TO H. LEE.

Some time last spring was afflicted with
loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, teyer'
and great debility, SO that | could scarcely
walk. III TINS distressing situation took
many things, but without benefit. An &C.
ouaintance in the country sent to me to pro-.
cure box of Hamilton's Lozcnges. Curlosi-
~ prompted me to read the directions, where
/ fonnd my complaint exactly described by
the doctor. Immediately sent for another
box of the Lozeages, and took one dose,
which brought away large quantity of
worms. and felt greatly relieved. Encou-
raced by this, took another DOSE which
was attended with the happiest effects, as 1t
believed me entirely, aud am ROW N better
state OK health than for a considerable time
mast. have since given them to my chill
sren, and can speak from experience, that
shey are most valuable medicine, aud ana
happy to add my testimony to namberless

(Received at the Office of the Ameri-
can.
Mr. Lee, Of Gloucester place, arr;.
we'd yesterday at the Foreign Office
from Spain and Portugal. He was
the bearer of dispatches for Govern
ment from Mr. I'rere, whom he left at
Talavera on the 9Th inst. and proceed
ed to ENGLAND, via Lisbon, watch he
left the 18th. Mr. L came from Lis
bon in tn. Undaunted frigate, landed
at Weymouth on Wednesday and yes
terday arrived at his house in G'ouces-
ter place. He left Madrid on the Cd
INST when the inhabitants and peasan-
try from the adjacent country had ri
sen TO defend the capital. Mr. Lee
was. we believe, the last subject who
left Madrid previously to the surren-
der ofthe placeto the French armv.-
He soon after joined the British min.
lister and the Supreme Janta, and ac-
companied them on their journey for
two days. He then took charge of
Mr. Lees dispatches for Cow rnment,
and afterwards of dispatches from the
commander of the British troops in
Portugal and from the admiral Of the
British squadron in the Tagus. BY
this gen5letnap's account it appears
that when the Somosierra y as forced
the Central Junta were under the ne
ce5sity OF quitting Aranjut z, as the
place became exposed by that event TO
the incursionsof the enemy's cavalry !;
that they intended to retire in IN first
Instance TO Truxile, and from thence,
ifnecessarY, To badajoz, as place OF
security. Several IN. mbers oil the Iun.
"a went into the. provinces to insplrit
and embody the people, and we are
rejoiced to hear that the events at Ma.
drid had by no means disheartened on
discouraged the Patriots. A report
prevailed AT Talayera OIL The 9th, TIA,
the SPsniards haa recovered the Rel
20 on the 9Th, aud that fresh body OF
troops had entered the town; but aftyr
tue agcouats which we Yesterday pun
iished, il is scarce NECESSARY Tor Us to
observe, that thiareport must have been
unfopnded.
We are haPpE, however, 90 find that
certain advices of "a favorable nature
had been received from Catalonia.--
1t appears, that the Spaniiards had
made successful attack upon the EN-
envy, of whom they mad 500 prison
ers, and possessed themselves OF tg0|
heights in the neigbborhood
Of Barcelona, by which the enem,
we { reduced to great distress.
In iha midst # the disasters which
spain has been compelled to endure,
it IS with no considerable share of sat
lsiaction that we perceive the spirit of
the country remains unbroken. The
.yrant, IT is true, has penetrated a.
Madrid, but the means Of long re
sistapee are still in possession of The
Spanish nation. In the various en-.
yagements which have taken place be-
.ween the SPaniards & the French, the
former, it must be admitted, have
since the arrival Of Bonaparte, sustain
