FROM THE VIENNA GAZETTE.--VICINCht g)I.IIE6NI Ilta born in Lonato, in the Province of Brescia, of as lsonourable family of easy fortune. His parents spared no expence in giving him a good education. The first rudiments were given him in Verona, from whence he afterwlrds went to the University a Pa dua, where the Degrees of Doctor of civil and crimi -411 Law were conferred on him. His family after this sent him to Venice, to exercise there the profesion of a Lawyer. Being on the point of completing his education, the revolution happened at Venice ; on which he declared against the Jacobins and BONA TARTE. He wrote a Periodical Journal, which con tained a censure on the events of the times ; on which a:count, receiving a public insult from VuLcrikno, • Secretary a nd Agent of BONAPARTE, he fired a Pistol I at his breast: this, to ether with the subject of . his writings, sletermi n ed .B oN ipARTE to condemn him 4:6 death; which caused him to fly to the Mountains of Tusuuy.. Venice being ceded to the Halite of Atls r via, he returned thither and wrote and published 3 Paniphlet, entitled " The Romans in Greece? and ''hen bras afterwards, a nother, called t' tVlernoTable I l y e" d the French Republic !J' and' 'Some tittle i after, " The Solitary of the Alps," and also a v 6 hime 01" Obierrations on Painting and Sculpturii" then his oft* on " The Revolution of the Venetian Re public." On his arrival at Vienna, he wrote a work on the Luxemburg and on Shombrun, the mann script .of which is in the hands of the gmpress.

CONI6IISNIONER. 4 . APPOINTED TO ENQUIRE AND EXAMINE INTO TUE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE. ARMY MEDIAL tIeTARTMENT. THE EXPENDITURE. ( Coniifturd frvn Ike SrAtt of Wednesday Inst.) Ift addition. to the quantities of medicines, surgical instruments and materials; and stores, which have been furnished by the 'Apothecary C.:iteral for the immediate use of General and Regimental Hospitals, large quantities have been also furnished by him, on the recommendation of the Surgeon General, to certain established depots, as' a reserve for the calls of the ser vice. Some of tnese depots of medicines and purveyor's stores, with distinct establishments, have been formed abroad, where the propriety ef such a provision may , be admitted; but many more have been formed at home, with a foresight of which the propriety is very doubtftiL - In .a term), communicated to us by tlia,Surgeon- General, it appears that there are at this time ten of these depots on foreign service, besides two with exile ditions, all of which are.under the.charge of.an apothe cary,,or• some other superior officer ; and them are at this time also nine depots, including two at Guernsey and Jersey, on the home service. It is stated in this return, that the depot at Barbadoes is considerable, in consequence of the number of dependencies within its, supply as are those of Porchester C istle near Poipmputh, and York Hospital at Chelsea, " as Well t' 111 consideration of an order that . there should be " supplies for 10,000 men constantly in readiness at " each of these latter l)epots, as of the receipts on the breaking. up of the 'R eg imental Depots for In vasion in 1805, and the addition of those returned 44 from the Continent in 1806." In a subsequent Return rrom the Surgeon General, we find, that there were' four of the Home Depots Ifornied lay order of his Royal ffii,ihness the Comman der inthief in 1798, to each yf which the Establish ment consisted of one Physician, one Surgeon, one Apothecary, and one Deputy Purveyor ; these were ' discontinued, however, in 1799. But in 1801, four teen new Depott • were formed in different arts of England, on the recommendation of the. Surgeon General. At three of them, where there were also General Hospital Establishments, some one er more of the officers belonging thereto took charge of them ; to the other s, one Medical Officer was attached. Ail these depots were discontinued on the conclusion of peace, by order. of the Commander in Chief. In 1803 . and 1804, the Surgeon General recommended tket formation of forty depots in England, which mail , niendation, he states, was approved - by the Conneaut. ,der in Chief. Where there were general hospital, establishments fwhich, as we have before noticed, .was sometimes the case at places where there were no 'hospital's) the depots were in the charge of the officers and servants belonging to those establishments. — Other medical depots were under the charge of Messrs. Trotters. The remain er had, as is stated in the re turn, " a stifficient number of Medical Officers and servants for theduty ;" but " the various alterations which hav t e been made in respect of the depots, did not permit. the Surgeon General to give a specific re turn of - hem." The same cause would probably pre-. vent . = actitrate return of - the expenceof the transport of.the stores to those depoti, and of the rents, &c.— but it maybe imagined that these expellees, and the salaries, of the persons employed at them, could not, hut have been of very great amount. • these depots have been from time to time reduced, and there are now depots only at Porchester Castle, at the York Hospital, and at Falmouth ; all of which furnis'.. supplies for foreign service. In respect to the proprietrof forming these depots abroad, Mr. Young thinks that they are indispensably necessary in the West Indies. But Dr. Jackson (to whom we again refer, because he appears to have had very great experience in Army Medical practice, and to support his opinion by very just reasoning) rather recommends the mode of purchase on the spot, when 'the station of the troops, or the scene of the war,. is hist in a civilised country. This, he says, would be simple and economical, because, although the money price be high, no more would he purchased than is 'actnally wanted ; and it would be sufficiently certain too, because in suck situations, those articles which are usually wanted are rarely found to fail in the 'market. B.tit we hare the derisive opinion of Dr. Borland on the impropriety of the formation of the large 'depots• of medicines which tank place on the expecta 'than of invasion in 1803—he says, " that the measure was unwise and unneccessary, because every town in 'the kingdom could have furnished the required supply of those articles." Whether he be correct in this :opinion or not, there can be no doubt, as he also states, " that when the actual erlgencies of the ser vices 'required it,' the quantity wanted might have been easily procured . from London, and thereby the treat expense of the depots, and the great loss from andperishing of the medicines, might have Men. nyokied." - r It ought not to be alledged, in answer to the ob lietts truth of this opinion, that it might have been difficult for the Apothecary General to have furnish ed the requisite supply on a sudden demand. The certainty of the very great expence of such a measure, and the uncertainty of the actual want of any part of the large quantities of articles which were tints laid up in store, ought to have outweighed any consider ation of accommodation to the . Apothecary General. The consequence of this measure has been, that Ltliere is now in store at the two depots at Chelsea and Porchester Castle such a quantity of Medicines, In. struments, and materials 'of all kinds, as it will be difficult to dispose of advantageously. The loss which has already occurred from injury to the articles ap, pears, from Dr. M'Oregor's evi4en . ce, to in very considerable at Porchestel Castle. We wishe4 tp hare given, generally, intelligible accounts of the quantities now in store at the depots we have named, and at that in' the Isle of Wight,; but as the greater part of the articles are what are f‘ loose," (i. e.) nqt arranged. according to certain proportions or numbers Of men) this could' scarcely be done. We have given, however, in the Appendix, an *tract Of the Medical Stores at the York Hospital; and it appears froin toe evidence of the' A pothecary ot that HOspit4l, • that there are in it .tieodivisions eeinpleto for 2500 !nen each, and that l with-some little assist s re fronr the Army Elibcri l , tory, they eould complete.seykral Other divisions. • Dr. Isteregor 'states, that" at Ptilthester Castle Depot there are Medicines sufficient.foi about 30,000 men, and Purveyors Stores for a much greater num ber. This return from the Isle of Wight shewed very large quantities also ; but we cannot pretend to state for how many iten they may be calculated. But the quantity of instruments in store is much more disproportionate to the. probable wants of the Army than the quantity of Medicines or Purveyors Stores. At the York Hospital Depot there were, on the did Mat;ch, 1807, upwards of 801 full and portable sets of v.itat are called " Capital Instruments," with upwards of 1300 " full and small sets of Pocket In strument s." At the Depot in the Isle of Wight there are also some instruments, and at the Porchester Cas tle Depot, Dr. M'Gregor believes there were, in July 1807, alioVe SOO sets of capital instruments, together with many loose articles of instruittents. In October 1807, Mr. Keate transmitted an ac count of instruments belonging to the public, in which it r.ppeared that 794 sets of capitals iind portables were then in store, apd that 604 sets were then on services We shall make no observation on the mode. in which. Mr. Keate propoies to dispose of the instruments in store, but refer to the document in the Appendix. .leis remarkable that, notwithstanding instruments to.the.value .of eighteen thousand pounds were pro vided, in 1801 and 1802, at the close of the last war, and for whic h it may therefore be presumed there could have been little immediate use-, instruments for which neatly eighteen thousand pounds more Was 'charged, were provided in. 1801, at the breaking out of the present war. We observe' too, that the charge for the repair of instruments in the same year, amounts to one thouslnd four hundred and fifty pounds. We conclude, therefore, on both accounts, that the quan tity of instruments in store in that year must have been very considerable. Yet it appears that since this period above 100 full sets of capital, and above 500 portable sets of capital instruments, have been 'vided for the public service. . pro , In answer to our inquiries on this subject, the Sur geon-General states, that " in 1804, 400 sets were specially ordered by the Inspector-General for the Volunteers, which were of a different des:ription from those appropriated for foreign service ; and as "the removal of the number of instruments in store would have rendered the divisions arid chests incom plete for service, it was judged more proper to leave the divisions complete, as the orders express." He further adds, " that a double pi oportion of instru. meats should always be in store ; for if 50 sets on fo reign stations require repair, 50 more must be sent and received before the others can be returned ; and he observes, that instruments require much time in their completion, and that they cannot be properly repaired but in London. Before we proceed to offer any suggestions for the future management of the supply usually provided by the Apothecary-General, it will be proper that we. should notice the course observed by the Ordnance and Transport Boards, in providing Medicines, die t for the departments under their management. The Medicines for the Ordnance service since 1797 have been procured of a druggist (Messrs. Howards" whose pries ifor they do not supply them on con. -tract at Axed prices.) are checked by Dr. Rollo, the Surgeon-General of the Ordnance, resident at Wool wich ; he is, guided in his judgment by what are call 4 ed " Price Books," obtained from the trade. He certifies at the foet of the bills which we have seen, " that the orders. for the Medicines charged in them appear to be correct, the qualities 'of the Medicines good; and that the prices, so far as he knows, are agreeable to the wholesale rates." The accounts for the Medicines are delivered in quarterly, and are ;Lis charged according to the usual course of the Ord nance. The Medicines are , sent either to Wool*ieb or to the Tower, whence they are forwarded to the different stations of the Artillery, on demands made by the several Ordnance Surgeons, approved by the Surgeon General and Ordnance Chemist. Previous, however, to their going from the druggists, they are inspected by the apothecary or chemist belonging to ,the Ordnance ; and those which go to WceAwich are again examined by the Apothecary, Who has been recently appointed on the recommendation of the pre sent Inspector General. . Such bf the chemicals as are preFred by the druggists are, as, a check on them, analized there ; but some of the preparations are made at Woolwich. Theexpenditure of the medicines is examined and checked by the Surgeon General, the Assistant Sur. geon General, and the Apothecary of the Department; whO, in the first instance, also centrnul all the medical accounts of the Department. These are finally exa mined by the surveyor 'General of the Ordnance. The amount of the bills for medicines supplied by Messrs. Howards to the Ordnance, during the year 1804, is two thousand nine hundred and fifty-s'or pounds nine shillings and three pence ; and three tiro& sand eight. hundred - and silty- nine pounds five shillings and ten pence for 1805. During this period there were about twenty thousand men belonging to this Department, and 8.500 horses, for whose use medi ' eines were provided! Medicines for the use of the navy are procured by the Transport Board from the Apothecaries Company. No one on the part of the Transport Board inspects them hefore they are sent off to the Hospitals, or su perintends the. packing of them. But the Master . 'and Wardens of the Company certify that the drUgs and medicines mentioned in the invokes are the best that could be had ; and the persori belonging to the Cam.' pasty wbo superintends the packing, makes an affi; davit before the Lord Mayor that the articles nien tioned in the invoice were really put up, and delivered for the use of the several Hospitals and Ships therein mentioned, arid that they were of the best quality that Gould 11.: had.
