BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
.157, New Bond-street, London, Octoher 12, 1850.

" Sir,—ln icquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
"About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had nrevionsly been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada In the 19th Dragoons, and
n Spain. under Sir John Moore. In the 18th Hussars. I always pro.
,ured the best 111,1iCal all, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th se who know some•
,hing of this disease.

'• It was during one or those paroxysm., between twelve and thir-
teen years ego, that I was reco nmended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
loci no time In procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
he pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.

" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
ale is so valuable, tha' were it not that the days of manic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered. hut on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
Is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.

31/1 AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregu'ariz'es and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at alt stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases IiDOWO to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of Self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various terms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
ineurrine grievous pensltles, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of iticcositlerate self-iodulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be remove%
and how the evil and its con equences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of pirsicel infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOtYFOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the qnly, legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hyped:deal and mock-modest, hes had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
ettention to these enormops oils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting thi4 department of practice, he has been amply
roe arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care or unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
on those who
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injery-
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The principles of the HYGELAN or MORISONIAN SYSTEM
are contained in the following propositions:--
1. The vital principle is to the blood.
2. Every-thing in the body is derived from the blood.
3. All constitutions are radically the same.
4. All diseases arise from impurity of the blood, or, in other words,
from acrimonious humours lodged in the body.
5. Pain and disease have the same origin, and may therefore be
considered synonymous.
6. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and
body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other.
7. Proper purgation by vegetables is the only effectual mode ,of
eradicating diselse.
15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di-
gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy
requisite for ridding the body of all impurities, was a desideratum.
16. This discovery was made by JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist,
in the composition of the VF,GETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE

SPIRIT OF THIS PUBLIC JOURNALS.
(From, the Times.)

Some inconvenience is naturally attached to the
use of the marvellous instrument which enables the
purveyors of public intelligence to conquer and
annihilate space and time, and to convey the infor-
mation which has just reached the confines of
Europe, at Trieste or Marseilles, to the breakfast-
table of every citizen of London, Paris, and Berlin,
for it is not always possible, when these flashes
of news are first seen en the horizon, to pronounce
with certainty on the accuracy of such intelligence.
In these days assertion flies ahnig the telegraphic
wire, while proof still travels in the post-bag, or by
far less nimble messengers. An instance of this
kind has just occurred. On Thursday evening last
a telegraphic message was circulated through
Europe to the effect that Prince Mentschikoff had
at once presented his ultimatum to the Porte •
that the Minister of War had been dismissed to
;
appease the wrath of the Russian Envoy, but in
vain ; and that on the entreaty of the Turkish Go-
vernment the British Charge d'Affaires had dis-
patched the steamer Caradoc to Malta, in order to
summon the British fleet to the Dardanelles, while
the fleet at Sebastopol was ready to start for the
Bosphorus. This message produced a considerable
effect last Friday on the Bourse at Paris ; but, al-
though it was not unknown to us, we thought it too
vague and improbable to deserve publicity here, and
we may now state with confidence that nothing is
known in this country to warrant the belief that
our fleet can have sailed from Malta at all. This
message, however, has been followed by one of a
more positive character, proceeding, not from Tou-
lon or Marseilles, but from Paris, and stating in
official terms that " the French fleet is ordered to
the Greer. waters." The authority of the Moniteur
does not allow us to doubt the truth of this asser-
tion, but it is unquestionably one of a most extra-
ordinary character. If it be indeed true that the
French fleet is ordered to the Greek Seas, that de-
termination has been abruptly taken by Louis Na-
poleon on his own responsibility, and it is entirely
unconnected with the policy that may be pursued
by this country. Yet for several weeks past the
attention of all Europe has been directed to the
state of the Turkish empire. Amicable communi-
cations have passed on the subject between the
French and English Cabinets, insomuch that our
Ambassador at Constantinople has commenced his
mission by a somewhat protracted visit to Paris.
.The Austrian mission of Count Leiningen has been
begun, carried on, and terminated, while that of
Prince Mentschikoff proceeded from St. Petersburg ,
to Constantinople in the slowest and most delibe-
rate manner. The progress might be traced as re-
gularly as the hands upon a dial, and at the ap •
pointed time it reached its destination. It was
therefore perfectly easy for
,the Governments of
Weitern Europe to determine beforehand the
course they intended to pursue, separately or
jointly, in the event of their assistance being in-
voked, by the Porte to enable it to resist the de-
mands of the Russian Envoy. Yet we are per-
suaded that no such understanding as one of our
contemporaries had alluded to is in existence.
In point of fact, the views taken by the French
and English Governments on the question of the
Holy Places in Palestine, which is the principal
subject of Prince Mentschikoff's mission, have no-
thing in common. The late French Ambassador
at Constantinople, had unfortunately, committed
himself to a rash and impracticable line of policy,
-involving topics nearly affecting the religious and
popular feelings of a great community. He has
been recalled, and the French Government have
since shown a great desire to settle the dispute by
a fair and moderato arrangement. The English
Government has only interposed in the affair to
recommend the maintenance of peace and charity,
especially in a Matter which derives its interest
from the most sacred local associations of Chris-

exaggerated. Prince Mentschikoffarrived at Con-
stantinople on the 28th of February,
with a suite
the
fleet
of twelve persons, including an Admiral of
in the Black Sea and a General. of Division. He
the
whole received with great solemnity, not only by e
whole Russian Legation in full uniform, but by a
long procession of the Greek clergy, heading the
Greek population of the suburbs of Constantinople
and the villages on the Bosphorus. On the follow-
ing day he received the visits of the great Turkish
officers of State, and on the 2d of March he called
On the Grand Vizier. But he seems to have been
expressly precluded by his instructions from return-
ing the visit of Fuad Effendi, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, on the ground that Fuad had deceived the
Emperor in some of his communications with re-
ference to the Holy Places. We further learn, on
the authority of a private letter, which we believe
to be correct, that Prince Mentschikoff and all his
suite have since been received with the usual for-
malities by the Sultan, and that the messages he
was charged to deliver at this audience were of
Vi very friendly character. There, is, in fait, no

ground whatever for believing that this mission
has any other definite object besides the restora-
tion of the privileges of the Greek Church in the
Holy Land to the state they were in before M.
de Lavalette took it into his head to meddle
with them ; and this question 'interests and
affects Turkey only in so far as she has allowed
herself to be alternately and inconsistently swayed
by the rival influence of France and Russia on be-
half of their respective churches. The possessions
which the Greek Church in the East has held from
time immemorial, involve rights which it is impos-
sible for the Emperor of Russia to surrender to the
Latin Church and to France, and he is bound by
the public opinion of his empire, as well as by the
fanaticism of his clergy, to maintain that ancient
position, But he has already signified that he does
not seek to render those rights exclusive, and it is
impossible to suppose that the Russian Govern-
ment would seize this subject, of all others, to
fasten a fresh degradation on Turkey, to
pick a
quarrel with France, and to run the risk of posi-
tive hostilities between two of the great Powers.
It is true that M. de Lavalette put forward exor-
bitant pretensions, and strained his influence to
such an excess, that he contributed to bring about
the reaction in the Turkish Government which has
already proved so calamitous to the empire. But
M, de Lavalette is recalled, and, with all the zeal
professed for the Ottoman Empire by some of the
French and English Ministers, neither of those
countries is efficiently represented. at Constanti-
nople at the present crisis, although its approach
has long been distinctly foreseen.
The real evil against which both France and
Russia would do well to guard themselves and their
agents is the attempt to interfere single-handed in
these affairs, which have never been conducted
with temper and disinterestedness except when
they have been regulated by the collective action
of the great Powers. If one State interferes in de-
fence of its peculiar claims, another opposes them ;
and a very insignificant dispute sets fleets and
armies in motion. That is the chief danger in what
is termed " The Eastern question," and we are
persuaded that nothing which can happen to the
Ottoman Empire with the cognizance of all the
principal Governments of Europe is so dangerous
to the general peace as any isolated attempt to
wring concessions from its weakness, or even to
support by extraneous force its declining authority.
Although therefore we should rejoice to see this
country exert its usual temperate influence in the
general consideration of these arduous questions,
we hope that it will be no party to hasty expedi-
tions, the consequences and results of which it is
impossible to foresee. Our policy is, at present,
to abstain.

(From the Morning Post.)
The Eastern question has once more assumed, as
we had anticipated that it must, an appearance
most important to our political relations with the
great Powers, if not imminently threatening to the
peace of Europe. The menacing circumstances
which we have already described as having arisen
at Constantinople out of the vindictive aggression
against the Porte of her formidable neighbours have
placed the sense of right and justice—perfectly con-
current, as it happily is—of this country and of
France in direct opposition to the apparent objects
and actual proceedings of Russia, with whieh ' the
intentions and ends of the Viennese Cabinet are,
of course, intimately connected.
The ultimatum with which Prince Menschikoff
has followed up the enforced resignation of the
Turkish Minister has driven even the sufferance of
the Turk to appeal to the protection of England
and France—a protection which, under inviolable
guarantees, that Power has an undoubted right to
demand, and which this ,country and France are
under an undoubted obligation not to withhold. The
immediate effect of this appeal our readers havebeen
already informed was a summons from the Queen's
representative at Constantinople to the British fleet
inthe Mediterranean. AdmiralDundas, however, ac-
cording to the last ath:ces, hadnot left Malta; but,
on:the other hand, the French fleet at Toulon was
under ordbrs ; and so complete anti cordial is
known to be the understanding on this question
between ourselves and France, that there can be
no doubt that whatever course may be taken will
be pursued in perfect unison by the two Powers.
It is clear, therefore, from the manifest tendency
and open acts of Russia, coupled with the equally
manifest resolution of our own Government and
that of our ally to maintain the balance of power
and the integrity of treaties, that the immense re-
sponbility of maintaining tranquillity rests at this
moment on the moderation and sagacity of that
remarkable man to whom it cannot be denied that
Europe has on former occasions been deeply in-
debted for the preservation of peace and order. It
is important at such a moment to remember, that
the Emperor Nicholas has hitherto, displayed, in
the management of that gigantic power with which
he, is charged, an appreciation so profound and so
just of his duties and of the rights of other Powers,
that it is difficult to conceive his deliberately per-
sisting in the course on which he has unhappily
been provoked or tempted to enter against a State
of which -he is bound, in common with ourselves
and the other parties to the Convention of 1841, to
respect the integrity and honour.
The importance, politically and commercially, of
maintaining the just rights of the Porte has lately
been fully discussed in this journal, and can scarcely
need further proof. But of the aggressive and am-
bitious policy of the northern powers, we regret to
observe that every movement on their part brings
some additional evidence. The course of the Aus-
trian Cabinet in the matter of Montenegro, and
the threatening proceedings with which it gave
weight to Count von Leiningen's mission, were
subjects of regret and uneasiness, which the subse-
quent measures of Russia have raised to a crisis of
real and well-founded alarm.

It is, indeed, impossible to disguise the fact that,
unless the Emperor Nicholas be content to modify
the terms which he has demanded of the Porte, or
to renounce the hostile means by which he has
threatened to enforce them, the most serious con-
sequences may be apprehended. The main hope
that he will do so rests on the firm good sense and
temper which have hitherto guided his councils.
On the other hand are to be considered the strong
temptation which the brilliant prize of Constanti-
nople has always presented to Russia, , combine-I
with the extreme soreness well known to have been
excited by the serious checks lately sustained by
Russian influence at the Porte on the questions of
the refugees within the Turkish frontier, and of
the guardianship of the Holy Places.
iAs regards the, policy of Vienna, and the influ-
ence which that Court may possibly exercise on the
question we have less warrant for. expecting, a fair
and moderate course, and have unfortunately been.
called on to notice strong symptoms not only in
the East, but in other quarters of Europe, of a
most aggravated injustice of principle. The treat-
ment of the unhappy Ticinese, though not a matte
for direct interference on our part,, is one which no
country, guided by the common .principles of hu-
manity, can observe with indifference. It is surely
monstrous that this mass of industrious people,
long settled as they have been in Lombardy, should
be forcibly, expelled, and. driven to ruin and starva-
tion, for no alleged offence but that of belonging to
a State, which, without having exhibited the
slightest hostility to Austria, has offended that
Powerab-
psorleusteerveantdheedxipclutyve.o.fthe
swss frontiermierelyb and they daring to
rights of Switzerland as a refuge.
Among the Italian States the short-sighted
tyranny and bigotted influence of Austria, have
produced results which force themselves continually
upon our obseriation, and excite unceasing appre-
hension for the tranquillity of that most unhappy
and ill-used land. To Sardinia, the hope and
stronghold of constitutional Government among
Italians, and therefore the dread and horror of
Zienna, the conduct of the latter Power has been
of a nature to call forth a warm and earnest re-
monstrance from this country. We trust that the
effects of that remonstrance may be not less bene-
ficial than Lord John Russell permits himself to
expect ; but the fact of its having been necessary
adds one to the many proofs that the councils of
the Austrian Empire are directed by an influence
of a most fatal and dangerous blindness.
One great lesson and one good result we think it
certain must be drawn from the present juncture
in our foreiin relations, whatever may' be its issue,
and that is the paramount importance of maintain-
ing our cordial alliance with France, and the true
and absolute identity of the interests of the two
countries (the best security for national friendship),
as opposed to the league of the Northern Powers.
