A CHALLENGE.

MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. challenge the whole
World to prove a single instance where their Medicine
and Method of Cure have failed of the desired elfed. The
practice of many years in this particular branch of their pro.
Cession has neat given rise to one unsuccessful case. They cell-
finite to dired their stndies to the treatment and cure of cer-
tain Complaints, and that derangement of the systNn.v.,hlch
is the consequenceof a destructive habit. Itis a mel.inctialy
truth, that the indulgence in this solitary vice brings on those
• Deficiencies and Debilities which frequently prevent ant
embitter the' Matrimonial State and imposes by anticipa-
Aion upon its unhappy victims all the infirmities of old age.
'To such persons it must be a consoling reflection to know
that they may now, by a new and intaliible mode of treat;
ment, be restored to health, otrength. and manly vigour.—
Messrs. Currie and Co. being regular Surgeons of the Royal
College,, the idea of empircisin cannot possibly be attached
to their practice, for nothing but a thorough conviction, con.
, firmed by many years experience, of the injudicious mode of
treatment adopted by the general Praditioner iu the cure of
Venthal Complaints. and that class of Debility which
tably results from the indiscretions ,o 1 youth, could
them to deviate front the usual system, and by pertorming ti.e
most surprising cures, convince the worts of the decided eta.
periarity of their mode of trentmen:.
Messrs. Currie and Co. may he consulted by patients of
either sex, with the greatest delicacy, secrecy, and honour,
at their House, No. Hatton Garden. Letters from the
Country (post-paid), inolosing. a Bank Note, stating the
particulars of the case, will have the necessary diahi‘x
Medicines Mat to any part of the Kinidom.

Cloud only a word to' deprive thern of their. jade-
pendenc4. The,appellition, -" the. Great.EMpire,"
• was invented, and that Empire was immediately On -
ly surrounded with vassals.
Thus there was no trade of the Treaty :leti; yet
PrUssiaproceededto shut her Ports against England,
and still considered
,herself as having .obligations to
fblfil.

The Emperor at • length informed his Majesty,
that it was his pleasure to dissOlve the German Em-
pire, and form a Confederation of the Rhine; and
recommended to the King: to establish a 'similar
Confederation in the North of Germany. This was
according to his customary policy—,a policy which
had long been crowned with-success-'-at the rif&=
melt of the birth of any new project, to throw. out
a.lure,to those Courts which might occasion difa-
tultieS in the execution of such projeas. The King
adopted the Idea of such a Confederation, not that'
the advice he received, macke the least inapression on
him; bit because, in faa, it-was rendered necessary
b) circumstances ;' and because, after the seccssii,on
of the Princes who had acceded to the Confedm-
lion of the Rhine, a close union between those of the
North bepme more than ever the condition of their
safety. ' The King took measures to establish this
L-azue,-;but, on, other principles froin those of the
model priqented-to him. He made it his pride to

colle6 the.last of, the Germans under his hannerS.,
hilt the rights of. each he left unimpaired; and hio
riour alone. was the, housl of the League. .•

-Bat could France-advise the King to any measure
which should be produaive of advantage to Prus-
? 'We shall. sdoa see what is. to ?be:,expoeted
'when France makes.profeSsions of favonr.
In the first place ;case had. been taken to introduce
inn the fundamental. Statute of the Confederation
of tlic Rhine, an .rticle
.which contained the germ
of all fivc.re. innovations. It provided that other
Princes should be received into the Confederation,
Should they desire it. In this manner all. 'relations
in Gerinny were left' indeterminate, .and, ,as.. the
means were-• Still'reserved to detach,. and annex .to
this League the weaker States, either, by Ptionliies- or
threats, it was but too probable that:in it,141 c, this
Confederation would be. extended into the heart of
the Prussian Monarchy.
And that this might no longer remain doubtful,
but be manifest to every one, the first attempt was
immediately made. Fortunately it was madeon aPrince
who knows not fear, and who considers independ-
ence as the highest ctbjea of his ambition. The
French Minister at CaSsel invited the Elector, to
throw himself into the arms of his mastei. Prussia,
it was .alledged, did. nothing for her Allies. It is
true, NAPOLEON knows how to manage his better;
and every one sees that Spain and Holland, and
the Kings of Wirtemhurgh and Bav'aria, have:-to
thank their alliance with him for Peace,.lndepend-
ence and Honour. Prussia did nothing for her Allies;
NAroLnoN, on the contrary, would reFard the sc-.
cession- of the Eledtor by an enlargement of his ter-

ritory. , •
And this treachery W,IS exercised towardian Ally;
and at the very moment when •the., King' was• ad-
vised tc ,form an alliance; Of which Hesse was to he
firtit bulWark, endeavours were made to detach
fr him a Prince ,whom family crinnexicns,,j alli-
ances, and: elations of -every, kind, runited in th.e •
Clbscsi manner.to his Majesty's Person. • !
But even thesehostile steps were not sn dent:
Does any -cne wish to know what-was the Iprs,,hy
which it was hoped to gain the EleEtor of FIE.SSE,
:Ind what was 'the augmentation. of. territory with
the expeEtatidn of which he was flattered ? It was

This was promised to the' EleCte,:jand'iti

to. accept i , and had not Prussia taken. up 'arms.
His Majesty saw theisystem of usurpation adVance
every day ; he saw a,circle' cotstinually betoing
narrower, drawn around him, and even the right of

Moving within it boginning* to be 'disputed wirii him,
for a swcepin2.; resOluton forbade a passage to any
foreign Troops, arrned .or, 'hot, ;through the States
;of the Confederation. This was,r63'Out off, 'con trary

But even 'after this—his Majesty cannot reflea.on
without admiration—the Kino considered whe-
ther a Combination might not be found, which should
render this •sta,.e, of. things compatible with the
Maintenance of Peace.

. The Enlii?ror NAPOLEON'appeared to be solicitoUs
to.recnove this donbt. 175:v0 'Negotiations were then
Fartrying on at' Paris, one wi:h Russia,
,the other W. 114
the English. Ministry. In .both, these Negotiations
the intentions. .of France against Prussia' were evi-
dently:manifesied.

By the Treaty which the' Emperor of Russia
had refused .to ratify, France offered, in conjunc-
tion with -Russia, to prevent Prdssia • from de-
priving the King of Sweden of ,his German Ter-.
ritorieS -; yef, fOr many 'months, the Cabinet. of.
St. Cloud had continually pressed the King of Pries-•
sia tOseizethoSe States, with the threefold view;‘first,
to rev:rage himself on the King of Sweden ; second-•
ly, to embroil Prussia with. all other Powers ; and,
thirdly/ to purchase her*silenc-e' with respe& to the
subversion of Southern' .Germany. But the King-
. had long been ,aware that such were, the views of
France, and his unfortunate dispute with Sweden
Was painful to him. He had therefore been -careful
to provide against every suspicion of self-interested
motives,. and he confided . his explanatiOns. to the.
Emperor ALEXANDER... The. scene was now again
changed; and. NArOLEON, who had so long been' the
enemy of the 'King of Sweden, was suddenly trans-
formed into his prote&or. ,

It is not superfluous to remark; that in this insidie
ous Treaty the French Emperor, in order to satisfy
the honourable interest,which the Court of St. Peters-
burgh took in the maintenance of the rights of the
King of Napres, promised the latter indoinnitica-
tion, engaging to prevail on the King of Spain to
cede to him the BalaKic Islands; •

He will as in the same manner with respect to
the augmentation of territorfhe pretends to bestow
on his Allies,'

These were all preludes to the steps he took as;•ainst
We now approach the moment which de-
termined his Majesty. •

Prussia.

Prussia had hitherto derived nothing from her
Treaties with. France but humiliation and loss. One
single advantage remained: The fate of Hanover
was in her power, and in.her power it must remain,
unless the last pledge of the security of the North
.were annihilated. NAPOLEON had solemnly gliaran.!
teed this state of things; yet he negotiated with Eng-
land on the basis,of the restoration of the Electorate.
The King-is in possession of the proof.

War"was now faadeclared ; declared by every
measure taken
"by Vrance. Every month produced a
new notification of the return of his -Army,' but, on
one 'frivolous pretext or another, it was still conti-
nued in Germany ; and for what purpose ?--Gra-
cious Heaven ! :to eradicate the last truce of ;Soi.
vereignty among the Germans ;-to treat King's
as Govet nors appointed by himself;--to drag be-
fore Military Tribunals citizens only responsible to
their own Governm'e.nts ;.--to declare others mit-
laws, who bad lived peaceably in foreign States,
under foreign . Sovereigns, .and even the ca-
pital of a German Emperor, because they had
published writings in which the French Govern-
ment, or at least its despotism, was attacked ; and
this at the time when that same Government daily
permitted hired libellers to attack, under its protec,..
tion,.the honour of all crowned heads, 'and the most
sacred. feelingS of nations, These armies were in no
manner diminished-,-',; but, continnally reinforced and
augmented, advanced nearer to the frontiers of Prus
ski or her. Allies, till they at length tea a position,
which could only meanc4.-, Prussia, and, were assem7
bled in farce in Westphalia—Which certainly was
not the road to the mouths of the Catare

It was no longer doubtful that NAPOLEON had
determined to overwhelm Prussia with war, or to
render her incapable of war, Since he wad leading
her from humiliation to humiliation, till she should
be reduced to such a. state of political degrada-
tion and feebleness, that, deprived of every* de-,
fence, she could, have no•other will bUt that of her
formidable= neighbour. The King delayed no longer;
he. assembled his Army. General KNOBLESDORF
was sent to Paris with the final. declaration' Of
his,. Majesty. Only :one • measure remained
could give security to the. King; which was the rQiurn
of the French Troops over the Rhine. The time tor
discussion' was past, though 'the Cabinet of St. Cloud
appt)ared still anxious tOprotraa it. General KNo BE. Ls-
DORF'had orders to insiston this demand ; it' Was not.
the whole of the king's just demands ; but it was ric•
cessary that it should be the first, since it Was the con-.

caul,, of his future existence. The acceptance or
fusal of it, must shew the real sentiments of the
French Emperor.. Unmeaning profession§ and argp-,.
merits (the real' value of which W(t known 14 long
experience) were the only answer the,King received.:
Far frorla the French Arm) being recalled, it was
announced that it would be reinforced but with an
haughtiness still-more 'remarkable than this refusal;
an offer was Made, 'that the troopA which bad ad-'
vanced into Westphalia should return home if Prus•
pia Would desist from her preparations.

This•,was not all—it was insolently notified to the
•
Ministers-That the:Cities Of Hamburgh, Bre-
. Men, and,Lubeck, would not be stlffered to join in the
Northern Confederation, but that France'WOuldtake
them under her, prbte6tion, in. the same Manner as,
• in the other Confederation, she had given away cities
' and promulgated laws, without permitting any other
Power to make. the least pretenSion. The King
was required to suffer a foreign interest to be intro-
duced into the heart Of his monarchy. Another
contrast of condut incensed the King to the utmost..
He received from the Emperor .a letter, full of ,
those assurances of esteem which • certainly, when
trey do not accorckWith fafls, are to be considered Tis
nothing, but which the dignity of Sovereigns ren-
.ders a duty to themselves even when on the eve of
war ; yet a few days afterwards, at a moment ,when
the sword was not yet drawn, when the Minister of
the Emperor endeavoured to mislead those of the
*King by,assdrances on assurances of the friendly in-
tentions of France, the Paliciste of the Ifith of
September appeared' with a diatribe against the King
'and the PruSsian 'State,' in a style worthy of the-
most disgraceful,periods of the revolution, insulting.
to the nation,: and..what,- in other times than ours,
would hai'e been considered as amounting to n :decla-
ration of war. The King can treat slanders that are
merely abusive with 'Contempt; but when these slan-
' I derscontribute to *lain the real state of-things, it
would be unwise to treat them with. contempt. The
last hope had now disappeared,troops marched from the
interior of France towards the Rhine. The intent to
attack Prussia was clear and certain: The King or-
.
dered a Note to be transmitted by General OfELS
DORF, containing the conditions Qll which he was,
ready to cetne to an accommodation. These coti-
f ditions were,

nab.

Ist, That the French Troops will ittmediately
evacuate Germany. •
2d, That France should oppose'no Obstacle. to the
foundation of the Northern Confederacy ; and that
the Confederacy miilit'enbrace all the larger and
smaller States not included in the fundamental Aft
of the Confederation of the Rhine.

,3d. That NeaOtiations should immediately be com-
menced for the adjustment of ,A ditTerences still. in
dispute, a preliminary Article of which sh4.,uld be
:the restoration of the three AbbeyS, and the se-
paration of the Town of . Wesel from the
,French
Empire.
These conditions speak for themselves: they she
how moderate the King, even at this moment, has'
been in his demands,and how much the maintenance
of Peace, if France wishes Peate,.. depends upon
FranCe herself. The term peremptorily fixed by the
H King for the decision of Peace or. War has elapsed..
His Majesty has notreceived the answer of the
Ca-
binet of Saint acrud;Or rather, the preparations he
sees around him daily, give' him that answer. -The
King can henceforth confide the
,honour and safety
of his Crown only to arms. He has recourse to them
with pain, since a glory purchased by 'the tears
of his people, was never his wish; ibtit he has recourse
to them with the tranquillity of confidence, since his
. cause is just.—The King has carried "his forbearance
to the utmost. limit, and till honour forbade hits to
carry it farther.—The King has overlooked eye!y
thing only perSonally injurious to himself; he has.dii-
regarded the deciSions of ignorance, and the attacks of
calumny, always hoping that he should be able to
; conduct his people; without injury,. to that period,_
which must sonner. -or later arrive, when, unjust
greatness shall fiA its, bounds, and ambition, which
obstinzitely ref'ises to acknowledge any limits, shall
at length n'erleap itself !
His Majesty takes up arms, not to gratifTa long-
nourished resentment, not to increase his power, not
to disturb a nation which knows how to esteem itself
in its natural' and lawful limits, but to proteCt his
Monarchy from the fate which 'is prepared for it, to
maintain the People of FREDERICK in their indepen-
deuce and glory, to deliver unfortunate Germany from.
-the Yoke under which it lies, and to obtain an honour-
able. and secure Peace. ..The day on which he shall

cfft.qi.this will afford the King his noblest triumph.
events of the war, which is now beginning,
are in the disposal of.Supr..qcie Wisdom. .The King
leaves to others premature boastings, as he has long

left to them the miserable enjoyment Of their base
inye'aiyes-and unanswered calumnies.' But he leads
to honourable combat an Army worthy of its former

glory. He reigns over 'a people of whom he may
be, proud ; azd while he is ready to shed his
blood for them, he knOWs what he may expea from
their energy and their affeetion. Princes, the hQ•

. . ,
f itouri) the-Cerman name, confiding in his gratimd,
and integrity, ina Wh-C.i; while they%tight.bylis side,

one of the first thrones in the world, is pene-
rated with the justice of his cause ; the voice of
Nations every where invokes a blessing on his arms,

TIWRSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1806.

WE, am happy to have it in our power, at length
to lay before our lialt,rs a satisfajaory, account of

Admiral ViLLEAUMEeS Squadrotr, which has for so

long a time eluded the vigilance of our Comnianders.

The dreadful gale of wind by which Sir RICHARD

,
STRACHAN'S Squadron sustained so much damage

'was still, more destralive to that of Admiral Vu.-

LEAVAEZ.

There is every reason to believe that

'one ofhis Line-of-bat tie Ships went doivit in the
s4;1111. he remainder, of the Squadron was d -
-peried: - Admiral VILLEiAUMEZ,. iii his own Ship,

which was disrnasted arid, nearly a wreck; had,
the good fortune to get into the limn-

The other French Ships endeavoured, it

to reach the Chesapeak one of them;-

hosA;el.,er, fell in with the Bellow and the Belle-

isle, two of Sir RICHARD STRACHAN'S Squa-

deal.- The French Ship sustained a running fight

some time, but was at last driven on shors

near the Chesapeak.l

The /11,e/ampus Frigate, which wo in coni-

pany with the Bellona and Belleiyie, was sent

in destroy • the French Ship, which was

L'lmpetueux, of 74 &uns, This was completc.,:y

effeaed, and the crew made prisoners.

While the 16lelampus was engaged in this service:.
two more French Ships of` the Line hove in sight,
and the Bellona. and Belleisle immediately crowded

all sail in pursuit of, them, and were in chace
of them,. when Capt. POYNTZ, of the Afelamput

tranarnitte4 this intelligence.

46 Belleisle, and. Alelampus were crulz-
inibff.the.Chesapeak in-search of Sir H. STRAC HAN
when they fell in with the French Ships.

The Severn, Capt. ETHERIDGE, and the Dicrnl,

On.that day the' Elephant Man of War, and Pickle
Schooner, ,sailed to the assistance of General IVl,l'

No intelligence reached Town this morning from
the Continent. But the reports of ACtions betwe'en
the French and Prussians succeed .each other with
a rapidity.that is'really astonishiog. Yesterday af-
terncioiva person of the name of OVEREND, who
is the Commander of a Ship which is just arrived
from Rotterdam, went upon 'Change, -and declared,
that before he sailed- a report was very generally
circulated of a Battle having been fought between
the Prussians and French, in which the latter were
defeated, the loss of 30,000 rnen.—Ano-

thy- atiytal Captain arrived on Monday Litt
iti ;iie„Tyne; from the Elbe ; he asserted pool-
kivily-othat he .had seen, in the Gauckstadt Pa-
per'sof the:ith instant, an account of a Battle
havn* beeto'ought .on the sth, between the Prus-
sian Army, commanded 'hi the Duke of BRUNS..
*net. and the Rend!, commanded by General

BPANApOII'4, ill which the latter were *Mat
with the loss of 506aien killed and i. 4,000 taken
prisorfers. Though it is our deity to notice these
reports, we are at the same time bound} to WA, th 4
they are uot entitled to any credit.

WE this day present our Readers with the Can*.
elusion of the KING of PaUSSIA's Manifetto, N:Vhich
gives such an account of the craft, injustice, inao-
knee; and perfidy of the French Ruler, as could
hot be credited if alledged against any other person,
perhaps„in the whole world; but which is in all
points-too strongly supported by fads, and the un-
fortunate :state to 'Which he has brought the Conti-
bent, to admit of the least .doubt. The only won
'tier is, -,
that the-KING of PRUSSIA, who has so accu-
rately,observed, and so faithfully recorded the enor-
imous and multiplied acts of French aggression, could
have borne. t hem so long and with such a 'submissive
forbearance. It is, however, plain that the KING of
Vat] s siA does not deserve all the imputations ofa mean
'and interested desire of extending his own territories
which have been so often heaped upon him, bUt that
on anxiety to keep himself secure" from the fury of
the Gallic storm has induced him to yield to tern
ioriii g etpedients, and to submit to arrangements
itroposedbfir Which, in another-state
iof things, he would probably have revolted. •This
system arty increased the pride, and. gave en-,
courarnetit to the ambition of the Power that
in re3lit, aimed at his destru&loh. It can hard-
ly be cloui4eki-.that the KING of PRUSSIA is
encouraged by the secret intentions of Austria.-
,as well as the stin 6-4eration of iitit.ia,,for
it mat be obvious to the fornier Power, that if
Prussia is overwhilt/gsk the ruin of Maria -must`
soon follow. But a beitir
,prosptiO 'stems to be-
rising ; the Sovereips of it Cettairies, whether
under. the griping influence of Viaifee' not, must
see *that no confidence can be piated.in such a cha-
raeter as BOVAPARTE, and that if could slimed
in the' overthrow of PruSsia, they moist sink into
the most obsequious submission ; and ihat, even
that could not secure them whenever he 4.ranfed to
raise any of his Relation 'or his Minions to afbront.

' has been erroneously stated in several Pape*,
that Peers, as well as Members or the House of
'Commons, are deprived of the privilege of franking
or receiving letters free during the Dissolution of
Parliament': ' The fact is, that Peers' letters are
only charged with postage from the day of the
Dissolution until forty days previous to the as-
sembling (he New Parliament, when their Franking
recommences ; and such MeMbers as are returned to
the New Parlianient then begin to send and,receive
Letters free of Postage:

At the Quarter Assembly of this city, yesterday,
Mr. GIFFARD, after an appropriate speech, moved,
" That the freedom of this 'ancient and loyal City
be presented to Lieutenant-General Sir DA-vin -
BAIRD ; Brigadier-General WN. C. BERESFORD';'
Major-General Sir JOHN STUART '; Rear-.A.dmiral
Sir HOME POPHAM ; and Commodore Sir S'ArxltJEL'
Hoon, each in a box OfSHILLELA OAK, tale etrklem
of their own hearts, STRONG AND INCORRUPTIBLE,
pith suitable inscriptions."
The AsSembly received the motion with plaudit%
and unanimously concurred.
Mr. GIFFARD then-adverted to the approaching
dissolution of Parliament; and, after expressing his
decided approbation of the contlud of Mr. SHAW,-
one of the present Representatives of the.-City of.
Dublin, submitted a motion, the ette& of which
was, to pledge the Assembly to support that Gen-
tleman
at the next Eleilion.
- After some debate a ballot was called for, when
'there appeared, Ayes 48—Noes 19—Majority "29:
It was then carried. - - -

Mr. Hui-I.°N then proposed a similar motion in
favour of Mr. JOHN LATOUCHE.

was opposed .by Mr. GIFFARD, on the
ground that Mr. LATOUCHE had disobeyed the
positive instructions of the Assembly when a vital
question was at issue ' . and that when the City of
Dublin had presented a Petition to Parliament,
praying it to maintain . the King and Constitu-
tion, Mr. LATOUCHE had declined supporting their
Petition.

Another conversation ensued, whidi also ended in
a ballot--For Mr. LAtov CHB 36---against him 34
—majority 2. The motion was carried.
Mr. SHAW then returned thanks in the hand,
sorriest manner. He, had ever considered in,
terests of his native City, and hiS Fellow Citizens, as
his own ; and while they continued to repose their
confidence, in him he would, by every exertion in
his • power, endeaVour to render himself deserving
their favour.
This was received with acclamation. '

After some further business the Assembly ad.
journed.

The Earl' of. LAUDERDALE, during his late resi-
deuce in France, was extremely desirous of procur-,
ing permission from th 6 French Ruler tFr the return
of the English; who,scontrary to every usage among,
civilized States,were so unjustly and catchy detained
at Verdun., The Noble Lord intimated his wishes.,
to one Of BONAPARTE'S Ministers, but, apprehen-
sive that if he appliedat first for the eidargement of the
whole of his Countrymen, he might be exposed to
a Mortifying refusal,. he only solicited the freedom
of three or four. indiyrdilalS farwhOrti he declart.d.
he was particularly line' tested, aLthe same time en-
deavouring to discover from the Minister Whether it
was likely that the same indulgence might be ex,
tended to the rest. The Minister, whose • name it
would be imprudent and' ungenerous to mention,,
candidly assured the Noble Lord that lie dared not
communicate his Lordship's request, even for a
single individual, to the Emperor, lest he should
draw upon. himself. the influence of a temper sus-
ceptible of the most violent irritations, and which
immediately gives way to the most, outrageous ex-
cesses.. Such is the man who rules over the =for=
tunate people of 'France, with a much more dread-
ful severity than ever they experienced from the
worst Of their: lawful Monarchs, or indeed, than
the Tyrant of any barbarous Stine yet known to,the
world.

Watchman was going his round, he heard the cries
of a new-born infant near the opening made far the
London-doCks, at the upper end of Old Grayel-lane,.

He took it to the watch-house, and fromthence it
was sent to the workhouse.
A Harbour Sessions was held at Dover on- Mon-
day, at which the Lord Warden attended. It is said,
many alterations are to take place ; one of which is,
that of piloting Vessels for the Harbour, which has
hitherto been done in a.pernicions Way, and fre-c
quently much difference has arisen between The
Captains and Pilots, to do away which, it is said,
I a certain number. of qualified persons are to be
pointed,_ and a proportionable price affixed; and.
L that the same is to extend to Rattispte.
