HONOURED Sin,. . Edinburgh, March 18.
11,EG leave to inform you, that ever since the
:year 1790, A had- been afflicted with the-Lugs Venerea ;
which, from its obstinately resisting every coarse of mcdieine
prescribed.by the mostiemiottit of the faculty here, and ari-
dergoinfr several severe co-Arses of,salivation, and twice dis-
eharged'from the Hospital with little reiief, ..Would appear to
be of the. most inveterate nature.. In the spring of last year
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a-period
to my existence—Thad a fargd ulcer on the crown of my head,
one op each arm, and my legs were broke out lira frightful
manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the'last seven years my left had els&
two large nodes dig it, was very much discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating ,pain,. particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable suite, 'I
was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (:who so
great a eure by them here}, to raise your Leake's Pats nt Pi:ls,
which 1 began to do ott the 26th-of May; in -the course or a
fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my head and arm; were soundly healed—
soon after, the sores on my legs healed also; leaving, how-
ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little
rongwr perseverance in your invaluable Nledieine, subsided ;
the -.lodes dispersing, the-skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pants gradually going- of'.—l thus because, by
you Ilberrl advice and medicine, perfectly} free from all my
former complaints—have recoVered my' former spirits and-
strengtli,'.-andam become jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many months to the astonishment of all who knew
me, I .am at a loss In what terms-to express my gratitude, but
beg you, for the good of-other suffering mortals, to make
this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every vcca-
sion;.tnaso doing. you wilt greatly oblige, •
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very.humble servant.,

" At length, having passed through Ghorodbk,
. Borisov (Oct. 29th), in themidst of almost lin-
- penetrable clouds of smoke,- we entered, an hour
aft( rwards, on a plain which appeared 'to base
be long since devastated. We saw at a distance
the dead bodies of men and horses, and numerous
-'intrenchments, half-destroyed ;- also the- appear-
ance of the ruined town, which we recognised as
the environs of Mojaisk, through which we had
• passed as conquerors fifty-one days before. The
.Poles encamped upon the ruins, and;- at their de-
parture, burnt the few houses which had escaped
the first conflagration. The destruction was so
complete, ,that we could scarcely see the light of
the flames. The only thing which struck us was
the newly-erected tower, rising amid the ruins,
. and; by its whiteness, forming a melancholy con=
trast with the _black clouds which enveloaed it.
It remained entire, and the clock yet tolled the
hours, though the city was no more.
- " Our corpg did nOtpass through Mojaisk, but,
striking'off to the left, We arrived (Oct.-29th) at
the site of the village of Krasnoe, where we had
slept the day after the battle of the Moskwa : I
say the site of the village, for the houses existed
no longer, and the chateau alone had been pre-
served for the use of Napoleon. We encamped,
round the ekateau, and, as long. as I live,. I shall
recollect the comfortable night which we passed,
protected from the while we slept on the
yet warm- ashes of the houses, which had been
;burnt-the day before. a
" (Oct. 30th.) The further We advanced, the.
more desolate the country appeared. The fields,
trampled 'down by thousands of horses, seemed as
though they had never been cultivated. The fo-
rests, cleared by the long continuance -of the
-troops, partook -likewise-of the general
- But most horrible was the multitude of -
dead bodies, which, deprived of 'burial fifty-two
days, scarcely retained the human form. On,ap-
proaching Borodino; my Consternation was
.."pressible at finding the twenty-- thousand men,
.who were there destroyed, yet lyicig 'exposed on'
the 'same. spot. The. whole plain was ''entirely
covered with them. • None of the bodies were
-more than half buried. Here were to be seen,
garments
..yet red with blood, and 'bones gnaWed
by dogs and birds of prey ; there broken arms,-
drums, helmets and swords : fragments ofstand-
arils lay scattered thick around, and froth the
emblems with sthich they were covered, it was
easy-to judge how much the Rhssian Eagle had
saffered on that bloody day.
" (-November 6th.) • We marched towards
Satolensko, with an ardOur which redoubled our.
strength;' and, approaching Dorogoboni, distant
from that city only 20 leagues, the thought that
