Large portions of the lithiet* of lime, are also,
•during this precess, frequently removed, and would.
in every instance, I am persuaded, be prevented
from forming by a timely application of it. This sub-
etance, which ought to be deposited it the home, but
from the v..calmess of the vessels destined to perform
this office is net suffered to reach its destination,
eolleas in such quantities as to bolster up the joints
of (the toes and ankles, so as to render them coin-
pktely anchylose. This matter, by an uniform ac-
tion kept up on the part for some time, and fre-
quently repeated by well-regulated applications of
the machine, is, in a• great measure, dispersed, and
limbs rendered useful which couhi not be 'effefted
by any other means with which we are acquainted.
The paroxysms are placed at a greater distance,
and thus the second intention is also powerfully
aided by this applicationesThe aaion of the disease
is suspended, while all the other remedies may be
employed in turn. The principal one, with this in-
tention, is a radical and systematic change of the;
mode of living whiets originally induced it. The
miserable patient must retrace his step.; ; but this
must be done gradually, and with great caution.
The exciting causes. must he referred to, and their
undue aaierras gradually diminished as it was in-
duced. The advice of old Dr. Pitcairn to the llighlaiad
chieftain, who had been in'the habit of drinking a
. large goblet of whiskey every day, and who was de-
sirous of leaving it off, ought to be attended to,
namely, " That he should melt as much wax every
day into his goblet as would admit the impressier of
his seal :" by which means the quantity of the whis-
kw' was diminished daily, and the habit got rid of
inlhe best possible manner.
The ingenious, but refortimate Dr. Brown, rue-
.sued a cHfcrent plan. Supposing the enemy might
• be subdued by a colip-ds-main, he boldly pushed as are.
medytne concentrated force ofthe causes ofthe disease
On this rock he split, and expiated his fate i a me-
lancholy proof; !hat when great genius falls into er-
rors, those errors are frequently not of a trivial na-
ture A proof also, that he, who certainly surpassed
nn kind in genius, either mistook his own duarine,
or, what is infinitely less to the crcdit of humanity,
was not able to resist those habits which never fail
of producing the same catastrophe I Higher stimu-
lants than usual may for a time give relief, hut even-
tually produce greater debility ; and the example of
• Dr. Brown ouzit to operate as a negative one for
ever.
The deceitful, injurious, and mischievous cilia'
of the Portland powder, I should have considered
as uenecessary to have mentioned here, had not the

dissent from those who ascribe to it. thnguous

fea s.t
Wcrlboff,t a German, and first physician to his
late Majesty, for Hanover, condemns bitter reme-
dies in the gout, and is supported in the opinion by
hlarray,f the Gottingen professor.
1)' ,!fors Cullen, Darwin, and Falconer, of Bath,
strenuously support the sentiments of the latter, and
adduce unequivocal proofs of the bad effeCts of bit-
ters. "In every instance," says Dr. Cullen in his
Practice of Physic, sea. 557, " which I have known
of their exhibition, for the length of time prescribed,
the persons who had taken them were, indeed, free
from any inflammatory affection of the joints, but
they were afterwards affeaed with many symptoms
of the atonic gout ; and all, soon after finishing their
course of medicine, have been attacked with apo-
plexy, asthma, or dropsy, which proved fatal." In
a later publication, he observes, " It is possible that
several persons may have taken the Portland pow-
der and other bitters with seeming great advantage,
but I have not hail opportunity to know the sequel
of the whale of such persons lives, so .is to say posi-
tively bow fat, in any case, the cure continued steady
for a life of some years after, or what accidents har-
to their health. But I have had occasion te
Ceviel, or to be exaclly informed, of the fate of niee
or ten persons, who had taken this mealcine for the
time prescribed. which is two years. These persons
had been liable, fur some years before, to have a fit
of regular or. very painful. inflammatory gout, and
particelarly when they had completed the course
prescribed, had never a regular fit, or any inflamma-
tion of the extremities for the rest of their lives. In
no instance, however, that I have kown, was the
health of these persons tolerably entire. Soon after
finishing the course of their medicine, they became
valetudixtry in cliff... Tent shapes, and particularly
were much afilliCted with dyspeptic, and what are
called nervous complaints, with lowness of spirits. In
every one of them, before a year had pasacd, after
finishing the course of the powders, some hydropic
symptoms appeared, which, gradually increeiing in
the form of an iscites, cr hydrothorax, especially the
latter, joined with anasarea, in less than two, or at
rnost, three years, proved fatal. 'These accidents
happeeing to persons of some rank, became very
generally known in this country, and have prevented
all such ex.perimeuts*ince.ll •
Were it t.ecessary to adduce farther proof, So-
ranus, among the ancients; might he mentioned, as
hearing testimony. that these remedies were then held
in nu better estimation than at prtstat.
A steady adherence to an abstemious and regular
-.course of diet, entieisting of milk, vegetables with an
admixture of animal food, of the mildest kind, seems
to be the only plan co be depe;dcil on for a radical
cAze -of the gout.

LONDON,
MON DAY, Mktitcm 14.

It was yesterday reported, that Government had
received dispatches from 4..0rd n• OR T 'l, on
Saturday, relatlve to the .:bject matter in dispute
bltween the two countries. We do not believe that

any communieetion whatever was received on Sa-
turday, or yesterday, from Paris ; and as to a defini-
dye answer, none such was, or could be, expefted.
In the course of the diplomatic discussions with
France, since the Treaty of Amiens, it is *lost
superiluous to say, that many unforeseen dif-
ficulties have arisen, and nutty obstrtglioas have
started up in the way of its execution.—Many of
these have been either blinked, conceded, or sur-
mounted ; and the two countries are at length come
to an issue upon a point, which both parties appear
to have equally at heart, In this rocess of
diplo-
ma!ic pleading, Ministers hove aged with caution
and with vigour. O:t Taesday their definitive
resolve was sent off to i'rance, and the no-
tice of Warlike preparations has been so simed
Rs to reach the Fit SI CONSUL. before he could give
his deqnitive answer. That answer is not expe,Eled
until to-naormw or Wednesday. It will be given
with a full ',knowledge on the part of the FIRST
CeestiL, of the spirit, energy, and feeling of this
country. He cannot Ilead, after such a notice as
the Kt sio's Message, our vote of additional 10,000
seamen, and ad our warlike preparations, repeated
concessions had deluded him into the idea that he
had no reason to dread a refusal. He is now fully
apprized of his situatioa. His answer will be given
not in ignorance of our teenier, but with full notice
of our preparations; and terrible will be the re-
sponsibility of the party whOshall prove to be in the
wrong ! The suet id dispute is generally believed,
in the best-informed politica cirdes, to be the Island
of Malta, hut not in the narrow a-:. isolated point of
view in which s;;me of our cotemporaries alrc2 to see
it. They look at the island as a fat mer would; they
consult its soil, its number of acres, its probable '
produce. Nothing can, be mere preposterous.—
The fair and liberal way of putting the case is,
" Shall thcareaty of Amiens be executed or not ?"
By a stipulation of that treaty, Russia was to gua-
. rantee Malta; but there was no security that Russia
would guarantee Malta, nor any compulsory process
provided to oblige her to undertake that task. We
quarrelled with the Emperor Paul., on account of
Malta, and in our viewof Russian politics,we concluded
his successor would be glad of any opportunity
that ehould bring him in contact with the Mediter-
ranean : That he would be proud to interfere in the
business of Malta; and if he could not be its pos-
sessor, to be at least its guardian. The present Em-
peror has sltcwn, however, that he will not be marked
with the appearance, without the possession of this
golden fruit ; nor does he seem to inherit that won-
derful longing for it, which distinguished his father
and predecessor. Notwithstanding all that has been
stated to the contrary in the French Parrs, we are
assured, and we do believe, that the Emperor of
Russia has refesed, and still continues p refuse to
guarantee Malta. In this situation of afairs, France
calls upon England to .evacuate Malta ; and the
English government answers, that it is ready t 6 do
so, but upon the express condition of the previous
undertaking by Russia to guarantee that Island.—
Much therefore as the First Consul has enforced,
and rigid as he would sled to appear for the literal
execution of the treaty of Amiens—the whole
treaty of Amiens, and nothing but the treaty of
Amiens, we here find him endeavouring to violate
one essential part of its express cotalitions in one
of its Most,essagial parts. The changes which have
taken place upon the Continent since the signing of
the Treaty—the extension of the influenee of France
over Europe, but particularly over that' part of it
which might have an effeftupon the fate of Malta,
.require, on our part, cxtruordinary precaution, with
regard to that island. Without the guarantee
of Bahia, it is the univer-11 opinion, that Malta

• •

moat become a. French garrison. Still, how-
ever, with an anxious wish for accon.modation,
and with a sincere desire to preserve the peace,
Ministers would, we believe, be happy to adopt any
adequate security in/ the place of that which Russia
has refused to grant. In that spirit, and with that
view, we understand, Ministers have required some
explanation from the Fiasr Corm:L. upon the subjea
oldie independence of that island, and the substitution
of some other mpde of securing it ; to alt which, the
Fl IiST CO sset has declined, conGn:n2; to the
dry an 3 simple answer, that by th TTenty of Amiens
wr undertook to evacuate it, and that it does not
bind hint to holt, lot a new guarantee in tile event of
the refusal of I',ussia. NVe understand he h-Assaid,and
his late Manilt-to corrobora-es uur information, that
he would consider cur refusal to evacuate that island
a declaration of war arid we believe ths English
:vernme:lt has answered, that we shall not eva-
cuate it provisim for its independence

in of that es:p7e;sc,d in the Treaty of Amins.
To this the upon the sttbjes are at
length co.-.1c,, and tiFon chi: is to be given the final
an Aver, is now lookM for with SA rinch aux
iety.

Another 'important piece of intelligence has been
communicated to us, which, if true, must prove a
source of hoce and tpo.idence.---o is said, that
the RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR at Parii has declared,
in the iv.rne of his Sovereign, that he should consider
the landing of a French soldier in the Turkish do,
minions, a.: a commencement of hostilities ou the
part of France. The circumstances that led to this
declaration, we do not profess to know. That the
Fr RST CONSUL lately meditated the execution of some
plan respdting 'Ftirliey, is generAlly believed. SERAS.•
TIANIIS pro:fet of prote4ion to the ileys inEgypt, the
declaration in the txpose of she Republic, that the
Ovrom au PoaTE is wavering; these, and many
such particulars, would lead one to suspe& that he
has some new design, perhes some new constitution
for that quarter. We are far, however, from de-
vouring with a greedy • eve-3( tale that is told of
the ambition, the rapacity, and perfidy of the FIRST
Cuasot of Vra9ce. One anecdote will suffice to chew
how far ingenuity or misrepresentation are able to
suceed in gaining for the wonderful and the
extravagant, when Boirsrsourz is the subjeft. In
a company at Paris last summer, at which Mr.
Fox and the First Consul were present, the conver-
sation twined upon Polygamy and Monogamy.—
The First Consul,
.proud of stewing himself. a
casuist and mo Al p. ilo2apher, took an :relive
part in the discussion of the question, which of
the two states lei fittest for mankind. After the
argument was exhausted, the First Consul said
o Chen it appears, that Monogamy is fit test for the
West, and Poly,,Tamy for the East. The right way
then would be to div'ele the world into two families,
the Eastern and the Western families." Spch we
are credibly informed was the actual conversation,
and an innocer. eit was.,—We all, howevar, re-
member what a load of misrepresentation and ca-
lumny has been heaped upon it ; bcs it has been
tortured and twisted into an express intent of making
all the world one family, of which he meant to make
himself the head. How ti,e changes have been rung
out of doors upon this const rt.baion, and how it has been
echoed even within the walls of the Senates, arri alt
this upon the involuntary mistako of a person whohap-
pened to be present, aad to know just French enough
to comprelied 9-10ths of what pass-ed in conversation.
But do we therefore say, that BONAPARTE is not
ambitious ? that he does not wish to carry the name
and power of France to a height incompatible with
the freedom and prosperity of every other country
on earth, particularly England? We say and be-
:ieve no such thing, but we wish to see him fairly,.
to represent him fairly, and pot to wantonly irritate
a temper he.aile in its nature, incompatible with our
uwn ends and interests. It was certainly with a view
to do away those eagerly-fomented prejudices that
Mr. Fox drew so mild a pidureof the Fi nsv CONSUL,
when 40 represented him as merely " a conirigrcial
rival." His recent speeches upon his MAJESTY'S
Message show (for no new lights have broke upon
his mind) that he considers France a rival of En-
gland, as a powerful and inticpendvat

THE.ITRICAL INtELLIGLT,T7.

Mr. COOPER appeared, a second time, on Saturday
night, in the character of Hamlet. He gave us little
reason to recant the opinion we have already given
of his performance. In some parts, as we said iYI.-
fore, he left us little to desire, but many principal
features of the charaaer he sadly slurs. tVe look to
him in vain for that courteous affability which dis-
tinguishes Hamlet in the midst of his melancholy :
and his cautious simulation, his mask of madness,
his tender sensibility, his conscientious timidity, keep-
ing his purpose of revenge alternately qnickening
and blunting, give birth to a thousand delicate ;ran-
sitions of expression, to which Mr. Coupe it keeps us
equally strangers. A tone and deportment of stern
and alhiost unvariedgravity pervadehisperforrhance ;
and fiis conference with Opbelia has much more the
air of a serious fraternal leaure, than the mental
gambols of insanity. There may be nobod in the
madness of liamirt, but not quite so much,we shotild
think, as Mr. Coorxrt gave it. We again recom-
mend him eh:traders of a bolder complexion (Hos-
Tar or Bajazet, for instance) as conforming better
with his person and style of acing. Of hts Ham-
let, we can only say, that it is respectable : be has
much to attain before it will delight us. tie are
happy to notice Mr. Clorrres deference to public
. .
opinion . be has profited of it in improving two or-
three ohjeaionalde points in his aaing; and the
conclusion of his play-score particularly was given
on S.tinrday with considerable increase of effea.
We should n omit ob.;erving that the King has
at length found a respeaable representative in Mr.
Pow Lt.t. ; and Mr. Cii I: :Inv, Who is also a new Po-
lortius, has lust by it nothing of his merited reputa•
tion.
