HE,herb, coltsfoot hss long been distinguished for its 11 exeeirent properties in the cure of Coughs and other Pulmo nary Complaints; and this Spence has. in the course of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs and all Dhottieri .6f the Lungs. It gently opens the breast, and immediately gives liberty'uf breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus it affords great teller in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which provokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glandl, rekzes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities , of the vessels. Thus it-will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals Rawness atiitSoreness of the Chest. This Pacroaat *.suca is prepared by James Ryan, Surgeon , in Bristol; and slid in bottles at 21. 9d. and ss. 6d. each, by F• Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church:yard ; J.

From the Moniteur. PETBRIIIBURG, Nov. 29. Though peace is made, and there is no appearance that we shall soon have an enemy to combat, the new levy of recruits is exe cuted with as much rigour is last year, and the troops employed in the late war will remain in their cantonments in Bulgaria, the Principalities, and Bessarabia. There are persons who affirm that the Powers are not yet agreed respecting the limits and the Go vernment of Greece. Perbsps M. Mitusehcwitz, who is expected every moment, will put an end to aU uncertainty on the subject. From the Quotidienne. Mratco.—The following letter trona Vera Cruz has been com municated to us. It gives no explanation respecting the surprising,:„A conduct of Barradas; but it will appear that if the independence of Mexico has received some additional probability from late events, its internal tranquillity is more compromised than ever. 1, Vera Crux, Oct. 12, 1829. " It is with the greatest surprise that we learned here how the Spanish expedition had yielded to a handful of undisciplined, ill armed, and ill-commanded militiamen. The mystery which still envelopes so unexpected an event may be cleared up one day, and you win then know what ought to be thought of a military event which unfolds itself so suddenly, and after some interviews between two Commanders opposed to each other.

If t►ese acts would have a tendency to put an end to the long-continued persecutions, and re-establish tranquillity, I should sigh for the moment when other Foreign Powers came to the same resolution; but that is not to be expected amid such incongruous elements.

In fine, on this subject I shall not dwell, because something is occurring, and one should have but little time for any thing else. A report which gains ground is, that the prisonen, in concert with the guard on duty (a company of the 224 Regt. of Infantry,) have escaped from Valence, and an embarked at Caminha. On Wednesday Gen.

They came ne Visas, owing to the weather. • Many were in commencing, and wben they arrived were detained fon half an hour, waiting for the President of the Alcada's order to be received. On Sunday last 10 prisoners arrived from Almeida. It Is reported bare that the Empress Queen wishes or intends being present at King Ferdinand's mar riage. Should this be the case, her Imperial Majesty's accom paniment to the frontiers will be very brilliant; but I should re. ther think "the King" would not go. I have just heard that the 4th and 19th infantry received " ordem de prevensao pare marche —previous notice for marching. The time is unseasonable, there fore many conjecture that it is nothing more than a trick to keep them quiet when the daps is discontinued; for on marches they never receive it. The deduction from their pay will be 10 refs (in stead of 110 rels they will receive but 70 rein)—that is, they will receive 50.

Prat's by this reputation, whether well p► ill acquired, he affected, open his arrival In the capital, a very impesieus language towards the Pre sident Guerrero, and all the Members of Government. He exacted the dismissal of Ministers, and named himself his own creatures to replace them.

The following anecdote of Napoleon, which has never been hitherto published, may be relied on as authentic : The obligation imposed on British subjects resident in St. Helena to address Bonaparte by no other title than that of " General," presented a serious obstacle to a private audience of the illustrious exile, as be, it is well known, invariably refused to dispense with the honours due to him as an Emperor. More than one of the garrison, however, obtained secret admittance to Napoleon by conceding a title so naturally expected. Colonel —, an Irish officer of great gallantry, and a veteran in service, among others, made interest with Marshal Bertrand to gratify his curiosity, who at length introduced him to his imperial master. Napoleon was seated, covered, and dressed in his ordinary uniform, a dark green double breasted coat, turned op with white, to which the tri colour and star of the Legion of Honour were the only ornaments suspended. He received the visitor with all the dignity of the TuUleries, but graciously inclined his bead in acknowledgment of his salutation. The " General," by counes y, immediately In. quired into his birth-place, his term of service, and his campaigns, with the rapid manner and quick articulation fee which be was habitually remarkable. On being saddled in these particulars, be expressed surprise that he bad not been more speedily promoted, and intimated that an officer in the imperial service would have been better provided for. He thou adverted to Egypt, and silted why the British Army had so long procrastinated their disem barkadon at Alexandria? Colonel ..----. answered that they were apprehensive of the surf, which ran high upon the coast, as the weather was at that time very tempestuous. " That." cried be with animation, " was no reason, you ought to have risked more din that to sleet a quicker landing, when the time was of such Importance." Napoleon was now insensibly descending from his bingfals, and becoming more unreservedly collogilat, when an un hay blunder on the 0811 of the officer at once cut short an interti vie* which might otherwise have taken a very Interesting tuin.— Ilse &meter, it appears, was always sensitively j'ealeus of 04 dente his novel expedient of mounting part of the French Ns* opus dromedaries in Egypt. Military men are divided as e elt mess'; but, bo that now as it may, it was generally and . ' as a versos:al Ahoy and as such resented it. Colonel ------, Ant being &warrior the danger atteadint on mooting so delicate • subject, was quite unprepared for the storm of displeasure be sows involuntarily excited. Accordions, when. Bonaparte interrogated bins concerning the opinion which !be Illoctisii entertaitied of the Pea* afro; in Egypt, expecting, dositba, a inerited encomium on the discipline and One appearance of MIS troops. the Irish of& sir unsuspicioissliersininenied Witt% 0.14.0, sir s we were pawl; milady struck with the figure which. your Majesty's dromedary 4 4 , cf pr....."7. : .'! l Foutre!" reared out the irritated Napoleon As i z il l ei l t r s wilebb:hadignatioa, and turning round upon kis else t• ariy sithsequist cOncesdna or apology. Ilia ns I:llasikeisiernid grew haughty and annpuititit, and in:e.few mi , tesami after the siwooseirms sander wee bowed irat'of the apart! . joust. „It is limost osperlissesse to add, that the conversation was, of course, conducted in French. While Santa Anna reforms the Government thus, and expels both Ministers and beads of office, he affects to talk of retiring. He says he wishes to retire to his hacienda ; but no one is duped by this false disinterestedness. If this ambitious man goes Into retirement, it is for the purpose of being fetched back front thence, and to be told that his inactivity is a public calamity—that the Mexicans Im plore him to take charge of their destinies. Then no doubt will Santa Anna sacrifice his repose to the public good, and.will deign to take hold of the reins of Government ; but upon suck conditions that the pretended Republic of Mexico will find itself governed by an absolute Sovereign. Some people think that Santa Anna is the Agent of the Government of the United States, which bas a ban kering after Mexico and its ports in the South Seas." The Prince Abbot of Sc. Gall died on the Sth instant at the Cdnvent of Mori, bequeathing to the poor, and to religious founds- , clone, the remains of a fortune that had been always devoted to them. - From the Gazette de France.
