CONFEDERATION OF THE RHINE.

His most serene eminence (Durchlauchtige Eminenz) the prince primate, over the possessions of the princes and counts of Lowenstein Wertheim, on the right bank of the Maine, and over the county of Rheineck.

The prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen over Trochtelfingen, Jungingen, Strabenberg, manor Ostrach, and the part of the lordship of Mosbach which lies on the left bank of the Danube.
Salm Kyrburg over the lordship of Gemen.
Isenburg-Burstein, over the possessions of the count of Isenburg Budingen, Wechtersbach and Mehrholz, without any pretensions on the part of the branch in the present possession being urged against him.
Ahrenberg over the county of Dultmen.
XXV. The members of the confederation shall take the sovereignty of the imperial knightdoms included within their boundaries. Such of these lands as lie between the states of two of the confederates, shall be, with respect to the sovereignty, partitioned as exactly as possible between them, that no misunderstanding with respect to the sovereignty may arise.
XXVI. The rights of sovereignty consist in exercising the legislation, superior jurisdiction, administration of justice, military conscription, or recruiting, and levying taxes.
XXVII. The present reigning princes or counts shall enjoy as patrimonial or private property all the domains they at present occupy as well as all the rights of manor and entail that do not essentially appertain to the sovereignty, namely, the right of superior and inferior administration of justice in common and criminal cases, tenths, patronage and other rights, with the revenues therefrom accruing. Their domains and chattels, as far as relates to the taxes, shall be annexed to the prince of that house under whose sovereignty they come, or if no prince of the house be in possession of immovable property, in that case they shall be put upon an equality with the domains of princes of the most privileged class. Those domains cannot be sold or given to any price out of the confederation, without being first offered to the prince under whose sovereignty they are placed.
XXVIII. In penal cases the now reigning princes and counts, and their heirs, shall preserve their present privileges of trial. They shall be tried by their peers. Their fortune shall not in any event be confiscated, but the revenues may, during the lifetime of the criminal, be sequestrated.
XXIX. The confederate states shall contribute to payment of the debts of their circle as well for their old as their new possessions. The debts of the circle of Suabia shall be put to the account of the kings of Bavaria and Wirttemberg, the grand duke of Baden, the princes of Hohenzollern, Hechingen and Stigmaringen, the prince of Lichtenstein, and prince of Leyen, in proportion to their respective possessions in Suabia.
XXX. The proper debts of a prince or count who falls under the sovereignty of another state, shall be defrayed by the said state conjointly with the now reigning prince in the proportion of the revenues which that state shall require, and of the part which by the present treaty is allotted to attach to the attributes of the present sovereign.
XXXI. The present reigning princes or counts may determine the place of their residence where they will. Where they reside in the dominions of a member or ally of the confederation, or in any of the possessions which they hold out of the territory of the confederation, they may draw their rents or capitals without paying any tax whatever on them.
XXXII. Those persons who hold places in the administration of the countries which hereby come under the sovereignty of the confederates, and who shall not be retained by the new sovereign, shall receive a pension according to the situation they have held.
XXXIII. The members of military or religious orders who shall lose their incomes, or whose common property shall be secularised, shall receive during life a yearly stipend proportioned to their former income, their dignity and their age, and which shall be secured upon the goods of the revenues, of which they were in the enjoyment.
XXXIV. The confederates renounce reciprocally, for themselves and their posterity, all claims which they might have upon the possession of other members of the confederation, the eventual right of succession alone excepted, and this only in the event of the family having died out, which now is in possession of the territories, and objects to which such a right might be advanced.
XXXV. Between the emperor of the French and the confederate states, federatively and individually there shall be an alliance, by virtue of which every continental war in which one or other parties shall be engaged shall be common to all.
XXXVI. In the event of any foreign or neighboring power making preparations for war, the contracting parties, in order to prevent surprise, shall upon the requisition of the minister of one of them at the assembly of the league in Frankfort, arm also. And as the contingent of the allies is subdivided into four parts, the assembly shall decide how many of those shall be called into activity. The armament, however, shall only take place upon the summons of the emperor to each of the contracting parties.
XXXVII. His majesty the King of Bavaria binds himself to fortify Augsburg and Lindau, in the first of these places to form and maintain artillery establishments, and in the second to keep a quantity of muskets and ammunition sufficient for a reserve, as well as a baking establishment at Augsburg, sufficient to supply the armies without delay in the event of war.
XXXVIII. The contingent of each is determined as follows:
  France 200,000 men   Bavaria 30 000   Wirttemberg 12 000   Baden 8 000   Berg 5 000   Darmstadt 4 000   Nassau, Hohenzollern and others 4 000 
XXXIX. The contracting parties will admit of the accession of other German princes and states in all cases where their union with the confederation may be found consistent with the general interest.
XL. The ratification of the present treaty shall be exchanged between the contracting parties, on the twenty-fifth of July, at Munich.
Done at Paris, July 12, 1806.
104 packages now landing from the ship Hero, capt. Cole, from Bremen, which will be sold on moderate terms, by Robert Young.
ASSEMBLY OF THE JEWS IN PARIS.
PARIS, Sept. 11.
The German Papers, having most strangely perverted the answers given by the Synod of the Jews convened in Paris, more particularly those given to the third and sixth questions, we have to gratify a number of our subscribers republished all the answers, as we have obtained them from a well informed correspondent.
(Journal des Commerce.)
1st Question.—Is a plurality of wives permitted to the Jews?
Ans.—It is not lawful for the Jews to take more than one wife. They generally comply with the laws of the European states in which they reside, and those forbidding polygamy, the Jews comply with those laws.
Moses did not expressly command to marry more than one, neither did he forbid it. It would appear that taking it for granted that such a thing would happen, he regulates the portions of children of different wives. Although polygamy was tolerated in the East, the ancients proscribe to the Jews not to marry more than one woman, unless their substance afforded the means of providing for more, & their issue. It was different in the west, where desirous of conforming to the usages of the nations among which they settled, the Jews generally renounced polygamy. Some few individuals however still following that practice, a synod was convened at Worms in the 11th century, in which the Rabbi Gershom presided, composed of 100 Rabbies. This assembly pronounced an anathema against every Israelite, who should thereafter marry more than one woman; this prohibition, seconded by the influence of European manners and laws, has been obeyed ever since.
2d Question.—Does the religion of the Jews admit of divorce? Is such a divorce considered as conclusive, when at variance with the laws of France?
Ans.—Divorce is allowed by the law of Moses, but it is not valid unless previously decided by the tribunals according to the laws of France. Submission to the laws of the Prince is the first duty of all Jews, and if it is a fundamental maxim adopted among them, that in whatever relates to civil and political concerns, the laws of the state shall be paramount. Before they enjoyed in France the same rights as other citizens, and when by special acts of the state, which permitted them to govern themselves in conformity with their religious customs, they had the liberty of divorcing their wives; it was however very rarely used. Since the revolution they have entirely conformed to the French laws; and when admitted to the rights of citizenship, the Rabbies and principal Jews of France appeared before the local municipalities, and took the oath, strictly to conform in all things to the laws of France, and to have no other rule in the adjustment of their civil concerns. Thus they can no longer consider divorce pronounced by their Rabbies as valid, since to be so it must be previously pronounced by the civil tribunals of the state.
Inasmuch as the Rabbies, by a decree of the Consuls, were forbidden to administer the marriage ceremony, unless the parties could show that they were previously married by a municipal officer, so also they cannot pronounce divorce unless previously pronounced by the civil authority. If even this decree did not decide the point, the sentence of the Rabbies would not be valid, as the law in regard to civil concerns would be superior, to which either of the parties would have the right of appealing; from all which it results that the sentence of the Rabbi, without the sanction of the civil law, cannot be valid. And it is further evident, that since the Jews marry before the civil magistrate, that no Jew, who respects his religion, can repudiate his wife, unless by double divorce, and on which account it is asserted that the law of Moses is perfectly conformable to the civil law.
Question 3.—May a Jewess marry a Christian, or a Christian woman marry a Jew? or does their law allow them only to marry among themselves?
Answer. The laws do not say, that a Jewess shall not marry a christian, nor a christian woman a Jew; neither does it declare that the Jews can only marry among themselves. The law forbids only marriages with the seven Canaanite nations, with Amon Moab, and the Egyptians. The prohibition with the seven nations is absolute, that respecting Amon and Moab is according to the laws of the Talmud, confined to the men and not to the women, but it is believed that the latter ought to have embraced the Jewish religion. The law concerning the Egyptians is confined to the third generation. The prohibition is strictly applicable to the nations who worship idols. The Talmud declares formally, that the modern nations are not idolaters, seeing that they, as we do, worship the Lord God of heaven and earth, hence many marriages have taken place between Jews and Christians, in France, Spain and Germany. These marriages were permitted or prohibited by the princes in whose kingdoms or states the Jews resided; some such marriages are to be found in France at present,
yet we cannot conceal that these marriages are against the opinion of the rabbies, according to their tenets it is held that in the acceptance of the Talmud, a marriage requires religious ceremonies called Kiddushin, and the nuptial blessings, and as marriage is valid in point of religion, the said ceremonies are not performed, is evident that no such marriage can take place between two individuals who should not both consider the said ceremony sacred, in which case they might separate without being under the necessity of applying to their church for divorce. The rabbies would be considered as civilly, but not religiously married. Such is the opinion of the rabbies, members of the assembly, and they would in general be not more inclined to celebrate the nuptials of a Christian man with a Jew, or of a Jewess, than the Roman Catholic priests would be disposed to consecrate such a marriage.
The rabbies however confess that a Jew who marries a Christian woman does not therefore cease to be a Jew in the opinion of his co-religionists, the same as he who marries a Jewess civilly and not according to the precepts of the religion.
Question 4. Do the Jews consider Frenchmen as brothers, or as foreigners?
Answer. The Jews consider Frenchmen as brothers, and not as foreigners, and which mode of considering them is in conformity with the principles of the law of Moses.
At the time when the Israelites existed as a nation, their legislator prescribed to them, to love the stranger as their brother. Remember, said he to them, that you have been strangers in Egypt. Respect and kindness towards strangers are not only recommended by Moses, as a mere practical duty of social morality, but commanded by God himself. "When getting in your harvest, said he to them, do not go back to gather the gleanings, leave them for poor strangers, and the widow, do not ill treat the stranger, do him no injury, love him and give him bread, supply him with clothes, if he want, I am the Everlasting, your God, the Everlasting lover of strangers."
To these sentiments of benevolence Moses adds, the love of mankind in general. "Love thy equal as thyself," David also expresses himself, "The Lord our God is all goodness, his mercy extends over all his works."
A Talmudist says, "we are obliged to love as brothers, to visit the sick, to bury the dead, and to assist the poor of the stranger, the same as if they were Israelites, whatever may be their opinions. There is in truth no act which a true Israelite ought not to perform to a stranger." His principles are, to forsake idolatry, not to blaspheme, not to commit adultery, not to kill or wound a fellow creature, not to rob, nor deceive, and to maintain justice. All our principles therefore make it a duty for us to love the French as brothers.
A pagan once required of the Rabbi Hille, information respecting the Jewish religion, and to be briefly informed of its principles. He received the following reply: "Do not to thy fellow creature that which thou wouldst not should be done unto thee." This is true religion, the rest is but consequence. A religion which prescribes to love the stranger, which recommends the practice of all the social virtues, enjoins us to love a fellow citizen as a brother. How can we consider them otherwise? we inhabit the same soil, we are ruled and protected by the same government, enjoy the same privileges, and fulfil the same duties.
There is between the Jew and the Christian another tie on the former, effacing the recollection of any difference in religion; that of gratitude, inspired by a free tolerance of our religion, which in addition to other favors, has acquired such force that we cannot avoid joining our destiny with that of France. Yes, France is our native country, and Frenchmen are our brothers. This glorious title, while it gives us more estimation in our own minds, is a pledge that we shall never cease to deserve it.
Quest. 5. What are the relations which the law prescribes to those French who are not of the Jewish creed?
Ans. The relations are the same as from one Jew to another. We acknowledge no other difference but that of worshipping God, each in his own, and we believe this differing does not displease the God of Heaven and earth. The answer to the preceding question shows the relations which the law of Moses, the Talmud, prescribe to us with the French and our religion. And now since the Jews are no more a distinct nation, and since they enjoy the advantage of being incorporated into the great nation, which they consider as a political redemption, it is impossible

that a Jew can consider a Frenchman who is not of his religion, different from one of his religion.
Quest. 6. Do the Jews who are born in France, and who are treated by the law as French citizens, consider France as their native country, and are they obliged to defend her?
Ans. Men who have adopted a country in which they have resided during several generations, who under the restraint of particular laws which abridged their civil rights, and who had affection enough for that country to prefer the misfortune of not partaking the rights and privileges of the other citizens, to that of leaving her, cannot now consider themselves in France but as Frenchmen. The obligation of defending her appears to them a duty both honorable and natural. Jeremiah, chap. 29, "tells the Jews to consider Babylon as their native country, although they were to remain there but seventy years. He recommends to them to clear the land, to build houses, to sow and plant." They followed his advice in such a manner, that Esdras, chap. 1, says "that when Cyrus gave them leave to return to Jerusalem, in order to rebuild the second temple, no more than 40,360 left Babylon, and that these were chiefly proletaire , all the rich having remained in that city." The love of the Jews for their country, is a feeling so natural and so ardent, and so much unconnected with their religious faith, that a French Jew when in England, although in the midst of other Jews, considers himself a stranger, and that the same takes place when an English Jew comes to France. This feeling prevails so much against the spirit of the religion, that French Jews have been seen in the late wars fighting to the utmost against German Jews, who were opposed to them. A great number of them bear honorable scars, and have given in the field glorious proofs of their valour.
Quest. 7. How are the Rabbies appointed?
Ans. Since the revolution, in all places where the Jews are sufficient in number to support a Rabbi, he is chosen by the heads of families, who examine into his morality and capacity.
Quest. 8. What jurisdiction of police had the Rabbies over the Jews? Have they any judiciary jurisdiction among themselves.
Ans. The Rabbies have no jurisdiction of police over the Jews. The term Rabbi is loaned to where in the law of Moses, nor did it exist in the time of the first temple—the first mention of Rabbi is to be found towards the end of the second temple.—The Jews were governed in those days by Sanhedrims or tribunals. There was one superior tribunal called the Grand Sanhedrim, which held its sittings in Jerusalem, and was composed of seventy-one judges.—There were inferior tribunals for police and civil affairs, these were composed of three judges, and there was another tribunal composed of twenty-three judges, which determined matters of more importance, and were called the inferior Sanhedrims. The term of Rabbi is noticed for the first time in the Misna and Talmud and is there used to denote a Doctor of Laws, hence a man who was learned was commonly called Rabbi. After being dispersed the Israelites formed small communities in those places where they were permitted to settle, and there a Rabbi, assisted by two doctors, called Besdins , formed a tribunal and decided matters relative to the Jews. The Rabbi was president and the doctors judges or assistants. These tribunals however were at all times, held under the permission and pleasure of the government under which they lived, that is they had no independent judiciary.
None of those tribunals of Rabbies are to be found at this time in France or Italy since the Revolution. The Jews after that epoch became citizens, and conformed themselves in all things to the laws of the state.
The functions of the Rabbies in the places where they are established, are confined to the duties of preaching, celebrating marriages and pronouncing divorces.—In places where there is no Rabbi, any Jew learned in his religion, may agreeable to the law consecrate a marriage, without the assistance of a Rabbi, which is an inconsistency, the evil consequences of which ought to be remedied, by extending the prohibition of the Rabbies made by the arrest of the Consuls to every other person who shall be applied to, to consecrate a marriage. As for what concerns the judiciary police among themselves, they can have none since there is no constituted ecclesiastical hierarchy, nor any subordination of religious functions.

We shall probably receive these papers in the course of this morning. In the meanwhile we can assure the readers of the Mercantile Advertiser that no political movement of consequence had taken place since the date of our former advices. The death of Mr. Fox has occasioned some new arrangements in the British ministry. Lord Hawick succeeds that illustrious statesman as minister for foreign affairs; and Mr. Thomas Grenville fills the office of first lord of the admiralty, rendered vacant by his lordship's promotion. No other changes have come to our knowledge.
Of Lord Lauderdale the London papers cannot afford us any information: we know he was in Paris on the 25th of September. But the passengers in the New Guide mention it, as a prevailing opinion in England that peace would not be the result of his mission.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20.
We have the satisfaction of confirming the information of the Spanish forces having crossed the Sabine . Advises, dated October the 5th, have been received from general Wilkinson, who was then stationed on the south side of the Sabine . Previously to leaving Natchitoches he had informed governor Cordero, that in compliance with his duty, he should be obliged to attack the Spanish troops, unless they retired beyond that river. Not having received a satisfactory answer from the governor, the American army was advanced about twenty miles beyond Natchitoches, when the Spanish forces crossed the Sabine . Proposals of accommodation, founded on the agreement of the Americans and Spanish commanders to abstain from occupying a distance of country to be designated, were made by general Wilkinson to governor Cordero; to which the latter had replied that he did not consider himself authorized to enter into such a convention without instruction from the governor general of Mexico, to whom he promised to write immediately. From the distance of this province no answer can scarcely be expected in less than a month.
At the time our forces advanced, the militia had joined them, in greater numbers than had been expected, and even beyond the requisitions made; thus affording the most unequivocal demonstration of their fidelity to the United States.
At the latest dates general Wilkinson had dismissed all the militia, except about one hundred and fifty cavalry, which, with the regular troops, were stationed on the Sabine ; the Spaniards being stationed on the farther bank.
(National Intelligencer.)
LATEST FROM THE WESTWARD.
A Natchez paper of the 14th ultimo, says,
"The detachment of troops from this territory, destined to Natchitoches, all except captain Farar's company of dragoons, are on their return, having received orders from general Wilkinson to that effect—the Spanish troops having all retired beyond the Sabine ."
MIRANDA —A gentleman who arrived at Boston on the 10th inst. in 22 days from Barbadoes, informs, that he left Miranda there, where he had arrived to seek additional forces, after successful attacks on Coro, Marycabo and Little Gibraltar. The Barbadoes papers speak very favorably of Miranda's prospects.
TRADE WITH HAYTI —We can state from good information, that the trade which the British government has granted licenses for with the Haytians, does not permit it to extend to any intercourse with the British colonies, but only as carriers from Hayti to the continent of Europe, after the produce is bonded in Great Britain.

FROM ISLE OF FRANCE —Captain Stone, of the ship America , who arrived at Newburyport on Saturday, in 97 days from Isle of France, informs, that that
place has not been blockaded; a British squadron of one 74 and three smaller vessels were cruising round the island, but appeared well disposed towards Americans. Market dull, and coffee extremely high. Came passengers in the America , Thomas Sackins, esq. and all his officers (the purser, J. Edgwick, excepted) late of the East India company's ship Warren Hastings , which was captured on the 21st of June last, in lat. 36 13, s. long. 46 45, e. by the French frigate La Piedmontaise , of 46 guns and 385 men, commanded by captain L'Eptou, after a very warm and close action of four and a half hours, in which the Warren Hastings lost her fore and mizzen masts and bowsprit, and her main mast much injured; the purser and six men killed, and 13 wounded. The truly melancholy fate of another Salem ship is bro't by captain S. and strongly points out the necessity of sufficiently arming those ships which are intended to visit those barbarous coasts.

From the Massachusetts Spy.
THE EX VICE PRESIDENT TURNED TRAITOR!
An article in the Alexandria Expositor (a paper which is printed within seven or eight miles from the seat of government) states (as a mere rumor, however) that a warrant has issued for the apprehension of Colonel BURR , on a charge of HIGH TREASON!!—We do not vouch for the authenticity of this rumor, but state certain facts, for the truth of which we do vouch and which go very far to prove the rumor is well founded.
When general Eaton was at Washington, last winter, he was introduced to Col. BURR , who was then at the seat of government. Having learnt the bold, adventurous, and enterprising character of this hero; believing him to be a mere soldier of fortune, and that like himself, he was ready to engage in any cause, either good or bad, which promised a harvest of military glory, BURR proposed to him that he should join his desperate fortune—go with him to the Mississippi —take the rank of a general officer, under him, as commander in chief— erect the standard of rebellion against the government of the U. States—sever the union, and establish a distinct and independent government, to be composed of all the states west of the Alleghany Mountains !! Such was the general project, the minute details of which were particularly stated. Gen. Eaton was struck with horror, and stood aghast at the proposal. He soon afterwards, in the true spirit of patriotism, communicated the conversation to the president of the United States, who treated it with perfect indifference. Recent occurrences in the Western Territory (such as the building of boats on the Ohio , and a variety of movements, indicating a spirit of revolt) have drawn the attention of the government to that quarter of the Union.
General Eaton has been requested to certify in writing the substance of the proposal made to him by Col. Burr . This, we are assured from unquestionable authority, has been actually done; and upon this, it is probable, the charge of High Treason is founded. We are much inclined to believe, therefore, a warrant has issued, and pray to God, this modern Catiline may be apprehended, and suffer the punishment due to his crimes!!
We cannot forbear to submit a few remarks to the serious and solemn consideration of our readers. By the intrigues of ambitious men, and by the delusion of an infatuated people, Col. Burr was made the second officer of the government, and turned upon a pivot which had well nigh made him the first. President Jefferson , in his inaugural speech having been long intimately acquainted with the public as well as the private character of this man, with a modesty peculiar to HIMSELF, spoke of him as having, in every other respect than his age, at least an equal claim with himself to the office of chief magistrate. They acted in perfect concert, until it was discovered that Burr had nearly jostled him from his place, by intriguing for the presidency. He was then denounced, and driven with disgrace from his office. By way of regaining the confidence of the administration he became the murderer of Bamilton ! After having achieved this glorious exploit, he visited Washington for the first time after his disgrace, and seemed to enjoy a temporary favor at court. It was suggested (with how much truth we do not pretend to determine) that he was sent into the western country, as an agent of the government. With how much fidelity the purpose of his mission has been executed, we leave the public to determine after he shall have been convicted as a traitor.
But what are we to think of a party who have elevated such men to power! What are we to think of a president, who has eulogized the integrity and patriotism of such a man, with a perfect knowledge of his character, and has acted in perfect concert with him till it was discovered he had been a dangerous political rival! Or what ought to be our opinion of a government, which employs him in the public service, as a reward for shedding the blood of a political enemy!
These are serious and solemn admonitions to the true republicans of our country who have hitherto been deluded by the trick of a false name. They are solemnly called upon to rally around the federal standard, if they wish to restore safety to the union, or security to themselves, their wives and their children. If they wish to see the flames of civil war extinguished on our frontiers, and sweeping over the face of our country, let them persist in their attachment to the present order of things, and unless we are saved by a miracle, they will soon be granted to the utmost extent of their wishes!

THE FOLLOWING
New and Valuable Medicine, Is just received for SALE, by the Subscriber, at his Store in King-street. PRICE—TWO DOLLARS PER BOTTLE.
Dr. TISSOT'S
Celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place 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 most expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of Dr. TISSOT, which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubin, Esq. Mrs. Macubin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.
THOMAS KELSO.
Baltimore, July 22d, 1806. Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, as was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, hank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
ON the night of Tuesday the 14th instant, a negro man, named BEN, the property of the subscriber, broke the jail of Prince George's county, where he had been put for security, and made his escape; in his escape he was accompanied by a white man of the name of EARL, who had been committed for robbery. Earl said he was a sea-faring man, a native of Philadelphia, that his father had been sailing master of the United States ship Congress, whilst under the command of Captain Decatur, and is now commodore of the gun boats stationed off New-Orleans. He is about 5 feet 10 inches high, slender made, about 24 or 25 years old, and has light brown or sandy colored hair. I think it is probable he may carry Ben with him and pass him as his slave until he has an opportunity of selling him. Whilst in jail Earl's cloathing was a blue India cotton seaman's jacket, and trousers of the same. Ben is a shoemaker and gardener by trade, he is also a tanner, and can be a very expert house servant—he is about 33 years of age, and from 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches high, stout and square built, has very woolly hair, red eyes, flat nose, and a black complexion—he is a fellow of considerable address and great plausibility, disposed to be rather pert and impudent, especially when intoxicated, but is easily reduced to submission.
I will give a reward of Thirty Dollars to any person who will secure him in any jail so that I may get him again, or to any person who will apprehend him and bring him to me. I will give a reward as follows: if taken 100 miles or upwards from home I will give 50 dollars, if taken from 40 to 100 miles from home I will give 40 dollars, or if taken within 40 miles of this place I will give 30 dollars, besides defraying reasonable expenses in bringing him home.
All masters of vessels and others are hereby forewarned from harboring, employing or carrying off said Negroes, as I will prosecute whoever shall do so with the utmost rigor of law.
