ESSRS.- CURRIE and Co. Surgeons., late in
his Majesty's service, challenge the whole world to
prove a single instance where their medicine and Methefibl
cure have failed 'of the desired effect. The pract iee 'of many
years in this particular branch of .their profession, tray not
given rise to one unstie.7essfill a 5.,.." •
They continue.to direct their studies to the treatment and
cure of venereal complaints, and tiett derangement of tire sy S.
tern, which is the consequenceof the penurious and wasteful
effeas of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
youth of bin!: sexes.' In the-one it will • be-found tri he the
Unfailing source of barrenness; the other have its.:ravages fa-
tally developed to them by a.distressing state of debility,
which if not timely remedied, terminates in impotentcy,
these are- its remote and ultimate et:bets, while consumed
tion, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints,
usually charatterise the earlier stages of tnis solitary:.vice.--
Of.persons languishing un ler the disorders incident to such a
habit, their treatment is simple, and has never proved Unsuc-
cessful in, the course of a long, Laborious, .and-iriuch .extended
prOice. In the most obstinate and erAmplicated cases of ye,
nereal infection, such as obstruetions in the urethra, spongy
excrescences, hard tumors, callous ulcers, eruptions, seitu,
nal weakness, gleets, as also
cI`IUCTURES;
Whether recent or of ..mg duration; and which hive bal
fled the skill of other Prattitioners, are by their present im-
proved plan of treatment, effectually and permanently cured,
without the
~Patient suffering, the excruciating pa it and
alarming hemorrhage Which -frequently follows the applica-
tion of the lunar caustic. In the course of twenty years
extensive- practice in this. Metropolis, numerous cases of
Strictures haVe been and are daily under theireare,. the total
eradication of which is etli:cied by a We, certain, and expe_
ditions mode of .phielice, superior to any other yet adopted.
The weakness, relaxation, andsdebility proceeding. from this
Complaint are speedily removed, and the Patient restored- to
sound and vigorous health. But *here the debility has 'tin
years existed, a proper perseverance in their restoratiYe re-
medies, after the Stritturelias been destroyel, is indispensa-
bly requisite to revive the slumbering si Arks of life and to
reanimate the constitution. _ _ -

Several Noblemen and Gentlemen of the first respeda.
bility, have been under the care of Messrs. 4 urrie, and Co.
for the removal of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c.
and having received a radical and permanent Cure, request
that references may be given to them, as satisladkory
deuces of the decisive superiority of Messrs. Currie and Co's.
plan of trtattnent. Many of these Gentlemen have had stric-
tures from to to zo years, and had been under the rare of
Messrs. Home, 'Heaviside, and other Surgeons-of equal emi-
nence, who attempted the cure by-the application ot the
Lunar caustic, without success. _ _

[FURTHER EXTRACTS.]

BARCELONA, AUG. 1.--On the 27th of .Tult, at
three o'clock in the morning, an expedition, con-
sisting of the brigades Lamarque, Devaux, and
Clement, tnarhed from this, and arrived in-the
:evening at: Martorell. Orders were then given
to the troops to march_ all night, and to attack
Monserrat at the break of day. Some in-sleet
shots discharged'by the sentinels of the insurgent -1
army apprised the enemy of our approach,. and
at day-light we found .onrselves in front of the
entrenched position of Cash Masana, where the
corps of Manse: was. drawn
.up in order of battle.
Dispositicinsrwereinstlutly made to carry the en-
trenchments. The enemy was overthrown and
pursued to the gates of Manresa. Our troops then
moved rapidly upon the convent, the approaches
to which had been recently strengthened with
works.' The road is commanded by a fort which
the- English 14 caused to be constructed at the
'hermitage of St-Dimas, higher up than the con-
vent, in a position almost inaccessible. Our
troops passed under the fort, notwithstanding the
multitude of balls, stones, and fragments of rocks -
'which the Anglo-Catalartregiment stationed there,
showered.- down ipon them. M. Lafaille, Chief
of the battalion of . Engineers, entered the con 7.
vent with theloreinost. of the troops ; but they
were'contimially under the fire and the projectiles
from 'the fort of .St. Dimas. The column of the
chief-of battalion Sarrere, advancing by Colbato,
drote- away. every enemy that opposed it, and
arrived on one of the points of the mountain in
front, of the fort, from Which it greatly annoyed
the garrison by a well-stipported fire of musketry.
The Adjutant Commandant, Ordonneau, and
M. Lafaille, Chief of :the Battalion of Engineers,
with aletachment of the Voltigeurs of the 111th
regiment ofthe line, clambered up to the 'gate of
the fort, by titeps . cut nearly perpendicularly in
the -rock; and in which a few resolute men would.
have easily arrested the progress of the strongeit
columns.; Theenemy called in their outer posts,
and' destroyed the bridge .which led to the fott
across a precipice. • Major Chevalier, of the 11th
the!line, then advanced upon the -summits of
the rocks situated in fl out of the fort, and sum-
moned the English Commander -to surrender, but
received an answer in the negative. General
CleMent then . directed Lafaille; Commandant
Engineers;: to reconnoitre the position in which
our two pieces of mountain
.cannon would be
placed with advantage. These guns had been
brought by 150 men of the 3d light regiment, of
the 11th, and 115th, and arrived at the position
at two in the. morning on the 29th. The re."
mainder of the night SVD:S employed in the cart-
Strintion of batteries, which- began to play at day-
break. They were placed within less than inns-
het shot from the fort. . Our voltigeurs, stationed
in the highest' points of the rocks, kept up a
continual fire- on the works, and favoured the ac-
tion of the artillery. The enemy* was discon-
certed by-so unexpectecl.an, attack, and consented
to' capitulate. 'By the capitulatiOn, which was
. „ signed-by the Adjutant Conimaaidant Ordonneau,
Chief of the Stag,, and tie English. Colonel Green,
the garrison were. to be prisoners of- war, and to
be. conducted to Barcelona. - _

The loss of the enemy has been very consider:
'able, as well at the attack of Casa Massana as ht
'that of the fort of Dimas, of Colbato and Menis-
trol. These actions will have the most fortunate
results; they have been extremely brilliant for
all the troops, which clambered up, under the
enemy's fire, those rocks which appeared to be in-
accessible. The 29th and 30th were employed in
deitroyiug and blowing up the ion, the works of

the enemy, and a part of the Convent. Thus tbe
insurgents Who had 'prepared one of the'finest re.:
ligious edifices in Christ.nidom, by transferring it
into a fortress, and in making it an arsenal and
a :1..p0t for all article , liecesSary-: for 'War,: are:
alone to blame for the destrrietion of this eek-
brated monument, the objet of the ancient vene:'
ration of the people. • .
We have brought to karcelOna the.
lonel Green, one tientenant,tolonel, filteen of-
'kers, and 260 non-commissioned officers and pei=
vates of . the Anglo-Catalan force, -.Whieli)awere
• formed,'paid, and: commanded 'by the English:7=-.
This Was the basis Of that eorpS orravliich the au-
thors of the Catalonianinsuerection founded their
greatest hopes..
• VALENCIA .JtreN 20.—For a considersble tint'spast,
nas't con-filled attack upon the army of Arra-
•
gon, and a descent upon the coasts either Of Cats-
lenia or Valencia. has been contemplated at Me.- ,
joac4 and Alicant. On the 10th, the Ma rShal T..)t
d.'"t.l.bufera had an interview- at- Rens with the
Commander-In Chief Dedaen. The juncti;3ii-Of
their columns upon the coast drove Lacey off
frustrated the expedition from Majorca. A part
of the fleet was separated from the whole. On
his return to Valencia,' on the 12t1a," the -Marshal
found Villacampa at the gates Of Lira With 49U0
men •; while Passeeonr, at the head of 151;0, was
employed in,.the attack of cosSentes Regueaa ;
and Oada arid Segorba was raenhced
,hy et -small
body of troops, Ma-Excellency ordered General
LaFosse to march with the 121st arid Bth !-4eapo
litan, and some cuirassiers,;_ at the head of these.
he routed the eneMy. In'the mean titne the army
Of.Mincia, which had effected a junction, and liatl
been reinforced,
.seemed disposed to attack in front
ofeXucar. On .the 21st, an English fleet ;of tea
sail, of which fOru7 were of the line and four fri-
gates, and the remainder sloops and transports,
appeared before Valencia, and having the wind in'
their favour, passed rapidly. on frour.Denia
Cullers, between the mouths of the Xucar and the.
Albufera, seeming as if they were just about to
'land, and keeping up a-fire on the forts, which its
return' fired on them. The Marshal puke of
bufera immediatelY adopted measures for their re-
puls4e. He recalled Wneral La posse froM Re-
guena, and the 121 St from Segorba.. The 14th
proceeded with till possible speed from Aleira to
Cullera ; and the 4th hussars, the artillery, and
part of-the Ist light battalion, and the 114th, made
a forted march-in the night to the part of the coat;
whivh had_ been menaced.
Towards the evening, by 'good Tuck, quite un.
expected, the. wind-had changed suudealy, and
blew with such violence from the east, that the
fleet, after having passed the night in vainetfor:s,
wg.s obliged to-luff and bear away- on the 2-2 d. In
the ,course of .the night the Corituander in Chief
visited the. coast, and made himself the various
dispositions cat .thofie•p` psi
At the same time General Harispe, at the head
of the 2d division, had advanced before Alcoy, in
presence of the army of Murcia ; the Ist brigade
to Castella, under the orders of General Delort, -
and the second to Ibi, commanded by Col. Mesi--
lop.' Gen. Harispe, foreseeing the attack, had
chosen a central position, where the troops were
to rendezvoris and receive it. From the former '
evening the naovements of the enemy were known,
and the necessary arrangements made. On the. ,
21st, by day-break, the COnunandee fn Chief,
Joseph b'Donnel, at the head of four columns,
attacked Delort, who, pursuant to his instructions,
retired en eckellcrn, and. called in upon the point
fixed upon the camps Oflsiar andOitill No -sooner
was the first shot fired than Col MeSilo-p, whose
troops were ready, and under arms, marched to
join Gen. Delort,when be ,was. himself attacked
by a corps of 6000 men, commanded by the Eng.
lish General Roche, who had come by Xixona.—
With the assistance of the guns in the little
_fort
of Ibi, with the voltigeurs of.the 44th, and alia.nd--
ful of cuirassiers, he stops the progress of the ene-
my as they are passing a ravine and repulses
them ; bat, faithful to his orders, he leaies some
companies to observe the motions of.the enemy
with•the garrison of the fort, and proceeds innne-
diately to the field of battle, while Gen. Harispe
is calling in, from Alcoy, the reserve of the artil-
lery and the cuirassiers, and the .flank companies
of the 116th.
General O'Donnel had made a brisk attack.
Genual Delort,. who • had ,taken up an advani.
tageous poSition, kept up a heavy and severe fire
w;th his artillery. The 24th dragoons, when
then arrived on the right, hung upon the left wing
of the enemy, who were much harassed in conse-
qirence, and brought up two field-pieces against
the cavalry as they marched. In the mean time,
Calonel Mesilop having arrived on the left, Gene-
ral Delort did not think proper to delay any
longer. The troops expected thiS time with
confidence, and on the signal being, given,
as fiery' as they had before been Cool, they
rushed apbn the enemy on all sides, the ca-
valry
_and artillery in a trot, and 'the infantry
making'
,a.runnhig charge. Colonel .riiiessi leads
the dragOOns "straight forward against the ba:tery
which 'was playing on them with grape. "It is car-
ried in 'an instant, the artillerymen are put to the
sword, a brigade of infantry, who supported the
guns, are attacked at the same onset, broken,
and Made prisoners. The infantry and the cui-
rassiers at the same time make their way. into
Castella, carrying every thing before them: They
Complete the route of
,the enemy's entire line,
which flies on-all sides. The streets of Castella
are strewed With dead bodies, and Reram)erger,
the commandant of a battalion, compels 400 men
who had' taken rellsge in the citadel to 'lay down
their arias.
After this brilliant success, Colonel Mesilop
hastily,retwns. to Ibi with his column. The erre-

REPORT OF ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY
BY LORD WELLINGTON. • •

The Shig;• CLEMENT., master, .from Corunna,

arrived at Jersey on Saturday last ; left Comma
. 18th inst.; Captain, C. statei, that 'two days be-
fore he sailed, a Major hact arrived there from the
Army, with Dispatches fromliord WELLINGTON,
and was waiting for a conveyance tO,tugland in
al ship of war. ItWas reported,at Corinna, that
SeCond Battle had been fought, in which the
enemy lost 15,000 men and twenty-four pieces-of

cannon.

Another vessel has arrived at Guernsey, from

Corunna, with the same account.:,.
The above intelligence was brought from
Guernsey and Jersey by the Rapid packet, arriv-
ed yesterday at Weymouth..

The Thetis and the whole .of the Jamaica con-
voy arrived yesterday safe in the Downs. On the
6th inst. Commodore 110i)GEns's squadron hove
in sight of the convoy, upon which the iEolus, the
Shannon, and the Belvidere frigates, which were
escorting it across the- Atlantic, patted company,
in chace of the enemy ; of whom, we doubt not,
they would give a good account, unless the Ame-
ricans should have the heels of them.

We this morning received •Coruona Papers to
the 17th instant, from whiehwe, have made the
following extracts
FROM THE dORUNNA PAPERS OF AUGUST 14, 16,

AND 17. ;

SANTIAGO, AUG. 14.—The English head-quar-
ters remain in Cuellar, and it is not doubted but
that their cavalry are in Segovja Ao. Madrid is
the direction which both our army and-that of the
enemy is taking, it is presumed that they
will dispute its posseision with us. :It is be-
lieved that they 'Will risk, a. battle previous to
evacuating it, for which purpose they are, it is
said, concentrating and fortifying themselves.
From Castile we received very satisfactory ac-
counts by the last Post, particularly from. Valla-
dolid, and other places beyond- the Duero. We
now have the happiness of seeing our best allies,
and those most deserving of hberty from their un-
alterable and ardent patriotism, free from the ene
my, and our allies masters of both the important
banks and one of the bridges of the river Puero.
.CoRUNNA, AUG. 17.---Yesterdav -evening- arriv-
ed the post from Castile, with kti-frs' from that
province, &c. &c. tke. In general tbeintelligence
alley communicate is very favourable. Our troops
are advancing towards •Madrid, some by o*.way
and some by another, and by all ivays pursue and
attack the enemy. Acco-rdirig, to
,letters from
Pates; • Senor IYIRNDIZABEL was on the 24th in
Castro, pursuing the operations agreed upon.
Senor .Siiivrocimazs is doing-the same : from the
united operations we expect the most happy re-
.
oults in the-course of this m onth.' •
OvIEDO, AUG. S.—The last accounts are most
iatisfaatory-; the advance of Lord WELLINGTON :5
troops in pursuit of, MAamoNT's Army, -which,
according to accounts, has taken the direction of
LogranO; the evacuations of Santander and Torre
la Vega, •of which we have offiCial information
the expedition of Commodore Pc:imam, Who, in
combination with the troops belonging to the
Seventh Army, hag almost cleared the whole coast
of Cantabria from the enemy; the desertion of the
French soldiers who, wearied with their laborious
life, or convinced of the injustice of the war,
abandon their colours; the march fot SUCHET upon
Catalonia, where Gen. LACY threatens Tarrago-
na, and where au expedition of our Allies is

GisoN, AUG. 8.--The French have abaudmthl
Torre la Vega and Santander, without doubt, fear-
ing that their retreat would be cut off, as :LONG
had arrived in their neighbourhood with 2000
men, and expected more.
It is reported That MIN& has had a great action
in the neighbourhood 'of Vittoria, in which he
made 3600 prisoners ; but this news is not official.

Gibraltar Papers to the Ist inst. reached town
this morning. The news they contain is not Very
important ; 'Nve have extracted the following ar-
