TIIILE finest , system of Ethics is . to confine
IL within due bounds, and thus to regulate the Passions;
unrestrained and insubordinate they impetuously destroy
those barrieis Which Religion and Morality havemade sacred ;'
to curb but not annihilate. them appears the lesson of Pru-
dence, best calculated to limit their effervescence.
Everfasorganization of the huthan frame requires great
medical knowledge to remedy, and the public welfare ispro-
moted when Professional men (disregarding the suggstions
of the envious and interested) devote their studies to the
treatment of tito§e complaints generated by imprudence, and
tile ebullition 'of the passions at.au unguarded' moment.
" The strength of a nation consists in the health of the peo-
ple ;" hut it is melancholy to reflect on the daily sacrifice to
the ignorance of unfeeling empyricism; and to counteract as
far as possible its further ravages, we offer to suffering hu-
manity the result of our own experience in the various dis-
eases of -Debility. The unwt.ey victim of solitary vice, (early
acquired at school before Reason has asserted her right over
the mind,) will, in-contemplating his powerless state, become
susceptible of-enlivening sensations, in knowing that the
most complicated state of exhaustion may he. roused into
manly energy,—lntense study—iminoderate anxiety—long
residence in tropical dilutes, and tunny other causes, will
frequently derange the -Nervous System ; in such cases we
can hold out an assurance of re-animation, by remedies
which have long answered the, sanguine hopes of patients of
both sexes.
That bane to human happiness Lues Venerea, can sow he
treated fearlessly, the iwproved state of Medical Science hav-
ing divested its antidote of those distressing properties that
so long rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing.
We best explain out- method by observing to patients labour-
. big under this malady, that a few days only are required fur
the removal of early symptoms ; that the most inveterate
case will yield to our remedies within a month, and that in a
person who only suspects himself injured, the disease may
•he prevented altogether front appearing ;—a similar remark
!applies to many other derangements of the generative system,
'as weakness, ulcerations, '&c. especially strictsires, obslimite-
cases of which are dully removed without the use of caustic
'or stimulants. Sonic peculiarities incidental to the softer-
sex have not escaped our attention, in which mildness, coin-
billed with efficacy, lari superseded the means usually adopt-
ed.• In, fine, our system is unique, peculiarly energetic, and
eminently succesSful.
Educated in this our native city; schooled in our profes-
sional attainment by its splendid medical characters; and
having been able, personally, to compare with admiration the
British Surgical practice with the Continental, our preten-

GENERAL .ORDER.

HORSE-GUARDS, JULY 2 iTii, 1817..
• ,
'Wish a vieur; of establiskipg, an nniform system
of Riding through Out the Army, his

tress thei'lliNC.4ll.BGENT has beeo
.pleased LO..tii-
rect the establishment of a Riding School under
the superintendance and direct'.,-,n .of :Major
PE,Thas, to which Regiments will, in theirnirns,
be directed to send detachments, for the purpose
of receiving' instruction.
The Commander in. Chief desires to call the
particular attention of Officers in command of
Regiments of Cavalry to this most importdnt•
subject. It is inctimhent on them to select for
this ditty active intelligent young men, who are
not only calculated to receive instruction them-
.selves, but who are likly_ to become competent to
giveit tv others,•and to assist in establishing the,
,system in their respectiVe Regiments. It will be
-necessary that the Riding Master of each Regi-
ment should attend, and he- must come prepared
to lay aside all prejudices grounded' on habit and
previous fir:Attlee, and to adopt and to carry into
effect,- that system of Equitation, exclusively,
which has been, approved by his Royal Highness.
It will also be required, that one young Officer
of each Regiment shall be sent to the School, for
the purpose-of receiving instruction flout Major
i'eters, and acquiring that degree of knowledge
of horseman Ship which may render him a•useful
Assistant, tinder the direction of his Commanding

Officer. in the Riding School of his Regiment.
The Commander in Chief, at all .times when he
mayln,pect the Riding School, will expect, in the
first instance, all the Officers under instruction to
ride before him, and he takes this opportuHi'y of
..pptizing Officers in Command of Regiments of
Avalry, that, at all future impec,ions, the riding
of-the Officers will be made a special Article of
Report, and that the General Officer, making the
inspection, will be required himself to witness the
riding of each individual Officer, in order that he
way ascertain and he enabled to report what pro
gress is making in this most important branch of
Instruction, and to state, (ruin his own
Personal observation, whether there are any Of-
ficers, who, from a want of attention, or a want
of ability, have failed to attain that knowledge of
horsemanship, which is requisite for a due- per-
formance of their duty in the Field.

the undermentioned charges, viz.—

Ist. " For conduct disgraceful and unbecoming the cha-
racter of an Officer and a Gentlernan, in forcibly seeking the
presence of Deputy-Commissary-General Matthew D.O'Meara,
on or about the 7th of August, 1816; for the avowed purpose
of using provoking, opprobrious, and insulting language
towards him, in the presence of James Ludowick Grant, Esq.
and in using such provoking, opprobrious, and insulting lan-
guage, towards the said Matthew D. O'Meara, in the pre-
sence of the said James Ludowick Grant, Esq. and forcibly
preventing the departure of the said Matthew D. O'Meara
from the room in which such abusive language was uttered;
thereby provoking (after the greatest forbearance on the part
of the said Matthew D. 07Meara) personal chastisement;
and for consenting, on the suggestion of the said James Lit-
. dowick Grant, Esq. and subsequently proposing himself, to
pass over in sihince, and bury in oblivion this chastisement."
2d. " lu laying before the Officers of the 18th Hussars,
assenri!led at Boulogne, for the purpose of hearing Brevet
Lieutenant-Colonel Grant's Vindication of his Conduct, in
the affair above referred to, a false and partial statement of
that transaction ; and also for publishing and p:opagating to

ports, tending to the prejudice and d'oshonour of the said
Matthew D: O'Meara."
Upon which Charges the Court carne to the
following (lccisloll
" Tire Court having maturely weighed and considered the
eriderice adduced on the part of the prosecution, as well as
what has been offered in defence, are of opinion, that so much
of the First Charge has been proved, as imputes to Brevet
Lieutrnant-Colonel Giant, the " seeking the presence of Mr.
O'Meara," by .remaining in the room upon Mr. O'Meara's
entering it, notwithStanding Mr, J. L. Grant repeatedly re-
quested him to leave it, and the " using such provoking, op-
probrious, and irisulting..language towards Mr. O'Meara, in
the presence of Mr. J. L. eirant, and forcibly preventing the
departure of Mr. O'Meara from the room," so as to pr ovoke
Mr. O'Meara (after great forbearance on his part) to strike
him, which led to a personal Creetest between Brevet Lieute-
nant-Colonel Grant and Mr. O'Meara; but that Lieutenant-
Colonel Grant is nut Guilty of " consenting to, or proposing
to pass over in silence, and to bury in oblivion" the transec-
tion which had taken place, and they do fully Acquit him

On• the IMPROVEMENT of 'llse ROAD from

LONDON to POIVI-sAIOUI H.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—It assuredly reflects credit on the present
times to say, that no improvement submittd
the public, nor any recommendation grounded o:t
rational propriety, meets with neglect ; but 011
the contrary, is forwauled %rich a liberality 'and
feeling, that at once discovcrs .the age to be re=
plete with a willingness to support whatever is
really beneficial. It is unnecessary, and of course
would be absuid, to go into particulars to prove

the truth of the above assertions. General Edit-
Roads---,Conals—are immediately
betore our eyes, as a demonstration of the fact.
Pet wit me to submit to your Readers what an
pears to me deserving of public attention and
support—the line of Road front London to Ports-
mouth, front the Canital to the most interesting
Port in the Kingdom, front the Seat of Gov emu-
mem of a great Empire to its most aniinating !wet
useful Sea port it time of war, and to which :be
earliest mode of conveyance is needfult be great,
est possible dispatch, actpiently of the utmost
importance. No pains nor expense have beets
spitted to lessen the distance and improve the road
to Brighton, and six hours now is the extent of
the period anecessary fur the journey, merely ant
agreeable ride.
To Pottsmonth, the efforts and- improvements
have hitherto been confined to the in oprietors of
coaches, who, much. to their credit, have nom
rendered it a journey of ten hours ; and on coin-
ing down recently in that time, with a careful,
steady, and intelligent driver, he pointed out
clearly.the possibility of reduCing the line of road
nearly eight miles, and of making great improve-
ments, by a little attention and expense, so as to
render it a journey of eight hours Only. •Froth
London to Guildford not a 'pickaxe or spade is
wanting to,render it better; but proceeding on
wards, we find much to be done over Hind-head,
and altering the course round the Devil's Punch
Bowl to 'an almost straight line, and avoiding the
heavy, hills ; ',again, from Petersfield over that ',le,
turesoue scenery the Smith Downs, which I call
Little Switierland,a judicious &Iteration may be
made, by RETURNING to the Old Road again, and
lessening the poll up Butcher-hill at least one,
fourth of a mile ; and bow it came to be altered
is not now to• be conceived, when the hill might
have been reduced at about one half the expense.
Materials are on the spot at every place, or neatly-
so ; labourers, front the neighbourhood may be
obtained in this dearth of employment; and it i
presume to state, on this general idea now sub-
,mitted, that 400 men, at one shilling per day
each, would in two years perform the business, I
think I speak with tolerable precision.--South SLo
Common, near Portsmouth, as a Watering-place,
is not inftnior to any on the South Coast of Eng..
land, I will so take leave to say--,for I have seen
all. -There, are about teen' y machines, scitti
careful assistants ; a reading-room on the beach,
with hot baths, and a promenade not to he excel-
led, lor the promotion of health or for prospect,
in the kingdom. South Sea Common is to walk
on a carpet ; the ex!ent is sufficient for the most
robust to enjoy ; and the view of the Isle of
Wight to il:e right, and an unbounded expanse ~f
ocean- to the eye in !root, hi,shly gratifying ; and
,
l'eace has rendered the place almost a retreat
(fire it is Tree front bustle or any kind of confu.
sion), the cleanliness of the streets, and the cheap,
Bess of all the artides of life, rendei-it as agree-,
able a spot for lecrearion to the man of business
and his family, or to the country gentleman who
may desire a periodical chaoge.of place, as cats
possibly be*desired. I alit, Sir,
