SUPERIOR ADVICE.

TT is of Zile first consequence to ascertain on
whose talent and integrity a firm reliance may be placed
in affliction. Messrs. CURRIE and Co. Surgem's of emi-
nence and- high professional attainments, Members of the
Royal College, of London and Edinburgh, present to the Pub-
lic the rest*. of 30 years experience in the CURE of VENE-
REAL COMPLAINTS, and those Debilities.and Deficiencies
which not unfrequently prevent or embitter the matrimonial
state. In the various gradations, from recent infection to
confitmed Lues, their, treatment commands very often a
speedy,, and alWays a radical cure. In dubious, eases, their
long and well-arranged experience gives them a promptitude
of decision that secures the patient from being lllCECUr,anzeti
out of existence, or having his constitution undermined, and
the vital principle destroyed by a latent, bitt- insidious dis-
order, or a blind and fatal confidence in.slialow pretenders.
In Nervous Debility, Vascular Relaxation, and Atony of the
Organs, arising',from excessive indulgence, insalubrious eh-
Mates, or solitary sensuality, the practice gives new life and
energy to the Systeon, - even in cases which are verging on de-
spair. Strictures, and other derangements of the Urethra,
they remove in a mild and effectual manner. Slight and re-
cent cases of Venereal Infeetion are cured in the short pe-
riod of TWO Days. To the Female Sex it will be consolatory
to know that they may be cured of those Debilities which de-
feat conception, and sap the foundation of'connnbial
Patients treated with candour, delicacy, and inviolable se-
crecy. Messrs. Carrie and Co. may oe consulted every day,
at their house, 107, Hatton-garden. Letters from the coun-.
try, stating minutely the case, mode of &c. and inclos-
ing a remittance for Advice and Medicines, will be treated,
with studious attention.-107, Hatton-garden.

POLITICAL 1347LECTIoNs on the true Iki.nuEsTs of the FiI.ENCH
NATION, and on some Publications which have lately ap-
peared.% By P. A, CUATEAUBRIAND, Bvo. Pp 159. price GI
HENRY COLI3ERN;Conduit-stveet.

- Among the political writers who batty,; sprung
up in France within
,the few months in which it
has been possible for individuals thus .to.express
,their opinions on public matters; no one has been
more, if any one so much, distinguished as M. de
C WATEAUBRIAND: His celebrity has. been extend 7
ed throughOttt his own country,-.and ,his works
have been translated into most of the Continental
Tongues. It was natural to expect, therefore,
that what he wrote should not only speedily find
the way to England in the language of the Au-
thor, but that translations into ours shohid con-
tribute to the more general diffusion of senti-
ments of which the great -majority and sounder
portion of the British people must highly approve.
The latter has been 'faithfully executed in the-
Pamphlet before us, with the contents of which
we hasten to make our readers more intimately
acquainted.

Previous, however, to entering /upon this task,
we shall take the opportunity of offering a few re-
marks upon the nature of the publications to
which, this purports •to be an answer ; and upon
the state of the riench,Press, and the construc-
tion put upon its productions, by most of the pe-
riodical writers in this country. We are the more
inclined to this course, because we think there
is as much folly, and delusion,, and contradiction

afloat upon this important question as upon any
which occupies public attention, and conceive it
to be our humble duty to do our utmost to duci-.
date points, the continuance of which in obscurity
and misapprehet,Sion is likelyto lead to very dan-
gerous consequences.

It is too well known to need demonstration,

that there is a party in this country, not very nu-
merous, indeed, but very loud,—not very strong,
but very indelatigable,—not very tvise, but very
violent,—not very
_powerful in argument, but very
bold in assertion,—not very choice in weapons,
but very active in the use of the, worst,—a party
that skewed itself firmly attached to the order of
things which (thanks to the glorious persever-
ance of Britain) has just been overthrown in Eu-
rope, and which is at this time peculiarly hostile
to the state of affairs which has succeeded, and
to all those who participated in the mighty strug-
gle by 'which the old system was destroyed, and
the new system established. This party has, it
appears, A correspondent faction in France—a
faction not more respectable in. point of numbers
and character than itself, and like it despised by
the good, held to be infamous by the loyal,- and
causelessly dreaded by, the' timid who are well-
disposed. Under the standard of disaffection, in
both countries, we find rallied, men of broken
fortune and perished fame, men discontented be-
Cause excluded from power,- the remains of Ja-
cobinism and
,the still unsatisfied body of demo-
cracy, the restless and the turbulent of every class ;
such are the component parts which consolidate
the ranks of what we call the Opposition, and
what the French term the Disloyal.
The Press, as may readily be imagined, is too
potent an engine to be neglected by these persons ;
it is, on the contrary, their main fulcrum and
dependance. In France it is employed in the form.
of Pamphlets, and in 'England in the more effi-
cient mode of regular Periodicai Publications.
MELI EE DE LA TOUCH E and the Re-publishers of
the Protest of Parliament stand pre-eminent on
the one side ; the Morning chronicle, front
its superior audacity and depravity, (though it
has many minor coadjutors) enjoys, almost
alone,' the odium of being distinguished on the
other. Of the - forder M. DE CH ATEAUBRIAND
has ably exposed the senselessness and iniquity ;
happy should we be could 'we in any treasure pre-
vail in rendering equally notorious and detestable
the foolishness and'villainy of the latter. And surely
we May entertain some hopes of success in this
respect, for, though we may confeis ourselves'far
removed from the possession of Talents like his,
we have all the advantage of addressing ourselves
to a People far more generally 'informed, especi7
ally upon political subjects--to a People not new
to the dis-ctission of theories of Government, but
practised and experienced in the best7and, abOve
all, to a People of that solidity and sense, coin-

of
greltensiveness of intellect, and. sonndness
moral principle which renders thelabonrs of rea-
soning addressed to theni, easy, and !3ffords the
fairest prospect,Of producing the desired fruits, if
the seed sown be only so right and wholesome as
to warrant the fair expectation of a prOsperous
return in the crop of mental conviction..
The condition of the French Press, in so far'as
the words of the Law respecting the censorship
appiy to it, is distinctly knomn to tlikePublie, and
it is unnecessary for us to dilate upon that topic.
But-there has been a forced and excessive con—
struction put upon that Law, not Only by the
Party Organs in this Country, but by those who
ought to have more accurate knoWledge and more
honest feelings, which renders .it incumbent upOn
us to endeavour to' dissipate. the illusion: This,
we think, may be most shortly and satisfactorily.
doneby the argumentain ad ahsardum. The
maiu-
tainersLoF the doctrine that. the Law of Censor-
ship has entirely destroyed the liberty of the Pres,
in France, and subjected the Government, which.
tacitlysanctions every publiCation, to the peril of
. being held responsible as the author thereof, seem
to us to.carry the argument to an extent which.
cannot for an instant be defended. It may suit

theirba4 views indeed to consider-stich.and -such
Essays in any Newspaper or Brochure that is pub-
• lished, as emanating. froin, and speaking the senti--
, meta% of the French Government ; hitt if th, per-
mi•;.F•ion of that GoVernment ;s capable of this un-
limit.-d—explanation, if it. is to he Said that it
approves of that-which it doeSniot stop, and mitt
frepotitically.iinswerable for all that in the exer-
cise of its prohibitory authority (which it assures
us 'is only Appliert mOrialy)i it allows to issue from
the Printing Office r what shall we say to, La
Touche' s virulent and inflammatory attack tipon,
the Kiwi, the new Constitution, and the sta-
bility of the House of BOURBON, t'ir what
intereretation can be given of 'the other pamphlet
. to which we have allude 1, the Protest of the Par-
liancent, with its notess6 truly mischievous and
iacobinical, so hostile to the existing state of-
things, and so favourable to confusion and rebel-
'jolt that the iliorniag Chronicle describes them
as the most, spirited, ,freedom-:breathing, liberal,
patriotic, and philO-ophical emanations of the New
School. 'lf any and every trite or absurd sperm-.
lation in Cie Patisian Journals, if every tribute
- to natinlial vanity which proceeds front the press
of France is to be considered as the. dicta of the
Government, by what rule- are the hold-faced
villanies of the Regicide La. ToUcHE, (insulting
beyond endurance as they are to that Govern-,
trent), and the insidious fallacies of the Protest
Manttfarntirers to be separated from•-the general
mass of productions sanctioned by, and there-
fore delivering the opinions ~ the "Rulers of.
.France.. We leave it to, the wits of tfT adver-
saries 'to reconcile this, to us, insuperable dlr...
ficulty. t•
It is i).7 time, however, to turn ,from
intro-
ductory remarks to the volume of -AI the Cit ATEAU-
BR 1 XD. haveulrearly hinted that it is a very
clevet - and ingenious production ; ma.dlesting
great abilities, aria displaying the author as a
pet sun well read in history, of a eh: o- and inc.d
undm.standing, an acute 'contraversiast, and a
luminous ,learned, and ,convincing reasoner. Were
we to add, as a further eulogium, that to us he
appears. to bring to the contest in an especial
tuahner, the perspicacity and intelligence of -11
English mind, the process of which he throws
out with prodicjoes effect, in the neat, terse, and
epietanunatiek style, which 'so much distinguishes
the hest writers of France; we should .only be
stating a troth, which must still More recommend
, this pamphlet to the pernsal of those who are not
averse to having the iatiocivation. on the side of
real patriotism, loyalty, justice, 'and, virtue, ex-
- pressed in elegant and convictive language.
• . M. de-,CHATEAUBRIAND'S proposed design into
answer the different objections 'in several political
- publications which have lately been circulated, to
reconcile opinions, and to call _the attention 'of all
Frenchmen to their true interests. These inte-
rests being at the sametime strictly-consistent
with the tree interests of every nation in Europe,
• and of none more than Great Britain ; k is npt
unnatural that we should accord our most ungna-

lified approbation to thsiwork which SO admiribly
enforces them. 'lt commences with a marked and
effective aEuSion,to LA TourtE's letter to Louis
XVIII. of which,'as it is not immediately under
our cognizance; We shall not step further out of
• our way'than to state; that of all the unprincipled
pamphlets we ever perused, we do not remember
one more infamously conspicuous for talents per-
verted to the propagation of the vilest sentiments,
the advocacy of .he most. diabolical doctrines, and
the conveyance of. instill to the throne, combined
with injury to the state, rnischiel to the people,
and maievolenec to the human race. It is, in'
