-Considering the following particulars as worthy
of publication, I beg leave to send them you, with my full
permission to make them as public as you please :
About three years ago my wife was attacked with a very pain..
ful swelling in her leg,which in a short time broke out into seve-
ral ulcers; these were attended with so much pain and inconve-
nience that, for upwards of a year and a half, sha had scarcely any
ease night or day, although she applied many remedies, and had
the advice Of Ves+eral medical men; •Ai length we were strongly
recommended to try your. A NTISCQRBUTIC DROPS and

with difficulty she 'could walk across the flour, hut she bad not

TREATY OF LEOBEN.—Among the various objects
of Nature and Art which arrest the traveller's atten-
tion in Styria, not the least interesting is the re-
cord of BONAPARTE'S early prowess which stands in
the little garden of M. d'Ecx.mvALD, at. Leohen. It
was in this town that, after his armies had sustained
a signal defeat, the Emperor of GERMANY found
himself obliged to accept whatever terms the con-
queror was pleased to dictate, and the notable Treaty
of 1797 was the consequence. It was signed in the
above garden, where, to perpetuate the event, a small
square monument has been erected, having on the
top a figure of the Angel of Peace sounding a trum-
pet. Each of the four sides bears a Latin inscription,
which is subjoined in the regular order :

CURIOUS REASON FOR ADMIRATION,--A traveller
mentions, that of all modern heroes, the Duke Of
WELLINGTON is the most popular in China.; that, eih
is said, results not from the victories obtained by this
Nobleman, for about the battle of Waterloo the qbt-
j nese know but little, and care:still.less ; it is the'tilme
of the Noble Duke that pOssesses such a.Charm to
the ears of his admirers; it sonndi..and it is pro-
hatinced, very much like a wor4 of eltiorsc origin—
Wee-ling-tong. As the name, of lius tiero. thus pro-

ANECDOTE OF CYPRIAN.—.III6 Divine conducted
himself at the Court of Frederick 111. Duke of Gotha,
as if he had been a Lutheran Poi e, and was prone to
interpose in State affairs. Frederick's consort, Louisa
Dorothea, Princess of Saxe-Meiningen, was aware of
the impropriety and danger of this interference, and
used all her influence to weaken that of the Divine.
She succeeded ; but Cyprian revenged himself for it
openly in the pulpit, by a play on words : for when
speaking once on the different opinions of the world,
he exclaimed several times, " All evil comes from
Meiningen," .(which in German signifies opinion).—
Indeed, although the Duchess fulfilled all the duties
of a virtuous Princess, she was no favourite with the
Clergy, Who took every occasion to display their d:s.
like. Once, for*example, when the Duchess was in
the confessional chair, the Confessor addressed.her in
the following, words :—" Most serene,. most gracious
Duchess ! Preat,•gi eat, illustrious—Sinner !"
THE SILENT
.SPEAKEIL—As the brozircr of the
proud Duke of SOMERSET, who then filled the Chair
in the House of Commons, was returning from Bath,
his carriage was interrupted on the road by the neg.'
ligence and audacity of a west country waggoner.
Indignant at the ir.sult, he jumped out of his car.
riage and began to lay about him with his gold-
headed cane upon the head of the waggoner, who,
in his turn, soon plied his long -whalebone whip so
sharply, that hii Honour was glad •to retter, ex-
claiming—m Villain! do you know whq I am
Noa,".replierl the west country flogger : " who be'st,
after all?" " Why, sirrah, I am the Speaker 1"
" Then why didn'sz thee speak before P

THE DEVIL AND Da. FAUSTUS.—" The tradition
of the Devil and Dr. Faustus!, was derived from the
odd circumstance in which the Bibles of the first
printer, Fusttor Faust) appeared to the world. When
he had discovered this new art, and printed off a
considerable. number of copies of the 13iWe to imitate
those which were commonly sold iu manuscript, ha
undertoOk the sale of them at Paris. It was his ill-
terest to conceal this discovery, and to pass off his
priniii copies for manuscripts. But as he-was ena-
bled to sell his Bibles at 60 crowns, while the other
scribes demanded 500, this created universal astonish-
ment; and still more when he produced copies as
fast as they were waned, and evt n le:ed his p; ice.
Thil made a great sensation at Paris. The th
Ink increased y of the copies the wonder. Infor;
tions were given to the Magistrates against him
magician ; his lodgings were searched, and a !
number of copies being found, they were seize
The red ink—and Fust's red ink is peculiarly
liant—which embelliSlied his copies, was said ti
his blood ; arid it was solemnly adjudged that hi
in league with the Devil ! Fust was at length obi
to save himself from a bosifire, to discover his ar,

A Flanders Mail, which reached as at a late hour
this forenoon, has brought us an account of the open-
ing of the Sessioit of the States-General of the Nether-
lands, on Monday last, by the KING in person.
His MAJESTY went to the House in the•usual State
at one o'clock, and having taken his seat on the
Throne, with the Prince of ORANGE. on his right
hand, and Prince FREDERICK on his left, delivered
the following Speech:
" High and Mighty Lords !—lt is agreeable for
me to be able; at the opening of the Session, to give
yoU the renewed assurance that our foreign relations
have been constantly maintained by amicable nego-
ciation. We have reason to be grateful for the pre,.
cious advantage of peace which we continue to enjoy,
and may indulge the hope of preserving this blessing.
The ituernal prosperity of the kingdom has increased,
the productions of the soil are in general abundant,
and their low prices have been advantageous to the
lower classes. Meantime, many farmers suffer by
them. By my orders a special inquiry has been made
into their interests, considered in relation to those of
the consumers ; and the account which has been given
to me is the object of my serious consideration."
His .I.je,.ty proceeded to cbserve, that Commerce
a:1,1 Naviation, though uat restored to their former
otrred the most favourable prospects;
the Arts and. Sciences flourish ; many important pub-
lic v.-tn ks have been undertaken ; the system of reform
a•iapted for the isons is in progress; with respect
to the Colonies, their prosperity is daily increasing,
and the happiness cf the people becoming more se-
cure, and, since the reduction of Palembang, there
has.not beca the slightest interruption of public tran-
quillity. His Majesty expects that the Assembly will
complete the financial measures commenced in the
last Session: The Budget will be• founded on the
new system, which commences with the ensuing year,
anclmeastn es are taking that the transition may be easy.,
His Majesty is desirous to lessen the burden of the
subjwt, and the estimate to be presented will be be-
low drat of the present year. His Majesty is con-
vinced that the Assembly will proceed calmly in the
great work of National Legislation, in which such
satisfactory progress was made last Session. The
Code of Commerce will shortly be laid before the
Chambers, on whose co-operation in promoting the
welfare of his beloved subjects his Majesty relies
with implicit confidence.
His Majesty, after delivering this speech to the As-
sembly, left in the same State as he came.
The beauty and elegance of the new Hall of As-
sembly was generally admired.
The Augsburg Gazette now tells us, that Suli cer-
tainly capitulated, and that Corinth was still in the
hands of the Turks on the 18th of September. That
Journal is, doubtless, one of those that has most credit;
yet what shall we say of its eternal contradictions?

This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, with
Papers to the 13th inst. They are chiefly filled with
the proceedings •of the Cortes, and the intelligence
from the Brazils communicated to that Assembly.—
In the Sitting of the sth inst. the project of a Decree
for the rrganizatian of the Provincial Tribunals was
discussed. The intelligence from Brazil is interest-
ing.—The following are extracts :

SITTING OF THE CORTES, OCTOBER 6.

Accounts were communicated, brought by the
French galley Eliza, in thirty-five days from Per-
nambuco, and by the Portuguese brig Gloria, in ten
days from Fartll
Among the passengers on board the Eliza, was the
Brigadier Jose Correa de Mello, Military Governor
of the Province of Pernambuco, who stated, that on
the 3d of August there had been a general rising of
the people and troops of Pernambuco, in :which they
proclaimed unrestricted obedience to his Highness as
Prince Regent and perpetual Defender of Brazil, and

to the General Constitutional. Legislative Assembly
of that Kingdom: that all Europeans, suspected of
adhering to Portugalovere immediately arrested and
put into the prisons of the fortress, itt order, it was
said, to save them from the popular fury. The Go-
vernor, therefore, judged if proper to give up his
command to the Officer of highest rank in the Pro-
vince, Colonel Jose Camello Pessoa, who was after-
wards suspended by the Provisional Junta.
On the 29th of the same month, when. ha was al.
ready embarked, the expedition arrived which was
dispatched from Rio de Janeiro against Bahia, com-
posed of the frigate Union, and the corvettes Maria
da Gloria, Carolina, and Liberal, commanded by the
Chief of Division (Lamare). This Officer having
learnt at sea the expedition of the Calypso corvette,
feared to enter Bahia in a hostile manner, and pro-
ceeding immediately to the Alagoas, there landed,
with some ammunition, the Commander of the troops
of the expedition (Labatnur), and the next in com-
mand, and this was all he knew on this subject,
having sailed on the 30th—he delivered two bags
of dispatches.
The Captain of the Gloria said there had been a
tumult at the beginning of last month in the Island
of Terceira, about 2,000 persons having assembled
to oppose the exportation of corn from that island,
but the tumult was soon appeased by the Governor
and the Corregidor.
OCT. B.—M. Telqueiras, the Secretary, stated that
he had received a letter from Senor Jose Leno Cou-
tinho, with a Declaration to be presented to the
Cortes. Senor Coutinho stated he was going to Eng-
land, and offered his services.
In the Declaration, the Honourable Deputy gives
an explanation of his conduct as Deputy of Brazil.—
He had at first hesitated to sign the Constitution, but
being afterwards convinced that his signature would
only indicate that he had co-operated in drawing it
up, he signed, and this the more readily, as he did
not conceive himself by that act to bind his constitn-
ents, either directly or indirectly.—Thus far, he says,
his conduct was in conformity with reason ; but when

he was called upon to take the oath to a Constitution,
of the goodness of which he was not convinced, since
it is directly opposed to the interest and the will of
his Constituents, could he conscientiously take his
oath ? Certainly not. " This, therefore," says he,
44 is my resolution ; and if I am to lose by it the rights
of a Portuguese citizen, I shall certainly not lose those
of a citizen of Brazil. Brazil is my country, and my
duty is to conform to its will. (Signed)
" Lisbon, Oct. 6,1822. " JOSE LENO COUTINII0."
Referred to the Committee of the Constitution.

Ocr. 10.—The opinion of the Agricultural Com-
mittee on the necessity of importing 12,000 moyos
of foreign wheat was read, but the decision was
adjourned.

The French Papers of Monday.are not decisive as
to the engagement said to have taken place between
MINA and Baron d'EnoLLEs in the North of Spain;
and an article from Perpignan denies that any im-
portant battle had been fought, but adds, that the
moment was approaching at which a great shock
might be expected. The courier Francais, however,
asserts that official intelligence of the defeat of the
Army of the Faith had reached the Government
and the Journal de Paris gives the following extracts
from letters dated Bayonne, the 15th instant :
" We know to a certainty in this town that QUE-
SADA being entirely destitute of money, the defection
of his army is complete. The route of the Army of
the Faith at Barasuain on the 4th, is confirmed by
letters received from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port. Finally,
it is stated, that from fear of being surrounded, the
insurgents have abandoned the fort of Irati."
44 An extraordinary courier who passed through
here yesterday evening, from Madrid, announces
the arrest of three Ministers, PASIBLEY, MARTINEZ
de la ItosA, and ---."

According to commercial letters, CHou►tscnin
PACIIA has received the most formal orders from
Constantinople to do all in his power to penetrate
again into the Morea ; but that he has not at present,
nor can he collect the necessary means to attempt it.

A commercial letter from Salonica, of Septem-
ber 14, brought to Trieste by an Austrian vessel,
states that the Greeks, profiting by their maritime
superiority, have effected several debarkations on dif-
ferent points of the coast of Macedonia, less with an
intention of establishing themselves than of annoying
the Turks, and of obliging them to scatter their
forces. These demonstrations have already produced
the effect the Greeks intended, at least in part ; for
the PAcHA of Salonica has sent towards the Penin-
sula of Cassandra the troops which he was to send to
Thessaly.—The trade of Salonica is nearly nothing
at present.

News from Venice, of October 6, informs us that a
numerous corps of Greeks collected in the environs
of Vrachory, has penetrated into Thessaly, and me-
naces CHOURSCHID PACHA. to operate in his rear, if
he again advances towards Livadia.
The report of a naval contest, which terminated very
favourably for the Greeks, continues in circulation.
Letters from Bitoglia of September 20, announce
that CHOURSCHID PACHAs who is sometimes at La•
rissa and sometimes at Ternovo, has sent a corps of
4000 men towards Salona, but they were entirely de-
feated. CHOURSCHID has since then sent a great deal
of baggage to Bitoglia, and it is generally thought
he will establish his quarters in that town; which is

more probable on account of the plague raging at
Janina, and besides TAsars and DrpaArra are close
to his rear at 3ervizia, oitlyfourtraties from Larissa,
with. 7000 men. These. two Chieo!•have been for
three weeks in possession of Platacciones and have
probably prevented CHOURSCHID from personally en-
tering the Morea. All this information is in circula-
tion at Belgrade, and is regarded as true. A Tin k
of high rank said lately to a Christian, with much
naivete, " that the Turks now expect succours from
the' Congress against tho Greeks."

This forenoon we received Papers and other intel-
ligence from Bayonne to the 16th instant. Although
it is not certain that any decisive battle has been
fought, yet it appears that the Insurgents hare ex-
perienced some great reverses, and that their cause
has become hopeless. The following are extracts :
