Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States—particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed, the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of light. Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousands not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.
SOLD BY WM. Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where also may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c. Restorative Drops, Essence and Extract of Mustard, Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, Dr. Hahn's infallible German Corn Plaster, Indian Vegetable Specific for the Venereal complaint, Gowland's and Persian Lotion, Restorative Tooth Powder, Damask Lip Salve, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills, &c. &c.

Gazette of the United States.
PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24.
From Ruffel's Commercial Gazette.
[The following statement of the proceedings of the Court of Admiralty of Tortola, in the case of the Galen, capt. Ashby, of Salem, taken and carried in there, in consequence of some informality in her papers, is considered of sufficient importance to justify us in giving it an entire insertion in this day's Gazette.]
JOHN WHITBY, Esquire, commander Virgin Islands of his Majesty's Severn, Tortola. AGAINST, The barque Galen THOMAS, ASHBY, Master, and cargo.
THIS is an information against the barque Galen and cargo, for a breach of the laws of trade, in taking on board a cargo of West India produce from the island of Trinidad, at present a British possession, intending to convey the same to a foreign country. The said barque being owned and navigated by foreigners, whereby the said vessel and cargo as is alleged, have become forfeited, one moiety to His Majesty, and the other moiety, to the said John Whitby, as the seizing officer—and praying a Decree of confiscation accordingly:—A claim has been interposed by the American master for the vessel and cargo in question, as the property of himself, Joseph Waters and Clifford Crowningshield, including the returns for the privileged adventures, of himself, mate and crew; all citizens of the United States of North America, and for costs and damages for the seizure and detention—in support of his claim, the master states among other things, that he carried in the said vessel, a cargo of American produce, chiefly provisions, to the island of Trinidad, where he was informed he might trade; provided he would take sugar, cocoa, and molasses in payment. That thereupon came to an entry in the Custom-House, and landed and sold his cargo, and the adventures of his crew; and by the permission of Governor Picton, took on board the present cargo; that the same was duly and regularly cleared out at the Custom House of Trinidad, and that he paid to the proper officer of the Customs there, the duties chargeable thereupon; that he failed from thence the 20th day of July last, with the convoy, which he lost—That afterwards on his way, endeavouring to make Tortola, to join them, he was seized by the informant, and sent thither—He also further states that there was a Public Notice, stuck up in the Custom House of Trinidad, by Governor Picton, authorizing and allowing all American masters to dispose of their cargoes, and to carry away in return, sugar, coffee, cocoa, and molasses, and that if he had not been the said Public permission, he would not have laden the said articles, as he never had any intention of infringing any of the laws of Great Britain, and the same facts are corroborated and supported by the attestation of Joseph Isaac Rogers, the mate; the next paper in evidence is the licence to sail, and is in general terms in the name of Governor Picton, subscribed by a person calling himself his Secretary, and is stated to have been done by His Excellency's command, and of the same date, is a general Clearance, sealed and subscribed by a person who calls himself Super-Intendant—An Account Current is also introduced by the master, between himself and William Harrison & Co. of Trinidad, which he states on oath to contain a true specification of the cargo carried out, and also of the cargo now on board the barque—these are all the principal documents in evidence, the other papers appear to be the usual and regular American ship papers, with a bill of lading and invoice of the outward bound cargo, and the letter of instructions to the master—the circumstance of the vessel being originally designed for Demerara, and going to Trinidad, owing to her falling to leeward, I have not thought necessary before to notice, nor is it here material. I have, since the vessel in question was brought into port, seriously reflected on the matter of the seizure, and on the day of trial, I gave all due attention to the very able and pointed arguments adduced, as well those on the part of the prosecution, as also those on the part of the claimant, and I am free to confess, that I left the Court, after the hearing, with little doubt in my own breast, what Law, Justice and sound policy demanded of me, and what it was my duty to do on the occasion. I considered the subject of so momentous a nature, under the circumstances existing and in evidence, and involving in it matter of such magnitude, that had I found the documents in evidence, correct, I should most undoubtedly have acquired the property, and left the party dissatisfied to his appeal—The question in my mind did not turn upon the Law, simply as a seizure, for a breach of the Laws of trade, wherein the revenue, trade, or navigation, of the Empire were, merely concerned, but on a point very important, in its probable consequences and effect, and such as might eventually endanger the security of the possession of the island of Trinidad, which Britain holds, no otherwise than as a conquest from Spain, which if she does, as I trust, and hope she will hold to the end of the war, that event will decide, to whom it is to appertain.
No civil government, since the capture, appears to have been there established; a military government under certain modifications there prevails, and for the present is perhaps best adapted to its condition. The gentle-
man, chief in command, I have always heard reported very respectable, enterprising and worthy the trust. I hold the law to be clear with me, that his Majesty may, during the continuance of war, govern a conquered country, in the manner that may appear to him best calculated to secure the conquest, and that at the end of the war, and not before, if the conquest is retained, it will then become a part of the British Empire, to be governed in common with the rest, and entitled to participate in her civil constitution. Of course, his Majesty in the present circumstances of that country, may admit the intercourse and trade, to the extent contended, without exercising what has been called a dispensing power: a power certainly odious and unconstitutional—And if I understand the arguments right, the principle I am to be admitted. So in my mind the Governor, the King's sole representative there, under circumstances of which he is the proper judge, may exercise the same authority, and that he is amenable for the same to his own government only. The annual act of indemnity cited in this cause, is sufficiently satisfactory to me, to show that the laws of trade are frequently in particular instances, and under pressing circumstances, and occasions, in time of war, departed from, that government know it, expect it, and excuse it, by indemnifying against it, and that therefore, it is the duty of a court of admiralty, acting upon the principles of the laws of nations, and possessing the equitable jurisdiction it does, to support, rather than contravene the influence of the exercise of such an authority; presuming the free liberty of trade, as at present indulged at Trinidad, a just and politic measure, and in a business like the present, where the citizens of an independent state, such as those of the United States of North America, are interested—I should have thought it my indispensable duty to have decided in holding the obligation of justice and equity most sacred between one independent state, and another, and of the highest political import, and any other decision, in my judgment would be unjust, oppressive, and a breach of public faith.
Many pertinent observations were made in the course of the arguments, at the hearing which, do not strike me at present to be material to observe upon; but I thought it my duty to premise what I have done. I now proceed to add, that it undoubtedly is the province of this court to preserve and protect the revenue of the state, and the trade, commerce and navigation of the empire, and to punish whenever an intention is manifest to defraud the one or injure the others, or where the same shall have actually happened, and the offending party can be come at: And I am very apprehensive in the present case one or both these circumstances will in the end discover themselves; because the clearance states the vessel to be loaded with 75 hogsheads and tiers of sugar, 30 hundred weight of cocoa, and 120 hogsheads of molasses; whereas if the clearance is attentively looked into, what is therein stated at 75, was originally 25, how or by whom, it has been altered, does not appear, and the same clearance makes no mention of the coffee that forms a part of the cargo. The quantity however being only 341 pounds. If there is no more on board? is undoubtedly inconsiderable.
Then the master swears that the account current between him and Harrison and Co. contains a specification of the cargo carried out, and of the cargo on board; the coffee, is stated to be a part, and the sugar, is set at 66 hogsheads only; What a fanaca of cocoa is, I know not, but that is there set at 36 of them, and 77 pounds.—The returns for the privileged adventures it may be contended, accounts for the difference in the quantity of sugar, but the erasure manifested on the clearance, is no where attempted to be accounted for; the master in his attestation swears, that the cargo was duly and regularly cleared out at the custom house of Trinidad, and that he paid to the proper officer of the customs there, the duties chargeable on the said cargo, as will appear by the papers and documents taken from him;—I have examined them all and find no mention or allusion to the matter of the duties unless the general clearance, circumstanced as it is; is to be considered, as implying so much under the general terms, of the master having entered and cleared his vessel according to law. These several circumstances raise in my mind a suspicion, that his Majesty's revenue has been defrauded. I with however to give the claimant for himself and party, citizens of a state in amity with us, every reasonable indulgence, and favorable opportunity of doing away, if he can the suspicions arising from the circumstances I have alluded to; considering also the importance of the subject before the court, I think it my duty to decree, and I do hereby decree further proof in this cause to show whether the cargo actually on board, has paid the regular duties, to the extent, and in conformity to Governor Picton's regulations, in that respect, to discover if possible, when and by whom the clearance was erased, and why, where twenty was first inserted therein, 70 now stands, also why the coffee was omitted to be there mentioned, and whether coffee is an article under the said regulations, permitted to be exported in a foreign bottom to a foreign country, or not:—When the necessary proof can be obtained on these particulars, this court will finally decide on the present subject: In the mean time I order that the barque Galen and cargo, be secured under the care and custody of the collector of his Majesty's customs of these Islands, and appraised by indifferent persons to be nominated by the informant, or his agent and by the claimant, or his agent, and on the said claimant's giving good and sufficient security for the amount of the appraised value thereof to the informant, to abide the future decision of this court in the premises; that the said vessel and cargo be restored to
the claimant, with liberty to depart this port therewith, for the place of his original destination, and that in case the said claimant shall fail, or decline, to give such security, that the said vessel and cargo be forthwith sold and disposed of to the highest and best bidder, and one moiety of the proceeds of sales, lodged with the collector of his Majesty's customs to abide the final determination of the cause, and the other moiety thereof, paid over to the informant, or his agent, good and sufficient security being first given to the said claimant, for the amount thereof, to abide the future decision of this court in the premises.
From the Baltimore Federal Gazette.
Messrs. Yandt & Brown, SEEING an extract of a letter under the Boston head, bearing date at Tortola, September 17, respecting the seizure and detention of the barque Galen, of Salem; I send you the following statement of facts:—Myself as well as my chief mate attended the trial on the 14th August; and according to the libel or monition, I was brought into port for having on board sugar and cocoa, which the king's attorney said was prohibited to Americans, and pleaded against the barque for a breach of trade; that the governor of Trinidad had no right to clear an American with the above articles on board. It was then heard in court that the barque's papers were fair and just, (as they came from the office at Trinidad). Before the king's attorney sat down, he told the judge he hoped that his honor would pronounce the barque Galen, with her cargo, as good prize to the captors; the judge's reply was, that he could hardly think it would be the case, but he should take a few days to consider of it before he could give judgment, (or words nearly to that effect). The matter then rested four or five days—when Mr. Liele called on me and told me that the judge had discovered an erasure in my clearance; I went directly with Mr. Liele to the judge, to see if any thing of the kind had taken place; they gave me the clearance, which I found to be scratched and altered since I gave it up to captain Whitby.
I told the judge that if any thing had taken place by erasure in that clearance, since I left Trinidad, it was never done by me or to my knowledge, and never discovered any thing of the kind before now.
It is very true that a gentleman was sent to Trinidad, and I believe as commissioner on the business. This gentleman was a Mr. Cook, the agent for the ship that took me.
My attorney, as well as the attorneys for the captors, had access to the barque's papers from the time I was carried into port to the time of her trial, and never discovered any erasure until after the trial, (as they told me); neither was anything touching the matter spoke of at court.
All that I had to fear at the trial, was the want of the governor's proclamation at Trinidad, giving permission to Americans to clear out with sugar and cocoa, which was supposed would cause the barque and her cargo to be sold, and the money rest with the marshal, until I could procure that proclamation.
That as for my going to Trinidad, it was quite out of my power, when deprived of every farthing that I had possessed, and could not obtain credit at Tortola for money to bear my expenses (if I could have found a passage), otherwise I should have gone on, and followed Mr. Cook with cheerfulness. And I think the gentleman that wrote the letter, ought to be charitable enough to confess, that it was quite out of my power to get to Trinidad at that time.
How far Mr. Cook (the ship's agent) will effect his mission, I will not venture to say; but I trust there are some good men in Trinidad.
