MICIIL. LEE CO. Sold by appointment by DANIEL RAPINE, Bookseller, Capitol Hill, Washington. NINIAN MAGRUDER, Druggist. Georgetown. DAVID OTT CO. Pennsylvania avenue. The few following respectable cases of cures are selected from hundreds of equal respectability. Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills. The operation of these highly esteemed Pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thou sands has proved, they may be used in every situation in life, without the least inconveni ence. Messrs. Michael Lee Co. I have been very much aillicted for some days past with extreme pain and giddiness in my head, so much so that when I have had oc casion to stoop down in the store, on raising up again, it was with difficulty I could stand on my feet for some time, connected with a sick stom ach. Having repeatedly received great benefit from your Anti-Bilious Pills, I had recourse to them again, and find myself again entirely re lieved from thbse distressing sensations, and now enjoy perfect health. You are at liberty, (and I wish you so to do) to make this as pub lic as you may see proper, as I am confidant those pills are the most efficacious medicine in similar cases and I do sincerely believe that a timely use thereof will in many cases pre vent violent attacks of Bilious and other fevers. Yours respectfully, GREENBURY RIDGELY, No. 9, Market street. July 8, 1812. Lee's Elixir. A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthmas, sore-threats and ap proaching consumptions. Messrs. Michael Lee C! Co. You are s. t liberty to use my name in the re commendation of Lee’s Elixir, as from repeat ed trials I have found it an exceliant remedy for colds, roughs, &c. RD. BARRY. Baltimore, June 20, 1812. Messrs. Michael Lee Co. I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pain in the breast, which continued to grow worse—during which my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me that much good had been done by the use of Lee’s Elixir, advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna, which I accordingly did—and to those persons, un acquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of one bottle only restored me to perfect health. J. A. SMITH, Market Street, F. Point. LEE’S LOZENGES. This medicine, which is as innocent and mild as it is certain and efficacious in its ope ration, cannot injure the youngest infant should no worms exist in the body. Messrs Michael Lee, Co. Observing that my son, 6 years of age, was troubled with difficulty in breathing ^some thing frequently rising in his throat j restless ness at night, loss of flesh, &c. from these symptoms I was confident he had worms and having procured a box of Lee’s Worm destroy ing Lozenges, the first dose expelled 23 large worms which afforded him immediate relief. He now enjoys a good state of health, and 1 believe I can from expedience say, that Lee’s Lozenges are the most efficacious remedy for worms now in use. THOMAS PETERS, Of the late firm of Peters Johnson. Baltimore, July 1, 1810. LEE’S IN FALLIBLE FEVER AND AGUE DROPS Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. Messrs. Michael Lee Co. I think it a duty incumbent on me (for the benefit of my fellow beings) to make known to you the wonderful cure performed by your truly infallible Ague and Fever Drops. My little son has been laboring under the ague fever for several months—a great many reme dies were tried without the least effect, and the child fast declining, having almost entire ly lost his appetite. I was advised to try Lee’s Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. I procured a bottle and gave it attentively as directed, to my astonishment, the third day the ague fever entirely left him, and he soon perfectly recovered his health I do therefore confident ly recommend them to all persons laboring under that distressing disease to be a perfect cure.

(Mr Sheffey’s Speech concluded.') An honorable member from Tennessee, (Mr. Gri.ir.dv) the other day read some extracts from the instructions transmitted to our minister in London in 1792- His object was to shew the deep interest which the great man who then presided over this nation felt on the subject of impressments. I sincerely wish that while gen tlemen resort to his opinions to support theirs, they would consent to imitate his conduct. No thing can be more strikingly different than his policy and that which is now pursued. In 1793 the subject of impressments did not form the only complaint against G. Britain. The treaty of peace remained unexecuted on her part. To that was added tire great injury which our commerce sustained by the extensive captures made by her cruisers during that year. The interest which was felt for the success of the French revolution against which G. Britain had arrayed herself, tended to excite the na- tion, eVen beyond the measure of its wrongs, and ripen it for war. But the wisdom of Wash ington saved us from being drawn into the vor tex, which has since devoured all who ap proached it. Mis genius considered the true interests of his country to consist in the pre servation of its peace and he had firmness e nough to preserve it, though opposed by the strong feelings of the people. Notwithstand ing the accumulated wrongs which we had re ceived, he sent a messenger of peace, and ul timately gave bis assent to a treaty in which tliere was not one stipulation even to restrain the abuses of impressments, which the year before he had declared could not be longer to lerated. Why was this done by him, who, to say the least, had as much affection for his country’s rights, as the politicians of the pre sent day—whom fear never influenced—and who could safely calculate on the support of the people, should he resort to arms The answer is obvious. Peace upon almost any terms was better than a hopeless, endless con test. What a contrast does his example pre sent to the conduct of those who now direct the destinies of this nation, and who, while they reject his policy, resort to his opinions to support their own Upon the subject of foreign war, and the ob jects connected with it, the opinions of gen tlemen of the majority have certainly under gone a strange revolution since they came into power. Little more than twelve years ago, they deprecated foreign war as inc6nsistent with the .spirit of our institutions, and the genius of our government. Nothing short of self-de fence, when attacked in our own country, was considered as a justification for abandoning our peaceful pursuits, and mingling n hostili ty with European powers. Every other object was deemed subordinate to the preservation of peace, because with it was connected every benefit which it had pleased Providence to be stow upon us, and which our detached situa tion rendered secure. We now hear those very gentlemen talk of Rome and Greece in their proudest days, when they inspired terror into the inhabitants of distant climes and carried their arms to every quarter of the globe; and their example is held up for our imitation. The almost boundless extent of our territory is be come too limited, and we hear of conquests to the north .nd south, as essential to our secu rity and h tppiness. In taking a retrospect and contrasting former opinions with present con duct, a person would almost be inclined to dis trust his observation, was there not left on re cord monuments of th* sentiments of former times entertained by gentlemen in the days of humility, when they were struggling against power. Pefmit me to call your attention to a resolution of the Virginia Assembly, adopted in 1799, said to be drafted by Mr. Madison, now President of trie U. States, upon this sub ject. It was then considered the standard of republican opinion, by all who professed to be of that party. It in substance declares, that though the general assembly view with indig nation the violations of our commerce, the im pressment of oar seamen, and other wrongs committed by foreign nations, j'et detached as the U. States are from European concerns, they should deprecate a war waged for any other ob ject except self defence, in vases of actual inva sion. This resolution had an eye to our reL tions with France, from whom we had then re ceived every injury and indignity she could in flict, and with whom we were in a state of partial h >sulity; but it explicitly declares, that we ought to engage in offensive war, for no object whatever. Let this sentiment be com pared witli the conduct of the same men now they are in power. The project to conquer the British provinces on our northern frontier, the object content plated by the bill before us, presents these sub jects for our inquiry 1. Is it attainable within any reasonable time. 2. Will it, if effected, secure to us our mari time rights violated by G. Britain. 3 If not, is it an indemnity for being de prived of our rights on the ocean, and the loss of our people and our money in acquiring it I I beg leave here to observe, tha. I do not dis tinctly understand rhe real object of the admi nistration in relation to this subject. In this House we have sometimes been told, that Ca nada is to be restored to the British govern ment at the close of the war, as an inducement to her to relinquish her maritime pretensions injurious to our commerce and navigation—at other times ’hat it is to be retained at all e vents to prevent collision in future, and to se cure us from the effect of British influence with die savage tribes. From the conduct of our military commanders, who have approach ed the Canadian lines, I should infer, that the eventual restoration of the country (should it be taken) is not contemplated. If lam incor rect, nothing can be more unjust and cruel to wards the innocent inhabitants, than to invite them to bear arms against their government as has been done, and ultimately surrender them to its vengeance. These isvitations, I presume, have the sanction of the administration, be cause we have not heard, in any instance, that they have either disavowed the act, or censured the .fficers concerned for their conduct. If I am correct in my conclusion, then this is not a wav for the rights If I recollect right, it was expressly stated in the report of the Committee of Foreign Rela tions, in the session of 1808, sanctioned by this House, that as long as the two belligerents continued their injurious edicts against our commerce, it would be improper to enter into hostilities with either that under such cir cumstances, war with tme was submission to the other. Is there any person, who has any claim to impartiality, who now believes that the pro mises of France were fulfilled according to heir leiter or spirit Nay, is there any person who does believe that the decrees were ever repealed or ceased to operate, until we were pledged to go to war by the measures of the last session Never was there a more fraudu lent imposition ihan the conduct of the Fr nch government presents in relation to this sub ject. Though our ministers, time afte.r time, requested an official document shewing the re peal, so that it might be presented to the Bri tish government to obtain a discontinuance of the orders in council, yet it was parried and evaded—the reason was, there was no such do cument in existence. When it could render us no service, wh n we were committed in the war, the ante-dated decree, purporting to have been issued the 28th of April, 1811, was is sued, containing upon its face the grossest in suit. It states, that in consequence of this go vernment having put in force the now-importa tion system against G- B. the decrees of Berlin and Milan were repealed—thus putting us in the lead. This govebament had adopted that measure as consequent on the repeal of those de rees. It is to be much regretted that the President became the dupe of this artifice—that he did not manifest the magnanimity to revoke his proclamation of Nov. 1810, when he disco vered the deception, particularly as he had a precedent in the case, which grew out of Ersk ine’s arrangement. I cannot omit to notice an idea,'suggested in the course of the debate, by an honorable member from Georgia (Mr. Troup.) He has urged upon the House the propriety of inveig ling all British seamen into our service, by pro mising them the immediate benefit of natural ization. I feel astonished to hear such a pro position made by a gentleman comixg from

They are afloat in a very crazy vessel. You know, Mr. Chair man, there is a population among them, whom necessity compels them to keep in slavery. They want nothing but means&opportunity to attempt to break their shackles; I ask what can you ex pect from your enemy, if you seduce her sub jects from their duty and allegiance, but that she will retaliate and strike you in the most vi tal part. Th is apprehension I know is treated as visionary—but remember the fate of St, Do mingo. I have no confidence in the reasons ge neially ottered to dispel the idea of danger from that quarter—that is the want of means and intellect on the part of the slaves. Man is strong, resolute and ingenius where liberty is concerned; Before the year 1800 it did not enter into the imagination of any person in Vir ginia, 1 hat any danger was to be apprehended front that sotree. In that year a conspiracy was discovered, not only dangerous as it res pected the numbers concerned, but their plans and means manifested a degree of capacity which could not have been believed. The dis covery inspired terror into every bosom. 1 was in a situation at that time, which enabled me to see and feel it. Sir, with ten thousand men landed on the southern shores, and fifty thous and stand of arms, what havoc might not be ex pected I do not pretend to say that such an attempt would be finally successful, but the consequences would unquestionably be disas trous. Every man would find in his own family an enemy ready to cut the throats of his wife and children. Would such a catastrophe not greatly outweigh all the objects of this war. Let us keep within the rules of civilized war fare and we may perhaps avoid the danger. I will close my remarks by stating to you the course which, if I had any influence, I would re commend. I would interdict the employment of all British subjects in our public and mer chant service, as a measure not so much to propitiate Great Britain as to benefit our own se men and prevent us getting into collision hereaf.er. I would make another overture for peace upon libel ai principles, in which I would manifest a real spirit of amity, content to take the great good though it might not be accorded in the form most eligible to my mind. I should not at present insist for the indiscriminate im munhy of our flag, but be satisfied with a sti p ilation which would secure us from the abuses of impressment—such as our ministers Monroe and Pinkney did obtain, I consider “honorable and advantageous,” and such can again be ob tained if we use the proper means There is nothing degrading in this course; we have the example of Washington in the year 1793. Mr. Adams, who certainly will not be charged as be ing' too pacific, after our ministers had been re jected by the French Directory sent messengers of peace a second time. If such a course should be adopted, I venture to pledge myself you will have an honorable and advantageous peace. C Debate to be continued^ Slip I

It shall be printed twice a week, on a good type and paper, at three dol lars per annum. The character of the ALBANY ARGUS will be decidedly Republican. It will support with zeal the national dministr tion, in the arduous conflict in which it is now engaged in support of our national rights, sovereignty and independence, against an enemy’who has allied himself with the Savages of America and the Pirate of Algiers. It will advocate a vigorous prosecution of the war, until the wrongs of our seamen are redressed, their rights recognised, and our commerce freed fromj European shackles. It will co-operate with the Republican presses in this and the other states, in giving unity to our exertions and efficacy to the measures of the govern went. It will seek to do aw«y territorial jeal ousies and local prejudicies and to inculcate in their stead a more magnanimous and na tional policy among our citizens. It will strive to allay asperity among Republicans; and ;o conciliate and unite all who are susceptible of being influenced by considerations of patriot, ism. It will support the administration of Governor Tompkins, and his re eiection should he again be in nomination——in the belief, that under the auspices of that patri otic Chief Magistrate, the state of New York may do its duty in this second war of indepen dence, and that it may be preserved from the folly and wickedness of thwarting and coun teracting the national will at this particular crisis. In fine, it shall be the editor’s study to render it a paper of chaste and useful infor mation in the various departments of Litera ture, Science and Amusement, and of sound republican principles. With these objects in view, the editor soli cits the countenace and partronage of a libe ral public. JESSE BUEL. Albany, Dec. 28, 1812. N. B.

Inward Weakness Nervous Disorders, Female Com plaints, Ifooping Coughs. A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, Sore Throats, and approach ing Consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. A single trial will prove, that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the com mon healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mu cus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, sheathes the acrimonious humor which irritates them, and totally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symp toms are of course effectually and permanent ly conquered, the reverse of common medicines which weaken the constitution, and vigoi strength to the disorder, for the sake of mo derating for the present some of its painful enects To Parents who have Children afflicted with the WHOOPING COUGH. This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the pro gress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it- TOOTH-ACHE DROPS. The only remedy yet discover ed which gives immed ate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. HAHN’s ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS, For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Ma lignant Fevers.

They are cele brated for removing habitual costiveness, sick ness at the stomach, and severe head-aches, and ought t« be taken by all persons on a change of climate. HAMILTON’S WORM-DESTROYING LOZ. ENGES. This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of simitar title so commonly com* plained of as operating with violence on the contrary, a particular excellence of this re medy is its being suited to every age and con stitution It contains nothing hut what is per fectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate preg nant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; hut will, without pain or griping, cleanse the sto mach and bowels of whatever is foul or of fensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms, and many fa’al disorders HAMILTON’S GRAND RESTORATIVE, It recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of Nervous disorders, Consumptions, Lowness of Spirits, Loss of Appetite, Impurity of the Blood, Hysterical Affections, Inward Weaknesses, Violent Cramps in the Stomach and Back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gou; in the Stomach, Pains in the Limbs, Relaxations, lie. The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive pow ers, and sending forth from that organ new health and vigor into ev?ry part of the sys tem it enriches and purifies the blood with out inflaming it; braces, without stimulating too violently, the nervous system; strength ens the secretory vessels, and the general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that nutrition which immoderate evacuations had destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.

The proprietor informs those persons and families who are suffering under this disease (against the infection of which no person is safe) that if this ointment is used at night on going to bed, it never fails to perform a cure by the following morning, as thousands who have used it during the last ten years can tes tify. The peculiar excellencies of this infal lible remedy for the Itch, over every other, are the certainty of a cure by a single ap plication; the ingredients being so innocent as to be applied with perfect safety to the tenderest infant, and its being not only free from any offensive smell, but equally agree able with the pleasant pomatum. THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS. This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the Gums, preserves the Enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, by absorbing all the acrimonious slime and foulness, which, suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
