FRENCH LANGUAGE.
A GENTLEMAN, who has devoted a considerable part of his time to the study of foreign languages and the manner in which they may be taught with most advantage, is desirous to give Lessons in French, which, being now considered as a necessary branch of polite education, he flatters himself to meet with sufficient encouragement—and the method of teaching which he means to adopt, (being that of Mr. N. Dufief, so generally approved of) added to a strict attention to a clear and proper pronunciation, will enable his pupils to acquire the language in a shorter time, than that which has hitherto been in use—of which a little experience will prove the truth of his assertion.
As his family lives a short distance from Alexandria, he intends to remove to the town as soon as he finds a prospect to defray the expenses of house-keeping, and invites therefore those who wish to be instructed to make their applications, the sooner the better, to Mr. GENERES, who will give the necessary information.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, man contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Pickering's Speech continued.]
Gentlemen have said much about insurrection; and, in language not very conciliatory, pointed all their illusions to the people of New England. Our rulers pronounced them rebels, more than thirty years ago: while many then unborn now wish to cover themselves with their mantle, and to share the honors of the patriots of seventeen hundred and seventy-six.
But why should gentlemen be surprised that great discontent prevails in the country; and that the legislatures, with a deliberation and solemnity which should command attention, have pronounced their opinions of the embargo. Gentlemen will recollect that there the revolution began, of which Boston was the cradle. And if they will turn to the declaration of independence, they will find one of the reasons for the colonies separating themselves from G. Britain, and renouncing the government of the king, was their enacting laws "For cutting off our trade with all the world."
Mr. President, in a public document on our tables, we are told, that "after a period of twenty-five years of peace, hardly interrupted by transient hostilities, and of prosperity unparalleled in the history of nations, the U. States are for the first time, since the treaty which terminated the revolutionary war, placed in a situation equally difficult, critical and dangerous."
That our country has enjoyed such unexampled prosperity I readily agree; but the present is not the first time that these states have been placed in a difficult, critical and dangerous situation.
The gentleman from Connecticut yesterday noticed the most difficult crisis. In 1792, it required all the firmness and immense popularity of President Washington to stem the torrent of popular delusion, that was hurrying the U. St. into the vortex of the French revolution.
In 1794, the same steadiness, the same undeviating pursuit of the public welfare, in spite of popular clamor and formal opposition, were necessary to institute a mission to Great Britain, to negotiate and settle with that government questions of the highest moment to these states, and which, if they remained much longer unsettled might endanger the peace of the nation. The negotiation, committed to the conduct of a statesman, than whom our country has produced not one more firm, more wise, or more upright, was, by his candor, ability and decision, brought to a happy conclusion, in fewer months than some more modern negotiators have occupied years, without being brought to any conclusion; unless their utter failure may be called a conclusion.
In 1795 the United States were agitated to their centre, by the opposition to the British treaty. Artful and aspiring demagogues seized upon the known prejudices of the people in regard to the two great contending nations; and exerting all their faculties to keep up the popular delusion, hoped that, by the loud and extended clamor, the president would be deterred from ratifying the treaty which Mr. Jay had so happily concluded. Here again were displayed the firmness and patriotism of Washington. Always determined to pursue the true interests of the people, although at the hazard of his own popularity, he ratified the treaty. Here it was presumed all opposition would cease. But it again appeared, and with a more formidable aspect, in the national legislature. But I will not dwell upon it. The treaty was finally carried into execution. It had, however, one more enemy to encounter.
Revolutionary France, wishing to involve us in a war with Great Britain, which this treaty (merely of amity and commerce) had prevented, pretended that it was equivalent to a treaty of alliance with Great Britain. And seizing upon this pretence, at once to vent her resentment, and gratify the rapacity
of her rulers with the plunder of our citizens, she let loose her cruizers upon our commerce.
We urged the obligations of treaties, violated by these captures. She answered, that she found only a real disadvantage in those obligations! and continued her depredations. Repeated missions of respectable ministers to Paris endeavored to propitiate her rulers, and prevail on her to put a stop to such enormities. But they were deaf to the voice of justice. Then it was that our government authorised an armed commerce, and equipped a small but gallant navy for its protection; and made other defensive preparations, such as have been stated by the gentleman from Connecticut.
If, Sir, our country is now placed in a situation more "critical, difficult, and dangerous," than at any of the periods to which I have adverted, though I am very far from adopting that opinion, where shall we look for the cause? If in 1794, when England had powerful associates in her war with France, and the latter had been comparatively but little extended beyond her natural limits, the United States with perhaps two thirds of their present population and less than half her present revenue, were able to induce England to accede to her just demands, and to close all differences by an advantageous treaty: how has it happened, that the present administration, with all the accession of power from an increased population, and a more than doubled revenue, when too, gigantic France wielded the force and the resources of continental Europe, and England, single handed, was left to meet a world in arms, how has it happened, that with these superior advantages, and more powerful means, all the negotiations of the present administration with England [one excepted, of local rather than general application] have failed? Had they been conducted with equal ability, candor and dignity, must they not have produced as early and at least as advantageous results? Was this a cause of their failure, that points of questionable right, because not settled by the universally acknowledged law of nations, and therefore of doubtful or hopeless attainment, were pertinaciously insisted on?
Mr. President—to find a remedy for evils as well in the body politic as in the natural body, it is necessary to investigate their causes.
Nearly eight years have elapsed since we were told, by the highest authority in the nation, that under the auspices of the federal government, the United States were then "in the full tide of successful experiment." And the report on our tables, to which I have before alluded, declares, in grave and solemn language that during a period of five and twenty years, which brings us down to the embargo, the United States have enjoyed a "prosperity unexampled in the history of nations." Yet during the whole of this period of unequalled prosperity, arising from the active pursuits of commerce and agriculture, each giving life and vigor to the other, that commerce has been exposed to the aggressions of the belligerent nations. For those of Great Britain up to near the close of 1794, compensation was made, pursuant to the provisions of Mr. Jay's treaty. For the like aggressions by Spain, the like indemnity was given by virtue of the treaty with that power, concluded in October, 1795. For French spoliations during the whole period of the revolutionary war (spoliations which have been estimated at not less than millions of dollars) we have received nothing! Nor have we obtained any reimbursements from Spain for the spoliations committed by her cruisers, after she became the ally of France.
Captures and condemnations, however, more or less extended, have never ceased: notwithstanding all which, and the continued impressment of seamen from our merchant vessels, the same unexampled prosperity has attended us; until suddenly, and to the astonishment of the nation, this flowing tide of successful commerce and agriculture was stopped by that fatal measure, the embargo. The shock was aggravated by the concealment of its real cause. Sir, I hazard nothing in asserting, that to this day that cause has not been satisfactorily declared. Allow me time to justify this assertion. I will bring together facts and circumstances, and then gentlemen will judge whether my conclusion be erroneous or just.
On the 14th of December, 1807, the despatches brought by the Revenge from our ministers at Paris, were delivered to the secretary of state. On her arrival at New York, reports brought by her stated, that the French emperor had declared that there should be no neutrals. The sources of information, and the character of the emperor, rendered those reports worthy of credit; and though afterwards publickly and stoutly denied, they were believed; and no gen-
tleman here will now be inclined to doubt the fact. These reports, and the mystery which surrounded the recommended embargo, naturally excited suspicions and alarms.
[Speech to be continued.]
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, December 30.
DEBATE
On the Resolution for raising Fifty Thousand Volunteers.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Eppes's Speech continued.]
I have read this statement, sir, (said Mr. Eppes) because it is the deliberate and grave statement of a man arrived at that period of life when he is not so much under the influence of passion. It is a statement of facts, which if made by myself, might be attributed to party feeling. It proves that it never has been the policy of this nation lightly to embark in war. And however the gentleman from N. York and myself may differ in other respects, we unite in this; that no evil is so great as war, except a surrender of our independence; nothing short of an attack on which should induce any nation to resort to this alternative, injurious to every nation, but particularly so to ours.
So far then as we have progressed in our present situation. So far as the course pursued was calculated to preserve peace, it was a course which justice and humanity dictated, and which has been approved by the nation. But is there never to be an end to the sufferance of a nation? Is there no time when we shall act? The idea of a permanent embargo—and when on this part of the subject, I shall perhaps be told, as another gentleman was yesterday, that my observations resemble more the slang of an ale-house, than the debate of a deliberate body—this idea, I observe, is to be found in the speeches of those who opposed the measure. Such an idea cannot be inferred from the conduct of members of this house, or from any thing else which has occurred. It proceeds only from men, who from the first moment the measure was laid on the table, endeavored to place it in the most odious colors. Immediately after the measure was adopted last winter, what takes place, sir? A man, distinguished by the favor of the people, a man advanced in years, the very man who in '98, kept back the dispatches from Mr. Adams, and had almost plunged us into a war with France by this act. What does he do? In 1803, he displays the same spirit of hostility to France, which he manifested in '98; writes a letter, in which he attributes the embargo to French influence, to the mandates of Bonaparte. [Mr. Gaudener requested the gentleman from Virginia to name him.] Mr. Eppes—"General" Pickering. [It appeared to be doubted whether Mr. Eppes was in order. Mr. Smith said, that if the gentleman from New York was permitted to intimate his own government, a reply ought certainly to be allowed.] Mr. Eppes continued. I wish it to be understood by the speaker and the house, that I hold myself responsible to any man who is injured by my observations. No circumstance shall deter me from expressing the truth in relation to our affairs. It is time that the nation should see the strange union of sentiment between gentlemen in opposition, and that government which has injured us most. I am responsible for my assertions; I have a right to discharge my duty in that way which I please, and in that way I will. I then say this letter proceeded from the man who in 1793 was willing was anxious to involve the U. S. in a war with France. There was a party in this country in favor of it; and if correctly informed, the man who wrote this famous letter, is the head of that very party; a party known and connected under the name of the Essex Junto. This was the first stroke at the embargo; and what took place afterwards? I regret that a gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Livermore) is not in his place, whose speech as delivered to his constituents, was sent here some weeks before our last adjournment, said to have been delivered to the inhabitants of his district, in which he declared that southern members of influence in the republican party here, had openly declared to him their hostility to commerce! The gentleman has had the candor to declare that he did not make to his constituents such a statement; but, sir, it was circulated as his speech, immediately previous to the election, and although the gentleman never made such a speech, many people in Massachusetts believed that he had not only made the speech, but that it was a deliberate expression of his sentiments. These things justify the statement of the gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Story) that misrepresentations have been spread amongst the people. The federal printers have united
in giving currency to these misrepresentations. They have even made speeches for the members of congress; they have made them accuse the majority of congress of being under French influence. A sentiment of this sort has been given in a speech of the gentleman from N. York, (Mr. Gaudener) tho' it is denied.
[Mr. Gaudener said he never had expressed such an opinion; the speech which he had seen printed had not conveyed the idea. He never intended to express such an idea; for however he differed in opinion with gentlemen, he never had the slightest suspicion that gentlemen were governed by dishonest motives. He should hold a course as pernicious to the nation, and would cease to do so, thus performing a constitutional right, and a duty from which he would never shrink.]
It never has been my habit (continued Mr. Eppes) to attribute to gentlemen improper motives; I never have done so, in the course which has been pursued with the weight to the opinion already entertained. Great Britain that we are a divided people; that we are divided in opinion on what the gentleman from N. York himself has called a self-evident proposition—that the belligerent decrees cannot be submitted to without a surrender of our rights, independence and honor. Are we to be surprised that the people of Massachusetts or of any other parts of the U. S. are agitated when they find men so enlightened as their representatives in congress telling them that this is to be a permanent system? Do gentlemen really believe that it is our intention to abide by the embargo until our injuries are redressed, be that soon or late? Do they believe that we are destitute of sense? If one unequivocally deny that I ever had an idea, or any person with whom I conversed on the subject, except the gentleman who opposed it, to whom it was convenient to represent it as a permanent measure. And whatever gentlemen may say on other subjects, they will do me the justice to say that at the last session I told them my opinion that the period would arrive when the embargo would be removed; and that when it was, there was no other course than an open and direct, or submission. I do not gentlemen any where to find the embargo considered as a permanent measure, but in their own speeches and the prints of their party.

INDIAN TERRITORY.
On motion of Mr. Thomas,
The house resolved itself into the committee of the whole, Mr. W. Astor in the chair, on the bill for the division of the Indiana territory. The blanks in the bill were filled and it was reported to the House.
[The bill, as reported, provides that after the 1st day of March next, all that part of the Indiana territory, which lies west of the Wabash river, and a direct line drawn

from the said Wabash river and Post Vincennes, due north to the territorial line between the U. S. & Canada, shall for the purpose of temporary government, constitute a separate territory to be called ILLINOIS, and that until otherwise ordered by the Legislature of the said Illinois territory, Kaskaskia on the Mississippi, shall be the seat of government of the territory.]
The bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading without a division.
On motion of Mr. Dana, The bill for the relief of Edward Beement, now imprisoned for the sum of 400 dollars due, as a penalty to the U. S. went through a committee of the whole, Mr. Tazewell in the chair, was reported to the house and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT. On motion of Mr. Story, the house took up the report of the committee of the whole on the amendments of the Senate to the bill authorising the president of the U. States to employ an additional number of seamen and marines.
The question having been stated on concurring with the committee of the whole in their disagreement to the first amendment of the Senate, in the following words:
"That there be fitted out, officered, manned, and equipped, as soon as may be, all the frigates and other armed vessels of the U. States, and gun-boats: That the president of the United States be authorised and empowered to cause the frigates and armed vessels, so soon as they can be prepared for actual service, respectively, to be stationed at such ports and places on the sea coast, as he may deem most expedient, or to cruise on any part of the coast of the U. States or territories thereof."
Mr. Minor explained the reasons why he should now vote differently from his vote on a former occasion. He wished that the house would not concur with the committee of the whole in their disagreement to the first amendment.
Mr. Sturges assigned the reasons for his vote in a speech of about 20 minutes.
Mr. Story made a speech of about an hour and a quarter in favor of the amendments from the Senate.

So the amendment of the senate was NEGATIVED, by a majority of thirteen.
The other amendments of the senate were severally negatived. The yeas and nays were taken on the amendment inserting 440 seamen instead of 2000—as 41 to 73.
The bill of course is now sent back to the senate, as it originally went from the house, divested of the amendments which the body had made, and simply authorises the employment by the executive of 2000 additional seamen and marines.
TUESDAY. —A message was received from the senate, informing the house that they insist on their amendments to the bill for employing an additional number of seamen and marines, and that they have appointed a committee of conference on the
part to confer with a committee of the house of representatives on the subject.—The house did not act on the message.
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 19.
To the politeness of a gentleman of this town, we are indebted for the following extract of a letter of a later date from Liverpool than any heretofore received, and containing important and pleasing intelligence from Spain.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, to a gentleman of this town, dated
NOVEMBER 21, 1808.
"Some days ago dispatches arrived from Spain, advising that the French army under the command of general Ney, 25000 men strong, attacked the Spanish army under the command of general Blake, 17,000 strong—the action lasted nine hours, during which the Spaniards retained their ground, but finding themselves so inferior in numbers, they retreated during the night to Bilboa, and two days after fell back twenty miles further, where they were joined by the troops from the Baltic, under the command of general Romana—On the 5th of this month they attacked the French and the battle lasted four days, the French were completely defeated, Ney is killed, besides 9000 killed, wounded and prisoners—Blake is wounded. It is said the numbers of the two armies were nearly equal, but the objects for which they fought are very different."
To the Senate and House of representatives of the United States—
I communicate to congress certain letters which passed between the British Secretary of State, Mr. Canning, to Mr. Pinkney our minister plenipotentiary at London. When the documents concerning the relations between the United States and Great Britain were laid before Congress at the commencement of the session, the answer of Mr. Pinkney to the letter of Mr. Canning had not been received, and a communication of the latter alone would have accorded neither with propriety nor with the wishes of Mr. Pinkney. When that answer afterwards arrived, it was considered that as what had passed in conversation had been superseded by the written and formal correspondence on the subject, the variance in the statements of what had verbally passed was not of sufficient importance to be made the matter of a distinct and special communication. The letter of Mr. Canning, however, having lately appeared in print, unaccompanied by that of Mr. Pinkney in reply and having a tendency to make impressions not warranted by the statements of Mr. Pinkney, it has become proper that the whole should be brought into public view.
TH: JEFFERSON.
Jan. 17, 1809.
LONDON, Sept. 24, 1808.
SIR, I am now enabled to transmit to you a copy of Mr. Canning's answer, received only last night, to my note of the 23d of Aug. This answer was accompanied by a letter of which also a copy is enclosed, recapitulating what Mr. Canning supposes to be "the substance of what has passed between us at our several interviews previous to the presentation of my official letter."
To the accompanying paper I think it indispensable that I should reply without delay. Supporting with politeness, but with firmness, the statements, which I have already had the honor to make to you, of the conversations in question, and correcting some errors upon points, which Mr. Canning has thought fit to introduce into his letter, but which I had not supposed it necessary to mention in detail in my dispatches.
I shall not detain Mr. Atwater with a
view to this reply; but will take care to forward a copy of it by an early conveyance. My official note and the answer to it being perfectly explicit, Mr. Canning's misapprehensions (for such they are) of previous verbal communications can scarcely be very important in a public view; but it is, nevertheless, of some consequence that, whatever may be the object of his statement, I should not make myself a party to its inaccuracies, by even a tacit admission of them.
I do not perceive that a formal reply to the more official paper can now be of any advantage; but I shall probably take occasion to combine with my reply to the one paper some observations upon the other.
I regret extremely that the views which I have been instructed to lay before this government, have not been met by it as I had at first been led to expect. The overture cannot fail, however, to place in a strong light the just and liberal sentiments by which our government is animated, and in other respects to be useful and honorable to our country.
I have the honor to be, With the highest consideration, Sir, Your most ob't. humble serv't, WM. PINKNEY. Hon. James Madison, &c.
[Here follows the letter of Mr. Canning to Mr. Pinkney, already published. If, on examination, there should appear to be any variation between the original and the copy, we shall notice it in our next.]
Great Cumberland Place, September 24, 1808.
SIR, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your answer to my official note of the 23d of last month, relative to the British orders in council of January and November, 1807, together with a statement of "the substance of what has passed between us at our several interviews, previous to the presentation of that note."
I shall lose no time in transmitting to my government copies of both these papers, upon the last of which I will take the liberty, in the course of a few days, to trouble you with some observations.
I have the honor to be, With the highest consideration, Sir, your most obed't serv't. WM. PINKNEY. The right hon. Geo. Canning, &c. &c.
LONDON, October 11, 1808.
SIR, I have the honor to transmit enclosed a copy of my reply to Mr. Canning's letter to me, of the 23d of last month, accompanying his official answer of the same date to my note of the 23d of August.
I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, Sir, your most obedient humble serv't WM. PINKNEY. Hon. James Madison, &c. &c. [Mr. Pinkney's answer to Mr. Canning's letter to-morrow.]
Retaking of the Schooner Liberty.
The officer and men belonging to the Wasp sloop of war, who were put on board the sch. Liberty, of Brewster, which was advertised in this Gazette of the 5th instant, as stolen from the harbor of Plymouth, and mentioned in our last as taken by the Wasp, off Race Point, arrived in town on Tuesday night last, from Provincetown, where she (the Liberty) put in, owing to head winds.—They are said to state, that on Monday night, a party of about forty "Indians" headed by "Blue, or Red Jacket," boarded the Liberty, put the Wasp's officer and crew on shore, and then took the "Liberty" to put to sea.—These "Indians," are said to be descendants of the "Aborigines," who destroyed the tea in the year 1774.

Astonishing Female Artist. [This young Lady's performance is entirely different from the young Lady's who performed in Alexandria about a year since.]
THE Ladies and Gentlemen of Alexandria are respectfully informed, that a more singular and surprising instance of the wonderful productions of nature, was, perhaps, never so apparently demonstrated, as in the case of MISS SARAH ROGERS, a young Lady who has performed in Baltimore for some time past, and by the solicitations of a number of reputable families, has been induced to spend a few days in Alexandria, at Mr. Thornton's, King-street, between Water and Union-streets.
Miss ROGERS is a native of New Hampshire—she was born without the use of either hands or feet, but the amends made in the exercise of her other faculties, surpasses all human belief; without the use of any of her limbs, and with her mouth only, she will paint elegant Flowers and Landscapes, Mix Colours, Write, Thread a Needle, Cut Paper, or Cloth with the Scissors , held in her mouth &c. &c.
Those ladies and gentlemen, who are desirous of seeing the displays of genius exhibited by this Young Lady, and one of the fine arts explored in a most extraordinary manner, without the natural use of the hands and arms, and with the mouth only, are invited to improve the present and perhaps the only opportunity they ever will have, of partaking of this delightful and rational amusement, as they may not in a great number of years, if ever again, behold so pleasing and wonderful a sight.
Hours of admission every day and evening, (Sundays excepted) from nine o'clock in the morning till nine in the evening.
Admission twenty-five cents. N. B. Large Paintings fit for framing, and gentlemen's Watch papers elegantly executed by this Young Lady, for sale at the above place.

And no where else in Alexandria.
Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 55 Maiden Lane.
This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe head ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require.
In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney.
During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY, No. 145, Cherry street, New York

(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common sense remark however is too often FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their 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 Calton.
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 to be advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin 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, Harness 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 Dobbin 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.
