in various ways Some selling sarsaparela and O.
theI syups, imposing them on the ignorant for the Pa
hacea; others mixing the genuine medicine with
noasses, sc. making three bottles out OF onc-thus
retaining some virtues. These mtatonsand adul-
teraons, have many instances protracted the suffer
ings of patients in where the genuine medicine
would have proved instantly eihcacious therefore
deem it duty the public, to acquaint them,
that it is impossible, from the very nature ofs consti-
tuens, obe discovered by chemical ANALYSIS and con-
seuuently that all other mixtures represented to be
mine and sold as SUCH arefrauduent and base mposi-
tons calculated to deceive the Ignorant and unwary
Thegenuinc medicine has my signature on label re-

The engrossed joint resolution, authorizing
the survey of Post Road from Baltimore to

Mr.. McLane, of Delaware, then moved that
the House resolve itself into Committee OF the
Whole, on the bill making appropriations for

of the day previous. This motion, however,
was superseded by one submitted by Mr.. For

from the further consideration Of the Bill, and
to lay it on the table.
Upon Mr.. Forsyth's motion very general
debate took place-Mr. Forsyth, Mr.. Stephen
son of Penn. MIR. Buchanan, and others, for the
motion; and Mr.. McLane, of Del. Mr.. Storrs,
Mr.. Wood of New-York, and others, against it.
The discussion continued till four o'clock,

Cash, the value ofwhich forms SC prominent

scarce for more than four months. 1t has been
peculiarly SO for the two months and halt,
ending Jan. 10, since which our tanks have
discounted little more, and reduced the va

to 9 per cent. per annum, on good paper. In
such state of things, very few new engage

months. The consequence will be, at period
no, far distant, scarcity Of Notes and Of
course a comparative abundance OF Cash. The
great scarcity of money, in Europe, at the last

on our money markets; because zee haze already

no longer sufficiently high to induce he e1por-

degree, OF the whole quantity of specie.

since a piece worth upwards of $50 was sold
