VINCENT'S GONVLAND'S LOTION preserves the Skin and Complexion in pure whit nest and healthy bloom, against every assailment of Time, Climate, and Defect; eradicates all Eruptions, Tan, Sun burn, or Redness ; imparts to the Face a •roseate bloom, and sustains the attractions of loveliness and beauty to a remote period of life. It gives immediate and soothing relief in cases of parched skin, stings of insects, or any in flammation ; it allays the smarting irritability of the skin, producing a delightful and pleasing coolness truly comfort able and refreshing, and thus prevents those disorders which disorganise the beauty of the female countenance. It imparts a matchless and pleasing appearance to the com plexion, preserving firmly the fascinations of loveliness, and guards them against decay to a remote period of life. Mrs. VlNchsrs GOW LAND'S LOTION is patronized by all the Female Nobility of England, and recommended by some of the most eminent Physicians. riiHE REAL PEARL MILK is the only Cosmetic in the World that prevents the face, neck, arms, and hands, becoming wrinkled; and what is more remarkable, if a Lady or Gentleman begins to be wrinkled through advance in years, or from Illness, which is often the case, the real Pearl Milk is so soothing and softening to the skin, that by a few times using it the wrinkles will disappear, and the skin will become level ; and is the only article that makes the complexion clear, beautiful, and healthy; is pleasant, cooling, refreshing, and so innocent, that it may be used with safety to infants. It clears all cutaneous eruptions, spots, pimples, redness, blotches, (and even actually clears itching pimples). Persons subject to leprosy, King's Evil, and Scrofula, wiU find the real Pearl Milk the finest remedy; and it makes coarse, sallow, and sickly complexions a healthy bloom and radiant whiteness. Ladies who use the Pearl Milk will have no occasion to rouge, paint, &c. as the best of them Is un healthy, and Injurious to the skin ;—therefore Ladies cught to be particular what they use for the skin, as the skin is naturally thin and delicate. There are young as well as elderly Gentlemen who are subject to pimples, and ra;iicularly elderly Gentlemen, whose chins naturally get soil and begin to wrinkle, and shaving becomes difficult, and often cut themselves, but by washing their face with the Real Pearl Milk, or by putting some on the soap when shaving, instead of water, it makes the chin hard and plump, clears all imperfections, and shaving will be comfortable. Several ladies have declared they have spent pounds for articles for the skin that are so puffed in the Newspapers, but they found they have been defrauded, as it did more harm to the skin than good ; but after a few times using the Real Pearl Milk, they were so pleased with it, as it began to beautify their complexion, and they found the oftener they used it the more it cleared away the red spots they had been subject to; bet they said it was a pity it is so dear or they would use it oftener. A Lady of Distinction, about forty-five, has declared to the Proprietor, about two years ago, after recovering from an illness, observed wrinkles under her eyes, that made her look years older : and had had the first medical ad%icr, and used several French and English Cosmetics, yet found the wrinkles increased, but of .ate washing her face with the Pearl 3111 k, her skin gradually became smooth at .d even, and made her complexion look healthy and youth ful. And what makes the real Pearl Milk so valuable to young Ladies, as well as elderly, when washing with it the :ace, neck, bands, and arms, makes them look healthy, Lir, and beautiful. Irr In short, if the Royal Family, Nobility, and . tientry, whohav e not used the Real Pearl Milk, willhonour .1 cub a trial, they will find it the most valuable article no the toilet. There lre some Ladies and Gentlemen, no doi.bt, who think it impossible for the Real Pearl Milk to pa‘ress the above remarkable virtues but a trial will eon ,lrce them of its efficacy.

In the third part of these observations we have 'hewn that, to make the future acquisitions of an insolvent liable to the payment of antecedent debts, is a decree of perpetual condemnation ; an interdict to every hope of returning to successful industry ; or of ever again obtaining confidence, while a judgment stands recorded, with execution to be sued out on the first appearance of prosperous exertion. It is persecution interminable ; the pu nishment of the day, the prelude of the suffering of the morrow ; the process ending replaced by the process commencing; it is the stone of Sisy phus, recoiling by an interminable doom to the foot of the mountain, as often as it is rolled to its summit. The making the future acquisitions of insolvents liable to the payment of antecedent debts. has been found to be as inhuman as unjust; nugatory and unavailable. It is injurious to commerce, by in spiring distrust, and by destroying credit, which is alleged to be the basis of it. The other enactment contained in the sane clause, preventing prisoners from pleading the statute of limitation, is equally repugnant to hu manity, and all the lessons of experience. It is contrary to reason, to sound policy, and the tranquillity of society. It is as important to the public as to individuals, that proceed ings in execution should not be perpetuat ed. The maxim, interest republic(' sit „finis litium, is consecrated by the wisdom of ages. Upon that principle the Athenian laws prohi bited all actions where the injury was committed five years before the complaint vas made ; and the Roman law enjoins, litibsts imFonenda celeritas. Justice' Blackstone says, that the use of these statutes of limitation was to preserve the peace of the King alone, and to prevent those immence cable perjuries, which might ensue, i f actions , were allowed to bo brought at any distance of time. Subsequent acts of Parliament have still further amended the statutes of limitations; they have encreased its powers, and made it more difficult to take cases out of the limitations described in it. By Lord Tender den's Act, the 9th Geo. IV. c. 14. " .No acknowledgement or promise, shall be deemed sufficient to take a cue out of the Statute of linsi- Cations, unless it be in writing. It is made in cumbent on every holder, even of a promissory note, to obtain a new one, within six years, and every acknowledgement or endorsement must be signed by the debtor, that the money is still unpaid, or the debtor will not be liable. " But up starts the author of the fraudulent Debtors' Bill, to contravene these salutary provi sions, and in one line to repeal all the ancient sta tutes founded in wisdom; and handed down to us from judge to judge, until they are to stop at Lord . Wynford. Is the experience of ages, is the pro ,-found thinking, the wholesome legislation of Lord Tenterden to be revoked ? Are crude conceptions, had indigested notions, to be substituted in tbeir *out Alward awl Appreesieu stalotimaziON-, • deed, too often, without any diicussion, passed, to the disgrace of both Houses of Parliament. But, as the Upper House appears, under the present political marassmus, to be fast sinking into the tomb of all the Capulets, let them in time be on their guard, against Sxing this last indelible blot on their escutcheon. It might be in accordance with the juridical maxims of prudence, with some lawyers, to dis guise the principles on which they proceed. But the sharpening the sword in silence, which is to im molate the defenceless victim, does not make its stroke less certain, nor is the point of the dart less mortal for being concealed. Why was not the object of the New Bill at once avowed. The making it impossible to find bail for a de fendant, by its requiring security for the full payment of the debt and costs, leaving the defendant no alternative than imprisonment and ruin : laws, which lay snares for the weak, and give strength to the strong, are confederates of property and inequality, establishing their usur pations on the inalienable rights and natural liber ties of mankind. The present attempt to deprive debtors of all freedom of person—to take away bail ix civil ac tions—to new model the law of outlawry—and to arm it, atrocious as it is already, with novel, dan gerous, unconstitutional powers over the persons and properties of the subject, is so incredible; there is something contained in it so nefarious, so uncalled for, so injurious in every respect, that its existence might be doubted, or we might be sus pected of exaggeration, unless we gave the terms of the act itself, and allowed the reader to judge for himself:— " Before any judgment of outlawry in any civil action, in which a defendant might have been held to bail, shall be reversed, the defendant shall put in and perfect bail, not only to answer the plain tiff (that is, for his appearance,) but also to be liable for the debt and costs, and also all the costs of proceeding to outlawry." With respect to the creditor, his object can only be to have satisfaction for his debt, or bail for the surrender of the debtor, in default of payment.— What possible advantage can he derive from all the calamities that must follow on making his debtor a prisoner. In that event, his fortune, his friends, his family become lost to him, and often he is lost to himself. Had freedom of action, had personal liberty been continued to him, he might have found the means of liquidating the demands against him. On the other hand, when deprived of his personal freedom, outlawed, ruined, sinking under a load of disgrace, chagrin, and injustice, he perishes. What then remains to the creditor?— endless remorse, and the extinguishment of every hope of recovering his debt. It is then obvious that the course of the proposed law is, in the first in stances, to coerce the body of the debtor, and to demand security, not for the appearance, but for the full payment of the debt and costs. A de mand involving an impossibility, leaving no other destiny to the unfortunate defendant, here the con fiscation of his property and the imprisonment of his person. All premature oppression and gratui tous cruelty. For, if be be domiciated, if he have a family, if he have a profession or trade, can a doubt exist of his appearing and surrendering in discharge of his bail ? We have given our reprobation of Lord W»- ford's legislation on this most interesting and im portant subject. We have done it with the more confidence, as we have his Lordship's authority for the horror we entertain at the aggravation of bis law of outlawry; a law designated by himself of extreme severity; a law of extreme severity with out the new inquisitorial power be has introduced, and their merciless prompt execution.* Now hear Lord Wynford on the terrible severi ties of outlawry.—ln the case of Binns, Esq. at the suit of Ireland and others in a case of OUTLAWRY : The Lord Chief Justice Best said, " I think this is a scandalous abuse of the pro ceeding of outlawry, which is so serious a pro ceeding, that the law throws every protectio n round a man, and every security it can give to him, when such a violent measure is adopted against his person or property; and I am afraid that in this Court, as well as in others, the process of outlawry is greatly abused. There must be three writs before you come to the exigent, and no attempt to serve any one of them upon his body is proved to have been made, before he is thus violently outlawed. It is admitted, also, that the sheriff's olficer was instructed to return non set inventus ; and we cannot conceive that a • greater abuse could be made of the practice of the Court." How is this inconsistency to be accounted for. • The learned Lord appears, as we have lately • Upon a writ of espies permitted in all utters on the case, the defendant might be outlawed, because on such out lawry his goods became the property of the Crown. The law waist) crud and led to such abuse that it was afterwards ruled, that any phosibk moos war sejleieree sa "woe it; it being iiv3aidertd only a proems to comma an .oppeon one,, not so Lord Wyoford, drawing his law from the im pure source of Henry Vll. he is foe increasing the pesaltiss, and wider speeding the ruin. IMPERIAL PA!! LIAM ENT. HOUSE SFMIS7ps, tune M. The House was occupied some time Id Leasing evidence: in Kinrainl and i.e Fevre's Divorce Bills. A Message from the House of Commons brought up the Queen's Dowry Bill, which, on tle motion of F.-al Grey, was cud a first time, and ordered to be read a second time tedisecrow. The Marquis of CLANKICARDF. preeented a petition from the ceenty of I.42itritn, against the tithe system.

IisLOIVM AND 1.0117t:OaL. The Earl of ABERDEEN begged to call the attention of their lordships to some passages in the Speech of the King of the French. That speech referred to two topics of high im portance, and as far as this country was concerned, which the Government ought to explain. The noble Earl then pro ceeded to observe that he had some time ago called the wen. don of this Government to the dispute between Pottugsl art! 'ABM, in expectation that it would interpose and settle it. The power of France was now triumphant in the Tagus. anti ie capital of our ally was at the mercy of France. What le ised now was, that the noble Earl ;Grey) should lay on the table all the pars relating to that subject, including the correspondence which took place between this country, Portugal and France, relating to it. The next subject to wh di would all their attention was, the proposed demo ertikteMetsiggemoviliaaiiihiggiana, were erected a by th irry, had e of this country, Holland, Austria, and Roads, with a view to protect Bdgiam from the ingression of France. It ape peered now that these fortresses were to be demolished. in older to satisfy France. He wished to know if the noble Earl had any objection to lay the papers relating to that sub ject on the table. LMd GREY would not be provoked by the sarcasms or the sneers of the Noble Lord, (cheers), to deviate from the course which he ought to pursue on this occasion, or todis lass that subject prematurely ; at the same time he begged SO say, that he would be ready to meet the noble earl ors that subject when the_ proper occasion arrived. With respect Peetugal. be would say, that we were not bound to de hod that Government from hostilities brought on it by its own refusal to withhold due satisfaction, particularly sec we had not recognized that Government. the papers Ice question he could not conveniently lay on the table at present. He repelled with indignation the msissua lion that the French flag was triumphant in the l'agu.. There was nn man more sensible titan he was to the honour and interests of the country. He lamented that the Portu guese government, through its obstinacy, had withheld the satisfaction demanded, and that the dispute was not settled in a more amicable manner. With tepee' to Belgium, he should object very much to produce rapers, which would lead to a discussion relating to a treaty as yet pending. But, is answer to a question which he expected to he put to him, be nuns prepared to lay on the table a re. solution entered into by the governments of Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Great Britain, on the 17th of April. The noble earl then read the resolution, .hies was in substance, that the new position in which B. I. gium had entered into, guaranteed by France, (namely. that it should be a ricotta/ country,) required that putt of their fortresses should be demolished, as the Belgians would not be in a condition to keep them up. Ttns fact was communicated in the beginning of this month to the King of the French, with a view to show the con. fidence which the Plenipotentiaries placed on the eineevity of France to support the neutrality of Belgium. When the proper time for this discussion enould arrive ' he hoped he should MA se difficulty in aatistying their lordships that the course pumsd by his Majesty's government was the best that could be adopted under existing circumstance's Until that period arrived, he trusted their lordships would refrain from alluding to the ouhj, et. The Duke of WELLINGTON would be the last mace in the world to throw difficulties in the way of his ~ ty's government, but he felt beutiti in ots.t care or ear., us serrations to the house, se he had been mum' cuttourn.e the erection of those fortresses, and was anxious to 11,1 .he country and himself right as to the motives, to that treaeure. Their lordships were aware that the itierioat of t:.e 'Nether lands having been created in consequence tit the events white took place at the conclusion of the late war, it had been de termined by his late Alajeety, and by the King of to erect on the frontier el Belgtum a barrier tor use prutee• tion of the North of Europe. Afterwards Austria, ituas.sa, and Prussia concurred in this ut:thmaking, at.d gave wards It their share of the Frti , ch contributions. lir hair powers, Austria, Russia, rtll4loll, and Lnghthd, together with Holland, sustained the w bole expense of erecting these fortnsses. Frence bad no share in them. Tone was the relative Situation of the ;ewers when the Freeelt Revolution took place, and afur this event his Most Clais. tian Majesty, having avowed his detennh , anan w ews eider himself bound by existing treaties, became, le bound, a party to the congress of London. With respect to :he general arrangement of the affeira of Belgium, lie cone air. d it a perfectly reasonable arrangement. After the events s hien had taken place in Belgium, die separation of that auntie front Holland became necessary, and oo power had a Not to complain of the ecutiality it Belgium ; least of all had France a right to complain of that system o neutrality. since it teemed het from invasion by the other great powers of Europe. He denied that the fortresses were erected for the put. pose of menace or aggression against France ; and France, of all others, considering the security she derived from the neu trality of Belgium, ought not to have been the power to call for the destruction of these fortress. He was aware that the King of Belgium bad not the poser adequately to garrison the whole of the fortresses ; .nd he admitted also that this country and Holland, for Holland was as much concerned as any of them, in conjunction with Austria, Russia, and Prus sia, might dismantle three fortresses if they thought proper ; but the effect would be, if war arose, to leave the North of Europe exposed to the armies of France. He had been glad to find from the paper read by the noble earl, that only tour of the powers constituting the Congress of London had been parties to the arrangement respecting the fortresses, and that France had been excluded front their deliberations upon that subject. But not only with respect to the security of the North of Europe, but with respect to the power of Belgium to maintain its neutrality, were the fortresses of the greatest importance. On what was this neutrality to depend ? the good faith of the guaranteeing powers ? No such thing. U they did not give to Belgium the power of maintaining I bee own neutrality, they did nothing. (Hear) He had Issid this much, as he was anxious to vindicate this country 'tad to vindicate himself front the imputativo levelled against theta when it was asserted that the fortresses had been erected for any other purpose than to resist aggression on the part of France. He was concerned that the noble ear Shed no explanation to offer with respect to Portugal. He con flated that when he read the account of the al-coloured flag waving in the port of Lisbon he felt shame and not as an officer of the army, foe the actions of the British army in Portugal were Imperithable—(Load and lcog-con. tinued eneers)—whatever might be the future policy of the British Government, but as an Englishman he deeply la mented that the Government should have fallen into such a mis:ake as not to take the neossuly steps to rescue that country from the situation in which they had permitted her to fall (Cheers.) He felt some difficulty in adverting to the particular case which had occurred at Lisbon, or rather, be believed, at Oporto, and 'behind given rise to the French expedition; but the British Government, in 'its wisdom, ought to have found the means to prevent this calamity, when the only p retext for the attack was the trial of two individuals, both of whom had in fact been 'tried by the legal tribunals of PonugaL (Chews.) The government of England ought to have exercised its Wi tman to Portugal to immure satisfaction in France by peace ful means,* Fume had really been aggrieved ; and it ought also to hue exercised that Menu which it powered with the Government of Faun to disuade that Government from prosecuting acomplaint in a mutter the lipase of which was greater than the complaint was warty This would have put an end to the expeditka, and have prevented the disaster.
