UNRIVALLED PIANO-FORTES.
WPINNOCK most respectfully calls the attention
• of the Public to his GRAND CABINET PIANO-
FORTE, which is of a very superior quality, and by having an ad-

than the common Cabinet. This Instrument is manufactured in a
superior style, having a Parisian front, with handsome pillars,
beautifully ornamented with carved capitals and bases, altoether
calculated to adorn the most splendid apartments ; and from its rich
and brilliant tone is unrivalled. W. PINNOCK alio begs leave to
observe, that in consequence of his extensive arrangements for ma-
nufacturing Piano-fortes, he is enabled to submit for public in-
spection, a great variety of excellent SQUARE, Carr:loE.
HARMONIC, CABINET, and HORIZONTAL GRAND
PIANOS, made of the very beat and well-seasoned materials, on
the most liberal terms.—Old Instruments taken iu exchange.—
Piano-fortes of superior quality let out on hire.--Descriptive Lists

ment's Church-yard, Strand.

berty to exchange any Instrument within three months, or even at
any period, on payment of the hire and expenses.
N.B. A liberal credit given, where the parties are known to be
respectable.

lOUS IMITATIONS of Dix:Toit SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BA LM
OF GILEAD, put forth by several unprincipled individuals to
ensnare and deceive. The great reputation so los% enjoyed by that
excellent medicine for the cure of Nervous Complaints,Declines, and
Diseases induced by Excessive Indulgences, and the great demand
for it, have tempted the worthless and unprincipled to this nefarious
practice, by which many invalids have been irreparably injured.
These imitations extend not only to the Name of this medicine,
but to the Advertisements, Wrappers on the bottles, and every
distinguishing mark EXCEPT THAT wuICH WOULD INVOLVE THE LIFE
OF THE DEPREDATOR, namely, the words " Samuel Solomon, Liver-
pool," engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each Bottle, to
imitate which is felony, and punishable as such. To this distin-
guishing mark the public attention is particularly directed, without
which no " CORDIAL BALM" whatever lus any clams to the merits
of Ur. Solomon's invention.
".• The genuine medicine is prepared at Gilead-House, near Li-
verpool, and sold by Mr. Johnston, Bookseller, No. 65, ;
Mr. ,Sanger (late Bacon and Co.) 150, Oxford-street, opposite Nev
Bond.street ; Mr. Ward, Holborn; and .ilr. Stradling, Royal Ex-
change, London ; in bottles at I is. each, and family bottles, COD.
taining the quantity of four small ones, for 555. whereby Ils, may
be saved.
N. B. Be careful to ask for " Doctor Solomon's Cordial Balm of
Gilead," and look at the name on the Stamp.

LEAKE'S GENUINE PILLS, justly famous lot

ders, within the last eight years; Prepared and sold by the sole

SWISS IN DEPENDE\CE.
BERNE, FEBRUARY 1.
The Minister of Prussia, accredited to the Helvetic
Confederacy, has just sent a demand to the Government
of the Canton of Argovia, which excises public atten-
tion, and which was unsnimously rejected. This dt-
mand was that a Gentleman. formerly Professor at the
University of Giessen, and generally esteemed in Ger-
many, should be given up to the Prussian Government.
He was for some time Editor of the Journal published
at Elberfield, in which character he asked the fulfilment
of those promises of a Constitution which had been fre-
quently made and repeated at die time when the whole
population of Prussia rose in, arms against France. The
style of Professor Follen having displeased the Upper
Police of Bcrlin,an inquiry was instituted, which lasted
two years, and during which time the Professor was
confined in the prisons of the capital. After a severe
examination, he was pronounced innocent arid set at li-
berty. To avoid further per•ecution, he made hate to
leave Germany, and, provided with a passport from
Giessen, his native town, established himself in Arau.
His merit induced the Cantonal Government to make
choice of him to give lectures on literature at the
Cantonal school : he then procured himself to be na-
turalised a citizen of the Canton, and is at the present
moment on the eve of marrying a young lady, the
daughter of a respectable family in Zurich. It is not
known by whose orders a new trial has been begun at
Breslau, by a provincial Court, on account of an offence
which was decided long ago at Berlin ; but so it is, and
the accused has been sentenced, 'without having been
heard, to ten years' imprisonment in a fortress. The
Prussian Minister has accordingly demanded that he
should be given up ; but the Government of Argovia
replied, that Professor Follen having renounced the
rights of citizenship in his own country, and having
legitimately acquired the rights of citizenship in Arau,
and there being no convention existing between the two
countries for the delivering up persons accused of poli-
tical crimes, it was not possible to comply with the de.
mand of the Prussian Minister, and that they would
never give up a citizen without examining the reason
why he was reclaimed, or without hearing his defence.

AMERICAN COMMERCE.

FROM THE NATIO:4AL INTELLIGENCER.

The Bill for a revis on of the Tariff of Duties on Im-
ports, was yesterday reported in the House of Repre-
sentatives, by Mr. Tod. The interest which the sub-
ject excites is proved by the fact that two thousand co-
pies of the bill were ordered to be printed, and that
this is the first instance within our recollection, of an
extra number of copies of any bill having been ordered
to be printed. The bill is long. The following are the
duties which it proposes on some of the leading articles:
On all manufactures of wool, or of which wool shall
be a component part, a duty of 30 per cent. ad vat. un-
til the 30th of June, 18`25; and after that time a duty
of 33 1 3 per cent. ad val.
On all manufactures (other than those specified in the
bill) of cotton, silk, flax, or hemp, or of which either of
these materials shall be a component part, a duty of 25
per cent. ad val.
On wool, manufactured, a duty of 25 per cent. ad
ual. until June 1, 1825; afterwards a duty of 30 per-
cent. ad val. until June 1, 1826 ; afterwards 40 per cent.
ad val. until June 1, 1827 ; and, after that time, a duty
Of 50 per cent. ad val.
On lead, in pigs, bars, or sheets, two cents. per pound;
on leaden shot, three and a half cents. red or white lead,
four cents. per pound ; on hemp, two cents. per pound ;
' flax, three cents. tarred cables and cordage, four cents.
per pound ; on iron, in bars or bolts, one dol. twelve
cents. per cwt. on round iron or brazier's rods, nail or
spike rods, iron in sheets, hoop iron, and on iron slit or
rolled, three cents. per pound ; iron spikes, four cents.
iron nails, five cents. per pound ; on tallow, four cents.
tallow candles, five cents. and sperm candles, eight
cents. per pound ; on wheat 25 cents. per bushel ; on
potatoes, ten cents. per bushel ; on castor oil, forty cents.
per gallon on all foreign distilled spirits, fifteen per
cent. in addition to the duties now imposed by law.
The second section provides, that all articles com-
posed of mixed materials shall pay the highest duty to
whic harticles manufactured from any such materials
are subject.
The third section provides, that from and after June
30, 1824, there shall be added to the duties on all goods,
wares, and merchandise, imported, the full amount of
snch bounty or premium, as, on the exportation of si-
milar articles may be paid or allowed in the country
from which the same shall be exported, or in which
they shall be manufactured or produced.
The fourt'l section provides, that, on all a! tides im-
ported into the United States in foreign vessels, after the
respective periods as above stated, there shall be im-
posed an additional duty of ten per cent. the vessels of
those nations excepted in whose favour provision has been
made by Act of Congress or Treaty stipulations.
