" T. Laboured under Rheumatism for mafiy Years
three years ago it obliged me. to desist front my occu-
pation. I tried the remedies of -Medical Men for a consider-
able time; they were without the proposed erfeet. The pain
afleeted violently my back, loins, thighs, and right arm, so
that I became Helpless. In this sad state three months more
elapsed tryn.g the presaiptiAls of the Faculty, when I pro-
cured a. bottle of Spilsbury's Antiscorbutic Drops. I_ Ivo-
vered so much (being in low circumstances) I applied to you
for a bottle • you were pleased to answer by sending me a
large doe, r the favour of which I have the pleasure to in-
form you, under the blessing of Heaven, I have been restored
these two years past, without any relapse whatever, to' health,
strength, and employment. Should it be necessary, 1 ain
willing more solemnly to attest this.

A/EY Son was seized on 22d June last, with a
kVA Swelling in one of his Legs, which I thought pro-
ceeded from a Sprain, but the next day
.the other Swelled
also, and red spots came out all ,ovor his body, which was
attended with a violent sickness and. excruciating pains, so
that he could keep nothing on his stomach. An eminent
Apothecary and Physician were called in, and notwithstand-
all their endeavours, my Son continued in the most agonizing
torture for six weeks, during which the warm , bath was
tried above three hundred times, which ,in some degtee alle-
viated the pains, but the relief was wily momentary, and my
Son betame a perfed skeleton, his back-bone appeared con-
traded and coming through the skin. It was lamentable to
hear his dismal groans; one night he sent for me and told,
me he found himself dying: I parted with him, not expect-
ing he could live out the night, but in the morning hearing
his groans, I approached his room, and found him, it possi-
ble, worse than I had left him. At this time I was happily
recommended to make trial of your Cning's Patent Worm
Lozenges, and on giving him the first dose, lie was imme-
diately freed from pains, and voided 'a great quantity of filth,
resembling Worms in a putrid state. 1 gave him a ii.cond
dose, agreeable to the printed Direelions, which had a similar
eiled, and on administering a third dose, he voided a quantity
of slimy green matter, and from.that time he has had no re-
turn of his complaint whatever, but is now. in a perfed
state of health. The Clergyman of my -Parish, and all my
Neighbours, are ready so givqtestimony to these facts.

Your very grateful humbe Servant,

IT was natural to expert that the large Minority
upon the discussion of Mr. Pire's Defence Bill, on
Friday night, would be received with an air of tri.
umph by his adversaries, and be hailed by them as
a sure prognostic that lie would soon be obliged to
give up the reins of Power, and make way for their
own Party. If these men can be gratified by such delu-
sive expeaations, it would be a pity to deprive
them of their airy banquet. We, however, are.
confident that the premises will by no means war-
rant such a conclusion, for the amount of the Mino=
rity, as we hive before observed, admits of an
explanation very different from that which implies
a likelihood that the Country is in the least danger
of being deprived of Mr. PITT'S official exertions.
The friends of Mr. YORK'S, no doubt, felt them.
selves bound to oppose a measure which differed
from one brought forward by that Gentleman, be.
cause they had supported the latter before. But
though, for the sake of consistency, they might
think themselves obliged to oppose a single mea.
sure brought forward by Mr. PITT, it would be
absurd to infer that they will be- hostile, to his
Administration in general. Besides, the late
Minister took an aaive part in oppoSitiOn to Mr.
Pr-r-r's 8111, and he too ,may be supposed to
retain some of his former friends, upon a particular
occasion. That M. Pr rr's proposed measure is the
best that has yet been devised altogether, admits of
no doubt, and if the objectitms of all who dissent
from it, are not wholly obviated in a Committee,
yet they will probably be so much softened by
future modifications, that the' measure may hereafter
expetted to pass with such a majority as becomes
the character and constitutional influence of the
greatest and most disinterested Minister that this
Country ever possessed.

It is curious to observe the very sudden change
which has taken place in the language of the Oppo-
sition Papers respeaing this Bill. When it was
first introduced, it was acknowledged " that many
of the objectionable parts of Mr. PITT 'S former
Plan were omitted, but still there was ground for
much discussion." In four days after, this very
Bill is represented as " nugatory, impraCticable,
frivolous, and vexatious ;" and it is said that
" there never was a question in which all the
argument was so completely on one side." With-
out attempting to argue with those whose opinions
are formed upon prejudice, and not upon reasoning,
we may venture to observe, that it is- impossible
to say before-hand that the proposed Plan for
raising men by the Parishes will fail altogether;
.on the contrary, there is every reason to expea
that if it does not succeed to the full extent,
that it certainly would produce a great number
of Men; and, in the mean time, there is nothing
in the Bill to prevent the ordinary Recruiting from
going on. But even if it should fail altogether,
it cannot produce any bad consequence, and the
Army will in that case be increased in the way con-
tended for by Mr. Fox and Mr. WINDHAM, viz.
by the regular mode of Recruiting. If, therefore, the
Plan pr6posed should fully succeed, the Army will
be completed; if it should only succeed partially,
it will assist the Recruiting Service; and even if it
should fail altogether, it will not impede it.

THE length of the Parliamentary Proceedings
list Week prevented us from offering any comments
upon the proceedings in the Criminal Tribundl of
P.itis against the persons accused of having con-
spired against the life of the FIR9T, CONSUL.—
Though a mind accustomed to' the just and hu.

Justice, and tri the strict rules by

r s
which evt-
dence is a itai tied, cannot very easily rec°ll-
vile itself to the prat-Ike in the French Cri°-
nal Courts, of receiving surmise, rumour, and heat.
say evidence as proof's of the guilt of the pet's°
cused ; yet there appears, if the evidence given he
not all fabricated, sufficient reason to believe that
MottEAu was, .if not a Leader in the plan that Vv33
t I carrying on,
a -east.Perfeetly well acquainted with
it ; and if from habitual pradence he did not cruse 10
embark decidedly in the plot, yet he was anxions' that
BONAPARTE should hz deprived of that enormous
and arbitrary power which he had assumed.
certainly is sufficient to constitute his guilt in 1114
eyes of BONAPARTE, and will no doubt lead to his
condemnation. The truth of the proposition, that
Treason is not Treason if it succeeds, has been veil
strongly verified in France lately : ,BortArAtell
conspired against the Diretftory, succeeded, and was
made an Emperor : MOREAU conspired against
BONAPARTE, failed, and will be condemned co
death. It seems, however, generally to he-sq;
posed, that the new Emperor having succeed
er
in humbling the power, and degrading the chataelo
of his once formidable rival, will condescend r
pardon him, not certainly from motives of clemenci'
but of policy. If MORE AU were to be Pu: t,
executed, it might revive that admiration ac
u at,
tachment which was once felt foi him by the
not
of France; but though a public execution might
be expedient, yet the Corsican will never want
means to get rid of an Enemy, whose name, though
degraded, is still formidable.
