A CHALUNGE.

MESSRS. CURRIE and C- Q.. Surgeons, late in
leis service;, challenge the whole,morld to
prove a singit: instance where their medicine and method of
cure have failed of the desired Meet. ' The pradice of many,
years-in this particular branch of their procession,. has not
given rise to one unsuccessful case. _

-"They continue to direct their studies to'the treatment and
cureof venereal complaints, and that derangement of sys,
tem, which is the consequence of tho-pernicious and' wasteful
effeds of a habit long,and most unhappily pursued by the
youth of both sexes. 1 the one it' will be found to be the
unfailing source ot barrenness; the other have its. ravages b.::
tally developed. to them by a distressing state of debility.
-which it not timely remedied, terminates in impotence.'
• these are its remote and ultimate ettetts, while consump-
tion, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints,
usually characterise the earlier. stages of this solitary
0 f persons languishing un,ler the disorders ineidcnt to such a
habit, their treatment is simple, and has never proiied unsuc-
cessful in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended
practice. ln.tbe most obstinate and complicated cases of ve-
nereal infedion, such as obstructions in the urethra, spungy
excrescences, hard tumors; callous ulcers, eruptions, sena.;
nal weakness, gleets, as also r
STRICTURES,.
Whether recent or of long duration, and which 14ve baf-
fled the skill of other PraditiOners, are by their present
proved plan of treatment, effedually and permanently ciued,
without the Patient suffering the excruciating pain and
alarming hemorrhage. w hich frequently follows the applica-
tion of the lunar caustic: In the course of twenty
extensive ,practice in this MetrOptilis, numerous cases of
Strictures have been and are daily under their care, the total
eradication of which is etteded by a sate, ceitaint and expe-
ditious mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted.
The weakness, relaxationvand debility proceeding from this
complaint are speedily removed, and the Patient restored to
sound.and vigorous health. But where the debility has for
yekS existed, a proper perseverance in their restorative re-
medies, after the Stricture has been destroyed, is indispensa-
bly requisite to revive the slumbering sparks of life and to
reanimate the constitution.

• Several Noblemen and 'Gentlemen of the first respe&abi.
lity, have been under the care of Messre. Currie and Co.
for the removal ot complaints of the Urethra, Stritlures, &c.
and having received a radical and permanent sure, request
that references may be given to them, as satisfattory evi-
dences of the decisive superiority of Messrs. Currie and Co's.
plan of treatment. Many of these Gentlemen have had
.strianres from to to-2.0'-years, and had been under t he care of
Messrs: Home, Heaviside, and other Surgeons of equal eini;
• hence, who, attempted the cure by the application of the Lu.
-nal; Caustic, without success.

Messrs. Currie and Co. may be consulted by either sex
g:.-eatest del aacy, • secrecy, and honour,. at-their
house, No. 107, Hatton garden.
Patients in the ,Country are requested to date the partici].
lars'of their case, age, and general habit of living, &c. &c.
nu:losing a remittance for advice and medicines, when the
same 1V tl I be given or sent to any part of the kingdom. 'i•o
ensure that secrecy so essential to their undertaking, the
postage of letters may be added to the accotmt for medicines.

Royal Highness's decision concerning the evidence
produced before you against Mr. Neale, and I beg
you, Sir, to have the goodness to relieve me from
this most disagreeable suspense; if I may, Sir, judge
from appearance, either his Royal- Highness is not
-acquai::ted with what has been proved, or his Royal
Highness has entirely forgiven him; should the
former be the case, Sir, I hope you will have the
goodness to acquaint his Royal Highness to the full

ant further says, that to prevent her husband sleep-
ing down stairs, she had put the child in tro bed
where the maid used to sleep, abd told him she
should' nor want the assistance of .the maid in the
room, but he told her that the Duke had said .per-
haps he (might go to Windsor to-morrow morning,
and thciretore he should seep below stairs, as upon
those' occasions he was accustomed to do. That he
' took no lantern wilk him, nor his gloves or,hat ;
nor had he any lantern belonging to him but one,
which is now in the, house, and is the one which
she now produce,. - That she never heard him make
any complaint of his Royal Highness
,the Duke of
Cumberland, but felt himself much gratified by the
honour, which his 'Royal H ghness and the Princess
Augusta had done him, by standing for their last
child, and for the presents they had made them;
and further says, that her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess Elizabeth hld also sent her presents two years
running. Intormant says, that she knows of no-
thing hanging upon his mind ; that he was not par-
ticularly straightened in his circumstances at that
time, and she does not know that-he was in debt,
or that he Owes any bid, but to the apothecary.: that
the tailor bro9ght home some cloaths fpr him this
morning; that lie never drank spiritS, or any thing
but beer to his meals ; that he made her a little
brandy and water last night_for a spasm she had-in
her stomach, but did not touch it himself, although
she asked him to do so. That 'he was always at
home and devoted the whole, of his time, to her,
not having si,ent one evening out since she last lay
in, now about et,:ht. months :ego; that Mr. \Vanden;
the butter-man, and Mr. Greville, his Royal High-
ness thv Duke of Cambridge's talet, were the per-
son: she slw the most of, and they very seldom
called upon hint ; that be did not belong to any -,
club or meeting, and never went out of doors for a
week together when any thing was the matter
either with her or her children ;, that he had a key to
the green baiz,l doors which communicates with his
Royal Highness's apartments, which be always kept
hiniself, and wore it, in his waistcoat pocket, and she
heard hits unlock the outer door last night when he
left her, the sime key opening that door as • well as
the green baize doors. That he took his clean linen
down stairs with him, and promised to bring back
his dirty linen this morning, and, desired, her to roast
the yeah to-morrow (meaning tia-day), and that he
would remind her of it when he came in the morn-
ing. That -daring his last itness he has frequently
complained of a giddiness in his head, and when she
has proposed to tint upon these occasions to walk',
out in the air, he has always said that lying down
would relieve him ; she has asked him frequently to
consult an apothecary about his health, and his au-
swer always was, that nourishing things were better
than medicines.

INSTALLATION OF LORD GRENPILLE.

OXFORD, JULY 2.-A number of occasional Proc-
tors are appointed to preserve order during the cele-
bration.

We are in the-greatest possible bustle and confu-
sion. The past horses are knocked up in all direc-
tions leading to this city. We hear of numbers that
are detained on the roads for want of horses; not-
withstanding there was a continual arrival of car--
riages during the:whole of yesterday, In the even-
. ing was presented a most delightful and enchanting
scene : the broad walk in meadows attached to
the. noble College of Christ Church was crowded
. with the-gay company who have arrived; and laige.
groupes of the-Gentlerneo ot the University. The
scene was considerably heightened by numerous
parties in pleasure-boats on the river adjoining the
walk. At nine o'clock the college bell rang, for the
company to depart, when they retired to High-
street, and paraded there till about ten.
Earl Spencer, Lord. Carrington, Lord G. Gren-
ville, Sir J. C. Hippisley; Sir John Anstruther, the
Speaker of the ,House of Commons, Mr. T. Gren-
ville, Mr. A. TaytOr, Mr. Wickham, &c: ar-
rived this morning. The influx of company dining
the whole of this day has been extremely great, al-
though with knocked up,horles, so that they only
only came in at a walking pace. Numbers nf persons
walked miles for want of conveyances.
The printed list of those on whom Degrees are to
be conferred, has undergone some alteration since Sa-
turday; several of thwe upon whom, the honour
was intended to be conferred have declined it, and
others are to be substituted.

The rehearsal of. Dr. Crotch's Ode, in honour of
the Chancellor, to be 'perforthed to-morrow, took
place this evening in the Theatre, with a hill band,
who are seleaed from London, and other par's, of
the first eminence. Catalaid also rehearsed :her
songs and pieces that she is to sing; she was in fine
voice, her astonishing strength' of voice had a won-
derful effect in so large a room, when so few per-
sons were in it.

OXFORD, TUESDAY ATTERNOON.—Respeetable
persons of every description have been Bodkins, for
two or three days past, to this city, which is now
as lull as it can hold ; and not a bed or a stable is to
be procured, except at the most exorbitant rates.
The number attraeted by tlie grand ceremonial of

the Instaflidinn of the flew Chancellor, atid,:ls ac-
companying festivities, is.beiond precedent:
Ladles and Gentlemen began to cone& about the
entrances to the Theatre, as eatly as half past seven
in the morning. The doors were openedat nine.
The Ladies were admitted to their seats in the lower
gallery first; but many of them weA. away, from
want of room, The procession of.the Chancellor
did not appear till nearly eleven. Some time after-
wards, the appearance of Sir Sydney Smith, in his
naval uniform, excited a general and loud expression
,
of, applause.
The Procession entered by the great 'South door;
the Esquire Bedels of the University, Messrs.
Rhodes, M. A. Hall, LL.B. and Cox; M.A. bearing
their silver staves,with the- Yeotien Bedels, Messrs.
Wise, Taman, and Dicks, the Verger, B,:c. leading
the way. Then came my, Lord Grenville, in a dark
brown Court suit, and over it his 'official black robe,
_richly embroidered with gold, and_wearing his'ACa-
demic cap and gold tassel. Though happy at
,Ins
Lordship's returning health, we were very sorry to
See such strong marks,ol.his recent indisposition.,
K
He looked very pale; and frdm the heat of the day,,,
dispenSed with wearing the usual wig. -
He was followed by the Vice Chancellor, Dr.
Joan Parsons, Master of Baliol, and a long train of
! Noblemen, Doctors, and Masters, who have taken
out their regvicy, all in their respedive habits ;
among whom weie Earl Spencer, the Bishop of St.
A,aph,• Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, Sir Henry.
Dashwood, Bah. the Right .Honourable Thomas.
Grenville, Sir William Scott,
,and Mr. Abbott,
Speaker of the HOuse of Counnons, (111 e. two mem-
bers for the Vniversity,) Sir John Coxe iliPpisley,
Bart. Mr. M. A.-Taylor, and several youog.Nobie
men of the Unlvers:ty.
The Chancell a. seated himself in the great
chair, iii the centre of the Semi-circle-; the Vice:,
Chancellor standing on his kit hand. The _chair
to the Jett vt as occupied by Dr. William Ho A ley,
Canon of Chrisi Church, and Regius Professor of Di-
vinity ; that on the right hand was empty, Lord
Eldon, the High Steward, not being present. , Be.
fore the Chancellol- on each side, sat the ' ProCtors.
At the ends of the semi-circle, the two Curators of
the Theatre, Dr'. Marlow, President of St. John's,
and Dr. 'Landon, Provost of Worcester, took their
chairs. When the Chancellor and all the members
had taken their places, the spectacle was the grandest
and most impressive that can be imagined. .
A vast and noble semi-circuler theatre, containing
two deep galleries, the upper one entirely filled with
the under graduates in their black gowns arid caps,
the lower One crowded with near 800 ladies, all of
them elegantly dressed, many of them of the first dis-
tinction, and arrayed in the most splendid state, in all
the varieties of colour and plumagebeneath,ln'the
centre, the Chancellor; and on either side, the No-
bility-, and Atlembers of the Universkty, in their
costumes---the area filled with Acadetnidiatis and other
Gentlemen, and the opposite end, to the Chancel-
lor's ehair,.otcupied by 'the Qrchestra, and the vocal
perfortnerS-e—presented, altogether, a picture of the
most brilliant and august kind, which it is impossible
to describe, but which gave the highest opinion of
the greatness of the nation of exhibition we have
witnesssed.

The. CHANCELLOR opened, the` Convocation. in
the usual foirn, and then proceeded to read from
the Chair the proposition for conferring the honorarr
degree of Du for of Civil Law, upon several Noble-
men and Gentlemen, whose names we gave in our
Paper of Monday'.

These were all proposed separately from.the Chair,
and unanimously admitted; upon which they were in-
dividually introduced in their scarlet gowns, address
ed by Dr. Joseph Phillturare, of Christ Church,,
gins Professor of Ciil Law, and their admission de-
clared to them, in the usual words, by the Chan,'
.cellor. The admission of the Marquis of Bucking-
ham was rendered, interesting by the Chancellor,
who manifested a strong sensibility on the occasion
of addressing his elder brother, 'whom he called
" Carissime
,frater," and produced a very general
feeling. The Regitis Professor' of Divinity ad.
dressed Mr. Fagel, an illustrious foreigner, at some
length.
The Public Orator, Mr. Crowe, of New College,
then ascended the &stern, Rcistruni, and delivered
his Commemoration Speech ; which was a very
elegant Latin Oration. This Oration was followed
by loud and reiterated plaudits. ,
Mr. Coleridge, of Corpus Christi, (nephew, we
understand, to Mr. Coleridge the Poet) from the
Western Rostrum, recited 'his . Latin verses, (sUb-
Jed, Pyramides Egyptiacce",) for which he had
gained one of the present Chancellor's prizes.
Mr. Whateley, of Oriel, followed, and delivered
his English Essay, which won another, of these
prizes : the subjed—" What are the arts, in the
cultivation of which the Moderns have been less
successful than the Ancients This essay shewed
a considerable degree of research, and good habits
of analyzation and comparison.
Mr. Miller, of Worcester College, then read his
.Essay in Latin prose, which won the present Chan-
'cellor's third prize : the subjeat InPhilogophia queq
de vita et moribus est, illustrando, queenam prwczpue
sermoturn Socratiorum full excellentia ?',/ This was
highly and deservedly applauded.
• Last came Mr. Chinuery, of Christ Church, who
'recited his English poem of 50 verses, which gained
him Sir Roger Newdigate's Annual Prize : the sub-
,jed—" The Dying Gladiator." This- production
has a very considerable share of youthful pOetical
genius and fire, and was also most deservedly ap-
plauded. r '

This was the last recitation of this daY Music
had VSried the exhibition at each. interval ; and at
the close, the band performed, and Mr. Bartlethan,
Mr. Braham, and Madame Bianchi, displayed their
vocal talents.

The Chancellor then pronounced the dismissal of
the Convocation, and the.procession returned in the
same order as it entered.

Lord Grenville is at the Vice-Chancellor's; at
Baliol.

This-evening the first Concert NVill be performed
at the Theatre, and a Ball given at the,ToWn Hall.

SIR,

Having seen a great number of inaccurate ac;
counts in the Public Papers respeaing General S*
RAZIN, I- think it right to send you the follo-wing
statement, upon the authenticity of which your
Readers may depend.
With regard •to -the rumour from Amsterdarm
that General SARRAZIN carne over here to foment
the disturbances which it was supposed would take
place on the liberation of Sir F. BURDETT from tbe..
Tower; it is s.Alicient •state, thin the General
was invited to go and see the procession, • but reins"
ed to quit his lodgings, stating, that he' came t 0
England for the purpose of living in tranquility and
• solitude. .

General SARRAMN is married to a lady, a natiV6
of Exeter. Her family are engaged in trade in IP"
city, and are of Swiss origin. He has an :tinclet
Mr. PI'SCHER, who is a cloth-merchant at 'Leeds. 041
had a brother.in-law, Mr. ANTHOiIY SCHWARTZ,
who died in October 1804; in the service of hp
Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX.

There were many causes which induced General
SARRAZINT to suit the French service; i i 4,
ever, only necessary to state one:—ln 1798, .tb's
Gt?neral was a prisoner in England, and was es'
changed as" a General of Division against rigzij''f.
General Sir R. BifitRARD; an 'Ensign, and five sol‘
diers. Since his exchange; he has served in Geri

many, inltaly, at St. Domingo, and on the caret
of France. He has frequently applied to be cal'
ployed as a General of Division, in execution of
the -terms of the Cartel, which is an aa of Govern'
inert, but in vain: He has tendered his resigns' ion/
but it was refused. Twelve years after his exch3rti
as a Lieutenant-General, he remained a Major-Ge
neral, and field that rank when be quitted Boulogvg
to come to England; while several young RIO'
who:twelve years ago. were Lieutenants and Cor
tains, are 1:10.w Generals of Division ; and, in 1113'
General. SARRAZIN was in the situation of being
commanded by those very Officers to whom he 103

taught their exercise.
With rzsped to the rank which 'General SA* 80'4
ZIN is supposed to have assigned to BuoNarAiol'
the Archduke CIIARIES, and General - LT, 35
Generals, it is necessary to state, that General SAr
RAZIN being asked his sentiments upon that sutjeCti
said, that it was' the general opinion in Fiance, 024
in the last Campaign, there w2re but two Genet-Ali
in the North, viz. BUONAPARTI; and the Arcb:itiklE
CHARLES j and but two in ,the South, viz. Frei
WELLINGTON and SOULT. Being asked agfollai4
own opinion upon the subjea, he replied, that be
could not -decide upon the talents oithese Chiefs, b3t
that the general opinion in France was, that BO'
NiPARTE•was the first General, and that SotTL.T "o'll4
before the Archduke CHAIILItS.
General SARRAZIN intends to, publish some 01Y
-
servations on the principal recent military ,„
the public will therefore be able to form a jug-
ment, from fads, of the abilities of the did-ereag

Generals.
With regard to what has been published by Ge;
neral VANDAMME, General SAIIiAZIN thinks tlia
contempt is the only answer that can be given 10 i:6
extravagant eulogiums, or to the Violent accusatio-
ns
of 1793, and that all nations, even the English 111.#
tion, care very little about him or General VO;
DAMME ; but when General VANDAMME talks. 0`

the gratitude which every Frenchman owes t°
BUONAA'ARTE for the Services he has rendered
France, it may be proper to observe, that Or
neral 'VANDAMME has received from him a f°r-
tune of above 10,0001. a year;- but it is also trt-;e'
that he pays most dearly for it,' in the mortificatioa°
which he is constantly doomed to suffer. . Without
adverting to his dismission, nor to the admonitiO
which he'received when his Aid de Camp was
ing contributions in Austria, nor to the order which
be received to quit the house of the Mayor of n'tle,
logne in 24 hours, which he had taken poSsession of
by main force, nor to the refusal of BuoNAFABTE ca
alight at his house when he had prepared a magnifig
rent repast for him at a great expence, although he
and his suite passed under his very windows in going
from Dunkirk to Lisle, and from Lisle to St. Omer"
Without adverting to all these circumstances, it i 9
sufficient to recal to the recolletlion of GeneralVA''
.DAMME, the review of,the 2'50 of May, and v.)
remind him of the terms " negligent," and "
norant,"'which were then applied to him by BUIY
NAi'ARTE. General VANDA MN* must particularly
recollect, that when he was defiling at the bead of
his troops, he sllutecl BUONAPARTE with his sabre,
and that the latter turned his head' from him with
disdain, without even looking at him. General
VANDAMME, with all his wealth, must,, with the,
spirit- he possesses, have at that moment loOkeo
back with regret to the period of 178 G, when he.
was a common soldier', and there can be no doubt.
but that he would hail with pleasure the restoratioo
of the legitimate Sovereign of France. -
General SARRAZIN, from whom the greater pa,ft
of time derails have been received, will, there cat,-
,be no doubt, submit them to the public in a mots
extended.shape. I am, Bre.
