No. IV. (Translation.)
Convention between his majesty the king of Sweden, signed at Helsingborg, the 31st August, 1805.
His majesty the king of the united kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, and his majesty the king of Sweden, animated with equal desire to contribute by all the means which providence has placed at their disposal, to put an end to the misfortunes which disturb the peace of Europe, and particularly convinced of the urgency of securing the fortified places in the north of Germany against all hostile enterprise, have agreed to enter into stipulations for that purpose, by a separate convention; in addition to the preliminary and secret one concluded between them on the 3d of December last; for which purpose, their said majesties have chosen and named for their plenipotentiaries, videlicet, his majesty the king of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the honorable Henry Pierrepont, his envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary with his Swedish majesty; and his majesty the king of Sweden, the Sieur Jona Christopher Baron de Toll, a lord of the kingdom of Sweden, governor general of the duchy of Scania, general of cavalry in his armies, chief of the regiment of carabineers of Scania, knight and commander of his order s, and knight of all the Russian orders, who have agreed upon the following articles:
Art. I. The preliminary and secret convention concluded between the two sovereigns on the 3d December, 1805, is renewed, and shall continue in full force and validity during the period hereinafter specified in article VII.
Art. II. His majesty the king of Great Britain, conceiving that the object stated in the preamble cannot be more completely attained with respect to Swedish Pomerania, than by maintaining the fortress of Stralsund in a respectable state of defence, in order to preserve a rallying point and place of retreat for the forces of the allied parties, and especially for the troops of the emperor of all the Russias, in case his imperial majesty should be desirous of landing his forces at that place, in order to co-operate in the general plan, engages to pay monthly the sum of one thousand eight hundred pounds sterling, for every thousand men of regular troops, with which his Swedish majesty shall reinforce the usual garrison of the city of Stralsund.
Art. III. A garrison of eight thousand men in the whole, being deemed sufficient for the defence of this place, and the usual garrison, including the Burgher militia, amounting to upwards of four thousand; it is understood that the reinforcement spoken of in the preceding article shall not exceed four thousand men of regular troops, so that the subsidies to be furnished by his majesty the king of Great Britain will amount to the sum of seven thousand two hundred pounds sterling per month.
Art. IV. The payment of the above-mentioned subsidies shall be made before the end of every month, and shall be computed from the first day of July last, for the Swedish troops amounting to fifteen hundred men, actually in Stralsund, and for the reinforcements which may arrive there, from the day of their landing.
Art. V. The two high contracting parties not having been able to agree upon the expenses of Transports, his majesty the king of Sweden desirous of affording a convincing proof of his wish to contribute to the success of the common cause, engages to be at the sole charge of conveying to Pomerania the troops which are to be sent there, in pursuance of the present convention, and not to require any thing for their return.
Art. VI. His majesty the emperor of all the Russias having signified his desire to land a part of his troops in Pomerania, his Swedish majesty engages in consequence of the present convention, to afford every facility in his power to such disembarkation, and moreover to enter into particular stipulations with his imperial majesty on that head.
Art. VII. As the conditions of the obligations contained in the articles II. & III. of the preliminary and secret convention, limit the enjoyment of the privileges therein granted to the king of Great Britain, to
the duration of the war between Sweden and France, or to the period of eighteen months at least; and his Britannic majesty not having availed himself of the stipulations of the above-mentioned two articles, his majesty the king of Sweden engages to extend them as long as the subsidies fixed by the present convention, shall be discharged by Great Britain, and whilst that power shall continue the war against France in conjunction with Russia.
Art. VII. The ratification of the present convention shall be exchanged at Stockholm within six weeks or sooner if possible.
In witness whereof we the undersigned in virtue of our powers have signed the present convention, and have affixed thereunto the seals of our arms.
Done at Helsingborg the 21st of August, 1805.

EXTRACTS
FROM THE PAMPHLET, ENTITLED
"An Enquiry into the State of the Nation at the commencement of the present Administration."—LONDON, 1806.
Having taken a general survey of the present state of our enemy, of his allies, and of those powers which are upon the whole friendly to us, it may be proper, before concluding this branch of the subject, to consider the relations of England with the few powers which have preserved a strict neutrality in the present unfortunate contest, more particularly with the United States of America—the chief, indeed the only considerable nation of this description.
It is the uniform consequence of a long continued war between the principal states of Europe, that the nations which take no part in the dispute, are employed to carry on much of the commerce of the belligerent countries, with the permission of all parties, and that they also engage in branches of trade which those belligerents wish, if possible, to prohibit. When France and England, for example, are at war, the custom of privateering, or in general of permitting the vessels of the state to capture merchantmen, renders it dangerous for the English and French traders to sail as often as during peace; and much of the business which they used to carry on must be transferred to the neutral merchants, the Danes or Americans. The mere interruption of direct intercourse between the belligerents, imposes the necessity of admitting neutrals to the trade which they used to carry on together, and to the trade which each used to carry on between the other and their parties. The admission of neutrals to the former branch of commerce, has seldom been objected to, except during the heat of national animosity, and even then the objection was directed, not against the neutral, but against the other belligerent. The admission of neutrals to the latter branch of commerce, the carrying trade of the one belligerent between the other and third parties, has been restricted by certain rules, tending to prevent the neutral from directly assisting the belligerent in his hostile operations. These rules have prohibited the neutral from dealing with the belligerent, in articles immediately subservient to military operations, or as they have thence been denominated contraband of war. In order to enforce this law, a right of searching neutral traders at sea has been claimed by belligerent powers, and on some remarkable occasions submitted to by the government of the neutral nation. None of these points are at present an object of discussion. Neither the right of search nor the prohibition of contraband, nor the power of blockade, have for some time past been called in question. But a branch of ordinary commerce has, during the course of the present war, passed into the hands of neutrals, so important from its extent and so unequally beneficial to the belligerents, from its being confined chiefly to the weaker party, that a disposition has appeared in the councils of the strongest party to dispute the neutral right.
In no maritime war before the present has it happened, that the superiority of one party was so decisive as to deprive the other of every chance of keeping the sea. England may generally have had the better, her fleets may have gained signal advantages and her cruizers or privateers have annoyed the enemy's trade. But still France was not so crippled as to lose all chance of protecting her commerce. She was not so completely beset as to view a voyage and a capture with the same apprehensions. Ac-
cordingly her merchants ran the risk, which was not enormous; and continued to freight vessels for foreign ports, or to bring home their colonial produce, with the chance, but not the certainty of their being taken. Some part of this commerce fell into the hands of neutral traders; some part was carried on fraudulently under the cover of the neutral flag: but the risk was not sufficient to make the merchant give up the profit of direct traffic on his own account, with vessels and crews, and flag of his own country. But the unexampled increase of the English marine, and the almost total ruin of the French navy during the last and present wars, have augmented the risk of capture to the French trader so greatly, that he can no longer undergo it, and must be content to give up much of its traffic to neutrals, and endeavor to screen the rest by fraudulent devices. The unprecedented length of the last war, too, and the renewal of hostilities after so short an interval of peace, has increased still further the inducement, or rather the necessity of employing neutral nations, in the commerce formerly carried on by the belligerent alone. For a few years of war the privation of certain articles of necessity or luxury may be endured; but this becomes at length intolerable, and overcomes every restraint which either government or the opposing interest of traders can create. Those traders themselves, too, when a war has lasted long, gradually shift their capital into new channels, and withdraw more and more from the hazardous speculations, in which, during a short period of hostility, they might be contented or compelled to continue. The lines of employment which they thus leave, become, in consequence, open to neutrals, who now carry on the various branches of foreign trade, from which they were formerly excluded. Thus it happened from the combined effects of our astonishing naval superiority, and the unprecedented length of the war, that almost all the foreign commerce of France, and a large proportion even of the coasting trade, have fallen into the hands of neutral nations, and particularly of the Americans, who have the greatest facilities of maritime carriage, and the most rising commercial system. Among other branches of the French commerce now engrossed by American traders, with the permission of both governments, is that of the colonies. As their trade, during peace, was subject to the strict rules of the Navigation Law, common to all the maritime powers of Europe, a peculiar objection has been taken to its being suddenly laid open by the enemy to neutrals during war, for the evident purpose of screening it from our just hostility. And this interference of the Americans, in order to assist such a scheme, has been supposed inconsistent with the relations of neutrality which their nation professes to maintain.
It is in vain the supporters of the belligerent rights contend, that England conquers the French Marine, nor reduces it aim to annihilation. Her ships of war may be captured, but the commerce of France is safe. She may declare war when she pleases; and without a ship to make head against our weakest cruiser, she has a sure method of at once protecting her whole trade, more certainly than if she had the entire command of the seas. She has but to suspend her navigation law, to admit the Americans into her colonial and coasting trade, and to fit out vessels for sea under French colours. The English cruizers may domineer over the seas and yet they are unable to touch a ton of her trade. She has millions floating on the vessels of neutral nations, which no enemy can reach. She reaps the whole benefits of commerce and of colonies, without the risk of capture or detention. She may fit out nothing but privateers or cruizers to attack our trade and distress our colonies while her own are beyond the efforts of our armed vessels. She unites the whole benefits of war with all the security of peace. The rule, it is contended, which should guide us in this question, as the fairest measure of justice to all parties is, that neutrals can only take part during war, in such branches of commerce as the domestic regulations of the belligerent allowed them to partake in during peace. This doctrine was recognized, we are told, in the war of 1756, and has never since been disputed, tho' England has frequently departed from its rigor by voluntary concessions. Its policy is as obvious as its justice, say the enemies of the neutral claims. Were the present principle of unlimited neutral trade to be recognized, England might give over every pretension to naval power, abandon the hope of cutting French commerce, and despair at once of gaining any thing by a continuance even of the justest war. Should the support of our maritime rights lead to a rupture with the neutrals, which, however, is said to be most improbable, we can lose little by such an addition to the number of our enemies, in comparison of the vast detriment which we now sustain, from those neutrals tying up our hands against all the enemies, we have to contend with. Better, say they, have America as well as France, hostile, and exposed to our fair attacks, than France
openly hostile, and America covertly protected from every effort of our enmity. This will give us a chance of speedily terminating the war, or at least secure the opportunity of rendering both fast and lucrative.
(To be continued.)
NEW YORK, June 12.
The ship Charleston, captain Hall, in 29 days from Liverpool, arrived at the quarantine ground last night. By this vessel we received London papers to the 1st May, and extract from them the following articles.
The house of Peers were proceeding the trial of lord Melville. On the 1st of May, after the examination of some witnesses, Mr. Adam, counsel for lord Melville, made a most brilliant speech, and was followed by Mr. Plumer.
London, May 1.
By the Prevoyante store ship, arrived at the Downs, the following letter is received, dated
GIBRALTAR, 31st of March.
"This day's letters from Spain state, that a war between that country and Portugal is certain, and that 50 000 French troops are on their march to Portugal. His majesty's ship Pompee, rear admiral sir Sidney Smith, captain Dacres, arrived here on the 27th instant, with a fleet under convoy from Falmouth, in 28 days passage.
This morning we received Paris papers to the 20th, and Dutch to the 26th. The return of the French troops who were evacuating Germany, has not only been suspended, but marshal Lefebvre's corps 20,000 strong, which had but a few days crossed to the left bank of the Rhine, has recrossed it at Mentz, and advanced into Darmstadt. Great preparations are making to place Brannau in a respectable state of defence, and the head quarters of the French are still at Ulm. Yet an article from Sturgard of the 12th states the suspension upon the return of the Austrian prisoners to Austria has been taken off, which would seem to shew that some arrangement of the difference between the two powers had taken place. The following are the principal contents of the French and Dutch papers, which are of considerable importance:
Paris, April 20.
Upon being continued in the office of president of the Tribune, M. Fabre de L'Aude, after expressing the grateful sense of the favor conferred upon him by the emperor and the Tribune, said, "Justice requires us, Gentlemen, to proclaim this truth, with which we must be all impressed by our official communications with the emperor. The necessity of preserving France her freedom and independence, of recruiting her navy, of opposing strong measures to the Continental Powers which still think of weaving new plots, and coalitions by violating the faith of treaties, could alone have induced his majesty to increase the indirect contributions."
The expenditure for the year is stated to be 894 millions (between 38 and 39 millions sterling).
Baron de Gravenreuth, the king of Bavaria's minister of war, and Envoy Extraordinary to the emperor of the French, arrived at Paris. Admiral Villeneuve is also expected from Morlaix.
Letters from the banks of the Rhine announce the entire suspension of all the orders relative to the evacuation of Germany by the French. Brannau, which was to be evacuated on the 3d, is to be fortified more strongly by the French. All the troops of the grand army have stopped their march towards the Raine. Lefebvre's corps has even repassed to the right bank.
Frankfort, April 11.
General Kalkreuth, has been ordered by his sovereign to take military possession of Pomerania and the Isle of Rugen. Resistance is expected.
Since the invasion of Dalmatia by the Russians, fresh clouds have darkened the political horizon, and Germany, which had already suffered so much, is once more deprived, for the moment at least, of the hopes, of being released from the burthen of foreign troops. Marshal Berthier, has ordered the troops to halt, and Brannau is not to be evacuated. Lefebvre's corps has resumed, its cantonments in Darmstadt. Yet since general Leopold Berthier has set off from Vienna for Paris, it is said that all difficulties are removed between Austria and France, on the subject of Custrin, and that till that place is surrendered to France, the latter will continue to occupy Brannau.
Hamburg, April 9.
Some fermentation is said to exist in Sweden. The Chamber of Commerce at Stockholm having been convoked last

Letter was read from the King, in which he demanded a contribution to enable him to purchase a number of the ships of the line or frigates to protect the Swedish ships against the French privateers, which had taken a great number of them. The discussion enabled some members to express their opinions on the subject. The discussion was subjected by her royal highness to the King. [We do not believe a word of this story.]
Upon the motion for the second reading of the bill for the repeal of an additional tax on beer, an interesting discussion took place in the house of commons last night, in which Mr. Canning distinguished himself by one of the most agreeable & elegant speeches we ever heard; he said with his usual ability to the various errors, who described themselves as concentrating all their talents and all the patriotism of the country. None of the ministers took any part in the discussion; a circumstance of a singular nature.
Mr. Canning proposed as an amendment to the motion for the second reading of the bill, that it be read a second time that day three weeks. A division took place, and 119 divided for Mr. Canning's amendment, 33 against it. The amendment was of course lost but the minsrs did not seem to be at all prepared to expect that opposition would divide so large a number. It doubles the amount of what the concentration of all the talents, genius, and patriotism of the country were in the habit of dividing during the greater part of Mr. Pitt's administration.
A second debate took place after the division. The question put by Mr. Canning, Mr. Windham replied, that he had no intention of making any alterations in the new military plan which he proposed before the recess.
Four transports arrived in the Downs yesterday from the river with troops on board. Their destination is a profound secret.
In a second edition, yesterday, we inserted the following communication sent to Lloyds from the admiral.
Admiral's Office, April 30, half past one P.M. The Donegal has just arrived at Sheerness, and the following message has been received by the Telegraph - Captain M c Lean passed Cape May with Admiral Duckworth on the 20th of March.
The Donegal and the Braave parted company with the other ships, on the 8th of the Western Islands. On the morning of the 10th the Braave's main mast went overboard, and she began to open very much. The crew were therefore removed on the course of the day she foundered - she had been very much cut up in Admiral Duckworth's action.
The Jupiter, one of the other prizes arrived at Spithead last night.
From the London Courier of the 1st of May.
Portsmouth, April 30. This morning arrived the Donegal, of 90 guns, captain Pultney Malcolm, out of Sir John Duckworth's squadron, from Jamaica, from whence she sailed on the 8th of March, with the Canopus, 80, Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Louis, captain Austen; Spencer, 74, hon. captain Stopford; Jupiter, (prize) 74, Capt. Gill; L'Alexandre, (prize) 74, captain Impey; and the Braave, (prize) 80, captain Boyer. The Donegal and La Braave parted from the other ships on the 8th instant, off the Western Islands; and, on the 12th, during a heavy gale of wind, the Braave foundered. She had been much cut up in the action; on the morning of the 12th instant, her main mast fell overboard, and she was found to open very much; all her people were removed to the Donegal during that day, and in the evening she went down. Sir John Duckworth, in the Superb, captain Keats, with the Acasta frigate, captain Dunn, sailed from Port Royal for his station off Cadiz, several days before these ships. The Canopus, Spencer, and the other two prizes, it was expected by the Donegal would have reached Spithead before them, as they were detained two days of the gale in attending to La Braave. General Carmichael, who lost all his things in the Braave, is landed from the Donegal. The Avon sloop, captain Snell, which arrived last night from Lisbon, brings an account of Sir Sidney Smith having joined Lord Collingwood, and that captain Digby was appointed to the Swiftsure, one of the Trafalgar prizes, which may be hourly expected home. The Tope French frigate, was afraid to leave Lisbon, notwithstanding there were no ships watching her.
Deal, April 30. A large fleet of Swedish merchantmen, are just arrived in the Downs from the Westward, and are now coming to anchor to wait for pilots to conduct them to the Nore, where they will remain till an English man of war is appointed to escort them to their different places of destination. This attention on the part of our government to the protection of the Swedish commerce is highly meritorious, at the same time that it shews the good understanding subsisting between the two kingdoms.
Three or four sail of large coppered transports from the river, having on board the 21st regiment of foot, are come into the Downs where they will remain till joined by the rest of the regiments that are designed on the same service; and so secret is the place of their destination kept, that the officers themselves only suppose they are going on foreign service.

Corn Exchange, April 30. There are few fresh arrivals of wheat here to day, which is in but short supply, & few buyers in this trade. Grey peas a trifle dearer. Government having taken off the embargo on the Prussian vessels laden with oats, on security being given, they are now brought to market; but being mostly of second quality, and out of condition, they are sold at lower prices.

The frigate mentioned in our last, to be below, is the Chichester, of 44 guns, commanded by Captain Stopford, (belonging to Admiral Cochrane's Squadron), on the windward station in 18 days from Barbadoes. The object of her coming here is, we learn, for stores.

E. 1 1/4 East, fourteen miles from Clear Island Light, which is placed on the point of the harbor of Westport, for the convenience of strangers running in during gales of wind.
Extract of a letter from an American merchant, residing at Monte Video, dated March 10, 1806. An order of the court has arrived here against our trading with this place, so that great difficulty will arise to obtain permission to trade, and indeed at present, I would not advise any speculation to come this way, as the government is extremely arbitrary, and the produce of this country is high, and no freights to be had.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated May 3, to a gentleman in Philadelphia. Flour and wheat have taken a rise, in consequence of our being deprived of supplies from Prussia; and considerable orders have in consequence gone out to America. Speculations were yesterday made at 51s 6d per barrel, and I think there is every reason of its continuing at least as high as 50s during the summer, and on the approach of winter it will no doubt rise.
Low descriptions of Cotton are scarce in the market, which causes them to keep their present prices. The last arrivals from Charleston have been principally Sea Island. We are this day favored with American papers announcing the unpleasant resolution of Mr. Nicholson for prohibiting the importation of certain British goods which have passed in the House of Representatives. It is the general belief here that the Senate will not be so intemperate as to sanction these proceedings. If they do I cannot see the least advantage that can result to your country from such a mode of conduct. America is certainly as yet but a child, not arrived at sufficient maturity to DICTATE laws to age and experience.

Extract of another letter from a respectable house in Liverpool to their correspondents in Philadelphia:
The gloom which overspread our market upon the first intelligence of the commercial aggressions of Prussia, was in a great degree very unexpectedly dispersed, by government having announced that ships under Pappenburgh and Kuyphusen colors may clear out for any of the ports in Holland or Sweden; and is now further dispelled by the official notification, that Hamburgh, Bremen and Cidenburgh ships may clear out for any port not under blockade upon conditions of returning to Great Britain within three months. These privileges will be of essential benefit to the holders of West India produce, and our cotton market partakes of this advantage in a high degree, since it is now clearly ascertained that channels are still left open for an intercourse with the continent, and it is to be hoped that the inconveniences usually attendant on new arrangements will speedily be surmounted.
At first it was not doubted, that a system of complete exclusion had been formed, and that Swedish Pomerania would be destined to swell the catalogue of plundered provinces, previously to its cession to Prussia; but whether this boon is considered by his imperial majesty as too great for his faithful protegee, or circumstances are not yet ripe enough in that quarter, it is not easy to determine.
Though war has not yet been actually declared against Prussia, it is very generally expected, and the recent orders from Government not to pay any money on account of the freights of the detained cargoes, shew that the dispute is not yet in a train of amicable adjustment; indeed what can be expected by negotiation with a government which has lost its independence without striking a blow? Prussia must now send to Paris for instructions. Political topics have usually been considered as irrelevant in commercial correspondence but now when the cause of almost every alteration in our prices may be distinctly traced to some political event, the unfortunate alliance of commerce with politics is become too evident, and we could not state with sufficient precision, the causes which influence our prices, if we omitted the weightiest of them all.
In speaking of the bill lately before congress, respecting the impressment of American seamen by British ships of war, and which according to our advices, excited much attention in the British ministerial circles, a French official journal contains the following observations:
"We may here remark the energy of a nation that is conscious of its own dignity. America has no navy, compared with England she is weak; yet she is resolved to exert her utmost efforts even to risk the perils of a war - nay, to perish! if it must be, in order to support the honor of her flag, and to assert and maintain her rights. With what shame must not such a conduct confound that other power, which, under the cannon of Nelson, betrayed the cause of nations, rent asunder the charter of sovereigns, and acknowledged as legitimate the tyranny of the English over the sea. Such are not the deeds that lead to glory. - From that moment all the weaker states have been delivered over to the oppression & vexations of England, whose caprice are laws to which they must submit. What a marked difference there exists between the successors of Catherine and the great Emperors."
Prussia is the only power that has not adhered to these principles so dishonorable to sovereigns. Denmark has defended herself in her capital, which was bombarded, and exposed herself to every kind of danger, but she was at length compelled to yield to the influence of her neighbours. It now belongs to America, to raise her voice, and loudly to reclaim the rights of all nations and to vindicate a cause, which the intrigues of England, with her threats and her money have induced the powers of Europe to betray."
It was observed of a gentleman, who possessed great learning, but was extremely silent in company, that his mind was a library of the most valuable information upon which a sprightly female wittily remarked, that if it was a library, it was no a circulating one.
To remove and keep clear of bed bugs. Aloes of the Succotrina kind, to be had from most druggists and apothecaries, dissolved in any kind of spirit to the consistency which may be applied to the joints and crevices of the bedstead or elsewhere, with a feather, will certainly kill and remove them. About an ounce of aloes in
a gill of spirit, will clear several bedsteads, and the cost be but a few cents. It is a good method to mark the head of a singer with the Lignum Sand each foot of the bed posts.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A foreign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH. This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is perfectly agreeable and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the state of Maryland.
Gentlemen, 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 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 forensis and with obstinate 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. Mr. Asahel Henry, Bridge Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold, gauging several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper. He has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—excess in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females—a certain period of life—bad hygiene, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weakness, Fibrosis (or white) Discharges, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obstinate ulcers, Impotency, &c. &c. In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a permanent cure in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, gally, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely: That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold, after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life; not withstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, to commonly complained of operating with violence, on the contrary a particular excellence of this is
its mildness, not only is it perfectly innocent, and so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, but it also expels the worms, and thereby prevents the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual in carrying off all gross humors and corruption, levers, and bilious complaints, and the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz: the Tereas or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Oxyuridina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm. To be called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Scratching and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with drowsiness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance; and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and distressing disorders of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in stock cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—By Hamilton's WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away a piece of FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but renewed all his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a number of his neighbors and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Easttown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a more mucus but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, to often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant. JOHN MOLTHER.

Runaway Negro JACK.
Ran away from the subscriber, living in Pomonkey Neck, Charles county, Maryland, on the 15th of last June, a Negro man named JACK, about 50 years of age, and about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, lusty and well made, his voice an uncommon roar, and bold in his manner. I don't know any thing that will make a stranger suspect Jack's eloquence more than that of calling himself a Burglar , and that of argument.
JACK came from Guinea when he was about 12 or 13 years of age. There is a scar on the back of one of his hands occasioned by a burn or scald while an infant, it must be discovered by a notice; each of his shins are flame-colored about 4 or 5 inches in length and better than an inch broad in different places.
Whoever brings said Jack home, or delivers him in jail that I get him again, shall receive Twenty Dollars for the first 20 miles, Thirty Dollars for 30 miles, or Forty Dollars for 50 miles, and One Shilling for each mile after, and reasonable charges paid by
RICHARD BRANDT.
May 30. The above Negro Jack eloped from me better than twelve months past, and was brought home by one of Judge Washington's overseers, with a pass and recommendation signed by Thomas Teat, Middle River Neck. Baltimore county, dated May 23, 1805. Jack then called him self Thomas Harris.
