I am Sir, with due respect, your very humble servant, EDWARD COVERLY. No. 48, High.street, Whitechapel, Tuesday, July 30, 1833. PORTUGAL. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) LISBON, SEPT. 12.—The Echo steamer is sud denly ordered off, it is supposed wi!h despatches, as Colonel Hare has been going backwards and for wards between the contending parties, which gives some appearance of authority to the reports which are circulating of some prnposals for negotiation. Meanwile no other attack has been made by Rourniont since his discomfiture on the sth. A spirit of insubordination i 3 supposed to exist in his army. The deserters come in in considerable num bers every day, and this wish was so strongly shown by the 13th regiment, that it has been actually dis armed and ordered to the rear. The line of fortification is increasing in strength every day, and may' be already considered as im ' pregnable, so that the worst that can happen is a protraction of this unfortunate struggle, in which Don Miguel must eventually succumb.: The opinion is therefore very general, that if favourable terms were granted to him, he would retire from the con test. Don Pedro is, however, known to be averse to come to any other terms with his brother than the fate of war, so that very likely nothing will be done towards this negotiation for the present. There is very little doubt that Don Miguel may be able to keep his army together for a considerable time yet, having all the provinces in his rear at his command, and the abundance of the harvests of corn and fruit materially assisting him ; has, besides, received a reinforcement of French offiaers by a steam-boat, which has contrived to elude the vigi lance of the blockade, and entered the little port of San Martinho. LISBON, SEPT. 12.—We daily receive a great number of deserters from the enemy, and were i► not for the French Vendeans, who come in swarms, everything would have been ended here before now. Yesterday 250 of them were landed from a steam-boat. Intrigues of all sorts are carried on against us. Boi►rmont has promised to bring down our funds on the English 'Stock Exchange, by doing which he hopes to be able to raise money for himself. It was with this view he occupied Ajuda, which you know is without our lines, his object being to print the Gazette there, to date it from Lisbon, and thus to make it be believed that he was in possession of the capital ; but you now know the truth, and what he met with on the sth, Lord William Russell, having to send a message by Colonel Hare to Don Miguel, suggested to the Emperor that some communication might thus be opened. The Emperor declared that he svould pro mise nothing to Don Miguel except a pension for life; that he felt the greatest horror at the effusion of blood, but that the blame must rest on the two nations who permitted Bourmont and 500 Vendean officers to remain in Portugal, and that these nations ought to interfere. Colonel Hare then went off, and passed our lines. He saw Bourmont, and complained to him of the aggression committed on English property in Belem, and on the house of S. F. Pinto Basto, which bore the English flag, was the residence of Lord W. Russell, and from which a sergeant had been carried off prisoner. Bourmont replied in the French way, by shrugs of his shoulders. Bourmont has not the success of Don Miguel so much at heart as the removal of his army to Spain. Hia object is, after assisting Don Miguel, to join Don Corloe, and, supported by the Absolutists, to pass with his army through apatn into Prance. I hope the tricks the Miguelites wish to play on our funds will be understood in England, and that people will be on their guard against it. Our lines extend from Alcantara to Habregos, and 50,000 men could not carry them. LISBON, SEPT. 7.—The sth of this month was another day of glory for the brave and loyal troops composing the liberating army, and for the worthy inhabitants of this capital, who, being formed into regiments and armed, boldly faced the enemy, in defence of the throne of their legitimate Sovereign and the liberties of their country. The rebel army, abandoning the siege of the heroic city of Oporto, directed itself by forced marches upon Lisbon, and on the above-named day, at half-past five in the morning, began its move ments towards some points of the centre of the line, with a force of 12,000 men, advancing in columns, and charging the positions of San Sebastian da Pedreita arid Campolide. The breasts of the valiant defenders of the Queen supplied the incomplete state of the fortifications, and the rebels, in the two attacks they made, were repulsed with a very considerable loss, which, according to the most mo derate calculation, amounted to 2,400 in killed and wounded. Our loss does not exceed 200 men hors de combat; and the liberating army, which had no occasion to call its reserve into action, furnished the enemy on this occasion with another proof of what discipline and courage can accomplish, joined to the confidence which the army reposes in its august chief, and in defence of a just and national cause. His Im perial Majesty was constantly in the fit - ;id, exposed to the greatest danger, animating, by his presence, the brave soldiers of the liberating army, and only withdrew when the flying and defeated enemy re treated to their encampments. The city remained in such tranquillity, that but for the noise of the artillery, nobody would have supposed that an attack had been made. The worthy citizens of all classes, whose health or age would not admit of active service, went round the streets to maintain order and the public peace ; in a word, these citizens, as well as those enlisted, were rivals in valour and patriotism with the inha bitants of the loyal city of Oporto; and his Impe rial Majesty feels the noblest pride at finding him self at the head of so brave and faithful a people. In the Chronica of to-day the bulletin of this 'orilliant defence cannot appear, but it contains a short article which may enable you to form an idea of an event which places in perfect security the capital of the kingdom, where shortly are ex pected, with an anxiety suitable to such loyal hearts, their Majesties the Most Faithful Queen and the Duchess of Braganza, and her Imperial Highness the Princess Donna Maria Amelia. LISBON, SEPT. 7.—General Bourmont having assembled the whole of his forces, about 12,000 men, on the 3d inst., at Campo Grande, recon noitred the ground in his front on the 4th, and on the morning of the sth commenced an attack on Campolide. The works were in a forward state, indeed quite sufficient to have withstood a heavier a ttack; and it was quite evident that they dis couraged the already tottering army of the Migue life General. There was some sharp fighting in the Quinta of the Marchioness of Lourical, as well as on the left, between that house and the road leading from Campolide to Bemfics, but no columns were brought up near enough to engage the line. A very daring but rash attempt was made by a French officer with a squadron of cavalry during the heat of the action in the Marchioness of Lourical's garden. He rode gallantly up to the muzzles of the guns in a redoubt, expecting to find a way in, but, with many others, met his death from the shower of musketry which was poured in upon them. During the early part of the fight, a squadron of lancers was sent to the heights above Ajuda to re connoitre. Soon after they retired, four squadrons of Miguelite cavalry showed on a height adjoin ing; two squadrons of lancers nad a squadron of the I Ith cavalry were immediately dispatched after them, and every one was anxiously looking out for a cavalry affair, but before their arrival the enemy had gone. The firing about two o'clock had much ceased, except amongst the battalion of volunteers of La mego, which regiment kept up a fire till dark, and most severely were they punished for it, as a little after du , k, while a company of the sth Cacadores engaged their front, the 31 regiment succeeded in gaining their flank and rear, and I should think not less than 200 of them were left dead. The scene the following morning, for a person unaccustomed to such sights, was truly horrible. I have often told you Oporto could never be taken by the Miguelite army. Lisbon is stronger in every way, more particularly in resources. The aqueduct has heeti cut, but it is of DO consequence, as there are numerous wells in the town ; besides which an abundant supply is brought from the other side of the river. SEPTEMBER 3 —Sir John Campbell, Lieutenant- General in Don Miguel's service, was taken off Figueira, with despatches from Don Miguel for London, by the brig of war 13 de Maio, which vessel was blockading Figueira, together with his secretary Taxugo, a Portuguese, and a noted and infamous character in Lisbon, Don Miguel's spy and informer; and through this person many vic tims have perished, never to tell the doleful suffer ings they experienced. A soi-clisant servant of Bourrneat, but evidently a Frenchman of rank, was also taken with them. They all three were taken to St. George's Castle, Lisbon, on the 29th, at midnight, to avoid the treatment they were likely to receive from a justly enraged people, under a strong guard. Sir John had taken his passage on board the schooner Queen, at Figueira, Cox master; and as this vessel broke and forced the blockade, she has been sent into Lisbon, having ninety pipes of fine old port on board. At Sines, on the 25th, sixty four guerillas were taken, twenty-four killed on the spot, and forty sent round to Lisbon. They had in their possession very valuable property, which they had plundered from the different inhabitants. One of the guerillas had on his person 301 b. weight of gold chains. The deserters from Don Miguel's army that ar rive at Villa Franca are computed at from ten to twelve per day, who are immed'ately draughted into the different regiments of the line. Almada Fort, on the south side, is now thorougly fortified, and they have also fortified the town of Almada, opposite Lisbon, by throw ing up strong works on all the leading roads into Almada. It is said (fict), " Don Pedro asserted last night (the 29th ult.) at the Palace, in con versing with the ladies and gentlemen who went there to pay their respects to his Majesty, that if' Miguel and his rebel troops would not come down to see him at Lisbon within eight or ten days, that he would then go up with his army to compliment the Miguelites." The army and the people are all of one mind, and are most anxious that the rebel army and Don Miguel should come down. The people are loud in their demands for the trial of Sir John Campbell, and his Secretary, the noted spy Taxugo. The lines of Lisbon commence at Santa Palonia, on the heights of San Joa da Cruz and Cruz da Pedra, the leading roads into Lisbon from Santrem. These roads have large fosses which lead up to the batteries, which are carried on in a northerly direc tion behind the heights of Pinha da Franca as far as the Quinta das Sefrestes ; from this height a strong battery, with four other batteries, _ T Santa Palonia. From this battery at Quinta das Se frestes a very large fosse is cut through the valley of Arrios, with a strong fortification, through the high road to the north, which works are carried on to the hill of Quinta da Manique, where there are also three batteries at Arco do Sigo. These works command the high road to Campo Grande, and also the small roads leading into the city. The works proceed in a westerly direction to Pouva, San Sebas tian de Pedreira, to protect the high road to Bem fica, Mafra, &c. Hence the lines go to Campolide, one of the high roads into Lisbon from Bemfica, Campo Grande, &c. From Catnpolide batteries and fosses are formed to the heights of the Arches, Arco do Cravalho, north of Campo d'Ourique, a very strong battery, which commands the country round about, and the valley of Alcantara. The lines continue in a south direction on the roads of the valley of Alcantara, down to Aicantara-bridge, where a very strong battery is erecting, command ing the high road to Belem. The lines of Lisbon are very strong and well planned. They commence to the east of Lisbon and Santa Palonia, takea north direction, making a circuit to the westward, a south direction, and tinish at Alcantara, west of Lisbon. So you observe they make a complete circuit of Lisbon. They are now nearly complete. They haze daily 4,000 men at work, troops of the line about 9,300, including 960 cavalu, all well mounted, and in fine condition. The lines are all garrisoned by the Lisbon Volunteers, who are resolved to de fend their newly acquired rights as freemen, and to lose their liberty only with their lives. Men of all classes, rank, and station, have come for hard voluntarily to serve in the different corps formed in the city; they have already 18,000 men well-oflicered, armed, and equipped, and 12,000 more enlisted, but in want of arms, who daily re ceive 650 stand of arms, which are repaired at the arsenal, and at which place there is a reserve of 3,600 stand, only in want of slight repairs. They have also armed 1,250 foot-lancers, accord ing to Mucerone's plan. So you see we have got a force capable of finishing Miguel, should he come down, and which every day gets stronger. The following may serve to refresh the memories of some of your readers respecting Sir J. Camp bell : (From the Chronica Constilucional of Oporto, D•c. 15, 1832.) Through the kindness of a Lisbon correspond ent, to whom we are much indebted for the ac curacy of his news on all interesting occasions, we are enabled to place before our readers, nearly word for word, the extraordinary language used by Lieutenant-General Sir John Campbell, of the Miguelite service, towards Captain Gates and crew of the Snipe, a British merchant vessel, which was lost off Villa do Conde, late in the month of September last. The following conversation on the part of Sir John Campbell, in addressing Captain Gates, took place at Agoas Santos on the 30th of September last :—" You damned infernal rascals : oh you infernal villains! So you are come for money to make war on a peaceful country, and its legitimate, most humane, and excellent King. Oh you villains ! I regret you are only prisoners of war. I should like to hang you all, you pack of in fernal scoundrels, on the next tree : your deaths would be no loss to your country. England had never before such a rascal for a King, nor such a set of pusillanimous scoundrels for Ministers. They are afraid to declare war against Portugal, the King and the nation they have so much injured by their perfidious duplicity and rascality. No; the fellows won't declare war, as they know nothing would be so pleasing and beneficial to the Portuguese." We have reason to know that the British Consul-General at Lisbon, by order of his Government, has forwarded to Lord Palmerston Captain Gates's deposition on oath; what will his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry, and the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Beresford say of their protege when they read this very loyal effusion of their gallant and much-respected friend ? This was the term used by the most Noble Mar. quis (Londonderry) towards Lieutenant-General Campbell in the House of Lords, when he favoured that august assembly for nearly an hour by reading a very long epistle from a most gallant and highly distirguished friend of his (the Marquis of London derry's), naming Lieutenant-General Sir John Campbell of the Portuguese service, in which the writer (Vamphell) states, " that his Royal and be loved master Don Miguel is the perfect model for all good men and ail good Princes to follow who are anxious fur the happiness and welfare of their people." —(" Hear, hear," from all sides of the House, and immense laughter.) MEETING IN COMPLIMENT OF MR. R. B. HOPPNER. (from tLe Chronica of the 2d.) In consequence of the invitation that appeared in this paper on the 26th ult., a considerable number of respectable persons of known patriotism, whose names will be made public, met on the 29th ult. in the concert-room of the Theatre of San Carlos, and elected the Councillor of State Maned de Castro Pereira as their President, and as secretaries, tE•e Superintendent of the Mint, Joao Mouzinho de Albuquerque, and Advocate Joaquim Jose da Costa e Limas. The PRESIDENT opened the business of the day by espla+nine► the object of the meeting, and sub :hitted the following propositions to its dehbera- ion : I. That this meeting wishes to express puhliely the :egret it feels on account of Mr. Hoppner's departure, who is so worthy the esteem of all good Portuguese. 2. That it acknowledges and declares that Mr. Hopp.. ner, by his constant readiness to assist the unfortunate, to relieve the distressed, and protect the persecuted, thus ful filling the duties of a Christian, and the agent of the Government of a great and free nation, succeeded in diminishing the evils brought by the usurpation on the Portuguese, without ever quilting the path marked out by the duties of his office, and the policy of the Cabinet of his Britannic Majesty. 3. That in order to perpetuate the remembrance of their sentiments of gratitude and regret, this meeting proposes to open a subscription, intending with the produce of it to offer to Mr. Hoppncr an allegorical piece of plate, either in silver or gold, which shall be sent to him wherever he may be residing. 4. That this meeting will appeint a committee of three of its members, to be charged with the execution of what ever it may decide upon. And, the above resolutions having been unani mously approved, it was likewise carried by a plu rality of votes, 5. That this committee shall consist of the President and Secretaries of the present meeting. 6. That the sum to be subscribed by each individual shall not exceed 480 reis, 2s. 2d., in order that all per sons may join in the subscription ; and no one be com pelled to suppress the feelings of his heart—or to forego his concurrence in it—from a mistaken vanity nut to affix his name to a small sum by the side of larger ones. 7. That the Committee shall be charged to receive the signatures. S. That the subscription shall only be open for the space of one month, and 9.

And that in these the respective signatures will be re ceived on payment of the above sum. AIANOEL DE CASTRO PEREIRA. President of the Committee. (From the Cornubian.) We have just been favoured with the following extract of a letter, received by a gentleman in this town from his correspondent at Plymouth, and dated last evening :—" The officers of the Echo report that the battle of the sth was very severe; that the Miguelites were repulsed, and on the 11th llourmont sent in 15 articles of capitulation, which William Russell interfered, and soon after the Echo was despatched; and the officers have no doubt that the capitulation had been signed, as flags and other marks of rejoicings were manifested as they were leaving the Tagus." CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES IN PORTUGAL. (From Woolmer's Exeter Gazette.) Gazette-office, Saturday, Four o'clock. We stop the press for the purpose of announcing information we have just been favoured with by gentleman direct from Plymouth, who obtained it from the officers on board the Echo. He states that General Bout mont and Don Mi euel had made propositions to Don Pedro and Lord William Russell, our Plenipotentiary at Lisbon, for an amicable termination of the contest. Lord Russell did not consider himself at liberty lo consent to these propositions without the au thority of the English Government, and on that account the Echo steamer was immediately dispatched to this country, that a statement of the terms pro posed by Don Miguel might be laid before the British Cabinet; and, therefore, until the answer is returned to our Ambassador, there will be a cessa tion of hostilities. Immediately on the arrival of the Echo at Ply mouth, an express was dispatched to London. Don Miguel is understood to have made six propositions ; that his estates shall be preserved to him--that the past shall be forgotten, and his adherents pro tected, &c. The French General Clouet, one of the com manders of the Miguelite army, was killed in the battle of the sth instant. As the Echo passed Oporto, the water was quite discoloured with the port wine which had flowed into the sea in streams; 13,000 pipes were said to have been destroyed. Our informant, who is a most respectable mer chant ,connected with Oporto, states that the truth of this intelligence may be relied on. (From a second edition of the Hampshire Telegraph Sunday Morning, Nine o'clock. The London papers of last evening haviug uni versally surmised that the Echo steamer has brought private intelligence of a direful nature, we hasten to publish the following letters from our very intelli gent Lisbon correspondent, a gentleman long a re• silent in that city, and one who, from his situation and local knowledge, is possessed of the true situa tion of affairs as regards both parties. His confident tone will infuse fresh spirits into those who wish well to the Constitutional cause, though it is much to be lamented that the besotted ignorance of the great commonalty of the Portuguese people should render them such dupes to the influence of the low and vulgar priesthood, whose power is so great, and whose love for Catholic absolutism so determined, that they effectually prevent the promulgation of any feeling in favour of the young Queen's cause, except on the ground covered by her troops : " LISBON, SEPT. I2.—Nothing has passed since mine of the Bth, except another strong reconnois sance to the Ajuda, Belem, and vicinity, about which they stayed the whole day and returned at night. During the whole afternoon there was more or less firing on the Pedroite side, now and then guns and mortars form Alcantara and Mafredale battery (the extreme west), no injury done ; this was on the 9th. 4f The iNliguelites occupied the Ajuda Palace the whole day, and took from it a good deal of furni ture, and in the town or village took off a little from the Portuguese, but left every EllgliSllManS property unmolested. The General Lemos, ill l i vnitleerree ep h t e ed ho le ld tt s e h r, i t i b c er o e ur i: t, : c m . e .E r c e ‘la a , " ; reply to a letter which Admiral Parker sent him, has assured the Admiral that he would do all in his power to protect British property. He dated etac't an an attack is contetnpla.ed, his letter Ajuda. Last night and during the night, ts a ,4,t t , : ill e tee l ti v dou: h e e xp a pna v ely y : gulls were fired, but nothing we believe them too weak. Don Miauel is several children, could get no real relief from a regular doctor. He told me that he was paying a large sum annu ally to a professional man, and he really slid believe he was picking his p icket. He has administered the Vegetable Universal Medicine to all his family, and his lady is recommending them to all her neighbours. In consequence of their receiving such a substantial benefit they are determined to have no other medicine than the Hygean pills, which they so much esteem. The next case I shall mention is a lady near the Tower, who hail laboured under a complication of disorders for the last fourteen years, and who called at my house to make inquiry about the astonishing cures which have brew per formed by Mr. Morison's Universal Medicine, and as she was well acquainted with me for some years, she could place confidence in the veracity of my word. I gave her a detail• d account of the wonderful good it had done me, and lent her the Morisoniana, requesting her to inspect it it very minutely. In a few days she sent for a l ls. packet, and went through a regular course, and so strictly did she pay attention to the directions, that in one month she came to thank me for my attention to her case, and declared that the Hygean pills had done more for her in one month than all the medicine she had taken for the last fourteen years. She said that she would always keep them in her house, and recommend them to Ler friends, for they had made a perfect cure of her. Mr. —, her husband, immediately commenced taking them. He had very recently had an apoplectic fit, and found relief. He has no fear of the return of his disease, and has no doubt the pills ba.ve prevented the return. The next case is a gentleman's daughter, in Bedford square, whom I have known from her infancy ; she was always a very delicate young woman, therefore I embraced the opportunity of calling on her father to inquire how his children were. He told me he expected to lose one in a decline, for she was given over by all the doctors, and he had this moment paid a M. D., in the parlour, between eighty and ninety pounds, and she was worse than when he undertook to cure her. He had just pronounced her incurable, begging, at the same time, that she might be permitted to die as easily as she could, as they could do no more for her. I was desired to take a seat in the parlour, and my friend would see me immediately. He had no idea that I came to recon - anend Mr. Morison's Vegetable Uni versal Medicine, but I immediately inquired the particu lars respecting the young lady. Her father said it was all over with her now, for, the last, M.D. had pronounced her incurable. I, nevertheless, urged the necessity of at least a trial of Mr. Morison's Hygean Pills. Her father said that it was of no use, but referred to the mother. It was in vain, however, to say anything to her, for she would not hear so much as the mention of them ; there fore, after a long conversation, I bid them farewell. When I returned borne, I reflected on the importance of saving a life that might prove valuable, and the awful consequences of neglecting to exercise the power that God in his providence has thrown in the way to save it, and at the same time made up my mind to pay another visit. Ac cordingly, the next day, after breakfast, I walked to Bed ford-square, and found them just sitting down to breakfast, and of course, being an old fiend, I was asked into the room, and as my business was urgent, I introduced the business of the number of cures the Hygean Pills had performcd,and in very similar cases. The lady said they had been recommended from another quarter, but she was snre they would be of no service to her, and to prove what she said, she requested me to put my ear to her breast, and I might easily feel her heart beat like a ham mer. I was very much surprised, but was thoroughly convinced in my own mind that she would be recovered by Mr. Morison's Hygean Medicine. They were all against it, but I urged the necessity of trying them. They wished her to die as easy as she could ; as she was persuaded by her medical adviser. I then re quested she would indulge me by reading the " Morisoniana" at her leisure hours, and she said she certainly would do herself the pleasure of gratifying me the next day. I left the book, and promised to call in one week. I called according to promise, and found her parents very low in spirits respecting their daughter. I told them to cheer up, anti that I would venture to say that their daughter would recover, if she would abide by the directions given by Mr. Morison, and requested at the same time that she would call on Mr. Morison at his house. She promised to do so. 1 attended at the time appointed, and found that the principles of the Great Ilygean had shaken her resolutions ; likewise her parents. The father said he was determined to make up his mind to permit her to use her own judgment ; therefore, he would leave it to her ; and said, my friend, you shall have it from her own mouth. She was called into the parlour, and after taking a seat, she appeared more like a corpse than a living person. Her father said to her Mr. Coverly wishes you to say whether you have made up your mind to try Mr. Morison's Vegetable Universal Medicine. I will thank you to say what you thought of the Morisoni Ina. Sir,—l do declare I cannot express my feelings. (Her eye appeared to brighten and voice was very distinct anti clear.) I, with pleasure, at this moment declare to you I am satisfied with Mr. Morison's theory, and will go through a course without fear. I have made up my mind, I will begin immediately. I assure you I felt my self very much gratified, and said, I am quite persuaded they will cure you. She purchased a I Is. packet, and of course found herself very poorly at first, but when she had got over the first sensations the difficulty was over, and she continued, with cheerfulness, until she had increased to the amount of twenty every dose. The next visit I made, I was surprised to find her mind lively, anti her hopes increased, and when I called next week, I found her quite another person in appe trance, and by her deter mination to pay strict attention to Mr. Morison's regular tions, to eat no salted melt or salted 1613, anti in par ticular to refrain from taking any spirits, she is now quite another person, and in less titan three months had, with her husband, given the sum of 5001. for a business in the country, and is repeatedly behind the counter attending the business. The next case I shall report is Mrs. a lady near the Tower, who has laboured under a very severe afflic tion of the passing of gall stones. I was desired to call on her at and after a little conversatton, she showed me a box of stones, sotne of them were as big as the top of my little finger. I viewed this box of curiosities, and felt myself very thankful that it was not my case. I lent her the Practicle Proof, and after she had read it, she agreed to take them, and in a little time her son came for more pills, and declared the Vegetable Universal Medicine had done for her what no other doctor could do, for it had cost her a large sum of money for advice, and she was the same as when she first began. The Hygean Pills had reduced the stones into sand, and she intended to con tinue to take them, and I have no doubt but they will be of the most essential service so her. . I will just mention that a gentleman shoemaker who was very much afflicted with the rheumatism in the hips and his wife with general debillity, both in one month found themselves quite recovered from their inability, and have left off taking them, quite satisfied of the utility of keeping the Hygean Pills always by them. The next case is a German gentleman, who was given over by a number of the faculty, and had been recom mended by the father of the person who went into business. When he came to me he could scarcely stand, but in three months has recovered his inabillity, and now is following his business. His lady likewise has been taking them all the time of her pregnancy, and is now doing well, and they say they will recommend them wherever they can. They likewise continue to keep them in the house. It I were to report every case that has come under my notice, you would soon fill a volume with cases of small import, such as tick- do!ereux, urinary obstructions, piles, lumb ,go, or extreme costiveness, &c. &c. &e. therefore, I shall just say I visited a gentleman, at the west end, who positively told me that his own physician begged of hi m not to mention names, and h e would without hesitation inform him that all his family, who are now in the country, are in the habit of taking them. In fact the greater part of those that have taken them once, tell me, they never will he without them, and in general beg that their names may not be made public, hut I will gratify any inquirer, and, upon oath, if requir-d. A gentleman upon the point of going to France, who has taken at least 1,200 Elygean Pills, was with me last night. Ile has received the greatest benefit, for a complication of disorders, and has been under a number of M.D.'s, none of whom could do bins any good. This gen tleman has been very particular in attending to the . printed directions, and has absolutely been living on milk a!I the time that be has been taking them. He declares lie will take them to France with him, and make them as public as possible. Sir—l think you will be gratified at the astonishing progress the Vegitable Universal Medicine is making in the EAST INDIA HOUSE, JULY 30, 1833. THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the UNITED COMPANY of MERCHANTS of ENGLAND, TRADING to the EAST INDIES, do hereby give Notice, That a QUARTERLY GENERAL COURT of the said COMPANY will be held at their House in Leaden hall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the 25th September next, at E.even o'clock in the Forenoon. PETER AUI3ER, Secretary. GERMAN AND HAMBURG PAPERS. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 14.—The day before yester day a new ship of the line, of 84 guns, wa; hunched here, in presence of their Majesties and the Royal Family, and received the name of the Skjold. The navy now consists of six ships of the line of from 64 to 84 guns, six frigates of 36 to 46 guns, six corvettes of 20 guns, six brigs from 12 to 18 guns, six cutters and schooners of 8 guns, and seventy gun-boats with one or two guns ; so that a squadron with 1,000 guns might be sent to sea. BERLIN, SEPT. 15.—A new proof of the firm and sincere relations now subsisting between Austria and Prussia, and which have been strengthened by the personal interview of the two Sovereigns, has made a very agreeable impression on our army. The Emperor has invited our King to send a number of Staff and superior officers, of all arms and ranks, to the great review of 75,000 men, which is to take place at Verona. His Majesty has accepted the invitation, and the following officers are to set out on the 20th for Italy :—Duke Charles of Mecklen- burg, commanding General of the Guards; two Aides-de-Camp, Major-General Von Theile 11., of the Infantry; Colonel Von Witzlehen, brother of the Minister of War ad interim ; of the Artillery, Colonel Saft. The Colonel of Cavalry is not yet appointed. All these Staff-officers are to travel at the King's expense, and have each four post-horses allowed him free at every stage. It seems that the report that the Emperor of Russia will pass through Kalisch on his return is confirmed ; it is reported that he has said he will visit that place, on account of the fidelity manifested by it during the late insurrection. HANOVER, SEPT. 16.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge has been for these four days at Roten Kircher).
