THE CONDI AL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to elieve those persons who, by an immo derate indulgence of I heir passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, on their Iva y to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected vs' ith any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys tem, obstinate glees involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu arity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potency, barrennes a, &e. But the relief administered is not confined to these done. • The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his - parents the inheritance of a diseased and un prolific frame; tb it delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and water y. alinnents, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all tlae c slamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, with out t hnely assistance, sinking into an un timely grave. C onstitu tions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are ur Ater the immediate influence of this restorative.

This officer was the eldest son of the late Philip Bowes Broke, of Nacton, county of Suffolk, Esq., by Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Charles Beaumont, M.A., of Witnesham, in the same county. He was born 9th September, 1776 ; completed his education at the Royal Academy, Portsmouth ; commenced his naval career as midshipman on board the Bull Dog sloop of war, 25th June, 1792. From her he removed with Captain George Hope, into L'Eclair, a French prize corvette on the Mediterranean station, where he was employed in much active service, particularly at the siege of Bastia. L'Eclair was for some time commanded by the late Commissioner Towry, with whom Mr. Broke continued until 25th May, 1794, when he joined his former Captain in the Romulus, 26 guns, which ship was attached to the fleet under Vice Admiral Stotham, in the action off Genoa, 14th March, 1795. On the Bth of June following, he was removed into the Britannia, a first-rate, bearing the flag of that officer, by whom he was appointed third oLieutenant of the Southampton frigate, shortly after the skirmish of Frejus, which ended in the destruction of a French 74. In the Southampton's action with La Vestale, French frigate, and capture of L'Utile French corvette, cut out from under the batteries of Perquerones, 1796, Lieutenant Broke bore a conspi cuous part ; he was also present at the defeat of the Spanish fleet, by Sir John Jervis, 14th February 1797. We subsequently find him serving under the late Hon. Captain Charles Herbert, in the Amelia frigate, and bearing a part in the battle between Sir John B. War ren and M. Bompart, off the coast of Ireland, 1798. Lieutenant Broke was advanced to the rank of Com mander in January 1799 ; and made a Post Captain 14th February 1801. Previous to this latter promo tion, he commanded the Shark sloop of war, employed in affording protection to the trade, and occasionally •ruising off the Dutch coost. At the renewal of the war in 1803, Captain Broke made several unsuccessful applications for a ship ; but as inactivity forayed no part of his character, he employed himself in training the peasantry in his neighbourhood to arms, for the purpose of opposing the threatened invasion from France. In April, 1805, be was appointed to the Druid frigate ; and the scarcity of seamen then being so great that many ships were lying idle for want of hands, he offered to proceed to sea with scarcely a sufficient number to work her. His offer being accepted, the Druid sailed on a cruise for men off the Land's End, and in the Bristol Channel ; and after making up her complement, was placed under the orders of Lord Gardner, on the Irish station, where she captured the Prince Murat, French ship privateer, of 18 six-pounders, and 127 men. On the Ist of May, 1806, Captain Broke fell in with the Pandour, a na tional brig of 18 guns and 114 men, which, after a run of 160 miles, was arrested in her flight by the squadron under Rear-Admiral Stirling, and conducted to Ply mouth by the Druid. Captain Broke's next appoint. ment was in June, 1806, to the Shannon, in which ship he established his fame as a British commander in the first rank of naval renown. Towards the close of 1807, Captain Broke accompanied the expedition against Madeira, in consequence of the Portuguese Go vernment having declared war against Great Britain. Possession of that island being obtained by a mere dis play of force, he was ordered by Sir Samuel Hood to convoy the transports back to England, where he ar rived on the 7th of February, 1808. On the 27th of January, 1809, he took, after a long chase, Le Porn rnereuil cutter, 14 guns, and 60 men. We next find Captain Broke on the Halifax station, where he arrived on the 14th of September, 1811. On the 18th of June, 1812, a formal declaration of war against Great Britain was made on the part of Con gress ; and on the sth of the ensuing month, Capt. B. was despatched by Vice Admiral Sawyer, with the Africa, 64, and Belvidere and iEgeus, frigates, under his orders, to blockade the enemy's ports. Eleven days afterwards he captured the American brig Nautilus, 14 guns, and 106 men, on Sandy Hook. The same evening another vessel was seen, which proved to be the Constitution, 56 guns. All sail was immediately made, and although one of the British squadron was within gun shot of her, she succeeded in making her escape, after an anxious pursuit of 65 hours. On the 20th of Sept. Captain Broke returned to Halifax, where he had the mortification to learn that the Guerriere had been taken by the Constitution. In December, 1812, Captain Broke escorted a homewlrd-bound fleet halt-way across the Atlantic. On the 21st of March, 1813, he was joined by Captains Oliver and Cape!, in the Valiant and La Hogue, 74's, when the former officer relieved bin' in the command of the northern stations. The Shannon and Tenedos soon after separated from the squadron in a gale, and steered for Boston, which port they re connoitred on the 2d of April. It was at this time the Chesapeake got into Boston through the eastern passages. Captain Broke having ascertained that the Chesapeake would soon be ready for sea again, he took a supply of provisions and water from the Tenedos, and detached her, with orders not to rejoin him before the 14th of June, the earliest date at which, it was consi dered, the Constitution could be got ready to accom pany the Chesapeake, should the latter wait in port for that purpose. Seven days afterwards, he addressed the following letter to the commanding officer of the Chesapeake : " H. B. M.S. Shannon, off Boston, June 4, 1813. Sir,—As the Chesapeake appears now ready for sea, 1 request you will do me the favour to meet the Shannon with her, ship to ship, to try the fortune of our respective flags. To an officer of your character, it requires some apology for proceeding to further par ticulars. Be assured, Sir, that it is not from any doubt I can entertain of your wishing to close with my pro posal, but merely to provide an answer to any objec tion which might be made, and very reasonably, upon the chance of our receiving unfair support. " After the diligent attention we had paid to Com modore Rogers ; the pains I took to detach all force but the Shannon and Tenedos to such a distance that they could not possibly _join in any action fought in sight of the Capes, and the various verbal messages which had been sent into Boston to that effect, we were much disappointed to find the Commodore had eluded us by sailing on the first change, after the pre vailing easterly winds had obliged us to keep an oiling from the coast. He, perhaps, wished for some stronger assurance of a fair meeting. lam therefore induced to address you more particularly, and to assure you, that what I write I pledge my honour to perform. " The Shannon mounts 24 guns guns upon her broad side, and one light boat gun ; 18 pounders upon her main deck, and 32 pounder carronades on her quarter deck and forecastle ; is manned with a complement of 300 men and boys (a large proportion of the latter), besides 30 seamen, boys, and passengers, who were taken out of recaptured vessels lately. I am thus minute, because a report has prevailed in some of the Boston papers, that we had 150 men additional lent us from La Hogue, which really never was the case. La Hogue is now gone to Halifax for provisions ; and I will send all other ships beyond the power of interfer ing with us, and meet you wherever it is most agreeable to you, within the limits of the undermentioned rendez- vous, viz. : " From 6 to 10 leagues east of Cape Cod lighthouse ; from 8 to 10 leagues east of Cape Ann's light ; on Castle's Ledge, in latitude 43 north ; at any bearing and distance you please to fix off the south breakers of Nan tucket, or the shoal on St. George's Bank. " If you will favour me with any plan of signals or telegraph, I will warn you (if sailing under this pro mise) should any of my friends be too nigh, or any where in sight, until I can detach them out of my way ; or I would sail with you under a flag of truce to any place you think safest from our cruisers, hauling it dawn when fair to begin hostilities. " You must, Sir, be aware that my proposals are highly advantageous to you, as you cannot proceed to sea singly in the Chesapeake, without imminent risk of being crushed by the superior force of the numerous British squadrons which are now abroad : where all your efforts, in case of a rencnntre, would, however gal lant, be perfectly hopeless. I entreat you, Sir, not to imagine that I am urged by mere personal vanity to the wish of meeting the Chesapeake ; or that I depend only upon your personal ambition for your acceding to this invitation : we have both nobler motives. You will feel it as a compliment if I say, that the result of our meeting may be the most grateful service I can render to my country ; and I doubt not that you, equally con fident of success, will feel convinced, that it is only by I repeated triumphs in even combats, that your little navy can now hope to console your country for the loss of that trade it can no longer protect. Favour me with a speedy reply. We are short of provisions and water, and cannot stay long here. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient humble servant, (Signed) " P. B. V. BROKE. " N.B.—For the general service of watching your coast, it is requisite for me to keep another ship in com pany,: to supply me with her guns, and boats whom em ployed near the land, and particularly to aid each other, if either ship in chase should get on shore. You must be aware that I cannot, consistently with my duty, waive so great an advantage for this general service, by detaching my consort, without an assurance on your part of meeting me directly ; and that you will neither seek nor admit aid from any other of your armed ves sels, if I detach mine expressly for the purpose of meet ing you. Should any speCial order restrain you from thus answering a formal challenge, you may yet oblige me by keeping my proposal secret, and appointing any place you may like to meet us (within 300 miles of Bos- PUBLICATIONS.

On Saturday, at the Westminster Medical Society, Dr. Chowne, one of the physicians of the Charing-cross Hospital, stated that Scott was thirteen minutes hang ing, ten minutes on the pavement, where an attempt was made to restore animation, and from ten to fifteen minutes elapsed in bringing him from the bridge to the hospital, making in the aggregate thirty-three minutes before he was subject to the process of resuscitation. Owing to this circumstance, there was but little chance of restoring him to life. Notwithstanding this, every attempt was made to effect that desirable object. The •lungs were inflated, brandy was administered, and the 'body was exposed to the galvanic influence. His head and lungs were carefully examined after death. The vessels at the postajor part of the brain were very turgid, in other respects the brain was natural. A great accumulation of blood was found in the lungs ; in fact, there was clear evidence that the circu lation in this organ had been completely stopped, and that asphyxia was the proximate cause of death. Dr. Chowne stated that Scott's usual mode of performing the trick was by placing the rope imme diately underneath the lower jaw -bone, and by adjust ing the rope in this manner he might bang for some time without respiration being suspended. It is be lieved that the rope slipped from under the jaw and produced strangulation. It was Scott's usual custom when hanging to stretch out his arms, but in the last fatal experiment he did not do so. Alluding to this circumstance, Scott's wife observed to Dr. Chowne, " What fools they must have been not to have seen that he did not make his ordinary motions , and that all was not right." Oa the morning of the fatal accident he was in good spirits, and observed to his wife that the result of that day would relieve them from their pe cuniary difficulties. Mr. F. Winslow observed that be had been told by a person who was immediately under Scott while he was hanging, that he appeared depressed in spirits, and that from this circumstance some supposed that his death might have been premeditated ; but Mr. W. thought the history of the case did not warrant any such conclusion. From the absence of all struggling, Mr. Winslow said the death must have been instan taneous. SAM SCOTT, THE AMERICAN DIVER.—The mortal remains of this man were yesterday interred in the burial ground of the parish church of St. Paul, Deptford. At a quarter before three o'clock the funeral proceeded from his late residence in High-street, Deptford, followed by two female and two male mourners, and about fifty in different persons. A body of police from the R division attended to preserve order, but their services were not re quired in consequence of the privacy observed by the friends of the deceased.

Choose your terms, but let us meet." This letter was confided to Mr. Slocum, a dis charged prisoner, who immediately departed in a boat for Marblehead. At the same time, the Shannon, with colours flying, stood in close to the light-house, and there hove to. The Chesapeake was now seen at anchor in President Roads, with royal yards across, and apparently ready for sea. She soon after loosed and sheeted home her topsails. Between noon and one p.m., while the Shannon's crew were at dinner, Captain Broke went himself to the masthead, and there ob served the Chesapeake fire a gun, hoist her topsails, and set top-gallant sails. She was presently under weigh, and made more sail as she came down, having a light breeze in her favour. The following is Captain Broke's letter, detailing an account of the action that ensued : " Shannon, Halifax, June 6, 1813. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that being close in with Boston lighthouse, in H.M.S., under my command, on the Ist inst., I had the pleasure of see ing that the United States' frigate Chesapeake (whom we had long been watching), was coming out of the harbour to engage the Shannon ; I took a positio❑ be ween Cape Ann and Cape Cod, and then hove to for him to join us. The enemy came down in a very hand some manner, having three American ensigns fly ing ; whe❑ closing with us, he sent down his royal yards. I kept the Shannon's up, expecting the breeze would die away. At half-past .5 p.m. the enemy hauled up within hail of us on the starboard side, and the battle began : after exchanging two or three broadsides, the enemy's ship fell GA board of us, her mizen-channels locking in with our for.sgging. 1 went forward to ascertain our position, and observed that the enemy were flinching from their guns. I gave the order to prepare for boarding. Our gallant hands appointed to that service immediately rushed is, under their respective officers, driving everything before them with irresistible fury. The enemy made a desperate but disorderly resistance. The firing continued at all the gang ways, and between the tops, but in two minutes time, the enemy were driven, sword in hand, from every post. The American flag was hauled down, and the proud old British Union floated triumphant over it. In another minute they ceased firing from below and called for quarter. The whole of this was achieved in 15 minutes from the com mencement of the action. I have to lament the loss of many of my gallant shipmates, but they fell exulting in their conquest. My brare first lieutenant, Mr. Watt, was slain in the moment of victory, in the act of hoist ing the British colours ; his death is a severe loss to the service. Mr. Aldham, the purser, who had spiritedly volunteered the charge of a party of small-arm men, was killed at his post, on the gangway. My faithful old clerk, Mr. Dunn, was shot by his side. Mr Aldham has left a widow to lament his loss. I request the Commander-in-Chief will recommend her to the protec tion of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. My veteran boatswain, Mr. Stephens, has lost an arm ; he fought under Lord Rodney, April 12, 1782. I trust his age and service will be duly rewarded. lam happy to say that Mr. Samvvell, a midshipman of much me rit, is the only other officer wounded (besides myself), and he not dangerously. Of my g allant seamen and marines, 23 were slain, and 56 wounded. No expres sions I can make use of can do justice to the merits of my valiant officers and crew ; I recommend them all warmly to the protection of the Commander-in-Chief. Having received a severe sabre wound at the first onset, hilst charging a party of the enemy who had rallied on their forecastle, I was only capable of giving command till our conquest was complete ; and then directing second Lieut. Wallis to take charge of the Shannon, and secure the prisoners, I left the third lieutenant, Mr. Falkiner (who headed the main-deck boarders), in charge of the prize. I bee to recommend these offi cers most strongly to the Commander-in-Chief's pa tronage. To Mr. Etough, the acting Master, I am much indebted for the steadiness with which he carried the ship into action. Lieutenants Johns and Law, of the Marines, bravely boarded at their respective divi sions. It is utterly impossible to particularise every brilliant deed performed by my officers and men ; but I must mention when the ships' yard-arms were locked together, that Mr. Cosnahan, who commanded in our main-top, finding himself screened from the enemy by the foot of the topsail, laid out at the main-yardarm, to fire upon them, and shot three men in that situation. Mr. Smith, who commanded in our fore-top, stormed the enemy's fore-top from the fore-yard-arm, and destroyed all the Americans remaining in it. I particularly beg leave to recommend Mr. Etough, the acting Master ; and Messrs. Smith, Leake, - Clavering, Raymond, and Littlejohn, Midshipmen. The loss of the enemy was about 70 killed and 100 wounded. The enemy came into action with 440 men ; the Shannon had 330. The Chesapeake is a fine frigate, and mounts 49 guns ; eighteens on her man deck, two-and-thirties on her quarter deck and forecastle. Both ships came out of action in the most beautiful order, their rigging appearing as perfect as if they had only been exchang ing a salute. " I have the honour to be, Sir, &c. (Signed) " P. B. V. BROKE. " To Capt. Hon. T. Bladen Capel." The Lords of the Admiralty, to mark their sense of this action, directed a medal to be presented to Cap tain Broke. On the 2.d of November following, Cap tain Broke was raised to the dignity of a Baronet of Great Britain ; and in February 1814, he received the Royal permission to bear a crest of honourable augmen tation to his family arms, together with the motto— " Scevumque tridentem servamus." The underwriters at Halifax, in testimony of their esteem, presented Captain Broke with a piece of plate, value 100 guineas. The Court of Common Council of London, voted him their thanks, with the freedom of the City, and a sword of 100 guineas value. The thanks of ; the .qorporation of Ipswich (the freedptn ,of which lie:s . olos - birth en titled to), were also presented to him,';iiinet4:subscrip tion opened by the gentry and ether inhabitants of the county of Suffolk, fTsr the puiliose of purchasing a piece of plate, which dined at an amount,of.74-0/. A convivial society at lOsvich, called :the' "SF* and Easy Club," likewise subscribed 100'. is s iiiOaS for the purchase of a silver cup, 'bearing a ch'aste',anct unosten tatious inscription. On the Shannon's return, to EnglatiilV44 found unfit for service, Sir Philip Broke was offeria - the com mand of one of the new ships built to matels:thO large American vessels, misnamed frigates 4 but -;his':wound was not then sufficiently healed to allow of, his- immedi ately serving again. He was nominated a K.C.8., Ja nuary 2,1813 ; and promoted to the rank of Rear-Ad miral, 22d January, 1839. In his public capacity he was a zealous enterprising officer, of a conciliatory dis position and kind feelings. In his private life, charit able and benevolent ; and no one has ever died more generally regretted than the gallant Admiral ; and his name will be recorded to posterity as one of our greatest naval ornaments. _ . POPULATION AND 'MILITARY FORCE OF THE DIFFERENT POWERS IN The following interesting statistical return, made by Chevalier Cesar Moreau, from official documents, was read at the Royal Statistical Society of Paris, ~ at their meeting of the 2d January, showing the pope►.ation and military force of the different Powers in 1841 : Gr..n..mAsY.—The GermannTonfederatiion was esta blished at the peace of 1814, with the consent of France, England, and the Holy Alliance. It is com posed of the Empire of Austria, the Kingdoms of Prussia, Bavaria, Bohemia, Hungary, Hanover, and Wurtemberg ; of the Grand Duchies of Saxony, Ba den, Electorate of Hesse, and other Principalities ; the Republics of Lubeck, Frardtfort, Bremen, and Hamburgh. This may be conshiered the Grand Mili tary Confederation of the Nortb, of Europe, which ex tends its power over the Lorabardo-Venetian States, and the whole of Italy under the yoke of Austria. It is the alliance of these Stat. es which is the great check to the ambitious views am', despotism of Russia. The empire of AUF THIA may be considered the most important. It ;.s composed of thirteen S tates, viz., the Areb•duchy of Austria, Styria, Illyria , Ty rol, Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, Gallicii, HungarY, Croatia, Sclavonia t letansylvania, Dalmatia , and Lom bardo-Venetian. It. comprises 900 towns , 2,137 burghs, and and 77,596 viliagr ; s. Its population is 23 millions , a half of inhabit ants ; army, 280,50 0 men ; and a.welt constructed nr.vy.

Population, ~~~ EVENING EDITION 12,500,000 inhabitants ; army, 200,000, !aria, ;att. large commercial navy ; soil fertile. RusslA.—This great military empire,\gtftiate ih 7 Europe and Asia, comprises the ninth parf:of the ter restrial globe, earl the 28th part of the whole globe: 4 4 Its military colonies on the banks of the Llemen, Dnie per, Boy, Borys, Ingoul, Novomirgorod, and the South, (which she gained by pillage and murder) alone amount to upwards of 100,000 men, on a similar plan to the military colonies of Austria. This description of mili tary agricultural force is annually increasing, and threatens sooner or later to invade Circassia, and Tur key, which will eventually form a province of this ever growing empire, should not the determination and wisdom of the British Cabinet, united with that of France, put a stop to the ambition of the Autocrat. Although so extensive, Russia is far from being so po pulated in comparison with France, England, and other parts of Europe, where liberty and industry are joined together for the benefit of mankind. Its fettered peasantry or hordes are scattered in small towns or desert v lieges. Its army and savage bands of Cossacks, Calmuks, baskirs or irregular cavalry, are disseminated all over the empire from North to South, each forming a sort of military autocracy of themselves, or an inde pendent force of nobles and slaves, over which the Czar himself has alone the power of life and death, but not withstanding he is entirely under their will or influence. This numerical strength in case of a sudden war, could not be concentrated in any particular point but with the greatest difficulty, as the strongest antipathies exist between these barbarous hordes, and those of an op posite part of the empire, differ in language and reli gion. In Austria, Prussia, and the other Powers form ing the Germanic Confederation, the law of conscription, similar to that of France (excepting nobles) is adopted for the recruiting of the army, but in Russia every pea sant or serf is considered the property of the nobles, and can be called upon to serve as a soldier whenever the Emperor may think proper to command him. This despotic power is too often abused by the Gene rals-in-Chief, who show more partiality towards one province or government than another, from whence arises the state of hatred and revolt, which exists among many of the corps, and that is only kept down by the knout or violent flogging, and other severe corporal punishments, at the mercy of their officers, all of whom are nobles. Population, 56,800,000 inhabitants ; army, 800,000 men (regular troops) ; large navy. Parts of the country fertile in grain, wood, tar, resin, hemp, Sae. FRANCE, next to Russia, may be considered the strongest military power on the continent of Europe, its army well organised, as well as its National Guards. Since the glorious revolution of 1830, many great im provements have taken place in its composition, and the conquest of Algiers and Constantine has again raised that military spirit of glory which distinguished her armies under Napoleon le Grand whose mortal remains now repose within the sanctuary of the Invalides. As yet Franca has not established military colonies similar to her allies of Russia and Austria, as a reward to her bravest veterans ; but the subject is under the special consideration of his Majesty Louis Philippe, and his Excellency Marshal Soult, the Minister of War, according to the plea proposed by Marshal Vallee, who has made Northern Africa, once the re treat of pirates and savage Arabs, become civilised by France and her deserving warriors. The army in France is raised by the law of conscription, which obliges each canton to furnish annually the contingentf young men of the age of one-and-twenty, required by the Government, which number is balloted for by the rich proprietor's son, as well as that of the hunthle peasant, and once exempted, they are not called upon to draw again. The length of service is for seven years, at the expiration of which they can either con tinue in the army, or demand their discharge to retire home to the bosoms of their family. The officers rise gradually from the ranks according to their bravery and merit, or are named by the King from the Ecole Polytechniquc of Paris, and the Military School of Saumer. No commissions arc purchased, and all cor poral punishment is prohibited by the military code. Population 84,150,000 inhabitants, army 480,000 men ; exclusive of National Guards ; 880 ships of war, and 45,000 sailors or marines. France is divided into 86 departments, 363 arrondissements, 2,834 cantons, and 37,234 communes. One of the richest and most fer tile countries in Europe, producing grain, fruit, cattle, Sac., in abundance. GREAT BRlTAlN.—Although it may be classed among the military nations of the North, it must be con sidered more a maritime Power than a military one, and one of the most commercial, fertile, and industrious nations in the world ; through its particular geographi cal position as au island, which gives it the command of the seas. Its possessions in the different parts of the globe present a population of 143,185,000 inhabi tants, and an army of 805,500 men, including the troops belonging to the East India Company and other colo nies. The British army as well as the navy la raised by voluntary enlistment. The commissions in the army are purchased by the elite of the aristocracy, fear men ever rising from the ranks, however brave- In the Navy, Royal Marines, and Artillery, the officers rise from the rank of midshipmen (aspirant de vaisseau) and cadets.
