ANOTHER REMARKABLE CURL Stockport, January 4, 1825. aENTLEMEN—'fIee following very remarkable VI Cure, performed by your ANTLSCOR !Stifle DROPS upon my daughter Sarah, cannot be too widely circulated. About four years ago she was attacked with a Scrofulous complaint in her left elutw, which extended its ravages until the joint was rendered entirely useless, and she hail several extensive ulcers on her arm : it afterwards affected her face and head in suck a degree, that it Was re.illy painful to look upon her, having large ulcers upon her head, face, and neck. Under these distressing circumstances, we tried every means within our power, having recourse to several eminent medical men, one of whom, a Practitioner in Liverpool, strongly advised amputation of the Arm, as the only means of saving her. When we were near despairing of relief, Mr. Samuel Smith, of this town, recommended us to try your Awriscoaauric !lion; and, incredibl e a s i t may appear , 1 h ave now the satisfac tion of informing you, thet by perseverance in their use, my daughter is completely restored to health.

When we are anxiously expecting the I emitinder of the message of the Secretary of Finsince, the public •tio of which commenced iu the last number of the ablve Paper, we were surprised on seeing it intett opted, from circumstances which are indistinctly stated, a Id which we could have wished had been c'early explained. among other reasons, in order that no one might venture to suppose that the executive had the least share is the , stopp.ige of its publication.* But cur astoaishment, l and that of every Colombian, a lover of his country, would not have been so great, if, instead of the ahoy. message, they had n t publis' ed the st•itenielit of Of receipts of the Nati-nal Treasury, and the estimates 0. the future expenditure, without an explanation of 11-,y kind. These documents, presented by themselves, are Ey nn means favourable to the Republic ; so far from it, indeed, that it is to be feared they may produce a disagreeab!e sensation in Europe. To do away a ith this as much as pus ible, and explain the real state of ings, we have thought the following observations might be serviceable to Colombia, to which we take V.e liberty of calling the attention of the public of Europe. The amount of the estimates of expenditure for the p;esent year, 182(1, in all the departments of adminis tration, is 13,487,719 Jillars Sirs. which, compated with the average amount of our revenue, which is 6,196,725 dollars 3rs. leaves an annual deficit of 9 230,994 do;larsoir. 7 hex fi 4 ores are certainly much against the republic ; but it is necessary to take into consideration, that the estimates are calculated for a period of active warfare, and on the supposition that all the branches of the administration be placed on the most complete footing of organization. The actual expenses during the year 1826 will not require 15,000,000 dollars, as we shall presently show, by a reference to the estimates, and by observations which have been kindly made to us by one of the mem bers of the committee of finance of the Chamber of Representatives. DEPARTMENT Ow FOREIGN APPAIRS.—This estimate amounts to 295,762 dollars, 7irs. and has been calcu- • lated on the supposition that all the Legations in Eu rope and America, Consulates, &c. be established ; but as, at this moment, there are only two Legations in Europe, and almost all those in America are served by. Charges d'Affaires, whose salaries are much less than those of Ministers, we conceive that the above sum may be reduced one half in a care of necessity or urgency, and consequently an expense saved of 142,331 dollars,4r. DEPAATMENT ow THE INTERIOR.—This estimate amounts to 621,431 dollars, Ir. but from it is to be de. ducted what is not paid to those Members of Congress for the;r{ravelling expenses, when they ate residents in. this city, which many of them are—the sums not paid to those members of Congress who fill any other civil, military, or ecclesiastical situation in the republic—the expenses of the Courts of Justice of the Orinoco, Zyulia, Apure, Magdalena, Cauca, and Guayaquil—and the pay of those military men who occupy the posts of In tendants or Governors of Provinces. We cannot exactly state the amount these several items produce, but it cannot be under 100,000 dollars. WAR DEPARTMENT.—The estimate amounts to 6,503,296 dollars, Ir. and the deductions to be made, as specified by the Secretary of this department, are the following :—From the extraordinary expences, a million of dollars, as there will be no use for them, if the Re public continues in its present state of internal tran quillity; the pay and rations of seven battalions now in Peru, 799,096 dollars, because so long as they remain there, there is no necessity to maintain them from our treasury; the pay and rations of five squadrons of ca valry, likewise in Peru, 197,940 dollars, for the same reason ; 350,000 dollars for cavalry rations, because this expense would only be incurred in the event of a campaign; 100,000 dollars, hospital expenses, as con-' tracts can be made upon more favourable terms, and' sickness is not so likely to prevail among the troops; 100,000 dollies, pay of those officers who may retire from the service, as the nation need not maintain gteater armed force than is necessary; 2 0,000 dollars, the pay of four battalions, which have been allowed for in case they should be required to complete our army, with war establishment; as likewise 300,000 dollars, which are deducted in consequence of other battalions not having their full complement. These several items , amount to 2,987,036 dollars, independent of the sums sshich are nut paid to general officers who form part of the Administration. DILPA itThIENT OF THB NAVY. —This e.tinute amounts to 4,809,077 dollats 41 rs. from which a million and a hall of dollars may be deducted, as all the vessels of war which have been estiinved for are not yet fit lot service, and the etimates for damages, repairs, &c. may bu over-rated. fhPARTMENT Off .FINANCE.--Heie the only deduc tion that can be made is in the sum for the pyinent of interest on the foreign debt; for as, during the last two years, a capital of 600,000 dollars has been paid oft; there is 36,000 dollars less to pay. Total amount of sums to be deducted: Dollars. Foreign affairs 142,531 4 interior • 100,000 0 . • • . . War • 2,987,036 0 • .

All the other messages have already been printed. Remark—An error in the Addition of 100,000 doll.as. RESPONDENT. • This case, which was postponed a few weeks sinceon the ground of informality in the proceedings, was opened to-day before the LORD CHANCELLOR. A property of neatly 20,0001. a year depends upon the issue. The uncle of the respondent, the lite James Earl of Fife, died in the year 1809, possessed of a large entailed property, besides extensive estates, which he held in fee simple.— The disposal of these estates formed the subject of vat ions deeds of settlement, executed at different times, during several years preceding his death. By a trust deed, exe cuted at Duff House on the 7th of October 1808, his whole let...simple estates were disposed to certain trus tees, of whom the appellant is one. This disposal of his property arose from some cause of dissatisfaction with his nephew. The testing clause of that deed is in these words-411n witness whereof, these presents writ ten on this and the three preceding pages of paper, lea gaily stamped, are subscribed by me, at Duff House, the 12th day of November 1808 years, before these wit nesses, Alexander F. Williamson and George Wilsan, at Duff House." James E srl of Fife died on the 6th of January 1809, and was succeeded in his titles and family entailed estates by his brother Alexander, the late Earl of Fife, who was, however, excluded by the trust deed, from all enjoyment of the trust estates ; and. who permitted the trustees to enter into the possession . and administration of these estates without challenge. —Earl Alexander survived his brother more than two years, and died in 1811. By' his death, the succession devolved on his eldest son, the respondent. He also allowed the settlements of his uncle and the possession of the trustees to continue undisputed for several years. In the year 1814, however, nearly six years after the death of Earl James, he raised an action for setting aide the deeds aiready mentioned. - The grounds of reduction may be stated as resolvi 1g into four heads. 1. That Lord Fife, at the time of executing the deeds, vi as blind to such a degree as to be incapable of dis tinguishing objects. That in respect of that blindness, it was legally incompetent for him to execute such deeds by his own subscription ; and that he could only perform such a legal act by t')e intervention of two notaries and four witnesses. 2. That Earl James was assisted in making his subscription to the said deeds.— S. That the deeds had not been read over to James Earl of Fife at the time if his signing them. 4. That one of the instrumentary witnesses did nat see the granter subscribe, nor hear him acknowledge his subscription. This inquiry was the subject of various proceedings in the Courts of Scotland, down to 1823 ; the result of which, declaratory ef the invalidity of the trust deed, was favourable to the claim of Lord Fife.— In 1823, the appellant brought the judgment of the Courts below, in so fit as they were untavourable to him, under the review of the House of Lords, who, after heating Counsel for eight days, sent the case back again, ordering the Court of Session to direct an issue, to try whether the instruments of trust disposition and deed of entail, both dated tl,e 7th day of October IEOB, sought to be reduced, being in raw probat've instruments were not, or either of them, was not the deeds or deed of the Earl of Fire ? The issue was accordingly direct ed, and the trial took place on the 9.h March 1825. • The single objection which the pursuer, the Earl of Fife,attempted to establisli,was the non-ac kaowledgment by the Earl of Fife, of his subscription of the trust. deed and deed of entail, of the 7th day of Octiber, 1808, to George Wilson, the instrumentary witness who had not seen him subscribe. Vali rus witnesses were called to make out that negative; and on the part of the appellant it was maintained that, independently of the insufficiency of the evidence, the non-acknowledgment by the Earl. even if proved, was not in itself fatal to the validity of the deeds. The Lord Chief-Commissioner, the presiding Judge, laid it down to the Jury, that the absence of acknowledgment was of itself latal to the deeds. The Jury found that, in respect of the matters proven before them, they find that the instruments of trust-disposition and deed of entail, both dated the 7th of October, 1808, were not the deeds of the Earl of Fife. On the part of the appellant, an exception was taken to the direcoon of the Lord Chief-Commissioner, on the following ground That the Lord Chief Commisiuner did direct the Jury, if they were satisfied that the evidence given, on the part of the pursuer, established that the granter of the deed had not acknowledged his subscrip. Lion to the witness, who di,l not see him subscribe the said deed, to find, by their verdict, that the said deed WAS not the deed of the Earl of Fife; and did then and there tell the jury, that the law reqaired, in cases in which a witness does not see the granter of a deed sign the deed, that he must ack , losledge his subscription to such witness, othrrw ise the (iced is void in law, and therefore is not the deed of the granter.
