3. The price, to pubscribers, Three Guineas; and to Non-sub-

It is surprising that a work so very curious and interesting, and
of such acknowledged authority as Prince's Worthies of Devon,
should have been allowed to remain out of print for so many
year). Copies are now become so exceedingly scarce that they
are not to be purchased under from Ten to Twenty Guineas. It
is therefore conceived that a new Edition, accompanied with
Notes of Explanation and additional information, respecting the
Families me named in the work, an Index (which is a desideratum
in the original), and a sketch of the Life of the Author, cannot
but be acceptable to the Public' .
N. B. There are upwards of Five Hundred already sub-
scribed for; and as the work will be public la October, all
persons desirous of subscribing are requested to transmit heir
names to the publishers before the rllst at August, When the sub-,

and Junior Officers of every kind of Force, and cannot fad to
be read with avidity throughout the English Army.

nEAUTY of Countenance, and regularity of Fea-
tures, are allowed to distinguish the British Fair; but the
Proprietor of BUTLER's TOOTH POWDER would beg leave
to remind his Country-women that the lustre of their Cl.anns
i.ses half its influence where the Teeth are discoloured, or chew
a rotten and unhealthy appearance—this is the more inexcusable,
as the present preparation affords the infallible means of removing
every blemish of the enamel, and is safe in its applicatlon, being
composed of Vegetables.
It is recommended so the attention of all ranks,- as clearing
away every imperfection, either in the colour, or the decoy of the
enamel of the Teeth, as rendering the Breath sweet and detects•
ble, and making the Gums of their proper shape and vermillion
hue; and a certain rreventive against the Tooth-ache. No com-•
position of this kind ever brought
.forward to pubic notice, has
met such universal approbation; and the Proprietor has to bomt
that it is in daily use of Royalty itself.

sented as improvements the public are requested observe,

To .Dr. SOLOMON, Gilesd-house, near Liverpool.
Edinburgh, Nov. 29, 18016.
s iz must be very gratifying to you to be informed
of the great efficacy of your medicines, I beg leave therefore
to band you the. folio Wing particulars, which I am anxious shat
yOu make public, hi order that others iu similar circurn•tances
may have immediate recourse to such a valuable rerntd; as your
Cordial Balm of Gile:74.
Although a very young man, I was reduced to such a state of
debility, In consequence et a nervous cesep'airt, as scarcely to ha
to walk, and totally unable to follow my usual employment.
I had many other disagreeable symptoms, particularly a violent
pain in.the stomach, with a
,rent depression and lowness of spi-
rits. Its this miserable situation I had recourse to your Cordial
Balm of. Gilead, and bought a small bottle from Mr Smith, 88,
North-Bridge, your Agent in this City, (to whom reference may
be had) from which I derived to much advantage as to be able in
the coarse of a few days to resume my employment ; since that
time I have taken s •veral bottles more. from which I have also
experienced similar benefit, so much . so, that to your medicine,
under DIVINE PROVIDENCE, I look upon as the preservation of
my life.* Accept, therefore, dear Sir, of my mast grateful thanks;
and believe me, with respect, your most obedient servant,
JOHN SHORT.
To Dr. SOLOMON, Gilead-house, near Liverpool.
' St a—l have a circumstance to mention to you which will speak
loudly in praise of your incomparabk mediciuu the Cordial Balm
of Gilead : Mr. Davies, of Spring-hill, Steward to toed Go-
ventry, having.been afflicted for a long time with the most et-
crutiating pains in his legs, back; &c. which confined him to his
bet', and nearly brought, him to the grave, declared to me that
" his life was not wurih4a seven-shilling-piece" when he had
recourse to your medicine, which soon relieved him, and by a
little further perseverance in taking it, he is now restored to per-
fect health, and was at my house yesterday.

'e learn that it is reported there
:en nominated, to arrange the in-
corporation with the effects of the Crown, of all the
lands belonging to the clergy, both secular and re-
gular, and to grant pensions to all the clergy, in-
cluding the prelates ; but that this nomination has
been made secretly, as bad consequences are appre-
hended from this measure.

many mennetory persins prognosticate iil of these
operations ; though nothing has been lost, and our
situation has not worse than it was a fortnight
ago. Has the enemy then received fresh succours ?
If Victor had possessed an army superior to our Estre-
maduran army, would he have abandoned that pro-
vince, so important, from its situation, for the con-
queseof the Andalusia: and Portugal ? And can his
union with Sebastiania, put him in so respectable a
condition, that he can oppose our army, united with
the English and Portuguese ? If he before could not
offer battle to our army, and retired from his advan-
tageous positions, can he do it now that Cuesta has
redoubled his forces, and that he will be aided by the
army of La Mancha, and by the zealous support, in
men and effects, of• all those who, knowing that our
situation is more critical than ever, discharge the sa-
cred obligation of assisting their country in its ex-
treme danger.
It is said that Empezinado is in the neighbourhood'',
of Burgos ; undoubtedly to take an account of the
Frenchtfied persons, who are anticipating the march
of their dear allies ; and his examinations will be very
interesting. This pliant patriot will be a terrible
scourge to the enemy, if he retreats; for on his march
there will be many stragglers who cannot follow with
precipitation ; and all these will be the victims of this
intrepid Castilian.
(From dispatcher of the 28th.)—Our head quarters
are transferred to Santa Elena. The Junta of De-
fence has been fixed in Real Carolina. The enemy
has made no movement, and his advanced posts are
beyond Mantanares.

( From di:patches of the 30th.)—Tho army of La
Mancha continues in its position. The towns of Al-
magre and Ciudad Real are free from the enemy.
The Central Junta has granted Venegas the rank of
Lieut.-General, in consideration of his great services.
