DIAL WEIGHING MACHINES.

hIARRIOTT having obtained his Majesty's
..1-1-• Royal Letters Patent, for an improvement in Weighing
Machines, begs leave to recommend them to the Public, as the
most perfect and useful article for that purpose ever constructed ;
for accuracy, simplicity, expedition, and portability, it stands
unrivalled, as it INSTAXTLT shews the exact weight of any article
from One Ounce to a Ton, without the use of Weights, thereby
saving time and labour. Being perfectly portable, it may be
used in any situation—its universal utility must therefore be un-
deniable for-Domestic purposes; in Shops, Warehouses, Coach
Offices, Market Houses, Barns; onWharfs; at Races and Fairs;
for Cattle, Cunt, Hay, Wool, &c. ; or for Loading heavy Arti-
cles, it may be attached to the chain of a crane, and shew the
Weight at the time of craning ; it may be also made with a chair
to weigh Persons. From its extreme simplicity, it is scarcely
possible to be inaccurate ; yet, if it ever should be so, there is
an adjusting Screw which will momentarily correct it.
H. Maamorr begs to Caution the Public against several Spu-
rious Imitations of his excellent and useful Invention, which are
attempted to be introduced ; none are on his genuine Patent
Principle that have not a label with his name over theKing'sArms.
H. Martittorr having made considerable improvements in hla
PATENT KITCHEN COOKING APPARATUS, feels a confidence in re-
commending it to the Public, as a most complete article for
Roasting, Baking, Boiling, and Steaming, with economy in fuel,
by one moderate size Fire, and with a constant supply of front
Twelve to Twenty Gallons of Hot Water; also Warns Closets
for airing Linen, keeping Dinner hot, heating Plates, Dishes,
&c.; the Cooking Utensils are never soiled, and it is a PORITIVZ
CURE for a Smokey Chimney. A new Patent Portable Cooking
Apparatus, embracing the foregoing advantages, well calculated
fur Ships, or situations where there Is no chimney, and vcu-
liarly advantageous for the Foreign Markets. _Kitchens fitted
up with Steam Apparatus, embracing all the late improvements;
baths, conservatories, balls, staircases, and buildings heated by
Steam, upon a principle of perfect security. Also, an Improved
Patent Spring Roasting Jack to obviate the necessity of weight
or pulleys. The whole may be seen daily in use at the Patentee's
Manufactory, London House, 89, Fleet-street, London; and.had

fection. Armour Manufactured, Bought, Sold, or Let on Hire.
Smokey Chimnies cured on philosophical principles.

rilliE PUBLIC ate earnestly warned against
JLnu-
merous Intvaasoss of DucTore SOLOMON'S Z.:OR DIA L
BALM OF G ILEA D, put forth by several unprincipled In-
dividuals to ensnare and deceive. The great reputation so long
enjoyed by that excellent -medicine for the cure of Nervous Com-
plaints, Declines, and Diseases induced by Excessive Indulgencies,
and the great demand for it, have tempted the worthless and un-
principled to this nefarious practice, by which many invalids have
been irreparably injured. These imitations' extend not only to
the Name of this medicine, but to the Advertisements, Wrap-
pers on the bottles, and every distinguishing in..tk. =CUT THAT
WHICH WOULD INVOLY6 Till LIFO OF THZ DEPILIOATOS, namely, the
worth " Samuel Solomon, Liverpool," engrained On the Govern-
ment Stamp affixed to each Bottle, to imitate which is felony,
and punishable as such. To-this distinguishing mark the public
attention is particularly directed, withuot• which no " CORDIAL
BALK" whatever has any claim to the merits of Dr. Solomon's
invention.
•64 The genuine medicine Is prepared at Giload-House, near
Liverpool, and sold by Mr. Johnston, Bookseller, N 0.68, Corn-
bill; Mr. Sanger (late Bacon and Co.) SO, Oxford Street, op-
posite New Dom] Street ' • Mr. Ward, Milburn ; and Mr. Strad-
ling, Royal Exchange, Londotr; in bottles at its. each, and fa-
mily bottles, containing the quantity of four small ones, for 335.

DR. JAMES'S POWDER
Is acknowl"dged to be the gteatest discovery in
Medicine during the last Century. In cases of Fever it will
often effect a cure in a few hours, especially when freely given
and at the outset of the disease. It is administered with equal
success in all attacks of Measles, St. Anthony's Fire, Sore Threat,
Pleurisy, and Ithepmatism ;-but as Colds and Catarrhs partake
more or less of inflammatory symptoms, this Powder is pecu-
liarly efficacious in cutting short their duration.; which however
harmless they may be thought, often terminate in Pulmonary
Affections, the fatal consequences of which are but too well
known. As an Alterative in Chronic Diseases, it is an ad-
mirable remedy.
Dr. James's Powder continues to be prepared by Messrs. New-
BillY' from the only Copy of the Process left by Dr. James
in his own hand-writing, which was deposited with their Grand-
father in 1746, when he became Joint Proprietor ; and is sold by
them, AT THE ORIGINAL WAREHOUSE, No. 45, in
St. Paul's Church-yard, and by their appointment by J. Sanger,
150, Oxford-street.
The Genuine have, as usual, the name, " F. Newbery," en-
graved in the Black Stamp.

AMERICAN NEUTRALITY.

FROM TUE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

At this moment the following official letter, de-
fining the duty of our revenue-officers in regard to
the European belligerents, will be read with great
interest :

' CIRCULAR TO THE COLLECTORS OF CUSTOMS.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, JULY 30, 1823.
SIR—As it is probable that in the progress of the
war which now exists between France and Spain, the
public and private armed vessels of one, and perhaps
of both belligerents, may, by stress of weather, pur-
suit of enemies, or some other urgent necessity, be
forced to enter the ports and harbours of the United
States, it becomes the duty of the Government to pre-
*sctibe the manner in which they shall be treated
whilst they remain within its jurisdiction.
As there exists upon this subject no legislative
enactment, the question must be decided by the con-
ventional engagements which the United States have
contracted with the belligerent parties.
By the Bth article of the treaty between the United
States and Spain, it is provided that the public and
private vessels of Spain, when forced by stress of
weather, pursuit of enemies, or any other urgent ne-
cessity, to seek shelter or harbour, may enter into any
of the rivers, bays, roads, or ports, belonging to the
United States, shall be received with all huma-
nity, and enjoy all favour, protection, and help, and
be permitted to refresh and provide themselves, at
reasonable rates, with provisions and all things need-
ful for the subsistence of their persons, or reparation
of their ships, and prosecution of their voyage; and
they shall be noways hindered from departing from the
said ports or roads, but may remove and depart when
and whither they please, without any let or hindrance.
With France, the United States have no treaty-sti•
pulations upon the subject. The obligations of neu-
trality, however, impose upon them the observance
of the
unless
course of conduct toward both bellige-
rents, ualess Spain ha; a right, by treaty, to exclusive
pi ivilegei. A reference to the provisions of the Bth
article of the treaty above recited, proves that no ex-
clusive privileges have been granted to her. It be-
comes, then, the duty of the LTnited States to treat
the public and private armed vessels of both parties
in the same manner.
Assuming the provisions of the article referred to,
as the rule by which the conduct of the United States
is to he regulated, 1 am instructed by the President
to direct..—
_ _

Ist. That the public and private armed vessels of France and
Spain, with their prizes, may, under the ch.cumstances de-
scribed in the said Article, enter the parts, harbours, and waters
of the United States, and repair any damages which they may
have sustained; but no increase of arms or munitions of war, or
of the number of men on board, can be lawfully made.
'dd. That such prizes cannot be condemned or sold within the
jurisdiction of the United States, and consequently cannot be
admitted to entry at the Custom-house, nor permitted to enter
ixta the general consumption.
3d. That they tinny at any time depart from the United States
without let or hindrance.
4th. That when prize-vessels have been wrecked, or so dis-
abled as not to be reialered seaworthy, their cargoes may be re-
shipped in any other sq:;..se: which shall nut enjoy an exemption
from capture, not enjoyed by such prise-vessels. For example,
