TO IHE EDFIVI? OITHE SL 4R. ON THE PROPHECIES.-NO. XXVII. FOURTH TRUMPET (CONCLUDED.) After the retreat of ALARIC from Rome, as has :already been noticed, HONORIUS and the infatuated Romans thought no more of the Treaty, which they had concluded with him. OLYNIPIus the minister was so much occupied with the ruin and destruction of all . whom he hated or suspected, that business of real moment was neglected. I was at last ruined in his turn by an intrigue of eunuchs, and was succeeded by JOVIUS4 a man equally weak and worthless, who re jected some equitable proposals made by ALAme ; in consequence of which that conqueror egain made his appearance at the gates of Rome, and compelled the itemans to receive Arr Ares the prefect of the city as emperor in the room . of HoNoeit'S. ATTALUS however committed so many blunders that AtAmc goon deposed him and again began to negociate with 110Nou; us. SAFUs, a Gothic captaia in the army of 1!;e latter, but an enemy of ALantc, broke off the •negr-,ciation, by attacking and killing a great number -of the Goths while the conferences were open. ALA mc in a rage laid siege to Rome (An. 410) for the third time, took the eity and ge:ve it !I/7 :o bepillagtd. Had ALA Ric wished it, lie might certainly have fol lowed up his victory, by taking Ravenna, and rei,,e'ned in le-!y, but it is thought he wished rather to establish himself in Ali ica, after pillaging Sicily. His army had partly embarked. when his fleet was destroyed in his sight by a dreadful stern). lie died at Casentia before he had time to repair this disaster, leaving his conquests to ATALLICS, his brother-in-law and a worthy successor. ATAULFUs wished to obtain- a settlement in the em pire and to marry PLAcima the sister of HONORIUs I who had been the captive of ALARIC. He concluded a treaty with the Emperor, was deceived, according to custom, and in revenge laid waste the country of Gaul, took Narbonne and Toulouse,and having gained the affections of the Princess married her. A JaileMtni '71).11 them gratited h:m in Spain, in Nvhich he was scarcely confirmed, when he was murdered by one of his equer ries. About the same time that the Goths obtained this settlement, HONORIUS was obliged to yield to the Bur. :sandiata a ft art of their unique.* in Gad. During these revolutions in 'Europe, Africa was distracted with violent dissentions. • The Emperor ,published new edicts against the Donatists, deCl aring whoever attempted to change the faith guilty of a ca piNl offence. In the East, ARCADIUS was also occu • pied in ecclesiastical squabbles. His wife, whq,ruled him, died in 404, and himself in 406, leaving the em pire to his son Tireotiostus the Younger, then seven years of age. ATM:LK:S was succeeded by SIGERIC, who hav ing murdered the children of.the former, was put to . death by his subjects, after reigning seven days. The • Visigoths elected WALLIA in his stead,who concladed a treaty with the Romans, and in their cause defeated - the Vandals and Alans, and as a recompense received in exchange for his former possessicns Aquitain Se cunda and Noven Pepulania [Poitou, Saintonge, Perigard, Bordelois, Agenois, Angoumeis, and Gas cany] besides the city of Toulouse, which he made his capital. (To his new 'possessions he gave the name of Gothia, and the Goths held it 88 years, till the invasion of Ccovis). About.the year 410 the Franks, acceding to some historians, settled ja the country situated between Idaestricht and the confluence of the Meese and the Waal. Others ascribe the foundation of the French Monarchy to CLODION, in W.—The Franks, who from the time of GORDIAN had made frequent incur sions into Gaul, were a collection of several confed rate German tribes between the Rhine, the Maine, and .the Weser, and had united in defence of their liberty against the Romans. CaNSTANTIVS, the only General is the army of }ION°. RIUS 2,40 war not thorns from among the barbarians, mar ried PLACIDIA, the widow of ATM:LK:B ' and sister of the Emperor, in 421, and en him a n d hii wife the Imperial Dignity was conferred by Hosoaws, who bad no child. CONSTANTIUS died the same year, and HoNoeres in 423. Turonoszes, who had not acknowledged the title of CO: , sTANTIUS and PLACIDIA, wishes{ to reunite the two empires in his own person. But Joint, Secretary ti State to HoNORWS, having assumed the purple, and liberated the slaves, in order to firm them into an army, and having solicited the assistance of the Huns, sonostus altered his plan, and sent an army to the '. , •est. with VALENTiNIAN, the son of CONSTANTTUS. if , clN was taken and beheaded, and VALYNTINIAN ill. was proclaimed Emperor. Rivalship between two of his generals, Arms and BoNtrAcE, caused each 6f theln to rebel in his turn—First BONJFAce, who invited the Vandals out of Spain into Africa, under their King GENESEitic, where they laid waste . the country with fire and sword. Th e state , una bl e to repel the invaders, restored BoNtrAmt to fa vour, who then endeavoured, but in vain, to expel them. /writs, aft aid of his rival's power, whO en joyed the favour of PLACIWA, the Mother of the Ens peror, raised the standard of revolt. In a battle which followed between these Gtnerals, BONIVACE received a mortal wound, though his army defeated t!cit of AETICS, who then took the road to Pannonia, implore the assistance of the Puns. The Court, t:ck with a panic, sent after him, and restored him t , ) dignities—such is the reward of revolt in a tot !ag state! Gaul, exposed a prey to avaricious magistrates, as well as to the ravages of the barbarians, had its mise ries aggravated by an insurrection of the peasants„ who in a body ravaged the country with the fury of savages. The Visigoths broke the treaty concluded with the Romans, and renewed the war.--In 438, Clodius, Ring of the Franks, seized upon Cambray; Tournay, and Amiens ; which were then ceded to him, the Romans ben unable to expel him. Treves was a 4th time plundered by the Franks, who also took Cologne.— GLNESKRIC retained possession of the best part of Africa. The Buevi subdued Beetica, and those coun tries which the Vandals had abandoned when they crossed into Africa. In one word, nothing was to be seen any where but massacres, revolutions, and dis indrnbersnents of the Empire. • In the East, Theodosius was occupied with new theological quarrels. Nestorius, Bishop of COnstan • t ippple, taught that M ary was not t h e mother g' P o n, th e m o th er of Gunn The Church lapin 40kar . mined otherwise he was of course a 'heretic. In 435 the Emperor ordered all the books of the Nestorians to be burnt ; prohibited, under pain of confiscation of goods, the granting any place of worship to these he retics ; and in cases of obstinacy decreed the punish ment of death. All the clergy who held this hetero dox opinion were driven from their churches; and the laity were excommunicated ; and as a far ther evi dence of the piety of THEODOSIUS a law was passed, by which the possessions of Ecclesiastics and Monks, who died without heirs, should go to the churches and Monasteries [the latter I shall have occasion to notice hereafter.] Those who could pass such laws could be little removed from idiotcy. • The barbarians, in the mean time (An. 441) con tinued to gain ground. Carthage was taken by Ge neseric, who created a large wavy and carried terror and desolation into Sicily. THEODOSIUS, or rather the eunuch CIIHYSAPHUS, exhausted the public resources, in fitting out 1100 sail of ships to attack the Vandal, who contrived to bring on a tedious negociation, in the course of which the Romanarmy being weakened, the Hues attacked the Empire ; in consequence of which Geneseric obtained his own terms, and was acknowledged Sovereign of Africa —the barbarians in the interim pouring into the Empire on all sides. Ae ri LA, whose genius equalled his ambition, had ,formed boundless plans of conquest, and subjected to his power all the countries from the Baltic on the one hand, to the eastern ocean on the other. He had re ceived Ambassadors from China ; hemmed in the Roman empire, and threatened its annihilation.— Theodosius conferred on him the title of General of the Romans, which he deigned to accept, but with the reservation of his jight to nuke war upon them if they did not act as he might wish ! He soon after ex ercised this reserved right. In 41.7, Thrace, Dacia, and Mcecia suffered fresh ravages from the Huns : seventy cities were stormed by them and two armies sent to oppose them were defeated.—Peace was then bought by the Romans at the price of 6000 lbs. weight of gold and an annual tribute of 2000 lbs. The money could not be collected without the most griev ous oppression and violence—wealthy families were reduced to indigence, and many perlons destroyed themselves in despair. The Ambassadors of the Huns were loaded with presents ; and if ArrrLA wished to enrich any of his officers, he needed only to send them to Constantinople! Theodosius, however, had the consoling approbation of churchmen, and per suaded himself, that in attending td their senseless lo gomachies, he was more profitably employed than in minding worldly concerns,—A council of 130 bishops assembled at Antioch, condemned the doctrine of Invs natures in one person, and pronounced sonic wholesome anathemas, depositions and banishments against the Eutyches—a kind of amusement in•which the Eastern Emperors were much occupied from this time till the destruction of the Greek empire, and which produced internal quarrels as fatal as the arms of the barbarians. Theodosius died in 450, on his return from a pious pilgrimage. His sister Pulcheria assumed the reins of government, and gave her hand to Martian. In the west the Empire was daily growing more feeble. Geneseric having quarrelled with the King of the Visigoths, Theodoric, the more effectually to harass him, invited Attila to penetrate into Gaul.— Honoria, the daughter ' of the Empress Placidia, mo ther of Valentinian, who had taken the veil, carried on a secret correspondence with the King of the Huns, and had promised to give him. her hand. Attila sent in consequence to demand the Princess in marriage, and with her the hay of the Inspire. By negociating 1 with th e Romans and Goths at the sa m e time, Attila ' concealed the resolution Ne had formed to 'destroy both, till he took the field (An 451) at the head of an army of 500,000 men, composed of various .na tions, led by their Kings, marched aloft b•• the Danube, ' and patted the Rhinft It is impossible to describe the havoc and devastation which he spread through out Gaul, between the Rhine, the Seine, the Mume, and the Moselle. These countries wereentirely ruined, the towns burnt, and the fields covered with the slain. —Aetius, the Roman General, succeeded in opening 'the eyes of Theodoric, the King of the Visigoths,to the danger that threatened him : he joined the Ro mans, as did also the Franks, the Burgundians, Ar moricz, and other nations which had obtained settle ments in the Empile. The most bloody battle that. was vier fought followed : Attila was worsted, and obliged to retire into Pannonia—but before the Ro mans had time to breathe, he returned (An. 452) with a fresh army, poured into Italy, and spread an universal alarm. At last Valentinian sent Pope Leo 'to Attila [observe the influence of this churchman] to beg for . peace. A truce was corttluded, the Ro mans agreeing to pay a,tribute, and the eonquerhr withdrew. lie died in the year following, and his too extended dominiOn soon fell in pieces by diisen dons among his ions, but the enfeebled empire never I recovered from the shock he had given it. Several settlements out of the divided territories of Attila were formed in Illyria, Mcesia ' Dada, the Lesser Scythia (at the mouths of the D anube), and were re. ceived as allies by that faqire which they were tear ing in pieces ; but the Ostrostiths, subjects of Attila, were the principal gainers by this revolution. MAR. VAN granted them all Pannonia, from Upper Maria to Norieum, and from Dalmatia to the 2: 1 tr n u e— a n d they afterwards obtained possession of all Italy. Those internal dissentions, originating in, and fos tered by, the vices of the Court, which had primarily brought on the evils of which I have attempted to give a faint outline, and which had now well nigh extinguished the Roman power throu4hont the pro vinces, were still continued. Valentinian debauched the wife of Maximus, a man of rank and power ; in revenge for which the latter contrived that Aetius, .the only person who could protect the Emperor, should ,be suspected of traiterous intentions ; Valentinian killed this general with his ownjiand, and was soon after assassinated by the artificibf Maximus (arm -4,55) who then mounted the throne. He compelled Valentinian's Widow to marry him : In revenge she invited Geneserie to attack Rome ; the Vandals obeyed the summons, and speedily .embarked ; Maxi mus was assassinated in attempting to fly ; Genese rie arrived, and Rome was given up to be pillaged, after which he returned to Africa with his booty. Avitus a•sl prince in t - the Suevi, e thepurple: Count Recimer, the son of a excited a sedition against him, took him prisoner, and, to disqualify him from reigning, caused ,hiln to b e consecrated a bishop ! He died 7uun_, alter and throne remained vacant for some "mss-- What le change !

Ho then set up in his room sue Severns, but who this phantom was is not known. He disappeared—but by what means is equally a secret, and Reamer governed the state, with abso lute authority, during a year and a half. Anthe mius was now (ann. 467) appointed emperor.— Recimer married one of his daughters, but being counteracted by him in some of his projects,' he re volted, beat the troops that opposed him, took the city of Rome, (ann. 472,) gave it up to be pillaged by his sol diers, and caused .elntheniius to be put to death. In the prophetic account; as will be shewn here after, this sacking of Rome put an end to the wes tern empire. It is true that the imperial head had a nominal, but only a nominal existence, till the fourth year after, but the power was gone, the light of the Im perial sun was set. • OLYBIUS, the next phantom appointed by RECIM (who died shortly after), reigned only a few months. He was succeeded by GLYCERIUS, known only by name, who was dethroned by NEPOS, an officer of the Eastern Emperor, in 474. In the following year NEPOS was drives from the throne by the patrician ORESTES, who appointed his own son RostoLus, sur named Auousrus, but commonly, in colitempt, called Auousrews. At this period all that remained of the mighty empire of the west was confined to Italy, Dalmatia, and a small part of Gaul, of which the nominal head had so slight a hold, that it only re quired the attempt to be made to dispossess him en tirely. In 476, the barbarians who served in the Ro man armies with the name of allies, demanded one third of the lands as a recompence-for their services, and, being refused by OftzsTEs, chose ODOACER, private soldier, for their leader. He attacked Pavia, where ORESTES . had shut himself up, took the place, put the patrician to death, and then marched to Ra venna, where, finding that Augustulus had voluntari. rily quitted the purple, he gave him his life, lint con fined him. He then subdued all Italy, of which he stiled himself Kixc !—Such were the events by which the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the ,noon and the third part of the stars; so that they ceased to diffuse their light throughout the heaven politic of the western empire, called in this book " the third part." 13113LICLS. Some time ago we mentioned, that in the Report of the Com" rnissioners of Military Inquiry it was stated that Colonel Arm strong's charge for his Levy was - - X 37,31 t) 'That the amoutv allowed wu - I 9,Y03 The amount disillowed - - 17, ;83 And the amount , issued - - ;V: "03 .. .-. .. _ _ _ _ " These accounts," says the Report, " are finally examinvd, and a balance against Lieutenant-Colonel Arnistroneof ./27500 is due to the public." • Colonel Armstrong has t omplalned that this statement is incor rect. It is not ours but that of the Commis,ioner., who, if it is erroneous, are the proper Gentlemen to corrr:•t it. AVe •however, subjoin Colonel Armstrong's explanation of the matter : " The entire sum issued to my agent was no more than 26,7901. and you will be pleased to observe, that of this sum 294451. were only received by me, 4,2441. having been paid by him to the dis trict paymasters, in Irelard and England for subsistence, &c. to the men of my corps, after City had been approved of and taken off my hands by the inspecting Generals of the recruiting service. Thus it appears clear and inoontrovertible, that in place of having actually been received by me, 22,4431. only came into my hands, which does not amount to 20 7ttineas a run for my levy. I had the aid of no more than three assisting officers, an adjutant, and quarter-master, to raise a corps of 1000 men ; the non-com missioned officers (IS excepted, who were discharged according to the terms of my letter of service) and drummers forming no part of what is termed the recruiting machinery, as they all wens into his Majesty's service. " With regard to a balance being due by me to the public, I must take the liberty of observing, that the terms of my letter of service never having been fulfilled, the accounts of,zny corps could not be finally settled, and therefore no sptkific balance can at pro. sent be ascertained. " The Gentlemen of the Committee, to whom these accounts were referred, did not possess sufficient authority to decide be tween the public and the individual; and•several questions of great consequence involving my own rank, and pay and subsistence to officers and non-commissioned officers, &c. though clearly pro vided for by the letter of service, ore still undetermined. When these questions aro decided, as they must ultimately be, id a manner consonant with the express sti - o ulation of that itktrunieut, a considerable balance must exist in my favour. " With respect to the malversatiogs which may have taken place in foreign or Irish kvies, I have nothing to observe. Con scious of the rectitude of my own conduct, I feel perfectly at ease —but, anxious that my hunourand character as a soldier should not be confounded with persons with whom I had no common feeling or interest, t beg leave to introduce the following cer,ifi cate, which was given to me by the Inspectors-General of the Re. crafting Service, atter the termination of my recruiting duty : " V. r aterlord, 22d Feb. ISCO. " We certify that the books of Major Armstrong's levy of re cruits for general service have been folly examined, and they have been found perfectly correct ; and Major Armstrong's conduct on that service has been proper and becoming an Of and a Gen tleraan. " HENRY JOHNSON, I. G.R. " WM. FAWCETI, I. Cr. R." I A CHALLENGE. ESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in his Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove a single instance where their Medicine and method of cure hive failed of the desired rWect. The practice of many veers in this particular branch of their profession has not given rise to one uasucceufal case. They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and sure of N'enereal Complaints, and that derangement of the system, which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects of a habit long and most unhappily punned by the youths of both sexes; in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barren hen ; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a dis tressing state of debility, which, if nut timely remedied, terminates in impotence. These are its remote and ultimate effects, while con sumptions,loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints usually characterise the earlier stages of this solitary vice. Of per sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, their . treatment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful, in the Course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. I n t h e most obstinate and comp licated cues of venereal infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, spongy excrescences, hard tu , mourn, granola ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, gleets, as also STR I CTITRES, Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled the skill'of other Praetioners ; are by their present improved plan of treatment, effectually and permanently cured, withotit the patient suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage which often follows the application of the lunar caustic. In the course of 20 years extensive practice in this metropolis, numerous cases of Strictures have been and are daily under their care, the total eradication of which are effected by a safe, certain, and expedi tious mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. The weakness, relaxation, era/debility proceeding from this complaint, is speedily remo ve d, and the patient restored to sound and vi gorous health. But where the debility lies for years existed, a proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after the Stric ture has been destroyed, Is Indispensably requisite to revive the slumbering sparks of life,sand to reanimate the Constitution.

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN ci Esittcatiutt and Responsibility deviate front the General System by the selection of a particular branch, the sanction of :odg-ountinue4 success is the he 4 criterion of superiority. Fourteen years have we devoted o:,r practice to ?he exclu?ive treatment of two disorders, and the aucce.f.,l rv-04h et our rlan gives U 3 additional ardour to oppose, as far as w. arks 61u, t Lao ravages of those complaints whiob are the most import:tilt in the catalogue of human infirmities. After initiation into every branch of practice, we contemplated the sufferings of Siphy,litie and Dehilit aied Pa:ionts, and forwed a wish to rescue individuals from the tgooranea of uneducated invu, or the equally dangerous precipitancy of gentiral practitioners. The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted our amen. than, comprise every species of Venereal Infection, w:ieti,t-r of recent or long duration: c y, all kilids of Debility, wliether ing front the habits of school-boys, or the indulgencies sd . mature age.—Nunkwoua 4ibe.bet, are the result of ignorance, or haste in the treatment of a simple (oitorrhwa, and it not unfrequently. hay_ pens, that the seeds of life are poisoned by the indiicretion 01 unguarded hour. .By a superior method such complaints are easily cared; and even where oilier. have failed,'we trust that we may pre.uiuu to iavr a radical re-rstablislunent.

Where the unhappy sufferer broods over his misery, but care fully Co7lCeal, his misfortune, it may be some consolation for trim to know, that although it be au oi'ject of doubt or uncerta'ntr with other practitioners, the removal Of these deficiencits by the gradual progress ot renovation is the acquirement of our experience.
