PUBLIC AUCTION.
To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the court-house. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable.
The premises will be shown to persons inclining to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

BY THE LAST MAIL.
NEW-YORK, June 9.
Very Late and Important Foreign News.
The fine fast sailing ship Pacific, captain Stanton, arrived at this port yesterday in 31 days from Falmouth, with dispatches for government, of which Lt. Reed, of the U. S. navy, is the bearer, who proceeded immediately for the city of Washington. During the 26 days the Pacific remained in England, no intelligence had been received from France of the arrival of the Mentor.
Capt. S. has favoured the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a regular file of London papers and Lloyds Lists to the 5th of May, twenty days later than any advices previously received from England. From these papers the following articles, some of them of a very interesting nature, are copied:—
LONDON, April 24.
The Dutch papers contain an account of the treaty of peace between this country and Turkey. It is said to consist of twelve articles, of which the following is the substance:
"The property which either may have in its possession belonging to the other, and all ships of private individuals under embargo, shall be immediately restored."
"From the moment of signing this treaty, all hostilities shall cease, and the prisoners of war on both sides shall be restored within 31 days succeeding, without any ransom."
"Mutual accommodations, in regard to commerce, to be afforded in its fullest extent—the tariff at Constantinople to remain as it is."
The 11th article says that "as it has been at all times forbidden to ships of war to enter the canal of Constantinople, viz. the strait of the Dardanelles, or that of the Black Sea and as that ancient rule of the Ottoman Empire must be henceforward observed in time of peace by all powers whatsoever, the British Court promise to conform to this principle."
April 25.
It was yesterday reported that the Danish government had consented to open the port of Toningen but we believe that it has merely granted permission to the neutral vessels in the port to sail in ballast.
The accounts which we have received from Portugal are rather of a contradictory nature, but still we are convinced that the intelligence brought by the Loire respecting the distressed situation of Soult's army is well founded, and that unless he receives very powerful assistance from the south, he will be under the necessity of surrendering. The accounts from Galicia fully confirm those which we some days ago laid before our readers. The French are entirely confined to the fortresses of Ferrol, Corunna and St. Jago, and it is said, but we do not vouch for the fact, that letters from the French general Ney to Joseph Bonaparte have been intercepted in which he represents his situation as extremely desperate, and earnestly presses for reinforcements.
It was reported yesterday afternoon that government had received an account from Heligoland, of an action having taken place in Bavaria, between the Austrians and French, in which the former were successful. It is more than probable that some skirmishes have taken place in Bavaria, but no intelligence of that kind has yet reached government.
The only important fact in the accounts yesterday received from Heligoland is that a very considerable Austrian force had entered Saxony.
May 1.
The intelligence from the north of Spain continues to be of a very favorable nature. The marquis de Romana, with the regular troops under his command, and a large body of armed peasants, has completely cut off all communication between general Ney at Corunna, and Soult who still remains at Oporto, although reports have been circulated of his having advanced towards Coimbra.
We entertain strong hopes that the marquis de Romana will soon be strong enough to attack Ferrol and Corunna.
Marquis Wellesley is appointed ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Spain.
It appears by the last monthly return, that the number of vessels now in commission is—of the line, 160; fifty's, 25; frigates 175; sloops, &c. 166; bombs and fire ships, 19; brigs, 171; cutters, 37; schooners, luggers &c. 91—Total, 844.
The Paris papers recently received contain a pretended letter from the editor of the Vienna Gazette to the editor of the Ulm Gazette, but which was not inserted by the latter, containing a variety of state-
ments with respect to the preparations of Austria, which are treated with an air of ridicule in the comments made upon the letter in the minor Paris papers and copied into the Moniteur, in which the Austrians are told, that if they are mad enough to commence hostilities, such hostilities will be the last they will provoke.
Bonaparte, before he set off to join the army, issued a decree, containing the three following provisions:—1. All Frenchmen, who have carried arms against France since Sept. 1, 1804, are declared to have incurred the punishment of death; 2. Frenchmen, in the service of any foreign power, are to quit such service the instant hostilities arise between that power and France; 3. All Frenchmen recalled by this or former decrees, and continuing refractory and disobedient, are declared to have suffered civil death, and their estates and effects are to be confiscated.
Great preparations are making at Flushing for the reception of the king of Holland, where he was expected to arrive on Saturday. A general illumination was ordered. The object of his journey was to visit the fleet, which is considerable, and completely prepared for sea. It is the opinion of competent persons, that this squadron might be easily destroyed by an expedition of 5000 men and a few ships of war. Flushing was one of the ports included in the embargo.
Bonaparte, before he set out for Strassburgh, summoned the Senate to hold an extraordinary sitting on the 17th inst. This was supposed to be for the purpose of laying before them the whole of the late correspondence between him and the emperor of Austria. These important documents were expected to appear in the Moniteur of the 19th.
Sun Office, half past 2 o'clock, P. M.
We stop the press to state, that we have just received an account from Dover, which states, that there was a heavy firing on the French coast on Friday night and Saturday morning. Some of our cruisers who were on the opposite coast observed a general illumination, and some neutral vessels that have arrived report that the firing and illumination were in consequence of a victory obtained by the French over the Austrians.
The governor of Calais would not suffer the flag of truce that sailed from Dover last week to enter that port, nor would he permit the dispatches to be landed.
The departure of a messenger from Dover to Calais on Friday morning in a flag of truce has given rise to a variety of speculations. He was certainly charged with the new order in council, and dispatches from Mr. Pinckney to gen. Armstrong, the American minister at Paris.
May 2.
Two vessels arrived at Yarmouth yesterday morning from Holland, the captains of which state, that Bonaparte was endeavoring to enforce the conscription in Holland, and in that in many places the people had manifested a disposition to resist it by force.
We last night received Dutch and Hamburg papers, the former to the 26th and the latter to the 23d ult. They do not contain any account of a battle.
We feel great pleasure in stating every fresh account from the north of Spain confirms the hopes we entertain respecting the ultimate success of the Spaniards. The Fisguard, which is just arrived from the north of Spain, brings intelligence of the complete failure of an attempt made by the French for the recovery of Vigo. They had collected a force of about 4000 men, with the intention of attacking that important place, but they were repulsed with very considerable loss.
May 3.
Dutch papers to the 27th ult. were received yesterday, which, however, contain only movements of the French and Austrian troops. The former appear to be falling back, but whether in consequence of finding the Austrian force superior, or in the hope of drawing the Archduke into a disadvantageous position, cannot be determined from the scanty information which these papers afford. Davoust has addressed a proclamation to his troops, in which he holds out the expectation of their being supported by a Russian force. We are sorry to observe this corroboration of the declaration said to have been made by the Russian minister at Vienna. The letters from Holland state, that great discontent prevails in every part of that country, in consequence of the government having resolved to enforce a conscription on the French model with the greatest severity.
It is rumored in private letters that it was apprehended at Gottenburg that sir Samuel Hood intended to send back the convoy which lately arrived off the coast of Sweden from this country. Since the revolution the war taxes which the king had imposed by his own authority, have been abolished,
and this and other measures of a similar description have rendered the new government very popular.
A letter has been received from Charente giving a dreadful description of the battle in Basque Roads. The mouth of the river Charente is entirely choked with wrecks of the French ships. The enemy have lost about 8,000 killed, besides a great many wounded.
Bonaparte has left Strasburg; he passed through Durlach on the 15th, and was expected at Stutgard the same night; from whence he was expected to proceed to Munich.
May 4.
By a signal arrived from the Dutch coast yesterday, letters of last Wednesday's date have been received. They state, that hostilities had actually commenced between Austria and France, and that a battle had been fought near Munich, in which the French were defeated. We have no authority for the statement but the letters in question. The impression in the city was, however, so great, that wagers to a considerable amount were made on Change that the accounts were correct.
It is ascertained that the most scrupulous vigilance is exercised by the officers on the Dutch coast, to prevent the captains of vessels from taking on board either letters or newspapers, unless first inspected by them.
The private letters by the Gottenburgh mail of yesterday furnish some particulars not altogether destitute of interest. Licences continue to be granted at Stockholm to British, as well as other vessels, which are to last till the 30th of Sept. Sir Samuel Hood persists in not suffering an armed vessel to enter the ports of Sweden. On the 19th ult. a fleet under convoy sailed from Scarlscona. Mr. Merry had given notice to Mr. Smith, the consul, that in the event of a war between Great Britain and Sweden, the property of the merchants would be reciprocally respected by the two governments.

Price of Stocks—Consols 87 1-2.
We are unable to lay before our readers any authentic information respecting the reported battle between the Austrians and French in Bavaria. The captain of a French privateer recently taken and brought into port states that a desperate battle has taken place, in which, after three days hard fighting, the Austrians were defeated with the loss of 30,000 men.
From the London Gazette, April 29.
At the Court at the Queen's Palace, the 26th of April, 1809. Present,
The king's most excellent majesty in council.
Whereas his majesty, by his order in council of the 11th November, 1807, was pleased for the reasons assigned therein, to order, that "all the ports and places of France and her allies, or of any other country at war with his majesty, and all other ports or places in Europe from which, although not at war with his majesty, the British flag is excluded, and all ports or places in the colonies belonging to his majesty's enemies should from henceforth be subject to the same restrictions in point of trade and navigation, if the same were actually blockaded in the most strict and rigorous manner;" and also to prohibit "all trade in articles which are to produce or manufacture of the said country or colonies."
And whereas his majesty having been nevertheless desirous not to subject those countries which were in alliance or in amity with his majesty, to any greater inconvenience than was absolutely inseparable for carrying into effect his majesty's just determination to counteract the designs of his enemies to make certain exceptions and modifications expressed in the said order of the 11th of November, and in certain subsequent orders the 25th of November, and of the 18th December, 1807, and of the 30th of March 1808, declaratory of the aforesaid order of the 11th of November.
And whereas, in consequence of divers events which have taken place since the date of the first mentioned order, affecting the relation between Great Britain and the territories of other powers, it is expedient that certain parts and provisions of the said order shall be altered or revoked.
His majesty is therefore pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council, to revoke and annul the said several orders, except as hereinafter expressed, and so much of the said several orders, except as aforesaid, is hereby revoked accordingly.
And his majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council, to order and it is hereby ordered, that all the ports and places as far north as the river Ems, exclusively, under the government styling itself the kingdom of Holland, and all ports and places under the government of France together with the colonies, plantations,

lements in the possession of those go- vernments respectively, and all ports and seas in the northern parts of Italy, to be closed from the ports of Orbitello and Elba, inclusively, shall continue and be subject to the same restrictions in point of trade and navigation without any exceptions, if the same were actually blockaded by his majesty's naval forces in the most strict and rigorous manner; and that every vessel coming from and to the said countries or co- lonies, plantations and settlements, together with all goods and merchandise on board shall be condemned as a prize to the cap- tors.
And his majesty is further pleased to or- der, and it is hereby ordered, that this Order shall have effect from the day of the date hereof, with respect to any ship together with its cargo, which may be captured sub- sequent to such day, on any voyage which is and shall be rendered legal by this Order, al- though such voyage at the time of the commence- ment of the same was unlawful and prohibi- ted under the same former order, and such ships upon being brought in shall be released accordingly; and with respect to all ships, together with their cargoes, which may be captured in any voyage which was permitted under the exceptions of the Orders aforemen- tioned, but which is not permitted according to the provisions of this order; his Majesty is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that such ships and their cargoes shall not be lia- ble to condemnation, unless they shall have received actual notice of the present Order before such capture, or in default of such notice, until after the expiration of the like intervals from the date of this order, as were allowed for constructive notice in the orders of the 25th of November 1807, and the 18th of May 1808, at the several places and latitudes therein specified.
And the right honorable the lords commis- sioners of his majesty's treasury, his majes- ty's principal secretaries of state, the lords commissioners of the admiralty, & the judge of the high court of admiralty, and judges of the courts of vice admiralty, are to give the necessary directions herein, as to them, re- spectively may appertain.

SEVILLE, April 15.
From the Lisbon Gazette of April 4. Letter of the brigadier Francisco de Silvey- ra, to his excellency Don Miguel Pereyra- Forjaz.
"It is not yet in my power to transmit to your excellency all the particulars of what we found in the fort of St. Francisco de Chaves, which surrendered yesterday as I informed your excellency in my letter of that date, the town having been taken by an assault on the 20th of this month—I can on- ly assure your excellency, that the maga- zines of the town are better filled than they were when we lost it; and that in the first assault we took upwards of 200 prisoners and killed more than 300; that during the siege of the fort, we killed more than 100; that we have taken prisoners the command- ant, 1 lieut. col. of engineers, six captains, 5 lieutenants, 1 ensign, 10 surgeons, 4 ap- othecaries, 3 civil officers, and 749 sol- diers; we have also taken 12 cannon, an im- mensity of arms, and 114 Spanish prisoners —With the exception of the sick, who are still in the hospital of this place, I have marched them all to Ville Real, and set at liberty the Spanish prisoners, excepting those whose wounds oblige them to remain here.
I transmit to your excellency the articles which I granted, which I was of opinion I ought to do, for if the fort had been taken by assault all the arms and ammunition, of which we have so much need, would have been plundered and put out of the way— We also found 80 horses with which I intend to mount as many soldiers.
My plan is to harass the rear.
GRENADA, April 2.
His excellency Don Francisco Palafox y Melci, general representative of the su- preme central junta, in the kingdom of Ar- ragon, and his excellency the marquis de Lazan, captain general pro tempore of the same, desirous to manifest to the public the infamous artifices resorted to by the French generals in order to conquer the kingdom, have directed to be printed the order for the delivery of the town of Mequinenza, which their brother, the captain general of Aragon, was compelled by violence to sign, and the noble reply of the governor, who is resolved to defend that place to the last, agreeably to the orders which he has received.
A Copy.—"The city has surrendered.— Spain is in possession of the French troops. There is now no hope of succour, for which reason you are to surrender im- mediately the place which you command to marshal Lannes, Duke of Montebello, and to send instantly an officer to him at this ci- ty.
Head quarters at Saragossa, March 4, 1809. To the Governor of Mequinenza.
PALAFOX.
A true copy,
LUIS DE VEYAN.
Reply directed to the Marshal.
Your excellency's flag of truce delivered to me the order of his excellency Don Josef Palafox, by which he directs me to deliver immediately this place to the French troops. Your excellency is not ignorant that every commander of a fortified place takes a se- parate oath to defend it; that as soon as a general becomes a prisoner, all his authori- ty ceases, and that consequently it is not possible for me to obey the said order.
LUIS DE VEYAN.

TORTOSA, April 1.
The French, according to appearances, intend to quit Barcelona, and their van is marching towards Moncado, on the road to Gerona and Vich; according to the ac- counts of several persons from Barcelona they are taking away the cannon from Mon- juich, and are destroying every thing that they can in order to escape. Our troops have left Tarragona in order to occupy Vil- a Franca.
In this place is the division of the mar- quis de Lazan, commanded by gen. Blake; through this part of Arragon, the French are marching towards Saragossa—God grant that it may be never to return.

MR. SNOWDEN,
PERCEIVING that you frequently de- vote a portion of your useful paper to the important concerns of Agriculture and Do- mestic Economy, I have taken the liberty to enclose you an account of the Sheep ex- hibited by Richard Kidder Meade, Esq. of Frederick county, at the late Winchester Sheep Shearing.
Mr. Meade has obtained three premiums. For the best Lamb—the greatest average fleeces of a flock above 50, and the greatest average of a flock above 20.
The following is a detail of the 20 Bake- well Lambs bred from a descendant of the celebrated Bakewell, of Arlington, the first premium Sheep in 1805.
16 averaged 6 lbs. 4 oz. unwashed. Tup called Frederic Bakewell, nine pounds six ounces, well washed. Weight of carcase 159 lbs. Wether called Muff 6 lbs. 13 oz. well wash- ed.
Weight of carcase 110 lbs. Tup at Mr. Burwell's 8 lbs. 8 oz. unwash- ed. Tup at Mr. Davis's 8 lbs. unwashed. The son of old Bakewell, of Arlington, sire of the above, and 3 years of age, gave 9 pounds 8 oz. unwashed. Several young Ewes of his get gave upwards of 7 lbs. Your obed't servant, A SUBSCRIBER.

BOSTON, June 5.
Latest from Lisbon.
Yesterday arrived the brig Julian, Capt. Williams, 40 days from Lisbon. The French had not made any movements to- wards Lisbon. Sir David Baird just arrived with 7000 troops from England, which en- creased the British forces in that station to 25,000—the Portuguese army was 30,000 strong, well equipped & in high spirits. The combined armies had got possession of all the heights and passes for 25 miles round, completely fortified, and were determined to make a stand against the French, if they approached.
Captain W. confirms the report of the capture of Vigo by the English. Also, the capture of Oporto by the French. After the surrender of Oporto it was given up to the troops for plunder during three days— wherein the most horrid excesses were com- mitted.
The accounts from Spain were contradic- tory; and but little reliance placed upon them.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated April 20, 1809.
"Our political situation seems to be strengthening daily, as reinforcements are arriving daily, and no means spared to de- fend the place; the enemy seems shy of making advances, which is descriptive of weakness in numbers on his part. The rise or fall in value of produce from your country materially depends upon the turn of army affairs."
Another extract of the same date.
"Trade promises assuming a great de- gree of activity in this port if the French are kept out of this country, which we have now great hopes of, as we have had im- portant reinforcements from England."

PHILADELPHIA, June 8.
Extract of a letter from Messrs. Hughes and Duncan, dated Liverpool April 15.
"Expresses have this day reached here with accounts of the arrival of the ship Pa- cific, with dispatches, &c. At present it is impossible to make sales; and prices are wholly nominal."
Another letter—same date.
"We have now to advise you that ex- presses have this day been received here, with accounts of the arrival of the Pacific, from New York, with dispatches at Fal- mouth, and of the Sally, off Dartmouth from Charleston, which she left on the 19th ult. The intelligence brought by them of the partial repeal of the embargo, and of the passing of the non-intercourse against G. Britain and France, has put an end to the uncertainty which had for some days pre- vailed here on these points. The holders of American produce had begun to draw conclusions favorable to their interests from the circumstance that no vessels had arrived in this country from the U. States in so long a period after the termination of con- gress; and prices have of late been gradual- ly advancing. The effects on our market produced by this information, shall be com- municated from time to time."

It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres, lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William. The quality of this land is excel- lent, and to a grazier especially, would be a source of great emolument, from the quantity of low grounds: of which there is not less than Five hundred acres, ready, from the strength of the soil, to be sowed in Timothy.

There are about 500 a- cres in wood, heavily timbered. The improve- ments are, a dwelling house newly fitted up, consisting of two rooms below stairs, with a store room and two convenient closets. Three lodging rooms above stairs, an excellent cel- lar, kitchen, corn house, meat house and sta- bles. Likewise the overseer's house, one in each county, with other necessary houses for negroes, &c.
Between 2 and 300 acres in addition, for sale, in Prince William county, on Bull Run, near its conflux with Occoquan. This land lies about 10 or 11 miles from the Occoquan mills, and has nearly one third in woods—its quality is equal to any in its immediate neigh- borhood.

Doctor I. J. Cemyn, A professional DENTIST—of Baltimore, RESPECTFULLY acquaints the LADIES and GENTLEMEN of Alexandria, that he intends to practice in this place for a few days, in all the various branches of his pro- fession. No genteel person of either sex, can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or foetid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and else- where. Without giving pain, or hurting the enamel, he removes the tartar, &c. when the teeth will assume a beautiful appearance the gums adhering to the teeth; but if the state of the gums require it, doctor C. will give to the person an antiscorbutic lotion of che- mical preparation, which gained the applause of hundreds both in Europe and America.— It is pleasant, innocent, and effectual, in smoothing and whitening the teeth and cur- ing the gums; rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweet- ening the breath. Doct. C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impos- sible to distinguish them from real ones. Dr. C. flatters himself from his being regularly bred to the practice of physick, as well as to the Dentist Business, and his long experience on the continent of Europe (France and Spain) to give to all those who favour him with their commands, every possible satisfaction.
May 13. d. N. B. Doctor C. will wait on any lady or gentleman at their respective houses, or may be consulted at the City Tavern.
USEFUL PROPERTIES OF YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
THIS highly useful Machine is found by experience to excel any hitherto in use. It will wash as many cloaths (by the assistance of one person) in an hour as can be washed in a whole day, without the pos- sibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the most delicate article, and with less than half the quantity of soap. It occupies very little more space than the common wash-tub, and with the least care will not create any slop or wet—the construction is very simple and at- tended with little expence. A further de- scription of its qualities is now deemed un- necessary, as it is presumed none will pur- chase without examining it.
We the subscribers do hereby certify that we have found, on trial, the above named Machine to answer fully the above descrip- tion. Given under our hands this 5th day of May, A. D. 1809.

One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, from the subscribers, two Slaves, named BILLY and NELLY.— Billy is a mulatto man, and sometimes calls himself WILLIAM JORDAN AUGUSTUS—his color nearly as light and approaches that of a white man, his hair is straight and he gene- rally wears it plated and turned up behind with a comb—his visage is remarkably thin and his cheek bones high—he has been bro't up in the house and is a very good dining, room servant, is about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight built, his constitution is not very strong and he is subject to indispo- sition—he is about 30 years of age.
NELLY is tall and rather inclined towards corpulency, a tawney color and about forty- five years of age.
They went off together as man and wife, but it is very probable Billy will attempt to pass as a white man, and will endeavor to sell Nelly as his slave.
The above reward will be paid for the ap- prehension and securing of the said Slaves, if taken up on the north side of the river Pot- omac, and information given thereof to their respective proprietors. A reasonable reward will be given if taken within the state of Vir- ginia, and reasonable charges will be paid if brought home.

The following highly valuable MEDICAL Price 3 Dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S
NATURE'S RESTORATIVE, A BALSAMIC CORDIAL.
THIS cordial, so justly celebrated through- out Great Britain and the continent of Eu- rope, for its superior efficacy in the cure all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of liv- long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasure, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate ven- which brings on so prematurely the infir- ties of old age.
In removing pulmonary affections, asthma and all disorders of the lungs, it is the most powerful remedy ever yet found, and the re- it has afforded even in the last stage of con- sumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunate- ly the prevailing disorder in this country (con- sumption) its superiority is such as to have copulated every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the conse- quences of youthful excess, will find them- selves restored to health and strength, and all those melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
In short, animated by the uniform success this invaluable cordial has experienced in Eu- rope, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, con- sumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently dis- tinguished persons in this quarter of the globe, are now in the possession of the proprietor here, some few of which are herein published have determined the introduction of it into this continent, where its efficacy must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficent remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or ac- quire their health.
The chief ingredient of this cordial is a plant whose rare and precious salutary virtues were well known to the Arabians during the 8th and 9th centuries, when that people shone conspicuous over all the nations of the world for their learning and skill in eradicating baneful diseases incident to the human frame, renovating infirmity to vigor, and restoring the sickly to sound and rosy health, and which, as known at this time by their descendants, and used and experienced as the most sover- reign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This cele- brated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and consid- ered by those wise inhabitants as one of the first of their blessings.
This cordial is also rich and fine in flavor, most grateful to the palate, and the most en- livening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public. ALSO,
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheu- matic Drops.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common-laced remark however is too often FORGOTTEN whilst we are active and strong—and pre- vention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any descrip- tion of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stron- er claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheu- matism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Glects, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originat- ed—and hence every relief which can be ad- ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.— Those persons whose avocations peculiarly ex- pose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their peri- lous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, their warm climates, they will be found a trial to convey the most lasting service will gradually destroy all tendency to dis- in the human frame, and preserve health vigor. Although a great variety of pre- parations have been published to cure the ders enumerated above, none has yet the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DR. DR. TISSOT, which are celebrated thro- out the European continent, and whose bounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen well known in America, being of the first con- sequence in the state of Maryland: Gene- Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gil- Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. cubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, o Ample certificates and affidavits of neficial effects of these medicines may by applying as above.
