WITHOUT FAIL IN ANY INSTANCE
tJOLOMON LEVI A CO., respectfully offerto the pub-
lie their self-prepared, well tested and highly effectual
preparation for exterminating Rats, Mice, Cock-Roaches
Ants, and Bed-Bags!
8. Levi A Co , promise those of the public, who msy be
annoyed by these destructive vermin, that after using this
well tested and highly effectual preparation for a few days,
thev will experience a complete riddance of all this vermin.
This preparation possesses the singular property, that
without being actual poison, it will not only kill the Rats,
Mice. Ac., but will, in consequence of the smoke it produce*,
positively compel those that do not partake of it, precipi
tately to leave the house.
This preparation has now been in use in Germany and
France about three years; and been pronounced, by every
one who lias given its fair trial, the best remedy they have
ever used for the exterminatioo cf Rats, Mice, Ants, Cock-
Roaches, and Bed-Bags.
The articles composing this composition are in themselves
very innocent, and contain not a particle of poison; but when
combined-create a gas, which explodes the stomach, and
consequently destroys life in n few hours. As soon as it
has effected tlie stomach, the articles become neutralized
nnd will affect nothing thereafter, so that there can be no
danger in its use tinker any circumstances,
Tlie directions for’nstng the preparation accompany eve
ry box, and are cheap and simple. .

territory.
[continued.]
As an offset lo the evidence of Captains Gray
aud Ingraham, and, so far ns it appears, as the
sole warrant beyond the words of the conven
tion, for his demand of the whole settlement of
Nootka, Vancouver brings forward thedepoxi-
tion of a certain Robert Uufnn, supercargo un
der Meures, ttnd who w^s wipt him at Noo'ka
in 178S. Vancouver gives, in his voyage, but
the substance of ibis man’s evidence; of which
the material part, according to his version, is as
follows;
‘•Mr. Mearcs attended by himself (Dtiffitj)
and Mr. Robert Funter, on the 17th or 18th uf
May, 1788, went on shore a id bought of ihe
two chiefs, Maquilla and Callicum, the whole
of the land that forms the Friendly Cove,
Nootka Sound, in his Majesty’s name, for eight
or ten sheets of copper, and somi trifling arti
cles: th it tlie natives wore perfectly satisfied,
and with the chiefs, did homage to Mt*. Means
as their sovereign, according to the custom of

Nothing about a surrender, here. It “ was

Whence this “ Lietitenant Pierce of the Ma

Vancouver says not a word, in his voyage, of
leaving any one at Nootka. Aud, on the face
of it, it is a thiog mast unlikely, that England
should entrust ihe ultimaie settlement ofa dis
pute that cost her millions, and had baffled die
Meares, a British trader in search of furs,
i support Spain against the English. And the
1 cabinet of London, intimidated by thi9 energetic
puts into Nootka Sound. There, according to auiJ inspected r.asoUmon postpuacd its amlu-

de/makes to the chief a small present. In tho I The motive any be ... correctly inferred;
coinmencemcnl oi tins man s memorial laid be- - - ■ i- 1 -1-
fore Parliament two years afterwards, it is still
only “a spot of ground, where he built a house
for his occasional residence;” but it is purcha
sed from Maquilla. Even before tlie memo
rial concludes, however, this modest spot of
groui.d Ins swelled into ihe lauds belonging
lo your memorialist.”
The men in buckram increase in number as
the drama proceeds. By the month of October
1790, tihd in the words of the Convention, it
had become “ buildings and tracts of land,” ol
which Meares had beeu dispossessed ; and
when two years more had passed over the
transaction, nothing short of the whole settle
ment of Nootka, with the recognition of Meares
as sovereign of the territory, would satinfy the
voraciously increasing appetite of the British
cla in.
Spain, us may well be supposed, was not
prcjKired to keep pace with these yeatly-in-
creasing demands. Quadra and ihe Bt itish
navigator parted in personal kindness, but after
n fruitless negotiation ; Nootka remaining iu
possession of Spain. Vancouver expressly
says;
“ 1 requested in conversation the next day
(Sept. 16,1792) to be informed, if he (Quadra)
was positively resolved to adhere, in the resti
tution of this country, to the principle contain
ed in hia last letter? aud on receiving from liitn
a reply in the affirmative, I acquainted him,
th u I should consider Nootka as a Spanish
port; and requested his permission to carry
on the ueoessary employments on shore, which
be very politely gave.”—Voy. Vol. 2, p 367, ’8.
Two years after this negotiation, nnmely in
September 1794, Vancouver returned lo Noot
ka, found the Spanish flag still flying there;
and, Quadra buying died meanwhile, found Se-
nor Aiava appointed commandant of Nootka.
From this gentleman lie learnt that he (Alaya)
had been appointed “ for the particular purpose
of finishing the pending negotiation.” But no
instructions from England had reached V an-
couver; and he left Nootka without effecting
anything.
Two months later, at Monterey, Vnncoyer
says that Aiava received instructions, of which
he confided a part to the British navigator ; and
these instructions, ao Vancouver tells us, would
enable an amicable adjustment “ nearly on the
terms offered to Senor Quadra in September
1792.” But still, no instruction* to Vancou
ver; who accordingly returned to England,
leaving the whole matter open ns before.
So far, then, it is confessed, that for more
than four years after the signature ofa conven
tion wrung from Spain by menace and, lavish
warlike preparation, she remained in. poaceful
and undisturbed possession'of the eiiUre^se.ttle-
rhtyiLof Nontfta.' Nor is tiuit9iany.. : e\,Idpn.ce,
•unless we consider asaucha *aguerepqi; til I ft
ded to by an undistinguished navigator, that
known to one of the most noted diplomat! soil
the day. .
The testimony of the British historian Bel-
Bliam, writing in 1805, but ten years after the
date of the affair, is still more distinct. In sum
ming up the h story of the Nooika ufl tir, he says:
“ So insignificant was the object in contest,
that no one, either in or out of Porliamen*, has,
so far as appears, thought it worth while to in
quire, whether restoration has really been made
in the mode prescribed hy the treaty or not.
it is certain, nevertheless,/™™ the most aut’icri
tic subsequent information, that the Spanish flag
flying at the fort und settlement of Nootka was
never struck, and that the whole territory has
been virtually relinquished by Great -Britain.”
Behham's Hist, of England, vol. 8, p. 337-8.
Aud again, iu the appeudix to the same vol
ume, after giving'the oflicial documents connec
ted with the dispute, be adds :
“But though England, at tlie expense of
three millions, extorted from the Spaniards a
promise of restoration und reparation, it is well
uacertaiued, first, tlust the settlement in ques
tion never was restored by Spain, nor the Span
ish flag at Nootka ever struck; and secondly,
that no settlement lias ever been subsequemiy
attempted by England on the California coast.”
Appendix, pp- 40-41.
The Edinburgh Review of July Inst t ikes
nearly the same view of tlie facts. Its words
are:
“ Vancouver left Nootka Sound in the pox-
session sf the Spaniard*; and there is conside
rable doubt whether any lands were ever re
stored to Meares, or whether there .were any
to restore. All we know is, that, iu 1795, all
parties, Spaniards and Engbsli, had abandoned
Nootka Sound, nnd it has urtt been re-occu
pied.”—Review, p. 256, 257.
And, finally, corroborating evidence of tlie
strongest anil nnwl au.ihenuc kind, in proof, that
Nootka w as never sufr^mlrr' J to Cireui lliit-
ain by Spain, and that S|»;>in regarded her ex
clusive right south Of N’ooika as aduiitte I, is to
be found itr a very curious original Spanish
manuscript, preserved in ihe Library tof Con
gress, and entitled Confidential lost!actions
for the Kingdom of New Spain,” drawn op by
Cou .t Gigcdu. former Viceroy, and addressed
to hia successor, the Marquis Brauciforte, dated
June 30,1794.,“
In these iartrurticths, given, it .ought to be
borne in mind, strictly as a matter of confiden
tial business, and not, by possibility, for ti e
sako of effect, the ex-viceroy savs, in paragraph
711:
