ADVICE.
WHEN regular Surgeons of acknowledged skill
and experience publicly offer their advice, and exert
their professional abilities for the cure of a few reigning
Diseases, they rise superior to that prejudice so justly ex-
cited iigainst the Advertisements of men ignorant of the first
principles, and wholly uneducated in the praCtice of Physic.
Messrs, CURRIE add Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majes-
ty's Service, continue, with unabated assiduity, to. eradicate
every species, of Venereal Infection. By applying on the first
appearance of Disease, a perfed Lure is in general completed
in the shop period of two days ; and in cases of the most
complicated nature, where the general praditioner has failed
of success, the Patient may rely on receiving a safe, certain,
and radical re-establishment. They have been equally suc-
cessful in the cure nt that derangement of the system which
is the consequence of the pernicious wasteful efteds of a ha-
bit lung and most unhappily pursued by the youth of both
sexes. In the one it wilt be found the unfailing source of
barrenness the other have its ravages fatally developed to
them by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely
remedied, terminates in impotence. These are its remote
and ultimate effects, while Consumptions, loss, of muscular
power, and various nervous complaints, ,usually character_
ize the earlier ages of this most insidious and destruetiveba-
bit. Of persons languishing under disorders incident to such
a lite, their treatment is simple, and has Itever proved unsuc-
cessful in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended
praCtice. In all cases of Debility and Deficiency, and in
every species of Venereal Infeaion, Messrs. Currie and Co.
may be consulted by either Sex, with the greatest secrecy and
honour, at their house, No. 107, Hatton-Garden.— Letters
(post paid) inclosing a Bank Note, will be duly answered,
and the necessary Advice an ;1 Medicines g,iven or sent to any
act of the Einedom.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Rd USE OF IiEER,

WEDNESDAY, FEE. 4.
Earl Fortescue, Lord Viscount Bulkel4r, and two
other Lords, took the Oaths and their Seats.
• Mr. HOBHOLTSE; and -several other Members of
the House -of-Commons, brought up the Irish Office
Abolition Biii, and the Grain Intercourse Bill which
Were read a first time.

. .
The Irish Militia Service Bill paised through a
Committee, and was reported.

SLAVE TRADE.

The. House was occupied. from half past four till
near nine o'clock in hearing Cot-111\40 on behalf of
the Petitioners against the Bill for Abolishing the
Slave Trade, with the exception of. two or three
conversations amongst their Lordships: Mr. Alex-
ander was heard for the Merchants and others in Li-
verpool, interested in the:WeSt-,lndia Islands; Mr.
Clarke, for the Corporation of 'Liverpool ; Mr: Plu-
tiler, for the-Merchants and others in general in-
terested in the West-India Islands ; and Mr. Scar--
I,ett; for the Islands of Trinidad-and Jamaica •

Mr. AleXander, at the close of'bis speech, -;with
respest to the extent of the African Slave Trade from
Liverpool, offered to bring evidence -to substantiate
the fads stated. . .

Lord GRENVILLE objeEted to this, as tending to
'produce unnecessary delay. Would their Lordships
now think it fit to ; heareOidence, as if the question
they had to discuss was totillyi unknown to therm?
This was the twentieth year:of the xliscussion ol.this
question, and the. mass ofevidence..colleeed• during
that time was; in his opinion; .amply. siitiicient thi-
every purpose for which-they could want evidence.,
There was' no necessity to call_ evidence to prove the
extent of the Trade, as it was its magnitude that
formed the evil complained of; •
tord.ELDON concurred in the propriety of -not
hearing evidence in this instance, but .protested
against the 'principle of not hearing evidence in any
case. whatever.
Lord GROSVENOR reminded the House of the Re-
solution passed last Session, declaring that this Trade
ought-to be abolished,
Lord HAWKESBURY protested against any princi-
ple being set up that a Resolution of that House.was
to be' conclusive-against their . afterwards examining
cv:dence with respect to the. measure proposed to be
enacted.

Lord HOLLAND considered.the..examining of evi-
dence in this instancelotally unnecessary.
The Duke of CLAngrrep concurred in this opi-
nion, but conceived that cases. might. arise in the
course of the arguments urged by, the Counsel for
the Petitioners, in which it rnizht be advisable to
hear evidence.' .

The examination of evidence was 'refused, as' it
was also in th 4 case of the Petitioners for whom Mr.
Clarke appeared.
Mr. Plumer, at the close of his speech, proposed
.to call thg Earl of Balcarras ; but, on being asked by
the Lord Chancellor 'with respect to what fa6ts he
intended to examine the Earl-of Balcarras, and it
being conceived from his answer, that the examina-
tion was only intended to relate to matters of- opi-
nion,

Lord GRENVILLE obje&ed, under those circum-
stances, to the examination of the Noble Earl. Had
there been any testimony required with. -respe6t to
facts, it might have been a question as to ho* far
such- examination -should ,be allowed.; but he pro,-
tested altogether against the principle of examining.
persons at their Lordships' Bar, merely for the pur-
pose of asking their opinions with respect to the sup-
posed .effect.. of measures of legislation proposed - in
that House.-

Lord ELDON agreed that the opinions of individuals
was not that species. of -evidence whic„h ought to be
received at the Bar of that I-louse.

After a few words from Earl GROSVENOR, ill a
low tone of voice,, .

Lord HOLLAND observed,--that according to the
speech of the Learned Cotinsel, the theorists were
those who had stated:fai:ts as they were; and then the
Learned Counsel proposed to call men of experience
to prophecy to the House the etied which this mea-
sure would produce in future. -
The Bishop of LONDON also objeEted to the exa-
mination of evidence.

The Duke CLARENCE thought that evidence was
necessary with respe& to the etfed produced by the
evacuation of. St. Domingo by the British troops,
and also with resped to the mode of settling at
Trinidad.

The House refused to hear the proposed evidence.
• After Mr. Scarlett had.AllOsed his speech,
Lord ELDON moved for an Address to his Majesty,
praying for Copies of all Correspondence between
any of his Majesty's Secretaries of State and the Go-
vernors of Trinidad, *ith respell to grants of
.land
in that Island.

Lord GRENVILLE said, he had.no objetaion to the
Motion ; he did not exaaly know whatit might
.produce; but with respea.to the objeal of it, he could
state, that in the Commissions issued to the Gover-
nors of the other Islands, there was.a Clause insert-
ed, authorizing them to make grants of lands ; but
in the Commission to the Governor of Trinidad this
Clause was omitted. Since Trinidad had been in
our possession, it had been the objea. of- Govern-
ment that the cultivation of that Island should be
plaeed upon that footing, that it might not em-
barrass, the question respe&ing the Abolition of the
Slave Trade... .

The Duke of CLM.MENCE observed, that it had been
stated, that a number of Chinese had been landed in
Trinidad, for the purpose of assisting in the cultiva,
tion of the Island. , He wished to know by what
authority they had been sent thither.

Lord GRENVILLE said he, had heard .of,.a number

nf Chinc.cp havincr buoy; lon‘ha,l its

• '
LI,RIbI SIXPEVi Ea

. . ,
. .
did not know by *hat authority they had 'ten sent
,there.
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE said,
.they were
sent there in consequence of a.cornmun;cation rnaje
•by him, when he. had the honour of holding die
. of ce,of.one,of his Majesty's SecretarieS of State.
Lord GRENITILLE moved, that the Ordf;r• for read-
ing the Slave Trade Abolition Bilk a. second lime this
day, should be discharged;, in order to renew-it for:t6-
.mdrroi.v, with an understandiug that it should cone
on to-morrow, and that' the debate on the Measure
should be on the second reading.
. __The Order was discharged, the Bill ordered to be
read a second time to-Morrow,, and the Lords to ba
summoned.

Adjourned till tn-morrow (this day).

RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRADE OF FRANCE,

BY NEUTRAL CHANNELS.

Mr. PERCIVAL rose, pursuant to the notice
he had given above a fortnight since, for the
pose. of moving for a Paper,.w i h h trusted, when
laid before the Ho-use, would •pp.ear of slch a uate,-e
as to deserve the most serious consideration. 'But
though the discussion of the Paper in question
would be sufficient to open its importance to the
view of the House, he thought some apology and ex;
planation was due from him for the pomparid solemni-
ty of introducing a Nation of such a nature,' in tinrn
only a. mere Motion for aPaper, by so long a notice.
The Paper he meant to move for had been for a con-
siderable time on the table of every colee-h ruse in
London, and on the table of every hou.e throughout
the country where a Newspaper was' received. The
Paper had been, for the purpose of the most authen-
tic and extensive ciqm;zitlon, published in the Ga-
zette, as the law by whch the conduct of the Bri4
tish Navy was to be regulated, and to which Neutral
Nations were to be henceforth subjcat. Under..these
circnmstances,, he thought he should be idly trifling
with the feelings of. the :House,' in giving notice for
so distant a day of a Motion which, to all appear-
ance, was hut,a .matter
.of course. It •s was neces-
