Among these there are some which have maintained their claim to distinction for a long period of time, and have commanded approbation u real at,',.litions to the general stock : the CORDIAL BALM of GI LEAD says claim to this distinction, as no remedy has hitherto been discovered which proves so generally beneficial in disorders of the nervous system and of the digestive organs. In trembling of the limbs, palpitation of the heart, vertigo,fiatulence, lowness of spirits, and general debility, and in the symptoms of a cold, bilious, and consumptive habit, its efacacy is very great.

In England, however, oar anthers seldom fail to produce what may be fairly termed English ; but rate language of the Americau writers is not always entitled to the same denomina tion, The use /of words by some persons in a parti cular sense, to which others attach a different mean ing, has sometimes a very ludicrous effect. In this manner the word awful is used in America to signify anything wl:icji.creates surprise; and we rather think that in the Scotch dialect a similar meaning is at, tached ter. it. Pickering, in his Vocabulary, tells us, that in New England many people would call a disagreeable medicine awful; an ugly woman, an awful-looking woman; 4 perverse child that die obeys his parents would also be said to behave are - fay. Indeed, everythill that creates surprise is awful. What ar awful wind awful hill ! awful mouth! 'awful nose! In a similar manner they per vert the.word balance, (and, if we are to believe their commercial rivals, the thing itself), using it for re mainder: thus they would say, " I spent a part of the evening at a friend's house, and the balance at home. Half the enethy were killed, and the balance taken prisoners." What a specimen is this last sen tence of the attachment of the Americans to com merce! Besides giving a new seise to old words, the Americans have been very ingenious in the in vention of new ones, some of them • formed on the basis of old words, and others of a completely novel nature. Thos, for diminish, Mr. Jefferson uses be little; an author is called a composuist; instead of a country being compromised, it -is compromitted ; so we find Christianization, constitutionality, con sternated, customable, g overnmental, dutize, guber natorial, happKying, ngthy, and a thousand other similar improvements. At the meaning of these .Ivords, however,, we can make a tolerable guess, for we hear something like them at home ; but whe n we hear of reluct, and scow, and slangtahangeP, and squiggle, and dusk, and sguiam, it certainty makes us look very awful, Anglice, we feel somewhat sat.- prised."—Nett Monthly Magazine, Dec. 1820.

Her Royal Highness the Princess Marianne, who has been seriously indisposed for several days, is now recovering. • FRANKFORT DECEMBER 15 ___ In our Diplomatic Circle a chief subject of con versation is an intimate alliance which is now form ing between France and Great Britain ; and it is hoped that this great alliance between these two great Powers, which have been hitherto enemies and rivals, will exercise the happiest influence for the maintenance of peace, and to prevent ambitious-pro jects. For if we may believe the reports of all kinds which have been for some time in ch. - ciliation, the political horizon is not free from clouds : but the wise policy and energy of some Cabinets will find meanslo avert the evil with which we seem to be threatened. DECEMBER 16.—1 t is asserted that the late events •at the Escurial, and the energy with which the Con stitutional Authorities of Spain have addressed their remonstrances, King Ferdinand has caused the Em peror of Russia to Change his views of the Constitu tion of the Cortes, which is adOpted by the kingdoar of the Two Sicilies. This Monarch now considers if-- as entirely incompatible with the Monarchical Sys tem, and it is said, that the object of the second and last Message sent to Naples, is to demand that mo difications of the highest importance should be made in it. It is generally believed, that the Neaportins will not have laws imposed upon them by foreigners, -and that if they must yield they will yield only to - force, after having made honourable efforts to assert their independence.

DECEMBER 11.—The EmperorW ill remain atTrop- - pan till the return of the answer of the King of Naples to the proposals made to hiin. It is of timed, that he has been invited to defer the further de. velopement of the Constitutional System established in his dominions till he has heard the opiniofli of the Allied Sovereigns. Here we are in general persuaded, that the proposed Congress will not take place - this winter,.and there are reasons to suppose, that it will be concerted for next Spring. It is thought that Florence will be proposed as the place of Meeting. It is also thought certain, that the Emperor of Rus. sia will sewn set out on his return to St. Petersburg)), where he intends to bp presept at thefetes usually celebrated on New Year's Day. • A piece of land in Nottingham, the rental of which is only £156, has paid, during the last year, £3BB for Poor ltates alone!

Since the fashion of Curling the Hair has become so general both to Ladies and Gentlemen, it may not be amiss to point out its danger in destroying that ornament—a fine Head of Hair, The use of the irons makes the hair dry and harsh, and it lima all, its native lustre and elasticity. To counteract this, " ATKINSON'S CUR,LINO FLUID," bas long stood pre-eminent; and its general adoption by the Nobi lity raises it above any imputation of quackery.
