AN INFALLIBLE MEDICINE FOR THE REMOVAL OF ALL INTESTINAL WORMS. IT has been too fatally observed that the drastic operation of the usual Antlielminctics not unoften leaves the constitution of a Worm-Patient more debilitated and irri table than before their exhibition; thus exemplifying the homely truth, that" the remedy is worse than the disease;"—but the cure is seldom effected—and in the list of the " epprobria medico runt," diszascs arising from worms display an awful predominance. In early infancy, convulsions, fever, watery-head, and other fearful maladies are often only the effects of wornu, the re moval of which would so mitigate the symptoms as to ensure a mild treatment of at; otherwise doubtful ease. To a Mother's anxiety this assurance will impart no small consolation—and to the adult patient, whose hopes have been long mocked and at length desolated by delay' and disappointment, this prospect of certain relief will cheer him to the ttlal of an inestimable remedy. Mr. Cnamanntrisis's Preparations of CO WHA OE are mild and innocuous, have art operation purely mechanical, are sanctioned by the most eminent of the Faculty, and his Tteatise de the subject contains testimonials highly honourable to his practice. It is published at 20, Paternoster-row. The Medicine mat be procured at No. 5, Wellington-street, Strand, London; in Pots, at 4s. 6d. and 9s. each—the latter for the Tape-worm. j Country Patients, by enclosing a ask - co te,, will receive the balance in the parcel containing the Medicine.

T SING not of heroic ire, 1 A humbler willing theme I choose; I sing of what you all admire, I sing—and help me every Muse— Of Turner's Dye for blacking shoes. Its qualities unequall'd shine, Both high and low this Blacking use, He ranks the first in all his line. Many indulge the fond conceit, That rich attire will credit bring; But far more polish'd they, and.neat, Who use the Blacking that I sing. Gay as the lark in blooming spring, The youth and maid will then appear, Because from Turner's polishing, Their boots and shoes shine bright and clear. Most highly favour'd sure is he, Who by the shining of his boot, Charms the fair damsel, so that she Coyly accepts his modest suit. And happy the man beyond dispute Who found this potent way to Charm, And whilst he glosses shoe or boot, • Can keep the leather free from harm. • Turner, the lustre of your art Gives real brilliance to your name, Though aiming not at head or heart, Yet your's is sure a polish'd fame. Well may the master vet'd complain, If on his shoes the lustre slacking, Turner—have you forgot the name ? You know I order'd Turner's Blacking. What wretched mixture have you brought? Will this keep out the rain or snow? You know it is not worth a groat, And common sense must tell you so. Give me the Blacking that will shine, Though water fall and snow comes down ; But as for this, it may be thine, 'Twill suit a rusticated clown. He walks in brightness who steps forth . With Turner. Blacking on his shoes; • Nay, stranger shall he be to mirth, And love and beauty's smiles profuse, Fit only for the mire or stews, Who in fine weather plods his way, And takes no thought or makes no use Of Turner's splendid bright display. • In London-road the Factory stands, 'The Exportation Warehouse seek, But agencies are all at hand, ' In every town and every creek. Then sing of Turner all the week, And sport his Blacking every day, 'l'is cheap and good, and truth to speak, Turnefs as grateful as you're gay ! Take notice, this Blacking may be had Wholesale and Retail, at the Exportation Warehouse, 114, London•toad, Southwark; and by all the Grocers, Perfumers, Oilmen, and Boot-makers in the Metropolis, a nd every Town in England. -USE TURNER'S • BLACKING.

RBERT WARREN, Blacking Manufacturer, 30, STRAND, begs to caution the Public against a spu. rious composition being sold under his name, by means of imi tation labels. These may easily be detected by observing that the genuine has aied,xeze,L. Signed on each label—all others are counterfeit; many of which are interlined, in very small Characters, with a different address between the " No. 30," and the word " Strand." ROBERT WARREN also begs to add, that his swat Manu factory is at 50, Strand ; nor has he any connection with those pretended Warehouses professing to be branch establishments of his. All persons giving orders for Warren's Blacking are parti cularly requested to take notice, that the real Manufacturer is ROBERT WARREN, 30, STRAND. _ _ _ . It is strongly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by such vile impostors, to return the trash to the parties from whom it came, as being a punishment suitable to base fabricators of an article so essentially necessary to the fa shionable world. This genuine and surpassingly brilliant Blacking stands unri. valled for its peculiar excellence in keeping the feet perfectly free from damp in wet weather, preserving the leather soft and pliable, and producing the most elegant polish ever beheld, re taining its pristine virtues in any climate.

" MOST EXCELLENT SIR—I have uniformly stated to you, in all the Reports made by me since the de parture of the Government from Seville, that that event had produced a very mischievous effect on the country ; and the scandalous desertion which has taken place from the small body of troops that pro: ceeded to these head-quarters, evidently proved that it shared the same spirit. 4 , Nevertheless, I find, by your Excellency's answers;' that Government pay no regard to so great an evil, and that no measure is adopted likely to soothe this anxiety, and arrest the terrible calamities with which we are threatened. The evil increases, and hope* di- minishes ; and as every honourable Man invested with authority ought to express his sentiments with frankness, so I deem it to be my duty never to cease impressing on the Government the necessity of con vincing the Cortes, that events shew every day more and more that the conduct they pursue is in direct opposition to the manifest opinions of the country. a I begin with this declaration, being solicitous ori induce your Excellency to take into your most se rious consideration the circumstances which I ant going to state to you, and which prove in the most positive and evident manner possible the truth of the assertions contained in my preceding dispatches.— To-day, when we were about to begin our march for Bombs, it being broad daylight, two and twenty pri- Ates and a trumpeter of the regiment of horse of Almanza, overthrew the sentinel posted at the door of the inn where they liad• been quartered, and pro ceeded, sword in hand, towards the road of Corona. —When clear of the town they halted, and got ready their carabines, and thus assuming a hostile attitude, they waited till their could be joined by those who had not in the first instance been able to Iccompany them. This sufficiently slimed that they entertained _no apprehension of . being attacked by the picquets of Alcantara, Bourbon, and the remains of the coma pany of Santiago, which form my escort, even thinigh I, with my Staff, had placed myself at their head. —Being aware of this circumstance, I was unwilling to put to the test the suspicious fidelity of those who as yet follow me. It was to no purpose that t;:e offi cers endeavoured to dissuade them from so great a crime; for, so far from heeding the officers, tl:ey even threatened to fire on them. This defection, Most Exa cellent Sir, cannot be charged upon their being ill provisioned, for they are supplied in advance with an abundant day's ration; nor on excessive fatigue, for they hive not had any; nor on too rigorous a discipline. Neither could it proceed from a persuasion of their going to be shut up in the Isla, for they had seen that the column which was proceeding thither had previously marched for Xeres. Their motives then, Most Excellent Sir, could be no other than this, that they saw at one and the same time war waged against the foreigners and against their own countrymen ; for several towns treated them in a hostile - manner on their march, and, doubtless, they will h?ar from the pea santry no other language than that of seduction, as since the appointment of a Regency, and the re moval of the Government to Cadiz, the public opi nion can no longer be pronounced. A large portion of the people are convinced that it is the cause of a faction which we defend, rather than the cause of the liberal principles on which the Constitution is ft. undeel, so much the more,.as it is now openly observed, that those who were most tenacious in their refusal of coming to terms, and who, having been prevented from forming a conspiracy, hastened the tempest which is sinking the vessel of the State, have been the :first to place themselves individually in security against it. Considering all this, Most Excellent Sir, having only such means, and being reduced to such critical cir cumstances, I am so far from being able to answer for the success of the operations confided to me, that, in my estimation, the moment is not very far distant, when I and my whole Staff may become victims to the resentment of troops who think they are about to be engaged in an anti-national war. I hope your Excellency will submit the above to his Majesty,and favour me, by the bearer of this state ment, with his Royal resolution. GOD preserve your Excellency many years. (Signed) " PEDR6 VILLACA 31PN. " Arcos, June 19." REPLY " TO DON PEDRO VILLACAMPA. et Most Excellent Sir—The King, .in . pursuance of what your Excellency states in the letter dated the 19th instant, respecting the state of the army under your orders, and of the country in which it is operating, has thought proper to relieve your Ex cellency freo that command, directing it to be given to Lieutenant-General Don Joseph de Zayas, named' Commander of the Second Army of Operations.
