ADVERTISEMENT. To a Gentleman who has not been seen or heard of by his friends in his native country since March, 1806. This gentleman may with perfect safety, both as to publick and private concerns, impart his situation and place of residence to THE EDITOR OF THIS PAPER, who can give him any information about his family. This advertisement is made by those most interested in him, and the reference may be confided in.—The gentleman to whom it is addressed, will know it by these circumstances. He left his native country in March 1806.—He was the only surviving son of his father, whose name was Thomas, born 1740, and married M. E. His brother John who was elder than him, had died before. His twin sisters were C. & A. of whom the former was dead before 1806. He was born in the parish of B. where the estate of his ancestors is. Educated at I. in the county of R. and taken care of by his aunt Cecilia. July 15.
PROPOSALS BY E. BRONSON, AND OTHERS, For Publishing by Subscription, a New Periodical Work, to be entitled
"Select Reviews, and Spirit of the Foreign Magazines." IN offering to the patronage of their Countrymen an agreeable and useful compilation, the editors will seize the occasion to say a few words explanatory of their views.
It is gratifying to remark that the periods of national annals, on which the historian delights to dwell, are those in which the field of literature has attained its highest degree of cultivation; for it is then that a state has reached a point of glory and splendour, where it may indeed long repose, but which it is never destined to pass. The student loves to linger on these scenes of tranquil refinement, when the profession of arms has yielded to the study of letters, and the rough features of war have been softened by the milder influence of the imagination. It is more pleasant to dwell upon the lessons of Aristotle, than on the conquests of Alexander; upon the eloquence of Pericles, and history of Thucydides, than on the battles which they fought, or the victories which they gained. The Augustan age of Rome has obscured the conquests of her Scipios, and among her descendants the names of her heroes are forgotten, while the literary splendour of the house of Medici still illumines the world. The martial fame of Essex is heard of no more; but the glory of Spencer and Shakespeare is brighter than ever. The ambitious plans of Louis XIV. are remembered as a dream; his Condes and Turennes are forgotten, while his Corneille, his Racine and his Moliere continue the pride of France. Marlborough and Blenheim are names sounded only at intervals; but those of Dryden, and Addison, and Pope, will be for ever repeated with increasing delight.
It soothes the observing mind to reflect on the gradual and general cultivation of letters, which has marked the progress of the United States, since the adoption of the Federal constitution. Our men of learning were then rare—our booksellers few and poor; and our students were contented with the scanty doles of literature which chance or charity threw in their way. The volumes which we imported from Europe, were found only in the libraries of a few men of wealth, and but one or two native periodical publications disseminated a few gleams of literature among the middling classes of society. A great alteration has occurred within a short period. The wealth which the troubles of Europe threw upon our shores, secured by the care of an established government, has been fortunately not exclusively confined to the purchase of the luxuries of commerce. A considerable portion of it has been appropriated to the cultivation of letters, and it is now rare to find a village without a circulating library, or a native American who has not been taught to read and to write.
We have not yet, however, attained that extent of population which is sufficient to supply us with our own writers. Our means of subsistence are of such easy acquisition, that the professional literary character, who lives by his pen, is scarcely known. There are, indeed, a few honourable individuals, whose exertions have been chiefly directed to the establishment of periodical journals. But they are unaided by that phalanx of literary combatants, which is indispensable to success, and whatever may have been their patronage from the purses of the publick, they have painfully experienced the want of literary contribution.
Journals, Magazines and Reviews, have been established in Europe, and particularly in Great Britain, with the design of prescribing a general and condensed view of the state of literature, and of directing the researches of those who have not leisure to be students. They have been conducted by associations of men of genius, who have found in their ranks Addison and Steele, Goldsmith and Johnson, Marmontel and Burke; and under the care of such men, publick journals have deservedly taken a high station in the republick of letters. Their successors are among the first literary characters of the age. They now stand as centinels at all the avenues to literary fame; and although some of them are faithless to their duty, and level their weapons against those who have really the counter-sign of genius, while traitors are permitted to pass unnoticed, it is yet easy to collect from their reports the real state of the field of letters. They abound with the speculations of men of genius, which deserve to be separated from the wretched effusions which disgrace their pages.
The patronage which is afforded to the public journals of Europe, is evident from the numbers which now exist, and are incessantly multiplying. They have increased, until themselves would almost furnish a library, and until their importation into the United States can be made only by the man of wealth or by public institutions. In addition to their expense, they have the misfortune of aiding the circulation of many unsound speculations, which corrupt the morals of youth, and many false criticisms which pervert the public taste, and which can be prevented only by a careful revision and impartial selection of those, who, relying on the patronage of Americans, deem it worthy of their care.
The editors of the present compilation propose to extract from all foreign and American Journals, Magazines and Reviews, such articles as, in their judgment, merit preservation. They hope by such means, to present to their countrymen, a mass of sound literature, which, while it will aid the man of science in his researches, and the student in his closet, will enable the desultory reader to place on
his parlour window a book that will cheat life of some of its cares.
The middling class of society is, at present, almost wholly deprived of this pleasant and instructive kind of reading; for the price of any one foreign journal exceeds the price at which the present compilation will be offered. It is important that this class should possess the means of information; for their habits and their opinions stamp a permanent and controlling feature on the national character of a state, and eventually direct it to the fever of anarchy, the palsy of despotism, or the cheerful health of civil liberty.
The editors are making arrangements to carry their plan into execution. They ask the patronage of the public. They promise to repay it by impartiality of selection, by diligence, and by labour, and they now offer the following CONDITIONS.
I. The work will be handsomely printed at the Lorenzo Press, on superfine woven paper, and published in monthly numbers, each to contain seventy-two closely printed octavo pages, and will be delivered to subscribers in the city on the first day of each month, and forwarded to country subscribers without delay. II. The price to be five dollars a year, to be paid on the delivery of the sixth number of every year. III. The numbers will be so arranged as to form two volumes in each year, and a title page and index will be given with each volume. IV. No subscription to be discontinued except at the end of a volume, and on payment of what may then be due. V. Those persons who may procure ten subscribers, and become accountable for the payment, will be entitled to one copy gratis. The usual allowance will be made to booksellers. VI. The first number will be published on the first of January next, or sooner if practicable. N. B. Booksellers throughout the United States are invited to communicate to the publisher, post paid, the titles of such books as have been lately published by them, and such as they are about to publish, in which case an early opportunity will be taken to insert the best reviews of those works, together with a notice of the persons by whom they are published. Orders for this Magazine, post paid, will be received by the publisher at the office of the United States' Gazette, Philadelphia, and by the principal booksellers throughout the United States, and at the OFFICE OF THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
MR. LEROY ANDERSON'S REMOVAL, LEAVING this place destitute of an ESTABLISHMENT for the EDUCATION OF YOUNG LADIES; and Mrs CAMP having determined to remain here another season and to receive boarders as heretofore;
I propose, in conjunction with Mr. George Blackburn, professor of Mathematics in the College of William and Mary, to undertake the charge of an Academy in the same house, wherein it was usually kept next door to Mrs Camp's. In this Academy, young ladies will be taught all the branches more immediately conducive to mental improvement, and those ornamental accomplishments which are deemed so necessary that they have become an almost indispensable part of female education. Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic; the English Grammar, Geography, and History, will constitute the English Department, the charge of which will be undertaken by Mr. Blackburn. Under the denomination of accomplishments will be comprehended the French Language; Music, Drawing and Dancing; which will be taught by me.
Mr. Blackburn's acknowledged scientific abilities, and his skill and experience as an instructor of youth; our united exertions; and our punctilious attention to the duties of our respective departments, induce us to hope that our lessons will be attended with all possible advantage to our pupils. Parents and Guardians who feel disposed to encourage this establishment will be informed of the terms by application to
A. Plunkett, Teacher of the French Language in William and Mary College. N. B. The tuition will commence on the 15th day of November next, and close on the 15th day of July following Williamsburg, October 26.
Ten Dollars Reward For Negro ALECK, purchased of Mr. Hubbard of this place, of a very dark complexion, has lost his upper fore teeth; had on when he went away a coarse check shirt and cassimere pantaloons, long coat and white hat; he was seen near Tappahosier's Ferry, York, where I suspect he is still lurking, or at Williamsburg where he has a wife. George Veale.
TURK'S-ISLAND SALT, FOR SALE, On board the Swedish schooner Gustav Adolph. Apply to Wilson & Cunningham. October 31.
NOTICE is hereby given, That two runaway slaves were committed to the jail of Northampton county in the month of August last past; the one named GEORGE, 5 feet 7 inches high, of a dark complexion and full face, formerly belonging to Mr. John Waddey of the county of Northampton; he says he belongs to a Mr. John Trowers of Richmond county in Virginia; but it is understood that he has made other representations concerning the person to whom he belongs, and it was supposed that he belonged to some person in North Carolina or to the Southward. His clothing is of country manufacture and altogether of cotton.
The other of the said two slaves is a woman named BETTY, passing for the wife of the said George, she is 4 feet 11 inches high, of a dark complexion, now far advanced in pregnancy, and presumably belonging to the same person with the said George; but she has always refused to make any disclosure concerning her master or his residence. She was almost destitute of clothing when committed to jail, so that no distinctive description can be given thereof, but has been since furnished with plain and warm clothing suitable to her condition. The owner is requested to come and prove his property, pay the lawful charges and take the said slaves away; otherwise they will be disposed of, as the law directs. John Snead, Father of Accomack County.

CONTINUATION OF Foreign Intelligence, From London Papers received at the Office of the Public Ledger, by the ship Union Island , Captain Sibson , in 32 days from Liverpool .
LONDON, September 20.
The Moniteur has published the treaties by which Charles the fourth and the prince of Asturias resign their rights to Bonaparte.—The concluding line of the treaty, "Done at Bayonne," proves to us how voluntarily this resignation was. We hope we need not use any arguments to our readers to convince them, that though Charles the fourth might abdicate his crown, he had no right to make over the people of Spain, as if they were cattle and beasts of the field, to a man not at all connected with him by blood, and not a Spaniard. King Charles stipulates for the integrity of his kingdom, and the maintenance of the Catholic religion in Spain; and having done this with a man who in his treatment of him has shown that he is utterly regardless of moral principle; he says, that he "has thus secured the prosperity, the integrity, and the independence of his subjects!"—And this treaty was signed three days after Bonaparte had been massacring the people of Madrid, to prove his regard for their prosperity and independence! In return for the cession of Spain and the Indies, Bonaparte generously gives Charles the castles of Compiegne and Chambord, with a revenue of thirty millions of reals.
The prince of Asturias is to have the palaces, parks, and farms of Navarre, and a revenue of one million of livres a year; and Bonaparte engages to grant to this distinguished member of the house of Bourbon, the title of royal highness, with all the honours and prerogatives which the princes of his blood (his blood!) enjoy.—The infants of Spain are to have the same honours and prerogatives of his blood, and an income of 400,000 livres each.
The port of Rogerswick is not fortified; but it is near Revel, from whence cannon can be easily conveyed—but long before any works sufficiently strong can have been erected, we trust we shall have been able to make an attack upon the fleet.—By the last accounts we are informed, that several fire-ships were preparing to be sent into the port.
The marquis de Romana arrived in town yesterday; he is attended by his aid-de-camp, col. O'Donnell. The marquis is very short in stature, but is an enlightened clever officer. O'Donnell is very tall, and of a commanding figure. They state, that not more than 4,500 of the Spaniards are left behind, who are for the most part in Zealand. Most of those who had escaped were put on board transports at Gottenburgh, and were to proceed north about to Spain. The remainder were waiting for transports, which were daily expected, and there is little doubt that the whole are by this time on their way to Spain. The marquis had not heard from Spain for three months previous to his escape with his army from Pombal, nor was he aware of the situation of his country, until he was made acquainted with it from England.
We understand that the two following resolutions have been agreed to by the Roman Catholic prelates assembled at present in Dublin—
"That it is the decided opinion of the Roman Catholic prelates of Ireland, assembled, that it is inexpedient to introduce any alteration in the canonical mode hitherto observed in the nomination of Irish Roman Catholic bishops, which mode, long experience has proved to be unexceptionable, wise, and salutary."
"That the Roman Catholic prelates pledge themselves to adhere to the rule by which they have been hitherto uniformly guided, namely, to recommend to his holiness, only such persons as are of unimpeachable loyalty and peaceable conduct."
September 24.
A Gottenburgh mail arrived yesterday. The Russian fleet appears to be placed between Seville and Charybdis. On the one side the combined English and Swedish squadrons, of whom they are so much afraid that they are throwing up batteries on shore, and entrenching themselves in every possible way; and on the other, the danger of a brisk north-west wind, which it is thought would nearly destroy them.
GOTTENBURGH, Sept. 10.—It is reported from Stockholm that negotiations were begun about delivering up the Russian fleet. The following are extracts of a letter from an officer on board the Victory , off Rogerswick:
"SEPT. 6, 1808.—The Russian fleet are dismantling in Rogerswick; they have made their position very strong by erecting batteries at Baltic Port and East Rage, but they are warped so close to the shore, that I think a gale of wind will go near to destroy them. We annoy and harass the enemy on all opportunities; and yesterday, on throwing shells, blew up a powder magazine with a great explosion. They are, I believe, very much alarmed and panic-struck, and I hope we shall be able to compel them to good terms."
"SEPT. 10.—Things remain nearly in the same state as when I last wrote. The Russians are moored as close as possible to the shore. I think the first N. W. gale must completely do them up.—They have their yards and topmasts struck, and have amazingly fortified both sides of the entrance of the harbour."
"A list of the ships in company; and I understand the Orion is on her way to join us:—"
" Victory , Centaur, Mars, Goliath, Implacable, Salverte, Ariel, Cruizer, Magnet, Fulus, Albuca, Rose, Thunderer, Swan and Baltic cutters."
Head-quarters, Gralsby, Sept. 7.
"His royal highness has received the following report from major-general baron Vegesack, dated Lappdend, 4th of the month:—"
"On the 29th, early in the morning, intelligence was received that the enemy had vigorously attacked and repulsed our advanced posts. Soon after the enemy made an attack on our position with two strong columns of seven to eight hundred men each, preceded by a numerous train of detachments of chasseurs. The whole corps was commanded by general Icohessele; his artillery consisted of four pieces of cannon, and the attack was led on by col. Anssan."
"The enemy's chasseurs commenced a violent, but ill-directed fire against the Finnish trailleur, by whom they were opposed with great vigour.—The chasseurs of Upland and Helsing formed a line parallel to that of the enemy."
"On our left flanks were the trailleurs of the regiments of Bjorneby, and capt. Gyttenborg, at the
head of our chain of chasseurs, made a most gallant attack upon the enemy, while one battalion of the regiment of Upland turned his right wing, and one battalion of Helsing his left. The rapidity with which the movement was performed compelled the enemy's advanced troops to fall back."
"Our troops followed with the utmost gallantry, and threw the Russians into such confusion, that although they made several attempts to rally, they could not succeed in regaining or maintaining a position, and were routed on all points."
"Night coming on, your majesty's troops lay on their arms in the field of battle, and the following morning we advanced as far as Omasse, when we found the enemy employed in an attempt to set the village on fire, and break down the bridge, which, however, he was prevented from carrying into effect, by a charge, made in the most masterly style by major Thede, at the head of a detachment of Nyland's dragons, and Helsing's chasseurs."
"Our loss in this action consists of 2 officers and 15 men killed, and 1 officer and 43 men wounded."
"We have taken 77 prisoners, among whom are two officers, and the enemy's loss in killed and wounded is far more considerable than ours."
"VEGESACK."
"Major general and chief of the division."
There is said to have been a dreadful riot at Lisbon, in which 600 of the French soldiers were stabbed by the Portuguese, in whose possession Lisbon is stated to have been at the time of the departure of the messenger.
A vessel from Oporto arrived at Bristol on Friday in twelve days, with two Portuguese messengers, who brought despatches to the Portuguese ambassador, the contents of which have not transpired.
It is rumored that the Portuguese general, Bernardo Ferreia, had refused to permit the convention to be carried into execution, and that when the messengers left Portugal, twelve days since, the first division of the French army were not embarked.
There was a report in town last night, that Sir S. Hood had blown up the magazine at Rogerswick, in consequence of which the Russian admiral had sent a flag of truce to Sir J. Saumarez, and it was expected that the whole Russian fleet would soon surrender.
The transports with the Spanish troops on board, from the Baltic, arrived on Friday in the Downs, and proceeded on for Portsmouth.
September 25.
It has been asserted by most of our contemporaries, that sir Arthur Wellesley has marched for Spain with eighteen thousand men. We long since observed that sir Arthur had left head-quarters on the 21th ult. and that on the 29th, the day the convention was signed, he was near thirty miles distant from the main body of our army. Sir Arthur, we believe, has under him, the division which originally sailed from Cork with him, together with general Spencer's division, the whole amounting to about 15,000 men. This command was given to him with the full approbation, perhaps at the wish of the other lieutenants general, who sympathize with him in the circumstances that crossed the career of his victories, and deprived the country of the fruits of them. We are not prepared to say that sir Arthur has advanced in Spain; nor do we think that government has received any authentic advices to that effect. Indeed there are those who assert that not only sir H. Dalrymple, but that generals Barrand and Wellesley have been recalled; nor is it at all improbable that sir Arthur may come home, on learning the impression made upon the government and the country, by the armistice and the convention; which impression was conveyed to our commanders in Portugal as soon as ministers came to the knowledge of the terms of the armistice.
The Danish government pays monthly 676,000 six dollars for the maintenance of the French and Spanish troops on its territory. This sum amounts to more than the annual revenue of his Danish majesty in times of peace and prosperity. The French remit large sums of specie to France, and thus drain the country of it. The French soldiers make a common practice of laying hold of every piece of plate, or other valuable article, which they observe in the possession of their Danish friends. The Danes often remark, that it is preferable to have Great Britain for an enemy than France for an ally. Provisions and fire-wood have risen above 100 per cent. in Zealand.
Sir Wm. Scott has taken his passage for Lisbon. This mission of a gentleman of his high character, of the truth of which there is no doubt, is an occurrence that will of course excite some comments.—The present situation of Lisbon renders it incredible that he should himself have selected that place from considerations of health; and the object of his errand must, therefore, unquestionably have relation to the recent arrangements in that quarter.
Notices were on Friday posted up in the principal brokers' offices in the city, that 25s. per ton would be given to charter transports for the use of government; and a tender of these terms was made in every direction on Thursday. The circumstance of this demand, and the rise of the terms, which were only 20s. per ton on Tuesday, seem naturally to induce the supposition, that ministers are about to send out another expedition, with the utmost speed.—But it is mentioned that the supply of transports required is meant only for the conveyance of the French force from Portugal. Ministers then are in a hurry to execute the "Convention."
Three English line of battle ships are stated to have landed 1800 troops at Rosas, a port in the Mediterranean near the south eastern frontier of Spain. Perhaps the most useful assistance which we can give our ally, would be a body of infantry sufficiently provided with heavy artillery, to undertake the siege of Figueras and Barcelona, in the south, and 6 or 8000 cavalry to enable them to act with greater effect against the French in the North.
It would seem from an article under the head of Gibraltar, that the second son of the king of Naples has landed in Spain. It is not easy to guess what can have brought this young gentleman to Spain at such a moment. It cannot be on a visit to his relations, for they are all in France; and if it is with the intention of making an offer of his hereditary virtues to the Spaniards, we are sure they are too generous and disinterested a nation to rob the Sicilians of what they can so ill spare. If he aspires at distinction, he need not come to Spain to seek it. A noble and much nearer field of glory lay open to him beyond the straits of Messina.—His young and ardent mind would have found a suitable occupation in reconquering his father's crown, and expelling an usurper from the throne of his ancestors. As he is come to Gibraltar, how-
ever, his preceptor will do well to advise him to keep within the English lines.
Six Spanish ships of war have arrived at Carthagena from Port Mahon.
The following article is neither sanctioned by the despatches of sir James Saumarez and sir S. Hood, published in the Gazette of last Tuesday, nor by any advices which have been subsequently received by government:
"A letter is said to have reached town from an officer in sir James Saumarez's squadron, stating, that on his junction with sir S. Hood at Baltic port, the detachments of the royal marines from the British squadron were landed on the island, at its entrance, where the Russians had taken post, and erected heavy batteries; that after a most severe action with the enemy (who were far superior in numbers) our brave fellows succeeded in dislodging them, a part of the Russians surrendering, and others escaped in boats to their ships. At the time the letter was sent off, our men were re-embarking on board their ships, which being elected, it was the gallant admiral's intention immediately to enter the port, and give the enemy battle. No doubt could be entertained. Our loss in this service is stated to be very great, as our marines had to sustain a tremendous fire of grape and musketry, before a landing could be effected."
Sir Hew Dalrymple.—The ability with which this officer conducted himself at Gibraltar, during the trying moment of the first burst of Spanish patriotism, the promptness with which he provided the necessary succors, and dispatched general Spencer to the aid of the Spaniards, naturally induced belief, that he possessed the resources of mind necessary for a general officer, and being almost upon the spot, was a fit and proper person to command the troops destined to act upon the coasts of Spain and Portugal. Like lord Hutchinson, he received his appointment, because on a trying occasion he manifested abilities equal to the duties of a commander.—Unhappily, however, he has disappointed the expectation that was so reasonably formed of him; but whether the following character given of him in the Tyne (Newcastle) Mercury , be correct or not, we leave to those who are better acquainted with him to determine:
"It is not many months (says the Tyne Mercury ) since sir Hew held the chief command in this district, and during that period his achievements were the common topic of conversation in every company, from the common pot-house to the fashionable tea-table. He did not seem to have the capacity of a common drill-sergeant, for when the troops were in confusion, he had not the address to rectify it, but candidly acknowledged that he was alone the author, and satisfied himself with declaring their "excellent state of discipline, and the correctness displayed in their different manoeuvres."
SPAIN.
As every circumstance relative to Spain is at the present period anxiously sought after, we have extracted the following from "A Review of the Characters of the Principal Nations of Europe," published upwards of 50 years ago, and which we presume will not be unacceptable to our readers, as it shows what Spain was under Ferdinand I.
"The country which first made a capital figure in Europe, and excited the principal attention of the other nations, was Spain, whose power, during a century, was formidable to all its neighbours. From the union of the house of Aragon to the house of Castile, and both with that of Asturia, in the person of Charles V. arose the most extensive empire in Europe since that of the Romans. The conclusion of the 14th, and the greater part of the 15th century, constitute the era of Spanish grandeur."
"The superiority that Spain assumed and maintained so long over the rest of Europe, began with Ferdinand, who was the greatest monarch of his time in christendom. To Philip II. by his mal-administration, may be fairly ascribed the ruin of the Spanish monarchy. He made himself master of Portugal, to which he had not the least shadow of right; his endless enterprizes proved fruitless in the most destructive degree; totally exhausted his treasury, ruined his fleets and armies, lost him those provinces which were the noblest portion of his inheritance, and finally left the remainder of the Spanish monarchy in a state of disorder from which it never was able to recover. The Spaniards, until the battle of Roray, which began their final downfall, continued the first nation in Europe. Their unshaken constancy in not desponding under the burden of universal enmity—their steady perseverance in maintaining their ground in every spot of their dominions, however distant from relief—their firmness and resolution in supporting their claims, and carrying on a fourscore years' war with the Dutch, or rather against all Europe—their conquests in America—their victories over the Turks—their reduction of Portugal—and above all, the respect and terror they impressed upon their foes, in the midst of so many difficulties, are facts that rendered the Spaniards of that era a people truly great and memorable."
"The true original Spaniards, as well as the Goths, who by intermarriages were engrafted upon that stock, were of old, what they who sprung from their blood remain to this day, a generation of men impatient of manual toil, where much ingenuity and application are requisite."
"Hence it is they form most excellent soldiers, and they were never subdued through want of courage, but only from a defect of union and good order among themselves. In those departments of war where a calm patient resolution is the principal requisite, no nation has ever surpassed them; their steady coolness in danger fitting them admirably for defence, and even on those occasions where the most lively exertion of valour has been necessary, have they proved successful."
"The Spaniards have at all times been firmly attached to their king, and proved good subjects from motives of subordination."
"If the Spaniards are partial to any nation, it is certainly towards the English; and it is a common saying among them, that provided they are at peace with England, it is no matter if they were at war with the rest of the world; and they have ever in their mercantile affairs shown great punctuality, which shews, that notwithstanding the hostility of the court, the hearts of the nation were with this country. The probity and generosity of the Spanish gentlemen, and persons of any figure in life, are proverbial everywhere. There are indisputably no men in whose honest integrity a greater degree of trust and confidence is more universally reposed.—Nor are the inferior classes wanting in those indi-
cations of a spirited turn of mind, that recall to memory the figure they once made, and would possibly still make, were an administration more correctly included and resolved to promote the existence of all the national qualifications that might be rendered of publick utility."
STATE PAPER.
From the Moniteur , of September 7. RESIGNATION OF THE CROWN OF SPAIN BY KING CHARLES IV. AND THE PRINCE OF ASTURIAS.
Napoleon Emperor of the French, King of Italy, and Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, and Charles the IV. King of Spain and the Indies, animated equally by a desire to put an end to the anarchy to which Spain is a prey, and to save that brave nation from the agitation of faction, and the convulsions of civil and foreign war, and place it in the sole position which in the extraordinary circumstances in which it is now found can maintain its integrity, guarantee its colonies, and enable it to unite all its means to those of France, to obtain a maritime peace; have resolved to combine all their efforts, and to regulate by a particular convention interests so dear to them, to this effect they have appointed, His Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, and Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, the General of Division Duroc, Grand Marshal of the Palace; His Majesty the King of Spain and the Indies, His Serene Highness Manuel Godoy Prince of the Peace, Count of Evora Montt, who after having exchanged their full powers, have agreed as follows:
ART. I. His majesty king Charles having during his whole life only had in view the happiness of his subjects, and constantly adhering to the principle, that all the acts of the sovereign ought solely to attend to that object; as the present circumstances can only be a source of dissensions the more fatal, because factions have divided his own family, has resolved to cede and does cede by these presents, to his majesty the emperor Napoleon, all his rights to the throne of Spain and the Indies, as the only means in the state at which things have arrived, which can re-establish order; it being always understood, that the said cession only takes place in order that his subjects may enjoy the two following conditions:
1. The integrity of the kingdom shall be maintained. 2. The prince whom his majesty the emperor Napoleon shall judge proper to be placed on the throne of Spain, shall be independent, and the rights of Spain shall undergo no alteration.
II. The catholic, apostolic and roman religion shall be the only one in Spain; no reformed religion shall be tolerated there, and still less indifference, according to the usage now established.
III. All acts contrary to those of our faithful subjects, since the revolution of Araujoz, are null and of no validity, and their property shall be restored to them.
IV. His majesty king Charles having thus secured the prosperity, the integrity, and the independence of his subjects, his majesty the emperor engages to give an asylum in his states to king Charles, to the queen, to the prince of peace, as also to those of their servants, who shall wish to follow them; who shall enjoy in France a rank equivalent to that which they possessed in Spain.
V. The Imperial palace of Compiegne, and the parks and forests dependent on it, shall be at the disposal of king Charles during his life.
VI. His majesty the emperor gives and guarantees to king Charles a civil list of 80,000,000 of reals, which his majesty the emperor will cause to be paid to him without delay every month, from the treasury of the crown.
At the death of king Charles a revenue of 2,000,000 shall form the dowry of the queen.
VII. His majesty the emperor Napoleon engages to grant to all the Infantes of Spain an annual rent of four hundred thousand livres, to be enjoyed by them and their descendants in perpetuity, saving the reversibility of the said rent from one branch to the other, in case of the extinction of one of them, according to the civil laws. In case of the extinction of all the branches, the said rents shall revert to the crown of France.
VIII. His majesty the emperor Napoleon shall make such an arrangement as he shall judge proper with the future king of Spain for the payment of the civil list, and the rents stipulated in the preceding articles; but his majesty king Charles IV. is understood to have no relation with respect to that object, except with the treasury of France.
IX. His majesty the emperor Napoleon gives in exchange to his majesty king Charles the castle of Chambord, with the parks, forests, and farms dependent on it to enjoy in full property, and to dispose of as shall seem to him good.
X. In consequence his majesty king Charles renounces in favor of the emperor Napoleon, all the alleged and particular property not appertaining to the crown of Spain, but possessed personally.
The Infantes of Spain shall continue to enjoy the revenues of the commendas they possess in Spain.
XI. The present convention shall be ratified, and the ratification exchanged within eight days, or sooner if possible.

THE PRINCE OF THE PEACE. His Majesty the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, and Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, and his Royal Highness the Prince of Asturias, having differences to regulate, have appointed for their Plenipotentiaries—his Majesty the Emperor of the French and king of Italy, the General of Division Duroc, Grand Marshal of the Palace; and his Royal Highness the Prince of Asturias, Don Juan d'Escoiquiz, Counsellor of State to his Catholic Majesty, and Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Charles III.; who, after having exchanged their full powers, have agreed to the following Articles:—
ART. I. His royal highness the prince of Asturias accedes to the cession made by the king Charles of his rights to the throne of Spain and the Indies, in favour of his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, and renounces as much as may be necessary to the rights accruing to him as prince of Asturias, to the crown of Spain and the Indies.
II. His majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy grants, in France, to his royal highness the prince of Asturias, the title of royal highness,

with all the honours and prerogatives which the princes of his blood enjoy. The descendants of his royal highness the prince of Asturias shall preserve the title of princes, that of most serene highness, and shall always hold the same rank as the princes dignitaries of the empire.
III. His majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy cedes and gives, by these presents, in full property, to his royal highness the prince of Asturias, and to his descendants, the palaces, and parks, and farms of Navarre, and the woods dependent on them, to the amount of 50,000 acres, the whole free from incumbrance, and to enjoy in full property, from the day of the date of the present treaty.
IV. The said property shall pass to the children of his royal highness the prince of Asturias; in default of them to the children and heirs of the infant Don Charles; in default of them to the descendants and heirs of the infant Don Francisco; and finally, in default of them, to the children and heirs of the infant Don Antonio. Letters patent and particular conferring the title of prince, shall be made out to him of those heirs to whom the said property shall revert.
V. His majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, grants to his royal highness the prince of Asturias, four hundred thousand livres of appanage rent on the treasury of France, and payable one twelfth part every month, to be enjoyed by himself and his descendants, and the direct descent of his royal highness the prince of Asturias; failing this, appanage rent shall pass to the infant Don Charles, his children and heirs; and they failing, to the infant Don Francisco, his descendants and heirs.
VI. Independently of what is stipulated in the preceding articles, his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, grants to his royal highness the prince of Asturias, a rent of six hundred thousand livres, in like manner on the treasury, to be enjoyed during life. The half of the said rent shall revert to the princess, his consort, if she survive him.
VII. His majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy grants and guarantees to the infants Don Antonio, uncle of his royal highness the prince of Asturias, and to Don Charles and Don Francisco, the brothers of the said prince.
1. The title of royal highness, with all the honours and prerogatives which the princes of his blood enjoy; the descendants of their royal highness shall preserve the title of prince, that of most serene highness, and shall always hold the same rank in France as the princes dignitaries of the empire.
2. The enjoyment of the revenues of all their commanderies in Spain during their lives.
3. An appanage rent of four hundred thousand livres, to be enjoyed by them and their heirs in perpetuity, it being always understood that the infants Don Antonio, Don Charles, and Don Francisco, dying without heirs, or their posterity becoming extinct, the said appanage rent shall appertain to his royal highness the prince of Asturias, or to his descendants and heirs, the whole, on condition that their royal highnesses Don Charles, Don Antonio, and Don Francisco, accede to the present treaty.
VIII. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged within eight days, or sooner if possible.

From Bell's Weekly Messenger of September 25. CONVENTION WITH JUNOT.
The publick attention is so indignantly fixed upon our disgraceful compact with the enemy in Portugal, that notwithstanding the length at which we considered this subject in our last, we are again compelled to recur to it. It is no pleasing question, but there is some satisfaction in the manner in which it has been taken up by the people. The keenness of their sensibility on this occasion, is a proof of national feeling, and the best test of our high sense of honour as a people, the bitterness of our shame upon this scandalous humiliation of our arms.
We pointed out in our last the prevalence of a rumour respecting the mediated breach of this convention. We observed that the attorney and solicitor-generals had no power to suspend it ex officio ; that it was not an obligation of municipal law, but a duty to which we had become bound by the law of nations, and by virtue of those powers which we had committed to our military officers.
With respect to all treaties and conventions with the enemy of a military nature, Sir Hew Dalrymple was a plenipotentiary agent. He had powers as full as he seems to have had the inclination to make a sacrifice of our national honour and our military pride. He was commissioned indeed for a different purpose; but the extent of his commission not being limited, it seems to have taken a warp from his mind and to have been blessed by his own individual feelings. He has undoubtedly abused his trust, but it is an abuse that does not involve any right to revoke his act. It is an abuse for which he is answerable to the extremity of legal punishment; but which does not entitle us to any drawback upon his stipulations for our redress, so far as these stipulations are of a military nature, and naturally flow from his commission.
Sir Hew has in truth bound us with bars of iron; he has rivetted our disgrace upon us. His convention, as far as it is a military act, is an unqualified and irremediable evil. It has all the precipitancy and absoluteness of an act of determined treachery or folly. There is no condition for a review or reconsideration. It is at once positive and plump disgrace. Had our army been besieged in a fort, and starving for want of provisions, more time would have been taken to deliberate.
But we must be careful to discriminate between the powers of a commander in chief and the powers of a political plenipotentiary. The former must of course follow the nature of their subject matter. They must consist in an exercise of military powers for military purposes. They must be pure, military acts; or such, as from necessity, are collateral and incidental to all military commissions.
The distinction is obvious enough. A commander in chief may make a truce with an enemy; but he cannot make a treaty. He may surrender a town, but he cannot by his own act dismember a kingdom, or give away a province. Touching his military command, he has the powers of a negotiator armed with full authority, and his act requires no ratification of his prince; but if he exceeds the bounds of his office, and steps into a new character; if he becomes a negotiator for civil purposes, and engrafts
political concessions upon a military convention, his act is liable to be revoked by those who have employed him. He has exceeded the bounds of his military commission, and what he has done (touching those acts alone) is a nullity.
The convention which Sir Hew Dalrymple has made with general Junot may be considered as of a mongrel kind. It consists of military stipulations and of civil stipulations; and the latter are of two sorts, one is such as may be presumed to be incidental to military treaties—as the guaranteeing of the private property and personal plunder of the soldier; the other is of a political nature, and is not incidental to any military convention whatever; we mean such military conventions as are negotiated by commanders who are responsible to a sovereign prince, and whose powers are limited to purposes strictly military.
There is an article in this convention which permits the French to dispose of their "immovable property" in Portugal; in other words, of their lands, estates, castles, houses, &c. To this article we object, as in no manner obligatory upon us; for, independent of its base injustice to our ally, Sir Hew Dalrymple had no power to make any such concessions.
The private property of the soldier might perhaps be conceded to him, though made up of the plunder of the helpless Portuguese, because it was of a personal nature, and could not but be small and trifling. It was a loose portable spoil, and the difficulty of deciding what was the soldier's own property, and what ought to be restored to the Portuguese, must have been so insurmountable, that a concession of this nature, though highly impolitic, and for ever to be lamented, may be presumed to have fallen within the powers of the British commanders.
But whoever heard of such a concession, as that a vagrant, invading army, should be guaranteed in a pretended right to sell the lands, the houses—aye, the towns and villages of Portugal? Was ever such a thing heard of! Where was their title?—They had none but what they derived from seizure or from the confiscatory edict of Napoleon. They had seized by virtue of the edict by which Napoleon had dethroned the prince of Portugal, the lands of the church and the demense of the crown—And could this seizure and confiscation give them a right to sell them as private property?—Could they be deemed to possess such a right as any release or acquittal of ours could work upon?—Could we give them a confirmation of what was not our own to confirm? Could we give them a right to sell what no one had a right to buy?
The landed property of a country is seldom extorted from its owners even when the country is conquered, and the enemy has obtained full possession of it. It is absurd therefore to concede to a retreating army that right which is seldom pretended to by the established authority of a conqueror. The loose spoil of war, the mere feathers of fortune, may be carried off in the knapsack; but the lands and houses, by the course of custom, as well as justice, remain to their original owners.
What title had Junot to the estates of Abrantes? None, but seizure.—Now it is obvious that no convention of ours could take away this property from its lawful owners, and therefore Sir Hew Dalrymple has not only in this concession exceeded his military powers, but has done what he could have no right to do, had his powers been ever so absolute and unlimited.
He has affected to consider Portugal not as an ally of Great-Britain, but as a conquered kingdom altogether; and has perved out her lands and towns as sops and donatives to an enemy of whom he was afraid.
In this article of the convention, therefore, Sir Hew Dalrymple has been overreached by the French negotiator; and we have a right to cancel it, not on account of the over-reaching, but on account of the invalidity of the stipulation. The bargain, as far as this stipulation reaches, is fraudulent and illegal, and must not be carried into execution.

THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 4. 1808.
In some of the Monroe Tickets which have been distributed, an error has been committed. The name of "Linah Mims" of Greenbrier, last but one on the list, is printed "Linah Miss." It is expected and requested that these tickets be carefully examined, and corrected, which can easily be done, by erasing the word "Miss" and writing "Mims." The ticket affords sufficient room for it. Particular attention is requested to this matter.
Major Jackson's Register of Saturday, informs, that Don SANTIANOS, has been appointed by the Spanish government, as Minister to the United States. North American.
Cobsett.—The administration papers are busy in giving extracts from Cobsett's Register for the singular purpose of promoting their cause. If these extracts (says the Monitor) do not make converts to the measures of our administration, I shall be much disappointed. Take the following:
"The reader will perceive, that the Americans can now choose to represent the hostile proclamation, not as an act of retaliation, but as an act of precaution. As if they were afraid, that we should send in our ships to burn their towns! Believe them who will; for my part, the contrary is evident to me; and so it, at first, was to them; for they, in all their newspapers, called it an act of retaliation. See the proclamation itself in page 249 of vol. XII, and say whether it be an act of mere precaution. It was the mildest measure they could adopt, Mr. Madison says; and I say it was the hardest, because they had it not in their power to injure or annoy us in any other way. It was the worst they could do. It was not a blow, for a blow they were unable to deal us; but it was spitting in our faces. It was too, a measure still in existence, at the same time when Mr. Ross arrived in America; and, therefore, to have offered reparation, until it was rescinded, would have been disgraceful to us in the highest degree. It would have been begging pardon with a cane suspended over our shoulders. It would have been going one step further than the late ministers, who entered upon a negotiation touching the right of search, while the Americans had a non-importation act passed for the avowed purpose of compelling us to give up that right, and kept suspended over our heads ready to be put in execution, in case we refused to accede to the terms proposed. "America is as much our enemy as she can be. Nothing can possibly make her more so. She would declare war, but she dare not. There is no fear of "throwing her into the arms of France." She is there already as much as she can be. Our ships of war keep the two dear friends asunder. What the revolution in Spain may do, by placing the countries, joining the United States, under the immediate control of France, I know not. If the Americans were not such miserable slaves to their enemy and hatred of England, this event would at once, produce an alliance offensive and defensive between us and them; but I am of opinion that it will produce no such effect, until severe suffering (which is in store for them) shall have taught them justice and modesty. The Floridas are inhabited by Spaniards; Louisians by Spaniards and Frenchmen; the key of the Mississippi is in their hands. Without the aid of England, it is impossible for the southern and western states of the American union to maintain themselves against France, if attacked by her; and to avoid being attacked there is but one way, that is, by doing what Napoleon shall command; in other words, yield to him without resistance.—What a fine field would, by this revolution in Spain, be opened for a grand co-operation of England and America, were it not for the leaders in the latter country! The way for them to proceed is so plain, that it needs not be pointed out. How natural, how glorious would such a co-operation be! But it is not for us to endeavour to hasten it. The first motions towards it must come from the other side; and they will not come till the people, the real people of America shall reuse themselves, trample under foot the slaves of France, and resolve to act for their own interests. This event can be of no great distance. They know what French armies are. They, personally, hate the French; and when once they have them in their neighbourhood, they will begin seriously to think of their means of defence. Drive them from the continent of North America they must; or they must themselves become subjects of France. There is no other alternative. They cannot drive them away without the aid of England—and the giving of that aid will naturally and necessarily lead to a connection, which may have a wonderful effect in the world. But, it cannot too often be repeated, that the first movements towards such a connection, must not be made by us."
As our hand is in, we will give one more extract from the same work, for the same purpose; that is, reader, in making converts to the administration.
"The way that the American states will get out of their embarrassments, with respect to us, will, I should think, be this: Mr. Thomas Jefferson and his party will be ousted, and the new president will disclaim all their hostile acts. Should this be the case, we shall go on harmoniously for the future; and I think that the Americans (especially if Napoleon succeed in Spain) will not be long before they join us against France. That this may be the case, I heartily wish; but I am sure it never will be, if we make the first movements towards it."
(N. Y. Ev. Post.)
Cobsett.—The wiseacres who conduct the administration papers, have lately amused their readers with some extracts from Cobsett's Register, which happened to please them. This led us to look a little into their favorite work, and from it we greet them with the following extract. Speaking of the affairs of Spain, in June last, soon after the revolution broke out, he says:
"If Napoleon were baffled in Spain, there is no telling to what it might lead. The ultimate consequence might be the deliverance of Europe. I mean the "real deliverance," and not a mere exchange of despotisms. The effect in America will be wonderful; though I should be greatly surprised, if, in the United States, the GOVERNMENT, the present reigning faction, were not decidedly hostile to the Spaniards; that faction being FRENCH in heart, and NOTHING BUT FRENCH."
There; all ye host of sycophantic editors, swallow and digest it as you can. (ib.)
Capt. Haley.—We are not a little surprised to find the following article in a London paper of the 22d ult.
"There is no truth in the report respecting Mr. Haley, the American messenger, which a certain morning paper, that generally betrays rather an overweening eagerness to depreciate the American government, thought proper to send into circulation a few days since. Mr. Haley, the messenger, is a man of intelligence and respectability, and quite a different person from him by whom the underwriters at Lloyd's were defrauded some years ago. The fact is, the man who committed that fraud, so far from being employed by the American government, durst not appear in America since the transaction alluded to; because by that transaction he cheated to a much greater extent in America than he did in England, for the greater proportion of the cargo, which through the alleged contrivance of Haley was captured by a French cruiser, belonged to American citizens, and was not insured."
Now be it known that the National Intelligencer has been forced to confess that Haley "the American messenger," is the identical Haley here spoken of as he who defrauded the underwriters at Lloyd's, and cheated the Americans. As to his not daring to appear in America, why not, when Mr. Jefferson openly professes him, nay, honours him with a publick appointment? Scandalous, infamous, as this is, it is nevertheless strictly true. And, under the rose, I have my suspicions that this man has returned again to this country, and came ashore from the Hope yesterday in disguise. (Ibid.)

Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatism Drops.
The Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, and the various disorders of the same nature, are so exquisitely painful, and so difficult to be cured, that they have justly excited the use of most stretch of medical investigation. Some professional gentlemen have excelled in one department of the sciences; others in another. Dr. Tissot particularly has long been renowned for the superiority of his prescriptions in chronic diseases, and the length of time which elapsed during his sole attention to the nature and effects and cure of these affections, render the medicines which he recommended of invaluable importance. The beneficial effects of these drops, have been so often experienced, and their extraordinary efficacy has been attested by witnesses so numerous and so unimpeachable, that it is now ready to be delivered at Petersburg and Richmond: A sufficient number of copies will be forwarded as speedily as possible to different parts of the country, and deposited at places convenient to subscribers, of which notice will be duly published. Gentlemen who have been so obliging as to take subscription papers, will confer a great favour on the Reporter, by transmitting them immediately to him at this place, or to Hopkins and Earle, booksellers at Philadelphia, as may be most convenient, in order that the books may be distributed accordingly. The second volume is in the press, and every exertion will be made to have it speedily ready for delivery. As the expenses and labour attendant on the publication, have been very great, the price to non-subscribers will be unavoidably raised. The moderate addition of fifty cents per volume will be required of them. David Robertson. Petersburg, October 21.
Certificate of General Ridgely of Hampton.
I certify that having received a blow on my knee, which induced severe pain and swelling, I was advised to apply to Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops, and on bathing the part with them only a few times, agreeably to the directions, they effected a perfect cure. Another time my wrist was affected with rheumatism to such a degree, as to render my hand for the time useless, when on application of the same remedy in like manner, the disorder in the course of twenty-four hours was entirely removed. I therefore, from the experience I have had of the efficacy of said medicine, consider it a beneficent act to recommend it in similar cases to others. (Signed) C. RIDGELY, of Hampton.
Certificate of John Gibson, Esq. one of the Directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland.
I certify that about a year since, my foot received an injury by a fall; in a few hours after it was affected with a most excruciating pain, so that I was unable to walk, with crutches. I was apprehensive that this accident would induce a severe fit of the gout, with which I had been frequently attacked. In this situation one of my friends highly recommended and earnestly advised me to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops; I immediately procured them and made the application; in less than three hours the pain entirely abated, which had been so severe, as to deprive me of sleep for several nights. By a few further applications, a perfect cure succeeded. I have frequently since in other cases, both used them myself, and recommended them to others with invariable success. (Signed) JOHN GIBSON.
Certificate of Mrs. Mary Taylor.
I, Mary Taylor, No. 135, Plumb Street, Philadelphia, aged upwards of seventy years, having been afflicted with very violent rheumatic pains for more than eight years, being recommended to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops, on only using half a bottle every rheumatic affection was completely removed, and I have continued free from all pain ever since; as witness my hand. MARY TAYLOR.

DR. ROBERTSON'S Celebrated Stomachick Elixir of Health.
Which has proved by experience, to be the most valuable medicine, ever yet offered to the publick for curing the Gout, Cramp, and wind in the stomach: also a certain cure for the Dysentery, or Bloody Flux, Cholera Morbus, severe Gripings, and all other diseases of the bowels, a dose never fails to remove a cold if taken soon after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, sickfeits at the stomach, severe head aches, &c. &c. The following certificates are selected from the many respectable ones lately received by the proprietor, and are now in his possession.
Certificate of Mr. William Julion, carpenter and builder, No. 69, South Fifth-Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—My wishes to promote the interest of superior merit, and to afford consolation to the afflicted, induces me to request you will lay my case before the publick, as an incontrovertible proof of the astonishing efficacy of Dr. Robertson's invaluable Stomachick Elixir of Health. I do hereby certify, that I was seized most violently with the dysentery, or bloody flux, which reduced me so much that I was confined to my bed, and became so weak that I could not move without assistance. My situation at that time became seriously alarming, as no relief could be obtained, I was given over, and even death would have been desirable to me, had not a friend of mine, who by chance called to see me, who had just recovered from a similar complaint, though not so severe as mine. He informed me that he was cured by taking Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and advised me to send to you for a bottle. I immediately did so, and by following your instructions given with the bottle, before I had taken half a bottle, I found myself much relieved, and my disorder greatly abated, and by continuing to take it, in one week I was able to walk out, and in less than a fortnight was able to attend to my business. I therefore recommend every family to be provided with this invaluable medicine, particularly those who live at a distance in the country, where assistance cannot be immediately obtained. As I am convinced that Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, is the most effectual remedy in the world, I have since recommended it to several of my friends in similar complaints, who have always been relieved immediately after taking it. Should any person with to be more fully convinced of my case, I will with pleasure explain it to them by applying to me. I am with a due sense of the benefit I have received thro' the efficacy of your medicine, Sir, your humble servant, WM. JULION. Mr. Dyott, Philadelphia, July 15th, 1807.
Certificate of Mr. George Stokes, South Water Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—For the benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you that Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, has been to me, one of the most essential service. I had been a long time afflicted with a pain in my stomach, and continual head-ache, attended with a sickness at the stomach, which brought on a vomiting and lax, which continued on me until I became in a very weak state, without being able to get any relief, until I tried one bottle of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which entirely cured my disorder, except a weakness and want of appetite, for which I have since taken Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Wine Bitters, which quite restored my strength and appetite, and I now enjoy better health than I experienced for many months before—As I consider your medicines to have been the means of saving my life, I solicit you to publish my case for the benefit of others, who by abiding by the directions given with your invaluable medicines, will embrace the same means by which I have happily effected my recovery. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE STOKES. Mr. Dyott, Philadelphia, August 1, 1807.
ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES.
Of Mr. John T. Solomon, Sixth near Race-Street, Philadelphia.
SIR—For the good of the publick and benefit of the afflicted, I think proper to inform you, that having laboured for upwards of six months, under a very bad cough, attended with a difficulty of breathing, pains in my breath and side, and a sickness at my stomach; having lost all appetite, I became so very much reduced in my strength as to be unable to walk. I was considered in a consumption, and given up for a lost man. In this hopeless situation I had recourse to Dr. Robertson's Stomachick Elixir of Health, and to my great astonishment, before I had taken one bottle, found myself very much relieved. I expectorated a great quantity of phlegm, which has eased me of one of the most violent coughs that ever man had; I have taken it regularly ever since, and now find myself completely recovered, and shall certainly, for the benefit received, recommend it as far as I can, believing it to be a most efficacious medicine in the above complaint. I am, Sir, with great respect, Your obliged humble servant, JOHN T. SOLOMON. Mr. T. W. Dyott. August 22.
Certificate of Mr. John Lee, Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR—By the administration of Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, and that the publick may be acquainted with the good effect I have received from it, I wish you to publish the following: About a fortnight ago I was seized with the influenza, or a violent cold attended with a pain in my limbs, and a violent cough, which settled on my lungs, and having been for some time before in a weakly state, I expected a consumption must soon have followed, had I not been advised to try Dr. Robertson's Elixir of Health, which has effectually removed my complaint, and I now feel better health than I have for some time before. It is impossible to say too much in favour of this invaluable medicine, as I am clearly convinced it is the most efficacious remedy ever offered to the publick, in the above complaint. I am, Sir, your obliged servant, JOHN LEE. Mr. Dyott. November 11.
The above Medicine is sold wholesale and retail by the proprietor, T. W. DYOTT, No. 11, North Second-Street, Philadelphia; and by appointment at BONSAL & CONRAD'S Book Store, Norfolk; and at SOMERVELL & CONRAD'S, Petersburg. May 23. lawly
