it has made it the greatest rreserver and promoter to the hair
used constantly, not a hair will fall off or turn grey: it is such a
nourisher to the hair, that even if it has begun to turn grey, it will
restore it to its natural colour by rubbing it frequently Wei the

fel, and in curl. Will surely restore the hair on bald plies, if
there is the least sign of roots ; but if persons are bald,and the roots
are entirely gone, it is against nature that any article eats resew, it;
and if persons pretend to restore hair when the roots ws gags, by
any article whatever, it is a falsity. Persons who have begun to
get bald ought to be particular to use the Russia Oil daily, ot at
tie lam every other day, as there must be a complaint in the map,
which may go further, and carry off the hair entirely, if neglected
which has often been the ease. Even Medical Gentlemen of th..,
Medical Hall, who have analysed Prince's Russia Oil, hare pu:-
lizhed in the" Gazette of Health," No. 16, that the discovery le I.
great credit to the proprietor, end is superior to any other Oil fol.
the hair, and will do in cases of baldness agd weak hair, what ex.
possibly be done in strengthening and restoring it. The Metlic4l
Gentlemen have also analysed another Oil, which is daily puffed i
the Papers as used by Emperors. kings, Dukes, ie., and have
published in the " Gazette of Health," No. 12, that on exarninim,
the ingredients of this grand Oil, they find It contains only con.
moo Oil, coloured and perfumed; therefore, it cannot be compare t
to the Russia Oil as a nourisher to the hair. There arc petty per-
fumers, hair-dressers and others, who melt bullocks' fat. and pit:
it in pots and perfume it, and take in the public by prgtending u•

too harsh for the hair, and makes the hair turn grey and fall or.
The truth of this is well known to every one who knows the Empe-
ror Alexander, as he lost his hair at en early age; anti many per.
sons of distinction is the North also lost their hair at an early age,
through using Bears' Grease. In short, in Russia, and other party
of the North, where the Rears are. it is found from experience th:t.
Rears' Grease is too harsh for the hair; and whoever .recommentis
it in this country for the hair, must de it fee imposition, or mu-.
be ignorant of its injuring the hair ; but Prince's Celebrated Rem..
Oil is mixed with the meet nourishing oils in Europe, aml it
always like a, lly ; and it is proved by every one who has given
a fair trial to be the only article that actually preserves and pr. -
motes the hair.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1924.

The Courier, of late, has talked of nothing but of
armed preparation and war. One of our Admirals was
called by the seamen " Foul-weather Jack," from his
presence being always ominous of a storm ; and the Ex-
Government Gazette is completely a political augur of the
same description. Like the Trojan Cassandra, it is eter-
tally raving of threatening ills to conic. The worst of it
is, that its annunciations are as wholly unattended to ; no
one believes them,—they arc like the idle wind that passes
unregarded. The tale of the formidable preparations in
Brat, where, according to the Crooking-Gazette of war,
eight sail of the line, five large frigates and four smaller,
four brigs, and five sloops, were getting ready for sea, is,
one, we are persuaded, of mere romance. No prepara-
tions of any thing like that amount arc making in this
port. Demonstrations so decidedly warlike, could not
escape the vigilance of our Government, and would be
met at once by a demand of explanation, and a power-
ful fleet from our ports. Our line-of-battle ships
would at once be uncovered, and their topsails bent
to the wind, ready for action. Any Ministry would
deserve to be impeached that suffered a hostile squadron,
of the strength and numbers mentioned in the Courier,
to be armed in Brest, or any other port of France, with-
out instant preparation in this country to meet it. The
French Cabinet must know that such would be the imme-
diate result of any alarming demonstrations such as the
Courier heralds ; and that France now possesses no marine
that could cope with the naval power of this country. It is'
strange, that while the " foul weather" Ccuricr is brewing
a sudden storm of this description, the French ministerial
papers have not a ripple on their surface. The Journal des
Debots of Friday (M. de Villele's paper) gives the strongest
rosurances of the most pacific intentions on the part of
France—a policy this great power, under existing circum-
stances, would be insane not to pursue. "We read (this
6' journal says) in the American papers, that England is
" understood to have proposed to the United States to join
" her in repelling all the attempts which the continental
powers may think fit to undertake against the indepen-
" dence of the American Colonies. We are not (the
" Journal des Debate goes on to say) in the secrets of
" the Cabinets, and we know not how far this news
may be false or true, but we do know that in waging
" war there must be at least two belligerent parties.
" Now as we perceive the Continent perfectly tranquil, and
" can find nobody who thinks of warlike exploits, the
" United States may have the trifling pleasure, if they
" desire it, of parading their fleets in triumph over season
which they will meet with none but friends." This
article forms rather a strange contrast to that of the
hoarier and its Brest story—a pack of stuff, which this
Parr " may tell to the marines, for the sailors never will
believe it." France has now ambition sufficient to make
any attempt, if she dared, against the power and influence
ef this great country ; but she has no naval force, either in
ships or seamen, to risk the contest, and she will therefore
remain at peace: besides, her finances need recruiting; her
expenditure in the Spanish war was monstrous, and is still
very heavy fa her army of occupation, for impoverished!
Spain can supply no resources. Our own decided imp-cg-
s:4n is, that the prestnt state of peace in Western
Europe is not likely to le speedily disturbed, and
that if a storm threatens anywhere, it is in the east of
Europe. Lord Strangforers most persevering efforts have
tailed in adjusting the quarrel between Russia and the
Porte ; and it will need the most powerful influence of
great Britain and France combined to save the latter infa-
wood and feeble Power from the clutches of the Northern
Giant and his hordes, that now threaten on the frontiers,
and only want a signal to rush like famished wolves on the
Turkish provinces.

Leto re were received on Saturday from Madrid, dated

F.quadron of his navy immediately, under the orders of

Portuguese East Indian settlements. The Emperor was
so highly pleased with Captain Taylor's exertions in cap-

fleet, though under the protection of a line-of-battle
ship, two frigates, and a corvette, that be had conferred
