Prevention better than Chle

For the Prevention and Cure OF Bilious ana
AAaHguant Fepers, is recommended
HAHN'S ANTI-BILLIOUS
PILLS,
Inyented (onty) by H. LEE, SO A4a'0e"
Lane, Ae.u Yor6.
-HIS Medicine ha. for ten years past
bcen attended with degree of success
highly sreatful to the invenor's 1eehngs' n
several parts of the~West Indies, ana inc
southern of the United States, particularly IN
Baltimore. Petersburg, Richmond, NORFOLK
Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and oavaai-
nah. The testimony of number OF persons
in each of the above placeshas been auddcea'
who have reason to elievs that timely use
ofthis salutary remedy has, under PROVIDENCE
preserved their lives when in the most alarm
ing circumstances.
Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more
in favor of medicine than columns OF pomP-
Gus culogy founded on mere assertion couia
be.
It's not indeed presumptuously proposed
as an infalIible cure, but the Inventor mas
every possible reason that can result from
extensive experience, of believing that dose
of these pills, taken once every two weeks
during the prevalence Of our bilious fevers,
will prove an infallible preventative; and
further, that in the earlier stages OF those
diseases, their use will very generally succeed
in restoring health, and frequently In cases
esteemed desperate, and beyond the power OF
common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly
mild-so as to be used with safety by persons
IN every situation, and Of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry of
superHuous bile, and to prevent its morbid
secretions; to restore and amend the appetite,
produce free pcrspiration, and thereby pre-
vent colds, which are often of fatal con.e-
ouencc.! a dose never fails to remove cold,
if taken ON its first appearance. They are
celebrated for removing habitual costive-
ness; sickness at the stomach and severe
head ache and oughtto be taken by allpersons
on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efhcaci-
Gus in preventing and curing disorders a:ten-
dant on long voyages, and should be procured
and carefully preserved for use by every
seaman

LOUDCUN.
From the .t'o,Jok Ledger.

= Our readers have before them, the re-
su!t of some of the secret proceedings OF
the last congress. which the National H.
tglljssncer says, have been ttaCherOuS!y
dicMgea. \ most singular circumstance
is communicated. which we hope will de-
liver VS. from any more eNecrations a
gainst Copenhagen doings. We will state
the eases fairly Great Britain was at
war with Frame. war in which nothing
short Of DISCRIMINATING GreatEritain as a
nation, would satisfy the emperor Of
France, Abundant evidence has been
furnished, shat he employed any means
that were likely 10 accomplish his object,
Great Britain believed that he intended
to seize the feet of Denmark, then at Co.
penhagen, and TO employ ii against her,
whether with the eennivance OF Denmark
OF not. she did not know, but she deter
ahmed to take that feet into possession,
and restore it when the danger should be
over: and provided she could not induce
Denmark to surrender it peacefully, she
resolved 10 employ force. Mr.. jackson,
commonly called Copenhagen jackson,
was sent to prevail On Denmark to give
up the feet, which was refused, ami force
was emp'.i, cd.
Spain is engaged in war. IN the event
of which her liberty and national indie
pendencc hang; the United States aWpre-
hended, or pretended to apprehcnd, that
the distant provinces Of Spain might pass
out of her hands. and to the prejudice Of
their interests, they therefore resolve to
seize those provinces themselves. For
remember it was not Mr.. Jetferson's dis
puted country that we we're going to lay
hold Of. but East Florida, 10 which we
never set up any claim, nor have We any
except what these secret proceedings dis
cover.
:. The United States, under the pecu-
liar circumstances Of the existing crisis.
cannot, without serious inquictude, see a.
nv part Of the said territory pass into the
hands of any foreign power; and that a
due regard to their own safety compels
them to provide, under certain contingent
cies, for the temporary occupation OF the
said territory; they, at the same time.
declare that the said territory shall, in
their hands, remain subject to future ne
gociation.'
Now if this be not Copenhagen princi-
pie. we do not know what is. The only
difference between the United States and
Great Britain is, that they acted upon the
principle which we were afraid to do.

count adds. th;.t the French failed
ed in every object fpursuit, and were Ii
nalIy compelled to retire with great loss.
A letter from Lord Wellington OF the
10th May. states, that the French were
continuing their retreat.
Iorl Ne!lington's manpuvrcs were
merely defensive, it appearing to be the
intention of the enemy. by drawing the
combined army to a particular point, to
throw suceors into Almcida; and il being
thought imprudent to risIne general en-
sagcment on account Of the superiority OF
the French force in cavalry. The attacks
Of the French on the different posts were
sustained with great bravery, and they
were repulsed with heavy loss. In one in
stance they left 400 dead on the field, be-
sides their loss in prisoners. On the 9TH,
they commenced retreat and on the
10th the last division near A!mci,la, aban-
doned its position, and left that city to its
fate.
The Lisbon paper OF the 18th May. from
which the above has been translated. says,
that Joseph Bonaparte passed Vailadolid,
for Paris, 9th April, under the protec-
ton Of 1000 chosen men, and in company
with many Spanish noblemen, who had
sworn fidelity to his person. The siege of
Bada,joz was continued ct the last dates.
A private letter from Lisbon Of the 10th
May, gives the following :-'' A severe
battle mas been recently fought on our
Frontiers, hear Almeida, by the two grand
armies. commanded by Lord Wellington
and Marshal NIassena. The latter at
tackled with the view of saving A,meida !:
but was repulsed inevery charge. On both
sides the loss has been considerable. The
garrison of Almeida, despairing ofhoid-
Ing it, blew up the Notifications, and a
part of the garrison effected their escape.
This event leaves Portugal once msre
free from the rapacity Of the French, who
do not now possess TN inch of ground in
the country"
Capt. Couthony states that the French
lost upwards oft2,0OO men in the battles
of the Sd and 5th May.
