SSOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so en raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded ; and " The Spectator" has aflirmed, that the word wife is the must agreeable and delightful name in nature. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the desideratum of our enjoyment, teeming not only with happiness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, se entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed on it. To the neglect of such atten don are attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-repreach. Luxurious babas will effeminlze the body, a residence in the Tropics will relax the elastic fibre, but mere especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago nixed sufferer more than doubts the c hance of relief. To an such, then, we, address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscu lar strength, felicity; nor will our advances appear qaestionable, .sectioned as they are by_ the multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience. ' The easy cares of married life are tome times disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which con.. centrate the nuptial wreath; for the female habit is often coned. tutionally weak, yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved Into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relax ation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the un. feeling empyric from the position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation ; and co*. Edam in our own honourable integrity, as Members of the Col lege of Surgeons, we refer the suffering community of either sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life), at once to our house, where daily attendance is giVen fur personal conceit union, and letters from the country are immediately answered, these must contain a remittance for advice and medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the wend, however distant.

CONSTANTINOPLE, NOVEMBER 25. • The Porte has been obliged to pay some attention to the complaints brought against Veli Pacha. He has lost the Government of Livadia, and obtained in its stead that of Lepanto. Soliman Pacha, of Le panto, goes in the same quality to Livadia ; and Selim Seri Pacha, to Salonichi. The troubles .in Diurbekir are appeased ; the Pacha has returned to the city, and the instigators of the revolt will be punished with the utmost rigour. Less favourable•acconnts have been received from Aleppo, where Hormid Ahmed Pacha; formerly Grand Vizier and subduer of Servia, with difficulty escaped the swords lifted against him. The oppres sions of all kinds laid to his charge, have excited the greatest indignation amongst Janissaries and Scherifs, who are for the most part - Emirs. They renounced all obedience to him, and the furicus populace pro ceeded with cries of rage to the Palace of the Go vernor, where they put every person they found to the sword. The Pacha himself escaped, and placed himself at the head of the troops, who remained faithful to him, with whose aid he is resolved to be siege the city, and subdue the insurgents. The fate of the Armenians, who had been con cerned in the destruction of the Mint, is not, yet de- cided ; but the plague has penetrated into their pri son ; one of them is dead, and the others are infected. The Grand Seignior N still at his Summer Palace of Beshicktash. fhe continuance of mild weather, and still more the plague, which has penetrated even into the Seraglio, are the causes of his nrt returning to his Winter Palace. This dreadful malady con tinues to spread. Almost every one of the Ministers of the Pone has some persons sick of the plague . among hid people, and the cases of plague will soon be as numerous as in 1812. Among the Franks they are even more numerous than they were at that time. it OLIN, JANUAttit 1. The official, Gazette publi,hes to-day, an Ord++ addressed by the King to the Minister of the Interior and of War, which makes several modifications in the organization of the Landwehr. The number of battalions attached to each regiment of the line is reduced from four to three. After giving the Order at length, the Gazette adds the following reflections: " The contents of this Cabinet Order will suffice to shew the 'worth of the sinister reports, circulated partly by the public papers and partly in the circles of the capital and in the provinces, as if the Land wehr were on the point of experiencing, if net a total dissolution, at least an entire change, tending to the same end, and which, it was even pretended, had been concerted with Austria. The truly Fatriotie institution of the Landwehr is a creation of the King's own free will. His Majesty has experienced from it the biavery, the devotedness, the fidelity of his people, in a Moment of the most Imminent danger. If it had been necessary to strengthen the bond of union between the Throne , and the People, the Landwehr would have done it. The / . ;rovinces have had repeated proofs of the King's satisfaction with the zeal evcrq where displayed in the establish ment of this institution, partly from his Majesty's own mouth, partly in writing. Calumny alone ca'i form or spread the idea, that his Majesty intended such a change in the Landwehr as would draw 'idler it an entire alteration in the whole of our present mi.. litany system. Tile only changes to he made,_iis we see, will be in the external organization, the object of which is partly economy, and partly the simpli fication of the mechanism for he more speedy em ployment of the men; in.case• of a sudden drawing together of the troops. * The essence of the institution is so far from being .affected, that those changes in the organiiation will, contribute to accelerate its perfection.". • RILIEF TO THE POOR The LORD MAYOR, immediately after the Meets ing at Mr, HICKS . S \Warehouse, held:yesterday, dish patched a letter to Lord SIDMOUTII, statintihat he had been given to understand, th at at `former pe= riod of great inclemency of weather, Goernment had supplied the Poor with covering from .a city of old stores ; . that a Meeting had taken place in the City, for the - purpose 6f relieving the ex Wing distresses of the Poor, and that if the Committee appointed to manage the subscriptions collected with that Nievi, were assisted by the same povrerfut , and I benevolent hand whic h was extended upon t h e 9ccit• sion alluded to, a most iMpOrtant se rv i ce w ou ld b e rendered to th ose unfortunate persons, who seemed destitute of every thing in life. To this application Lord SIDKOUTII replied, that be was not aware that there were any old stores in the hands of Govern. ment ; but that if it was found, upon inquiry, that there were, they should certainly be applied to the commendable purposes for which 'the Meeting had assembled, and to which' they had contri§nted. In the early part of yesterday, the Secretary to the .Seamen's Committee, so well known for its -extritor• dinary exertions since the establishment of peace, waited upon the LORD MAYOR, and informed him, that he was instructed by the Committee to aSSOTE his Lordship, that their exertions should not be want ing at . this time of pressing e x i genc y. Of l ate t h e Committee had to attend merely to the applications of the sick, those who were able to work baying, tin• til within a very short time, been supplied with ships. The Secretary observed, that In consequence of the severity of the season, numbers of seamen were out of employment, the frost having effectually prevented the vessels from working out of dock, and the Committee had come to a determination, until those difficulties were removed, to co-operate with the efforts lust commenced for the bene fi t of those who were without the means of suraining life. It was observed, on the part of the LORD MAYOR, that this co-operation would tend to increase the public confidence in the exertions of the City for the relief of the necessitous. The great activity and zeal of the benevolent at the East end of the town, would no doubt lead to a generals competition, in the most Fashionable and elevated Ranki of Society in the opposite direction ; and the general apprehension entertained, with respect to the boundless extent of pauperism, would soon disappear. It was stated by Mr. WONTNER, the City Marshal, that four-fifths of those who were now in the Asylum for the Houseless, were seamen, and that many of them were under orders, but the severity of the sea son, which had checked other employments, left them also without the means.. or opportunity of sup. potting themselves. It was at once admitted, by the Secretary to the Seamen's Society, that this was the case, and the LORD MAYOR was assured by him, th at very f ew instances of deception or laziness had been discovered lately, amongst the applicants. Indeed for the last six months it had been found unnecessary to make complaints to the Magistrates 4 with respect to those who claimed upon - the Committee. The Committee considered the Warehouse for the protection of the wanderers, as particularly favour-Able to the-labori ous class of his Majeity's subjeco; with which their labours were connected, the ship in the River, for the accommodation of" p( or sailors, being now com pletely Ali', and nothing having presented itself un til Mr. Himcs's premises were oilered. It was with no small degieF2 of pleasure that the Loan MAYOR received the intelligence that this Com. ntittee intended to co-operate with that of which he was appointed President. The valuable addition 'would, in his Lord.iiip's opinion, in conjunation with those other benevolent Societies which were always heard of in times of disci.ess, be acknowledged by 1 the lately-formed Institution, with every mark of i approbation. ~ - _.~,.-c • .1 .
