Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatick Drops. The Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, and the various disorders of the same nature, are so exhaustively and so effectually treated in Dr. Tissot's celebrated Drops, that they have justly excited the attention of the medical profession. 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 life, attention to the nature and effects of the several affections, rendered the medicines which he recommended, of invaluable importance. The beneficial effects of these drops, have been so often experienced, and their efficacy so clearly established, that it would be superfluous to enter into a detailed description of their virtues. Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatick Drops, large quantities have already been vendored, and the fact is now become so general, and their certainty in curing the disorders of a chronic nature is so completely ascertained, that certificates of their unbounded utility are now unnecessary. Testimonies of their value, and a volume of attested cases performed by them, may be seen upon application at T. W. DROTT's genuine Drug and Patent Medicine Warehouse, No. 57, South Second Street, Philadelphia.
The price of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatick Drops, is only two dollars per bottle, with copious directions. Generous allowances made to those who buy to sell again. Of the many respectable testimonies of the effect of the above Drops, which have been received by the proprietor, we beg leave to annex the following:
Certificate of General Ridgely of Hampton. Sertify 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 Rheumatick Drops, and on bathing the part with them only a few times, according 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.
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) 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 Rheumatick 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 used it 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, Plum 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 Rheumatick Drops, on only using half a bottle every rheumatic action was completely removed, and I have continued free from all pain ever since; as witness my hand. MARY TAYLOR

From the Virginia Gazette. To WILSON C. NICHOLAS, Esq. LETTER V.
Sir, Amongst your stigistical interrogatories and responses, relative to the treaty negotiated by Messrs. Monroe and Pinkney, we find the following: "Is our trade to the East and West-Indies, put upon a better footing than it stood before? It is not." This claim of right in us to trade to British colonies, has long been insisted on; and that the right has not been recognized by the British to all the extent our interest prompted us to expect, has been made a futile source of angry declamation against that country; as if, when they merely limited a grant, they had withheld a right. If we claim a right to trade to British colonies, why not likewise to Spanish, French, Portuguese and Dutch? Have we been freely admitted to these, and strictly excluded from the others? Against Spain, France, Portugal and Holland, I have never heard a complaint. How comes this? You know, sir, that they have always in peaceful times, rigidly excluded us from any communication with their colonies, whence then our claim submission to this exclusion, on the part of these nations, seeing that we resent an outrage on our rights, a partial exclusion from the colonies of Britain?
I shall be told that we were such good customers to Great Britain; took so many of her manufactures, that we had a right to every commercial freedom she could give. Did not she, in return, take from us four fifths of our spare productions? Did we take her manufactures, because we wished to favor her, or because we got them from her better, and cheaper, than the rest of the world could afford them? If we were influenced solely by the last mentioned cause, what, I pray, is the mighty favor done her? Do we tie ourselves under any obligation to her, for taking four fifths of our export produce? No, and for this plain reason, that if she could have procured them elsewhere, better, or cheaper, she would not have taken them from us. The truth is, each nation sought its own advantage in the exchange of its productions, and no disinterested favor was done, perhaps, or intended on either side. But we could have done without her manufactures: She could not do without our raw materials. Such has been the general opinion of our country for many years. In all our transactions with G. Britain, this nation seems ever to have been uppermost in our minds. We have always seemed to regard her as dependent on us, for the very means of existence. We are now acting upon this opinion, we have brought it to the test; what will be the issue, I pretend not to predict; but this I see and feel, that if Great Britain suffer by the experiment, more than we, sad, calamitous indeed must be her situation.
But to return to the colonies.—We have seen that the reciprocal commerce of the two nations must necessarily have flowed from their mutual wants and convenience, and not from any favor or advantage intended by the one to the other.—This being indisputably the case, can the greater gain of one of the parties, supposing this to be the case, give any right to the other to demand concessions? Suppose one to say to the other, "I exchange my goods, which I do not want, for your goods, which I do want, and which I get from you better and cheaper than they are to be got elsewhere, you must therefore make me some presents to secure my custom," would not this be justly thought a most unreasonable proposition?—Yet, wherein differs from this, our demand of liberty to trade to British colonies? Are not colonies, conquered or planted, and maintained at great expense, not only of treasure, but of blood? What myriads of men, and millions of money has G. Britain expended in planting, protecting, and conquering colonies. Exclusive of loss of men, she has expended more millions in defence of her colonies than these would sell for; and why such expense of blood and treasure?—Was it to promote her commerce, and, thereby give employment to her people? Certainly!—With what face then, can we demand a participation in this commerce, which she has so dearly bought? On what principle are we justified in our anger at the refusal to accede to such demand?—These colonies are her property bought, at a great price, and expensively maintained, for her own exclusive benefit; yet, will we tax her with unfriendly, with hostile, conduct towards us, because she will not throw open these colonies to our commerce, and suffer us to appropriate to our use, a great proportion of the advantages to be derived from them? To my mind, no demand can appear less founded on reason, or justice; and to me consequently, our complaints and accusations on this head, against G. Britain, are unfounded and unjust, and seem to proceed from a determination to make every thing an object of accusation against her.
But, in this respect, what has been the conduct of other nations? In their treaties of commerce have claims of trading to the colonies of the contracting parties been set up? On so, have such claims been admitted? No such claim, if made, has, I believe, ever been admitted. England, indeed, did once force Spain to permit her to carry a few slaves to her colonies in America. This, however, is no exception to the general rule; or rather, it is such an exception, as shows the force and generality of the principle of exclusion.
Notwithstanding the supposed, or real influence of Great Britain over the councils of Portugal, the absolute dependence of Portuguese settlements on British supplies, did the British, in any of their numerous commercial treaties with that country, ever obtain a right of trading directly with her colonies? Never. Portugal desired (as Britain and every other country must desire) to make her colonies as exclusively useful to herself as her situation would permit; and never dreamed, I daresay, that any nation would, on this account, accuse her of injustice, or tax her with the denial of a reasonable claim. In that treaty of "Commerce and navigation, between his British majesty and the most Christian King, signed at Versailles, the 26th of September, 1786," did either of the contracting parties grant permission to the other to trade to the colonies? No. By the first article of that treaty the reciprocity of commerce is confined to "the kingdoms, states, provinces and territories, subject to their majesties in Europe" and each is left in the full and exclusive enjoyment, as theretofore, of her colonial trade. What has been done, in this respect, by Russia and Great Britain? Russia, like us, sold to Great Britain, a vast quantity of the most necessary raw materials. Great Britain sold to Russia a still greater quantity of manufactured goods. The advantage was in this commerce, as much, perhaps, in favour of G. Britain, as in that she carried on with us; yet, if Russia ever demanded, did she obtain the liberty of trading with British colonies? Certainly she did not. She most probably never made the demand, either because she knew it must bear that burden, so heavy to a lofty spirit; the burden of obligation.
Have we any better right than Russia had to put in such a claim? If we have, I should like to see it clearly made out. This I suspect cannot be done. We have generally contented ourselves with asserting our right, and accusing Great Britain of a wrong. The subject is to us almost new. Indeed I am inclined to think, that it is one of those which we do not choose to discuss. It answers well enough as a subject of declamation and invective; but is too tender to endure the rudeness of strict investigation.
In the law ethics of nations with regard to each other, I know that any mode of gain is considered just; that it is regarded as justifying even injustice. Let us not however, give to things improper names. Let us not give that the name of right which we know to be wrong. Let us not pretend to demand what we in truth, solicit; or, when we would extort a concession, let us not say that we urge a claim.
But this will not be done. The spirit of hatred against England must be kept up.—Charge upon charge; accusation upon accusation must be heaped upon her. All her proper, as well as improper conduct towards us, must be turned against her. We must goad her to acts of resentment, and then cry out at her "hatred and jealousy." But can such conduct be just either as it respects her or ourselves? Can it be wise to be instrumental in stirring up against each other two nations which you, yourself are forced to acknowledge, are useful to each other? Can it be prudent, or wise, in the present awful state of the world, when one nation is like to swallow up all the others, to be bickering about diminutive rights with the only nation, in any degree able to stem the torrent of general subjugation, or to avert from mankind the cruel destiny of an universal despotism?
But you pretend to fear "a despotism on the ocean, that would drive us from it." If sir, by despotism on the ocean, you mean an unlimited power on the ocean, has not Great Britain possessed that power for almost twenty years; and yet we were not driven from it but voluntarily retired. However, what, during those twenty years, was the state of our navigation? Did you, Sir, when you talked of a despotism on the ocean driving us from it; did you think of that circumstance? If you thought of it, was it not sufficient to stop expression; or were you determined, in despite of the most stubborn facts; of the most glaring evidence against you, to give vent to that hatred of England with which you seem so completely overcharged! During those twenty years in which Great Britain has held the sceptre of the ocean with so steady a hand; during this time, when every effort to wrest this sceptre from her has uniformly resulted in strengthening the arms wherewith she held it, has not our navigation and commerce, increased and prospered by a degree never before experienced by any nation in so short a period? Our commercial marine is second only to that of Great Britain herself (if indeed it be second) and surpasses, perhaps, the united commercial natives of all the rest of Europe. Does not this circumstance completely refute the notion, that the nautical power of Great Britain is inconsistent with the security and prosperity of our navigation; or that it would drive us from the ocean? Let us see how exclusive your inference flows from promises that admit of no dispute; Great Britain has, for twenty years, possessed an unlimited maritime power; during these twenty years our navigation has grown, and flourished, and spread over every sea, Ergo, an unlimited British power on the ocean, would drive us from it.
Such, Sir, is a sample of the wretched stuff which, confiding in the prejudiced blindness of the people, is every day, and every hour presented for their gratification; and for the cruel purpose of nourishing that delusion which has divested a majority of them of the power of seeing, of feeling, or of judging, except through the tenebrous medium of leaders deceptions, or deceived.
I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. B.

Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated June 27.
"We are in hourly expectation of hearing of the surrender of genl. Dupont and his army, consisting of nearly 9,000 men, within three leagues of Cordova, and 250 miles from Cadiz. This is a division of French troops that were on their march to Seville when the revolution commenced, detached by the Duke of Berg from the grand army, consisting of about 70,000 men, in the vicinity of Madrid. There are now only 3,000 men in the vicinity of the metropolis; the residue of this large army were detached to take possession of different parts of the country, and were marching with the utmost confidence when the revolution commenced. Dupont must inevitably surrender, as he is hemmed in on all sides by an army much superior to his own, and without hope of relief. The French army that originally arrived in this country consisted of about 90,000 men, and were in possession of many principal towns. From the immense territory over which they are scattered, without being able to form a junction in season, and making good their retreat, and from the energy with which the Spaniards have acted, there is no doubt but the major part of this immense army will eventually fall into the hands of the Spaniards."

BOSTON, August 16.
TOWN MEETING IN BEVERLY.
At a full town meeting in Beverly on Saturday last, legally warned out and assembled to take into consideration the expediency of petitioning the president of the United States to remove the embargo. Thomas Stephens, esq. was chosen moderator; a respectable committee of nine was then chosen, of which the Hon. Nathan Dana, was chairman to draft a petition, and on motion the meeting adjourned to a suitable time, and on re-assembling, the committee reported the following petition, which after some pertinent remarks and observations, was unanimously accepted, and the selectmen directed to forward the same to the President of the United States.
To the President of the United States. The inhabitants of the town of Beverly, in legal town meeting assembled.
Respectfully Represent: That from a just sense of their obligations to obey the laws of the country, they have patiently borne their heavy losses and their severe sufferings, under the existing embargo—and from a like sense of their duty, they should, in silence continue to bear them, had there not been very considerable changes in relation to this measure since it was adopted, and even since Congress last adjourned.—An opening very advantageous to the United States, now appears for exporting their surplus productions, many of which, especially fish, in this and other towns must be nearly lost, if not soon conveyed to foreign markets.—Foreign articles also to a very great amount, imported totally for exportation, and not suited to home consumption, on which the duties have been paid, are on hand; in regard to which very heavy losses must be sustained, if permission be not allowed to export them. A like opening now appears for the useful employment, and advantageous sale of much of the surplus of American shipping. Rich and extensive countries have lately, and unexpectedly, fallen into situations to navigate the ocean with a considerable degree of safety, which, for many years, had been nearly excluded from it—during which exclusion their merchant ships were almost destroyed.—In the present obstructed state of several countries, from which so many essential articles in ship building have been usually had, those generally who may wish to increase their navigation, must find it for their interest to resort to the United States, where there is much more mercantile shipping, than can ordinarily be employed to advantage; and perhaps, federal America may not again for many years have so fair an opportunity as now presents, for obtaining her proper share in the commerce of the other parts of America.
The experience of several months has proved how impracticable it is to make an embargo operate equally for any considerable length of time, to prevent its being a source of profit to the fraudulent violators of the laws, whilst it grievously oppresses the fair and honest trader. And since the real dangers arising from the late unprecedented Orders and Decrees in Europe have been understood, there seems to have been solid ground for believing, that greater losses have been sustained upon that portion of American shipping, which has been embargoed at home, than upon that part, which has been at sea.
A vast loss of property occasioned by this embargo seems to be not the only evil attending it.—Moral and political evils, perhaps, of more serious consideration, must follow its long duration. In an active and enterprising country, where wealth is so much an object, and largely supplying others with provisions and raw materials, things of the first necessity, the strong and numerous temptations afforded by a general embargo, being continued, to evade particular laws, may soon be the foundation of the habit and system of the laws in general. The inhabitants of this town have been particularly distinguished for their industry and subjection to the laws; still the effects of idleness and poverty are seriously to be apprehended.—A measure, also, naturally tending to render a people weak and timid on that occasion which alone separates them from the great powers of the world; to make them abandon their best revenues and to neglect their seamen may
be ruinous in the end; especially in a country already too rich, not to invite aggression, and so situated as not to cultivate a military disposition in any great degree.
Your petitioners therefore pray—that the Embargo may be wholly, or in part, suspended, according to the powers vested in the President by the congress of the United States—And if any doubt exist of the competency of those powers, they humbly request, that congress may be convened as early as possible, for the purpose of taking this subject into consideration.
NEW-YORK, August 20.
LATE FROM GIBRALTAR.
By the ship Ocean, capt. Dodge, 42 days from Gibraltar, the editors of the New-York Gazette have received Gibraltar papers to the 3d of July.
In addition to the interesting details of the affairs relative to Spain (which we have given at length in this day's paper) the passengers in the Ocean inform, that an order from the supreme council at Seville had been issued, to liberate all American vessels that had been detained in the ports of Spain under Buonaparte's decrees—and that the ships Betsey and Howard, of this port, seized at Cadiz, under those decrees, had been released. That the English troops under the command of genl. Spencer commenced landing at Port St. Mary's, near Cadiz, on the 1st July. They confirm the accounts that Portugal had risen to repel the usurper—Oporto was in possession of the patriots; and an embargo had been laid in Portuguese ports. All the accounts are favourable to the Spanish patriots. Gen. Dupont is stated to be surrounded at Cordova by gen. Castano.
The Ocean sailed the 5th July. By the same arrival we learn, that Mr. Young, consul general at Madrid, who left that place about the 5th of May, with dispatches from Mr. Irving, for the American government, was stopped at a small port town, a short distance from Madrid, in consequence of an order from the supreme council at Seville, directing all persons with dispatches, to be stopped and sent to Seville. Mr. Y. was consequently sent to Seville, where he was lodged in prison, and all his papers, baggage, &c. taken from him.—This was done in consequence of finding among his dispatches, some from the Duke of Berg, to the French consul at Philadelphia, under blank cover to the secretary of state; in which were others destined for South America. After he was detained in prison for 15 days, a passport was granted him from the council to leave Spain, and to proceed for any port to embark for America. With this he left Seville and arrived safe at Gibraltar.—Directly after his arrival at that place, a letter was received from lord Collingwood, ordering Mr. Y. to be detained, or to be taken out of any vessel in which he might be found. This order was given by the request of the council of Seville. Sir R. Dalrymple, the governor of Gibraltar, did not, however, conceive himself authorised to enforce the order; but permitted Mr. Y. to proceed where he pleased. Mr. Y. however, was given to understand, that he would probably be taken out of any vessel in which he should take passage for America, by a Spanish gun-boat. In consequence of this information, Mr. Y. gave up the idea of going to America with his dispatches, although he had previously chartered the Ocean for that purpose, and immediately took his passage for England on board the Proviant store ship, which vessel sailed on the same day with the Ocean.

CADIZ, June 14.
Last night, it was notified to the French squadron, that a new battery of thirty 36 pounders, and eight 24 pounders, was ready to open upon it, within half a cannon shot, in case it should not surrender. This morning at 7, no answer having been returned, the signal for general action was made on board the Prince; upon which the French surrendered at 8. The officers wanted to fight to the last; but the crews revolted against them, and compelled them to strike. The general of our squadron immediately repaired, in his barge, on board the French admiral's ship, and returned to his own with the French general. The many vessels which were in readiness, either to give assistance in case of shipwreck, or to remove the crews, in case they surrendered, went along side the ships of the line, and in the course of the day, the latter were manned by our sailors, all the French having previously been removed. The seamen have been conducted to the four towers in the Carraca, the marines to Puntales, and the officers on board a ship in the bay, which has been fitted out for that purpose, and is called Ponton.
Official note of the French admiral to the captain general of Cadiz, at the time of the surrender.
Sir—I am compelled by the offensive means which you have combined against me, to surrender the ships, without making any further resistance, because I see it is the common interest of both nations, that they should not be destroyed.
Although your excellency had not promised me security both for the persons and properties of my crews, I place too much reliance upon Spanish honour, and upon your excellency's generosity, to be in the least uneasy upon that head.
I wish your excellency may, at first, send but few people to remove the crews, ship after ship, in succession, to prevent the confusion which often takes place upon such occasions.
According to the customs of war, I beg you will enable me, or cause me to be enabled, to dispatch an officer to his majesty the emperor, for the purpose of informing him of these occurrences.
I am, Sir, with the highest consideration, of your excellency, the most humble servant.
ROSILLY.
On board the Hero, admiral's ship, in the bay of Cadiz, June 14, 1808.
SEVILLE, June 18.
We learn by several official papers, that the Grand Duke of Berg has, at the request of the Board of Government at Madrid, suspended the march of the French troops to the provinces which have proclaimed Ferdinand VII.
D. Manuel Barnuevo, lieutenant of the Pavia dragoons, who left Madrid on the 8th inst. and joined our army on the 15th, has communicated the following particulars.
The French garrison in Madrid does not amount to 8,000 men. The Duke of Berg continued in the Monclova, whence he intended to remove to the Retiro, as soon as it should be fortified. Money's
division, consisting of 4 or 5000 men, had marched out of Madrid, making enquiries respecting the roads which lead to several provinces, so that its destination is not known. The division formerly quartered in the Escurial, which had proceeded against Segovia, and was 6,000 strong, was beaten by the Segovians, on the 8th, with a loss of 3,000 men.
One morning a party of volunteers of Spain who were in Madrid, having given their halt of corn to their horses, the serjeant ordered the saddle and saddle bags to be put on, and the party to form on the Barley square. He next mustered them, to mount, draw their swords, and sound a march through Toledo-Port-street. The French guard at the gate, immediately fell in, and paid them the military honours. The serjeant returned the usual salute, and the party deserted, nor have they been heard of since.
Of the letters by the last Bayonne mail which reached Madrid previous to the above mentioned officer's departure, Murat had not allowed a single one to be delivered without excepting even those which were directed to individuals of his own army.
A French courier from Manzanares to Madrid, had been intercepted at Madrilejos.
At Manzanares, there were three hundred Frenchmen, who having set out upon their march to Dupont's army, were attacked, in Val de penes, by the inhabitants. After an action which lasted two hours and in which they lost 150 men, and destroyed almost all the houses, they withdrew to Manzanares where they have since been captured.
The Puerto del Rey is guarded by about 3,000 men, and 2 pieces of ordnance are conducting to that point.
PROCLAMATION.
Ferdinand VII. King of Spain and the Indies and in his name, the Supreme Board of Government of both Empires.
The defence of our King and country, and happiness of the nation, have been, are, and shall ever be the only aim of this Supreme Board; for attaining which, it has used its utmost endeavours, and is unremittingly exerting itself, without minding either trouble or danger. In order therefore, to provide at once for the one and the other, it enacts, and orders as follows:
I. That the enlisting, which is to take place agreeably to a former proclamation, shall include all male individuals from 16 to 45 years of age; but shall be divided into three classes, the first of volunteers; the 2d, of bachelors, and married men or widowers without children; and the 3d of married men and widowers with children, and of the individuals who have gone into four lower orders, or necessary attendants in churches.
II. That the volunteers shall immediately begin to move, and march wherever they may be ordered by this supreme board, or by their respective boards or town councils, in compliance with the dispositions of this supreme board; that, upon their reaching the place of their destination, they shall be incorporated into the Old Regiments, or formed into separate ones, by order of the respective military commanders who are to bear this disposition in mind; and that these volunteers, either incorporated, or formed into new corps, shall act, in every respect, like the old corps.
III. That, upon the second call, the second class shall come forward, namely, the bachelors, and married men or widowers without children; and that, when at the place of their destination they shall either be incorporated into the old regiments, or formed into separate ones, after which, they shall be held, and shall, and in every respect, act like the old corps.
IV. That, upon the third call, which is to take place only in case of such extreme necessity, as shall require us all to sacrifice ourselves for the defence of the country, the third class shall come forward, namely, the married men or widowers with children, those who have gone into the four lesser orders, and such servants of Churches as are not indispensably wanted for the publick worship; and that, upon arriving at the place of their destination, they shall be incorporated, or formed into new corps and shall act like old ones, as is above ordered for the 1st and 2d classes.
V. That the volunteers of 1st class cannot plead any exception; that such as shall be pleaded by individuals of the 2d or 3d class, shall be heard, and briefly and summarily decided upon by the respective boards or town councils, and in this capital by the supreme board, without any judiciary forms or costs; and that, when ever they shall have declared that the exception is not to be admitted, their decision shall be unavoidably received by every individual reserving the rights of appealing to this supreme board which shall pass its decisions according to impartial justice; it being understood, that such complaints should be preferred only in serious cases, and obvious exceptions, and never for frivolous or imaginary ones, the defence of the country which is in danger, so requiring.
VI. That, as nothing ought to prevent the full display of men's zeal for the defence of their country, any one that has received the four lesser orders, or any individual of any class whatever, or any man upwards of 45 years old, that may choose to enlist as a volunteer, shall by all means be admitted, and come forward upon the first call, or join those who have presented themselves in compliance with the same.
VII. This supreme board cannot lose sight of the gathering of the harvest, so absolutely requisite for the maintenance and happiness of the people, particularly as God has been pleased this year, to bless us with a most abundant crop; and therefore, orders all the individuals of the 2d and 3d classes, to exert themselves, personally and to their utmost, in getting it in, without pleading either rank or fortune, or any other reason, as an exemption, such as are upwards of 45 years old, being thus included. Those who shall comply with this disposition, shall be held and declared to have deserved well of their country; and this supreme board expects, from the generosity which characterises all Spaniards, that, instead of availing themselves of the distress of the country to raise their daily wages to an extravagant rate, they will display, upon this subject, the heroic moderation which the country and public happiness require.
VIII. In many parts of the kingdom the women used to cut down the corn, and to perform several other works in the fields; and, in all, most of them can follow that example; this supreme board, consequently, advises and orders them to do it under the circumstances in which we are placed; and it
will consider and proclaim such exertions on the part of those who comply, as a most essential service done to the country. All the members of the secular and regular clergy can employ themselves in the same manner, thus evincing their love for their king, their loyalty, and the lively interest they take in the public welfare; and their heroic example will lay the people, and the individuals of every class, under the necessity of imitating them.
IX. Such women as are prevented, by their advanced years, a weak constitution, or other motives, from rendering themselves useful in the above manner, shall employ themselves in making lint, and bandages, or other things for the service of hospitals, and, when made, shall deliver them to their respective boards or town councils. The latter shall send them, with all possible speed, to the superintendents of our armies in this capital; draw up returns of the individuals who shall have done those services, and others which have been called for; and forward them to this supreme board, which shall afterwards print and publish them, that it may come to the knowledge of all, and that every one may receive the tribute of praise and reward, to which his love for his country shall have entitled him.
X. We are going to fight for the defence of our country and religion, and by our actions we are to manifest, that we are indeed Spaniards and Christians. This board, therefore, directs the armies, the inhabitants of towns, and individuals of all classes to reform their manners, to lead a regular life, and, by the practice of every virtue and continual prayer, to endeavor to appease the just wrath of the Almighty. But, above all, they charge and entreat them, for the sake of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to avoid all animosities and dissensions; and that, rising above self-interest, they closely unite, and wholly devote themselves to the defence of the king; by which means, this supreme board hopes, and indeed is convinced, that God will forgive us and treat us with mercy, and that we shall succeed in preserving our Religion, King and Country, the ruin of which our enemies aim at and would complete, if they should conquer; a misfortune which this supreme board neither does nor can fear.

ORDER OF THE DAY.
June 22.
Soldiers! The light troops of our van, have given a proof of their intrepid patriotism. They reached Cordova by forced marches, and, at that very moment, it became necessary to dislodge the enemy from several points. The commandant of the van, considering, that the troops must be tried after such exertions in this hot weather, desired 50 men per battalion, from among those who should find themselves less exhausted, and better able to endure fatigue, to come out of the ranks, of their own accord; when they all, without exception, contended which should go first; and the superior officers were to form the detachment!
Soldiers! This gallant conduct ought to excite your emulation; and I who see the martial spirit with which you long to come within sight of the enemy, flatter myself, that you will vie with your worthy companions in this patriotic heroism. You shall soon see, and conquer the enemy. (Signed) CASTANOS.

PROCLAMATION.
Don Joseph, by the Grace of God, of Spain, Majorca, Minorca, Gibraltar, of the continent of America, the islands, &c. &c. king, &c. &c.
To the vice-roys, captain general, governors, corregidores, and to all other officers, civil and military, of whatever denomination: and to all the inhabitants of the Spanish dominions in the West and East-Indies, maketh known, that,
By virtue of the treaties of the 5th and 10th of May last, by which king Charles IV. and the princes of his house have formally relinquished all right and title to the crown of Spain, and all the dominions belonging to it, in favour of my dear and august brother, Napoleon the first, emperor of the French, king of Italy, &c. who hath been graciously pleased to confer the same upon me, on the 4th of the present month, my wishes and my ambition have been to come to Spain, to take upon me the government of the country—to devote myself to the happiness and interest of the people whom Providence has committed to my charge—and to carry into effect the regulations which shall be made by the Junta of the representatives and notables of the kingdom; which Junta is assembled at Bayonne, and will be again called together at that place on the 15th instant, in order to take into consideration the means of establishing a just and permanent government, and of placing Spain, with all her exclusive dominions, on a better footing, by securing her independence, and raising her in that rank in the scale of nations which formerly distinguished her, and which her inhabitants are still worthy to possess.
To accomplish this object I have accepted the crown. I hasten to make this declaration of my paternal solicitude for your happiness, and to assure you that it shall be exerted equally for the good of the remotest parts of my dominions.—Confiding in my royal word, you shall continue to enjoy all your privileges as good citizens. Prosecute your ordinary avocations in peace. Be obedient to your superiors, and guard against the machinations of those who set the laws at defiance. Justice must be administered impartially, and I strictly enjoin all judges and magistrates to comply with my pleasure in this subject. Look up to me as your protector: I shall ever have your interest at heart, and will double my endeavours to defend you from the attack which the implacable enemies of Spain meditate against you.
I enjoin all archbishops, bishops, and ministers of religion, which I pledge myself to maintain inviolate, to use their influence among the people to make them obedient to the laws, and to guard them against the dangerous consequences of sedition and treason.

I repeat my declaration, that my government shall be founded on justice, and my sole object be the accomplishment of your happiness. All governors, judges, &c. are commanded to give the utmost publicity to this proclamation.
I, THE KING. Given at Bayonne, June 11, 1808. By order of the king our most gracious sovereign, M. Jos. DAZANLA.
LONDON, July 4. There is a report in the city of an insurrection in Paris.
HIS MAJESTY'S SPEECH.
Parliament was this afternoon prorogued with the following most gracious speech from the throne, by commission:
My Lords and Gentlemen, "We have it in command from his majesty to express to you the great satisfaction which he derives from being enabled, by putting an end to the present session of parliament, to terminate the laborious attendance which the publick business has required of you.
"The measure which you have adopted for the improvement of the military force of the country, promises to lay the foundation of a system of internal defence eminently useful and peculiarly adapted to the exigencies of these times.
"The sanction which you have given to those measures of defensive retaliation to which the violent attacks of the enemy upon the commerce and resources of this kingdom, compelled his majesty to resort, has been highly satisfactory to his majesty.
"His majesty doubts not that, in the result, the enemy will be convinced of the impolicy of persevering in the system which retorts upon himself, in so much greater proportion, those evils which he endeavours to inflict upon this country.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons.
"We are commanded by his majesty to return his most hearty acknowledgments for the cheerfulness and liberality with which the necessary supplies for the current year have been provided.
"His majesty directs us to assure you that he participates in the satisfaction with which you must have contemplated the flourishing situation of the revenue and credit of the country, notwithstanding the continued pressure of the war: and he congratulates you upon having been enabled to provide for the exigencies of the publick service, with so small an addition to the publick burdens.
"His majesty commands us to thank you for having enabled him to make good his engagements with his allies; and to express to you the particular gratification which he has derived from the manner in which you have provided for the establishment of his sister, her royal highness the Duchess of Brunswick.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
"His majesty has great satisfaction in informing you, that notwithstanding the formidable confederacy, united against his ally the king of Sweden, that sovereign perseveres, with unabated vigour and constancy, to maintain the honour and independence of his crown, and that no effort has been wanting on the part of his majesty to support him in the arduous contest in which he is engaged.
"The recent transactions in Spain and Italy have exhibited new and striking proofs of the unbounded and unprincipled ambition which actuates the common enemy of every established and independent nation in the world.
"His majesty's views with the liveliest interest the loyal and determined spirit manifested by the Spanish nation, in resisting the violence and perfidy with which their dearest rights have been assailed.
"The Spanish nation thus nobly struggling against the tyranny and usurpation of France can no longer be considered as the enemy of Great Britain, but is recognized by his majesty as a natural friend and ally.
"We are commanded to inform you, that his majesty has received communications from several of the provinces of Spain soliciting the aid of his majesty. The answer of his majesty to these communications has been received in Spain with every demonstration of those sentiments of confidence and affection which are congenial to the feelings and true interest of both nations: and his majesty commands us to assure you, that he will continue to make every exertion in his power for the support of the Spanish cause; guided in the choice and in the direction of his exertions by the wishes of those in whose behalf they are employed.
"In contributing to the success of this great and glorious cause, his majesty has no other object than that of preserving unimpaired the power and independence of the Spanish monarchy. But he trusts that the same efforts which are directed to that great object may, under the blessings of Divine Providence, lead in their effects and by their example, to the restoration of the liberties and peace of Europe."
LONDON, July 2. —We stopped the press three times yesterday, to detail the important intelligence from Spain, as it was successively received at our office. The accounts brought by the Puz and the Peacock, the one from Ferrol and the other from Gijon, were given in the whole of our impression. The arrival of Lieut. Talbot, of the Encounter gunbrig, and the intelligence which he brought, could only appear in the latter part of the impression of any paper. It was about 3 o'clock when Lieut. Talbot reached the admiralty, with dispatches from admiral Purvis and Lieut. gen. Spencer, and at a late hour in the evening the following Bulletin, which we now republish (it having only appeared in part of our impression) was sent to the lord Mayor, and posted upon the front of the Mansion-house:
Downing Street, July 1. "My Lord—I have the honor to acquaint your lordship, that dispatches have been received from major gen. Spencer, dated off Cadiz, the 6th last, by which it appears that a negotiation has been entered into between his majesty's naval and military commanders off that port, with deputies appointed on the part of the provisional government of the province of Andalusia, assembled at Seville, the result of which has been forwarded for the approbation of the said government.
"Every arrangement had been taken for the reduction of the French ships, and ad. Purvis had been invited by the commander to anchor his fleet at the mouth of the harbor, with a view to co-operate in compelling the common enemy in that port to surrender.
"It appears that the southern Provinces of Spain had declared against France, and dispatches for the
24th June last, received from Lieut. gen. Sir H. Darlymple, at Gibraltar, mention that the Spanish army, before that fortress, reinforced by the greater part of the garrison of Ceuta, had marched against the French.
I am &c. "Right Hon. Lord Mayor." "CASTLEREAGH."
It thus appears that the official dispatches from off Cadiz came down the 6th last, but the private letters, from one of which, written by an officer of the fleet, the following is an extract, are of a day later:
Off Cadiz, June 7. —The Spanish Admiral has been on board Sir John Gore, to solicit the aid of the squadron to secure the French ships who were moored above them in the harbor.
"Four of ours were going in, and pilots were ordered for the rest. The batteries had opened on the French when the officer left."
The accounts from Sir Charles Cotton, off Lisbon, are of the 12th ult. at which date it was expected that the French would be almost immediately dispossessed of Lisbon, if not extirpated. The ferment was so great some time ago, that Junot found it necessary to surround the few Spanish troops (1500 in number) there and sent them afloat in the river—he disarmed them by a manœuvre, and then put them on board hulks in the Tagus—Subsequently, however, he is said to have been dangerously wounded in an insurrection, and overpowered.
July 5. A Gottenburg mail arrived this morning, with letters and papers to the 28th. Sir John Moore has not returned from Stockholm, but he was hourly expected, relays of horses having been provided for his use. We hope that this is the last time we shall have to repeat that the expedition still remained in Gottenburg roads. Orders were received for the officers to repair immediately on board their respective ships; and altho' their destination was not known, it was understood that it was finally settled. Private letters state, that Sir John Moore was engaged at Stockholm in a negotiation with the Russian court, in concert with the king of Sweden, in which event, if he has succeeded, the expedition will return home, as it is to be presumed that Denmark would be comprehended in the treaty. This, indeed, would be a most happy result, particularly at a moment when Spain stands in need of all the assistance we can afford. The report of a negotiation between Russia and this country is so strongly credited in the city, as to produce a considerable depreciation in all articles of Russian produce. Hemp fell yesterday no less than 10l. a ton, and tallow and linseed oil in proportion.
July 5. We have received letters and papers from Holland, to the 2d instant. It is said that Buonaparte has declared war against Austria. This is mentioned as a report, in a letter from Rotterdam, of the 1st, which adds, that the two last posts from France had not brought any letters from either Portugal or Spain—a circumstance from which it was inferred, that the patriots in both those countries had succeeded in cutting off all communication with France. Buonaparte was glad to save himself from the disgrace of failure in an attempt to invade England by marching his army against Prussia. He would, no doubt, be glad of a pretence to attack Austria, if he found the subjection of Spain impracticable. The accounts from Bordeaux inform us, that the Spanish patriots had stopped a large quantity of cotton that was conveyed to France and burnt it to ashes. From Charante, Coniac and other places, it is stated, that a forced levy of all the young men capable of bearing arms had taken place, who, with the whole of the troops in that part of France, had been marched off to the frontiers of Spain.
A report prevailed yesterday in the city, that an insurrection had broken out in Paris. We mentioned it in our second edition, but had not then time to ascertain its source.—We have since learned that it rests upon the authority of the Guernsey Gazette, of the 25th of June, which states, "That the letters from the coast of France assert that an insurrection had broken out of a most formidable nature; all the operations of which had been concealed, till 35,000 men had been completely armed and organized; that the signal for assembling was the cry—'Au feu! au feu! au feu!' that in the province of Languedoc and Roussillon also, from 35 to 40,000 men were in arms, who had joined the Spanish Patriots in Catalonia; that the general cry of the united arms was, Peace with England, and war with Buonaparte; that the whole Pyrenean frontier was in full insurrection; and that Talleyrand was supposed to be the grand mover of the revolt."
Should that extraordinary good fortune, on which Buonaparte so confidently relied, once turn, his difficulties will be increased in proportion to the advantages which he now enjoys, and his fall will be as rapid as his rise; but we fear that crisis is not yet arrived that would justify us to credit the description of the state of France given in the Guernsey Gazette.
PEACE WITH SPAIN.
July 6. The Gazette of last night contains the following important proclamation:
At the Court at Queen's Palace, the 4th of July, 1808. Present, the King's most excellent Majesty in Council.
His majesty having taken into consideration the glorious exertions of the Spanish nation for the deliverance of their country from the tyranny and usurpation of France, and the assurances which his majesty has received, from several of the provinces of Spain, of their friendly disposition towards this kingdom; his majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of his privy council to order, and it is hereby ordered;
First—That all hostilities against Spain on the part of his majesty, shall immediately cease. Secondly—That the blockade of all the ports of Spain, except such as may be still in the possession or under the control of France, shall forthwith be raised. Thirdly—That all ships and vessels belonging to Spain shall have free admission into the ports of his majesty's dominions as before the present hostilities. Fourthly—That all ships and vessels belonging to Spain which shall be met at sea by his majesty's ships and cruizers, shall be treated in the same manner as the ships of other states in amity with his majesty, and shall be suffered to carry on any
trade now considered by his majesty to be lawfully carried on by neutral ships.
Fifthly—That all vessels and goods belonging to persons residing in the Spanish colonies, which shall be detained by any of his majesty's cruizers, after the date hereof, shall be brought into port, and shall be carefully preserved in safe custody, to await his majesty's further pleasure, until it shall be known whether the said colonies or any of them, in which the owners of such ships and goods reside, shall have made common cause with Spain against the power of France.
And the right hon. the Lords Commissioners of his majesty's treasury, his majesty's principal secretaries of state, the lords commissioners of the admiralty, the judges of the courts of vice admiralty, are to take such measures herein as to them may respectively appertain.
STEPHEN COTFRELL.
The Hindostan store ship is arrived at Plymouth from off Lisbon, but she brings no news. The following are the only articles of intelligence which we have seen on the subject of Spain, in addition to those already before the publick:
Extract of a letter from an officer on board his majesty's ship Phoenix:
Finisterre Bay, June 21. "I take the liberty of acquainting you where we are, the ship is quite healthy; plenty of fresh meat, and fruit in abundance, supplied by the Spaniards about this place. We were at anchor a few days ago at Muros Roads; I went on shore with the captain and his interpreter; the people were overjoyed to see us; men, women and children, up to their knees in water, crying out "Long live the English and Ferdinand VII." They have all red cockades in their hats, with this motto—"Conquer or die for Ferdinand VII." They offered to supply the ship with whatever was wanted. After the return of the messenger, who was sent away with the captain's letter, offering any assistance within the power of the two frigates off Cape Finisterre; they yesterday sent out a Gazete, offering us any thing we wanted. Of course, all thoughts of war are now laid aside. The coasters pass and re-pass without molestation."
Extract of a letter from Oporto, dated June 7. "The Portuguese colours are again hoisted at the fort and the port declared open to ships of all nations, except the French."
"An invitation was sent off to the commander of an English sloop of war, inviting him to come in, but which invitation he declined; however a salute of 21 guns was fired by the castle, and returned by the sloop with an equal number. The French officers are all taken prisoners, without bloodshed."
"N. B. Colonel Brown, with a young Portuguese as an interpreter, was sent off on Friday night to Oporto."
Letters of the 3d inst. have been received from Holland. The Moniteur is said to contain a Senatus Consultum, by which the National Guards are called out to supply the place of the troops of the line withdrawn from the different departments. It is said that, at least 160,000 men are on their march to join the troops which Buonaparte had already collected on the Spanish frontiers.
Government this day received intelligence from France via Guernsey. It is understood to relate to the report of an insurrection which we noticed yesterday.
The Algerines are understood from good authority to be fitting out cruizers against the Americans. The cessation of hostilities between the garrison of Gibraltar and the Spanish lines was in consequence of the arrival in the former place of Don Esteller, the secretary to the new government at Seville. He reached the fortress on the 1st ult. and on the proposal he brought being acceded to, the Spanish troops in the neighbourhood immediately commenced their march for Ronda, with an army of 50,000 men.
The Swedish minister has received dispatches, which we understand announce further successes in Finland, and some political circumstances favourable to his country.
It is known that Junot has withdrawn his troops to the fortresses of St. Julien and of the Bouges, which command the entrance of the Tagus: and in which, if he has provisions, he may hold out for some months; while at the same time, he blocks the entrance of the Tagus against our fleet. It is meant, however, by government, to attempt in the first instance, the recovery of Lisbon, and the reduction of the force under Junot, who appears to be cut off from all assistance on the side of Madrid, or of France.
It is said that Louis Buonaparte has been offered the crown of Naples in lieu of that of Holland, but has declined the exchange.
A morning paper states, that government have received intelligence, by express, from Ireland, announcing that the expedition had sailed from Cork.
BAYONNE JUNTA, CREATED BY NAPOLEON.
From the French Papers.
PARIS, June 21.
The following official documents, concerning the Spanish Junta, have been published:—
GENERAL JUNTA—FIRST SITTING.
"This day, in full council, the following royal order and decree were read, addressed to the Dean of the Council:
"High and Worthy Sir—By the following decree, which has been presented to the supreme justice of the government, by his imperial and royal highness the grand duke of Berg, lieutenant general of the kingdom, his majesty the emperor of the French, &c. has deemed it good to proclaim his serene brother, Joseph Napoleon, now king of Naples and Sicily, king of Spain and the Indies. I, by the command of his highness, and subsequent resolution of the junta, do present it to your worship, in order that the same may, without delay, be put into execution and executed."
"The council will see in this resolution of his imperial majesty, the wisdom of his foresight, and the most obvious proof of his beneficent intentions towards the Spanish nation."
"To proclaim him king is to say what is expected from his paternal cares; and to place his illustrious brother on the throne of Spain is to unite forever the interest and glory of France with the interest and glory of Spain."
"His imperial highness, together with the junta, who so well know that among the qualities which equally occasioned the election of this sovereign, his love of justice and beneficence are to be
enumerated, and their hope that all those benefits which he has in his proclamation promised will soon take effect, together with all those offices which his majesty has doubtless reserved to himself, to announce to his people when he appears in his metropolis."
In the palace, 14th June. (Signed) SEBASTIANO DE PINUELA. "To the Dean of the council."
The foregoing documents having been read, his excellency M. d'Azana, President of the Junta, delivered the following speech:
"GENTLEMEN—It is a most pleasing and honorable task to contribute to the felicity of one's country, and to labor for the welfare of the present race, and of posterity. Such is the fact, the great object which unites us in this venerable assembly, called together by the command, and under the eye of the hero of our age, the invincible Napoleon, emperor of the French and king of Italy. Thanks and immortal fame to the extraordinary man who gives us again a country which we had lost! Since many centuries we have been altogether removed from the government, which has been entrusted at one time to arabs, who had no other object than that with dexterity to oppress the poor, & another time to weak sovereigns, without character, who, devoting themselves to their pleasures, abandoned the government to their favorites. See! It is thus that the Spanish nation has been sinking from the summit of its glory, to which it had raised itself in the 15th and 16th centuries, to the abyss in which it was plunged, when the last of our kings resigned the right of government to a prince, who, for our misfortune, unites in himself all the qualities required to give life to the nation, in the critical state in which it was reduced to him."
"The first use which he made of his new power was to arm it to his brother Joseph. Napoleon, a just and benevolent Prince who, raised before the throne of Naples had already proved, undoubtably, that his government was paternal and had another object than the welfare of those who were happy enough to live under his laws. He has received that in this place where he resides, and even in his presence, the deputies of the principal towns, and the other authorities of our country, should assemble in order to confer on the constitution which we have lived, and to confirm the consideration which our restoration himself will present to us, in order that it may be the inviolable rule of our government:—Divide the able and glorious for which we are assembled here. It is therefore necessary that we should apply our whole attention, and laying aside all party spirit, and all prejudices of province, & classes and ranks, devote all our energies to the common weal of Spain. No one can now have an interest distinct from that of his country. The members of the same family must alike enjoy the common benefit, and alike contribute to the respective charge of supporting the common splendor. In the eyes of the law, they who are less favored by fortune lose none of the respect they merit, nor of their right to be protected. Let every one of us, as far as himself is concerned, sacrifice the benefit we exclusively enjoy, and of which many are imaginary. Let us offer them upon the altar of our country, in order to raise a simple and great monument in the place of the corrupted and tattering structure of our former government. Let us examine it well, and we shall find that it is the constitution which best fits the whole of our country, upon which our attention must be fixed, and by no means on what alone is to the advantage of particular classes."
"United here, gentlemen, each of us apart may do much to appease the ferment and disorder which disquiet various towns of the kingdom. Our remonstrances may make them perceive the measure to which they are plunged by the seduction of selfish men, and warnings may force out of their hands weapons which can alone injure themselves. What do these men imagine? Do they think that they can restore the princes of the old dynasty to the throne? What means have they to contend against a power which the greatest empires have not been able to resist? The union of some is reason to an greater height, that in order to fix their election upon the house of Austria, they have determined that the Archduke Charles shall be king of Spain. Ah! What can the house of Austria do for us? Can they rely upon such distant support, and upon such slow aid?"
"Nevertheless they act without plan, discord, or object. What must be the result? The ruin and desolation of the country. As to ourselves, we are convinced of the truth, but it is necessary to proclaim it to those who are in error. It is thus that our labours may be of service, and that we may execute the noble purposes of the hero who has called us together. If we do not lose sight of the enlightened principles which I have slightly mentioned, there is no doubt that Spain will enjoy her former splendour, and it will be joyful then to think that we have contributed to it."
After having heard the address of M. d'Azana, the junta resolved that they would, in a body, testify their allegiance and homage to his majesty the king of Spain, and present a suitable address to him, the address on which should take place in the present sitting— MONTEZOS, June 22.

DR. ROBERTSON'S
Celebrated Stomachick Elixir of Health. Which has proved of experience, to be the most valuable medicine, ever 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 taken from after its first appearance. It is also celebrated for carrying off superfluous bile, removing habitual costiveness, pickets 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 Julian, carpenter and builder, No. 60, 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 to 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 have been defied 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 from 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 me 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 effectual service. I have been a long time afflicted with a pain in my stomach, and continual head aches, attended with a sickness at the stomach, which brought on a vomiting and flux, 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 medicine 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 medicine, 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 Rate-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, pain in my breast 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 confined 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 expected rather 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 will 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 an excellent medicine 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
