BRUSSELS, MARCH 2P. --- - Private letters from Paris say that five persons are to be brought to trial on account of the attempt on the Duke of Wellington. hitherto the affair ieniains a mystery to the public. FRENCH FRONTIER, 'MARCH 14. We learn from.Ventz, that the navigation of the Rhine will soon be regulated. It is asserted that by the interference of the Prussian and other Courts, the Government of the Netherlands has at length shewn an inclination to yield, and an official declaration from its Commissioner to the Committee at Mentt is expected, which will contribute to remove the diffi culties that have hitherto impeded the operations of the Commissioners. ' The operations on the Rhine for the exact determi nation of the frontiers, are now ended. The whole arrangement, we hear, is laid before the respective Governments for ratification. Mani' 2.7.—The Duke of Wellington is not ex pected at Cambray before the middle of April. It is s.iid he will then go for a time to England, and afterwards come to pass the summer at his head quarters. RENOV ATED HEALTH. TT has been too frequently the sub j ect of just and 1. general reprobation, that men, destitute of the ele ments of the medical art, have offered themselves as candidates fur public patronage in the profession of physic. For the purpose of doing jus tice to the result of our studies and experience, and to prevent us from being classed among those empiric.s, whose impudent pre tensions have, unfortunately for society, been too favourably re ceived,wl).l leave to submit, to the liher3 and enlightened, a faithful statement of our pursuits and acquirements. After hating received a regular medical education, as the pupils of Messrsully. Grindal and Blizard , whose lectures ;nd practices we caref attended, as Professors arid Surgeons of the London Hospi tal, we entered ourselves as students in that y justl-celebrated school for medical acquire ments, the Royal College of Edinburgh, and were instructed in the different branches of Anatomy, Sur gery, the theory and practice of Physic, Chemistry, Midwifery, Botany, &c. &c. itc. by those eminent professors, Drs. Monro trust , Gregory, Black, Hamilton, Duncan, and Rutherford. We we shall not be deemed presumptuous in saying, that our profi ciency and acquirements are not inconsiderable. }laving for a long series of years made certain complaints, and the various dis eases of DEBILITY, the particular object of our studies and practice, it will, we hope, be allowed, that we have acquired superior. knowledge of their treatment and cure. In slight and recent cases of infection, a perfect re-establishment is completed in the short period of two days; and in those of tke utmost in veteracy, where other practitioners have failed of success, a proper perseverance in our plan of treatment insures to the pa tient a safe and radical cure. Amidst the mclanclaoly variety of disorders which are the ef fects of a habit long and m ost unhappily pursued by the youth of bo t h sexes, there are none more alarming or more distressing than thos:deficiencies and debilities which frequently prevent or a imbitter the matrimonial state. To such persons it must be conso ling reflection to knew , that they ma y now, b y a new and infallible mode of treatment be restored to that greatest of all strong, manly, and vigorous constitution. Itt all cases of debility, Leers v...atever .4.2USe arising, as well as in every specks of a certain infection, we may be consulted by pa tie tither sex, with the reat.:,t secrecy and honour.

BILLION!, sent by the English Government tp collect monuments of antiquity in Egypt, for the Bri tish Museum, addressed the following letter to M. Vtanourt, for the purpose of its publication in the Paris reapers. The illustrious savant, when the :coat arrived, was unhappily no more. Our Readers will no doubt be gratified by our executing the intentions of M. Ramon. The letter is as follows : " CAI KO, JANUARY 9, 1818. " I ins just arrived from Upper Egypt, and pre paring to return into Nubia, for the third time. " When I first visited Thebes in 1816, I succeeded in embarking on the Nile, the upper part of the fa wns statue of Memnon. This grand fragment, which lay.for so many ages in the ruins of the palaces destroyed by Cambyses, is actually on its way to the British Museum. It is a colossal bast from a single block of granite, 10 feet ie heighth from the breast to the tap of the head, and I% tons weight. Other travelbot, before me, had farmed the design of con. frsz t y:iat to Europe, but . abandonedtheir inte su~ntion, ads th fildle q u f ait i t ir two milee ° , i to tran" faeba r ua tin on the Nile, by which, alone it could reach. Alexan. dria. I have succeeded in effecting this, without ma chinery, and solely by the labour of Arabs, however ill-suited such rude efforts to a people sunk in the in dolence of tht savage state. It accordingly took the labour of six months. " From Thebes, I returned up towards Nubia, to examine the grand Temple of Ybsambul, which is buried more than two-'thirds of its height in the sand, near the second cataract. There I found inhabitants very uafavaurable to my views, and on whose part I prepared myself to edcounter difficulties. I, how ever, from the advanced state of the season, was in duced to postpone this enterprise to another time. " In the mean time I went back to Thebes, wheats I employed myself in stew excavations, near the Tern. ple of Karnack. It was there I found, many feet underground, a range of Sphynxes, within a wall. These Sphynxes, with a lion's head upon a woman's bust, are of black granite, •of the ordinary size, and, for the most part, finely executed. There was in the same place, a statue of Jupiter-Ammon, in white marble. It was not until my second voyage, in 1817, that I discovered the head of a Colossus, much larger than that of Memnon. It was of granite, and firmed out of a single block—it measured of itself 10 feet from the neck to the top of the mitre, with which rite head is covered. It is iu excellent preservatitm ; the polish is still as flue as if it just came from the hands of the statuary. " After this, I resumed the way to Nubia, where so many hard trials awaited me. The people of this country are utterly aavage, and have no idea of hos. pitality. They refused us the common necessaries of life; neither entreaty nor promise had any effcat upon them, we were obliged to live upon Turkish wheat, diluted in water. By dint, however, of patience aed courage, after 22 days of incessant travelling, 1 had the happiness of finding myself in the Temple iS Ybsambul, where no European foot had ever trol before, and which presents an excavation much mare vast than any to be found in Nubia or Egypt, except the tombs which I discovered at Thebes. " The temple of Ybsambid is one hundred ar.d fifty-two feet long, and contains fourteea apartments, and an immense court, where we discovered eight colossal figures, thirty feet high. The colair•as and the walls arc covered with hieroglyphics and figures very well preserved. This temple has been spared by Cambyses, and by the other ravagers who came after him. I brought some antiquities from thence, two lions with the heads of vultures, and a small statue of Jupiter Ammon. " On returning again to Thebes, I applied myself once more to discover what has been, from time im memorial, the object of discovery for all travellers of every nation—l mean the tombs of the Kings of Egypt. It is known that, independent of those tombs which are open, there existed several under ground, but no person has yet discovered in what , place. means of observations on the situation of filches, I at length found the index that should lead me on the way. After various excavations, I succeeded in di:: covering six of these tombs, one of which is that • Apis, as it seems to be pointed out by the mummy an ox found there. - This mummy is filled with a: phaltes„ For the rest., nothing that 4 can say cost' enable you to conceive the grandeur and magnin. cence of this tomb. • " This is undoubtedly the most curious and f most astonishing thing in Egypt, and which gives ti highest idea of the labours of its ancient inhabitan The interior, from one extremity to the other, is tle hundred and nine feet, and contains a great numl of chambers and corridors. The walls are entire, covered with hieroglyphics and bas-reliefs, painted fresco. The colours are of a brightness to whi nothing within our knowledge is to be compared, are so well preserved , that th e y a pp ear. to have la • but just laid on. But the most beautiful ahtiqu of this place, in the principal chamber, is a Sari pliagus of a single piece of alabaster, nine feet ser inches long, by three feet nine inches vide, within • without equally covered with hieroglyphics Carved figures.
