snDea,ed extremely doubtful. Ills conplalnts

,;v;r his distressing cough was Immediately
,ljeyiated, andeyory OTTER symptom perfectly

1comply with your request in stating my
o,;nion Of Hanilton's Elixir. It has been US
eG IN nv family fer Two CT three years past.
With uniform success, whenever coughs,colds,
or similar complaints have rendered medi-
cine necessary. I have myself found It an eX-
cellent and agreeable remedy for a very pom
fuI and troublesome affection OF the breast, &C.
companied With soreness, and with Distracted
and difficult breathing.
On these accounts / do not hesitate to re-
co,nmend Harnilton's Elixir as a valuable me-
,l;c;ne. and deserving public attention.

FOR the serious consideration at eveyy hue
american.
While we have received injuries vet un-
atoned, and which are Just causes Of war,
from both England and France--and while
1t is uncertain whether these rations will
give US honorable satisfaction, or add snsult
to lnJurles-is it not impoli,ic and base, TO
say to Them and to the world, that we will
rot, even in the last resort, go to war in dc.
fence of our violated rights?
While the claws of the lion are fastened
upon us, and he evidently seeks us for his
prey, is it not the extreme Of folly, baseness
and cowardice, to talk of his Justice and
magnanlmity. and to seek his protection?
1t we have been. and still are able Ia con.
tend with the British lion, who. in his ma
val power, fires on the wings Of
| the wind and bears the thunder Of the TEN.
pests it not unwise to gorge his rapacity
and contribute to his strength, from !; fear
that his power will be subdued, or transfer

1t would be difficult in the present seaeS
Of the world, to point out the s~tupenooas
consequences Of the maxim IN question DC
imp recognised. It would instantly, as ls
we're. change the face ofthings. The Brl-
fish navy would be serviceable only in max
imp b~lockades, and e~ncounterrag the ships
of war of the other belligerents. The trade
OF France and Holland would revive, and
be securely conducted through the inter-
yention Of us, the only neutral nation. We
should be compelled into the prosecution OF
an extensive carrying trade for all the world,
multiplying our foreign connections, ard
divertlng too great a portion OF the indus
try Of our country into a channel not the
most eligible or conducive to the tranquil
ty and prosperity Of the nation, when over
strained.
Whatever .Schlagel, Martens and other
9 Dutch schoolmasters' as Sir James Mar
riott contemporary designates them
whatever these modern writer's, who en-
ploy their party pens as advocates, rather
than as impartial expositors oflaw and rea-
son, may say to the contrary, enemies pro-
perry is liable to capture wherever found,
except within a neutral jurisdiction, and
neither public nor private vessels partake OF
this character. Merchant vessels may be
examined for the purpose ofseizing 1t, and
though ships of war Of the state may not,
they are exempt from search only upel the
presumption, that their sovereign would not
so far dishonor his service as TO permit ms
ships to be the hiding places for belligerent
property.
We feel persuaded that our administra-
ton never will prefer a claim to the maxim,
under examination, as a matter of right,
and hat they are too sagacious to expect It
70 be Welded as favor.
