UNDER the denotninatioa of NERVOUS DISORDERS, in its full extent, are included several Diseases of the most dangerous kind, and arc so various, that a volume would hardly snilice to complete a description of them. The most common symptoms are weakness, flatu lency, palpitations, watchfulness, drowsiness after eating, timidity, flashes of heat and cold, numbness, rigours of dif ferent parts, giddiness, pains (especially of the head, baCk, and loins), hiccup, difficulty of respiration and deglutition, anxiety, dry cough, &c. - One symptom is distinguished by no name, and of which it is impossible to form any adequate conception. It is'de scribed as making its attacks by violent paroxysms, which are, however, usually preceded by portentous indications like the blooding of a furious storm. It pervades with its baleful influence the whole nervous system, writhing the hea:t with ineApressible anguish, and exciting the most 'dreadful sug gestionS of horror and despair ! To this demon. have thou sands fallen a sacrifice in the direful transports of its rage. Nothing, therefore, can be more important to the com munity, than a diligent perusal of those Authors who have'so ably treated on this most alarming, most distressing, and less pitied complaint incident to the human frame. It certainly requires " A Guide to Health," to lead from such scenes of calamity and woe to those of happiness and felicity - A Publication under that title, " The Guide to Health," was lately published hy.Dr. Solomon, of Liverpool, and its unprecedented sale of upwards of 100,000 copies has suffi ciently proved its vast utility to the public; most of the va rious diseases incident to either sex are plainly treated on with that candour and liberality which are conspicuouS traits in the character of the Author. Most Booksellers in Town and Country sell this book, price 35., or can procure it for their customers at the same price, free of carriage. It there fore behoves every individual to become possessed of so va luable a jewel, a faithful " 6uide," which will lead them from the paths of affliction to the road where health, peace, and happiness are to be attained.

No. 9, New Bridge-street, London HONOURED SIR, IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venerea ; which, from its obstinately resisting every course 91 medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my. disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my e-;:tence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my bead, one on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warns in is e a, as nearly to deprive me of rest •, in this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to doors the 213th of Jay; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit -in little inure than a month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed — wan after, the sores on my legs - healed also ; leaving - , how ever, considerable diseoleuration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, .and a little longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, silk:soled ; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and the noctursial pains -gradually going thus became,. by your liberal advice and medicine , perfectly free from all my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits avid strength, and ani become jolly and fat, in which state hav ng continued many months, to the astonishment of all whok new me, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude,but beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals,. to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa ion; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,' ALEX.

It is not designed to employ many ,words upon the enormity of the offence committed on the person of the Sovereign. • It was but the natth•al and ordinary illustration of the effects of those desperate principles, by means of which igno rance and indigence had been debauched out of all patience and *subordination ; disqualified for the practice of resignation, or of fortitude under the general pressure ; and depraved out of that respectable humility, which al vays affects and in terests the more enlightened and prosp'erous orders of the community. They became intoxicated with a poisonous sophistry, and they were conse- quently inflamed with a rage fob ~commotion --a phrenzy for uproar, violence, anarchy, and--*-- they acted accordingly : they raised their hands in fury against the person of the Sovereign, Aile employed in one of his greatest public functions, the calling together of the Legislative co-estates. Upon this occasion, Parliament were not wanting in their duty to the country. They were not much influenced by the sneers -which a party en deavoured to cast upon the testimony of Lord • James Murray—the eye-witness of this diabolical outrage, and the personal informant of the House of Commons of its circumstances. ' They . were not overawed by the ridicule which was indeco rously directed against the details: of that occur rence ; nor were they dissuaded from a firm and a faithful discharge of their duty, by the pettifog ging dexterity which sou ght to deprive what had taken place of a large portion of its scandal, as well as of its criminality, by maintaining that no air-gun had been employed—that, as there were no bullets to be found, none were employed —and that, as no bullets were employed, no ex treme injury coati be intended to the person of his Royal HighnesS the Regent ! The laborious subtlety with which the Anti-Ministerial, Party. (Rad their Alliek, the Reforotri•el, - • e d to palliate this heinous offence, had not all the in fluence that they hoped, or that they desired, Tither upon the Parliament or the Nation. The reasoning could not he wholly ineffective, it is true. They who were the promoters of the Spa fields democratic levities—who favoured, openly, the stationary anti established sedition of Notting ham—who clamoured against every ordinary act of the Government, as the open evidence of its corruption—who declared for Annual Parliaments as the birth-right of mile people, anti Universal Suffrage as their natural privilege- 7 -all those sup 7 ported what bad been said, in mitigation of the crime attempted by the populadefor all those reckoned upon the co-operation of 'the populace, as a necessary engine of the political regeneratiost which they were preaching tip; The Opposition laboured with indefatigable zeal, to soften down the attempt : because it denoted no advantage to their politics, to their scheme of displacing the Ministers, and succeeding to their offices, that a strong and general sensation should be made upon the mind of the nation, by what had taken place. It boded them little service, that men's minds should be brought to reflect seriously upon , the events of the times, ,or to contemplate the despe rate effects of a systematic and a selfish hostility to the measures of the Governmentifor it was impossible to expect, with any reason, that the public reflection could take a turn of this sort, without a universal persuasion prevailing, 05 a consequence, that the spirit of the times was li cAntious, daring, hazardous, and enamoured of novelty—that the lower orders of society had been tainted with a pernicious longing after change; and that much of this formidable mischief was imputable to that undo': and unjust opposition, which is obstinate in reviling all the measures of the Government with equal virulence, if they be good, as-if they were bad—if they be wise, as if they were foolish ;—whiCh pursues its own parti cular schemes, whilst it is accusing every man in pike of depravity and corruption ; which has no exceptions in its invective, no qualifications in its reproach—which assumes that all the Members of the rival party in .office are weak and bad—all their designs absurd and oppressive—and all their inclinations bottomed upon hostility to the inte rests of the people. It could not have served the designs of the Opposition, to have a'grre and a serious opinion roused in the nation, respecting the awful aspect of affairs, when the sovereign could not call his Parliament together, except at the risk of being assassinated; when the mobs of several cities and towns were clamouring for a Change in the most fundamental parts of the Con stitution ; when the lust for outrage was spread ing far and wide; when it became a way to af fluence and-popularity, to harangue the populace concerning the national ruin—or to write to their passions and their prejudices, in favour of the necessity of revolt, and the virtue 'of open re sistance to the Governtueut. The clectrick shock Of this nature abd effect was the attack on the person of his Royal Highnes the Prince Regent. The uncertainty of speculation was disavowed in this=—the temerity of inference was Out of the question. It was a rank, positive act, full of o rible adMonition, abounding in an awful wan - ing--kertain, criminal, and alarming. It Must have a cause, and that, in theuniverse of circum stances; it would be impossible to discover, ‘vittf out going to search in the predispositions of-those, by whom it has been committed.. There was no thing in the going to rarliathent, or in the return ing from it, which could stimulate crowds to st-• (tido!), and individuals to treason and murder. The cause must lie deeper—in some 'settled and overruling excitement—and that excitement must be sought after, in the immense variety of at teMpts made by the professors of doctrines of all sorts and descriptions, to gain the populace over to their side ; in the particular nature of those doctrines and their influence, and in the collective effect of them all ;—and, in an inquiry upon this subject, if carefully and impartially made, it will appear ultiznatelyllemonstrated, that the collec tive effect of the speeches which aimed at •the greatest share of popularity, and the writings which aspired to the largest portion of authority over the pliblic understanding, was to alienate the . people from their Government ; to indispose them against their establishments and institutions; and to mature in them an inclination in favour of the wildest political experiments. It is not extraordinary in point of .policy, that the Oppositidn should desire to see a convincing event, like this attack upon the person of the Re• gent, undervalued and cried down, into some thing as near an ordinary ebullition of turbulence as possible. By concealing the dangerous nature of its cause, the good sense of the public, might possibly remain unexcited, or but partially slirect ed to a contemplation of the signs and chasacters of the new scheme of things,. which has scr'snany advocates ; and the less reflection exercised, the more advantageous to the Opposition—because re flection would -necessarily turn the thoughtful prudence,, and the circumspect good. sense of the country, against all descriptions of persons whose common system it is, to calumniate the Govern ment and disquiet the people ; and this effect could not be brought about, without deep and c.rinne dvtriment In the oppoeition themselves. for very obvious reasons. Besides this disposition of mind in the nation could not he emsiloyed, without•inducing a certain advantage to the Mi nistry—for, as delusion became dissipated, by re flecting upon the true state of affairs, the obliga tions due to the Ministers must become plainer and more impressive ; and there must follow an earnest desire to place in the hands of such men, every confidence requisite for preserving the whole frame of the Constitution, from the hostilities which threatened it upon so many sides. The public opiniiin could not agitate a resolution of so much importance, without adverting to the ser , vices which the Administration had already ren tiered the country, in delivering it from the evils of a long and bloody conflict,- in which its very existence was implicitly end distinctly iuvolved— in delivering it nutsof this struggle with a greater acquisition, as to conquest-, than England ever had obtained before—with greater lustre -and re nown. than ever nation before had acquired—amid the shouts, and applause and thanks, of an , ad miring world. It would be impossible to reflect upon. matter of such profound importance's with out two things unavoidably following —one, that the Opposition had invariably disputed every sin gle step, which had been taken towards this splendid and advantageous conclusion of the war— , had condemned the.puldie resources as inadequate to the maintaining of the contest—had decried, the nation's credit, power; and ability, while the credit, power, and ability of the enemy—the enes my that is now prostra:e—that only breathes by our generosity—exists by our permission—were extolled in exaggerated strains, and with-prepos terous admiration ; and the other, that as the Op, position were radically mistaken in many mighty affairs, told the Ministers so eminently and nobly in the right, it is not a matter of hesitation now, whose counsel is the better upon anew crisis—a new era, springing up in the political difficulties of the country. .Therecannot be an alternative between the two, recommended by experience, or sanctioned by the evidence of facts. All those considerations, - and with them the conclusions adverted to, naturally followed a due estimate of the cause's which excited the populace to an attempt upon the life of the Regent : and it was, therefore, the - policy of the Opposition, and not only of them, but of all - the more ferocious opposers of the Government, •by whatever names they are called, to obtrude any other than the right cause fOr this' atrocious attempt. But, as has been already said, they were unsuccessful in their policy—their craft was unavailing—the Par liament and the pedple saw the necessity of strengthening the hands of the Executive : and, on the terms of an enhanced responsibility in the advisers of the Crown, of lodging in the hands of the Sovereign extraordinary powers fur the common-preservation.
