VIENNA, MAY 11.

The follow;ng details have been nuidishecl with
regard to the raising of tke Land Militia. All will
be liable to the conscription under a certain age, not
yet specified, and even the Nobles will not be exemp-
ted. The con-cription will immediately commence
for each regiment, in its appointed recruiting 'circle,
under the inspection of the officers belonging to it.—
The recruiting is regblated in the following manner:
Each reg:ment will consist of one thousand men, of
which six hundred, selected by lot, will be clothed in
uniform, arined and exercised ; and then to be dis-
charged to their former situation, and only to be cal-
led out for four weeks in the year to be exercised aai
manoeuvred. Of these six hundred men, who will
soon be completed for service, the regiment will re-
ceive according to its necessity, and the completion
will take place from the forther conscription. By
these regulations the effective force of our sta is will
not be weakened ; the extraordinary losses which the
war occasioned will be made up ; the recruiting will
be rendered easier, while the labourers are not with-
drawn from their employments.

FOREIGN JOURNALS.

We ha:! received Hamburgh and Altona papers to
the lit, and Dutth to the 21st. The extracts which
we have given from them will be found interesting.
The Dutch papers have given from the Moniteur
the Answer returned by the Governor of Cadiz to
Admiral Ptistvis's Letter. We had the substance a
week ago, but then the answer was ascribed to the
/breach Admiral—Admiral Putty is's message has not
been iublished : that would have been to let the peo-
plc too much into the secret !
Of the proceedings of the Austrians, who are so
much interested in the fate of Spain, nothing is pub-
, fished is these journals. _ _ _

The grounds of the Snafus Consukum, by which
Tuscany has been united to France, were laid before
the Senate on the 24th of May. This report is one 1
of the most interesting documents which has issued
from the French press during the present war, but
we have now only time to point ft out as worthy of
particular attention. Its great importance, as expla-
-1 natory of the projects of BONAPAKTE, and the efforts
he is making to render Prance a naval Power, will
be readily perceived.

IM POW{ .1N DIaCOVERY.

THE Advantage the Public must always derive
from regularly educated professional men directing almost
exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never move
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraor-
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years, Messrs.
CURRIK and Co. Surgeons, formerly its his Majesty's service, have
made the Venereal Disease the partkular object of their investi-
gation, and are happy in having discovered a medicine superior to
mercury in the cure of that complaint; it is suificient to observe
that the efterts of this remedy are diametrically opposite to those
of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of
the virus, in its most eonfitnieft stages, yet it does not in the least
injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it renovates the system
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates di-
gestion : thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constitu-
tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre-
serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores a weak
and debilitated one to its natural strength and vigour. Number-
less instances are on resent record of the superior alcacy of this
, medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an excess 1
• of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or from the snore insidious, though
not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of h' ;It sexes
in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy variety of
disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there are
none more afflicting than that distressing state of debility and de-
ficiency wl kis prevcirti or embitters the matrimonial state; the
unhappy sufferer broods over his mt,fnrtune, ashamed to seek re-
lief, until lie is reduced to such a state of weakness as to render
lit.' oppressive. 'l'et such persons it must be a consoling reflec-
don'ts, know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of
treatment, be restored to that greatest of all human blessings, a
stroug, manly and vigorous constitution.
in alt eases of debility, deficiency, from whatever cause arising,
i as well as in every species of venereal infection, Messrs. Currie
and Co. may be cousulted by patients of either sex with the
greatest secrecy and honour, at their house, No. 107, Hatton-
1 Garden. Patients in. the country describing the particulars of
their complaints, by hitter poit paid, enclosing a Bank note, will

ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

Mr. WARDELL gave notice, that on Monday
he would move several Amendments to the Assessed
'faxes Bill. Mr. Wardell said, he wished to know
from his Majesty's Ministers whether any alterations
had been made in the Medical Department, in con-,
sequence of the sth Report of the Military Comn:is-
sioners, and whether the offending persons had been
dismissed from their situations ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that the Report Was under consideration, and
when it was recollected how voluminous it was, and
the multiplicity of other duties which the Members
of the Government had to attend to, he hoped no
charge of neglect or remissness would attach to them,
though nothing had as yet been finally determined
upon in consequence of that Report.
Mr.WA RDE L L was not satisfied with the answer,
and unless the Right Hon. Gentleman took up the
matter, he would feel it his duty to give notice of a
:lotion on the subject.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
v- objection to a notice being given by the Hon.
for bringing the Report uncle' the consi-
r:ion of the House at a reasonably distant day.
FL A X-SEED.

fir JOHN NEWPORT had heard a ntmour,
hat in consequence of the great-want of Flax Seed in
Ireland, that which had been sent to Great Britain
to be crushed into oil, was intended in some instances
to be sent back to Ireland to be sown. He adverted
to this in order if it was not correct to have it contra-
dicted as publicly as it had been asserted. The report,
whether true or false, had not itito the newspapers.
Mr. W. FOSTER had first heard of this in the
newspapers. It was natural for persons who had Flax
Seed in this country to send it to the best market, but
care had been taken none should be admitted to Ire-
land. except what was in hogsheads—the seed for
crushing being always in bulk.

WEST INDIES.

A Leeward Island Mail arrived -this morning,
brought to Falmouth by the WINDSOR CASTLE Packet.
6.
She brings no news, her arrival having been antici-
pated by that of some merchant vessels, by which
we have received the journal of our Correspon-
dent in the. West-Indies to the 27th March. The
islands have not of late been so healthy. The newly
arrived regimcnts, the 25th and 63d, have suffered
the most. The Scotch Royals had likewise been un-
healthy at Tobago, and the 37th at Trinidada.. Mr.
GRANT, the Staff Surgeon, lately died there ;. he was ,
extremely regretted ; he had served many years with .
great credit as Surgeon of that renowned corps the
421 regiment. *Lieutenant-Colonel Booms, of the
Royal West-India Rangers, likewise died, after an ill-
ness of only two days : he was a young officer of very
great promise, and the regret for his death was great
and general throughout the island.
More troops were called for, as some regiments
like the 70th, were mere skeletons ; and others, like
the 64th, 90th, and Wth, were prodigiously worn out.
" BERMUDA, MARCH 26.

" On Thursday last arrived, after a short passage of 40 days,
from England, 28 transports and victuallers, under convoy of the
Pr .N El.O en and another frigate. On board the transports were the
troops destinod for this W.and and Halifax. The latter proceeded
on their voyage immediately, without coming into port. We
believe they are the regiments menioned in a late Gazette, with
the addition of the 101st. four transports, with the 13th re*
ment on board, came into hlurray's anchorage, and a victuallet
into StGeor:::c's harbour. The regiment, it is said, will land to.
morrow. We tinderatand that the I larriet transport, with a past
of the 43d regiment on board, parted with the convoy in the Bri-
tish Channel, and it is supposed put into Coat. We have heard
nothing more respecting the Rochefort squadron.

" Yesterday arrived his Majesty's ship Columbine, Captain
Dawns's.% w, from Jamaica, and the Jamaica packet, homeward-
bound, in distress, having run ashore on Crooked island. Captain
Cox, of the Humming Bird, which arrived this week is 10 days,
from Trinidad, informs us that there was a report there cf
French squadron having got into Guadaloupe.'!

Ballot stood for to-morrow, he would proceed to count the House
over.

IWAD BODIES FRAM WRFChg.

Mr. TREMAINE rose, pursuant to notice, to
move for leave to bring in a bill to enforce the Curial
of Dead Bodies cast ashore from Wrecks, &c. lie
had been induced to make this motion by strong re-
presentations from the County for which he was mem-
ber (Cornwall), of the nuisance occasioned by a
glect on this head upon its coast, and winch must
prevail,to a greater or less de Tree in every nrritime
county. It often happened that bodies were cast
ashore among poor and ignorant people, who were pre-
vented by the expence from burying them. I-Te men-
tioned two cases in which this had happened ; ibe one
on the bars of the Anson frigate, the other on the loss
of a transport with troops from Buenos Ayres. The
bodies were either left unburied, or were buried in
heaps. The provisions of the Bill would be to encou-
rage the giving notice of such cases to the nearest
parish officers, to compel the officers to bury the
bodies in the parish church-yards, and to reimburse
them, in certain instances, from the treasury of the
county. Leave given.

SOUTH PORT, .AUGUST 8.

Among the many places of public resort, which
the prevailing taste for sea-bathing has of late years
drawn from obscurity into distinction, no one has
more rapidly, or more deservedly, risen into celebrity
than South Port ; a picturesque hamlet situated on
the Lancashire coast, about 18 miles from Liverpool,
and exhibiting, in the most pleasing variety, all that
charms the eye of taste, or awakens enthusiastic ad-
miration in the lover of nature. A chain of fantastic
hills forms the' boundary of the shore, which, for
extent and smoothness, is unrivalled by any in the
kingdom. Behind these are two spacious hotels,
affording. every possible accommodation to the nu-
merous visitants which annually flock thither; and,
scattered among irregular hillocks, appear a num-
ber of fanciful white cottages, some of which form
the tasteful habitations of families who ccnstantly
reside at this romantic place ; while others, are open
for the reception of such persons as inclination or
indisposition may induce to prefer the tranquillity
of the cottage to the gaiety of the hotel. To the
botanist; the florist, and the painter, an inexhaustible
source of amusement presents itself, in the boundless
variety of wild flowers that spring up in every three-
tion ; while their perfumes give a delicious fragtance
to the air. Fish of every kind may be obtained at a
reasonable expence, and various species of aquatic
fowl offer the sportsman a rich regale. But on no
account. has South Port a stronger claim to encomium
than on the salubrity of its air. Barely does the inva-
lid inspire it, without feeling vigour diffuse itself
through his frame, and cheerfulness mantling around
his heart.
Such being the attraction of thi. elegant little ham-
let, we learn, without surprise, that it exhibits this
season a more than usually brilliant display of beauty
and fashion ; and we anticipate its concentrating, at
no very distant period, the most distinguished inva-
lids and stylish elegantes of the age.

The Newcastle Paper of Wednesday states as fol-
lows :—" Yesterday-we experienced one of the most
tremendous storms of thunder, lightning, rain, and
hail, ever recollected by the oldest inhabitant f this
place. The distant thunder was repeatedly heard in
the north-west during the forenoon, and a little be-
fore one o'clock the awful blackness of the horizon,
in that direction, apprised us of a storm of no common
magnitude. In a short time it reached this town,
when Nature itself seemed ready to dissolve; the two
elements appeared as if contesting for the palm of
victory; and it appeared doubtful whether we should
suffer most by the electric fluid, vivid flashes of which
followed each other in rapid succession, or from the
torrent of rain and hail, which deluged the streets in
au instant, and swept away every thing that opposed
`its current. The storm lasted about three hours."
London, England, 1808-08-13

PLYMOUTH, AU,OWY U
Last evening arrived the liawasou cutter from
Channel fleet, with dispatches rube brings an account
'that a diiision of the Brest fleet.lxad come out of the
Inner Harbour into the outer Road, and manifested
a disposition to put to sea; they consisted of 3 sail of
the line, 2 frigates, and brigs : as soon as they were ,
clear of the harbour, three sail of the line, with they
MrzfravA frigate, chaced from the British fleet, whenil
the ships of the Great Nation immediately tacked,
and ran for shelter under their batteries on the shore,
and the line-of-battle ships, together with one of the
frigates and the brigs, by this means effected their
escape; but the other frigate not being so rapid in her
movements, was cut off in her retreat, when, to pre-
vent captureohe ran ashore, with a hope of being out
of reach of her pursuers ; tot the British Tars were
;'not satisfied with the result of their endeavours, and
therefore, to make it wear the appearance of a better
finish, the crewof the MINERVA dashed into their boats,
and succeeded in getting along side, and before they
returned to their ship they made a compleat bonefire
of the frigate. It is supposed that they were destined
to the relief of Martinique, and that had the British'
fleet been but two-hours later, the French ships would
have been so far from Brest as to prevent their return.
The following is an extract of a letter on this sub-
ject

• +~....

" OFF BREST, AUG. 19, 1908.
'• I hasten to inform you, that mefortziately the French squadron
so long cooped up in this port, has had a fortunate escape. One of
our look-out frigates descried the enemy at sea, consisting of four
sail of the line, four frigates, and six gun-brigs. Every heart beat
with transport at the sight, and we saw, or thought we saw, snot
ther laurel decorating the brows of our gallant Commander, Ad-
miral Ducxwoarit, who was leading up his fleet to the attack in
a most admirable style. Oh that we had been near at hand, or
they had been further out at sea! I suppose we were discovered
from tke telegraphs ashore; for, after some signals passing to the
enemy, he suddenly tacked about and made the best of his way
to the harbour, which they all reached in safety, except a frigate,
who in her hurry touched the ground, and was so complaisant as
to wait the arrival of the Minerva, wko had orders to blow her
up, which service was done in a seaman-like manner. About two
o'clock we heard the explosion, which was terrible."

Sailed the MEDIATOR, of 24 guns, with transports
for Lisbon ; and CRICKET, of 10 guns, for Coruna.

We have just learned- that theiSweder hew-made a
descent in. Finland on 'the side of Revolar, .with a
corps of 1500 men, consmanded. by the Adjutant-
General M. de Bergenthaler. He has been made pri-
soner with almost all his corps.
His Majesty has given orders to reinforce the troops
stationed in Wallachia with 25,000 men.

By an imperial Ukase, the commandants of all the
ports blockaded by the English, are forbidden to suf-
fer any loaded vessel to any nation Whatever, to put
to sea, so long as tilt blockade shall continue. This
measure seems tolave been provoked, by the attempts
which several masters of neutral vessels have made to
open a contraband trade with the English, by ex
porting the products of Russia, for the pretencteu
destination of Wismar, Rostock, or Lubeck.
Some Danish prisoners, while on board the Eng-
lish ships, heard the English boast that they could
carry on a very good trade in the Baltic, in despite
of the enemy.—Moniteur, Area 4.

LEWES.

At the quarterly sessions in this town, Lewes, on
the 17th ultimo, a considerable extent of the eastern
part of this county was indicted for fhe badness of
tae roads, by Colonel Hawker, and the officers of the
14th Light Diagoons, who have laudably come for-
ward with every inconvenience and expense to them-
selves, for the comfort of individual travellers, as
well as the neighbouring gentlemen and peasantry,
and more particularly for His Majesty's service, the
dependance of our lives and property at the moment
of invasion. An 3 when the roads of the country
should be considered our next safeguard, to facilitate
the movements of that essential body, the chief of
them are situated at a small distance from the coast, I
to the space of many miles in the vicinity of the wa-
tering places of this part of the county, which we
are happy to announce will prove of the most benefi-
cial advantage to the nobility and respectable people
who have paid their visits and excursions to this salu-
brious climate. Every exertion hourly evinces itself
to remove those difficulties and frightful impediments
that have for so many years past been thrown in the
way of the comforts of the traveller, and, we hope
very shortly, to be an example to more distant parts
of the county, where the badness of the roads calls so
loudly for the same laudable spirit as shewn by these
respectable gentlemen. And it is with no inconsider-
able degree of satisfaction we have heard, that the
same zeal for public advantage will not cease in this
instance, but will prevail throughout the county,
where necessity demands it, unless stronger proofs of
disposition are shewn to remove so long an existing in-
convenience to the public. The thanks of every in-
dividual is due to such meritorious spirit, and we are,
rejoiced to Lind that the consideration of it will be
shewn in a handsome and appropriate present from the
most respectable gentlemen and yeomanry, the prin-
cipal people of this county, who will profit so much
for such a public service.
