Late FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
From London Papers to the NINETEENTH of August, received at the office of the Gazette of the United States.
LONDON, August 19.
Neither French Papers nor the Hamburg Mail has arrived. The public expectation, with impatience, some information concerning the progress of the negotiations upon the Continent.
Upon this interesting subject. Some there are who endeavour to account for the silence of the French Government respecting the settlement on the 29th July of the preliminary basis of negotiation, in this manner;
they say that Buonaparte was not only desirous to suspend the communication of the intelligence till it had received the solemnity of a ratification, and thus to prevent all over sanguine expectation in the people of France, but that the draft agreed to contained some reservation, by which an opening was left for this country to become a party to the discussions for a definitive peace;
that the desire of the Emperor, and the known sentiments of the neutral powers, particularly of Prussia, in favour of a general peace, had brought about this disposition to comprehend this country in the conferences to be pursued.
We do not give this report as one that deserves much credit, but it is at least a good omen that such speculations are received by the friends of Ministers, as if they wished them to be true.
If Ministers, indeed, find themselves utterly foiled in the attempt to spirit on the Emperor to the continuance of the War—if they find the Mediating Powers eager to discountenance those who are averse to a general Pacification, they may be induced at least to try the resources of a negotiation, either for Peace (if unfortunately it should be attained) or for prosecuting the contest if it was unsuccessful.
In this situation of affairs it must be the interest, in the narrow sense of the word, of all the Belligerents, to seem willing to put an end to the War, to effect a desire to treat, and thus obtain for their cause the credit of moderation, and the appearance of justice.
The following list of articles are forbidden to be imported into Russia, either by sea or by land: Toys of all sorts, such as snuff-boxes, watch chains, seals, opera glasses, except such as are mounted with pearls, or precious stones, or in plain gold or silver, without carving or chasing; port folios, pocket-books of every sort, with their instruments; and all kinds of trinkets, such as rings, crookes, &c. Sword handles, sabres, daggers, and all other arms, except such as are mounted in plain gold or silver; all kinds of gold and silver lace, tassels, fringes, band liers, fashes, &c.; fur caps; boots, shoes, and slippers of every kind; locks and padlocks of all sorts; frames for mirrors and pictures of all kinds, unless of gold or silver; carriages, sledges &c. of all kinds and descriptions; all sorts of hats; hatching for shoes; knives and forks of every description; skins and leather for shoes and boots; brass and all sorts of kitchen utensils made of copper; laces of thread or silk of all sorts; needles and pins; fans, whips, and gloves of all sorts; every sort of dresses and ornaments for ladies; muffs of all kinds; every sort of furniture; mirrors and coffee mills; blue paper, and every other sort used by painters; also thin silk paper; combs, powder, and pomatum all sorts of dolls; ribbons striped or spotted; silk stuffs embroidered or spotted; velvet ditto; all sorts of stained paper, and all kinds of tapestry.
Richard Riley, a marine belonging to the Queen Charlotte man of war, blown up off Leghorn, arrived in town last week; he, with Mr. Dixon, the gunner, fortunately saved themselves by floating on the head of a cask, and after being tossed about from eleven to one in the afternoon were taken up by an American boat; this is the second providential escape Mr. Riley has experienced, being one of the crew saved out of the Boyne, when the blew up at Spithead on the first of May 1795.
Yesterday morning arrived a Mail from Lisbon, brought over in the Walsingham packet, after a passage of 21 days. Several private Letters of the 26th and 27th state that the Portuguese Government is not without anxiety with respect to the hostile designs of the French Republic. There has been of late a frequent interchange of Couriers between Paris, Madrid; and it was reported that a considerable encampment of cavalry, infantry, and artillery was forming near Cordova in Andalusia. Great care has been recently taken in disciplining the Portuguese troops; and some English and German engineers have been dispatched to inspect the fortifications of the frontier towns.
The following has been communicated to us by a correspondent as the naval strength of the Northern powers. We have not the means at the moment of verifying the statement, but we conceive it to be greatly overrated. Even were this force effective, we should not be very much alarmed. We have little opinion of the efficiency of confederacies either by sea or land; if attacked with vigour and system they are overthrown, because they almost never act with vigour and co-operation.
The following are the ships of war belonging to the powers of the North
THE RUSSIANS Have in the Baltic but 53 of the line; the rest, amounting to 67 more, are in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
Of these ten are at Cronstadt, the rest at Copenhagen and the Catigat.
The frigates and sloops &c. of the Russian navy, are stated at 160.
THE DANES Have ready 37 of the line, 7 of which are three deckers; 8 are of 50 guns, and 12 of 70. The Danish frigates are about thirty-three.
THE SWEDES Have thirty one sail of the line, and sixty-three frigates, sloops, &c.
THE PRUSSIANS Have a great many armed vessels at Danzig, Elbing, Stettin, &c. but there is no exact balance of them yet.
Nothing seems so much out of view at present with the Continental Powers as that which brought them together in a confederacy. The Commune Causa is no longer talked of; it never had a very precise meaning, and now it has none at all. Each power seems now ambitious of the few odd things which may be picked up in the general scramble.
Last night the Hamburg mail arrived, but at too late an hour for the delivery of the letters. We can therefore only lay before our readers extracts from the Public Journals, which they will see contain the idle rumours with which the public anxiety for peace was abused yesterday, by some of our own prints. There is not a shadow of probability in the article from the Hague. It is a mere fabrication, however proposition Mr. F. Jules brought to Paris; it was not satisfactory to the Chief Consul; and yet not offensive to him; since he dispatched his confidential friend, charged no doubt, with his ultimatum to Vienna. Mr. Duroc could not arrive there till the 6th or 7th instant; and yet by this paragraph from the Hague, the preliminaries were signed in Paris on the 29th ult. We shall probably learn from private letters this day what impression the Danish seizure has made on the Northern Courts, and what probability there is of a rupture from our persisting in the right to search all vessels under the neutral flag.
The letters from Danzig, by the mails which arrived on Tuesday, state that the king of Prussia on the 24th ult. laid an additional duty of 125 guilders per last on all wheat to be exported, including even what was on board the vessels ready to sail. This is equal to about 11s. per quarter, a duty which acts as an absolute prohibition of wheat from his dominions.
It is not easy to account for this unexpected circumstance. Whether the harvest in Poland is unproducing, or that the Prussian granaries have been too much drained by the demands from this and other countries; or whether the intelligence had not reached Berlin, of the favourable change in the appearance of the British crops, and that he has resolved to profit from our necessities, we know not, but the fact made a material impression on the corn exchange yesterday, where good foreign wheat advanced full 15s. per quarter since Monday last, and the few samples of English wheat rose in the same proportion as cargoes which began selling at 65s. per quarter on Monday, were yesterday sold at 90s.
The Gazettes of Hamburg and the north of Germany, state that our Minister offers to the House of Austria as an inducement to continue the war against France, to maintain in Italy an army of the best English troops, amounting to 40,000 effective men, till the conclusion of a peace. To this army are to be added 4000 Neapolitan cavalry, which England will take into its pay.
Before the opening of the campaign, Buonaparte wished to open a loan of twelve millions in Holland. It could not be accomplished. Now the Dutch propose to raise it.
Field Marshal Colloredo was to have repaired to the army of Gen. Kray in the capacity of Commissary Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty, in order to take cognizance of the causes of insubordination that prevailed in that army, especially among the generals and officers of the Staff; but it is said that the Field Marshal has declined accepting that important mission.
The report that Buonaparte refuses to admit Great-Britain as a party in the negotiation for peace, must surely be without foundation. He never could think of a measure so flattering to our "high consideration" of the blessings of war.
If bread baked in the country is allowed to be brought to the metropolis, and sold without any control of the magistrates, we may soon expect that the quarter loaf will
become one of the cries of London; and from its composition greatly to the advantage of the Apothecaries' Company.
It is generally supposed that the French will consent to the restoration of the Bourbon race about the same time that the Dutch accept the ancient government of the House of Orange!
A ministerial paper of yesterday confidently asserts, that preliminaries of peace between France and the Emperor, were either signed, or definitively arranged, at Paris on the 29th ult. We have repeatedly stated the probability that some general basis was then laid down, which Duroc accompanied Count St. Julien to Vienna finally to adjust. The paper in question has no authority besides the probability of the event for its statement; for what additional confirmation is there in a pretended private letter from Hamburg?
Capture of the Danish Convoy.
The precise manner in which the Danish convoy was stopped ought to be ascertained. In order to reason upon a fact which is likely to have consequence so important, we ought to know the circumstances accurately, as they are reported by the Danes themselves, as well as by our own people. We understand that they state the case to be exactly as follows:
"The Danish frigate the Freya, commanded by capt. Krabbe, having a convoy of six merchantmen, was met on the 25th of July by six English ships of war, commanded by capt. Baker. An English officer went on board the Danish commodore to learn the destination of the convoy; he was satisfied as to this point according to the established usage, soon after he returned, desiring permission to visit the convoy, which was refused. Upon this the English frigates approached, and one of them fired a shot at one of the Danish vessels. The Danish captain returned the complement by firing a shot at a head of the English ship. The English commodore renewed the demand of visiting the convoy; which was again refused by the Danish commander, who at the time assured him, that the vessels had nothing contraband on board; but added a declaration, that he would not suffer, according to his instructions any boat to go on board of the vessels under his protection. Notwithstanding this declaration, a boat was seen making its way towards the Danish vessels, upon which he fired a shot ahead of the boat without touching it. Upon which the English commodore fired a broadside, which wounded two men on board the Danish frigate; he then returned a broadside and an engagement began, in which the Dane fought not only with the English commodore, but with three other vessels; and being thus overpowered, he struck his flag. The Freya was carried on board the British commodore's ship, and the convoy, as our readers know, was carried to the Downs."
This we learn to be their account of the transaction. It does not materially differ from the first statement, except that the Danish commander in the first place made a declaration that he had nothing contraband under his protection, and that he was forced into action. The matter stands therefore solely on the British claim of visiting and searching vessels under convoy, which for so long a time our flag has maintained, and which we understand Lord Whitworth has express instructions to justify. The representation by him will make it evidently to be seconded by the fleet of Admiral Dickson, which has followed him to the North Seas; and thus though the present is not perhaps the moment when we should have chosen to discuss the great question, our ministers seem determined to assert the right.
We have reason to believe that previous to this affair, no confederacy to resist our claim was definitely concluded. The Danish Court avoided all opportunities of Sweden on the point; but as far as her own declarations could go, she always denied the right of Britain to search vessels under her royal flag.
LONDON, August 20. Yesterday the mails from New-York and Halifax were received in town; the former dated the 6th July, the latter the 24th, brought to Falmouth in the Lady Hobart Packet, Duck, master. Her passengers are Mr. John Hartman, Mr. D. Hartman, and Mr. Lutman, from New York, and Mrs. Brimer from Halifax.
Lord Castlereagh arrived in town last Sunday night from Dublin. Mr. Cooke had arrived some days before.
The Turkish ambassador set off at 3 o'clock yesterday morning from Constantinople. He is ordered home to undertake the office of minister of foreign affairs!
It is superfluous to agitate the public mind with enquiries into the instructions of ambassadors, or the destination of armaments. Fortunately for once, the secret of the expedition has been as sacred as that of the diplomacy. Whatever be the extent and alternatives of Lord Whitworth's commission, the public will observe its success or miscarriage in the quick return of the convoy, or in its passage through the Straights of the Baltic. His Lordship's embassy also will, under every issue of it, disclose and put government in possession of the true state of any treaties which may have been concluded or projected among the northern powers relative to an extension of the privileges of the neutral flag.
A refusal upon the part of Denmark to disclose these negotiations would be equivalent to a declared act of hostility, and would amount to a tacit acknowledgement of hostile intentions and preparations upon the part of that nation.
Bonaparte has declared, that it is the will of the French people to have a navy; and while the said navy is growing or building, for it is not clear by what means they are to have it, the official paper is discussing the method by which it is to defeat the St. Vincents, the Keiths, and the Nelsons. Now all these elaborate disquisitions appear to us very superfluous, if it be only for the simple and clear reason, that if it be the will of the French people to have a navy, it must be their will to have peace first.
The planting of the Tree of Liberty by the French at Turin does not seem to augur favourably for the restoration of the King of Sardinia. It must be acknowledged that the "just Sultan" and the "just men" have used that monarchy from the beginning, with a degree of cool and cruel perfidy, that far outstrips the common flights of the Revolution.
HAMBURGH, August 8.
This instant official intelligence from the Hague, of the 5th instant, was brought to the Dutch minister in this city, and also to citizen Abema, Minister from the lower circle of Saxony, announcing the signing of the preliminaries of peace between France and the Emperor, at Paris, on the evening of the 29th of July. The Batavian directory in an extraordinary sitting communicated this important news to the two Batavian chambers of Legislature. The preliminaries are said to be founded on the treaty of Campo Formio.
VIENNA, July 30.
Lord Minto, the British ambassador, after receiving some dispatches from his court, dated July 13th, had a long conference with Baron Thugut, the minister for foreign affairs. It was said that the British cabinet was not averse to a general peace upon reasonable terms, but resolved at the same time to make every sacrifice to induce its allies to prosecute the war if the French should be extravagant in their demands. In that case, Austria has been offered new subsidies to the amount of one hundred millions of florins. The Austrian cabinet continued to improve in its pacific dispositions, and expected to receive the terms of Peace from Paris; after which Count Lehrbach was to be sent off on a diplomatic mission. The armistice in Germany and Italy is also said to have been prolonged for several months, during which the negotiations were to be carried on. The new Spanish ambassador to the Porte, the Chevalier, Coral, had been presented to the court of Vienna previously to his departure for Constantinople.
ITALY, July 24.
The Papal provinces of Romagna, with Imola, Forte Pifora, and the town of Ferrara, were occupied by the French in the name of the Cisalpine Republic; but the Austrians kept possession of the citadel of Ferrara.
The Emperor, in the act by which he granted the Pope the possession of the reconquered provinces is said to have expressly excepted the three legations.
HEIDELBERG, August 1.
Since the conclusion of the armistice the number of French troops in Germany has been prodigiously increased. Parties of cossars are continually passing to the Rhine by Bahl, Strauburg, Mannheim and Mentz.
HAGUE, August 2.
Yesterday evening between five and six o'clock arrived here a courier, from our minister at Paris, Citizen Schimmelpenning, with the pleasing intelligence, that the preliminary articles of peace between the Emperor as King of Hungary and Bohemia, and the French Republic are already arranged, and as some say, signed on the 29th of July. It is supposed to have for its basis the treaty of Campo Formio.

PEACE.
From the following articles, we are led to believe, what we before supposed, that certain Preliminaries of Peace between France and Austria, at the negotiation of which St. Julien assisted, were actually signed at Paris on the 29th of July. There the fact, for many reasons, which can be conceived, was only current in whispers; the rumour spread to England, and was there published on the 4th of August; & although we have papers to the 9th no fact had been discovered to authorize a formal contradiction.
The Dutch Government, apprized of the occurrence, and not knowing, or regarding on such an occasion, French motives or etiquette, made the exhilarating news public at once. The departure of St. Julien for Vienna, on the 31st of July, is a corroborative.
The article below is translated from a Paper brought by capt. Rodman, who has arrived at Providence in 40 days from Amsterdam.

In the sitting which the Batavian Legislative body held yesterday, a letter from the Executive Directory was read and as it was presumed that it contained the news of the preliminaries of peace between Austria and France, a great concourse of spectators were present in the two chambers. At the reading of the letter, the contents were heard with the greatest applause: it says, "If the glorious triumphs of the French arms in the plains of Maringo, and upon the borders of the Danube had reanimatied the hope of peace, and if this had been confirmed by the subsequent armistice in Italy and Germany, the important news of the preliminary basis of a peace to be negotiated between the house of Austria and the French Republic, signed on the evening of the 29th of July last, will give us a certain prospect that a desirable pacification will at length, put an end to a destructive war at least upon the continent." This intelligence, so agreeable was "brought us yesterday by an extraordinary courier."
NORWICH, (C.) Sept. 25.
PLEASING INFORMATION.
It is with real pleasure, that we are enabled from good authority, to inform the friends of government, that our next election, will be truly FEDERAL, and that the members of Congress from this State, will be the choice of the people, and friends to peace and good order—notwithstanding the wishes and the greatest exertions of a few to counteract a free election.
NEW-YORK, September 27.
Striking Phenomenon:
ONE of the CLOCKS in this city, supposed to be the Clock of the Middle Dutch Church, was lately heard to strike, without ceasing fifteen times. This happened near the morning; and the strokes were distinctly counted by several persons who were awake at the time.
Though I am not apt to be credulous or superstitious, yet the fact is so well authenticated, and it is so uncommon that I must believe it, and am inclined to think that there may be something ominous in it.
The Church was the Dutch Church, one of whose Ministers is said to be the author of "Serious Considerations;" the strokes answered to the number of States composing the American Republic; and the event happened near the morning, or just before the dawn of day.
May not these circumstances point out, that this Church shall contribute to the preservation of the Union of the States and their excellent Constitution; and that the present wrath, confusion, and abuse of characters shall soon vanish before a bright Morning of Order, Peace, and Harmony?
Some spitefully construe the event as a call to Mr. Jefferson, who never goes to Church—no, not were the Bell to ring fifteen times.
Others of a melancholy temper, and disposed to view every thing on the dark side, interpret it, that one of the Ministers of said Church shall be roasted sixteen times; or that had he sixteen tongues, and were to write as many pamphlets, they would be as unavailing to convince some of his hearers, as the striking of a Clock to awake those in a deep sleep.
But I rather believe that the interpretation which I have given, will be thought the most natural and just. Prognosticator.

The Editor of the Aurora pledges himself to the Public, that "he will stand or fall with Gallatin's Statement"
The prolix communication of "the Aurora" is on a momentous topic, and deserves serious consideration.
Want of room compels us to omit several articles intended for this day's Gazette.
The ship Maria, Capt Henry, arrived at New-York on Saturday last, from London, bringing London Papers to the 22d August.
We yesterday received London papers [Morning Chronicle] to the 19th of August, brought by this vessel.
The following interesting article is extracted from a paper of the 13th—further extracts will be found in the opposite page.
LONDON, August 13.
The following appears under the Paris head of the 9th instant:
"The conferences opened at Paris with the Envoys of the United States have been suspended, and are not likely to be renewed with effect.
It appears that their powers are too limited to conclude a similar treaty with France as Mr. Jay negotiated with England. France prefers having no treaty with America to the alternative of sanctioning the advantages which it has given to its enemies."
Capt. Mann, arrived at the Port from Jacquemel, informs that Sept. 5, at 10 a. m. Tiberon bearing WNW. 10 leagues distant, he was boarded by the British frigate Milager, Capt. Perkins, and politely treated.
The Vengeance was just arrived from Curacoa bound to France, and is the same vessel which was defeated by Commodore Truxton.
The Atlantic, captain Waters, of this port was examined by the St. Albans, British man of war, off the Hook, and finding that she had no enemy's property on board, dismissed her, after having supplied the Atlantic with provisions.
For the 24 hours preceding Friday morning at sunrise there were 27 deaths in Baltimore and its vicinity.
The ship Triumph, from Philadelphia, bound to New-Orleans, was spoke on the 1st of September, the Riding Rocks, then bearing N.
A gentleman who left Boston on Wednesday last, informs that a number of vessels had put in there and at Salem, dismasted—one of which was a large ship that had lost all her masts.
The Executive of Massachusetts has issued precepts for another trial for the choice of Members of Congress, for the Fourth Western and Third Middle Districts, on the 20th of October next.
The 84 prisoners taken into New-London by the Trumbull, have been marched to Hartford, under an escort of militia.
Copy of a letter from a merchant in St. Thomas, to a mercantile house in Baltimore dated August 18, 1800.
GENTLEMEN,
I have just time to inform you, that general Rigaud, with two of his brothers and nephews, arrived here yesterday morning, in a Danish schooner from Jeremie, from which place he was obliged to fly with the remnant of his followers, as Toussaint is now in possession of all the Island of St. Domingo.
Mr. Duncan McIntosh, of your place, on hearing the account from Rigaud himself, immediately set off in a Schooner for Aux-Cayes, in order to seize as much property as he could that belonged to his friends, and it is very possible he may effect the desired object, as he is a person of some influence at that place.
P. S. General Rigaud, with his attendants, is ordered off the island in 24 hours by the commandant.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. WAYNE,
In matters which relate to the police, the health, and trade of the City, we have our points of information; but in a matter of the utmost importance, and in which every well-wisher to his country feels himself deeply interested at the present moment, we are greatly at a loss to know what is doing.
It is true we have appointed a committee "to correspond with our Federal Friends, and to pursue such measures as may be found advisable to promote the Federal interest, previous to the ensuing election; and I hope they are attending to the trust committed to them.
But while the presses are teeming with addresses from an opposite party, containing the most scandalous falsehoods, our committee appear entirely passive!
ONE OF THE PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. WAYNE.
A Gentleman of great respectability who resided in New York during the American Revolution, and who was well acquainted with Tench Cox while with the British army in that place, declares that T. Cox was one of the Board of Refugees, that was established for the trial of the unfortunate Americans who fell into the hands of the British General.
Let every American think of this. TRUTH. Note, up goes Huddy for White. N. B. The fact can be proved.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 27.
Important!
Last evening came up the Pilot boat Perseverance, on board of which was a pilot who brought into the quarantine ground an English Schooner in a very short passage from Martinique.
The Captain of this Schooner informed this pilot of the taking of Curacoa by the French.
This was effected by troops which embarked on board of 150 sail of sloops and Schooners at Guadaloupe. On their approaching the port of Curacoa, a chain was ran across the harbour, which prevented their entering, but they soon after effected a landing on some other part of the island, advanced to the city, and after a bloody conflict, the French got possession of the place.
The Captain further states, that the United States brig Pickering was in the harbor at the time, and joined with other Americans in defending the place against the French, who, when they conquered, massacred every American in the place, including the consul, officers and crew of the Pickering.
The Pilot further adds, that he was informed, that the reason of this armament being fitted out against Curacoa, was, because the Governor of Curacoa would not receive bills on the Governor of Guadaloupe for the expenses incurred in repairing the Vengeance.
The Pilot could not recollect the names of the above Schooner and captain, but says it was told to him as no ways doubtful—and that the Captain was anxious to come up to town himself to relate the news, as he esteemed it of the utmost importance to America.

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. Fasts of this conciliative 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 feverish 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 sight. 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 of cases 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.
