They are br. fly these —He has been waiting, until a few days since, for a sup ply of the paper upon whi- t the Messenger is printed, the vessel in whi ii it was shipped from-Boston having been detail ;d by adverse cir cumstances sixteen days—bein on her passage, in all, thirty days. That essentia article being cow received, he is prepared to go n,and is going on rapidly with the publication of t e number, and ex pects to be able to deliver i by the 25th of the month. He flatters himself, tl .t as the Messen ger has generally been brought out with prompt ness, the hindrances which havt recently occurred, will be kindly overlooked, and ie hopes in future to get it through the press, and o present it to the public with its customary despa; h and punctuality.

A certain and lasting cure for that disease. THE subsciibers having been appointed special agents for the sale of Galiighan’s Fever and 1 Ague Pills, is prepared to furnish planters and country traders with supplies of said article on terms equally as favorable as they can be obtained ! of the proprietors Galiighan’s Pills, though useful for all diseases ( which originate in a superabundant collection of I bile in the stomach, are more particularly intended for Fever and Ague. In the first place they cleanse, strengthen and give tone to the stomach and bow els, and create a new and healthy action through out the system. They produce a natural and per manent appetite; they defend the system against new or subsequent attacks of the disease; they assist the various operations of nature by cleansing the system of all vitiated, corrupt and acrid humors, i and thus invigorate and reanimate the whole frame. , Possessing a purgative quality, they cannot remain in the bowels to produce such other diseases as often follow the injudicious treatment of the fever i and ague. They are composed entirely of vegeta- F ble matter, and may be taken ly persons of both sexes and of all ages, without the least danger of unpleasant consequences. In fine, the public are > assured that Gallighan’s Pills possess those inesti i mable virtues, which are requisite not only to ar rest, but to eradicate and destroy the last seeds of . this most d-stressing malady of the human family. The proprietors solemnly pledge themselves that they do not contain a particle of minerals in any shape or form, but are composed entirely of simple vegetable substances , which either separately or combined, and witiiout regard to sex or age, are perfectly harmless in their effects upon the human system. ; LETTERS AND CERTIFICATES.
