AS a mild and effectual Remedy for all those Dis-
orders which originate in a vitiated action of the Lister and
Biliary Organs, namely, INDIGESTION, LOSS or Arravirit, MULD.
ACHY., lIxA RTMURN, FLATULANCIEn, SrAsals, COSTIVENUS, A IPTECTIONs
or HIE Liven, &c. &c. DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS
have met with more general approval than any other Medicine
whatsoever. They unite every recommendation of mild operation
with successful effect; and reqiiire no restraint or confinement
whatever during their use. In tropical climates where the conse-
quences of redundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarm-
ing, they are an invaluable and efficient protection. They are
likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from ex-
ceQses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove
most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

CATALONIA AND VALENCIA.

CASTELLON DE LA PLANA, JULY co, 1824.

• •
I set out from Barcelona in the mail which proceeded
to Valencia. The route, as you leave the former city,
lies, for four or five leagues, through a highly-cultivated
district, where the vine at present looks luxiiriant. At
length the mountains arpear at hand, arid the ascending
and descending try the strength of the mules, while the
terrors of the traveller are excited by the recollections
of the place over which he is moving. Little crosses of
wood, and sometimes of stone, indicate the spots on
which murder had been perpetrated. " Here aas mur-
deted such and such," &c. frequently meets the eye ;
and even the stoutest heart would be appalled at the
number of those memorials of crime. I am now among
the Spaniards, and I must conform to their ways; there
is no longer a word of French used by the postillions,
arid instead of a condudeur, as in France, the coach is
under the care of a mayoral, as the Span:a, ds call him.'
" Look yonder," said the mayoral to me, as we were
passing through a solitary part of the mountains; " see
that little wooden cross—it was there perished the 13iillop
of Vich during the Constitution." The Bishop had been
an earnest enemy to the Constitution, which caused his
arrest and confinement in Barcelona. By order of the
Authorities of that period, he was sent, under the escort
of a corporal's guard, to another fortress. Whether the'
soldiers had received orders for his assassination or not,
it is difficult to decide; but on arriving at this solitary
spot, the corporal declared that he meditated an escape.
A Court-martial was held by the soldiers—they found
the Bishop guilty, and then ordered him to prepare for
death. The Bishops in this country are always attended
by an attached friend, generally a minor ecclesiastic.
The affectionate friend of the Bishop, on seeing him on
his knees, thought by his pi esence to prevent his death:
he caught the bishop, in his arms as if to preserve him—
the soldiers fired, and they both died together.
In passing thron these mountains the coach was
guarded by two militiamen, whose agility and capabi-
iity of enduring fatigue astonished me. 1 have seen
those Catalan soldiers run ten miles on foot, with their
carbines slung on their shoulders, while the sun, with all
the strength of mid-day, poured forth heat sufficient
almost to scorch the earth over which they bounded.
Well, indeed, may it be said that the Catalan peasants
would make most excellent soldiers ; the patience and
the exertions which I saw them undergo between Bar-
celona and this town have demonstrated to me the ob-
servation to be true. Slight in person, and in size not
exceeding the middle height, their temperance insures
them an agility rarely to be met with in any country.
li, crossing the mountains, proofs of the exertion of Ca-
taloniau ingenuity, when well directed, are clearly seen
in the communications which they, at former periods,
formed between the mountains. Independent of those
marks of human labour, the towns of Villa Franca de
Panadez and of Tarragona, prove that the comforts of
life have not been neglected here, as they are said to
have been in the other parts of Spain.
The appearance of the country on leaving Tarragona
is very agreeable; the Mediterranean, on the shore of
which this pretty city is placed, continues in sight for
many leagues on the left; on the right appears a ridge
of mountains, in many of the amphitheatres of which,
and where the hand of cultivatian appears to have
guided the plough-share or the pruning-knife—where
the soil seems virgin, as in the days of Adam, one might
fancy how many splendid cities might have bee•
erected. Here was everything necessary; abundance of
stone to build, pure air, a soil capable of producing as
well the vine as the corn. The sea washing the now
uncultivated shore, inviting man to use its waves for
the purpose of transporting the produce of other coun-
tries to those agreeable districts. But they ale now as
a desert in the midst of plenty, and why ? Because
the pride and conceited ignorance of man have marred
the good wishes of the CREATOR, by depriving their
fellows of their free will, by reducing the free-horn
children of Heaven to the state of slaves, as well in
body as in mind.
The country, as one approaches the Ebro, becomes
more cultivated, and the olive is seen mingled with
vines. The Ebro, over which the coach was tented at
a little village called Amposta, presents notbing te-
maikable at this spot; it moved along slowly, and, it
one may say, unconcernedly, at this season.
It was Sunday evening when the coach arrived in
Amposta, and as there is not always sufficient security
for travelling during the night, it stopped at this little
town. There is a something in this small spot which
struck me greatly ; scarcely an inhabitant was to be
seen, and even the birds appeared to be torpid. There
.was something so silent, that not even the orisons of a
recluse at the time when the sun was sunk in the west,
could be disturbed by night in Amposta. There was
nought of life or mo:ion, save the Ebro, which glided
gently by the last village on its southern bank.
In the morning, the mayoral summoned all his pas-
seagers a► the break of day, and we set out to lass
through Sass CATiOS, a pretty village, and through

smiling country, to Vinuroz, where the Spanish tempe-
rate breakfast, a small cup of chocotate, a glass i.t water,
and some small slices of sweet toast, awaited us.. The
little town of Benicarlo next presented itself to Our view.
Vinuroz and Benicarlo are celebrated for their er.poits
of wines, which are much sought after in the tioritiein
parts of Europe. They ate both situated in the k;ngdorn
Valencia, which is known as the garden of the Pe-
ninsula. The wine produced in this district is thick, and
therefore requires a sea voyage to render it pure; it, in
consequence of its being the produce of a warm soil,
has sufE,:ieut body to bear a long voyage. I question
much, from its great resemblance to what is called Port
wine, it a great portion of the wine drank in England be
not exported from this part of Spain instead of Oporto.
You recollect that Gil Bias, when he retired from the
fatigues of life, came to reside in the kingdom of Valen-
cia. lam now in this kingdom, and I perceive clearly
that his was a good choice. This town, which contains
12,000 inhabitants, has all the appearance of being
happy ; for there is some industry amal.:.l its inhabi-
tants. The small houses have a singular appearance,
from the manner in which the door is formed ; six or
more feet %vide at the bottom, they are circular at the
top : they were open as we entered, and the kitchen,
which formed the apartment visible. looked more neat
and cleanly than you could exrect to find in Spain.
The inn, too, is such as ro Spaniard would refuse to
praise, for it is excellent for the country.

(MENTAL LI 1 ERATURE.

FROM TILE MONITEUR OF MONDAY.—OFFICLAL PART.
REPORT TO THE KING.
" PA US, AUGUST 20, IBM
II SIRE—At the time of the revival of letters, when
the nations of Europe, scarcely emerged from barba-
rism, gave themselves up wirh entlin-iasm to the search
after the precious remains of antiquity, Francis I. eager
to favour the movement of his age, established the
Royal printing-office, and caused it to publish a great
number of ancient MSS. preserved, but forgotten, in
the monasteries. The example of this great Prince was
imitated by his successors. The Royal presses did not
cease to form important and preciouscollection/, when
the mtiMficenze of the King s could draw the❑t from ob.
livion. Li no days, a new diiection has been given to the
minds of the studious. 'file study of antiquity no
longer suffices for the insatiable ardour of the learned.
One would say we had exhausted these fruitful sources
from which all modern literature has issued. We de•
sire to know other arts, other systems, other languages
we demand from the old nations, placed at the extre•
mities of the earth, the numerous writings which they
possess, and which we are impatient to enjoy ; it is the
spirit of all the people of the earth that we seek to know
and to judge. The Governments et Europe vie with
each other in seconding this impulse; the King of
Prussia has founded at Bonn a University, dedicated to
the study of the languages of Asia; the King of Bavaria,
the Duke of Gotha, and the King of Denmark, sent
into Africa to collect MSS. Holland gives successors
to the Schultens, and Russia lavishes on the le-allied en.
couragements mild rewards.

" In this general movement the first rank ought to be.
long to France. The treasures of its libraries, the ad-
vantage which it has of possessing the most precious
collections of oriental types in Europe, tile number and
the personal merit of the French literati, allinsure it
this useful and flattering superiority. •
" But the individual zeal of the laborious men who
have devoted themselves to these arid studies is not
enough. It requites to be favoured and seconded by a
powerful hand. Why should that not be done now for
oriental literature, which was done in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, for the study of antiquity and
classical literature? Might not a collection► of the prin.
cipal oriental woe ks be undertaken, which should be
published under the auspices of your Majesty ? also the
great Byzantine collection, the collection of the council
and of the historians of France, formerly executed at
the Royal printing-oflice ? It would be easy fur
the Royal printing-office to execute this undertaking
without interrupting the ordinary course of its la-
bow s, and even without incur' ing any considerable
expense. Pupils are maintained in that establishment
to be instructed in the typographical management
of oriental characters. The desire of hastening and ex-
'tending their instruction caused a very useful article to
be added to the Decree w hich established them, but the
execution of it has unhappily been neglected..
" The Bth Article of the Decree was in fact conceived
in these terms Our Chief Judge, Minister of Justice,
may authorise the printing of the necessary W •rks in
the Oriental Languages, as U eil for the instruction of
the pupils, as to keep up in the composit.us the know.
ledge and habit of their work.' And the 9.1 i Article
provided for the reimbursement or the expenses by
means of sale.

" These regulations suffice for the accomplishment
of the plan, the object and advantages of %Ouch 1 have
just pointed out. 1 therefore propose to your Majesty
to grant your approbation to this plan, and to order
that Article 8, of the Decree of the 22.1 March*, 1813,
at length may be carried into execution.
"The French literati will, I doubt not, be eager to
concur in this impoi taut enterprise, and to coot, ibute,
by their attention .rod their councils, to the new moon-
ments which your Majesty will consecrate to the giur y
of letters and of France.

.4 your M.tjeta most humble, most obedient,
and most faithful set vans and subject,

SPAIN

The accounts from Madrid are rather copious than
satisfactory. The King of Spain has declared fresh war,
in a Royal Decree, upon Freemasons and all other secret
societies. All 'offices and professions are closed against
those who shall not, purge themselves on oath of the
crime of Masonry, &c. past and present. Indeed, it is
obvious that there is a new alarm. Ferdinand, it is
said, did not think himself safe at Madrid, and was pro-
ceeding to Burgos. At the same time, five battalions of
Royalist Militia were brought for his protection within
the environs of the capital. The popular displeasure
vented itself against him in his presence, at Cuenca, on
his way to Bacedon ; and in the latter place Spanish and
F ench soldiers quarrelled under his very windows.—
QuArrels between Serviles and Constitutionalists have
also become frequent,. even to the loss of lives. There
are additional details, but no fresh intelligence from
Andalusia. One thing seems
.certain, that the band
which occupied and proclaimed the Constitution at
Tarifa is not dispersed, but has rather ,retired into the
Sierra Ronda. There appeari sbme doubt who has been
the chief in this movement. General-TOrrijOS was men-
tioned : he is, however, we believe, now in London.

FROM THE COURIER FRANSAIS.
MADRID, AUGUST 12.
As to the enterprise of Torrijos, the following is all
that we can state positively :--" For four days past we
have observed that the Government has received cou-
riers from Andalusia, and dispatched others to that pro-
vince. Within this short space of time, four Privy Coun-
cils of Ministers have been held, over which the King
in person has presided, and at which the Governor and
Fiscals of the Council of Castile have been present.—
The cause of these meetings, and of the movements of
the couriers, is certainly the landing at Tarifa, and on
some other points within the lines of the camp of St.
Roche, effected by eight hundred officers and soldiers
of the disbanded Constitutional armies, having at their
head the Ex• General Torrijos, who was lately at Gibral-
tar. This handful of men have attempted to excite the
inhabitants to insurrection against the existing Govern-
ment. In some villages in the mountains of Ronda the
Constitutional stones have been again erected, and Tor.
iijos has distributed 3,000 muskets among the people.
The silence of the Journals as to this event has not
a little contributed to exaggerate its importance; but
the contents of two letters, received from respectable and
trustworthy persons, will give the best idea of the truth.
The first, dated from Cordova, says—" General Tor-
rijos, with 1,800 men, recruited at Gibraltar, has landed
at the camp of St. Roche. These troops are welt in-
formed, and in no want of arms. Torrijos has with
him the Ex-Colonel of Artillery, Ordonnez, and an Ex-
Political Chief called Lechuga. In the first village
(Gimena) into which these troops entered they killed
three monks and two priests who unfortunately fell into
their hands. Their first object was to set up again the
Constitutional stone. Fiona thence this band proceeded
to Tarifa, where some soldiers of the garrison joined
Torrijos, who traversed the country, and laid the vil-
lages under contribution. The news we have received
to-day informs us, that the measures taken by the Gen.-
Commandant of St. Roche, O'Donnell, and the intelli-
gence given to Torrijos, that the French troops sent
from Cadiz were rapidly approaching him, had induced
him to take the resolution of re-embarking. This body
has everywhere spread their proclamations, and we are
told that the conspiracy had ramifications not only in
several parts of Andalusia, but even at Seville. Some
persons have been arrested on suspicion." The other
letter, which is from Carmona, and of a later date than
the preceding, announces that 4, the expedition of Tor-
rijos consists of 800 men, who have with them upwards
of 2,000 stand 01 arms. The machinations of this Chief
still continue, because his band has been reinforced by
a great part of the garrison of Tarifa, who have ranged
themselves under his standard. A considerable num-
ber of malcontents have also landed on other points of
the Camp of St. Roche, and in about forty villages in
the mountains of Ronda, the Constitutional stone has
been replaced."
The Royalist Volunteers, with several field-pieces, set
out lately from Seville, in pursuit of some consideruble
bands of malcontents, which overrun that province.
The Pope, moved by the extreme state of misery and
total deprivation in which the monks who secularised
themselves in Spain are now placed, has ordained that
all those who desire to retake the flock, and return to
their original convents, may demand a Bull for this
purpose, which will be granted to theft). At the same
time, his Holiness invites the Bishops and Archbishops
to point out the churches in their dioceses into which
those who desire to continue in the same state of secu-
larisation may be admitted. The Apostolic Nuncio in
Spain is also authorised by the Holy Father to calm
and dispel the differences that have arisen between the
Government and the Bishops of Carthagena and As-
torga. These Prelates were appointed to their Sees
during the Constitutional regime, and received their
Bulls from Rome. The existing Government enjoined
them to cease their functions in the administration of
their dioceses; and the first was sent to the Penitentiary
San Pedro, and the second to a convent in Galicia. On
receiving this order, they addressed their complaint to
the Roman Pontiff; and in consequence the Pope, as I
have before stated, has charged the Nuncio with the
arrangement of the affair.

.
An individual has been whipped by the common exe-
cutioner, for the crime of blasphemy.

FIGUERAS, AUGUST 13.

A vielent conflict took place on the 3d of this month,
an the occasion of a local festivity at Villademot, a vil-
lage situated near to Figueras, between some young
persons of Royalist and Constitutional principles. A
profusion of blood flowed on all sides. One Constitu-
tionalist was taken away dead, and four were griev-
ously wounded.
On the same day, which was also one of a local fes-
tivity, a similar engagement took place at a less distance
than two leagues from our frontier, at a village named
Vieuze. There was much blood spilt, but happily no
death took place.

Mercantile letters have been received in town from
Litna, brought by way of Chili and Buenos Ayres,
dated the 18th of April, but they do nut mention any
political news.
Meserai was extremely susceptible of cold. His
friend Patru met him one morning, when it was freezing very
Lard. and asked him how he found himself? " I must run away
from you immediately," replied the historian, " for I am at L.
This enigmatical reply was explained to Patru. Mezerai kept be-
hind his arm-chair, immediately on the setting in of winter, a dozen
pair of stockings, ticketed from A. to M. On getting out of bed
he always consulted his barometer—and according to the greater or
less degree of cold, put on so many more, or fewer pair of stockings.
Thus, he bad on dam pais when he nut his friend Patna.
