SUPERIOR ADVICE.

T is of :he first consequence to ascertain Jl.
whose talent and integrity a firm reliance may be placed
in affliction. Messrs. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons of emi-
nence and high professional attainments,
..Menibers of the
Royal College of London and Edinburgh, preseutto the Pub-
lic the result of 30 years experience in the CURE of VINE-
VEAL COMPLAINTS, and those Debilities glut Deficiebeles
which not *infrequently prevent or embitter the matrimonial
state. In the various gradations, from recent infection to
von:timed Lues,- their treatment- commands very often a
speedy, and always a radical cure. Indubious cases, their
1011, and well-arranged experience gives them a promptitude
of decision that secures the patient from being mercurialized
out of existence, or having his constitution undermined,.and
the vital principle destroyed by a latent, but insidious. dis-
order, or a blind mid fatal confidence in shallow pretenders.
In Nervous Debility, Vascular Relaxation, and Atony of the
Organs, arising from excessive indulgence, insalubrious cli-
mates, or solitary sensuality, the practice gives new life and
energy to the System, 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-vases of Venereal Infection are cured in the short pe-
riod of TWO DAIiS. To the Female Sex it will he consAttorr
to know that they may he cured of those Debilities which de-
feat conception, and sap the foundation of connubi: 1 felicity.
Patients treated with candour; delicacy, and inviolable' se-
crecy. Messrs. Currie and co. may ue consulted eretY day,

try,stating minutely the case, Mode of thing, &c. and inclos-

Having already so fully expressed- our opinion
of the deep interest attached to this volume, the
remainder of our task will consist more in ex-

traeting from it several of its striking.passages,
to illustrate these opinions, than in following

_them 'up by further remarks—We may, however,
briefly observe, what will have occurred to our
. readers that in any future editions there is much
room for amendments, both in the matter and
style of the translation.
The following picture of the French Army after
the destruction of Moscow is very singular :

• "At the time when the main pa-t of the
Rus-
sian -army had taken different positions, the lords
of the provinces in- the neighhOmbood of Mos-
cow, perceiving that the disasters• of the war had
highly exasperated the people, availed themselves
of it to 'stir them up, and aria Ahem against us.
Mary raised levii•s at their own expense, and
put themselves at the head of their iniurvent
peasants.. These forces, united to the Ciissacks,

intercepted:our convoys on the great roads. But
the principal aim of these military preparations
Was to harass our forage-rs, and, above all, to
take from 'them all the resources which they could
still procure 'trom the neighbouring villagei..
In digging under the ruins Of. Moscow, they

often fthiltitnagazineS of sugar, of 'wine, or of

bra illy. These discoveries, although they would
- have been precious in happier ti nes, were no
great relief for an army which had consumed all
the vegetables of the country, and who would, in
a short time, have neither bread or meat to ear.
Our rnttle peribhed for want of forage, and to
procure others, it was each day necessary to en-
rage in,comhats, always disadVantageons to us
for at so great a distance from czur country, the
smallest toss as sensibly felt by us.

!‘ Our,real misery was disguised by an apparent
abundance ; we had neither bread or meat ; yet
Intr tables were covered with sweetmeats, syrups,
and,dainties. Coffee; and all sorts of wines, serv-
ed in china or crystal vases, made it appear, that,
with us, luxury was nearly allied to priverty.'
extent and nature of our wants rendered. money of
little value to and this gave rise to exchanges ;
those who had cloth, offered it for wine ; and he
,vho had a pelisse could procure plenty of sugar
and coffee." .

After the defeat of Murat at Tarouta, all hopes
.of peace, which the .French till then most ardeutly
entertained; -vanished. ,

" The Emperor Ivas ,at the Kremlin, occupied
in -reviewing his troops, when he received- this
_unexpected news_ lie immediately becatite fu-
riotvi, and, in the transports of his rage, he ex-
'claimed, that it was treacherous and inflaions ;
that they had attacked the King of Naples in con-
tempt of all the lank of war ; and that none but
barbarians would have thus violated conventions.
immediately the parade was dissolved—all hoprs
of peace vanished, and the order for our departore
was given that very evening. All the corps were to
quit Moscow, and- take the grand road to Kaluga.
We hoped wP should go to Ukraine, to seek, im-
tler.a milder sky, countries less savage -and more
fertile. But those who. were best informed, as-
sured u 3 that our movement on Kainga was only
a false thanceuvre, to conceal from-the enemy our
project of retreating on Smolensk°. and Witepsk.
"-Those who did nor witness the departure of
the French army from Aloscow, can hare but a
faint idea of what the Greek and lionian armies
were when- they abandoned the ruins of Troy, or
of Carthage. The appearance of our army at that
nmment recalled to tier remembrance those inte-
resting scenes which are so admirably described in `,
the writings of Virgil and Livy. The lobg files;
of carriages which, in three or four ranks., exi-
tended -for several leagues, loaded with the im-
.
tnense booty which the soldiers had snatched front
the flames ; and those- Moscovite peasants, who
were now become oui• servants, gave one some
idea of toe slaves w ho followed in the train of the
ancients. Others bringing away with them women
and children, represented those warriors .amongst
Whom..the captives had been divided. Afterwards
tame several ammunition-waggons filled with
trophies, and Turkish or Persian draperies, which
we had taken troni the palaces of the Czars, and,
List of all, the famous cross of Saint Iwan glori-
ously closed the rear of an army, which, but for
the imprudence of its Chief,, would one day have
bad to boast having extended its conquests to the
limits of Europe."
Our Author next particularizes the daily marches
of the retreating army, and the daily augmenta-,
tion of- its difficulties and sufferings, till the fa-
mous battle of Malo-jaroslavitz, where the Rus-
sians first appeared in force to destroy their cruel
invaders. .From this hour the retribution of
Moscow fell fast .and heavily upon their • guilty
beads.

la this battle perished the son of the Hetrnan
Mud, whose death is thus. described—

Front thecommeneement of the campaign,
the son of the Iletinan Platotf, mounted on a
superb white horse front the Ukraine, was the
faithful companion In arms of hits brave father,
and always at the bead of the Cossacks. Lie was
distinguished by the advanced guards for his con-
rage. anti intrepidity. ; This tine young !Tian was
Cie idol of his father, and the hope of the war-
like ,nation, who would one day haVe been under
his command. But destiny had pronounced Ins
fate, and the fatal hour was at hand. In a des-

Nl)ON,
FRID_IY, DEC.EMBER 16, 1814.

iVe:have uo particular arriitil from the Conti-
nent to-day. The uext accounts. frinn Germany
will probably be importanin the Meantime we'
beg again to assure the Public, that there is no
foundation for the giooray croaiiings of the jaun-
diced and discontented among us, respecting the
state of affairs at Vienna.

We have inserted, from a Morning Paper, ac-
counts relative to St. Domingo, received by way
of Jamaica, and cannot do better than copy also
its remarks upon the intelligence thus ob•-
tained :

" It states that a vessel named the Vigilant had
arrived at Jamaica from St. Domingo, with intel-
ligence that e a-General Treaty of Peace bad been
signed between PETION and CHRISTOPWE, and bad
been publised previously to the sailing of
,the
Vigilant, in which it is said that they had mutually
agreed to sea-rend:2r St. Domingo to- the French
Government, on certain conditions and that all
the property, excepting that possessed by Gene-
ral and. other Officcrs7, was to be given up to their
owners.' Ihe same Gazette also states, that,` on
the Monday previous the Due de Manchester
school-ler, bearing the colours of .his MOst Chris-
tian Majesty, and having on board M. AUXION
LAVAISE, Adjutant-General in the French ser-
vice, and oae of the Commissioners from the
KING of FRANCE to St.-Domingo, proceeded for
Port-au-Prince.'

" This intelligence is directly at variance with
all the information we 'have for a long time past
received respecting the situation and disposition
of the Inhabitants and' Government of St. Do-
ntingo. The manifesto of King HENay, of the
18th of September last, in whichite declared, in
the most energetic 'terms, his irrevocable deter-.
ruination never to submit to the French dominion;
but to resist invasion to the very last extremities
of war; the declaration of a similar resolution on

the part of his rival l'Ertog;the degree of strength
which we must suppose the 'new Negro State to
have attained, and the various circumstances
arising from the love and pride of their new-born
Freedom,—all combine to make us withhold our
belief from an account which would falsify all that
has-occurred for years past in St. Vomingo."

The Rhenish' illercyry,. which, we received this
morning, contains a tedious. Essay, the gist of
which is to chew that Poland onght to be erected
into an independent kingdom, even under a
sian Prince, rather than
,be again partitioned.
The Writer dwells much upon the political expe-
diency of re-creating this Eastern' or Sclavonian
Nation ; btit as there is no novelty- nor pecaiar
force in his arguments, we do not think it neces-
sary to lay them before the Public.

There has been a new Journal established at
Madrid, under the.name of the Sun—We trust it.
will, by its loyalty and patriotism, prove itself
worthy of the appellation. At present it gives
the lite of a Saint in every publication, by way,
•
we suppose, of illustrating its heavenly course!

We are sick almost to nausea with the eternal
round of gross, palpable, and Wicked falsehoods,
with which the Organ of the-lowest Faction that
ever disgraced. Ifritish politics loads its detestable
columns. Yet we know not whether we ought
not more to feel contempt than indignation at
the efforts of this worthless Journal. With
an unparalleled quackery, it contradicts its own
inventions of one day on the next, and impu:-
,
dently states, that they appeared in other papers,
though it knows that this only happened -from
their being copied from itself, and that the sole
merit ofthe original untruth belongs exclusively to
the Morning Chronicle: This very day -there are
two instances of this unblushing chicanery and ef-
rontery. The Chronicle says,—

" We lament tosny that there is no truth in the statement
published in aft the Papers that the Portuguese Govenment
bad acceded to our wish, respecting the Abolition of the Slave
Trade.

Why, then, did it spread the mischievous report
which all the Papers copied only from its pretend-
ed communications from Rio Janeiro'? The
Chronicle says,

" There it no fotentlation for the rumour of a Duty, amount-
ing to a prohibition of all external trade, haling been passed
by the PRINCE REGENT." ,

Why then, did it invent this rumour and give
it to circulation. We will tell it, and openly too.
For the infamous
_purpose of embroiling, if it
could, this Country with Portugal. For this and
• •
this only has it assumed the cant of humanity
about the Slave Trade ; has it slandered Mr.
CANNING ; has it descended deeper and deeper
into the gulph of malignant.calumny and per,-
version of saved truth. What a despicable figure
doeS it cut with all its falsehoods, and all its
enmity to the interests of its eciuntry. But we
shall not waste, another word in exposing derelic--
tions from overrhonest principle so glaring that
even Its own besotted partizans must 'be ashamed
of them..
