AND DEAFNESS CURED!

By the most simple, delightfu,, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the inost
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
'oalance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R.S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eve Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the
" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with others of
the first respectability.

The Work which is now resented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
ti.t.s, which flr some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the a dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow front indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYNIA

DETENTION OF THE OUTWARD WEST
ItcntA MAIL.—On Saturday a notice was posted at the Gene-
ral Post-office, stating that the letters for the West India mail
will be in time till Tuesday (to-morrow), the lSth inst. Ac-
cording to regulation, Saturday should have been the last day
for the receipt of letters to be forwarded by this conveyance,
and the reason that this regulation has been departed from in
the present instance is in order that the next outward packet
may be the bearer of the news relative to the decision of the
House of Commons on the sugar question, and in which the
West India interest is so much concerned.

‘4 coNvEsviolv.
Whereas hrr Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, being desirous of putting an
end to the hostilities which still continue to be carried on
between Mexico and Texas, has offered her mediation to
the contending parties, with a view to bring about a paci-
fication between them ; and whereas the Republic of 7 eras
has accepted the mediation so offered; the Republic of Texas
and her Britannic Majesty's Government bate determined to
settle, by means of a convention, certain arrangements which
will beet:ne necessary in the event of such pacification being
effecti7l; and have for this purpo-e named as their plenipoten-
tiaries, that is to say, the republic of Texas General James
Hamilton, eec. ; and her Majesty the Queen of the United
Kingdom the Right Honourable Henry John Viscount Pal-
merston, Baron Temple, a Peer of Ireland, a Member of her
Britannic Majesty's Most Honourable Council, a Member of
Parliament, Knight of the Grand Cross of the Most Honour..
able Order of the Bath, and her Britannic Majesty's Principal
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ; who, after having
communteated to each other their respective full powers, found
in good order and due form, have agreed upon and concluded
the following articles :
_

" Art.. 1.• '1 he republic of Texas agrees that if by means of
the mediation of her Britannic Majesty an unlimited truce
shall be established between Mexico and Texas within thirty
days after this convention shall have been communicated to
the Mexican Government by her Britannic Majesty's mission
at Mexico. and if within six months alter that communica-
tion shall have been made Mexico shall have concluded a
trraty of peace with Texas, then and in such case the re-
public of Texas will take upon itself a portion, amounting
to one million pounds sterling, of the capital of the foreign
de' t contracted by the republic of Mexico before the Ist of
January, 1835.
" Art. 2. The manner in aqiich the capital of one million
pounds sterling or Inieign debt, mentioned in the preceding
artich shall be transferred from the Republic of Mexico
to the Republic of Texas, shall be settled hereafter by a
special agreement between the Republic of Texas and the
Republic of Mexico, under the mediation of her Britannic
Majesty.

‘: /tit. 3. The present Convention shall be ratified, and the
ratifications shall be exchanged at London, as soon as possible,
within the space of nine months from this date.
'• In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have
signed, and have affixed thereunto the seals of their arms.
Done at London, the 14th day of November, in the year of
our Lord, 1840.
(Signed) " PALMERSTON.
" HAMILTON."

" London, November 5, 1840.
"My Loan—As your communications in relation to the
proposed mediation of her Majesty's Government in procuring
a paoification between Texas and Mexico, and the assumption
by the former of a portion of the public debt of the latter have
hitherto been entirely verbal, I beg leave to transmit you this
despatch, that the reasons and motives which may influence
the Republic of Texas in making this assumption may not be
liable to any future misconstruction.
" In the first place I must enter a protestando against, the
inference that Texas is bound in any degree for any portion of
th,said debt on any principle of international law, or by any
oLliga!ion of private justice.
" Mexico violated the Charters she had granted to Austin's
colonists, on the faith of which the Anglo-Americans had emi-
gr,ted to Texas, end recovered its territory from the savage
tribes. with whom Mexico was incapable of coping. These
vio!a• ions were accompanied by atrocities which rather be-
longe.l to the dark ages than the era in which we live.
" Texas consummated her independence in 18336. In 1837,
after Alexico had lost all possession of and sovereignty over
Texas, she concluded a convention in London with the Mexi-
can bondholders, and assigned certain portions of her public
lands in several of bar provinces or departments. She was
guilty of the absurd mockery of including in this convention
those situated in the department of Texas, where she had nei-
ther a man nor a foot of land over which she exercised juris-
diction east of the Rio Grande.

" I need not insist (I am sure) with your Lordship on the
absolute nullity of this Convention, as far as Texas is con-
cerned. But what I desire to do is to do voluntarily, as a con-
cession to the benevolence and philanthropy of her Alajesty's
Government, which have induced you to come forward and
offer its intervention in producing a pacification between the
two countries honourable to both.

"If, therefore, Mexico will consent to a truce with Texas
within thirty days after the communication of any convention
we may conclude on the subject by her Majesty's Mini-ter at
her capital, and in six months after will conclude a treaty of
amity and commerce with Texas, which shall provide for a sa-
tisfactory and well-defined boundary between the two coun-
tries, I shall be quite willing to come under a stipulation that
Texas shall assume one million sterling of the public debt of
Mexico, contracted by Mexico prior to the year 1835, which is
precisely the sum the United States offered for the whole
country in 1830. The value it has acquired since has been
conferred on it by the enterprise, heroism, and intelligence of
the citizens of Texas themselves, and is a just and honourable
acquisition of their own. _

;‘ This I desire to be regarded as a voluntary caneession ;
for I conceive Texas no more bound to assume a portion of
the public debt of Mexico, than the thirteen American colonies
after they achieved their independence were bound to assume
a share of the national debt of Great Britain. Your Lordship,
however, in our conferences, has never pressed this as a matter
EgiEWISn trie-trairest,shn -,eskams
of her Majesty's subjects who have long suffered under the bad
faith of Mexico, and whom, under a just equivalent to the
citizens of Texas, I shall be gratified if they shall be instru-
mental in indemnifying.
" In conclusion, I have the honour to remain, with distin-
guished consideration and regard,
" Your Lordship's obedient servant,
"J. HAMILTON.
" The Right Hon. Lord Viscount Palmerston."
