PARISIAN REVIEW OF POLITICS.
BY BARRERE.
The Peace of Presburg was the result of events too unexpected for the cabinets of Europe to be able to appreciate immediately the influence it would have upon their future conduct. Six months have scarcely elapsed since it was signed, and the ostensible measures of the different courts enable the observer already to judge of the effects of that treaty.
The House of Austria, whose policy never wavers but when it is influenced by that of other cabinets, renounces war, and is employed only in repairing the injuries it has done her. The troubles of Servia, the regeneration of the Ottoman Empire, the weakness of her army, the ruin of her credit, and the desolation of her provinces—such are the objects of her solicitude; far from desiring new contests, she blesses peace, which permits her to repair the evils they have caused her.
Prussia, aggrandized at the expence of England, has no longer any thing to fear from the insinuations of the cabinet of St. James. George has launched his thunders against William, who fears them less perhaps, than his friendship. Some ships lost, some men made prisoners, and some cessions to France, are the price of a province rich in extent, population, and produce, and whose value is doubled by its local situation. This acquisition, which draws a line of eternal separation between the courts of London and Prussia, unites for ever the court of Berlin to the interests of the court of France. A war of negotiation with Sweden, of misunderstanding with Russia, and the new arrangements of Germany occupy Prussia at present—her wise and moderate conduct proves the desire she has to preserve peace.
Russia, too feeble in population to expect success in Europe and Asia at the same time, has adopted the policy which her interest and her glory required. At the very moment in which her peace with France ensures the repose of the West, a solemn embassy unites the court of Petersburg with the court of Pekin; ships from Kamschatka explore the seas of Japan, and lay the foundation of a commerce which will civilize the North. Policy does not alone contribute to the prosperity of Russia—her armies have passed the Caucasus; spread over the plains of Persia, & are already under the walls of Ispahan; treaties will unite the Czar to the Shah, and from that moment the trade of India, lost to England, will abandon the vast ocean, and return to the seas and rivers that flow into it. That day will deprive Great Britain of her riches and her resources for loans—that day will turn against her the treasures she employs to agitate Europe, and the arms upon which she relies for the defence of her territory.
Turkey, weakened by her extent, and by her manners, by the mixture of two nations, and the wavering policy of the Divan, was on the point of disappearing from the map of Europe, when the treaty of Presburg, by giving her frontiers in common with the kingdom of Italy, has regenerated the empire of the Cross: Neither the influence of Russia, nor that of England being able to turn Sultan Selim from his real interests and from his ancient ally. Ambassadors are arrived to bring the pledge of peace—it is to Turkey the pledge of happiness. This intimate union of France and the Porte changes the direction of the commerce of the Levant and the Mediterranean; soon too the fleets from Toulon, Venice, Ragusa, the ports and isles of the Ionian sea, and the coasts of Barbary, will drive the English from a sea where Malta or Gibraltar will only serve them as a refuge.
The king of Sweden, plunged into a war, which folly, not glory, induces him to carry on, attacks his subjects, not his enemies. Prussia has not yet seen her territory threatened, and the inhabitants of Swedish Pomerania have already lost their ancient privileges. The decree which destroys them, develops at length the secret of the war of the north; it proves that the subjects of Gustavus will all be confined to his own territories.
Germany (or the princes who formed formerly part of the ancient Germanic confederacy) waits for the charter which is to replace the golden bull; that minute act prevented the usual troubles at the election of a king of the Romans, regulated the
ceremonies of the coronation, distribute the rank and functions of the electors, but did not ensure to the petty princes of Germany the peaceable possession of their dominions. The emperor, under whom they held, might summon them to his assistance, arm them for his defence, without being always bound to protect them; the interest of the empire often exhausted the force and the revenues necessary to the safety of each of its members; the custom of deciding every thing at the diet according to the number of votes attached to the elective fiefs, rendered the liberties of the German empire illusory: in fine, the destruction of a great number of principalities, and the tottering state of all the rest, dealt the last blow to that ancient association.
Denmark, accustomed to consider Sweden as her natural enemy, follows a policy diametrically opposite to that of Sweden. The peaceful cabinet of Copenhagen profits by the calamities which Gustavus produces in his own dominions, and derives advantage from the troubles of Europe, without taking any part in them. The prosperity of her commerce appears to be the sole object of her solicitude.
The United States, by a policy foreign to the old world, purchase countries which they might conquer, preserve a sentiment of gratitude for the French nation, and feebly revenge the fresh outrages of England. Yet their territory increases, their population advances, their revenues are more prosperous, and their growing navy dictates laws upon the coast of Barbary. England alone dreads the prosperity of America, and seems to feel that greater glory awaits the Americans upon the river St. Lawrence.
England, isolated from Europe by her interests no less than her geographical position, exhausts the science of her cabinet in making conquests which she will not keep, and in contracting debts which she will never pay. Her vessels navigate peaceably the most distant seas, yet are full of fears in traversing the channel; her commerce enslaves three quarters of the globe and cannot maintain itself in the fourth. Her policy aims kings to subdue France, and their defeat strengthens France. Yet it is not to any want of skill on the part of the cabinet of St. James, that this bad success is to be attributed. No—but it is to the force of events, which united together, command each other, and lead to results different from those which seem to be expected. The present conduct of the cabinet of London proves that it is convinced of the feebleness of England to contend with France. It proves also, that the true interests of the nation are better appreciated by the new ministers, and that if peace be negotiated slowly, it will still be signed.
The other states of Europe, all united to France by gratitude, interest and blood, compose what in modern policy is called the federative empire, but which might be more appropriately called the empire of the west. Her population exceeds that of the rest of Europe: her arms are already covered with immortal glory; and the name of the founder is placed by the side of those of the heroes of antiquity. The peace of the world seems to be the sole object of this political institution. Time had diminished the number of petty states, and futurity prepared their entire destruction; the moment was approaching in which empires were to have frontiers in common; in which whole people, and not armies, were to decide the fate of battle. A single conception of genius preserves future generations from the evils which fate was preparing for them. Weak princes become strong by the support they receive; people unite, instead of destroying each other; humanity is consoled, and peace re-establishes her empire in climates which she thought never to have dwelt in more.
MUNGO PARKE.
MR. EDITOR,
As there have lately appeared in several newspapers various accounts of Mr. Parke, and his fellow travellers in Africa, the following extract of a letter from him to his friend at Goree, being the only authentic information received since he reached the river Niger, will no doubt prove acceptable to those who feel an interest in the fate of that enterprising man:
“Sansanding, Bamboura, November 10, 1804.
“My dear friend,
“We left the Gambia in high health and spirits, and continued travelling with the greatest and most flattering prospect of success, till we had crossed the Falam river, and entered Minskoodo: here, alas! The rainy season commenced, and the soldiers were affected with fevers. The fever had
at first the appearance of typhus, but in a few days the yellow tinge of the skin convinced us that we had a more dangerous disease to contend with. [Here he relates his method of treatment, which, he says, he has every reason to believe would have been very successful, had they had proper convenience, and not been exposed to the heat of the sun.] Our numbers diminished very rapidly; for, as the rainy season advanced, the dysentary made its appearance, and we reached the river Niger, 22d August, in a very weak and sickly state. On our arrival we had a long palaver with the king of Bamboura, and received permission to pass to the eastward, and arrived at Thirpla (Sansanding) where we have resided near two months, fitting out our schooner, and laying in provisions. The healthy season is now set in, and I indulge the hope of reaching the coast before any more of us drop off. Out of 44 Europeans, who left the Gambia in good health, only lieutenant Martin, and three soldiers* of the royal African corps, and myself, remain alive. I have not had a day's sickness since I left Goree. Mr. Anderson, my brother, friend and companion, died of a dysentary on the 28th of October, and Mr. Scott of a fever, two months ago.
“I am your's, &c. (Signed) “MUNGO PARKE.”
The guide who brought these letters says that he saw Mr. Parke to the eastward of Sansanding, after the date of his letter. He also reports that there was an English ship in the Gambia that had letters on board from Mr. Parke for his majesty's secretary of state.
* Names of the soldiers—Abraham Bolton, John Connor, Thomas Higgins.
ALTONA. August 16.
The following letter has been written to the emperor Napoleon, by M. Jacobson, agent of finances to the court of Brunswick:
SIRE,
Penetrated with sentiments of the most profound veneration, and filled with that admiration which those extraordinary men always excite, who, at different periods, are chosen by the eternal to ennoble the human race, I approach your majesty's throne with all that confidence the great actions with which you have caused the astonished world to resound, are calculated to inspire.
I have not the happiness to be numbered among the people for whose advantage you sacrifice all the moment of your life. I belong not to that happy country, to which you have called back peace. I am one of the unfortunate Jewish people against whom ignorance and superstition have leagued, in order to degrade them and render them the opprobrium of every other nation; but the Lord of Hosts has chosen you to give happiness to that world, and to the Jews are a part of that world. I belong to that people whose misery has for more than 1000 years in vain implored the compassion and the humanity of sovereigns—to that people who expected in you their savior, and who in you, Sire, have found him.
I have constantly endeavored to promote the happiness of my countrymen by civilizing them; and my efforts have been crowned with the happiest success. I have at last been able to interest several German princes in favor of the Jewish people. I have obtained for my unfortunate brethren the abolition of an infamous tax. I have established at my own expence, an institution for the instruction of Jewish children, and in which there are at present more than twenty Christian children. Now, however, I place no limits to my hopes, since I have the happiness to raise my suppliant voice to the throne of your majesty.
Design, Sire, to extend you beneficent views to the Jews who inhabit the countries adjoining to your vast empire. If you confine your benefits to that part of my brethren who are among your majesty's subjects, how much will still remain to be desired! How will it be possible to surmount the obstacles which the difference of the French administration, and that of other states will place between them and us? The commercial relations of France and Germany require a constant intercourse between the Jews of these countries, but what Jew inhabiting your states would degrade the title of French citizen by the humiliations and vexations which the system of administration now practised in Germany would make him experience?—Would he choose a spouse among a people rendered infamous by the laws of the country they inhabit?
How great and sublime is the enterprize of breaking the chains of a people unjustly oppressed! Who but a God can hearken to their complaints and deliver them from an unsupportable bondage!
The princes of Germany do not oppose the accomplishment of this grand work: on the contrary, it is the object of their wishes. They are anxious to ameliorate our condition. They groan under the operation of ancient laws dictated by barbarism, and which prejudice only could have maintained until the present day.
The German Jew would be happy were he permitted to earn his bread honestly, to enjoy the common right of protection which governments owe to their subjects: and were there given to his worship a practical form, which, without deviating from his own law, would accord with the exercise of all the duties of citizenship.
But to attain this object it would be necessary,
1. To establish a sovereign Jewish council, presided by a patriarch residing in France. 2. To class all the persons professing the Jewish faith according to the districts they inhabit with a Synod to each, which under the superintendance of the French government and the sovereign Jewish council, should decide on all affairs connected with worship, and should appoint the rabbis. 3. To authorize the said sovereign council to supply each Jew with the necessary expenses for enabling him to fulfil the duties of a citizen in every country.
These means, Sire, appear equally certain and indispensable. Only break the political and ecclesiastical chains which confine the Jews to a state of slavery, and you will soon see them aspire to the dignified character of other nations. Then shall we emulate our ancestors, who changed the barren rocks of Palestine into delightful gardens, and covered them with the richest harvests. Then shall we be worthy of bearing the same name as those heroes who planted their victorious standards on the banks of the river Jordan, with the same hands with which they guided the plough and shuttle.

Paris, September 9.
The refusal of the emperor of Russia to ratify D'Oubril's treaty, has not yet been followed by the rupture of the English negotiation, but slight hopes of peace however remain. The troops which had returned from Germany have been ordered to face to the right about, and the troops which had entered France are to proceed to Germany again.
ENGLAND.
London, Sept. 15.
On Saturday last the 13th instant in the afternoon, that great and illustrious statesman, Charles James Fox, yielded his last breath in the arms of his nephew Lord Holland.
The following persons are talked of as his successors: The marquis Wellesley, Lord Holland, Mr. T. Grenville and Lord Lauderdale. Mr. Fox was in his fifty eighth year. He was elected to parliament before he was of age, acted with the then ministers, and his first speech was against Wilkes. He was often in and out of the ministry. Last night a messenger left town for Paris. He will carry the news of the death of Mr. Fox.
The embarkation of troops for foreign service is renewed with increased activity.

An order has been received at the dock yard, Portsmouth, to communicate how soon the flat bottomed boats which are usually employed in disembarking troops can be got ready for service. The boats of the Haughty gun brig have recently cut out of port eight Spanish loaded vessels. She has in her last cruise, destroyed twelve or fourteen other vessels. An attempt to cut out Jerome's ship Vesper, we have reason to believe, has ere this been made by two of our frigates.
Price of Stocks. Consols 63 1-4 Omoium 7 3-4. Omoium on the 18th was at 8 1-2. The reason given by Alexander for his refusal to ratify the treaty with France, is that D'Oubril had acted entirely contrary to his instructions; but his imperial majesty declares he is ready to renew the negotiations. (St. Petersburg—Official)
September 18. We have Paris papers to the 11th and Dutch to the 15th. All the military movements indicate approaching war. The official news of the capture of Buenos Ayres is received. It capitulated on the 27th of June. There fell into the hands of the English 1 291 338 dollars in silver and bullion. General Beresford has issued a proclamation as Lieutenant governor, and promises to allow a free trade to all nations in amity with England. The trade of Buenos Ayres is to be put on the same footing, by promise, as that of Trinidad. It was estimated that the Merchandize in the king's stores, principally jesuit's bark and quicksilver; and what is in the Philippine Company's stores; with the little that is retained of floating property, would amount if it could be disposed of to between two and three millions of dollars. Of the bullion delivered in, some was claimed as private property, and was to be restored, and so of some of the money. 90 pieces of ordnance, 550 whole barrels of powder, 2208 muskets with bayonets, 74 without bayonets, 617 carbines, 4079 pistols, 31 musketoons and 1247 swords were taken at Buenos Ayres. The English had 1 man killed, 12 wounded and 1 missing. In the capitulation the first article provides that the Spanish troops shall be prisoners of war, allows native and domiciliated officers and soldiers to remain. The 2d article promises respect to all private property, civil, military or religious. 3d promises protection to the people, and that they shall not be compelled to bear arms against his Catholic majesty. 4th continues the civil officers in commission, and promises respect to existing customs. 5th provides for the safety of the public archives. 6th continues the taxes and appropriations as heretofore. 7th assures respect to the Catholic religion. 8th continues the ecclesiastical court. 9th directs the delivery of coasting vessels to their owners. 10th agrees that all the public property shall be delivered to the English.
In general Beresford's letter to the secretary of state, announcing the capture of Buenos Ayres, he mentions that the whole force under his command was 1621, with 2 five and a half inch howitzers, and two light 3 pounders. The Spanish regular force consisted of 2000, and opposed the advance of the British a short time at the village of Reduction, and at the river Chuelo, at which latter place they had destroyed the bridge. Their fire was always ill directed, and did little or no execution. General Beresford, in one of his letters says, that after the passage of the river Chuelo, the city of Buenos remained at his mercy, and that the only conditions on which he entered were such as he pleased to offer. The coasting vessels he released were valued at a million and a half of dollars. The British had made an expedition 30 miles into the interior, had found the dispositions of the people favorable to the British, and had recovered considerable treasure which persons were endeavoring to carry to Cordova.
Extract of a letter from commodore Popham who commanded the expedition against Buenos Ayres, to the secretary of the admiralty. Off Buenos Ayres, 6th July. SIR, In a letter which I had the honor to address you from St. Helena, on the 30th of April, I fully explained, for the information of my lords commissioners of the admiralty, the motives that induced me to press so strongly the urgency and expedi-
ency of undertaking an expedition against the enemy's settlements in Rio de la Plata. I have therefore to give you only a short detail of the proceedings of the squadron; previously congratulating their lordships on his majesty's forces being in full possession of Buenos Ayres and its dependencies, the capital of one of the richest and most extensive provinces of South America.
To the commerce of Great Britain it exhibits peculiar advantages, as well as to the active industry of her manufacturing towns. And when I venture in addition to assure their lordships of the extreme healthiness of the climate, I trust I only hold out a consolation that the friends of every person employed in this expedition are justly entitled to, and which I am satisfied will be equally gratifying to the feelings of every British subject.
As I considered the object of material consequence to obtain the earliest local information of the river, I placed the squadron under the direction of captain Rowley, and preceded it in the Narcissus for that purpose.
On the 8th ultimo we anchored near the island of Flores; and after passing Monte Video the following day, we detained a Portuguese schooner, by whom the intelligence we had formerly received was generally confirmed. On the 11th we fell in with the Encounter and Ocean transports near the south coast of the river; and on the 13th we joined the squadron.
It was immediately determined to attack the capital; and no time was lost in removing the marine battalion to the Narcissus, the Encounter and the transports, for the purpose of proceeding to Buenos Ayres, while the Diadem blockaded the port of Monte Video, and the Reasonable and Diomedes, by way of demonstration, cruized near Maldonado, and other assailable points.
Our progress up the river was very much retarded by the shallowness of the water, adverse winds and currents, continual fogs, and the great inaccuracy of the charts; but by the unremitting and laborious exertions of the officers and men I had the honor to command, these difficulties were surmounted, and the squadron anchored, on the afternoon of the 25th, off point Quilmes a Poulchin, about 12 miles from Buenos Ayres.
As it was impossible for the Narcissus to approach the shore, on account of the shallowness of the water, the Encounter was run in so close as to take the ground, the more effectually to cover the debarkation of the army in case of necessity; the whole however was landed in the course of the evening without the least opposition; consisting of the detachment of his majesty's troops from the Cape, and that from St. Helena, with the marine battalion under the orders of captain King, of his majesty's ship the Diadem, which was composed of the marines of the squadron augmented by the incorporation of some seamen, and three companies of Royal Blues from the same source of enterprise, which had been regularly trained for that duty, and dressed in an appropriate uniform.
The enemy was posted at the village of Reduction, which was on an eminence about two miles from the beach, with the appearance of a fine plain between the two armies, which however proved on the following morning to be only a morass in a high state of verdure.
This in some measure checked our advancement, nor did the enemy open his field train till the troops were nearly in the middle of the swamp, from whence he thought it impossible for them to be extricated.
The able and excellent disposition of general Beresford, and the intrepidity of his army, very soon, however, satisfied the enemy that his only safety was in a precipitate retreat, for we had the satisfaction of seeing from the ships near 4000 Spanish cavalry flying in every direction, leaving their artillery behind them, while our troops were ascending the hill with that coolness and courage which has on every occasion marked the character of a British soldier, and has been exemplified in proportion to the difficulties and dangers by which he was opposed.
On the 27th, in the morning, we saw some firing near the banks of the river Chuelo, but it blew so hard that it was totally impracticable to have any communication with the shore during that day. On the 28th, our troops took possession of Buenos Ayres.
I have sent lieut. Groves to take possession of Eusenaba de Baragon, a port to the eastward of Buenos Ayres, where I understand there are two gun vessels and two merchant ships.
It appears that the French have not yet obtained possession of Cattaro. The Montenegrins hold it.
NEW-ORLEANS, Sept. 22. General James Wilkinson, it has already been stated, has arrived at Port Adams on his way to Natchitoches. It is asserted that the general does not intend to resume his functions as governor of Upper Louisiana; but has recommended Dr. Browne, the present secretary of the territory (a brother-in-law of col. Burr) as his successor; and it is said a petition is in circulation among the friends of the general, to recommend Dr. B. to the president for that office. We give these reports as we find them in letters from St. Louis published in Kentucky and Pennsylvania papers.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7.
MR. SNOWDEN, SIR—In your paper of Wednesday, I discover an extract from the 15th article of the British treaty, which is correct; but the note made on the extract is not entirely so: which states the treaty does not expire till the 19th November, 1806.
The treaty was signed by Grenville and Jay the 19th of November, 1794. But by looking at the 28th article it will be seen, the twelve years is to be computed from the day the ratifications were exchanged. The following is extracted from the 28th article of the British treaty.
"It is agreed, that the first ten articles of this treaty shall be permanent, and that the subsequent articles, except the twelfth, shall be limited in their duration to twelve years, to be computed from the day on which the ratifications of this treaty shall be exchanged."
MR. SNOWDEN, AS an election will take place on Monday next for twelve directors in the bank of Potomac, the following gentlemen are proposed to the stockholders of said bank as proper persons for directors:
Thomas Vorwell jr. William Harishorne. William Hodgson. Elisha Fanney. Jacob Hoffman. Robert Young. James Patton. John G. Ladd. James Keith, jr. Cuthbert Powell. Joseph Riddle. Edmund Denney.
MARRIED, last evening, by the Reverend Dr. Muir, Captain Thomas Cole, to Miss Tryphosa N. Hand—both of this town.
Extract of a letter from an officer dated Rapids of Red River, September 20, 1806, communicated for the Baltimore Evening Post.
DEAR SIR, "We are within sixty miles of Natchitoches, where we have met Claiborne and letters from Cushing, which leave no sort of doubt, that the Spaniards mean to dispute ground with us at the point of the sword; and that they are augmenting their forces. The governors Cordero and Herrera will be opposed to the poor American Brigadier "Farat."
mieur." The general has called on the two Territories for Militia. Claiborne will furnish 450 and Mead 250 men only; no matter, we have a few hundred confidential, and the greater the disparity of force, the more fame. We shall be ready in ten or twelve days, and then the governors must retrograde, or taste our steel. Claiborne and Cushing have remonstrated strongly and repeatedly to Herrera, who with much decision repels their demands and reiterates his determination, to maintain the territory of his master, east of the Sabine. The rights of humanity and the genius of his country will induce gen. W—— to make one more attempt at conciliation, but he will be prepared to strike the moment it is rejected. The accounts we have of the Spanish camp and equipments are marvellous; they are represented as disorderly, undisciplined and overcharged with the precious metals. What think you of a subaltern brimming with him thirty thousand dollars for pocket money in doubloons. Who knows but we may make a coup d'or and secure a birth in the bed of honor—fifteen days will decide."
The Kentucky papers to the thirteenth of October, received at this office by the mail of yesterday evening, are wholly silent as to the commotion of the people in the western states, indicating hostility against the integrity of our country. (Poulson's Daily Ad.)
Departed this life, at Newburyport, on Wednesday evening last, the noted Timothy Dexter, in the 60th year of his age—Self styled "Lord Dexter! first in the East." He lived perhaps one of the most eccentric men of his time. His singularities and peculiar notions were universally proverbial. Born and bred to a low condition in life, and his intellectual endowments not being of the most exalted stamp, it is no wonder that a splendid fortune which he acquired (though perhaps honestly) by dint of speculation and good fortune, should have rendered him, in many respects, truly ridiculous. The qualities of his mind were of that indefinite cast, which forms an exception to every other character recorded in history or known in the present age, and "none but himself could be his parallel." But among the motley groups of his qualities, it would be injustice to say he possessed no good ones—he certainly did. No one will impeach his honesty, and his numerous acts of liberality, both public and private, are in the recollection of all, while one item in his last will, will be gratefully remembered. His ruling passion appeared to be popularity; and one would suppose that he rather chose to render his name "infamously famous than not famous at all." His writings stand as a monument of the truth of this remark; for those who have read his "Pickle for the Knowing Ones" a jumble of offshoots promiscuously thrown together, find it difficult to determine whether most to laugh at the consummate folly, or despise the vulgarity and profanity of the writer. His manner of life was equally extravagant and singular. A few years since he erected in front of his house a great number of images of distinguished persons in Europe and America, together with beasts, &c. so that his seat exhibited more the appearance of a museum of artificial curiosities, than the dwelling of a family. By his orders a tomb was several years since dug, under the summer house in his garden, where he desired his remains might be deposited, (but this singular request could not consistently be complied with) and his coffin made and kept in the hall of his house, in which he is to be buried. The fortunate and singular manner of his speculations, by which he became possessed of a handsome property are well known, and his sending a cargo of warning pans to the West-Indies, where they were converted into molasses ladles, and sold to a good profit, is but one of the most peculiar. His principles of religion, if they could be called principles, were equally odd; a blind philosophy, peculiar to himself, led him to believe in the system of transmigration, at some times; at others he expressed those closely connected with deism; but it is not matter of surprise that one so totally illiterate should have no settled or rational principles. His reason left him two days before his death. Newburyport Herald.

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 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 perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation most expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies , and 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 has yet equalled the GOUT and RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland : General Charles Ridgely , of Hampton ; John Gibson , Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland ; John Macubbin , Esq. Mrs. Macubbin , his wife; and Mrs. Ryan , of Catonsville . Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy , two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Maracus-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy , from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains , the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially 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.
