HEALTH AND LONGEVITY.

DR. ,JAMES'S ANALEPTIC AND ANTIBILIOUB
PILLS.

THE Celebrity of the Analeptic as a ge-
neral Preseriative of Health, is become universal, front
their Efficacy in those Complaints which continually dis-
turb the• Human Frame ; such as 'Colds, Itheumatisms,
Head•achs, Indigestions, and other Diseases of the Stomach
and Bowels ; which arise from the Vicissitudes of our Cli-
mate, or from Indulgence in .the Luxuries of Lite; and these
salutary Effects are produced by gebtly opening the Pores by
Night, and the Body by Day, without requiring any parth.
cular Regimen or Confinement. But though the Analeptic
Pills are also very serviceable in Bilious awl other deep-
seated Disorders, yet being designed as.a mild Purgative only,
and therefbre not always sufficiently active, the •A ntibiliotts
Pills have been recommended in aid, by an eminent Physician,
who has used these 111e,iicines combined for inany years with
the happiest" success in all complaints of the Liver? as well
as in other internal Diseases.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HAMBURGET.
PARIS, SEPT. 20,—When the riing of. Sweden
makes Manifestoes or preparatiohs for war against
France, Europe is quiet, nbt a town looks upon itself
as menred. The people may murmur at Stock.
holm ; hut they dread rather the expellees and the I
ridicule than the fatal consequences of a War•which-
affords no- field or battle. AVhen a more aweful
Power, a. graver Court, and which has acquired to
itself, at the expence of glory and good faith, the re- ,
nown of an extreme circumspeCtion ; when Prussia
arms and appears to defy France, one is aitdmshed;
one is apprehensive of the ,storm which she. draWs
Upon 'the North of Germany. Prussia arms.—What
are her grievances- ? What are her hopes ? .1 t is easier
to find the grievances which the French.:Govern-
mem has had against that Power, and the:wrongs
it has pardoned.
After the death of Mr. PlTT„the linistterS who had
•
been his colleagues read to the Parhaurnt of England
.the Papers and Treaties upon which were founded a'
great coalition, which three mOnths sufficed to destroy...
`tile King of Prussia figured in all these. Negoti-
ations. He spoke, or was made to speak in them, as,
a declared Enemy of France ; he made promises in
them which the Allied Courts considered as 'posi-
tive engagements. " Stop (cried, many Members
of Parliament who were provo-ked at hearing these
Papers readj=stop, it is great indiscretion." No,
there was no indiscretion in it ; they did not reveal
to the North of Germany, nor to Francenor, above
all, to the-Emperor of the French—a single fa& un-
known, or even obscure to them. Several French
Generals had hopes of finding a Prussian Army to
vanquish at Austerlitz. I have seen several of the
letters in w'aich they gave an 'account of the Vic-
tory„ and which concluded with. these; or the:like
words :—" The whole regret of the Aiiny is that
the Prussians were not in this affair."-=Of the twb
Emper6rs who were just vanquished, the one, by
the generosity of. the conquerors, took 'back with
him to his States the feeble wreck of an Army
which . had no longer either Chiefs or Artillery;
or, above ails any glory ; and the. other, by a gene-
rosity still More memorable, returned into a capital
which the Conqueror had studied' to preserve to
him submissive and even, aifeEtionate. What must
the Kiing of Prussia not
,have feared at that time ?
His Grand Uncle, FREDERIC 11. had not been pro-
voked so much as the Emperor NAPOLEON, when;
in loWerieg the power of Saxony, he said'-!.shall
Ind in the Elector's Palace the Treaty which binds
him against ine ; and in fa& be, did find-it there. '
NAPoLtot; did not condescend to go and examine
' the =hives of Berlin—yet, by undertaking an 'Ex-
peditien; then, and; even at this dayese easy, he
would have satisfied the deep. resentment of the
two Powers ss horn he had yAnquished, as much
as_the warlike wishes of his Army, and as that
sentiment which governs heroes, indignation against
perfidy.- The Emperor NAPOLEnN, saved the StateS
and even the honour of the
.King .of Prussia—he
was unwilling. to see in hint any perfidy—he corn-
plained.dnlY of a Mipistgr ; and Prussia did not ex-
piate the criminal and mercenary policy of 'BarOn
lIARDENBEIZG.
See what Prussia now is—she has acquired a Pro-
vince, the objet of her ambition;—she, has ceded
Some countries, which are very_ far from making an
'exact compensation for what she obtains. -The
Emperor of the' French has, however, not set too
high a price upon his alliance, and has had 'no oc-
casion to lay snares for his ambition. Ile/ grants
no preminin to the machiavelism .of Courts, in re-
forming the policy in which Europe has been for a
long time enmed, and the detestilale .principles of
which the. English Oovernment has endeavoured' to
preserve and twend—he keeps rewards in store for
frankness and fidelity. .To these titles the Court of
Prussia has, indeed, no great claims. Hence, pro-
bably, arise the grievances she has against France.—
She may. say to 'Russia, and even to Sweden—
/dg not think myself sufficiently paid for having
excited, or at least encouraged, you to a disastrous

• war by false promises. ,It belongs to you to revenge
me and snake me obtain, at the expense of the trait-
, 'tiuillity and the strength of your 'States, the full re
ward that is due tome." I hear this approximation
made in every conversation. But it is only the
French who can make it with gaiety. Here the
utmost apprehension is entertained. We trem-
ble for the North of Germany.. The only hope we
bave is in the known wisdom of some Sovereigons.—
. We often conclude by saying, that the evidence of
the dangers which Prussia •runs will strike a Mo-
narch who has hitherto sheen great love for his
People. • I - will explain to via in another Letter
how people reason bere• on the chances of this war.

SEPT. 22.—The, Publicists. of the lgth
instant inserted an . article which contains several
hazardous assertions.—The Author of this article
asserts, that PruSsia was concerned in the last Coa-
lition., and he quotes oti this head the Papers which
Were published by the English Ministry. We have
also read these State Papers, bqt have not seen a
word in them m'hich concerns Prussia. To,pr,:tend
to argue from this silence of thetabinet of Lin-
• don, that Prussia was concerned in the third Coa-
lition, is to hazard to reason in a manner that will
certainly persuade nobody. The English had, at
that time, no motive to spare Prussia, neither have
• they had any since.
• We see, its well as the Publiciste, that several mi-
litary movements ate now going. on •at Paris. We
-have remarked, like himself, that for this month past
many have been carried on at Berlin ;. but we also
-know that the Emperor never. draws his sword
without' having made the, nation acquainted with
his motives, and that no doubt he will not, deviate
from this custom, which he has constantly adopted,
and which is so conformable to his dignity, and the
rights of the French People.. Now nothing has
' taught us that he has manifested this intention. No
one; ipcieed, is: ignorant that priTarations are order-
, ed, and it is well known that the Emperor is not in
the humour to spend two or three millions without
reason.
On the other hand we behold M. KNOBELSDORFF
arrive at Paris, where he has been well received;
we also know that at the time these armaments
were going forward at Berlin, Marshal MOLLEN-
DO:tFF, and several of the King of Prussia's Ministers,
toasted the .Emperols health at a dinner given by
• M. LAFORET.

, Lord MOrtrETII sets out this afternoon. for Berlin.
A Frigate is in waiting at Yarmouth to convey him
to the Continent. Wei have no doubt that the, final
adjustment of the, differences between this Country
and Prussia will speedily be effe&ed. The condn& of
Ministers upon this occasion has
,been diaated by
true wisdom and sound policy, and even their
opponents admit that nothing could be more
wise or judicious„ The moment Prussia evinced,
a desire to recede - from those pretensions which
had given just cause 'of offence to this Coun-
try, she was Met by our Government in the true spi-
rit of cordiality, and 'every measure was adapted that
could give effe& to the reconciliation. We, have no
doubt also that our Government will not be back-
ward in, rendering ev, cry possible, assistance to -Prus-
sia in the approaching contest between that Power
and France, in the issue of which this Country is
deeply interested.
It Certainly is possible that the result of the Nego-
tiation between. Prussia and France may yet prevent
the sword from being drawn ; but of this we see
but little chance. In the contemplation, of an altinost
inevitable War between those Powers, there could
certainly be no wiser policy than to effe& a reconci-
liation bet Ween this Country and Prussia, in order
that a strong and united effort may be made to pull
down that Colossal Power which threatens to • be-
stride the whole 9f Europe.

THE departure of the French Ruler rind hig Mi-
nister from Paris, while Negotiations are pending
between France and this Country, has naturally ek-
cited much surprise, and has been considered as an
insult to the British Government, unles's some ex-
planaton had been previously given of a satisfactory
nature to the Earl of LAUDERDALE. We repose,
however, too confidently upon Administratiou to
doubt that they will a 0 upon the occasion with.dig-
, nity and spirit, as well as caution and prudence,•and
that they will give full iustruaions to Lord LAUDER •

WE e?ctraft, the following from a Charleston Pa-
per of the 234 of August A Tornado., little in-
ferior to-that of September, t $O4, commenced yes-
terday morning about two o'clock, and continued
unabated the whole of yesterday ; it has done less
injury, as yet, than the September gale, owing, it is
supposed, to the wind being northerly, and the Ship,-
ping and Wharfs being sheltered from its effefts by
the houses in the City. We have nn heard of an y
N•
damage sustained in the '
town, except a few feneeS
being blown down, and several trees: torn up by the
roots.:—We regret we cannot give an equally fa-
vourable accountiof the Harbour—the Ship Halcyon,
Capt. MANLY ; and• the. Ship ikipe, Capt. HUNT,
are on shore at James's Island, and it is feared both
will be bilged.; the Ship AsLiue, at quarantine, is on
*shore at Port Reef, and likely to meet the same fate..
Many other Vessels are critically situated, and will
inevitably be injured should the wind- shift unfa-
vourably,".

No doubt the gale extended to the West Indies,
and is the same which dispersed. the homeward-
-
bound Jamaica- Fleet, and Sir RICHARD STRAcHAN'S
Squadron," as it is the same day the Ships-(arrived)
parted from the Fleet.

THE ConwEiicut, M`LEAN*4 from Charlestown,
arriyed at Liverpool, spoke on the isth inst. His
Majesty's .Ship Man:ague (one of Sir R. STaAcgAN's
Squadron), from the West Indies to England, tin-
der a jury-mast, in lat. 41. 11. N. long. W.
whom she supplied with fowls, ruin, &c.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterd.ay At Vis,
count• Howtc,x's Office, which was attended by all
the Ministers in town

No Messenger went off yesterday for Paris, as re-
ported, but one has been in readiness ever since
Saturday.

Colonel CRAWFURD, with the rank of 8ri,..,0-adie'i

It is said that Government have appointed Gene-
ral BERESFORD as Commander in Chief at Buenos
Ayres, with the same salary as possessed by the
Spanish Governor, viz. 10,0001. per annum,
The letter Which BONAPARTE addressed to the
Prince Primate exhibitan affeded spirit of modera7
tion, which is totally inconsistent wifh the arrogance
of his temper, and the all-grasping nature of his
chara&er. This afre&ation of a conciliating tem-
perance in his views; either shows that he is appre-
hensive of a4eversd of fortune, resulting from, the
aroused vetigeance of Prussia, combined with other
States, or that ,he has some deep insidious design,
which he endeavours to conceal under fair pretences.
Else would such a proud, haughty, and ambitious
Despot declare that he merely intended, in:-Ac-
cepting. the office of I;'roW6tor of the edhfe7
deration of the Rhine, to guard the Members
from the inroads of each other, and the at-
tacks of a Foreign Enemy, and that the Princes
of that Confederation are Sovereigns without any
Sovereign over them ? Such declarations from such
a man are not to be regarded as, " the idle wind,"
any
,more than they are'to be relied on for their sin-
cerity. BONAPARTE has some obje& in all he does
9r says; and though' he declares the Princes are all
independent Sovereigns, he will. anxiously attempt
to render them all nothing but his submissive Vas-
sals, and instruments fOr the attainment of still
greater designs upon the liberties of all other States.
Baron JACOBI is returning to London. He was

referring to Lor'd PERCY, have said, ‘‘ It is with
great concern I find that any. part of the Westrnin-
,ster FieEtors have resolved that he is not a fit person
to represent this great City in Parliament i". for
considering the ignorance, turbulence, and mis-
chievous.disposition manifested by the Agitators of
that Meeting, and the tatterdemalions who ap-
plauded them, Mr: WHITBREAD would have bedn
highly gratified in finding that Lord FllscY had
only such adversaries.
