha Rub a Dub Keki Khan, captain of a ketch, to Anson Hacchem, principal slave driver to his highness the bashaw of Tripoli.
THOU wilt learn from this letter, most illustrious disciple of Mahomet, that I have for some time resided in N York, the most polished vast and magnificent city of the U. S. of America. But what to me are its delights! I wander a captive thro' its splendid streets. I turn a heavy eye on every rising day that beholds me banished from my country. The Christian husband relames a most bitterly any short absence from home, though they leave but one wife behind; to lament their departure—what must be the feelings of thy unhappy slave, while thus lingering at an immeasurable distance from three and twenty of the most lovely and obedient wives in all Tripoli! Oh Allah! Shall thy servant return to his native land, nor behold his beloved wives, who beam on his memory as beautiful as the rosy morn of the east, and graceful as Mahomet's camel!
Yet beautiful wives, they are far exceeded by the women of this country. Even those who run about the streets with bare arms and necks ( et cætera ) whose habiliments are too scanty to protect them either from the inclemency of the season, or the scrutinizing glances of the curious, and who it would seem belong to nobody, are lovely as the Houri that people the elysium of true believers. If, then, such as run wild in the highways, and whom nobody cares to appropriate, are the most beautiful, what must be the charms of those who are shut up in the seraglios, and never permitted to go abroad! Surely the revelation of beauty in the valley of the graces is in contemplation so intimately fair!
But notwithstanding the charms of these infidel women, they are apt to have one fault, which is extremely troublesome and inconvenient. Wouldst thou believe it, Asem, I have been positively assured by a famous dervise (or doctor, as he is here called) that at least one-fifth part of them have souls! Incredible as it may seem to thee, I am the more inclined to believe them possessed of this monstrous superfluity, from my own little experience, and from the information which I derived from others. In walking the streets I have actually seen an exceeding good looking woman with soul enough to box her husband's ears to his heart's content, and my very whiskers trembled with indignation at the object state of these wretched infidels. I am told moreover, that some of the women have soul enough to usurp the breeches of the men; but these I suppose are married and kept close, for I have not in my rambles, met with any so extravagantly accoutred; others I am informed have soul enough to swear and game! Yea, by the beard of the great Omar, who prayed three times to each of the one hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets of our most holy faith, and who never swore but once in his life—they actually swear!!!
Get thee to the mosque, good Asem! return harks to our most holy prophet, that he has been thus mindful of the sort of all true Musselmen, and has given them wives with no more souls than cats and dogs, and other necessary animals of the household.
Thou wilt doubtless be anxious to learn our reception in this country, and how we were treated by a people whom we have been accustomed to consider as unenlightened barbarians.
On landing, we were waited upon to our lodgings, I suppose according to the directions of the municipality, by a vast and respectable escort of boys and negroes, who shouted and threw up their hats, doubtless to honor the magnanimous Mustapha, captain of a ketch! They were somewhat ragged and dirty in their equipments, but this we attributed to their simplicity. One of them, in the zeal of admiration, threw an old shoe, which gave thy friend rather an ungentle salutation on one side of the head, whereat I was not a little offended, until the interpreter informed us that this was the customary manner in which great men were honored in this country, and that the more distinguished they were, the more were they subjected to the attacks and peltings of the mob. Upon this I bowed my head three times, with my hands to my turban, and made a speech in Arabic Greek, which gave great satisfaction, and occasioned a shower of old shoes, hats, and so forth, that was exceedingly refreshing to us all.
Thou wilt not as yet expect that I should give thee an account of the laws and poli-
tics of this country—I will reserve them for some future letter, when I shall be more experienced in their complicated and seemingly contradictory nature.
This empire is governed by a grand and most puissant bashaw, whom they dignify with the title of president. He is chosen by persons who are chosen by an assembly elected by the people—and the country free; the body politic doubtless resembling a vessel, which is best governed by a tail. The present bashaw is a very plain old gentleman, something they say of a humorist.
The people of the United States have assured me they themselves were the most enlightened nation under the sun; but thou knowest that the barbarians of the desert, who assemble at the summer solstice, to shoot their arrows at the glorious luminary, in order to extinguish his burning rays make precisely the same boast! which of them have their superior claim, I shall not attempt to decide.
I have observed, with some degree of surprize, that the men in this country do not seem in haste to accommodate themselves even with a single wife, which a lone law permits them to marry; this backwardness is probably owing to the misfortune of their absolutely having no female mules among them. Thou knowest how invaluable are these silent companions—what a price is given for them in the east, and what entertaining wives they make! what delightful entertainment arises from beholding the silent eloquence of their signs and gestures! But a wife possessed both of a tongue and a soul—monstrous! monstrous!—Is it astonishing that these unhappy infidels should shrink from a union with a woman so preposterously endowed?
Thou hast doubtless read in the works of Abul Faraj the Arabian historian the tradition which mentions that the muses were once upon the point of falling together by the ears, about the admission of a tenth among their number, until she assured them by signs, that she was dumb, whereupon they received her with great rejoicing. I should, perhaps, inform thee that there are but nine christian muses, (who were formerly Pagans, but have since been converted) and in this country we never hear of a tenth, unless some crazy poet wishes to pay an hyperbolical compliment to his mistress, on which occasion it goes hard, but she figures as a tenth muse, or fourth grace, even though she should be more illiterate than a Hottentot, and more ungraceful than a dancing bear! Since my arrival in this country, I have not met with less than a hundred of these supernumerary muses and graces; and may Allah preserve me from ever meeting with any more!
When I have studied this people more profoundly, I will write thee again; in the mean time watch over my household, and do not beat my beloved wives, unless you catch them with their noses out at the window. Though far distant, and a slave, let me live in thy heart, as thou livest in mine—not, oh friend, of my soul, that the splendors of this luxurious capitol, its gorgeous palaces, its stupendous mosques, and the beautiful females who run wild in herds about its streets, can obliterate thee from my remembrance. Thy name shall still be mentioned in the five and twenty prayers which I offer up daily; and may our great prophet, after bestowing on thee the blessings of this life, at length, in a good old age, lead thee gently by the hand, to enjoy the dignity of Bashaw of three tails, in the blissful bowers of Eden.

SATURDAY, MAY 16.
The following extract of a letter, though not of a very recent date, is handed to us for publication as containing some serviceable hints to merchants, trading to Europe. [Boston Palladium.
Hamburg. Dec. 20. 1806.
"I have finally got to this once-flourishing city. To a man of feeling the contrast between its former activity and present stagnation, must excite unpleasant sensations. Our countrymen have suffered considerably by the loss of property in the hands of British merchants, as all the property found in their possession was taken as British. It was in fact almost impossible it should be otherwise. These losses would have been avoided had they consigned their property to American houses established here. In the course of my peregrinations about Europe, I have been often surprised at the little nationality discovered by the Americans. They have in several instances suffered considerably by it without seeming to be sensible of their error. There are few places of note in Europe in which our countrymen have not made respectable mercantile establishments, who I am satisfied have managed the business which has been entrusted to them, with as much fidelity, and as beneficially, to say
the least, as any of the European houses. The consuls too have all mercantile establishments, and as far as my observation has extended, I must do them the justice to say, that they generally evince a strong desire to serve their countrymen, introduce more of honor into their business, consequently are not quite so systematick in taking an advantage of the circumstances of the times and the variation of the market, to speculate upon their consignments, without the least regard to the interest of their correspondents; and even in the ordinary course of business, I am satisfied it will be found that they have always made as good, and generally somewhat better sales than most of the European houses, and that the return cargoes have been laid in at a lower rate and of as good a quality. The neighboring kingdoms, of Denmark and Portugal, I think are now the only neutral commercial nations in Europe; how long they will remain so seems to be doubtful, but our merchants can easily avoid similar losses by placing a little more confidence in the establishments of their countrymen, should either of these kingdoms be involved in the contest."
An excellent tanning principle has been discovered by Dr. Howison, in the Mangrove Bark—400lbs. of bark are infused in 100 gallons of rain water, which after standing about 40 hours, is exposed to the sun until the liquid is concentrated by evaporation to the consistence of treacle, and then reduced by boiling to about 2 gallons, when it has the appearance of pitch. One cwt. may be made for ten or twelve shillings.
Doctor Howison, has also communicated a discovery for printing cotton cloth of a substantial black color. It is as follows:—Take Malacca nuts, which are sold in Bengal at 2s. per cwt. boil them in water in close earthen vessels with the leaves of the tree; during the boiling, a whitish substance, formed from the mucilage and oil of the nuts rises to the surface, which must be taken off and preserved. The cloth intended to be black must be printed with this scum, and then dyed; after which it is to be passed through lime water, which changes the printed figures to a full and permanent black. London paper.
MODESTY may justly be accounted either a virtue or a vice; or rather when it is blameable, a foolish bashfulness; for then it betrays us into many inconveniences. How many have been undone, because they have not had boldness enough to deny the request of a professed friend! Modesty in real friendship may be called a vice, when it lets the man we esteem run into absurdities for fear of displeasing him by telling him his faults.
In all accidents of life, a man may have too much or too little modesty; but he that has too much will always suffer the most. Foolish simplicity hurts itself; while daring impudence, in spite of all opposition, will push its way through the world. Even what is called bashfulness, is commended by all; but boldness, though it may not have so much commendation, has more reward; yet if modesty is not advantageous for profit, it is for virtue; for it is a thing contradictory in itself, to suppose, that a modest person can be a wicked one. It is certain that many had been bad had they not, if they had not been bridled by a bashful nature; for there are many that have hearts for vice, who have not a face for it. Modesty, when a virtue, restrains us from licentious company and bad enterprises; it teaches us to esteem merit; it awes the uncivil tongue; prevents a man from vain boasting and makes a wise man not scorn but pity a fool.
FROM THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
Those who have followed us thro' our editorial career, must remember that we have always held it the unalterable opinion that the safety of the civilized world from one universal despotism was to be hoped for only from Great Britain. She, as the admirable author of the "Pursuits of Literature" says of Burke, "slayed the plague." Her powerful marine kept it from spreading across the ocean—her firmness animated, her example encouraged, her exhortations persuaded and convinced, and her wealth supplied means to the continental powers to resist the deadly destruction. The confidence of the wary potentates of Europe, which the fluctuating politics of former administrations, and the frequent vain attempts to negotiate, kept in a tottering state, and which the shameful peace of the feeble Addington almost entirely destroyed, was revived by Fox, Windham and Grenville, for whatever doubts the former conduct of Mr. Fox, which can neither be palliated nor denied, might have caused to have been entertained respecting him, on the score of his wish for peace, the last negotiation at Paris, the correspondence between him and Lord Lauderdale, and his unalterable determination not to make peace, nor enter into negotiation without Russia shewed the continent, al powers that they had at last found a Bri-
tish administration on whom they could rely. The consequences are before the world. The battle of Austerlitz had appeared to be almost the last struggle of Europe. The imprudent advances of Prussia, who seemed to have acted under a desperate resolve to wipe out the stain of his past impolicy, by one stroke of rash magnanimity, gave a victory to Bonaparte, which seemed to be a brain-blow to Europe, and the sacking of Berlin, and sacking of Magdeburg, were considered as opening to the tyrant the very gates of St. Petersburg—whence by a very easy and plausible transition of the mind, Turkey and all the East were seen in dread prospective as falling before the conqueror. In this crisis the energies of the late British cabinet fell into action. A great statesman and military officer (Lord Hutchinson) was dispatched to animate and to supply Russia with the means whereby
"War might best uphold, Move by her two main nerves, Iron and Gold, In all her equipage."
And at the same time to see that the money was not misapplied. While this was doing in the North, the South of Europe was covered with British armaments by sea and land and in a time incredibly short, the destructive tide was made not merely to stop, but to roll back again with all its tremendous waves.
But this was not all. A systematic retrenchment was adopted, which had fair to bring the war establishment of that administration even lower than the peace, or true establishment of the former. But here it was that the shoe pinched the creatures of the court, rather than there should be a ball and a supperless, or than a coach and set of horses should go to Tattersall's to be sold off, the nation was to be resigned to chance, and bid to revolve into the old channel of corruption, of venality, and of ruin.
These things concern the world, and are therefore, subjects meet for the consideration of every friend of mankind. For our part, we consider the change in administration, as the most inauspicious circumstance that has occurred for a long time. It presents a horrible repetition, a hideous counterpart of the very same machinations which early in the king's reign laid the foundation of the dismemberment of the British empire. We shall pursue the subject in another number; at present we must stop.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.
OF the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have 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.
GEO. BENNER, jun.
No. 11, Budd-street, Philadelphia.
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 Ewbank, 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 wounds. 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.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
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 place 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 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, or other 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 have 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 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 Calumet.
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 23d, 1805. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harp-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Dr. 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 affection, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially 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.
