Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The house of representatives continued in un interrupted session on FRIDAY from ten o'clock A. M. to eight o'clock in the evening, and on SATURDAY, sat from ten A. M. to five P. M. when an adjournment took place till seven o'clock. Indisposition prevented us from attending the evening session of the last day; which likewise prevents our offering at present any more than a concise notice of the most important proceedings, reserving their detail for a future paper. — [Nat. Intel.]
Friday, February 27.
Mr. J. Randolph made an animated speech in order to shew that the 8th section of the act prohibiting the importation of slaves into the U. S. involved the exercise of a power not possessed by congress, which was subversive of the rights of property of the holders of slaves, and which might eventuate in their general emancipation; and concluded by asking leave to present a bill to explain and amend that act.
After some remarks from Messrs. Goldsborough, Quincy, Lyon, Fisk and Smilie, Mr. J. Randolph varied his motion so as to appoint a committee to bring in a bill; this motion was agreed to—ayes 61.
A short time after Mr. Randolph presented from the committee the following explanatory act.
"Whereas doubts have arisen, or may arise, touching the construction of the 8th section of the act, of which this act is explanatory, and whereas congress disclaim and disavow all constitutional right, title, or authority whatsoever, by any legislative act in any wise to abridge, modify, or affect the right of property of masters of slaves, not imported into the U. S. contrary to law, in and to such slaves; Therefore,
"Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the senate & house of representatives of the U. S. of America, in congress assembled, That nothing contained in the 8th or any other section of the aforesaid act, shall be construed to abridge, modify, or affect, in any manner whatever, the full, complete, and absolute right of property of the owner or master of any slave, such slave not being imported contrary to law, in and to such slave, and such owner, or master, as aforesaid, shall not be subjected to any disability, or liable to any fine, penalty, or forfeiture, although such master, or owner, or his or her agent may have transported any such slave, not being imported contrary to law, with intent to sell the same, from one port or place within the United States, to any other port or place in a vessel of less burthen than forty tons."
The act having been read twice, Mr. J. Randolph moved that it be engrossed for a third reading.
Mr. Quincy moved its reference to a committee of the whole.
Mr. J. Randolph warmly opposed this motion. He set forth the deep stake the southern states had in immediately arresting the invasion of their rights made by the 8th section, and the consequent necessity of passing the explanatory law this session, which would not be done, unless it passed the house without delay, as it was in the power of a single member of the senate to prevent the passage of a bill unless read on three several days. He added that he trusted, if this bill did not pass, that the Virginia delegation would wait on the president, to remonstrate against his giving his sanction to the act which had passed.
Messrs. Fisk, Quincy, Thomas & Rhea of Tenn. advocated the reference of the bill to a committee of the whole, and its being printed, previously to consideration. They expressed their willingness to agree to any proposition, that should not go to hazard the great objects of the bill passed by the two houses; but their indisposition to act precipitately on a subject of so much importance.
The question was taken on referring the bill to a committee of the whole; and carried—ayes fifty eight—nays forty.
Mr. J. Randolph moved that it be made the order for this day.
A motion was also made to make it the order for to-morrow.
On this last motion the yeas and nays were taken, and were yeas sixty, nays forty nine—when the bill was ordered to be printed.
The house agreed to consider the report of the committee of the whole on the appropriation bill.
Mr. Alston moved that the house should again resolve itself into a committee of the whole on this bill; and said, his purpose was, in case they should, to move a new section repealing the duty of 8 cents on salt from the 1st of July, and that of 12 cents from the 1st of Jan. and continuing the Mediterranean fund until the 1st of Jan. next.
After a few remarks from several gentlemen this motion was disagreed to, ayes 39, nays 53, principally on the ground of impropriety of introducing such provisions in the appropriation bill.
The report of the committee of the whole to the appropriation bill was then considered, and the bill ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
A message was received from the Senate stating that they had postponed until the next session the bill relative to the redemption of the public debt, providing for the reimbursement of the 3 per cents in case of the refusal of the holders to come to the new loan.
Mr. Alston moved for leave to bring in a bill for the repeal of the duties on salt, &c.
This motion was declared by the speaker, and the house to be out of order, the standing rules of the house requiring a day's notice of such motion.
Mr. Jackson then moved for the appointment of a committee to inquire into expediency of repealing the duties on salt, and continuing for a limited time the Mediterranean fund.
A division of the question was called for.
On agreeing to the first part of the motion, a long and interesting debate ensued. It was advocated by Messrs. Jackson, Alston, Smilie, Bidwell, Sloan, Varner, Fisk, Eppes, and Burwell, and opposed by Messrs. Quincy, J. Randolph, R. Nelson, Elmer, Ely, Lloyd and Lyon; when the question was taken by yeas and nays, and the FIRST member of the motion was carried, yeas 60, nays 40.
Mr. J. Randolph spoke against agreeing to the second member of the motion: which was carried;—Yeas 46—Nays 43.
When the whole motion was agreed to, yeas 44, nays 39.
In this debate all the speakers declared themselves in favor of repealing the duties on salt; the diversity of sentiment and vote arose from the mode in which it was attempted to effect this object. The opponents of the motion contended that it became the Senate and not the house to take the proposed step which they said was not likely to answer the end contemplated.
The friends of the motion, on the other hand, urged the policy of pursuing every mean in their power to effect so important an object; and declared their confidence, that on a proper understanding between the two houses it would be accomplished.
As soon as the last vote had been taken, a motion was made that the committee should consist of three members.
On putting this question it was found that there was not a quorum of members present.
A call of the house was then ordered for the purpose of noting the absentees.
The call having been made, and a quorum not appearing to be present, an adjournment took place about 8 o'clock.
On SATURDAY the house passed the general appropriation bill, & several other bills of minor consideration, and transacted a good deal of other business.
A committee was appointed on the motion of Mr. Jackson relative to a repeal of the duties on salt, &c from which committee Mr. Fisk presented a bill, corresponding in its objects with the intimation of Mr. Alston, on moving for a recommittal of the appropriation bill, which was referred to a committee of the whole house that day.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
LOWER ELBE, Dec. 9.
Till now the British property, declared under confiscation, has not been delivered up or seized; nor have any domiciliary visits been made. The senate has, it is said, obtained a further delay, till the return of their deputation. They reached Berlin on the 1st inst. but finding both Napoleon and Talleyrand gone to Posnania, they sent a courier to the latter to know whether audience will be granted to them. The members of the British factory established here, were to be sent off yesterday to Mentz, but, at their urgent request, their departure as prisoners of war for France will not take place till next Sunday the 14th inst. They consist of the following unfortunate gentlemen: William Alexander-Burrows, esq. treasurer; James Collman, esq. secretary; Mathew Boyn-ton, esq. James Stephen, esq. James Kenny, esq. John Cock, esq. John Thornton, esq. T. Lodge, esq. Thomas Blacker, esq. George Smith, esq. and George Whitaker, esq. Mr. James Sturtevant has fortunately escaped, for, being on a journey, and hearing that the French had taken possession of Lubeck, he immediately came to Hamburg, secured his effects and warehouse, and provided for his safety in Denmark. The police in Altona will not suffer any British fugitives to remain there any longer. This is said to be done at the request of the French. The unfortunate members of the British factory are to lose the whole of their property and effects, and only a change of linen and clothes will be allowed to go with them to France. Their families will become dependent on the generosity of their friends either in England or here. It is however to the credit and honor of Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Blacker, and some other ladies, that they are determined to follow their husbands. Till now other British subjects, still at Hamburg, have remained unmolested.
Important negotiations are said to be pending now between France and Denmark, which are, however, carried on with the utmost secrecy.
LONDON, Jan. 1—3.
All the accounts from Germany and France assert that the new levies in France are pressing with extraordinary activity; and that Bonaparte is drafting France and the states of the Rhenish confederacy, of men who are proceeding towards Poland and Istria and Dalmatia, with the double view of executing his intentions with respect to Poland, and of co-operating with the Turks against the Russians upon Turkey ground.
By letters from Malmoe, in Sweden, of the first inst. the king of Sweden has ordered his whole army, of between 20 and 90 000 men, exclusive of militia, to hold itself in readiness to march. In Finland great naval and military preparations were making. A division of the galley fleet is ordered to Stralsund.
The only affair between the French and Russians, mentioned in the journals, is in Davoust's letter to Dombrowski, in which it is stated that a detachment of French cavalry was attacked on the 22d ult. by 5 or 600 Cossacks at Lewiez. The combat lasted the whole of the day. "The French (says Davoust defended themselves bravely against the Cossacks, who suffered very considerable loss." It is evident, even from the vaunting Frenchman's own account, that the conflict was bloody, that the French were defeated, and that the Cossacks fought with their usual bravery.
Bonaparte was in Posen on the 3d inst. busily employed in parading the town, with a Polish guard of honor, &c. receiving deputations, and calling on the Poles in proclamations and speeches to arm in defence of their liberty. "If the blood (says Napoleon in one of these orations) of the brave Poles still flows in their veins, every one of them will arm: be it their aim to be free and to be a nation, or to die! Their fate is now in their hands; I expect they will convince me of their bravery and spirit. Let me see the fruits of their zeal; I want not words or assurances. Let me see the legions and cohorts of a respectable army, fighting by the side of my soldiers!" It is not a matter of doubt that the Poles are prodigal of their words and assurances, but as to any thing further we have yet to learn; nor is it a convincing proof of their enthusiasm to join the standards of their deliverer, that Dombrowski, in his proclamation is reduced to the necessity of ordering the police magistrates to seize on all deserters and vagabonds of all descriptions, to swell the noble Polish legions; so that if they cannot be drawn they must be goaded. The number of Poles that have ranged themselves on the side of the French are inconsiderable, not sufficient, it seems, in point of number, to enable Bonaparte to announce their independence; for the Paris article of the 2d inst. states, that when the deputation of the palatinate manifested a wish that he would proclaim their independence, Napoleon answered, that he would not issue the proclamation "until the Poles were determined to defend their rights, not only by arms, but also by means of every sacrifice, even that of their lives." The immense force which Russia has brought into the field, the prospect of a protracted war, and the spirit displayed by a handful of Cossacks, will induce the Poles, perhaps, to pause, before they stake their ALL on the result of the campaign.
We understand that government received advices of rather encouraging nature by the messenger who arrived on Saturday from Husum. Neither the surrender of Glogau and Grudentz, nor the occupation of Thorn, by the French, are credited. Exclusive of the extensive garrisons in Danzig, Graudentz, and other places in the line of the Vistula, his Prussian majesty was at the head of an army of upwards of 50,000 men, between Osterode & Konigsberg. The Russians actually arrived in Prussian Poland are computed at 150,000 men. It was supposed that this united army would advance as soon as the artillery belonging to the latter arrived, which thro' a strange arrangement, proposed by Prussia, who undertook to supply it, was left behind.
Several commercial houses in the city have, by the Husum mails, received large remittances from their correspondents in Hamburg.
The letters from Altona mention that an extensive and alarming dysentery, the consequence of forced marches, bad and scanty provisions, and constant exposure to almost continual rains, prevailed amongst the French troops in Poland. It is computed that a fifth, some accounts say one fourth of the army has been attacked in this way, and that the hospitals at Berlin, Custrin, Stettin, and other places, are scarcely sufficient to contain the vast number of sick. This of itself is sufficient excuse for the otherwise unaccountable inactivity of the enemy since they entered Poland.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
WEDNESDAY, March 4.
Report says the British minister has received a copy of the treaty lately concluded between our ministers and Great-Britain, and has shown it to the President who is much dissatisfied with its provisions, and the probability is it will not be ratified—one of the obnoxious provisions is said to be a stipulation for an alliance offensive and defensive, provided certain apprehensions shall be realised.
Both houses of Congress have passed the bill reducing the duty on salt from and after the first of June to 12 cents, and abolishing the whole after the 30th of December next, and continuing the Mediterranean fund till the 30th December, 1807.
PROCLAMATION.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and the seal of the Corporation, this 5th of March, 1807.
(Seal.) JONAH THOMPSON, Mayor of Alexandria.
Arrived, brig John, captain Martin, 21 days from Jamaica—Ballast—James Paton.
By this arrival we have received a file of Jamaica papers to the 7th of February, from which the following extracts are made;
KINGSTON, Feb. 6. Intelligence having been received at Barbados, that an expedition is fitting out at Guadaloupe to be sent against Dominica, an embargo was immediately laid on all vessels there; and admiral Cochrane, in the Northumberland, with 8 other men of war, having on board part of the 15th regiment, sailed from Carlisle Bay on the 22d ult. for the purpose of blockading Guadaloupe. The embargo was taken off at Barbados the day the packet arrived at that island.
FEB. 7. We learn that a reinforcement of 300 men, consisting of seamen and marines will proceed immediately from this to Curacoa, and that captain Brisbane, of the Arethusa, goes there as governor.
We understand that a French private schooner called the Victoria, carrying 18 pounder a midships, and some other guns, has been lately captured by one of the vessels of war cruising off the west end of the island, and sent into Savannah-la-mar.
The Globe of Nov. 13 says, that the suspension of the duke of Sussex's appoint-

ment to the government of Jamaica, and of Lord Caledon's departure for the Cape of Good Hope, occasioned various speculations in the political world.
His majesty's ship Circe, of 32 guns, captain H. Pigott, from Tortola, arrived at Barbadoes on the 22d December, having previously captured and sent to the first named island, a very valuable ship of 700 tons, from Cadiz bound to Vera Cruz with quicksilver, and supposed to be worth from 60 to 70 000l. sterling.
A neutral vessel from Martinique, arrived at Barbadoes on the 27th December, bringing information that the Themis French frigate sailed from that island on the 16th, and on the 19th, in company with a brig of war, captured and carried in there his majesty's brig Netly, lieutenant Carr, who having perceived the enemy off Guadalupe, and imagining the brig to be a privateer, and the other her prize, stood for her in the hope of first securing her, and then recapturing the prize, but it turned out on nearer approach, to be the enemy's frigate and corvette, which immediately closed on the Netly, and got her so completely under their guns, that lieutenant Carr, unwilling by any useless resistance to sacrifice the lives of his men, surrendered to them without an opportunity of evincing that courage which he is confessedly known to possess. Soon after her capture the Netly was fitted for sea, and sailed on the 24th Dec. to cruise to windward of Barbadoes.
An other of his majesty's small vessels, was likewise reported to be taken and carried into Point-a-Pitre, said to be the Grouper schr. lieut. Dwyer.
On the 18th ultimo, his majesty's ship Venus, captain Matson, arrived at Barbadoes with the French privateer brig Determine, of 16 guns and 108 men, commanded by M. Lamasque, which the Venus fell in with on the 17th, at 10 A. M. and after a chase of fifteen hours giving large, captured her. She had been one of the most successful privateers out of Guadalupe, but had not taken any thing this cruise, although 19 days at sea.
Lieutenant Carr, late commander of his majesty's brig Netly, was tried on the 20th ult. on board the Canada, of 74 guns, captain Harvy lying in Carlisle bay, Barbadoes, for the loss of the said vessel, captured by a French frigate and corvette on the 19th December; when after a full investigation, himself, officers and crew were unanimously acquitted, and he had his sword returned in a very handsome manner by captain Harvy, who sat as president of the court. It is a strong testimony to lieut. Carr's good conduct and merit that immediately upon his acquittal sir Alexander Cochrane appointed him to the recent captured privateer brig Determine, now commissioned and called the Netly, in the room of the one taken by the enemy.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman.
Cadiz. Dec. 23 1806. "Our political relations with this country, still continue on the most unfriendly footing, and our vessels are daily carried into Algesiras and condemned on the most frivolous pretext. We wait with anxiety to hear of the meeting of congress to know whether any thing will be done by our government, for things cannot be worse than they are. We are insulted daily, and there is no possibility of obtaining redress; our charge d'affairs in Madrid, Mr. Irving can do nothing—hardly indeed receives an answer to the letters he addresses to the government here."

JERSEY BEEF & PORK.
Mammoth Ox.—We mentioned some weeks since a pair of large Oxen fattened by Mr. James Hunt of Hopewell in this county. One of the Oxen has since been killed; its weight was as follows:
  Weight alive 2120 lbs.   of the beef 1280   of the tallow rough 214   of the hide 121 
COMMUNICATION.
The industrious farmer rewarded. Raised and butchered within the vicinity of New Egypt, by Mr. Francis Shinn, farmer, and bought by Mr. Barzillai Hopkins, merchant of said place, thirty six hogs, weighing in the whole twelve thousand six hundred and seven pounds—The largest hog weighed 474 pounds, and the smallest two hundred and ninety seven pounds, they averaged more than 360 3-4 lbs. The oldest hog did not exceed 18 months, and the youngest 10 months. The
amount of this crop of pork, according to our market, amounts to 1136 dollars 43 cents—a handsome compensation to industry.
New Egypt, Feb. 2.
A letter received at the coffee house in this city, from a correspondent in Bordeaux, dated the 8th of January, 1807, says, "There are reports of a great battle having taken place between the French and Russians, in which the latter have experienced a signal defeat."

The city of Venice has been bombarded by a British squadron, and the gun-boats fitted out there are destroyed. The British have also landed in Pola, and destroyed all the Istrain batteries and redoubts. At Macarsa, in Dalmatia, six Russian frigates have landed troops, who stop the communication with Ragusa.
The causes of treasons and conspiracies, briefly and correctly ascertained.
To whom are the treasons and conspiracies, that now agitate the minds of our citizens, endanger the safety of our country, and, in their consequences, establish military despotism, most justly imputable?
We do not hesitate to answer, that they are most justly imputable to that man, who, invested with the high character of CHIEF MAGISTRATE, and CONSERVATOR of the peace and dignity of the United States, could so far forget what he owed to himself, to his country, and to her tranquility, as to countenance and reward rebellion against the laws, by calling to the most important office in his nomination an INSURGENT, who had devoted to vengeance any citizen that should dare to execute a law of the United States, and who had excited a commotion that cost the nation one million two hundred thousand dollars. And yet to such a man, and such a magistrate, addresses are daily offered to solicit his consent to continue in office!
[Phil. Reg.]
The proceedings at Orleans.—"It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of twelve of his neighbors and equals." This observation once so consolatory to every American bosom, excites in our hearts at this moment the most painful sensations. The present scene is replete with wonders. In Europe there prevails a desolating activity, in this country we behold at one time a fatal imbecility at another an injudicious precipitation. In the territories of a federal republic, though untrammelled by the calamities of war; the inhabitants are deprived of their rights and privileges by a military commander, whom every man, with a clear head and honest heart hath scorned, since first he gave up the lance for the pomp and splendor, of his military career. Perhaps we may have reason on some future day to mitigate the censure which we are now inclined to throw on General Wilkinson. At any rate he deserves our reprehension, for his fulsome adulation and base persecution. This signior Pomposo we have never known to act with the gallantry of a soldier, or to step with the dignity of an upright citizen. Indeed, we are so well acquainted with the littleness of his soul, that we are induced to believe, some of his measures are sanctioned and approved of by our executive.
This observation will excite no surprize in those who have studied the character, and heard of the achievements of Mr. Jefferson. As to ourselves we have long since set him down in our book of classification as a non-descript. He is a creature, sometimes so fantastical and theoretical, sometimes so humble and so skulking, that we cannot view him but with pity and contempt. From the chief Magistrate of our country we expect dignity of sentiment. If his operations are decisive and his feelings honorable many will be found to pardon the blunders of his head, and attribute to him some honesty of heart. But this President of ours, this choice disciple of Sir Thomas Moore, has been whining and economising, and shivering, since first he read his gracious inauguration speech to a deluded collection of new imported, especially illuminated democrats. No dangers have inspired into him a noble emotion. He seems to have even no latent energies. Devoid of the genius, and unfriendly to the energetic policy of Burke, he spurns the doctrine "that sometimes adventurous boldness is solid wisdom." The subject on which we now write, has interested the best feelings of many of our fellow-citizens. It was warmly and ably discussed during the last week in the House of Representatives. During the discussion Mr. Randolph shone with superior lustre. With his usual pungency he commented on the conduct of Wilkinson and with the dauntless intrepidity of a patriot he averred that even Jefferson should be punished when he deserved it. It is with regret we state that notwithstanding this gentleman told the disciples of
our President many salutary truths, notwithstanding he commented on their niggard policy with an almost unparalleled acumen Mr. Broom's motion "for an enquiry, as to the writ of habeas corpus" was negatived.

INFORMATION WANTED.
ANTONIO MARLOWICH, a Ragusan, lately arrived in this country, and now resident in Boston, wishes to learn the residence of Mr. Bosare Yaspritzer, of Ragusa. The editors of papers throughout the United States, are requested to insert this notice, and any letters on the subject may be addressed to the Chronicle Office, Boston.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BALTIMORE, March 3.
The mail which arrived last evening did not bring the New York papers which were due by it. The occasion of the failure was the non-arrival of the New York mail at Philadelphia previous to the departure of the mail from the latter place for Baltimore. We learn however from private information, that the British packet for January had arrived at New York; letters by which were received in this city last night, bearing the London post mark of a date as late as the ninth of January. These letters were sent on by express by the post master at Philadelphia, after the Baltimore mail had been dispatched in consequence of their being among them dispatches for the government of the United States which the post master at Philadelphia concluded contained the treaty lately signed at London between America and Great Britain. These dispatches were received here last night with other letters, and will doubtless be forwarded with all possible expedition to Washington city, in order to afford the president an opportunity of laying it before the senate; if that indeed be possible, as the session of congress closes to night at 12 o'clock.
LATE FROM PARIS.
By the arrival of the William Penn from Bordeaux, Paris papers have been received to the date of January 3d inclusive. A gentleman of this city has politely favored us with the loan of a file of the Paris Argus from December 4th to the above date. This file does not contain the announcement of any important event; but there are several articles which we are sure will be interesting to our readers. These we shall lay before them with all possible speed.
Reports prevailed at Paris on the 3d of Jan. that a rupture between the U. S. and Great Britain was certain.
The Poles are organizing themselves into military squadrons under the orders of gen. Dombrowski.
The presence of the French at Warsaw has given that place an air of great vivacity. They have Italian, French and Polish theatres open there.
The negotiations between the Porte and the Servian insurgents have been broken off; and Czerai Georges has recommenced his operations. A slight skirmish between them and the Turks took place in the beginning of Nov. near Belgrade.
French troops are at Anclam, waiting the determination of the king of Sweden on a proposition relative to the neutrality of Swedish Pomerania.
A few days anterior to the 17th of December, 70 000 men passed thro' Berlin on their way to Poland.
A national gendarmerie is organizing throughout the conquered Prussian states, to protect the high roads, insure the arrival of subsistence, and cause persons and property to be respected.
The annual fair at Leipsick was to be held as usual.
It is announced that the French have commenced the bombardment of Dantzick. This town is one of the richest and most considerable of the north of Europe.
Burr's project (extracted from an American paper) is mentioned in the Paris papers.
Several ships of the line are going to be fitted out in the greatest haste at Copenhagen. The ramparts of the citadel have had cannon planted on them lately, and the guards are doubled, as are those in the harbor.
The following article evinces that the imperial decree is not intended to include private property:
"General Clarke, governor-general of the Prussian conquered provinces, has, in concert with the intendant-general of finances, given orders to the particular commandants and intendents to take off the seals which had been laid provisionally on the sequestered merchandise at Magde-
burg, Stettin, Custrin, and Frankfort, on the Oder, which merchandise being private property, is not comprehended in the decree of the 21st of Nov."

Richard Lee & Son, SENSIBLE of the many favors conferred on them by an enlightened community beg permission to return them their sincere acknowledgments, and solicit them for a continuance of the same. As all the efforts of Hannah Lee and her colleagues to ruin our characters and injure the reputation of our medicines, have proved abortive, we should think it degrading to ourselves and insulting to the public to pursue the contest into which we have been reluctantly dragged. Here we will drop the subject, leave her to enjoy the consolation her vapid Billingsgate language in her last advertisement is capable of affording, and simply ask those who may have occasion to purchase medicines of the following description, to give ours a trial, under a full confidence that every new trial will corroborate the long established public opinion of their being genuine. THE FOLLOWING MEDICINES SOLD BY NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his China, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Messrs. Rickett's and Newton's. Each article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of Richard Lee and Son, Without which none are genuine.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges. This medicine, which is as innocent as mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following: Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days. JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son , Baltimore. The operation of these Pills, is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. Messrs. Richard Lee & Son, The high opinion I have of your Bilious Pills, and a desire to make known their utility for the benefit of mankind, I wish you to publish the following: For two months past, I have been afflicted with a violent sickness at the stomach, an inclination to vomit, and loss of appetite—by taking two doses of your pills, I am restored to a perfect state of health—which induced my wife to try them also, which was attended with the same good effects, being now able to attend to her domestic concerns: in my opinion, this medicine is unequalled in stomach and bowel complaints, not being attended with that griping pain, common to other remedies. JOHN SCOTT, Delaney-street, near Columbia Garden.
Lee's ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrh's asthma, sore throat, and approaching consumptions. Lee's Grand Restorative, Proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions, lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of blood, hysterical affections, inward weaknesses, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, obstinate gleets, flour albus (or whites) impotency, barrenness, &c. Infallible Ague and Fever Drops, For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermitent Fevers. Lee's genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, paley, lumbago,
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever. Lee's Genuine Eye-Water, A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or accident. Lee's Genuine Persian Lotion. LEE'S DAMASK LIP SALVE. TOOTH ACHE DROPS, The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. THE ANODYNE ELIXIR, For the cure of all kinds of head-ache.
Restorative Powder for the Teeth & Gums The Indian Vegetable Specific, For the cure of Venereal complaints. January 21 Notice is hereby given, THAT all persons who may be found trespassing on the land belonging to C. W. Valengen , situated on the Potomac River, near Alexandria, below the mouth of Mol Frost's Run, and extending to a line belonging to Mr. Peter Sheroh's, nearly at the lower extremity of the Pocosen: and from thence back from the river to the north branch of Little Hunting-Creek, will be prosecuted to the extent of the law in such cases provided.
