MEDICINE.

THE CORDIAL BALM of GILEAD.is now:
considered as the greatest discoverythat bus been made
in the memory of man ; it is potent, safe, and pleasant. The
rapid and increasing fame bestowed on its Inventor (Dr. NO-
LOMON, of LiverpOol) is the true and only criterion tojUdge
of the merits of ,a Medicine which has been administered
from the highest to the lowest class of people With such happy
and uniform success.—Thu Venders of this Medicine fre-
quently cannot get supplied so quick as the demand is for it ;•
and itis a fact worthy of remark, that they are sold nearly a 3
soon as they at rive to hand, being mostly bespoke before they
are orderud.
No person labouring Under weaknesses and debility should
despair, but make a trial of the Cordial Balm of Gilead,
which will nut disappoint their hopts, however sanguine they
may be.

No. 9, New Bridge-street, London

HONOURED SIR,
IBEG leave to inform you, that erer mice the
year 1790, I had been afflicted with theLues'Venerea ;
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and tin-
Jergoino•' severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged front the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to Pitt a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and my legs were • broke out in a frightful
manner ; my right was dreadfally painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the laSt seven years; my left had also '
two tat-0-e nodes on it, was Very much diSeoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest ; IR this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. J. '.rlionipson; (Who received
so
great a cure by them here), to take vOur Leahe's Patent Pills,
which 1 began to do on the 26'th of May ; in the course of a
ortnight I began to reeeire. benefit -in little more than a
month the ulcers On My head anti arrnS were soundly healed—
soon atter, the sores no toy legs healed also; leaviug, how-
ever, considerable disco) mration in the skin, anti pan its the
fume of the left, whiCh, by the bltssing of God, an;l a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, suksided ;
the nodes tl.o3perSing, the skin regaiiiing its natural hue, and
the nocthrnal pains gradually going otf.-1 thus becatiii:, by
your liberal advice and Medicine; perfcetif free front all toy
Cornier complaints-have recovered my, former spirits a lid
strength, and ant bectoue jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many months; to the astinahinent of all who knew
me, I ant at a loss in what terms V* expreSs my gratitude, hut
beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my ease its public as posible; as I shall on steely oeca-
ion ; iii so doing yon will greatly Alige,

Royal Higlin!ss the 'Princess CHARLOTTE, Alight
be selrctert .; and the tribute of our leelinqs be as
durably, and more,beneticially perpetuated': by the
erection of a Epee church i.n the iiiettOfiolis. At
a .time when schism and irreligion pre making
such fearful inroads on our national establish-

ment,.it is the duty of every true friend to his
cotintly,t,o:lend his,best aid in arkestiug their pro-
gress.: How inadequate our pl4ces of public wor-
ship at.e,,both in number anti size, to the amount
Of our population, is notorious': and it is a defi-
ciency which bears with peculiar force upon the
lower orders of the.commitnity. And though the
erection of a single church may' go but a little way
'towards remedying this evil, still, as the public
feeling will, it is to be hoped; 'peculiarly manifest
itself on the present occasion,: a building might be
erected in every way suitable to the end in view,
as a great mark of national feeling ; and though
not perhaps of general, Might prove of infinite
local, advantoge. • If Ole whom, we now lament

the sentiments of piety which ts.he ever evinced; and
to 'the earnestness of her endeavours to promote
the spiritual as' well as' temporal good of all
around her. fro mark the of of such an
establishment, I would propost that the Statue
'of her Royal nighties', with an appropriate in-
script ion, he ,erected in front of, or a Monumental
group ebuddenotisly placed uithin the. edifice.
External spleudour may thus be unit( d with solid
advantage: no " empty sepulchre" will attract
the adniiratidn' of the multitude; but a milder
montinint, a temple of living worship, will speak
in higher and deeper language to the heart; and,
titter the Divine blessing, the record of present
sorrow conduce to the eternal joy of future gene:
raticins. remain Sir,

P. S. Shobld you, Sir, approve of the above
sdggettions, and think them calculated to excite
attention to a subject which it, I think, by no
means Uniniportant, I would venture to solicit at►
early insertion In yout• truly liberal and patriotic'
columns. With respect to the establisnn►ent of a

......
Free Church, as best calculated to promote the
udvantngt of the lower orders; I wish to suggest,
that tilt funds raised by sUbscription may be in
part applied to its endOwment, if they prove suf-
ficiently extensive ; and the fut•ther annual ex-
penses defrayed by the reteipts arising from the
Ctalle►ies, or such other part of the Church as
would be allotted to pews for the higher ranks of
society, as is the case in the Free Church at Bath,
and i believe some others on a similar plan.

Officers, Consisting of a Captain, Paymaster, and
three Subalterns. He framed .a standing, order,

THE CATHOLIC CLAIMS.

FOR THE SUN.

(LETTER Vl.]

MR. EDTTOR,—.-111 my last Letter I found it
necessary to prove that a direct mis-statement
lay on the threshold of the "Address and Appeal
of the Roman Catholics of Ireland to the Pro-
testants of the United Kingdom," and as the
Appellants endeavour to throw us off our guard,
by professing that " their case is simple," a
gross, violation of Truth, voluntarily committed
(because in every discussion of the question, and
in: every stage of it, the fact has been brought
to the proof), must surely rouse every reflecting
man, to pause before he can repose confidence in
any one statement or opinion which may be sub-
sequently brought before him by the persons who
are thus proved guilty of it. That no doubt may
lurk in the mind of the most incredulous, and
that any future attempt to impose this stale de-
vice upon The People may be rendered abortive,
I shall here put upon record the admission of the
Parties themselves, that their present assertion,
that the Body of Irish Roman Catholics consists
of six millions, is false and groundless.
Mr. GRATTAN', in 1762, when anxious to give
all the force and importance in his power to the
numbers of The Roman Catholics, states them at
two millions. Dr. BUTLER, the Roman Catholic
Archbishop of Dublin, repeats the same in 1787.

The Body itself, of Roman Catholics, in ad-
dressing the Duke of CLARENCE in 1787, state
their own nu»zbers to be two millions. Now here
is evidence produced, I repeat, from the parties
themselves, to confute their own statements—and
I leave any dispassionate man to decide, whether
it is likely that they were originally under the
mark, or whether, in point of fact, they did not
greatly exceed it, as was repeatedly stated at the
time ! In the year 1788, a calculation was made,
and the Truth was ascertained as nearly as pos-
sible, that the Roman Catholic Population of
Ireland was to that of the Protestant, as ()NB to
TWO AND A HALF !—so that if we admit the Roman
Catholic Population to be six millions, we shall
have a result of TWENTY-ONE MILLIONs, as the
whole Population of Ireland. What an admirable
Census for a Poll Tax! This is, however, what
the present Appellants call having " a simple
case," and for which they demand " a patient
bearing."

We will now, then, proceed to " the simple

ease" itself, with somewhat more scepticism, in-
deed, than might. have been deemed necessary in
the absence of so candid an exordium to put us
upon our guard ! The first sentence at which we
arrive, it must be confessed, comes, with rather

an ill grace :—" Our case is simple—it does not
" require the aid of any factitious illustr& ion to
" display its merits—we entertain no secret views."
Surely, after what we have already seen, this
very declaration is in itself a just ground of si!s-
picion ; and what, Sir, do you conceive, is the
confirmation brought in proof of its sincerity ?
_Nothing less than an assertion, in as plain and
explicit terms as can well be conceived, that from
the period of our glorious Revolution up to the
present hour, we have been upholding cr rotten and
imperfect Constitution, which can only be restored
to a state of purity and activity by the accession of
the Roman Catholics as Legislators and Admi-

tistrators ! Take the statement of this " simple
case" in their own words—" We seek not to
" accomplish AN INNOVATION of the Constitution,
" but to accelerate its unrestricted operation" ! ! !
They may well boast of having no secret oiews--
but did they imagine that, with all the proverbial
credulity of Englishmen accumulated upon our
shoulders, we were to be duped by the use of
simple professions into the adoption of suicidal
measures against the Constitution ? It is to be
remembered, that they have already told us, that
they are excluded " by an unwise and unjust Code
of Laws," which Code of Laws is neither more
no less than the Constitution as settled at the Re-

volution. But this side-blow is not enough. Having

boasted their numbers: they approach in front of

the Constitution and unfurl their Banners against

it. They tell us, that these are their Views " so-
lemnly and repeatedly promulgated." This, by the
wry, is again untrue; unless the declaration be

restricted within the walls of the Irish Associa-

It has never appeared in a tangible form
on their side of the question, although it has
solemnly and repeatedly been promulgated" on

Lions.

the part of their Opponents—by Opponents who

Lave been stigmatized by every foul epithet that

could be gleaned from the modern school of Li-
berality, for falsely colouring the objects and views

of the calumniated Roman Catholics! 1 dety them

to produce a sentence, in all their writings and

communications (save and except those which

have not seen made Public in the mission of Mr.

11A7 ES alit! others to ROME) that can be forced
