RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloons, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without garters tied round his waist with a string; likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the hay yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria.

NOTICE.
THE commissioners appointed by the Virginia legislature to receive subscriptions in the town of Alexandria, for forming a turnpike road from Fauquier court house to intersect the Little River turnpike road, give notice, that they will attend at the City Hotel for that purpose, on SATURDAY, the second day of December, from ten o'clock till two, and from three till sunset. As few of the citizens of Alexandria are acquainted with the part of the country into which this road leads, and the benefits which the commerce of the town may derive from it, it may not be improper to state that it passes through the county of Prince William, a great part of the county of Fauquier, approaching near to Rappahannock, opening a communication with a part of Prince William, the greater part of Fauquier, with a prospect of no inconsiderable part of Culpepper. No road at this time leading to the town, brings greater advantages to it than the proposed one promises. Independent of those advantages mentioned as certainly resulting from it, there is the greatest probability that others will follow as soon as it can be ascertained that this will be executed. It is reasonable to expect that the inhabitants of Augusta and Rockingham on the other side of the Blue Ridge, and of Orange & Madison on this side, will exert themselves to open a road from Swiss Run Gap to Fauquier Court house. Should this be realised it will shorten the distance to Staunton at least 30 miles, and it is confidently believed should such a measure take place, it will be found that Alexandria is not above 20 miles farther from Staunton than Richmond or Fredericksburg. Through Staunton all the traders to the westward must pass in their way to the commercial towns, such a saving of distance would draw most of them this way, from which many important benefits may be derived. At this time a line of Stages is established from Abingdon to Staunton. Abingdon is upwards of 200 miles beyond Staunton. Should the roads alluded to take place, there can be no doubt of the Stages extending from Staunton to this place. The road at present contemplated reduces the distance from this town to Fauquier Court House to 41 miles, only 2 or 3 miles farther than from that place to Fredericksburg. The goodness of the contemplated road to this place, and the superior advantages of our market, reduces it to a certainty that the bulk of the trade from that part of the country will center here, if a proper road be opened to it. The prospects of great commercial benefits resulting to the town from the proposed measure, (equal if not superior to those expected from the Little River Turnpike) it is hoped will induce the citizens of Alexandria to contribute liberally towards it.

Richmond, Nov. 10th, 1809.
P. S. As much inconvenience and unnecessary expense results from the present mode of collecting the contributions of the members; which annually diverts a considerable part of those contributions from the uses for which they were intended—burdens individuals with heavy costs, and greatly delays the collections, to the injury of the credit of the society, the general meeting at their last annual session, applied to the legislature, to authorise a more certain, expeditious, and less expensive mode of collection. Their application was rejected, under an impression, that the members of the society might not approve this act of their proxies.
Having been informed that a similar proposition will be submitted to the consideration of the next general meeting, and believing some amendment in that respect necessary to the prosperity of the institution, I have thought it proper to give this public notice thereof.

POETICAL DEPARTMENT.
A Ballad founded on fact. BY MRS. OPIE.
Round youthful HENRY's restless bed His weeping friends and parents press'd; But her who rais'd his languid head He lov'd far more than all the rest.
Fond mutual love their bosoms fir'd; And nearly dawn'd their bridal day, When every hope at once expir'd, For HENRY on his death bed lay.
The fatal truth the suff'r'er read In weeping LUCY's downcast eye; "And must I, must I, then," he said, "Ere thou art mine, my LUCY, die;
"No—deign to grant my last, last pray'r; 'Twould soothe thy lover's parting breath, Would'st thou with me to church repair, Ere yet I feel the stroke of death.
"For trust me, love, I shall my life With something like to joy resign, If I but once may call thee wife, And, dying, claim and hail thee mine."
He ceas'd and LUCY check'd the thought That he might at the altar die— The prayer with such true love was fraught, How could she such a prayer deny?
They reach'd the church—her cheek was wan With chilling fear of coming woe— But triumph, when the rites began, Lent Henry's cheek a flattering glow.
The nuptial knot was scarcely tied. When HENRY's eye strange lustre fired— "She's mine! she's mine!" he faltering cried, And in that throb of joy expired.
From an Eastern Print.
ON LONG SPEECHES.
The princes of Grecian and Roman eloquence were Demosthenes and Cicero.—The orations of the former were nervous, full of energy and fire, and remarkable for their brevity. The language of Cicero was more embellished and diffuse, and the ancient critics censured him for superfluity of words and spinning out his orations to a tedious length. Yet most of the orations of Cicero, as they now appear in print, fill only thirteen or fourteen quarto pages, and were about three quarters of an hour, perhaps, in the delivery. His long philippic against Mark Anthony was never spoken, nor intended to be spoken. Excellent as it is, and with all his enchanting powers of oratory, it is questionable whether Cicero himself could have delivered it before a Roman audience without giving them weariness from its prolixity.
The immortal Chatham whose eloquence shook the British Senate, was famed not for the length but for the irresistible force of his speeches; which, judging from the printed copies, were not more than forty or fifty minutes long, and sometimes much shorter.
But it has been lamented that the British orators of the present age rejecting the models of Greece and Rome, and the example of their own illustrious Chatham, have labored to be prolix rather than forcible. In Dodsley's Annual Register, 1800, it is remarked, "There is nothing more preposterous than to seek the flame of eloquence with prolixity. Grand ideas, convincing truths, warm and generous sentiments, are quickly communicated from mind to mind with the swiftness of lightning. The orations of Grattan would lose their charms and effect by dilation. The time is certainly not far distant, when all speakers in Parliament, who possess sound taste and judgment, will be as studious of brevity as most of our present orators are of diffusion.
But if these strictures are pertinent and applicable, as it respects the orators of G. Britain, they are more eminently so in reference to some of the public speakers of our own country. The United States are more remarkable for long speeches than any other portion, perhaps, of the modern or ancient world. We have read of speeches at the bar, five or six hours long; and speeches in Congress nearly of the same length. Mercy defend us from this new kind of inundation!
I must confess that I have but a little better opinion of these long congressional speeches than I have of the long prayers of the old Pharisees; as I cannot help suspecting that the one as well as the other, is commonly intended to catch the applause of men. If it be so, the speakers are under an egregious mistake; for did they express themselves concisely, pithily and always
come to the purpose, the effect would be vastly greater, and their own honor as orators proportionably higher, than any they can acquire from wire drawn harangues and laborious attempts to fill a bushel with what might be crowded into a nut-shell. But allowing their motives to be pure and patriotic, still they woefully miss the mark. They lay an intolerable tax on the feelings and upon the purses of the people. How oppress is a court of justice, and especially the jury, with unnecessary & disgusting fatigue, when a lawyer takes two hours to say what might have been said as well or better in 20 or 30 minutes. In congress the grievance is still more heavy upon the people. The time consumed there in speeches that are either useless or drawn out to an unnecessary length, is a prodigal waste of the people's money.
CIRCULAR.
LIVERPOOL, 20th Oct. 1809.
The extreme inactivity which has, for some time, characterised our market, continues in a great measure, to prevail, and the prices of those articles, for which there is little or no demand, are in the mean time, declining as the buyers seem determined in their resolution of waiting for the next advices from America, upon the nature of which their future operations will depend. We have, as yet, received no accounts of Mr. Jackson's arrival, but it is still a prevalent opinion that he will succeed in accomplishing the object of his mission. A cordial understanding is certainly the interest, and it is hoped, that this consideration will powerfully influence the councils of both countries.
Although the enquiry for American produce has greatly subsided, and a consequent reduction ensued, yet our prices are still, comparatively, high, and would, we have no doubt, realise a profit on several of your exports, after defraying the expences incident to a circuitous conveyance. That there are many persons in the United States, who will act upon such a persuasion, appears highly probable, and this idea, which has been confirmed by the arrival, direct, of an American vessel cleared out for Lisbon, must, naturally, tend to encourage the consumers to expect a farther depression in the prices. This effect will also be increased by the apprehensions of the holders, which will induce them to force off their stocks upon a dull and declining market, while the same causes will operate powerfully in checking, if not, for a time, wholly destroying the spirit of speculation.
The demand, for several descriptions of cotton, is tolerably regular, but accompanied with no spirit. The holders, at present, evidence no solicitude to force the sales by reducing the prices, while the dealers purchase no more than is sufficient to supply the immediate demands of the spinners. The sales of American cottons, which have, lately been made, are principally confined to Uplands. The prices of this description may be quoted at 18 1-2 a 20d.—New Orleans at 20 1-2 a 22d.—Tennessee are similarly circumstanced at 19d a 20d.—Sea Islands, which have been for some time, almost entirely neglected, may be quoted nominally, at 2s. a 2s. 7d. per lb. There are no Bourbons in this market; the last sales were effected at 4s. a 4 3d. per lb.
Ashe's have, in some degree, recovered from their late depression, but the demand is still very limited. New-York pots may be quoted at 50s. a 58s. and Boston at 58s. a 60s. Pearls, of which the supply is not large, are held at 63s. a 65s. per cwt.
It is now fully ascertained that pacific arrangements have been concluded between Sweden and Russia. As this event may be expected, ultimately, to enhance the value of tar, a few speculators have been induced to buy American, freely, at 36s a 38s per barrel, and, at these prices, purchases, we believe, would still be made. To effect a sale of turpentine, at the present moment, would be almost impracticable; the prices, which are still quoted at 32s a 35s per cwt. are, therefore, merely nominal.
During the whole of September, the weather was of a very alarming description, threatening the country in general with consequences of a most calamitous nature.—The relation in which we stood, with respect to foreign countries capable of supplying us with grain, were only of a character calculated to increase our apprehensions. The combination of these events, advanced the price of wheat and flour to a height very rarely witnessed at that early period; the middle of harvest. Good wheat was sold as high as 17s a 17s 6d per 70lb. and superfine flour at 62s a 63s per barrel. With the commencement of this month, however, a very happy change was experienced in the state of the weather, which has continued, on the whole, very favorable, and there is now a prospect of our harvest being secured
in much better condition than was expected. This circumstance has had, as might be expected, a considerable influence on our market, and the depression which it was naturally, calculated to produce, has, to some degree, been increased by a late order in council, admitting the importation of grain from France and Holland. It must, nevertheless, be admitted, that the crops in the northern districts, have been much injured, and that the stocks of old wheat have been, for many years, so much reduced as at the present period. From these considerations, and the probability that the supplies from France and Holland will be of no magnitude, we may infer that our prices will continue high, and, in the event of a direct intercourse with your country, offer a fair inducement to the exporter. The demand, however, is at present very limited, and good American wheat can, scarcely, be quoted higher than 16s per 70lb. and superfine flour than 57s a 59s per bbl.
The prices of rice, in consequence of the reverse in our grain market, have of late been gradually decreasing. The sale is now very dull, and the good qualities cannot be considered as worth more than 30s a 32s per cwt.
Tobaccoes participate largely in the general depression—York and James river may be quoted at 6d a 12d.—Rappahannock at 5d a 8d, and stemmed at 12d a 14d per lb.
Timber moves off very slowly as the high prices have materially checked the consumptive demand. The different descriptions may be quoted as follows: New York oak logs 5s 9d a 6s; pine 4s 8d a 4s 9d; New England oak 4s 10d a 5s; pine 4s 4d a 4s 5d; maple, beech and birch 4s 2d a 4s 4d, and pitch pine at 4s 11d a 5s 1d per cubic foot.
For staves the demand is very limited. Good white oak barrel are held at 18s. a 20l. Hhd. at 33l. a 36l.—and pipe at 40l. a 44l. per M.
The superior descriptions of quercitron bark are in far demand, and the consumption, considering the high prices, more extensive than might have been expected—fine 64s a 65s; good 55s a 60s; middling 40s a 45s; and ordinary 20s a 26s per cwt.
A small quantity of particularly fine Spanish mahogany was lately sold at the average price of 3s 1d per foot.—This sale, however, cannot be admitted as a just criterion of the state of the market, as that price was merely obtained from the spirit of competition, which the superiority of the article excited among the dealers. The article, therefore, if estimated according to the general quality of the importations, cannot be rated higher than 2s 2s 6d—Cuba may be quoted at 1s 10d a 2s—and Honduras at 1s 6d a 1s 8d per foot.
We are respectfully, Your assured friends, WM. & RD. RATHBONE.

Nov. 11.

The President of the United States yesterday communicated, by Mr. Graham, the following Message to Congress:
Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives: At the period of our last meeting, I had the satisfaction of communicating an adjustment with one of the principal belligerent nations, highly important in itself, and still more so as presaging a more extended accommodation. It is with deep concern, I am now to inform you, that the favorable prospect has been overclouded, by a refusal of the British government to abide by the act of its Minister Plenipotentiary, and by its ensuing policy towards the U. States, as seen through the communications of the minister sent to replace him.
Whatever pleas may be urged for a disavowal of engagements formed by diplomatic functionaries, in cases where by the terms of the engagements a mutual ratification is reserved; or where notice at the time may have been given, of a departure from instructions; or in extraordinary cases, essentially violating the principles of equity; a disavowal could not have been apprehended in a case, where no such notice or violation existed; where no such ratification was reserved; and more especially, where, as is now in proof, an engagement, to be executed without any such ratification, was contemplated by the instructions given, and where it had, with good faith, been carried into immediate execution on the part of the United States.
These considerations not having restrained the British government from disavowing the arrangement, by virtue of which its orders in council were to be revoked, and the event authorising the renewal of commercial intercourse, having thus not taken place; it necessarily became a question of equal urgency and importance, whether the act prohibiting that intercourse was not to be considered as remaining in legal force. This question being, after due deliberation, determined in the affirmative, a proclamation to that effect was issued. It could not but happen, however, that a return to this state of things, from that which had followed an execution of the arrangement by the U. States, would involve difficulties. With a view to diminish these as much as possible, the instructions from the secretary of the treasury, now laid before you, were transmitted to the collectors of the several ports. If in permitting British vessels to depart, without giving bonds not to proceed to their own ports, it should appear that the tenor of legal authority has not been strictly pursued, it is to be ascribed to the anxious desire which was felt, that no individuals should be injured by so unforeseen an occurrence: And I rely on the regard of Congress for the equitable interests of our own citizens, to adopt whatever further provisions may be found requisite, for a general remission of penalties involuntarily incurred.
The recall of the disavowed minister having been followed by the appointment of a successor, hopes were indulged that the new mission would contribute to alleviate the disappointment which had been produced, and to remove the causes which had so long embarrassed the good understanding of the two nations. It could not be doubted, that it would at least be charged with conciliatory explanations of the step which had been taken, and with proposals to be substituted for the rejected arrangement. Reasonable and universal as this expectation was, it also has not been fulfilled. From the first official disclosures of the new minister, it was found that he had received no authority to enter into explanations relative to either branch of the arrangement disavowed; nor authority to substitute proposals, as to that branch, which concerned the British Orders in Council: And finally, that his proposals with respect to the other branch, the attack on the frigate Chesapeake, were founded on a presumption, repeatedly declared to be inadmissible by the U. States, that the first step towards adjustment was to be taken by the British government; the proposals at the same time, omitting even a reference to the officer answerable for the murderous aggression, and asserting a claim not less contrary to the British laws, and British practice, than to the principles and obligations of the United States.
The correspondence between the department of state and this minister will show, how essentially the features presented in the commencement have been varied in its progress. It will show also, that forgetting respect due to all governments, he did
not refrain from imputations on this, which required that no further communications should be received from him. The necessity of this step will be made known to his Britannic majesty through the minister plenipotentiary of the United States in London. And it would indicate a want of confidence due to a government which so well understands and exacts what becomes foreign ministers near it, not to infer that the misconduct of its own representative will be viewed in the same light, in which it has been regarded here. The British government will learn, at the same time, that a ready attention will be given to communications through any channel which may be substituted. It will be happy, if the change in this respect should be accompanied by a favorable revision of the unfriendly policy which has been so long pursued towards the U. States.
With France, the other belligerent, whose trespasses on our commercial rights have long been the subject of our just remonstrances, the posture of our relations does not correspond with the measures taken on the part of the United States, to effect a favorable change. The result of the several communications made to her government, in pursuance of the authorities vested by Congress in the Executive, is contained in the correspondence of our minister at Paris, now laid before you.
By some of the other belligerents, although professing just and amicable dispositions, injuries materially affecting our commerce have not been duly controlled or repressed. In these cases the interpositions deemed proper on our part have not been omitted. But it well deserves the consideration of the legislature, how far both the safety and the honor of the American flag may be consulted, by adequate provisions against that collusive prostitution of it, by individuals, unworthy of the American name, which has so much favored the real or pretended suspicions, under which the honest commerce of their fellow-citizens has suffered.
In relation to the powers on the coast of Barbary, nothing has occurred which is not of a nature rather to inspire confidence than distrust, as to the continuance of the existing amity. With our Indian neighbors, the just and benevolent system, continued towards them, has also preserved peace, and is more and more advancing habits favorable to their civilization and happiness.
From a statement which will be made by the secretary of war, it will be seen that the fortifications on our maritime frontier are in many of our ports completed; affording the defence which was contemplated, and that a further time will be required to render complete the works in the harbor of New-York, and in some other places. By the enlargement of the works, and the employment of a greater number of hands at the public armories, the supply of small arms, of an improving quality, appears to be annually increasing, at a rate, that with those made on private contract, may be expected to go far towards providing for the public exigency.
The act of Congress providing for the equipment of our vessels of war having been fully carried into execution, I refer to the statement of the secretary of the navy for the information which may be proper on that subject. To that statement is added a view of the transfers of appropriations, authorised by the act of the session preceding the last, and of the grounds on which the transfers were made.
Whatever may be the course of your deliberations on the subject of our military establishments, I should fail in my duty in not recommending to your serious attention the importance of giving to our militia, the great bulwark of our security, and resource of our power, an organization the best adapted to eventual situations for which the United States ought to be prepared.
The sums which had been previously accumulated in the treasury, together with the receipts during the year ending on the 30th of Sept. last (and amounting to more than nine millions of dollars) have enabled us to fulfil all our engagements, and to defray the current expenses of government without recurring to any loan. But the insecurity of our commerce and the consequent diminution of the public revenue, will probably produce a deficiency in the receipts of the ensuing year, for which, and for other details, I refer to the statements which will be transmitted from the treasury.
In the state which has been presented of our affairs with the great parties to a disastrous and protracted war, carried on in a mode equally injurious and unjust to the United States as a neutral nation, the wisdom of the National Legislature will be again summoned to the important decision of the alternatives before them. That these will be met in a spirit, worthy the councils
of a nation, conscious both of its rectitude and of its rights, and careful as well of its honor as of its peace, I have an entire confidence. And that the result will be stamped by a unanimity becoming the occasion, and be supported by every portion of our citizens, with a patriotism enlightened and invigorated by experience, ought as little to be doubted.
In the midst of the wrongs and vexations experienced from external causes, there is much room for congratulation on the prosperity and happiness flowing from our situation at home. The blessing of health has never been more universal. The fruits of the seasons, though in particular articles and districts short of their usual redundancy, are more than sufficient for our wants and our comforts. The face of our country every where presents the evidence of laudable enterprise, of extensive capital, and of durable improvement. In a cultivation of the materials, and the extension of useful manufactures, more especially, in the general application to household fabrics, we behold a rapid diminution of our dependence on foreign supplies. Nor is it unworthy of reflection, that this revolution in our pursuits and habits is in no slight degree a consequence of those impolitic and arbitrary edicts, by which the contending nations in endeavoring each of them to obstruct our trade with the other, have so far abridged our means of procuring the productions and manufactures, of which our own are now taking the place.
Recollecting always, that for every advantage which may contribute to distinguish our lot, from that to which others are doomed by the unhappy spirit of the times, we are indebted to that Divine Providence whose goodness has been so remarkably extended to this rising nation, it becomes us to cherish a devout gratitude, and to implore from the same omnipotent source a blessing on the consultations and measures about to be undertaken for the welfare of our beloved country.
JAMES MADISON.
As our government is procuring arms, the following extract of a note in colonel Macdonald's translation of the French Tactics, is worthy of attention.
"To avoid the inconvenience of turning the ram-rod in loading, such as striking it against the faces, heads or arms of the men in the other ranks, or letting it fall; the Prussians do not return it, and therefore wad in less time than they would be turning it. The ram-rod is made cylindrical, and to prevent increase of weight, is made equally thick at both ends, and small along the rest of its length."
"The touch-hole or vent of the Prussian musket, which is shaped inwards like a truncation, renders the motion of priming unnecessary, as the piece primes itself, from the conical construction of the vent, the external orifice of which is not wider than it generally is, in ramming the powder passes in sufficient quantity into the pan; no powder is spilt in priming, the whole charge enters into the barrel; time is saved, and the effect of the shot is more powerful. The Austrians, at first, ridiculed this improvement, and afterwards imitated it."
"In the Prussian service, a piece of leather is sewed round the barrel, where the hand holds it in loading, to enable the hand to hold it heated as it will become after ten or twelve quick discharges."

Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq. of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of farms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country.

JUST RECEIVED,
For sale ONLY by JAMES KENNEDY, Sen King street,
The following highly valuable Medi-cines,
Price 3 dollars per bottle.
Dr. Jebb's Nature's Restorativ
A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial so justly celebrated through-out Great-Britain and the continent of Eu-rope, for its superior efficacy in the curin-all disorders excited by nervous irritability as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living long continued residence in warm climates intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmi-ties of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthmas and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the relief it has afforded even in the last stage of con-sumptions, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (con-sumption) its superiority is such as to have supplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the conse-quences of youthful excess, will find them-selves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Eu-rope, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, con-sumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many tested proofs of which from eminently dis-tinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or ac-quire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sover-eign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This ce-lebrated restorative plant has also been high-ly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and consider-ed by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor most grateful to the palate, and the most en-licensing to the spirits of any yet offered to the public
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheu-matic Drops
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health--this common-laced remark however is too often forgotten whilst we are active and strong--and pre-vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any descripti-on of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting effo-t to eradicate and overcome, none have a strong-er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu-matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originat-ed--and hence every relief which can be ad-ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.--Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex-pose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always 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 peri-lous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and ther 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 prescrip-tions have been published to cure the disor-ders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated through-out the European continent, and whose un-bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first con-sequence 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. Ma-cubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the be-neficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above.
