AN ADDRESS.

.•
WHBNEVER the Proprtetor of Dr. NORRIS's
DROPS solicits the attention of the Public, 'it is
with a pleasingconfidence, inspired by the knowledge that
this celebrated I'Vledicine is too universally tamed for its un-
equalled virtues as a Specific in Fevers ot every description,
Colds; and all Disorders arising- from obstructed Perspira-
tion, to permit such an Address to appear intrusive ; for to
possess ability to save a Fellow.cfeaturo's life, and use dt
not,- is, to be deficient in duty to God and Society. The np.:-
.nrrous testimonies of gratitude for health 'restored, when all
other means haVe failed, best prove its title to the universal
estimation it has obtained. That motives of gain should have
deprived numbers of experiencing the unrivalled Efficacy of
these Drops by the introdudion of a deleterious•Counterleit,
is 'to be lamented ; but the favour of Government has per-
mitted an efredual guard against this base fraud, by the name
of "Thomas Norris Moore" engraved on. the Stamp round
each Broille: as the 'Stamp Duty now equally extends to Ex_
portatitort, it is hoped Druggists and Venders will att;:nd to
this. indisputable mark of their being genuine, as alt possible
means have, and will be taken, to expose such a dangerous
imposition in the West. India Islands, where • they are highly
valued as a sovereign Remedy in the most matiguant at Pu-

Captain Lydiard, of Ilia Majesty's Ship the Sti,
son, arrived here this morning .with Dispatches from
Dacres, COmmander in Chief of His
Majesty's Ships and Vessels at Jamaica, to William:
IVlarsden, Esq. of which the following are Copies :
Shark, Port Royal, Jan. 11,.1807.
I have much satisfaEtion in congratulating my
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty on the Cap-
ture of the Island 'of Curaeoa, 'on Nevi:Year's Day
in the morning, by the four FrigateoVarned in the
margin *, under the orders of Captain:Btisbane, of
the Aretlmsa ; a Copy of whose Letter I inclose for
their Lordship's information. .•' • • -
Whilst I contemplate the immense strength of the
Harbour of Amsterdam,
.and the stiperiorloreV con- 1
tamed in its different Batteries- opposed 'to the en-
trance of the Frigates,- I know not how sufficiently
to admire the decision of Captain
.Brisbane in at-
tempting .the Harbour, and the Iletermined bravery
and condu& displayed by himself, the other three
Captains, .and all the Officers and. Medunder.bis
CoMmand, and is another strong instance of the
cool and determined bravery of British Seamen.
Captain Brisbane being, from: his situation, obliged
to act as Governor, I have, as an acknowledgment
and high approbation of his condu&, continued .him
in that situation till His Majesty's pleasure shall be
known ; and request, in the strongest manner, that
their Lordships will be pleased to recommend him
for that Appointment.
Captain Lydiard (who will have the honour of
delivering this, and who fully partook of the Con-
quest, and has before distinguished himself off the
Havannah) I beg to refer their Lordships. to for any
information ; shall put an Aaing Captain into the
Anson until his return, or I receive direaions there-
on. I am, &c: • • •

(Signed) J. R. DACRES
His Majesty's -Skip Arethusa,
SIR, Curacoa, Jan. 1,1807.
It is with the most lively and heartfelt satisfaaion
I have the honour to inform you, that His Majesty's
Squadron under my Command has this day opened
the New Year with what I humbly flatter myself
will be deemed an Enterprize of considerable conse-
quence to my Country.
I proceeded in the execution of your. Orders the
29th of November with every possible avidity,. but
the adverse Wind and Current prevented me from
reaching thislsland before the Ist Insfant.. In my
way up I met Captain Bolton, of the Fisgard, going
to Jamaica; I took him under my Oiders, according
to your direaions, and proceeded with the Squadron
off this Port, having previously resolved on that sys-
tem of Attack which British Seamen are so capable
of exeCuting. My arrangements having been pre-
viously made known to the respective Captains, I
was-satisfied nothing further remained for me than
to put it in execution. My Line of Battle consisted
of the Arethusa, Latona, Anson, "and Fisgard ; and
very.s-ri after tha, break_ ofllay I made all possible
sail with the Ships. in close Order of isintie, ireibsitv6-
the whole extensive Line of Sea Batteries, and an-
chored the Squadron in a style far surpassing my ex-
pektation. - Being still desirous of having the effu-
sion of human blood spared, I" writ the inclosed,
No. 1, on the Capstan of His Majesty's Ship Are-
liaise, during the Action, which was not regarded,
as they did their utmost to destroy us. Words
c'nnot express the ability of the Squadron. The
Harbour was defended by regular Fortifications of
two tier of guns ; Fort Amsterdam alone consisting
of sixty-six pieces of cannon ; the entrance only fifty
yards wick, athwart which was the. Dutch Frigate
Hastlar, of thirty-six guns, and Surinam of twenty-
two, with two large Schooners of War, one com-
manded .by a Dutch Commander; a chain of Forts
Was on Miselburgh commanding -height; and that
almost impregnable Fortress, Fort Republique, with-
in. the distance of grape-shot enfilading the whole
Harbour.

At a quartet. past six o'clock we entered the Port;
a severe and destruaive cannonade ensued ; the Fri-

gate, Sloop, and Schooners-were carried by board"-
ing ; the lower Forts, the Citadel and,Town of Am-
sterdam, by storm ; all of which,,by seven o'clock,
were m cur possession. For humanity sake I
.granted the annexed Capitulation ; and,. at ten
o'clock, the British Flag was hoisted in Fort Repub-
lique :—the whole Island is in our quiet possession.
The strength, commerce, and vine, 1 understated, is
immense. It is now become a
.pleasing part of my
duty, although impossible, to do justice to the me-
rits, gallantry, and,determination of Captains Wood,
Lydiard, and Bolton, who so nobly headed their re-
speaive Ship's Companies to the storm ; and the
aiIIIC gallantry and determiugion are .due to the

Officers, Seamen, and Marines for following up so
glorious au example. Inclosed is a list of the kiiled
and wounded in His 'Majesty's Squadron. I. have
not yet been able to ascertain that of the Enemy,
except those in the Ships. The Dutch Commodore

was killed early in the A&ion, and the Captain of
the Surinam severely wounded. I have appointed,
by Proclamation, Wednesday next the 7th inst, for
the Inhabitants (which amount to Thirty Thou-
sand) to take the Oath of Allegiance to our most

~racious Soirereicrn • those that Jo not choose will
.0

be instantly embarked as Prisoners of NV=. For any
farther particulars I must beg to referyou to that
gallant Of Captain Lydiard.

I have the honour to be,
