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.

Extract of a letter from a very intelligent and respectable gentleman in Cadiz, to his friend in this city, dated
"CADIZ, March 31, 1809."
"We are assured that Austria has declared war. If so, the affairs in this country will take a very different turn. The British, notwithstanding their reverses in the north of Spain, have returned to the charge, and thirty thousand men have arrived at Lisbon, and the van guard are marching on against the French, and may soon again expect to be up with them. An army of near 40,000 Frenchmen are in the adjoining province to this, and coming down it is supposed to attack us, but there is every reasonable hope to think that every thing will go right; for my part, I have not the least apprehensions. The Spaniards have suffered much—it was natural to suppose they would, and the cause of Spain has been a good deal injured by the alarm given in England, after the defeat of sir J. Moore's army. These people suffered much, but more from want of information and management than any thing else. But after all, if it is true, which we have every reason to suppose, that Austria has declared war, and she makes any resistance, nothing is to be apprehended from this side."
Latest from Spain.
SEVILLE, March 20.
The captain-general of the army and principality of Catalonia, D. Teodoro Reding, sends the following account to the central supreme board of government of the kingdom, in a dispatch dated the 27th of last month.
In an attempt to carry into effect an excellent plan which had been adopted, in concert with his excellency Don Thomas de Veri, representative of the said central supreme board, and with the general's and superior officers who were to concur in the execution, for the purpose of placing the troops in more advantageous positions, the latter succeeded, after a number of skirmishes with the enemy, in stationing themselves from Martorell, through the Bruch, Capelladas, S. Magi and Coll de Sta. Christiana, as far as Tarragona, the head-quarters of the whole, under the orders of camp-marshall D. Juan Bautista de Castro, being in Igualada, thus covering the south of the principality, and to the northward, extending as far as the Valles, all the inhabitants of which were to be levied en masse . And, as the commander in chief reposes the utmost confidence in lieutenant-colonels D. Ramon de Milans, and D. Juan Claros, he resolved to entrust them with the execution of a part of the plan, which they readily undertook; and he further appointed to act with them, D. Francisco Milans, whose name has been so repeatedly mentioned during this war.
The more to expedite the operation, he ordered the former to repair, by the shortest road, to certain points previously agreed upon, and the latter to do the same, placing under their command three regiments of miquelets, and investing them with the requisite powers. It was at the same time determined, that their troops should make a general attack upon the enemy's: and there only remained to appoint a day for them all to act in concert, when general St. Cyr, who had been concentrating his own, assailed on the 16th February, in great force, several points on the left, compelling our people successively to fall back as far as Igualada which general Castro abandoned in good order, retreating with the artillery by the Cervesa road.
And as this movement, while it disconcerted the plan of the commander in chief, excited his apprehensions respecting its consequences, he immediately determined to collect all the troops, or at least the best part of them, and to march them to Tarragona. For this purpose, unwilling to trust any one else, he set out himself from the last mentioned town, on Monday the 20th, with only 300 horse, a Swiss battalion and 6 pieces of flying artillery; which determination was approved of by all those who were consulted. With this small force he proceeded to the village del Pla, the enemy being in sight on his right, and at that time employed in plundering and burning the towns of Villarodona and la Pobla.
Upon his march, he collected the troops which had retreated from the Coll de Sta. Cristina, and sent positive orders to brigadier
D. Miguel de Iranzo, who was shut up with 1200 men in the monastery of St. Cruzes, and who had been for 2 days making a most gallant resistance against the enemy who surrounded him, to march out, that very night, and after fighting his way thro' the French, to come and incorporate himself with his division; which he effected without losing a single man or the least article, as the enemy either had retreated, or did not notice his escape until the next day.
Thus reinforced, he moved towards Sta. Coloma de Quaralt, where he had scarcely assembled the troops which Castro had at Montmaneu, and those which were in the same town of Sta. Colomo, when he received the unpleasant intelligence that the French had entered Valls, with a design to intercept his retreat to Tarragona, and to cut off his communications with that town. Under these circumstances, he first thought of attacking Igualada, and next falling upon Montbuy, posts where the French had only a few men whom it would have been easy to disperse; but having held a council, which was attended by his excellency Don Tomas de Veri, who constantly accompanied him during the whole expedition, his return was resolved upon, not only because it was highly important to maintain that point, but also for the purpose of covering the country in the neighborhood of Tarragona.
On the 23d he began his march from Sta. Colomo towards Montblanch, with a view to flank the left of Valls, which was occupied by the enemy, and reached Montblanch on the same day, having previously sent to the Coll de Lilla a detachment of light troops, and of armed peasantry from the neighborhood, under the orders of an officer in whom he confided.
The appearance in his rear of a few of the enemy's men who immediately withdrew, turning, by the Coll de Cabra, towards the Pla and Valls, convinced gen. Reding that their object was merely to reconnoitre the strength and description of his troops; and accordingly, on the 24th, he held a meeting of the officers most distinguished by their rank and abilities, in which it was resolved, by a majority of votes, to set the army in motion without losing one moment: and that it should, that very night, pass the Coll de la Riba, or de las Morlas, and draw as near Tarragona as possible, without courting an engagement, but, on the other hand, without declining it, if a favorable opportunity should offer.
And indeed, the army immediately began its march which the narrowness of the passes and the bad roads retarded beyond what was expected; in such a manner that, at five in the morning, the advanced guard, commanded by general Castro, and one half of the centre had already passed Valls, leaving the enemy's fires on their right; but the other half of the centre, and the rear under camp-marshall D. Josef Joaquin Marti, still remained behind. All had hitherto passed and continued to march in the best order and the most profound silence, nor had any advanced party of the enemy's made its appearance; but scarcely had the general crossed a small bridge with his suite, when a discharge of musketry was made close upon him, which occasioned a little confusion, and wounded several individuals.
He immediately began to collect such troops as were following him, ordering, at the same time, those which went before, to stop and retrace their steps, for fear that the enemy should cut off the half of the central column and the whole of the rear with the convoy of waggons, ammunition, and part of the artillery. He took his station on a rising ground pretty well situated for the purpose, and had the satisfaction to see that all the corps repaired, with the greatest speed and alacrity to the posts pointed out to them. The artillery he directed to be planted on three different points; and observing that the enemy were coming down the heights of Valls in three columns, he ordered several light parties, supported by some cavalry, to advance for the purpose of checking their progress and driving them back.
Our artillery began to play within rather better than half gun shot; and so did the enemy's which kept showering upon us grenades and balls, some of them from eight pounders, which our troops stood with the greatest intrepidity; nor was this quality less conspicuous in their charge on the right and left. Reding, seeing his light parties engaged, resolved to follow up the advantages which they had obtained. It is not easy to describe the ardor with which the regiments pushed on, in emulation of each other, compelling the enemy to fall back, and even to fly as far as the foot of the heights of Valls. Their artillery was silenced, and we seemed to have won the day, when fresh reinforcements enabled them to make a more vigorous stand upon their heights.
Their obstinacy; the signals which they
made, first by lighting five fires upon different points, and next with two rockets; and the weariness of the troops, which, after marching the whole night, had been manoeuvring and firing until noon, somewhat damped their ardor, and induced the general to bring them all together, as was actually done upon the height which they had at first occupied.
This army thus collected upon that point, and the whole of the convoy, waggons and every thing else, being safe, it was deemed proper to continue to retreat towards Tarragona, previously allowing the men to take rest and food; but the enemy gave them no time for it, as, after collecting the whole of their scattering troops, according to the declaration of a prisoner, they charged upon three different points, displaying all their forces with the greatest ostentation, to show how numerous they were.
Our artillery re-opened immediately, and within a proper distance, poured such a shower of grape shot upon them, and with so much precision, that their columns were retreating and advancing at one and the same time. And yet valor alone could save our troops; it was endeavored to spirit them up; and they all appeared ready to fight to the last, which they actually did. The enemy feigned to make a brisk attack upon the right, but the real and most vigorous charge was directed against our left which they finally succeeding in breaking through, after a most obstinate and gallant resistance. Some corps arrived at Tarragona in pretty good order; others in small parties; and most of the men, dispersed; and general Reding reached that town on the night of the 25th.
This is one of those actions in which valor had to yield to numbers: ours scarcely amounted to 10,000. And yet they maintained their ground, and stood the most tremendous fire for eleven hours together, without betraying the least fear or want of resolution; owing to which circumstance the loss has been very considerable on both sides. General Reding adds, that he cannot state the amount of ours, with any degree of certainty, until he have received the detailed returns which he promises to forward, with a list of the individuals who most particularly distinguished themselves.
In this report, which the general must have supposed would be made public, not a word is said of his having been wounded; but his majesty knows it from another official paper in which it is mentioned, and from its being stated in a letter of D. Thomas de Veris, in which a due tribute of praise is paid to the skill, gallantry and sang froid of D. Teodoro Reding. And accordingly his majesty has resolved, that this act of generosity should be made public, which considerably heightens the well known merit of his eminent and most valuable qualities; and he has, at the same time, the satisfaction of knowing, that the general is recovering, and that no apprehensions are entertained of any serious consequence.

LONDON, March 27.
Another important event is to be added to the many which have occurred of late years; a Revolution has broken out in Sweden, and the gallant monarch has been deposed. His uncle has seized the reins of government, and in a proclamation addressed to the people, declares his nephew incapable of conducting the affairs of the nation. The details of this revolution we have not yet received. It was probably concerted by the duke of Sudermania and some of the nobles at Stockholm, with the commanders of the troops on the frontiers of Norway. The revolutionary symptoms developed themselves first among the troops. The want of clothing and provisions had created great discontent, which was foment-
ed by the commander in chief, who broke up from his position, and began his march for Stockholm to demand a diet of the states. On their march they published a proclamation in which they stated that their views were merely these; that the states of the realm and the legislatures shall be at liberty to assemble and deliberate without controul. The proclamation then draws a picture of the wretched state of Sweden; and in speaking of Great Britain and France, says, that the former, the ally of Sweden, shall learn to appreciate and value a nation which knows how to break its fetters, and that the latter shall be taught to respect a people anxious to rival her military powers. The proclamation contains a solemn declaration, that no single inch more of Swedish territory shall be given up to the enemy. The duke of Sudermania, not waiting for the meeting of the states, deposed the king by his own authority, and assumed the government. His majesty was put under arrest as he was about to set out for his country residence. When the guard surrounded him he drew his sword, but he was soon overpowered and when the last advices left Stockholm he was a close prisoner.
That this revolution has been of French contrivance we are not able to pronounce tho' many will be inclined to suspect that it is. Since the revolution of 1772, brought about by the deposed monarch's father, a considerable degree of discontent has existed among the nobles, whose authority was considerably abridged. The revolution too destroyed the influence which the Russian and French parties had over the Council of Sweden an influence so injurious to the real interests and dignity of the country. Great eccentricities of character his Swedish majesty certainly had; he was violent, he was impatient, and acted too much, perhaps, from the impulse of his passions; but it were indeed an act of injustice to impute to him, the miseries of Sweden, or the loss of her territories. Had he chosen perhaps to bend the knee to Bonaparte; to have acknowledged himself his vassal; to have crawled in his train with the servile herd of Rhenish princes; had he linked himself in the same fetters with the kings of Wittenberg and Bavaria, he might have been permitted to have kept Pomerania, on the condition, however, of carrying on no trade with G. Britain. That he did not so debase himself will never be imputed to him as a fault by any Swede who is a friend to the independence and freedom of his country. That the war, and the severity of the season, procured extreme misery is most true, but they were not occasioned by the King. He exercised the right which God and nature give all sovereigns, of defending their territories against any enemy who may attack them. He has failed however in the struggle, and the fall of another lawful sovereign will add another triumph to the many achieved by Bonaparte over the principles of legitimacy, freedom and justice.
The French have retired from the Tagus, after destroying the bridge of Arecibolo; and the Spaniards are preparing to follow them. Some advantages have lately been gained over the French in Spain.
Dutch papers have been received to the 22d instant, and though they do not announce the commencement of hostilities, they afford additional proofs that war is inevitable. The first column of Oudinot's army, 30,000 strong, is now at Augsburg. The second column filed off through Ulm on the 1st, and proceeded in the same direction. The number of French in Germany, including the Rhenish contingents, is estimated at 180,000 men. The Austrian troops are encamped at Egra, in the Bohemia, Lintz, in Upper Austria, and on the side of Italy. Considerable apprehensions are entertained in Saxony on account of the contiguity of the Austrian army, and the treasure and archives have been sent off in great haste from Dresden. From Russia we have not sufficient information to assert that she will take part with Austria; but we have a strong belief that she will. Count Wamoden, an Austrian officer, is reported to be gone to Turkey, to arrange with the Russian general the march from Turkey into Gallacia.

A flag of truce arrived yesterday afternoon at Dover with a Russian messenger on board. He came from Boulogne in a French schooner and his name is De Sass. He left Russia the latter end of February. At seven o'clock last night he set off for London, in a post-chaise and four, and arrived in town this morning. The flag of truce returned to Boulogne as soon as she landed.

It is supposed by some that he is the bearer of another joint overture from France and Russia; but had that been the case, he would have been dispatched from Paris and not from Petersburg. Others assert that he is come with dispatches for the Russian admiral.
Mr. Whitbread asked a question in the House of Commons last night, relative to the revolution in Sweden. Mr. Canning replied that he was not yet prepared to give the hon. member any accurate information. There is doubt, however, that such a revolution has taken place. Immediately after the Duke of Södermanland deposed the king, his majesty was conveyed to the royal palace of Drottningholm, situated in a small island at the distance of about seven miles from Stockholm, where he still remains confined. The chief objects of the revolution being said to be the restoration of peace, couriers were immediately sent to the courts of London, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Copenhagen, with a view to accelerate the event.
The authors of the revolution are ready to cede Finland to Russia, peace it is supposed may easily be concluded. But let us not adopt that opinion too hastily. The emperor Alexander may see in this summary proceeding against his brother in law, something to alarm him. He may know or suspect it to be the work of France, and she holds it up as a kind of warning or menace to him if he should throw off her influence. He may therefore determine to adopt a vigorous measure and to restore his brother in law to his throne by force of arms.
That peace may easily be made by the authors of the revolution with France we can hardly believe. The deposition of their sovereign will be their immediate passport to the grace and favor of Bonaparte.
The French, as appears by the Paris papers to the 10th, did not make their formal entry into Saragossa till the 5th instant. tho' the surrender is said to have taken place on the 21st of last month. The account of Pajol's death is contradicted. Long may he be preserved to his country, of which he is so bright an ornament.
It is announced in the latest letters from Cadiz which are of the 10th instant, that tranquillity has been restored in that city; and that the several persons confined in the Capuchin convent, on a charge of treason, are to be brought to a speedy trial. Upon this subject an interesting proclamation has been published by the Supreme Junta to the people of Cadiz. It asserts the innocence of the Marquis de Villal; and in order to prove it more fully, states that the commissioners who are to examine his conduct are not to be chosen out of their own body, but out of persons different to his person, and partial only to the cause of their country. His papers are said to have discovered no symptoms of treason. having been subjected to the inspection of General Jones, the person in whom more than others the people place the greatest confidence. At the commencement of the disturbances, General Mackenzie was invited to take his troops, in order to aid the popular cause; an interference which he very properly declined.
Adm. Purvis is said at the date of the above letters, to have been employed in assisting to put the ships of war in Cadiz, and preparations for the defence of the town were daily continued.

A petition from the inhabitants of New-Port, praying that the light house at the mouth of their harbor, which was blown down, and is an impediment to the navigation of said harbor, be erected again, was referred, and ordered to be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures. Also, one from sundry merchants of Philadelphia, praying to be exonerated from the penalties incurred under the embargo, which was referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures. It appears this was the case of a licensed vessel, which bonds were given that she would carry any goods, wares or merchandise, the property of a foreign subject; however, on freight sugar at Havana, bound Philadelphia, under the impression
were the property of American citizens; when they actually belonged to a foreign subject; thus were the bonds entered into, forfeited to the U.

A memorial was presented from Charles Turner, of Mass. contesting the right of Wm. Mills to a seat in the house; also one from the inhabitants of Plymouth district, relative to the same subject and both referred to the committee of elections.
Mr. Randolph. I rise for the purpose of making two motions—the nature of which I will explain. The President in his message has omitted to give an opinion upon some of our foreign relations; I allude to that part of it speaking of the standing army, and 100,000 militia. I believe the people of the United States never will submit to see a standing army equipped, armed and provided with resources, and see the militia the proper defence of the nation, deprived of their arms, left bare and unprotected. I believe it would be the most popular act of the present administration, to disband the present standing army. I admit that some troops may be necessary, to prevent collisions with our frontier neighbors &aboriginals; but to have a respectable army in the United States, we must begin anew, as our planters in a new settlement would say, begin from the very stump; for I believe the old establishment is rotten to the core, that it is not a safe depository of the arms of the nation. I do not mean to condemn any man, I only mean to state facts, only to shew what A. and B. said, God forbid I should condemn any man upon mere assertion, much less unheard. It will be seen I have two objects, first to disband part of the present standing army, which motion I should have brought forward, were I sure that every individual from the highest to the lowest were as pure from corruption as the Alpine snows, and second to give to the administration an opportunity of sifting from the bulk those canker worms which might eat and are eating through the heart of our existence. The second motion is intended to institute an enquiry, which shall sweep with the besom of public scrutiny, the impurities of our systems. With these views I submit the following resolutions:
Resolved , That the additional military force created by an act of the last Congress be disbanded, and that the surplus of the appropriations for its support, together with the surplus for the equipment of the gun-boats, be applied to the arming the whole body of the militia of the U. States.
Resolved , That a committee be appointed to enquire whether all monies drawn from the treasury have been applied to the legitimate or proper objects; and to enquire what arrangements could be made to promote economy in the distribution of public monies, to enforce adherence to legislative restrictions, and secure the accountability of persons entrusted with public monies.
Mr. Jackson wished to know whether a motion to go into committee of the whole on the state of the union would not supercede the gentleman's propositions which are now about to be acted on?
Mr. Randolph meant to refer to that committee, and moved accordingly, but so varied it that each resolution be referred to a select committee, to report to the house by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Eppes said in relation to the first motion, that if there was to be a deduction, it should be the old rather than the new levies, from which such deduction should be made in concordance to the gentleman from Va. who has said that the army from its root was rotten. On the second resolution; that it was the peculiar province of the committee of ways and means, to take every step which the gentleman's resolution goes to enforce. However if the gentleman from Va. could identify a charge in a particular department, or against an individual, he would not object to the commitment of the resolution so modified.
Mr. Macon was in favor of a commitment to the committee of the whole on the state of the union; urged the propriety of an enquiry into the state of the treasury, and cited the enquiry made by this house at the commencement of Jefferson's administration; and asked, should we do to others what we would not do to ourselves. He thought no greater honor could be done an extinct administration than an enquiry into its executions which should eventuate in its credit and honor.
The reference of the first resolution to a select committee, being under consideration,
Mr. Lyon moved to divide the resolution into two sections, the second of which he should vote for, but would not consent to the first, because he had no idea that our army should lay down their arms and be disbanded, when every state in the union is vulnerable to rabble, and the country which I represent open to the inroads of savages; and it would be impolitic in the present convulsed state of the world. G. Britain has but told us that she would recede, and so forth, but this is not the assurance of reality, which I wish to see, before I can consent to disband our army.
Mr. Jackson moved that the resolution be referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union, divided into two sections.
Mr. Randolph opposed such a reference. In the course of his opposition he remarked (echoing an expression of Mr. Macon's) the country indeed never will see such an administration as the last; the first 4 years of it had my most hearty concurrence; but the last had my hearty disapprobation; it was the lean kine eating up the fat kine; for the last four years with the embargo in their train, devoured the rich harvest of the preceding 4, and had not some Joshph stopped in it is impossible to sap what would have been the extent of dilapidation; no administration ever went from office leaving the country in so deplorable a state as the last. His object was for ferreting out the rats from the public departments; and to correct what he conceived errors in our military system; for while we were appropriating millions for standing armies, millions for navies, millions for gun-boats, we appropriated but 200,000 dollars for arming the militia of the country, not 20 cents a man for rendering it invulnerable: in his elective capacity he would never, so help him God, vote for any man who would not arm the militia; then we would hear no more of invasions from Canada, no more of Burr and his conspiracy, and the uses that have been made of them, like the Pope and the Pretender, to scare us into compliance, no more suspensions of habeas corpus act, no more enforcing embargo acts.
Speaking of the President he observed, that he would do him the justice to say, as he was disposed to do every person justice, but more particularly him, that he entered on his office the friend of economy, the friend of reform, and that in his practice he was as economical as a man would be who had command of a fleet of gun boats, who had command of a standing army, and who had the resources of the country cut off by an embargo.
The first member was referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the union.
The second member was also referred to the same committee.
The second resolution under consideration.
Mr. Eppes moved to amend the resolution; to insert after the word treasury "from the 4th March 1801, to the present day."
Mr. Randolph concurred in the gentleman's modification, and the resolution was referred to the committee of the whole house on the state of the union, unanimously.
(A misunderstanding having arisen on the passage of the second resolution)
Mr. Troup moved to reconsider the last vote, which was passed by yeas and nays, yeas 55 nays 53.
Mr. Nelson moved for an adjournment—carried.

FROM THE LADY'S MONTHLY MUSEUM, Edited by a Society of Ladies in London. The following Epitaph being reckoned one of the most beautiful in the English language, it is presumed it will be an acceptable treat in the Literary Banquet. It is to be seen in Bristol cathedral, and is from the pen of the affectionate husband of its lamented subject.
Take holy earth, all that my soul holds dear; Take that best gift which heaven so lately gave;
To Bristol's fount I bore, with trembling care, Her faded form:—she bow'd to taste the wave, And died!—Does youth, does beauty read the line?
Does sympathetic fear their breast alarm? Speak! dead Maria! breathe a strain divine; E'en from the grave thou shalt have power to charm.
Bid them be chaste, be innocent like thee; Bid them in Beauty's sphere as meekly move;
And if so fair, from vanity as free, As firm in friendship, and as fond in love! Tell them, tho' 'tis an awful thing to die, ('Twas e'en to thee)—yet the dread path once trod,
Heaven lifts its everlasting portals high, And bids the pure In heart behold their God.

Doctor I. J. Comyn,  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 profession. No genteel person of either sex, can give or receive pleasure or comfort, by teeth coated with tartar or decayed gums, or fetid breath. His method of cleaning the teeth will be found both easy and efficacious, as hundreds can attest in Baltimore and elsewhere. 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 chemical 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 curing the gums, rendering them red and firm, preventing the decay of the teeth and sweetening the breath. Doct. C. fits artificial teeth from one to an entire set, with such nicety, as to answer the useful purposes of nature, and of so natural an appearance that it is impossible 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.

JUST RECEIVED, FOR SALE ONLY BY  James Kennedy, Jen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, The following highly valuable MEDICINE Price 3 dollars per bottle.
DR. JEBB'S  NATURE'S RESTORATIVE, A BALSAMIC CORDIAL. THIS cordial, so justly celebrated throughout Great Britain and the continent of Europe, for its superior efficacy in the cure of all disorders excited by nervous irritability, as well as in complaints of complete debility, whether arising from irregularities of living, long continued residence in warm climates, intemperate pursuits of excessive pleasures, or that destructive habit of inconsiderate youth which brings on so prematurely the infirmities 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 relief it has afforded even in the last stage of consumption, is without a parallel; with regard to its efficacy in this baneful, and unfortunately the prevailing disorder in this country (consumption) its superiority is such as to have copplanted every other medicine.
Those who in advanced life feel the consequences of youthful excess, will find themselves 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 Europe, the thousands it has renovated, when bending under the pressure of nervous, consumptive or hypochondriacal disorders (many attested proofs of which from eminently distinguished 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 efficacies must soon become so prized as to make it considered a beneficial remedy not to be dispensed with by those who are anxious to preserve or acquire 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 sovereign remedy for decayed constitutions, and every species of nervous disorders. This celebrated restorative plant has also been highly estimated for ages past, amongst the most enlightened nations of Greece, and considered 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 enlivening to the spirits of any yet offered to the public.
ALSO,  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic 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 prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten. Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious 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 perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: Genera Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton. Ample certificates and affidavits of the beneficial effects of these medicines may be seen by applying as above. March 11

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 generally wears it platted and turned up behind with a comb—his visage is remarkably thin and his cheek bones high—he has been brought 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 indisposition—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 apprehension and securing of the said Slaves, if taken up on the north side of the river Potomac, and information given thereof to their respective proprietors. A reasonable reward will be given if taken within the state of Virginia, and reasonable charges will be paid if brought home. George Carter, Oatlands, near Leesburg, Virginia. A. Long, County of Calpepper, Virginia. April 19.
