nerate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu-
tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable
state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that
betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys-
tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu-
arity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im-
potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not
confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has
received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un-
prolific frame ; the delicate female whom an immured and in-
active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other
weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers,
brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive
habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un-
timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men
or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative.
Old coughs, a;thmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved,
and speedily cures. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will,
ere long, meet the happiest change the chill, watery fluid will
oecome rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh,
firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis-
orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended
to those who, from theirregularities of youthful age, habits of
studious application, a life of pleasure, have fallen into a
despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp-
toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons ,the
mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to
them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with
domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

POST.—We understand from a gentleman lately ar-
rived in London from the Pacific, that her Mdkst y's Con-
sul-General for Pcru, Mr. Belford H. Wilson, is daily
expected in England. He was to come by the way of
Chili, the Pampas, and Buenos Ayres, and it is faid that
be will bring with him most valuable statistical informa-
tion respecting Peru. The revenue of that Republic is
found to be much more flourishing than had been sup-
posed, and it is in consequence intended, on an early
day, to call the attention of the Committee of Spanish
American bondholders to the subject. It is considered
that a demand should be officially made to the Executive
at Lima of an appropriation of a fixed proportion of the
customs to the payment of the foreign dividends, as has
been successfully done in the case of Mexico.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY.
(From the- 7%nles-.) .
By all eeetinnti, private as well as public, the situation
of testis Philippe. if not a precarious one, must be. in no
small degree, paid@ and tormenting. The world has
hardly ever witnessed a mass of intrigues more complex
and embarrassing, or one from-which all pretence, even of
generous motives, or patriotic spirit, was by common con-
nivance so utterly and universally banished. We do not
wonder that men, in a country where the true nature of
representative government is to this hour a scaled book,
should be driven about item pillar to post, and for want
of some fixed standard of political honour and obligation
round which to rally, should be caught by every personal
temptation that offers, and carried away in chase of every
speculative opportunity which the chaos of unforeseen
events, and of passions unrestrained by a sense of right,
may give birth to ; but what we think not a little remark-
able is, that no party of Frenchmen, and scarcely any
single Frenchman, should yet have worked out, from the
reflecting powers of their own minds, the fact that it
would be useful to their country and to themselves
to recognize some one fixed principle of political
action for their guidance, instead of always hanging
upon fortune to furnish them with ends as, well as
instruments. We know that there are those who call
themselves republicans, that there arc idolators of a sys-
tem of aggressive war, and approvers for the present of
some sort of monarchy, to be found in France ; but how
many of these are attached in reality to--the principle of
the political or military system which they call for? Is
there among the republicans any higher motive than that
of revengeful faction—or among the hods' of war any
nobler impulse than the desire of promotion or of plunder
—or among the friends of so-called monarchy, aught else
than a prejudice in favour of the elder branch of the Bour-
bons on one side. and of this- Orleans branch as contradis-
tinguished from them on the other ? The struggles of in-
trigue at this moment in progress among the Irairtsian can-
didates base official power, and nothing else, for their ob-
ject. Test them by any other purpose, and they are
inexplicable. By that, and you have a certain clue.
Look at M. Thiers and his implacable animosity
towards the Guizot ' Ministry. - What end - but to
force himself into office can stimulate that firebrand poli-
tician, if indeed he may not, as he is Remised 'Of doing,
meditate office as his means to a further end, in which the
Orleans dynasty has a deeper concern than we here deem •
it necessary to point out? What does M. Mole look for
through his apparently passive but watchful and pene-
trating operations ? A tenure -of office which might be
durable. The ground of French faction is hollow every,.
where—all is ruined end countermined. The pressure
from without upon M. Guizot is very formidable, and may
be measured by the width of his actual deviation from
the laws of his own declared and spontaneous policy.
Be has announced himself as the Minister of present
peace, and as the advocate of 'peace " over the world,
and for ever." Yet, look at his measures, and what
arc .they ? A preparation of military armaments more
extensive, rand ot themselvs., considered. lappet foam-the-
hand which wields them, more threatening to the peace
of Europe than those which M. Thiers himself desig-
nated by the name of an "armed peace." Marshal Soult
proclaims the army as now on foot to exceed by many
uayunets the amount to which M. Thiers demanded it
should be raised. M. Thiers had in prospect half a
million of soldiers—M. Guizot has actually, standing under
arms, 520,000 men I And these, it would seem, are to
be still augmented; the annual recruitment being fixed at
80,000 men, the present supply being no more than
40,000. The French marine receives an equally formid-
aide inereAse. The Minister of Marine declares that he
will have 45,000 seamen, &c., afloat, and a reserve
of 20,000, in the course of a very few months.
And wby is all this ? No continental Power, 'or
combination of Powers, m'naces the French terri-
tory. Great Britain, every man in France must
know, dreams not of an attack upon her ultra-
marine possessions; why, then, we repeat, such pal-
pable preparations for war—for war by sea and land ?It
is all very well to illy that Louis Philippe and M. Guizot
can moan no harm. It is understood that they have sent
civil assurances on the' subject to England and her conti-
nental Allies. Assurericea in reply to what ?—to strong,
earnest, repeated remonstrances addressed to the Govern-
ment of Louis Philippe on the vast amount of his warlike
preparations, and on the expediency of tranquillizing, by
their discontinuance, the just apprehensions of Europe.
The reply has been a polite but peremptory refusal. The
French Government follows up the Thiers' policy of an
armed peace, and fills to overflowing the large measure of
preparation threatened by M. Thiers with Messrs. Remusat
and Jaubert. Under these circumstances, is it extraordinary
that Lord Palmerston should have availed himself of a
technical excuse, however flimsy and indefensible, 113 a
cloak for his suppression of even the name of France in
the " concealment" Speech delivered from the Throne last
Tuesday ? Lord Palmerston could not, without exposure
to all the Governments of Eueope, have alluded to France
as a friend ; and as an enemy expectant he durst not. But
ought the people of England to be satisfied with a merely
argumentative insight into the relations existing between
them and their French neighbours ? Ought we to have
eo other authority for our belief upon that vital subject
than a conjecture founded on an omission in the Queen's
Speech ? Will not Lord Palmerston indicate to us, or
is he still afraid to do so, whether the negotiations with
France respecting her mighty armaments are of a
nature or in a train to compose the natural disturb-
ance which they have occasioned? England, according 10
actual appearances, has strong facts to go upon, as
grounds of deep alarm for the deigns of France in her
unrelaxing and unceasing preparations ; and she has no
set-off to guarantee her safety but certain vague pro-
mises of peaceful disposition on the part of M. Guizot
and King Louis Philippe, whose own Court Journal, the
Journal des Debals, has of late, as the spring approaches,
been more warlike in spirit, although measured in its words.
The Continental Powers, when they we all France, as we
are assured she is, a camp, and more than half a mil-
lion of men already mustered, and told off in their re-
spective regiments—the Powers of Continmital Europe,
we say, cannot fail to look with extreme jealousy and ap-
prehension upon such an immense movement towards a
state of actual war. They harbour no designs against
France ; but they heard from the lips of the late
French Prime Minister, that France does look to a
reconquest of Belgium and of the Prussian provinces west-
ward of the Rhine, and therefore they say to France,
Give us acts, not words. Disarm, or you will force us,
and have already forced us, to arm—either to repel, or to
anticipate aggression." Germany therefore has made, and
is making, as she must do, effective military preparations.
But, good God ! is this a state of things to be contemplated
without awe and grief? Arc we to see armed men by mil-
lions arrayed against each other, and waiting but the signal
to fall on ? How long can this possibly endure without
hostilities? Will two game cocks eye each other and part
without a battle? We call upon Lord Palmerston to tell
the country what she has to expect. It is barbarous and
I wicked to leave England in the dark as to her destiny, or
to leave that destiny at the will of France.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
It has been too readily taken for granted that the farmers
are everywhere in favour of the Corn-laws. The landlords
wish it to be believed that the tenants are merely their
own double. The farmers, however, have, like other
people, profited by experience. They find that the land-
lords avail themselves of the Corn-law to demand rents
calculated according to prices which no law can always
sustain, and that in years when, from an abundant harvest
and other causes, prices are low, they must, notwithstand.
ing, pay the rents out of their capitals. Mr. Alcock seems
to have been aware that tenants have often very different
views on the subject of Corn.laws from those which their
landlords attribute to them; for on Saturday last, the
market day at Croydon, he addressed a large meeting in
the Town hall of that place, boldly advocating a repeal of
the Corn-laws ?—" They knew," he said, " that all his for.
tune was derived from the land, and how could itbe supposed
that he would support such principles as were calcu-
lated to ruin himself in common with the rest ? What he
wished to do away with was those ruinous fluctuations
which at one time raised corn to a famine price, and at
another depressed it to such an extent that the farmers
were ruined." The reception of Mr. Alcock was flatter-
ing in the extreme. The prophecies of the Tories that he
durst not present himself before the farmers as an advocate
of Corn-law repeal were completely falsified. The reso-
lutions approving of him were carried unanimously. This
looks well. Mr. Alcock has yet had no cause to repent
of the frankness with which ha has expressed hiss senAt
ti-
ments on the Corn.laws and other important questions.
Croydon, a great weekly market, if any where, lie would
have experienced opposition, if his opinions on the Corn•
laws had been unpalateable to the farmers. Whatever
