Every disorganization of the human balite requires great medical knowlei'ge to remedy, and the public welfare is pro m,ted whcn Professional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and interested) devote their 411(lics to the treatment of thus complaints generated b) imprudence, and the ebullition of the pas , ions at an unguarded moment. " 'the stre,igth of a nation consists in the health of the peo ple ;" but it is ntelancholy to reflect on'the daily sited dee to the ignorance cf unfeeling empyricism; and to counteract as far as possible' its further ravages, we offer to suffering hu manity the result of our pwn experience in the various dis eases of Debility.* The unwary victim of solitary vice, (early acquired at school before Reason has asserted her right over the mind ' ) will, in contemplating his powerless state, beciiine susceptible of .enlivening sensations, in knowing that the mo , t- complicated state of exhaustion may be roused into m ,iiy ene,gy.—lntense study—immoderate anxiety—long -•esidence iu tropical climes, and many other causes, will fr quently derange the Nervous Svtent ; in such cases we can h ihi out an assurance of re-animation, by remedies which hate long answered the sanguine hopes of patients of uotb seees. That bane to human happiness Lues Vencrea, can now he treated fearlessly, the improvedstate of Medical Science' hay ing divested its antidote of those distressing properties that so long rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing. We best explain our method by observing to patients labour-, int under this malady, that a few days only are required for the ref,,oval of early symptoms ; that the most inveterate case wilt yield to out remedies within a month, and that in a person who only suspects himself injured, the disease may be prevented altogether from appearing ;—a similar remark applies to many other derangements of the generative system, as weakness, ulcerations, '&c. especially strictures, obstinate cases of which are daily removed without the'usc of caustic or stimulants. Some peculiarities incidental to the softer sex have not escaped our attention, in which mildness, com bined with efficacy,-has superseded the means usually adopt ed. In fine, our system is unique, peculiarly energetic, and eminently successful. Educated in this our native city; schooled in our profes sional attainment by its splendid medical characters; and having been able, uerscually, to compare with admiration the British Surgical - practice with the Continental, our preten sions to superiority (in a branch we have selected) are ma tured. by experience, which is evinced by the daily applica tioas we receive, even from distant countries..

PAPERS RELATING TO THE SLAVE TRADE. (Printed t!y Order of the House of Commons) The tollowinv, are Extracts of Letters frorn Sir Laeas Yeo and Captain Fisher, 8.. N. to J. W. Croker, From Sir J. L. Teo, dated Nov. 7, 1816. I have :a ready given it 'as my opinion, that a free and extensive intercourse and trade could with ease be opened in the interior of Atria; to effect which, I %vapid recommend cultivating the friendship and good will of the several kings and chiefs, by making them suitable presents, and al lowing theta a participation in trade, for which they are all most eager, an:l would enter into with spirit, if effectually deprived 'of a slave Market, and our forts and castles were in the hauds of Gove7'nment, so that a merchant could receive be nefit from their protection, the'presynt system be ing incompatible with the interest of the separate and Open trader. The African is very superior in hitellect and capacity to the generality of Indians in North America, they are more' social and friendly to strangers, and, except in the vicinity of the European settlements, are a floe noble race of men. It is only in a commercial - point of view that I think Africa at present worthy our attention. Agriculture I would le,ive to the na tives, who would, if there was an extensive trade nil consumption on the coast, soon find it their interest to cultivate the ground. lam dltm per suaded that our West India colonies might soon be supplied with abundance of live stock ; whiei•e-• as that profitable trade is at present iu the hands of the Americans ; our Gervetionent pay anenorm ous price, and our islands are very ill supplied. When we were at Barbadoes, no fresh beef could be obtained (though there is an order in favour of purchasing for ships from the Coast of Africa), and the squadtoti"on that Station had not any fresh beef for several weeks. To facilitate and protect our trade on that coast, X would strongly recom mend our obtaining from the Portuguese-Govern ment two islands, either St. Jago or St. Nicholas, off the Cape de Verd Islands ; and St. Thomas, on the Equator. The first would not only an swer for a safe depot for our merchants trading to that part of the coast, but would afford pasture for the cattle ; from whence they could be trans ported to our West India Islands, and supply our Outward bound ships and western cruizers with refreshments. It would - open the cattle trade to our merchants, - at the eapence of America ; and would prevent our enemy making it their haunt in war, by which they are enabled to elude our cruisers, and oroatinue longer at sea. Several American privateers refited at these islands, and also their frigates, one of which remained at Brava upwards of a week. St Thomas, on the Equator, is a very fruitful island, about the size of the I sleot Wight; it abounds in cattle,gOats, hogs, poultry and fruit of every description ; the sugar cane grows in the most luxuriant manner, and EPRIC SEVENPENCE. . . the coffee is very superior . t o t h e Wist there is a Very good port for merchatit vevsrls, and two good bays for ships of war ; and it is so situated, thiir the ships 'torn tLeGold Coast can fetch.ii . friim the starboard tack.. the wind bring in general from S. to S. ; and it is the most desirable part for ships to sail from, if bohnd tip the coast, to EurtiAtm or the West Indies'; as by keeping -to the iOntliward -of the Equator, yiet haVe the wind at south, and sometimes at S. S• E. The inconstant. went from St. Thomas's to Sierra Leave, a distance of 1,300 Ira:les directly to wind, ward, in ten days. .11 a vc-ssel attempts to keep nearer the coast she get's I. the influence of the westerly winds, and a strong current always go ing to the eastward."

" 1)e g , leave to into to you,— for their Lordships ioformation,, that ioiving landed . the specie at sierra Leone, .I sailed rota that river nu th 21st 'df January, to visa our different settle ments cin the coast, and to look 'after an armed scLooner Spanish colouts, who had plun dered an English brig and several other,vessels,• but without success, for though there is 'late r nn doubt but most , of the armed vi =sets under Spank!) colours, trading for slave-, are guilty of piracy, yet it is very difficult, t not impos., ,de to detect them - in the act. This is ncithel the only or the least evil our trade II anti s'.:ifer from so extensive a" Slave Tra , 'e uutoer the Spanish flag, for now they feel ascii own h ecori. y, and do not fear any molestation, they do not hesitate to take their slaves on board in the vicinity and es en between-the British forts ; the consequence will be, that they will supply the natives with every iclethey stand in need of (arms and powder included) 'at a Much cheaper rate than our mer chants can afford to do, and will revive a traffic, Waich ie certainly most popular with every can I have seen, The natives at our different forts begin al ready to hope for a participatiim in the trade.- 1‘ am sorry to say that these vessels receive great encouragement and, assistance from the Du►clh Governor in Chief Diendels ; And as Elmina is only seven miles from Cape Cost Castle, it can. not fail to•prove prounaive of most mischievous effects to our settlements."
