ADELUSIVE habit, generally learnt at great schools, is the most pernicious practice imaginable. Every at, of debauchery of this kind strikes deep at the root of the con stitution, inevitably creates many alarming diseases, and, intro dating all the infirmities of the most languishing old age, hurries en a premature dissolution. DR. SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD Is recommended to those whose constitutions have been impaired or broken by such early imprudence, as well as those whose nerves are affected by intone study, or the habits of fashionable life; the too freesia:- of ardent spirits, tea, or coffee; and to all who are enervated by l ong res id ence i n hot and unhealthy climates.— Listlessness of mind, impaire4 strength and appetite, fl.ttulence, headache, vertigo, and dimness of sight, are more or less observable so them all. In these cases it will prove of the greatest efficacy, 1 - acing the relaxed nerves, -and strengthening and invigorating the 'constitution. Purchasers of this medicine should be sure to ask for Dr. Solo. Ishh's Cordial Balm of Gilead, and should look for the name en :rased on the stamp, viz.

In the Furniture Department is comprised every new and elegant article of Uphol stery, Cabinet, and Chair Manufacture, suitably designed for all de scriptions of Residences, from the simple Cottage to those requiring the most Architectural display of taste and richness. They particu- larly beg the inspection of their superior Patterns of Silk Damaslfs, Tabourets, &c. which, in consequence of the reduced Duty on Silk, they are now enabled to offer on Terms so comparatively moderate as must establish this superb description of Furniture for Drawing-rooms, Boudoirs, Saloons, &c. in pri Terence to the inferior articles now so much in use. Families who prefer the rich and beautiful style of the Ancient Gothic, will find some handsome Spe cimens in character for Buildings of the most antique structure; and as C. and Son are the real Manufacturers of the articles sold in their Ware-rooms, and employ none but first-rate Workmen, they are enabled, for Fashion, Splendour, and Solidity, to compete with any EstehliAment in the Metropolis, and, they with confi dence affirm, at Prices decidedly advantageous.

THE most prolific discovery that really prevents the Hair falling off or turning grey, and produces a thick growth on bald places is ROVE LAND'S MACASSAR OIL. • This Oil is the firtirci duction of the age, and is now in such universal use, agd its invaluable properties so highly and justly appreciated, not only by the discertfing population of this our en lightened country, but by the patronage of Royalty throughout the whole of the civilized universe. It is the most important specific for the growth and preservation of the human hair hitherto invented. It restores in redundancy the tresses ravaged from the head of beauty by feier, anxiety, or accouchement ; and in all cases, from whatsoever cause arising, where this graceful ornament falls into decay, operates as an infallible specific, powerfully nourishing the hair in its latent progress, and sustaihing it in healthy vigour, maugre time or climate, on its attainment of maturity. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL firmly sustains its portion of exalted fame, and it is only necessary to guard the Public against Unparalleled Venders, who, conscious of the impossibility of fair ri valship, resort to fraud, and intrude on the unwary a surreptitious article of injurious tendency, as the real bIACASSA R OIL; whereas the GENUINE is sold enclosed in a little Book, inside the wrapper, signed on the outside in red A.

MEXICO. The following is an extract of a very interesting letter received by an eminent Merchant, from Mexico : 44 Mexico, JUNE 3, 1824.—1 have the pleasure of l advising my arrival in this city, on the 24th ult. after a journey of about 400 leagues, by land, from the port of l i Mezatlan, in the Gulf of California, and after passing through the city of Guadalajara, and eight or ten other cities of this Republic. The short time I have yet had to look about me here, and to ascertain the state of markets, and general mode of doing business, will not allow me to advise, particularly as to prospects, and goods suitable ; but from what I have bad an opportu nity of seeing in this country, in my route hither, and the amazing population of the provinces and cities of Nueva, Espana, Guanajuta, and Guadalajara, I think there can be no doubt of an amazing field opening here for the consumption of manufactures. The duties, how ever, as yet, are extremely ill regulated, and badly pro portioned, and are, under present regulations, bearing extremely hard on all cotton manufactures, prints, muslins, &c. As far as I have yet seen of the commer cial society of our countrymen here, objects purely com mercial have occupied the attention only of two or three houses, the attention of the greater portion hitherto having been absorbed in mining speculations, to avail themselves of British capital, and in loan negociations with the Government." SPALV. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. CORRESPONDENCE. " ALtDaan, Auausr_2, lU*. • " Public attention is at present occupied here with the project said to be entertained by England of sending troops into Por.ugal. The rumour has proved an abundant source of hopes and fears to the politicians of Madrid ; but it would be useless to trouble you with the conjectures of those who wish for, or those who dread such an intervention ; I shall, therefore, only state, that the sole point in which both parties agree is, that if England does not interfere, France will do so on the first plausible opportunity. " By letters from Portugal, we learn that a consider able number of our countrymen, notwithstanding the vigilant measures taken upon the Spanish frontiers, have escaped into that kingdom. Some of these fugitives have even contrived to communica;e with their friends here, and in their letters state that, from the complexion Affairs are assuming in that country, some little gleam of hope may be derived for unfortunate Spain. Since, at the request, or more properly speaking ; demand of General Digeon, the Spanish battalions, who took part in the disturbance of the 25th ult. have been sent away, there has been no further interruption of the public tranquillity, though it is very evident there are many persons very anxious, and would be very active, were it not for the prudent measures adopted, to renew simi lar scenes. " General Quesada, Governor of Madrid, who for se veral days has observed a silence either forced or volun tary, has at length given signs of existence by the pub ' licatinn in our Gazette of an Order of the Day for the service of the place. The framing of such an order, at present, cannot cost him much time or trouble, as there are so fesv Spanish troops here, that they are imly re quired at ;he Theatres and their own barracks. Owing to this the duty of the Royalist Volunteers is extremely severe, and has produced not a little discontent amongst them, as the great majority of them have nothing else to support themselves and families but the produce of their daily labour, which can be but very scanty indeed, as nearly all their time is devoted to this military service. —The Municipality are straining every nerve to orga nise t third battalion of volunteers, for the equipping of which hi; Majesty has furnished , great part of the funds; but even this third battalion will be but a feeble relief, nor will the others cease to complain till the ar rival of the provincial battalions, which should have al ready been here. The cause of their non-arrival is most unaccountable, and has, of course, given rise to many strange conjectures. Knowing, from personal ob set vatiOn, the indiscipline of Quesada's troops, I said, in my last letter, that it was probable, after being sent away from the capital, they would never reach their destination. The event has justified my presentiment. —4We now learn that, long before reaching Toledo, they fell out amongst themselva,, ;Ares we►e drawn, se veral soldiers wounded, and, in the end, the greater number deserted of course, we may reckon upon an augmentaticn of the already too numerous banditti that infest the country. The last chain of galley slaves that left this consisted of nearly sixty persons, the greater number of whom were ex-national militia-men—these are to be led to Corunna, from whence it is thought they will be transported. Dreading this fact, which to a Spaniard is worse than death, there is little doubt but they will make a desperate effort to break their chains on the heads of their conductors. A close carriage, with the blinds up, drove in here to-day, and, stopping at the prison gate, a person, muffled up, was taken from' ' it, and lodged in the prison. The rumour goes that it is General Coupons. " The news from various points of the Peninsula is still of the same afflicting nature. We hear of nothing but imprisonings and persecutions of the Negros, excursions of predatory bands, particularly in the mountains - of Ronda, and robberies and murders upon the high toads. A letter from Barcelona states, that there are in that port several Sardinian and one English vessel that have been brought in there by the Custom-house cutters, -having been found laden with grain, and, near the coast. They said they were going from Genoa to Gibraltar (but this is the usual excuse with the smugglers of grain). The English and Sardinian Consuls have made repre sentations to the authorities here► It is 'yet doubtful if they will be declared lawful prizes, as they were not discovered in the act of discharging their cargoes." 43 / 4 THE SLAVE TRADE. • We have received a file of Sierra Leone Papers, which,' though not of so recent a date as the last accounts from Cape Coast Castle, are interesting, inasmuch as they enable us, in some degree, to judge of the diffi culties with which our countrymen have to contend in Africa. It appears that for a long time previous to the commencement of actual hostilities, Sir Charles Al.Car thy had been on very bad terms with the African Chiefs, on no other ground than his desire to put an end to the Slave Trade, in which they were engaged with the French and Spaniards. At one time, however, they had consented to hold a council, for the purpose of ar ranging the existing differences, and a Mr. Caulker was appointed by Sir Charles to represent him. Of the sin cerity of these Kings we can form a correct idea, from the simple fact, that when they had all assembled, and Mr. Caulker was in expectation of bringing matters to a satisfactory close, the arrival of a slave-ship at Shebar caused them to break up, so eager were they all to ob tain a share of the cargo.—The Royal Sierra Leone Ga zette, of the 10th of January, contains some observa tions on the Slave trade, which we subjoin. When we consider that they appear in a Government Paper, it will be allowed that they possess a deep interest : " We have only had three captures sent into this har bour since the squadron dispersed for cruising in April last, and those were captured by the Owen Glendower, under the command of our late much-lamented Com modore. It would afford us much satisfaction if we could say that the small number of captures (less than have ever been made in any preceding year) could be attributed to a diminished and diminishing slave trade--a fact which would be most cheering to every friend of Africa ; but such, we fear, is not the case. That there has been less slave trading last year than ever was known on the coast, we believe ; and it is gra tifying to say so, for though the cause is temporary, the effect has been good. There have been some thousand fewer instances of rapine, bloodshed, and murder com mitted in this unhappy country during the last nine months, than there would have been had matters gone on in their usual quiet way in the Brazils, or than them will be again when their present difficulties are arranged. It is extraordinary that these men, in their democratical brawlings for the fights of man,' never bring it home to themselves, or think of the Africans claim to the same rights. " The slave trade under the Spanish flag has also, we think, diminished, though we do not believe fewer slaves are imported into the Spanish Colonies. • But the Spa nish flag—the Spanish character are dangerous. They subject them to capture by our cruizers, and might, perhaps, to trouble with their own authorities ; and H ho, would run such risks, when the white flag of the Bour bons—the now-nam ed pride of France, is freely offered to protect every one who will engage in this career of rapine, murder, and death ? The infamous conduct of France in regard to the abolition—the blood shed by her, and under her protection in this devoted Continent, has caused a stain in her lily flag which all her former glory only renders more visible, and which all the waters of the ocean cannot wash out. ft might have been sup posed That the sufferings of. the last thirty years would have taught the present governing party in France, mercy. It has not done so. Let them take heed before it is too late, lest Ha, who, in the last instance, executed judgment in mercy, may leave them to their own de vices, and Fiance become the scene of atrocities, more hon id, if pos-ible, than those she is daily inflicting upon unhappy Africa. " The Slave Trade, under the French flag, has been increasing, without any attem;rt on the part of that Go vernment to prevent or punish it; indeed, from the zeal and violence with which the French Ministry took up the seizture of La Caroline, by Captain Grace, of the Cyrene (Danish property, under the French fl rg), we fear they are determined not only to protect their own subjects in this.4niquitous trade, but all wha choose to buy a set of papers and a piece of white banting in a French colony. They have, to be sure, a few cr niters about Senegal and Goree to protect their trade, and for , colonial purposes; and these, they state to the Powers of Europe, are cruizing 'against the Slave Trade; and in-cause no captures are made, they wish it to be be lieved no French Slave .Trade exists. We have often exposed the duplicity of the French Government and of their cruizers on this head: we have only now to state one fact. There have never been less than three or four vessels, under the French flag, slaving at the Gallinas and Shebar, at any one time during the last twelve months. 'fhe French authorities to windward—civil, military, and naval—knew this, yet not one capture has been made ; we believe not even a vessel of war was sent to look after them." EX FRACT OP A LETTER FROM TRINIDAD, JUNE 25. " The Order in Council respecting the treatment of slaves, which has given rise to so much discussion and re monstrance here, was put in force ye;terday, for the first time. I foresee infinite difficulties in the way of its com plete execution, and although the experiment is but just beginning to be tried, they are already springing up on all sides. The ambiguity of the order is such, and that even on very essential points, that the planters in general are at a loss how to act, and have memorialized the Governor for information, which it will puzzle him to give. To oblige the female slaves to work, new devices and punishments are recommended, and sanctioned by a proclamation published to-day, and among which I observe solitary confinement, field-stocks, handcuffs, collars, and padlocks; all punishments quite out of date, and some of them never before heard of in this colony. They will inevitably tend, in my opinion, to worry and disgust the negroes, as well as the proprietors, and to produce the worst feeling between them. In fact, the consequences will be injurious to all, and beneficial to none. I have already received a summons from the manager of one of my estates, to say that my presence is necessary on account of the insubordination of the gang, who have taktn it into their heads that they are how working for the King. I shall set off the.day after to-morrow in the steam-boat, with an order from the Governor to have the whole affair investigated by the Commandant. On my return, 'I shall inform you of the result of my expedition. Even if these matters are to proceed no further, and not to assume a more dangerous shape, where is compensation to be found for such em barrassing vexations, and such continued loss of time and labour ?" The following extract off' a recent letter From GuaBa loupe, of the authenticity of which we are assured, fur nishes proof of the enormous cruelties still exercised towards the wretched Africans. Ships of war are con stantly cruising against the slave-dealers, but they re gard it as nothing, and can always manage to arrive a t port ; indeed it may almo s t be s aid that t h e cru i sers pro tect them :—" The schooner La Louise, Capt. Armand, arrived at L'Anse ala Barque, Guadalonpe, early in the month of April, 1824, with a cargo of 200 negrees, the remainder of a purchase of 275, which she brought out with her. The vessel not being found to be suffi ciently capacious to contain so large a number, the surplus were thrown alive into the sea by the Captain. Nature still shudders at this atrocity. The principal owners are Mesirs. de Rattle and Co. and proprietors of the cargo, Messrs. Moser, Hart and Co. Pedemonte, all of them merchants at La Pointe a Petre. It is said that Captain Armand left at the Gallinas the ship Sabine, Captain Avernay, belonging to the port of Bourdeaux, armed at La Pointe a Petre by Messrs. Segend and Son ; the brig l'Auguste, Captain Allain, armed at La Pointe a Petre by Messrs. Verginis and Lemoyne, Dourneaa and Durlos, Lamoisse and Darnste, and Bartel and Colloniau ; and the schooner La Daphne, Capt. Mares tin; Messrs. Dourneau and Durlos, owners :. she also was armed at La Pointe a Petre. Hence it appears that the force established for the suppression of crime has tended to the, encouragement of it." 01le of the letters from Bogota, of the 9th of June, by the last arrival from Jamaica, states, that 5,000 men had been ordered to proceed from Carthagena. to Panama, to ieitiforce Bolivar, and that a levy of 5,000 more upon the upper provinces of Colnmbia was to take place iinmediattly. • 'Letters from BitOglia, of the 13th tilt. say, that during the first days of that month, many Turks lost their lives in consequence of an explosion of gunpowder, which took place in the magazine of theSeraskier, Derwich Pacha. • The details are not yet koown. The Greeks of Belgrade and Semlin, speak of new advantages ob tained by their countrymen in Thessaly. It appears that a Turkish column has been cut 'off at Thermopylw, and that Odysseus, who had for a short time evacuated the city of Athens, has retaken it. . Extract of a letter from Barbadoes, dated July it:— " The SUPERB, GANGES, and Scour, are now lying in the Bay. The Governor of Guadaloupe will allow no vessel to come nearer than nine miles from the coast, and 6ted on the EDEN a few days since. One of Ca ' van's (merchant of Barbadoes) ships has been detained, bound from Trinidad to Barbadoes. The BUSTARD has, sailed from hence to ascertain the particulars. The Barton arrived the 2d instant, the Hopie this morning. The rainy season has commenced, and we expect the large vessel will leave us very soon. Mr. COTTMAW, a subaltern of some years sanding in the army (60th re giment), died here, and was buried yesterday. He ar rived on the 16th ultimo from St. Bartholomew's." • 1 I P I l ~i
