IMITATION BEAU'S GItEASE.

JATKINSON respectfully iuforms the Public, that
• though the BEAR'S GREASE imported by hint is sold
by most respectable Perfumers in Landis', yet there are still a
iii,mher of little Shops who sell Articles they call Bear's Grease,
but which is only Lard, &c. and even many say it is ATKIN-
SON'S BEAR'S GREASE. Purchasers will therefore be particu
br to observe, that a Bill is round the Put with his Signature and
Address, and no Pot is now sold less than 2,. G.l. And as genuine
Bear's Grease from the Animal in it's native climate &tier, in ap-
pearance from all other animal And vegetable Fats, a pattern Pot is
furnished to each Vender, which, it in-pected previous to purchas-
ing, and compared with the spurious, the difference will instantly
appear. It is now become in general demand, and there is no
doubt that for the growth of hair it far excels any article hitherto
known. It is also very pleasant for dressing the hair, making it
beautiful, soft, and glossy.
Sold by the imposter, Jas. Atkinson, Perfumer, 44, Cloward-
street, Soho-square, London; and, by appointment, by Messrs.
Cattle and Pierce, 57, Bond-street ; Grange, .126, Orford-street ;

FOR THE IMMEDIATE CURE AND PREVENTION OF

SORE
1111I1E ACACIA CERATE, prepared from a Mint
IL growing on the Mountains of Ilindostau, in the East Indies,
md one of the most valuable in the vegetable world, is one of the
.;realest possible comforts that can be rendered to those happy mo•
tiers who are desirous to nurse their infaws, but who suffer too
.tequently under the pain and misery of sore s, and all its at-
•endant cot.sequences. The usual application of stimulants, which
!relit:it or ever afford even temporary relief, and in numberless in-
stances only aggravate the pain of the sufferer, may now be avoided
by the use of this perfectly innocent and sanative compound, winch
r. offered 12 mothers, from a conviction that $o withhold so great a
comfort from them wou!d be an act of cruelty and injustice. In-
:!unierable testimonials of its excellence, from the most respectable
authority can be given, if required; and it is recommended as an
iadispensable requisite previous to the accoucheinent of every Lady
LI the kintdom.

AMBOYNA NOUTH POWDER,
TOR CLEANSING, BEAUTIFYING, AND PIOLEINYING THE TEETH.

THIS POWDER is as pleasant in the application
as it is excellent in its effects ; it speedily renders the Teeth
white and smooth, the gums healthful, red, and firm ; and by con-
stant use will preserve them in this desirable state to the utmost limits
of human life. ft gradually but effectually dissolves tartar which
ne,;tect may have permitted to collect ; takes out all dark streaks,
or discolourings of the Teeth, which prove so material a drawback
to beauty; prevents those Teeth which are already partly decayed,
from ever becoming worse, and cleanses, beautifies, and preserves
those that are sound; it imparts to the breath the most delightful
fragrance, and to the Gums that florid redness which indicates a
h. althfut st..te. Those who constantly use this Powder as directed,
will never have the Tooth-ach, or a Tooth decay.
The LOTION is a concentrated l'r,parztion, and contains all
the desirable qualities of the Drug of which the Powder is made,
and is particularly recommended to be used with the Powder, when
the Teeth or Gums are in a bad state, namely, spongy, sore, or apt
to bleed, symptoms which proceed from Scurvy, and which this
will never fail to remedy : it is also a certain, safe, and
speedy cure for the Tooth-ach.

BATATIA.
ANISTEIIDAM, APRIL 14.

Accounts have been received from aitavia of the
13th of December, fm orn which we learn that the Pall ies
in the island of Sumatra had had the boldness, during
the absence of Lieut.-Colonel naafi, to recommence
hostilities, and to attack some diAticts occupied by us;
that they were, however, repulsed with great bravery
by the Netherland troops under the command of Major
Laemlin. This officer, pursuing his advantage, attacked
the Padries in thei: fortified posts at Kahan and Him,
from whence they were driven, sword in hand, on the
2Gth and 2Sth of September :the loss of the enemy was
considerable. Great praise is due to the officers and
troops employed on this service, and his Excellency the
Governor-General has testified hi; unqualified approba-
tion. The loss on our side is vets small .

Some companies of infantry, provided with every
thing necessary, have beer; sent by the British Govern-
ment in Beival to the west coast of Sumatra, to
strengthen and fortify the Company's settlement at Natal.
As the who!e island of Sumatra is now ceded to the
Netherlands, we learn wi,h peculiar pleasure that Lieu-
tenant-Colonel ltaaff, on a journey into the interior of
that important island, found it not destitute of popula-
tion ; and at the same time properly cultivated and
adapted to all kinds of produce. He also found traces
of an internal legal Governintnt, nay, even of a petty
general local Government—the most certain prodfs of
an advanced degree of civilization. This officer, who
has given a verbal :tccntnit ~t these And other partici'.
lars, has lately returned from Batavia to Padang, pith
troops to complete his tnilitat y force, and some young
civil officers, acquainted with the language and manners!
of the inhabitants, and with the regulations in foie,
in Java.
