T BAKE'S GENUINE PILLS, justly famous for
curing, in all its stages. the VENEREAL DISEASE
One small Pill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, in a recent
Case, will so in convince the patient of the certainty of his speedy
recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more
convenient than this Remedy, fur such as are obliged to go )(nor-
nies or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet ;
and sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved
that it will effect a Cure when repeated Salivation and all other
methods avail nothing. For the Scurvy and other Chronieal
Disorders, this Medicine has not its parallel. Upwards of
10,000 persons of both sexes have been radkally cured of the
above cruel disorders, within the last eight years. Prepared and

Pit TE*LETTELAKAtIS, JANUARY 17.
aL extudifilem3the last will and testae ,
meat of Bonaparte, disposing of sums of money which
he claims as his property, to those friends and servants
who had followed him in his exile, or whom he thought
faithful to him in his different changes of fortune. It
is printed here, and handed about privately, in the
shape of a small pamphlet, but can neither publicly
be sold, nor is it allowed to be copied into the jour-
nals. 1 have made inquiries about its authenticity,
and have heard that no doubt need be entertained on
the subject. Besides this testament, of which an ex-
tract is here subjeined, the Ex-Emperor left a kind of
political will, which speaks of higher things, and dis-
- poses of larger sums. This latter document. which is
in the possession of M. Du pin, has as yet been known
to very few persons, and will for some time at least
be kept a secret from the Public. In it the prisoner of
St. Helena disposes of an almost imperial fortune of
f arty millions of francs to public institutions, to par-
. ticular classes, and for political purposes. It would
be curious to-learn how such a treasure was acquired,
and Bonaparte does not cenceaLthe fact. As Em-
peror, he. enjoyed a Civil List of 24 millions a year;
and out Of this, by living within his inconhot be awed
ten millions every year or the four yaws before his
marriage. After his return from Russia, or during
the Russian expedition, he ordered all those intulgs
to be' lent for the public service. This loan he re-
claims in his will, and disposes of it in a manner of
which I shall probably be able in a few days to in-
form you. After this, nobody need wonder that the
Pope, on the discovery of America, thought himself
entitled Lo the disposal of the western world."
TESTAMENT 07 NAPOLEON.

Helena.
. This is my testament, or act of my last will:

titer's inheritance.
