TT 'has been too frequently the subjea ofjust and
IT
general reprobation, that-men destitute of the ele,ne:as of
the medical art have offred themselves as candidates for
public patronage in the profession of physic. For the puipqse
ofdoing justice to the result of our studies and experience, anal
to prevent us from,being classed among those empirics whose
imprudent pretensions,have, unfortunately tnr society, been
too favourably received, we beg leave to submit to the liberal
and enlightened a faithful statement of our pursuits and ac-
quirements. After having received a regular medical eiluca-
tion as the pupils of Messrs. Grinded and Blizard,' whose
lectures and practice we carefully attended, as professors aid
surgeons of the London Hospital ' • we entereit'ourselves as
students in that justly, celebrated schoul for medical acquire=
meat, the Royal College of Ediaburgh, and were instructed
in the different branches of anatomy, surgery, the theory and
pradice of physic, cheinistry,"midwitery, botany, &c,
by those eminent professors, Drs. Monro, Gregory, black,
Hamilton,-Duncan and Rutherford. We trust we shall not
be deemed presumptuous in saying that our proficiency and
acquirements are not inconsiderable. Having tor a long series
of years made Venereal Complaiats, and tlie various diseases
of Debility, the particular object of our studies and praelicr-,
it will, we hope, be allowed that we have acquired superior
know ledge of their treatment and cure. In slight and recent
cases of infection a perfed re-establishment is completed in
the short period of two days ; and in those of the utmost-in-
veteracy, where other practitioners have failed of success, a
proper perseverance in our plan of treatment ensures to the
patient a sate and radical cure.
Arnidst.the melancholy variety of disorders which are the
effects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
youth of both sexes, there are none more alarming or more
distressing than those deficiencies and debilities which fre-
quently:prevent or embitter the matrimonial state. To such
persons it must he a consolation to know that they may ni,w,
by a new and infallible mode of treatment, be restored to that
greatest of all human blessings, a strong, marily, and vigor-
ous constitution. In all cases of debility, from what,vrr
cause arising, as wellas in every species of venereal infection,
we may be consulted by patients of either sex with tbe great-.
est secrecy and honour. Hours of consultation at home from

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1808.

This morning two Gottenburgit Mails arrived.—
Tlie only news of impurtancd they contain is, that
th.-! Armistice betwee❑ the Swedes and Rassians has
been broken by the latter, and that a very severe en-
gaement took place, in which the Swedes were
defeated.

It dots not appear from this account whether the
Armistice was treacherously broken, or whether due
notice was given; nor are any particulars of the
action mentioned.

WE received this morning Moniteurs to the Ist
inst. but they are uncommonly barren of intelli-
gence, and preserve a profound silence with respe&
to the afThirs of Spain.

The Phrcuir Transport, froM Quiberon Bay, ar-
lived at Falmouth on Wednesday : she parted from
the remainder of the Fleet two days since to the
westward of Scilly. They consisted of thirty-five
Sail, and are part of those which arrived on Sun-
day last, being the third division of Cartel Trans-
ports, having on board 7000 French Cavalry and
Infantry from Lisbon, under charge of Lieutenant
R. WILBRAHAM. There are seven of the Trans-
ports unaccounted for, which it is supposed are driven
to the westward. Lieut. W. reports, that on the
arrival of the French Troops in Quiberon Bay, a great
number of them, understanding that they were im-
mediately to be embodied to march against the
Spaniards, hid themselves in different parts of the
Transports, in the hope that they would be con-
veyed to England. The French Officers spoke very
disrespectfully of BUONAPARTE, and stated that the
marching against Spain would render him extreme-
ly unpopular in France. Lieut. W. further statesi
. the plunder carried off by the French Troops
was very considerable : every soldier had a quantity
of Portuguese coin in gold.

Yesterday some Spanish tapers to the 28th inst.
reached ic;wn, and we are happy to hod from them
that the efforts of the Patriots in Catalonia have been
attended with a considerable degree of success, and
that the French are nearly shut up in Barcelona.—
Lieutenant-Colonel CartßoL, one of the British Of-
ficers attached to the Army of General BLAKE, has
pu4shed a very animating Address to the inhabitants
of Biscay, in which he confidently anticipates the
success of the Spanish arms.

- WE have so often expressed our sentiments re-
speaing the indecency of continuing to petit;on the
ik..-ttsro for that which his MAJESTY has solemnly
promised, and has ordered all due measures to be
taken for. the purpose of having his gracious prothisc
fulfilled, that we need say but a very few words on
the Meeting which took place yesterday at Hackney,
on this subje&. Our Readers will find an account
of this Meeting in another part of ow Paper. The
leading men yesterday, are notorious for the zeal
with which they have systematically opposed Go-
vernment for many years, and therefore it would
have been more sutprizing if they had reflained
from coming forward on such an occasion, than if
they had shewn due respea for the Royal Charaaer,
and had manifested a dutiful reliance on the Royal
word. The Meeting, though numerous, constituted
but a small part of the real Freeholders of the County
cf Middlesex, and if they had all aaually been Free-
holders, still we are persuaded that there is so much

good sense, so much genuine patriotism, so nice a
regard for justice, and so great a respet for his Mit..
JESTY in the County at large, that it would dis-
dain to give its sanction to the proceedings of yes-
terday, and to insult a just and venerable Mo-
narch by again asking him to grant what he Has
already granted. The Petition assented to yesterday
is of a more intemperate chara&er than any that has
yet been proposed on the subjed but this is not a
matter of surprise, as it was probably framed by Mr.
CLIFFORD. It expresses inclination, as well as
deep regret, at the late. events in Portugal, and yet
disclaims all intention to prejudge the matter. Such
is the consistency, or rather the candour, of that
Petition which professes to solicit inquky. That the
chief agents yesterday wereaCtuated by party feelings
is evident, as well from their conduCt on the spot,
as from their perseverance in requiring- what they
know is on the'eve of taking place, as the most in-
decent .treatinent was_ experienced by those who
ventured to of pose the btihjed of the Meeting.—
Mr. ML1.1.111, qtle of the Membep for the County,
met with frequent interruptions, though he said
notting. but what was perfeetly consistent with a
due, .re4;ard for the rights of the stibiea, as well as'for

the dignityof the Crown..--This Gentleman observed,
that be did not believe any man in the place actually
thought that a due investigation would not take place,
and we not only agree with him, but are convinced
that there is not a man of sense in the whole kingdom
that can possibly have a doubt on the subject. His
Majesty, in his answer to the City of London, de-
cidedly manifested his sentiments on the subject, and
plainly demonstrated that no application could be
necessary to induce him to direct an Inquiry, since
he declared that the Convention had disappointed
the hopeS and expectations of the Nation. After
such a declaration, as none can pretend to doubt
that a full inquiry will take place, it is abso-
lutely disgraceful to the Country that Meet-
ings should be held for the purpose of in-
sulting him with farther requisitions.—Mr. By NG,
who, by trimming a few years ago, hattvery nearly
lost his seat for Middlesex, and who has by no
means firmly regained his political reputation in the
County, thought it. necessary to endeavour to prop
his character yesterday, by expressing a wish that
" the friends of,Liberty would defend their rights as
vigilantly as the Ministers, and their followers all,.
servants, watcle_over the Prerogative." it is not dif-
ficult to conceive what characters Mr. ByNG alluded
to when. he mentioned the friends of Liberty, as
plenty of such friends were present yesterday ;
but as he doubtless intended to designate men who
are constantly eudeavouriug to thwart the measures
of Government, and who are the chief fomenters of
these Petitions, we are glad to find, that though he
did not intend to say any thing complimentary to
Ministers, he has thus borne testimony to their re-
gard for the Constitution, by acknowledging their
vigilance in guarding the monarchical branch of it,
while there are so many zealots for democracy every
day attempting todisturb the public tranquillity. Up-
on the whole, the Meeting of yesterday was of just
such a charaeler as those which preceded it, only
that the Petition was a more violent manitestation
of distrust of His Majesty's promise, graciously
pledged to,the People, and about to be immediately
carried into execution, with the fairest prospect of a •
decision satisfa6lory to the Nation.

The KING did not take his usual ride on Thurs-
day nor yesterday, the weather being very unfavour-
able.

The Duke of GLOUCESTER arrived yesterday at
Windsor, on a visit w their MAJESTIES.

The Prince of WALES was expected to leave
Windsor last evening, for London, and is expe&ed
to return the beginning of next week. He has been
four days on a visit to their MAJESTIES.
Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Fo-
reign Office, which sat from half after (me to half
after five o'clock. The tbllowing Members assist-
ed : Earl CAMDNN, the ,three Secretaries of State,
the LORD CHANCELLOR, and the CHANCELLOR Of
the EXCHEQUER.

Mr. DONALDSON, one of his Majesty's Mes-
sengers, left town on Thursday evening. He is to
sail for Stockholm in the same vessel with Mr.
MERRY.

It is intended to send out more men to Spain,
both from this country and from Ireland. The trans.;
ports that lately sailed from Portsmouth will return
immediately to that place and to Cork, ,under con-
voy of two frigates, with a view to this object From
the circumstance of these being chietiy cavalry trans-
ports, it is likely that the new expedition will cola-
sistof that description of force.
Some letters from Lisbon state, that the trans-
ports which conveyed the French troops to Rochelle,
have returned to the Tagus—;they arc to be sent to
England, to carry out more troops.
By accounts from Hanover we learn that twenty-
six Officers, belonging to the Spanish Algarva Re-
giment of Cavalry, lately reached that place under
escort. They were allowed to keep their horses,
and to wear their swords; they were quirtered upon
the inhabitants of. the place, aria. they were per-
mitted to go through the town and its neighbourhood,
without guard or attendance. , They afterwards
proceeded to their destination. Five hundred Spa-
nish horse were hourly expe&ed. The Govern-
ment Committee had issued an order to take into
custody a person named DANICAN, wherever
he might be found. The person alluded to
we suppose is Genus! DANICAN, who headed
the Sections of Paris when BLiONAPARTE was
an Officer under the' DireCtory, and employed to
terrify them into submission, an appointment
which he c-:!cuted with so much zeal that thou-
sand's of the inhabitants were butchered. Yet
this man is now the Ruler of that People whoa he
destroyed with such remorseless barbarity.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. to.—Arrived the Donegal, of
74 guns, from Portsmouth ; and the Cormorant
Excise Cutter, from a cruize:

SIR,

Our Generals have been severely, or rather very
scurrilously, accused of having suftred the ,French
to evacuate Portugal on terms said to be unnecessa-
rily and shamefully advantageous. Oui Ministers

also have been severely accused of having been dila-
tory in dispatching the several armaments sent from
this country, and also of having sent them out in-
sufficiently equipped for their destined services.
It seems to be generally allowed that BUONApARTE
has extraordinary talents for planning his enterprises
with great forecast; and for executing them with
surprising activity ; he is also represented as ha6ng
immense resources at his command.

Oa the sth of May, FERDINAND VII. signed an
absolute renunciation of the Crown of Spain, which
Was immediately conferred on JOSEPH BUONA-

In the end of May, or the beginning of June (for
I have not the means of giving exad dates, nor are
they material) Don MATTE.ROSA arrived here, on the
part of the Spanish Nation, to solicit the assistance
of England.
The following columns will shel.v what has been

NAND VII. and what by BUONA2AItTE W support

I do not take the money,

On this comparative view of the exertions made
by all the parties engaged,. I submit to the consider-
ation of your Readers the following quest ions :-
1. Is there any reasonable cause for the public to
be dissatisfied with the imprudence or inactivity of
our Generals or Ministers

2. May not the dissatisfa&ion, of late so preva-
lent, proceed from injudicious or unreasonable ex-
pe'aations ; or from an ignorance of some unavoid-
able, though not insurmountable, obstacles to carry-
ing on the war in a distant country; where the an-
nual produce of grain is not equal to the annual con-
sumption, where the Commissariat Department
cannot yet be well understood, and where there
must, of course, be particular difficulties in main-
taining numerous armies in the field ?
BUONAPARTE is, without doubt, making consi-
derable, and, perhaps, dangerous preparations to
carry his point, and no human foresight can predict
the final' event. But I beg your Readers to observe
that I profess 'to state faas only ; and I further
profess to state them in proof of the power, energy,'
and wisdom of this Country: From those fatis it
appears (as far as I can judge) that hitherto, from
JOSEPH'S Usurpation to this time, England has done
a great deal, Spain a great deal more, and BiJONA-
PARTE nothing. . _

A PLAIN SPEAKER.

Don CHVALLOS,.. in going upon a mission to St.
Petersburgh after having so completely developed
the infamous condudt of BUONAPARTE, respecting
the Royal Family of Spain, in the publication whir:o
be submitted to the world, has shown more zeal
for his country than discretion. He ought to re-
coiled that 'the murderer of the Duke D'ENIGHIEN
is now at the Russian Court, and that it the French
Tyrant were to send orders to ALILXANDER to give
'up CgvALLos as a rebel to Joslitin, King of
the passive Emperor of all the ItdsSiaS dare not re-
fuse the demand, and that if he did, CALTLINCOURT
