Si R --I believe Hickman's Pills to be the best Medicine
ever known for curing the Gravel, therefore I have taken the
opportunity to recommend theta. Two Boxes and a half
have cured me, so that I have not found it necessary to take
more ; and, although 1 have suffered .greatly from that dis-

We regret that we have not had an opportunity of
instrting the series .of Le6tures 'which Mr. DAvt
has delivered.at this place, as his discoveries areirtf.
portant in themselves, -and rioriveyed in clear- and
elegant language. On Saturday he gave a :wailer
develupement of the agency of the:electrical energy
of the Voltaic Pile. All bodies that are-differently
expansible by heat art 'decomposed by its Energy._
This was shewn in a variety of experments with
a series or two thousand plates. A glass.globe was
filled. with suiphurated hydrogen gas, and exposed
to its action ; a tuost" brilliant light was prodUced,
and the' sulphur was deposited on the sides of the
vessels. Iron pyrites was instantly decomposed by
it, and also a variety of fluid and solid snbtances.
Mr. Davy observed, that it had been lately asserted,
that charcoahhad been fused and converted into dia-
mond; this he believed was mis..atea t-le had
fused, charcoal by the Volatic Pile, and obtained
.a
substance so hard that it would scratch glass ; but
it differed in many of its properties front a'dia-
mond, and remained a conductor of electricity. Two
points of hard chatcoat were brought nearly into
contad in a•vessel of chlorine (or oxyinuriatic) gas
(which has no aEtion tapon charcoal). Mr. Davy
said, when they wete acted upon by the pile, pro-
bably they•might be fused by it,. brut they were 'en-,
tirely reduced to vapour at the end Of the experi-
ments. • He‘observed, that a Voltaic Pile might be
constructed with plates of one metal only„ by tntei-
posing different fluids, for which it had .a strong
chemical attraction, separating them by a cloth
moistened with pure water. Tims, one plate of
copper, a Cloth moistened with a solution of sul-
phuret of lime, then a cloth moistened by water, oh,
which is to be.laid another cloth steeped in nitrous
acid, and on this a second plate of co;"per, until a
series 01 fifty plates is accumulated, will give a per-
ceptible shock.
Mr. Davy observed, that his opinions. respeCting
cheMical and electrical agency had sometimes been
inaccurately stated he was 'ThC:iiied to. consider
them as the •same power ,acting on matter in the
mass in one instance, and on its particles in the
other. Bodies that have a strong chemical artrac..
lion for each other are in different states of elettri.
city or polarity. It is found,, however, that title
.powerful chemical attraCtion may be counteracted
by changing the electrical polarity of different sub-
stances. By this means an acid May pass unchang-
ed through an alk time solution, and an alkaline so-
lution may pass equally unchanged through an acid.
Mr. Davy stated Use circumstances which induced
him to wake those exPerittents that led to tile dis-
covery of the metallic nature of alkalies and -earths.
He observed, that without the discovery of the vol-
taic pile, chemistry must have been at a stand. It
furnishes us with the Most powerful instrument of
chetnical decumphiition that has ever been invented,
the heat produced by it exceeding that whirar cal:
be produced by any other means ; and it vtas not
improbable, .he added, that in the pi-ogress wi,ich
science would make,- sane Means wouht be (Eget,-
veted of applying. it tothe useful arts. Nor di:l he
think it unreason3'&e to believe, that at t fi.i3l elec-
tricity on a large scale, might also be employ( d to
- Many valuable put poses: Mr. Davy took a iap
• view of the scient-:tie discoveries-which had served
to increase the power of man ; and, he concluded

the future advantages oe, ITI6V exiect to derive'

PALEADIO, JAN. 28.

" I have much pleasure: in saying that affairs are
a.lj-sted !o the saiisfa6tion of our Goveininent.—
Lord W. BE.NTINCK has been indefatigable in this
tedious affair. The banished Princes are recalled ;
the Espoir sailed last night to bring them. Lord
WM. BiNTINCIt is to have the disposal of the
Sicilian army, .and a seat in Council, The Heredi-

Lary Prince is appointed Lieutenant General, and is

to command all their forces. This place is to be
, garrisoned by British troops. The Achille is now
at Metatzo, waiting to bring them here. The ad-
ditional tax levied on our mercantile goods is abo-
lished.

"In the event of this Government not having
yietled, we had .8000 troops ready to embark at
Melatzo, anti by what I could see and learn, the
Sicilians in general would have joined us. The
Queen's influence is now over; as to the King, he
tares nothing about State affairs. • The Prince of
BELMONTE and another of the banished Princes are
to have leading situations."

We this morning received Cadiz Papers, from
•
which have made following ex•rads

OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM LORD IiFELLINGTON TO
HIS EXCELLENCY HENRY 'WELLESLEY, HIS BRI-
TANNIC MAJESTY'S AN! ASSADOK AT CADIZ.

" I have the honour tb transmit; by Brigadier
ALAVA, a copy of ray Dispatch to the Secretary of
State, giving an account of the taking of Ciudad
Rodrigo. Brigadier ALAVA, who was with me
during these operations, will Le able to add any de-
tails which I may have omitted. h entreat your
Excellency to inform the Spanisheitsvernmeitt, how
much I am indebted to this Officer, Marshal C. Dli
ESPANOL, and' Don J. SANcaes-, for the fortu-
nate result
,of this operation. The inhabitants
of Castile on this, and all other occasions, when
I have had any communication with them, have
shewo their detestation of the French yoke, and
their wish to contribute, 'by allthe means in their
power, to the route of the enemy. I have delivered
up tilt. place, with all it contains, to Captain-Gene-
ral CASTANOS, who is in this part of the country.
" P. S. I likewise inclose copies of my D.s.
patches of -the 15th instant, and this date, to the
Secretary of State."

We have received the following extra& of a letter
from one of the must enlightened, patriotic, and re-
spectable characters in America, . dated the 4th ult.
• and we may venture to say, that the sentiments and
opinions which it expresses are the same in every
person in that Country who knows how to appre-
ciate its interests, and is anxious to promote them.
The relations, between your Government and
ours, are of a' complexion to confound the calcu-
lations of the wise, to vex the spirit of the upright,
arid-to baffle the efforts of the honest. and. Indus-
trious. Our democratic Administration, inoculated
• with the Jefferson mania, has contrived to impress
on the American character abroadt disgrace, and 0 •
con-
tempt, and On the nation at home' one wide-spread
scene of distress. The nation is almost beggared
and.uadone. Our Wreasury empty, our specie flying
aimed, our seamen scattered, our ships rotting, our
produce a drug, our merchants bankrupts, our trades-
men drivelling kir a precarions subsisience.—l shod-
der at the, prospect of what is before us. Instead 'of
that open, manly, impartial and resolute nturrality,
instituted and maintained at the cannon's mouth by
the immortal WASHINGTON, we have a system of
sly' intriguing policy ; of measures insidiously in-
'solved, shifted wand shuffled, according as a battle
in Europe is gained or lost a double-deal-
ing diplomacy, full of Manoeuvres and dilatory ex-
pedients to serve from three months to three mouths
—just to keep up the popularity of our Rulers, and
to secure their interests at our often-recurring Elec-
tions.* To what end we shall at last be led, G9O,
who lengthens out the chain of the Tyrant of Europe,
and lets loose the dark Spirits which brood over our
tlestiriles, alone can tell. is it our only consolation,
that we are in his hands, and that be can, when he
pleases, make " the wrath of man to praisC him,"

restrain t

le rest. The great struggle you are
making to save tht- fronn, the. fangs of. the-
Niainser, cannot but
.be.at:ended with the hearly
good, wishe's of every friend to'hurnanity and the in-
d,:yetidence, of. nations. If Spaniards would- be
true to themselves, and Lanish their vile jeolousy and
st-if-sufficiency, and discard from their Couneils‘their
ignor:mt qrandees,_aod adOpt in their sten(' the true
men of talents and spt, it, I should hope very
guiuely for then sUcce6s.
_But it is to be feared
tow. they will fail, at last, from those jarring coun-
cils, insufficient measures, and incompetent leaders,
io whom the oat rut; senerns.to be cornrnitted." Such,

wene':ieve, is the.view in which every man of sense
and, true patrioti.nm in Aim-Ilea beholds the con-
duct of its GiNerntnent, and that of this country.--
We are glad to find, that the grounds of tar with
which the Author regards the state of 4pain, are, in
a great degree, altered by the late Changes in the
Go►:ernmtut of that country, but we insert the
whole paitiage, that the Spanish Rulers may know
the opinions ,of those, who, by judgment, and by
distance, are able to relied and decide, without
partiality.

* What wit the'Buiz DETT 'TES sliy to this ?

The following statement appeared in the Morning
Chronicle of this day : •
" We have this day to announce to our readers
a most curious resolution agreed to by the Ministers
of the PRINCE REGENT, and• which, after all that
has recently happened, will be received by the
public with no little -.surprise. We understand
it is resolved, 'that the Roman Catholic claims-
shall no longer be treated of or discussed in the
Cabinet ; but every Member is to be left to ael
on them as he pleases,' without consulting with
Ins Colleagues, or regarding the repeal or refusal as a
Measure of Govermnpnt. The. course wiiich Mr.
PITT pursued on the question of the Slave Trade
• is to be the course to be taken, on this, though
.they arc so materially different in their charac-
ter. The Slave 'Trade was a question of Na-
tional morality, and of . Christian feeling, but it
was not a matter Of vital impOrtance either to,the se-
curity of the State, or the existeoce.of the Establish-
ed Church. The repeal of the disabilities-on the
Roman C... eolics of Ireland is on pith sides declared
obe of vital odportance. And both Lords .11EY
and GRENVILLS on 0,,e side, and Mr. PERCEVAL on
the other, have m ide solemn declarations to that
effect. It was the sine qua non in the formation of •
a new Ministry—hut the moment that 'that job- is
served, it eeases.to be of any importance, as a 772i-
nisteria1 question.• Mr. PEItCEVAL gives up the
high church parry as a .Minis ter, and proieises them
his support only as a man'
The above statement is inaccurate; no alteration
has taken place, we believe, in the sentiments of
Government upon this subjeCt ; .but it is true that
the question is to be'considered as an open one to
those whir may. take a share in the Administration,
and who have heretofore pledged themselves to a
necessity of the repeal of the remaining laws in
force against the Roman Catholics. The Govern-
ment certainly do not think. it right to
.refuse the
assistance of any person in office who may agree
with them upon their general system of policy,
merely because he may differ from them in opinion
upon the Catholic question." To this extente there-
fore, and no further, the_question,is to be consider-
ed as an open one.

WiNnsort; FEB. 23.—The Queen's Council did
not meet lx,terday.

Earl WIN'CHELSi:A arrived here on Friday, and

The Princess CHARLOTTE of
_Nriarip made ,her
entrance into public life; tor the first time, OD Sa-
turday last, at the• King's Theatre. dined
with the .Duclie-s of YOLIK, 'i,i-ho-accompanietkt.er

more serious interest. The audience' appeared ro

and pleasure.

Some more American Papers were received on
Saturday. The Indians haVe commenced hostilities
against the Uniteci States in various parts. A body
of 400 had encamped at the mouth of Cumbedand
River, on the north of the Ohici, and had taken and
destroyed thirteen flat-bottomed boats, and kilted
every man on board, excepting two. Troops wet e
assembling under the command of Colonel Cooke,
of. Tenesse, to attack them. it was also rumoured,
that the Cherokees had driven in the troops em-
ployed in cutting the roads in the southern partfrof
the Mississippi territory, and that thirteen of the
soldiers were slain in the conflitt. The allies of the
Wabash Indians had applied.for peace to Governor
HARRISON; who required, as a pretiMinary to the,
negociation, that the Prophet and his principal fol-
lowers, should be delivered up—a request, whiCh,
it was believed, would be complied wttli.
A letter from a distinguished Officer in our army,
dated Fuentes d'Onore, 26th ult. says, " NlsamoNT
was at Salanianca when we took Ciudad Rodrigo.—
Finding he was too late, and that' to tight us oiler
we had got it might make bad worse, he retired
again 'to Valladolid. We shall remain here a few.
days, to ascertain that he is too far off to return
again, and our division will then ,rnarch-,off to

proceeded into the work-shop, and deniolislied five
warp lace frames, which were employed in making
two-course-hok net : they were all very valuable
frames, and 1;:ie of 'them was 79 inches vk ide; and.
what is worthy of remark, Mr. Harvey had, a short
