A CHALLENGE.

VI/ ESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in
hi's Mjesty't service, challenge the ►vliole world id
wore a single instance where their medicine and method of
cure have tailed or the desired elied. The practice of many
years in this particular 'branch of their profession, has not
given rise to one uzlsuccessful ease.

They continue to Itired their studies to the tivatment and
cure of venereal complaints, and that derangement of the sys.
tem, which is the consequence of the pemicious and wasteful
etteds of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
youth of both sexes. I n'the one it will• be fbund to be the
unfailing son rce of barrenness; the other have its ravages fa-
tally' develOped to them by a distresiing state of debility,
Which, it not timely remedied, terminates in -impotence.
These are its 'remote and ultimate e*ds, while consump-
tion, loss of muscular power, and various nervous coniplain •t,
usually charaderise the earlier stages of this solitary vice.
Of persons languishing- umier the disorders incident to such a
habit,, their treatment is simple, and has never proved unsuc-
cessful in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended
,practice. ' in the most obstinate and complicated cases of ve-
nereal infedion, such as •obstruelions in the urethra, spongy
excrescences, hard tumors, callous ulcers, eruptions, semi-
nal weakness, Meets, as also

- •
STRICTURES,
Whether recent or of long 'duration, and which have bag.
tie& the skill of other Practitioners, are by their present km.-
prbved plati of treatment, etlectually and permanently cured;
Without the Patient suffering the excruciating pan and
alarming heinorrhage which frequently follows the applica-
tion of the lunar caustic. In the, course of twenty sears
extensive practice in 'this Metropolis, numerous cases of
Strittures have been and are.daily under. their care, the total
eradication of which is elfedted by a safe, -certain, aihrt expe-
ditions mode of praCtice, superior to any other yet adopted.
The weakness,.relaxation, and debility proceeding from this
complaint are speedily removed, and the Patient restored to
sound and vigorous health. But where the debility has for
years existed, a proper peiseveran,:e in their restorative re-
medies, after the Stricture has been deStroyed, is indispensa...
sly requisite to revive the Slumbering :'sparks of life and to
reanimate the constitution.

.MY Loan,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of a
letter, dated the 3d instant, froin Mr. Frele..l shall
be very ttlich-obli4ed 10 pa- Lordship it you will
urge Doti Martin de Gamy,, to adher, to the rule laid
down for the Government of ray commiiniciaiono
with the Spanish by his Majesty's cot/i-
-n-lands; and upon all future occasions to make
known to tae the wi-hes of the Spanish Govern-
ment through the English Ambassador; I am aware
that it is difficult, if not impossible, to drive the S:)a-
niards froth a false assertion or -a sophisticated or
bad argument, and I consider it but of little import-
ance what remains in their own archives if what they
write is confined to them. But as those who have
the honour of serving his Majesty are liable to mis-
representations and unfounded calumnies of every
description, ' I am desirotis Of a% oiding to give
th 'se who circulate those calumnies respecting
my actions; those grounds for •theta which they
would find in Don Martin de-Garay's dispatches to
me, by requiring that he should' adhere to the rule
which his Majesty has laid down for my Govern-
ment:

I am happy to find that the Junta have taken
measures to supply . the artily. Your Lordship Will
receiie my sentiments urn the permanent arrange-
ments to
.be adopted for this purpose, by the Cou-
rierw
who ill deliver this letter. In the mean time
I must inform your Excellency, that if the Govern-
ment have not already made great exertions to sup-
ply U 9, and if we do not immediately experience the
effeas of those exertions, by receiving- a plentiful
supply of provisions and fordgeo.ve must move a way
iii ,as many detachments as there are road., from
hence, to the frontiers of Portugal. I assure your
ExCellenty that, since the ad, the army has Fad no
bread till yesterday, when about 4000 pounds of bis-
cuit were divided among 30,000 mouths. The
army will be useleSs to Spain, and will be entirely
lost, if this
treatment.. is to continue; and 1 must
say, that it any efficient measures fin. our 'relief had
-bet-ti adopted by the Government when they flist
reliceivpd the -41ccvulit nut ChM IrbSt'S ft utu the
want of provisions, we ought, before now; to have
received the benefit of thrill._ There is this day
again no. bread for the soldiers.

• I must, at the same time, da the late British Mi-
nister the justice to declare, that Ido not conceive
this deficiency of supplies tor the army is at all to
be attributed to any negled or omission or his. It
is to be attributed to the poverty aud•to the ex-
hausted state of the country; to the inaaivity of the
magistrates and people, to their dismelinntion of
taking any trouble; ,excepting that of packing Up
their property, and removing away when they hear
of the approach of the enemy, to their habits of in-
subordination and disobedience, and to. the want of
• power in the Government and their officers.
I I have the honour to be, &c.

ducA of the British troops on the adions of the 27th
and slith of July, and the information, that the
Junta. had beep pleased to appoint me a Captain-Ge-
neral of the Spanish army.

I conceive that I 'cannot with 'iiironrietyaccepi
this commission without the consent of his Majesty;
and I haVe accordingly written a leiter to Don Mar-
tin De Garay, by which I Live made the acceptance
of the commission, conditional upon his Majesty's
pleasure. - This, however, may be considered offen-
sive to the Junta, or yotir Excellency may have re'a
sons unknOwn to me, which might induce you to
wish that I should. not decline the acceptance till his
Majesty's pleasure should be known, although it is
necessary that the office should be considered Ls re=
ferable to 'his Majesty.rive therefore written .a
second letter, and 4 beg your Excellency tb decide
which 'of them you will-send to Don Martin de
ray. I likewise inclose a third, letter to Don Martin
de Garay, in which I have accepted the horses pre-
setapcl-trie by the Junta, in the name of King Fert.li=
nand the-Seventh ; bUt have declined to accept the
pay,of a,Captain-Generak, I shall be obliged to your
Excellency.: if you will send this-letter also to Doti
'Martin de Garay.
