Hoisiotravai St a,
JBEG- leave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lucs Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the mast inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
my disorder had got. to such a head, as nearly to put a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
on e aa each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also
two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, -and gave
me such excruciating pain, pa-rticularly when warm in t•ed,
as n early to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I
was recomrrowded by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so
great a cure by them herr), to take Votir Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the 4fitli is. May; in the course of a
fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed--
soon after, the sores ms my legs healed also ; leaving, how.
ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
hone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, an a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided;
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains grads ally going thus became, by
yo.,:r liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my
former complaints—have recovered my former
spirits a nd
strength, and pip become jolly and fat, in which state liariag
continued malty months, to the astonishment of all who knew
we, I an at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but
beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my ease as public as possible, as I shall on every occa•
sion ; in so doing you will I,;reatly
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,

ADDITIONAL ARTICLE; TO THE CONVENTION
BETWEEN HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY AND HIS
_MOST FAITHFUL MAJESTY, SIGNED IN LON-
DON, ON THE 28'ut OF JULY. 1817.
His Majesty the King of the United Kidgdom of Great
Britain and Ireland. and his Majeity the King of the
United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and algraves, wish-
ing to remove every obstacle to the faithful execution of
the convention signed in London by their respective
thspeectipvteupPolsee-
nipotentiaries, on the 211th of July, 1817, for
of
_preventing their subjects from engaging in any illicit
traffic in slaves ; and seeing the necessity of adding, to
that intent, certain articles to the said convention, have,
for this purpose, named their Plenipotentiaries, that is to
say Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, Edward Michael Ward, Esq.,
his Charge d'Affairs at the Court of Lisbon ; and his Ma-
jesty the King of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and
Algarves' Joze Bazilio Rademaker' Knight Professed in the
Order of Christ, and Chief Clerk of the Department of State
for Foreign Affairs : —who, after having exchanged their re-
spective full powers, found to be in good and due form, have
agreed upon the following articles.
.Article I.—Whereas it is stated, in the first article of
the instructions intended for the British and Portuguese
ships of war, employed to prevent the illicit traffic in
slaves, that " ships on board of which no slaves shall be
found, intended for purposes of traffic, shall not be detain-
ed on any account or pretence whatever :" and whereas it
has been found, by experience, that vessels employed in the
illegal traffic have put their slaves momentarily on shore, im-
mediately prior to their being visited by ships of war, and that
such vessels have thus found means to evade forfeiture, and
have been enabled to pursue their unlawful course with im-
punity, contrary to the true object and spirit of the Convention
of the 28th of July, 1817 ; the two high contracting parties,
therefore, feel it necessary to declare, and it is hereby declared
by them, that, if there shall be clear and undeniable proof that
a slave or slaves, of either sex, has or have been put on board
a vessel for the purpose of illegal traffic, in the particular
voyage on which the vessel be captured, then and on that ac-
count, according to the true intent anti meanijig of the stipu-
lations of the above-mentioned convention, such vessel shall
he detained by the cruizers,. and finally condemned by the
Commissioners.

Article 2.—lnasmuch as the Convention of the 28th of July,
1817, does not stipulate the mode of supplying the absence of
the Commissioners, occurring from any other cause besides
that of death, which is the only case provided by the fourteenth
Article of the Regulations for the :!'fixed Commissions, annex-
ed to the said Convention; the two high contracting parties
have agreed, that, in the event of the recal, or of the absence
on account of illness, or any other unavoidable cause, or any
of the Commissioners, Judges, or Arbitrators ; or in the case
of their absence in consequence of leave from their Govern-
ment, (which must be notified to the respective Commission),
their posts shall be supplied in the same form and manner as is
determined for the case of death, by the above-mentioned 14th
Article of the said Regulation.
These additional Articles shall have the same force and effect
as if they were inserted, word for word, in the said Convention,
and shall, be considered as forming part ofthe same: they shall
be ratified, and the ratifications thereof exchanged in Lisbon,
within three months at latest, after the date of their signature.
In witness thereof the undersigned, being furnished with full
powers to that effect, have signed these Articles, and affixed
thereunto the seals of their arms.
