SUoereign remedy for Colds, OBSTINATE
Coughs, .asthmMs, sore Threats, and
approaching Consulsptions, and most
disorders Of the breast and lungs.
A SINGLE trial will prove, that it
"A restores the determination Of the
fluids to the surface of the body; and
brings on the common healthful persplra-
hon; that it dislodges and eyacuates the
tough viscid phlegm OF. mucous, strength

sheathes the acrimonious humor which
reritates them and finally discharges it.
Thus strikes at the root of the disorder,
the, symptoms are of course eHectually
and permanently conquered, the reverse
of common medicines which weaken the
constitution, and give strength to the
diso der, for the sake of moderating for
the present some of its painful effects.

SIR,
The Banks may render Themselves allie to
resume sfecie payments by the 18Th Of
November neat.
There are two ways in which Bank
which has too little gold and silver for it's
notes in circulation, may lessen the dispro~
portion One is by calling in part of its
circulating paper; the other is by aug
menting its stock of specie. Both these
modes might be resorted to by the Banks
OF Virginia. According to the general state
OF those institutions, which was published
last winter, they have in stock Of the u
nited States and OF this State. upwards of
one million and in foreign notes and ba-
lances due from other Banks, about two
millions, exclusive of their specie, which,
IS generally understood, TO be not much
snort ct million. By converting but part
OF these funds into gold & silver, they might
obtain a supply Of cash equal TO their
necessities. thus, suppose the amount Of
the notes in circulation, which was about
six millions to be diminished to five nit
lions, /. c. abodt is per cent. by moderate
curtailments. for SIX or eight months and
that million in specie we're provided by
the sale Of their funded stock OF foreign
paper they would then possess two mil
Goos OF specie forfive millions of circulat-
ing paper, which is a greater proportion
than the experience of tanks has taught
to be necessary. It is true that the run on
the Banks. as so0n as their vaults we're A..
gain open, would be the greater, from the
Increased anxiety which now exists To get
specie, and the shock which has been given
20 bank credit but this soon would be mere
y temporary, and by way Of probation Be
fore million Of dollars were drawn from
the Banks, probably before a half million,
the tide would turn. and specie would flow
into their Golfers az fast as it had flowed
out. Every holder Of Virginia note. know
ing that he could convert It at pleasure into
cash, would cchsider it as cash and the

we may station in the Mediterranean.
The Dey of Algiers cannot accuse us of
any breach OF favt. Com. Decatur did
not bind himself to restore the brig which
was taken but, ne would have been so
bound, il his proposition had been accepted.
The Spanish Corsul was at the moment OF

that the Spanish Court would be willing to
deliver her up. in return Tor an act OF cour-
tesy which we should thus have performed
for them. But the Dey refused, upon the
ground that the Consul had been guilty OF
tome peIiai act, which had induced tue di
van To irnprison him--and that it was out
Of his power TO cancel their proceedings.
All that Decatur nd, was TO trahsfer to

Tiis smooth faced duplicity will not

It win not only have the effect Of guard

cradle of European navigation, csntinues

agreeable aud healthy Climate, the sbun>
dance which covers its shores, the magni-
bcent runs and elegant improvements
which It exhibits, the necessity OF all
ways being on their guard. against the at
tacds OF the tribes which dwell on the
Baroary Coast, are great inducements for
selecting the station. 1t is the fayorite
