CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, March 7. BRITISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE
In committee of the whole on the state of the union—Mr. F. C. Smith in the chair—on the resolution offered by Mr. Gregg.
(Mr. Edmiston's Speech concluded.)
The effect of this measure upon the revenue is a subject of great alarm; it is to render us bankrupt in fortune as well as reputation. The annual revenue of the United States, on an average of the three last years, has been 11,550,000 dollars, of which 5,432,000 dollars are derived from our imports from the British dominions, and 6,118,000 dollars from our imports from the rest of the world. This is certainly a very serious view of the subject; but we believe that this measure will not produce war, and of course that it will not paralyse our commerce. Our merchants will still be enterprising, and will have new inducements to enterprise; our flag will still wave on every sea and in every clime; from new sources and channels of commerce we shall derive articles similar to those now imported from Britain, or tolerable substitutes; and the increased price of those articles will add something to the revenue, while it will be in some degree diminished by the general effect. Gentlemen of great commercial information, have calculated that the revenue will not be diminished to the amount of one million; but let us suppose that it will be lessened two millions, or even 2,350,000 dollars. With only nine millions instead of eleven and a half, it is certain that we cannot expend three or four millions for the support of government, and sustain besides the annual appropriation of eight millions for the payment of the national debt. But let us suppose the worst, and what follows? We may submit to the usurpations of Great Britain on the ocean, we may throw at her feet every thing but nominal independence and honor, we may disgrace and degrade ourselves in the eyes of the world, and we shall extinguish our national debt in 1816, 1817 or 1818. On the other hand, we may assume a manly and dignified national spirit, we may recal the principles and the habits of the revolution, we may arm our government with sufficient energy to vindicate and maintain our national rights, we may command respect from other nations, and and we shall extinguish our national debt in 1824, 1825, or 1826. This may be the alternative in the last resort, but for the present we can increase the ratio, and of course the quantum of the duties which constitute the revenue. In hard times we must expect to bear hard burdens.
The adoption of this measure, we are told, will throw an unequal and unreasonable weight upon our southern brethren; it is feared that it will not only lessen the price, but utterly preclude the market, of their staple export commodities. Here we ought to pause and reflect; and if such an evil will flow from this source, we ought to abandon the project.
Upon reflection we do not believe that such will be the consequence. The two great articles of southern exportation are cotton and tobacco. The value of our annual exports, for the three last years, to the dominions of Great Britain in Europe only, has been 15,690,000 dollars, of which the value of cotton has been 5,640,000 dollars, and of tobacco 3,220,000, both together 8,860,000. Deducting from the gross amount of 15,690,000 the sum of 2,260,000 for foreign goods re-exported, we have 13,430,000 for all the articles of domestic produce, and of course the southern states furnish nearly two thirds in value of our domestic exports to the European dominions only of Great Britain. But our exports to the British colonies, in all parts of the world, consist of the productions of the northern and middle states; of provisions and live stock, lumber, naval stores, pot ash, furs, and foreign merchandise, acquired by the carrying trade. And cotton and tobacco are now exported to other parts as well as Great Britain; the total annual value of the exports of cotton being 6,940,000, & of tobacco 6,143,000 dollars, these two articles (and there are no others of consequence exported from the southern states except rice which is apparently of inconsiderable value) amounting in the whole to 13,083,000, which deducted from 19,928,000, the whole amount of exports of
domestic produce, leaves 26,845,000 dollars for the exports almost exclusively of the northern and middle states. It is not believed that this measure will shut up the British market for a raw material so necessary to their manufactures as our cotton. A non-importation is not in itself a non-exportation: One export may still go to Great Britain, as it will be her interest to receive them. But suppose she adopts measures of retaliation against her interest, and excludes them. When we know that even in the present war she opens free ports in her colonies for a partial commerce with her enemies, and when we are told that the French armies are now clad in British manufactures, can we doubt that the British government, with that depth of commercial as well as national policy for which it is distinguished will, whatever may be its ostensible acts, open some indirect channel of trade by which to supply itself with an article so essential to the system of its manufactures? Besides, as I have already observed, in reference to importation, even the preclusion of the British market would open a new one for this article in France and other countries, by holding out an encouragement for them to extend and improve those manufactures of which it forms the raw material.
The only effect upon the articles of cotton and tobacco would be a small decrease of their price, and perhaps that only temporary, and would not a similar effect be produced upon the productions of other parts of the union? Would not the price of the exports of the northern and middle states, of our beef, pork, butter, cheese, dried and pickled fish, flour, wheat, corn, lumber, and all other articles, be affected? Unquestionably. We hoped this would have been viewed as a great national question upon a great national scale, and not made a local one. But does not the carrying trade, which we wish to protect, present a local question also? Is it not almost exclusively carried on by citizens of the northern and middle states?
It is said that this trade produces a revenue of only 350,000 dollars. But what is the amount of the trade, and why does it not produce more revenue? The annual value of articles of foreign produce, re-exported to all parts of the world, is estimated at 28,533,000 dollars. It produces but a small sum because it has been deemed good policy not to tax it, but to cherish, to patronize it, as a source of industry & profit.
But some gentlemen are not inclined to protect this trade, and some even hazard an opinion that it is injurious to the country. We thought the principle advanced by able writers on political economy, was equally settled with men of science and men of common sense, that the amount of the wealth of a nation is composed of the combined amount of the produce of its land and labor, of its industry upon the ocean as well as upon the terra firma; and that five millions of dollars, earned in the carrying trade, the product of labor on the seas, by citizens of the United States, and incorporated into the great stock of our national wealth, were just equal to five millions of dollars acquired by the labor of the husbandman. The impressment of our seamen too may be viewed as a local question; those unfortunate men belong to the northern and middle states. Gentlemen seem to consider them as persons of no character or consequence, mere adventurers on the ocean, wandering beyond the limits and the powers of the national jurisdiction and protection. Not so. They are men and citizens, they have friends, connexions, and a home, and are employed in an honest occupation; and surely the impressment of thousands of them, in a state of worse than African slavery, on board those floating castles which spread terror through the world, is a local question of as much importance as the price of cotton and tobacco. On this subject alone the friends of the resolution are prepared to say that strong measures ought to be adopted, and ought never to be abandoned, until our flag shall be suffered to protect those over whom it waves. If the American eagle is disposed to sit beneath the feet of the British lion, he can expect nothing but contempt and outrage; but it is in his power to take a more elevated situation, to soar out of reach, and be at once secure and triumphant.
Not only are the peculiar interests of our southern brethren to be sacrificed by this measure, but it is to lead to war with Great Britain. On what is this idea founded? On the cool calculating character of her celebrated minister? It will be in itself no cause of war; it is a commercial regulation merely; and we have the same right to adopt it that Great Britain has to pass those laws by which she imposes greater duties on the exportation of goods, wares
and merchandise to the U. States than are imposed on similar articles exported to the nations of Europe. It is neither more nor less than a commercial regulation; a part of the system of managing our own concerns in our own manner; and it ought not to be presumed that it will produce war. Can Great Britain wish, at the present moment, to add to the number of her enemies? She is indeed the soul of a powerful coalition, but she has a powerful enemy to contend with. She is fighting, not the battles of the human race, not for the rights and privileges of the people of Europe, least of all for the rights and privileges of the people of America, but for her own national existence. Her wooden walls, like those of ancient Athens, which, by the direction of an oracle, are said to have preserved that celebrated city from destruction, constitute the only barrier between herself and ruin. Are we the enemies of Great Britain? Not at all—except in war—enemies in war—in peace friends. We love the British people; we should be monsters if we did not, for British blood flows in our veins. We venerate those monuments of British learning and of British liberty, which have so long adorned the dark scene of Europe. We respect the power and the ability of the British government, and we will respect its magnanimity and justice, when it shall respect our rights. And are we the eulogists and flatterers of France; the last task we should wish to undertake would be that of adding new gems to the imperial crown of the emperor of France and king of Italy. I speak for myself alone, but I do not believe that the friends of the resolution have any peculiar partiality for emperors and kings. We would wish to navigate our political bark to any other port than that bestrided by the Colossus of universal empire. We have differences, with other nations besides Britain; but do we prostrate ourselves at their feet? We wish to treat nations as they treat us, for it is impossible for nations to pursue with success any other course of conduct; we would use them well or ill in proportion to the degree of friendship or injury we receive; with other nations, weaker measures may succeed, but the injuries we sustain from Great Britain demand strong measures, and we believe the one which is now proposed will produce the desired effect. Not that we are hostile to negotiation, but we wish to give to the instrument of negotiation a new tone. We fear that if this measure be not adopted, no energetic one will be; and that the report, Mr. Chairman, which it becomes your duty to make on retiring from that chair every evening, and yielding it to the honorable speaker, that the committee of the whole have had the state of the union under consideration and come to no resolution thereon, will continue to be the lame conclusion of every day's discussion during the present session. Having done our duty in supporting this resolution, we shall be as willing to meet our constituents as those gentlemen who gave a different vote. We wish for peace, we are anxious to avoid war, but we cannot submit to national disgrace.
[Debate to be continued]
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, April 30.
Foreign Intelligence.
Captain Swain of the ship Warcham, arrived yesterday in 41 days from Belfast, has favored the editors of the Daily Advertiser with Belfast papers to the 16th ult. containing London dates to the 12th, from which it appears that Mr. Tierney is to be the new governor of the Cape of Good Hope; that the French troops had overrun Naples, and the king and queen embarked in a frigate for Palermo, but, owing to the violence of the wind, were forced to anchor under the batteries, and in consequence became prisoners to the troops of the French emperor.
The French troops still kept up their forces in Germany; rumor states that they are intended to act against Prussia; others again state, that Prussia and France have concluded an alliance, and that a congress is to be held at Berlin, under the mediation of Prussia to negotiate a peace between England and France, and that the marquis of Douglas and Mr. Thomas Grenville will be sent as plenipotentiaries from England. But what appears most interesting to the American public is the annexed paragraph from the London Gazette of the 10th ult.
The most conciliatory measures are adopted by government for the adjustment of differences with the United States.
On Saturday 25 American seamen were discharged at Portsmouth from La Ville de Milan frigate. Sir Robert Laurie, lately returned from the Halifax station, Orders have been sent to the other ports to discharge all American seamen on board his majesty's ships.
London, March 10.
The fleet for the West Indies, consisting of about 150 sail, under convoy of six frigates, sailed from the cove of Cork, on the 3d inst.
There was a report, on Saturday evening, that a new proposition had been made to the transport board, for the exchange of prisoners. It is obvious that the emperor of the French earnestly desires to obtain the 9000 seamen detained in this country. He has no fewer than twenty-seven ships of war, all above fifty guns, on the stocks, which will be launched before mid-summer; and it would be a great thing for him to obtain a lopping exchange at the rate of five for two, which is the exact proportion, as we have about 18 000 French prisoners in England, and there are only 7,000 English in France.
Several conferences have taken place between Mr. Monroe the American ambassador, and his majesty's ministers, relative to matters in dispute between Great Britain and the United States; and there is every prospect of a speedy and amicable adjustment of all differences. Twenty-five American seamen were discharged on Friday, at Portsmouth, from La Ville de Milan frigate, sir R. Laurie, lately returned from the Halifax station. An order, we understand, has been received to discharge all American subjects from our ships.
The Paris papers contain an account of the surrender of the cities of Naples, Capua, Gaeta, and Pescara to the French army. Bonaparte was at the theatre Francaise, on the 24th last, when the dispatches announcing these events, arrived; and by his orders, the celebrated actor Talma, communicated the intelligence to the audience. We announced, in a former paper, the arrival of Joseph Bonaparte upon the Neapolitan frontier, at the head of the French army. In his progress into that kingdom, he divided his army into three corps. The right commanded by general Regnier, marched by Terracina and Gaeta, the left, consisting of the Italian corps, made its way by Itri, while he proceeded himself in person with the centre, under the immediate command of marshal Massena, by Germano and Capua. General Regnier, upon his arrival at Gaeta, summoned the prince of Hesse, who commanded the place, to surrender. The prince notified his intention of defending his post to the last extremity. In consequence of this answer, general Regnier ordered an attack to be made upon the redoubt of St. Andre, which he carried after a slight resistance, in which the French general Grigny was killed. On the 12th, the centre summoned Capua, and also met a refusal. On the 13th, however, deputies arrived from Naples and signed the surrender of Gaeta, Capua, Pescara, Naples, and the forts that command it.
The French general Partouneaux, immediately entered Naples, and on the 15th Joseph Bonaparte set out from Capua for the same destination. On the 23d of Jan. the king of Naples embarked for Sicily, leaving his family behind, of whom the hereditary prince was invested with unlimited powers to act in his absence. Apprised of the approach of the French army, the prince sent his brother with propositions to Joseph Bonaparte, which being rejected, the hereditary prince put himself at the head of the Lazzaroni; and his brother the prince Saint Theodore, endeavored to raise the people of Abrazza. Their efforts do not appear to have been seconded by the Neapolitans in general; and, indeed, the Paris papers do not hesitate to admit, that the French had a strong party both within and without the city of Naples. Under these circumstances no effectual resistance could be made, and the capitulation was signed. As farther evidence of the treachery and cowardice of the Neapolitans, we find that the Neapolitan officers had requested liberty to enter the French service. Joseph Bonaparte had formed several Neapolitan corps. He entered Naples on the 15th ultimo, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He was waited on by the college of regency, whom he received in the royal palace; on the following day he posted the proclamation, signed by the emperor, at Schoenbrunn, and that, it is said, gave great satisfaction to Naples. The queen of Naples, it is stated, has carried to Palermo, not only the royal property, but also a great deal of private property. She has taken ten millions from the bank of Naples, and most of the families of that city are described as ruined.

A frigate, a brig, and 15 transports, with muskets and property of different kinds, have been driven by a storm under the batteries of the Neapolitan coast, and taken possession of by the French.
On Sunday the 16th of February, prince Joseph attended mass, which was celebrated by cardinal Ruffo. On this occasion he took the opportunity of presenting Saint Janarius with a diamond necklace.
The French army found in the arsenal more than 800 pieces of cannon, and about 200,000 lbs. of gun-powder.
The French army is marching rapidly to Calabria. The 5 per cent. consuls are at 62 francs 80 centimes. The emperor Alexander has assembled a considerable part of a Russian army, of 186,000 men at Warsaw; and the Porte, taking the alarm, had made extraordinary efforts to reduce the insurgent provinces to subjection.
We find that the French army under general Augereau, has made an irruption into Hesse, and has likewise occupied the Prussian towns of Lippstadt, in Westphalia, and Dethmold, in the neighborhood of Paderborn; and report states that Hesse is to be revolutionized, and to assume its old title of The kingdom of the Carti. The army of Lefevre is advancing to cover the movements of Augereau and maintain his communication with the grand French army, which continues along the Black Forest.
The continent is agitated by these and several other military movements, and some speculators have predicted war between France and Prussia; but we have inserted a proclamation of marshal Bernadotte, to the people of Anspach, dated the 24th inst. announcing a treaty between those two powers, by which Prussia has agreed to cede Anspach to the king of Bavaria; and stipulating that the French should take possession of that territory, at the same time that Prussia should occupy Hanover. Other plans of partition, and territorial distribution, are evidently in their progress; and armies must be kept on foot for the purpose of military occupations, and carrying these new arrangements into effect. This may account for the present warlike appearances, without the supposition of meditated hostility between Prussia and France.
The archduke Charles, who was already minister at war, and possessed all the influence and patronage in the military department, is appointed generalissimo of the whole Austrian army, a charge confided to no other since the death of prince Eugene.
The report that Prussia intended to garrison Hamburgh, Bremen, and Lubec, has been officially contradicted.
The French and German papers contain several vague reports of a negotiation for peace between England and France, to be opened at Berlin; but no credit is attached to them.
Count Woronzow arrived in town yesterday. He is said to be the bearer of important dispatches from the emperor Alexander.
March 12.
The Paris papers of the 4th give an account of the opening of the session of the legislative body, with the speech delivered on that occasion by Bonaparte.
The session was opened with great pomp. The emperor began his speech by observing, that since their last meeting the greater part of Europe had been united with England; but that his armies had not ceased to conquer, until he had ordered them to combat no more. He then alluded to the advantages obtained by his allies; declared that the house of Naples had forever forfeited the crown of that country; stated, that Russia is indebted for the return of the wreck of her armies to the capitulation which he had granted; boasted of his moderation towards Austria; chiefly to the internal situation of France, he expressed himself in the following manner, with respect to this country.
"I desire peace with England—Not a moment's delay shall be experienced on my part. I shall be always ready to conclude it, taking for its foundation the conditions of the Treaty of Amiens."
Bonaparte alludes to the battle off Trafalgar, and says he lost some ships by the storm.
The intelligence from Berlin of the first, announces that in the convention concluded with France, Prussia has ceded Neufchatel and Valengin to France, Anspach to Bavaria, and Cleves to the archduke Ferdinand.
The Hamburg Gazette adds, that Wefel is also to be ceded to the Archduke. Nor is that all, the Elector of Hesse Cassel is to be raised to the kingly dignity, under the title of King of
Carti, and is to receive a large accession of territory. He is to have from Prussia the Bilkopric of Padenborn, and from Hesse Darmstadt the greater part of its possessions in Westphalia, and all its territories in the county of Wittenray; he is to have besides the country of Iller, all Waldeck except the county of Pyrmont which is to be given to Prussia. The Counties of Sayn, &c. He is to cede the Hessian part of Schauenburgh, Augsberg &c. to Prussia; and to Darmstadt, Hanau, with the district of Schwanfels. As the Elector of Hesse Cassel is very rich, Bonaparte we dare say has exacted a pretty large sum in payment for the kingly dignity and these large territorial accessions.
The following communication was yesterday sent from the Admiralty to the Lord Mayor in contradiction of the Dutch fleet having put to sea:
Admiralty Office, March 9, 1806. My Lord—Information having been received, from which it was supposed that the Dutch fleet had put to sea, I think it proper to inform your Lordship, that dispatches have been this day received from Vice Admiral Douglas, stating that the Flora frigate had reconnoitered the Texel and discovered the whole of the Dutch fleet lying in the Nieu Diep, apparently ready for sea. I have the honor to be, &c.

Liverpool, March 10. This morning between two and three o'clock it blew a dreadful storm, and the wind being northerly, not a vessel in the river escaped its fury. The Woolton, Guineaman, and the American ship Intrepid are on shore near the Fort; another is on shore near the Mile-house; many others are driven on shore on both sides the river to the number of not less than twelve to fifteen sail whose names we have not learned, besides several that have lost their boomsprits, &c. & are going to the Cotton Planter of New York.

MONDAY, MAY 5.
The two British ships of war came to anchor off the Hook yesterday morning. In the evening a flag boat with two officers came up to Port Jay. The commander at that place came to town immediately, but we have not learned what has transpired. [N. Y. pap.]
Extract of a letter from captain Pease, of the schooner Maryland to his owners, dated St. Jago, 28th March.
"I arrived here the 23th instant, after being taken in the Cayco's passage by two French pirates, and brought to anchor under the West Gate, when they took myself and people on board, one of the privates. Me they abused in a most shameful manner, they put me in irons, and then proceeded to plunder the schooner, they hoisted all the dry goods on deck, and opened every box; what they took away, I do not as yet know. They robbed the vessel of her small cable, all her spare rigging, runner and tackle, paints, oil and a number of other articles; a number of boxes of raisins, all my fowls, eggs, butter, great coat, hat, shoes, and the greatest part of the people's clothes. They had a rope rove from the mast head, and round the neck of one of the people for half an hour, to make him swear we were bound for Cape Francois, and threatened my life more than twenty times. After detaining us about twelve hours they suffered us to proceed."
Among the arrivals at Boston, are several ships from Liverpool, with news one day later than received at this port. The following interesting articles are copied from the Sun, of the thirteenth March. [New York Gazette.]
LONDON, March 13. According to a letter from Paris of the 22d ult. the pecuniary distress of the French government are as great as before Bonaparte's late brilliant campaign in Austria. Several more banking and merchant houses of Paris, Bourdeaux, Nantz, Lyons, and Marseilles, have stopped payment, and the public treasury was entirely exhausted. The army of the interior has not been paid for eleven months, and the army on the coast, not for seven months. Bonaparte's public functionaries have received no salaries for eight months, and his household troops are unpaid since 1st September. The armies of Germany and Italy have also several months pay due to them. The manufacturing towns are, however, in still greater distress than the seaports; because, while the former have neither capitals, workmen, or protection, the latter are regularly supplied with the productions of the French colonies by the assistance of American traders.
AMERICAN SEAMEN.
It is said to have been determined upon by our government to concede at least a portion of the claims made upon Great Britain on the part of the United States, by liberating the American seamen impressed into the navy. This is indisputably a measure highly honorable, and worthy of the British character; nor do we entertain a doubt of a similar conduct having been hitherto invariably adhered to, in every instance where the discrimination could possibly be made, or identity established. We trust a candid representation, and a dispassionate discussion, of the commercial complaints of the American merchants, will produce an adjustment equally equitable and satisfactory to two nations, whose interests are mutually interwoven, and between whom a lasting friendship is indispensably requisite to insure their future prosperity.
Although no official accounts have been received of such an event, reports have been industriously circulated that the government of the United States had declared war against Spain prior to the late advice leaving America, and that an expedition was preparing to proceed against some of the Spanish settlements upon the continent. We do not know what degree of credit ought to be attached to the rumour in question. Weak, however, as the force of Spain is known to be in that quarter, we are inclined to believe that America can make but little impression upon her Transatlantic dominions, the imbecility of the naval means of the United States rendering it impossible for them to achieve any conquest of importance.
In order to harass our combined forces by every possible exertion in the occidental hemisphere, it might perhaps be found policy were Great Britain to aid the American government in reducing all the settlements of Spain to her subjection; for, by doing so we should not only deprive our common enemies of the sources of their wealth and the sinews of war, but secure to ourselves at least a share, if not the greater part of the trade to that immense continent. Probably a wiser plan could not be pursued; and certainly, if such a transfer of territory
could be effected, a more deadly vital blow could not possibly be directed against the inordinate ambition of the Usurper of France.
We are now entering upon a maritime war, single-handed, against three of the principal naval powers in the world, and on the success which depends the fate of England. If the people are unanimous, victory will be the order of the day; and we shall stand in the estimation of surrounding nations, the omnipotent guardians of civilization. But if haggard fear, her & gloomy relative despondency, disgrace the land that gave Nelson birth, we must pass under the yoke of a bloody and inexorable Usurper. We shall be slaves and shall certainly deserve to be so.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete 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 so 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 colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensis and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught 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—residence 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 upon certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weakness,  Obstinate gleet,    Fluorosis (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
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 perseverance 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, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. &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 makes 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, notwithstanding 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.

Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so 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—Starting 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 lowness 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 purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands 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 such 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 about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co) but a renewal of 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 numerous circle 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, York town, 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 mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repletes 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.
