IrEAKES GENUINE PILLS, justly famous for
L 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 soon convince the patient of the certainty of his speedy
recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more
convenient than this Remedy, for such as are obliged to go journics
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet ; and
sixtyrarsexperienee (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 Chronica IDisorders,
this Medicine has not its parallel. Upwards of 40,000 persons
of both sexes have been radically cured of the above cruel disor-
ders, within the last eight years. Prepared and sold by the sole

64 The History of Napoleon, and the Grand Army
during 1812, has just been published in your name.
I have read it with all the interest which such great
events, full of actions so glorious and heroic, must
inspire. But since you wish to add to your reputation
as a soldier that of an historian, why have you gone out
of the natural bounds of your subject ? Why, as you
have consecrated your pen to describe the lot of this
great army, have you thrown yourself into extraneous
discussion ? Your task is purely a military work ; why
then does it dabble in politics ? You were, you say,
a superior officer at Napoleon's head-quarters ; but you
soon forget that ti to "take up that of a diplomatist,
seeking to penetrate the mysteries of the Cabinets of
E..irope. You pretend to 'judge them without daring
Lopenly to condemn them, except one on which you
lean with all your force, as if a spirit of vengeance
animated you. Sweden is the Cabinet yam have chosen
to attack. But have you known its secrets, so as to
enable you to advance facts which you could not prove?
You,- besides, make use of r!xpressions unworthy of a
work which addresses itse:f not merely to i:s contem-
; ovaries, but to posterity also. You forget the difference
between the style of a history and that of a pampTaet.
Your language is no proof of truth.
"The rein of Gustavus IV. appears to you 'a series
of false or finaish political combinations.' Is it, then, in
181!.5, that any one will dare to say, in the faze of Eu-
rnFe and its Governments, that sustaining the legitimate
rights of thrones, the independence of S:ates, Wni their
commercial tights, is taking false views in politics,
or acting l'ke a madman? And tt hen the language
used is French, is i; correct to add. that ' ce Prince
semblait s'etre ntis a/a so.'de de CAngkterrc ?' We need
only refer to a Dictionary to shew the want of exact-
ness in this allegation, for a Pr ince does not put himself
a la solde of a foreign Power, unless he abandon his
armies to its disposal. Further on you advance that
lie himself had been the first to break the old alliance
between France and Sweden."f his is again a quid pro
quo, which proves that you are not at alt skilled in the
knowledge of history. About the period to which you
allude, there was no alliance between France and S.se-
d:n;
there was peace and friendship; the two nati:ns
freely traded together. It was the French Revolution.
that broke the alliance between the States ; the remain-
der was only the consequence of the unhappy events of
the year 1891; and since we must go back again upon
the traces of blood, we shall say it was the death of the
Duke d'Enghien, joined to the violation of the Germanic
territory, and a thundering (jiilniinant) note of Napo-
leon, that broke ties already weakened.
" You task Gustavus with obstinacy in the struggle
which he had to sustain, and yet you have been a very
close witness of conduct obstinate in a different way.—
'lt was then,' you say, 6 that his irritated people took
back the possession of power which had been ravished
from them in 1772 and 1788, by Gustavus 111. and of
which his successor had wade a bad use.' Wearied of
abusing the son. you attack the memory of the father,
ho, after having twice saved Sweder. from the. verge
of a precipice, maintained it in its independence and its
rights; and I must say, out of respect to his name, that
but for him Sweden would not exist this day. It is of
this power which he had inherited, that, according to
you, Gustavus IV. made so bad a use, when, following
the footsteps of his father, he fulfilled the oath he had
sworn to his country, by which he declared himself the
first citizen of a free people; and you accuse, before all
Europe, the defender of the rights of his nation—the
man who, in order to support those rights, drew his
sword en the 18th of March, 1809. I can scarcely be-
lieve my eyes.
" You conclude by saying that ' the Swedes broke
with England against their will ; nevertheless they
found themselves forced into the measure. On one side
they dreaded the power of the Russians, so near and so
victorious.' And a little before you declare that the
alliance of England was advantageous to Sweden, and
that unftntunate events forced her to abandon it. But

soon, softening your tone, you say that 6 the Swedes,
feeling themelves feeble and isolated, looked for a sup-
port.' I might stop here, and leave you to continue,
without taking any offence at it; but I love truth, and
I see you do nut wish to let go your prey for want of
knowing where to place your teeth to tear it. Not content
with having denounced, accused, and condemned Gus-
tavus, you seLk black•-n one of your old brethren in
arms—a warrior who has grown old in your camps and
under your colours.
16 After hiving given *Very detailed account of the.

We learn by the Ciptain of the ship Susquehannah,
arrived at Amboy from Brienos Ayres, that s few days'
previous to his sailing (the 8 h of July) a Brazilian
squadron, consisting of the frigate Maria da Glo?ia,
two corvettes, three gun-brigs, a schooner, and three
gen-boats, under the command of Admiral Lobez,
came to in the outer roads of Buenos Ayres. They
boarded most of the vessels that passed, under the pre-
tence of suppressing piracy. The Admiral, on his
arrival, sent an officer on shoe to demand that the
Government of Buenos Ayres should give up all cla.rns
to the Banda Oriental, and acknowledge the Emperor
to be lawful pos..essor of the same. The answer of tl e
Buenos Ayres Government was, that he must with-
draw his forces (torn betere that place, as a preimina:y
measure in negociation. The intercourse between
Buenos Ayres and Monte Video was open as usual, but
all trade in the latter place was at an end. Monte
Video was invested by 500 men under Major Ariba,
being a detachment ri the Patriot army, commanded'
by the General-in-Chief ad interim, Don Juan Antonio
Lavalleja, and consisting of upwards of 3.000 well
armed and well disciplined troops. General Lecor, the
Governor of Monte Video, had about 2,00,1 regulars,
besides which he had enrolled all the native residents of
the place under his command, and 1,500 regulars had
lately arrived from Rio Janeiro. Besides Monte
Video, he had possession of Colonia. A Provisional
Government had been established in the Banda Orien-
tal, who held their first sitting on the 14th of June last.
The Deputies from the different districts chose Don
Manuel Calleros for their Presiden., and Francisc.i
Oranjo, Secretary. Livalleja appeared before them,
and vas confirmed in the command in chief of the
army. A commission of finance was established; and'
also duties on geode, outwards and inwards, are levied.
The Commander-in-Chief stated to the Government,
that he depended for arms, ammunition, and other im-
plements of war, with satisfaction and confi.:ence, on
his credit and the influence of his friends in Buenos
Ayres. A communication from the Graed Marshal
of Ayacucho, General Sucre, advised the Congress of
,the United Provinces of Rio de la PI eta, that the troops
of the Emperor invaded and occupied the province of
Chiquitos, in Upper Peru, about the 26th of April List.
He also mentioned having learnt that insults were in-
tended on the pad' of the imperial naval force against
the national flag of the United Provinces. It was un-
derstood at Buenos Ayres that- the imperial invading
army of the province of Chiquitos only consisted of 700
men. General Sucre, having 15,000 at his disposal,
had dispatched a sulficient force to expel the invaders.
It was supposed that the imperial force was sent into
Upper Peru before the discomfiture of the Spanish Ge-
nerals at Ayacucho was known at Rio Janeiro, with a
view of Making a diversion in their favour. No doubt
was entertained in Buenos Apes, that the war with the
Brazils was to be a common cause of all the South
American Republics. General Alveor had left Boenos
Ayres on a mission to General Sucre, and a body of
troops was looked for at Buenos Ayres .from Urpc.

We have been favoured by mercantile friend with
a Lima paper of the 31st of March, which contains
the following interesting dectee, allowing foreigners to
transact their own business, and giving them all the
privileges enjoyed by the natives :
" Simon Bolivar, Liberator, President of the Republic of Colombia,
Liberator of the Republic of Peru, and intrusted with the su-
preme command thereof, &c.
" Considering that the trammels imposed on fo•
reigners in the territory of the Republic are a remnant
,;f the Spanish colonial system ; that they are notoriously
eluded, to the disgrace of the Government and the public
morals; that they are opposed to the liberal principles
that have presided over the organization of the Republic,
no less than to the practice of the most enlightened
nations; that I am authorized by the resolution of the
Congress of the 10th instant to determine in the matter
what I may deem most fit and proper ;—I have decreed,
and do decree as follows:
" 1. The third article of the provisional regulations of commerce
of the 28th September, 1821, is annulled.
" 2. Consequently foreigners are authorised to exercise their
mercantile industry, without the necessity of appointing as consignee
a citizen of Peru.
" 3. The prohibition of selling by retail, contained in the 25d
article of the same regulations, is to be understood with respect to
wholesale merchants or warehouse keepers only, whether nativt •
or foreigners. •
" 4. Foreigners are to enjoy the protection of the laws equally.
with Peruvians, and to be subject to the same taxes.
" 5. The Minister of State in the Revenue Department is charged
with the execution of the present decree. Let it be printed, pub.
fished, and circulated.

The proceedings of yesterday at the Meeting of
Pi opi ieters of Bank Stock, which we have inserted in
another column, appear to have satisfied all parties.
The Governor was questioned very closely by an emi-
nent Proprietor, arid replied with frankness and candour
to every interrogatory the subject matter of which fell
within his °Mehl knowledge. But there are some men
who never will be satisfied with answers as to facts,
and the worthy Proprietor alluded to seems one of those.
After inquiring what was the amount of notes now in

circ tilat on? and being informed that it was 18,200,0001.
iliCh la 400,0001. less than it ss as at this time last year;
alter fin Cher imitating how much Exchequer Bills had
•be:n sold (the produce of which coming into the Bank
diniinislies by so much the Notes outstanding), and
being told chat bilis to the value only of 670,0001. had
teen • so disposed of, and this not suddenly, but gra-

dully, in the cow se of three months—and that, in fact,
very little alteration had taken place in this respect,
One way or the other ;—after, moreover, demanding
what was the amount of money lent on the fecut ity of
mortgage, and being answered that it was only
1,400,0001. altogether ;—finally, after asking what
was the extreme amount of advances on the security
of Stock pledged at the Bank, and being informed that
it has baldly ever exceeded 480,000/. which was the
same as the amount advanced on the like security prior'
to the last half-yearly Meeting—after all this explicit
information, the insatiable querist proceeds with the
followinginterrogatory : 44 What has been the principal
occasion of the recent extraordinary fluctuation in the
Money Market ?" at which there was a full chorus of
laughter—and, no wonder. The worthy Proprietor
Might just as rationally have inquired of the Governor
of the 'rank of England what was the principal cause
of the late extraordinary rise in the price of Estex
calt ei? and s% hy were his Majesty's loyal subjects com-
pelled, since the last Meeting of Prop:ietors, to pay no
less than a shilling a pound for lamb and veal?—
We doubt not that the intelligent Governor h.ts a
shrewd guess in his own mind of the " principal cause"
of both c;rcultstances. but how the subject-matter of
eiller inquiry should fall within his official knowledge,
i; probably apparent only to the Gentleman who so
closely examined him.

It appears, however, that on the 22d September,
18=2.3, the outstar4ling issues of. the Bank 'had been
reducei to the very low point of 16,E•00,0001.
That since then, by advance of money on the se-
cu;hy of mortgage and Stock together, the circu-
lating sr,edidm had been increased 1,880,0091. from
st !licit, however, is to be abated 670,0001. called in by
the sale of Exchegiltir Bills, leaving the increase only
t,ato.ooei. and tlx vital circulation thus augmented
becomes 18,010,0001. so that the Bank, in the course of
the I.st two yiars, has only enlarged its discounts by the
very.inconsiderable suar of 190,0001. Truly, therefore,'
did we 'all along surmise, that the recent fall in tte

prices of Stock:, and their present stationary con.thion,
were attributable to c ithes totally independent of the

This morning we received Hamburgh Papers to the
17th inst, and Dutch Journals to the 20th. Their con-
tents ate uninivrtant, and rather relate to the domestic

than political affairs of Europe. The following ale
extracts:

BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 18.

Major-General Count Von Bentinck lately went to
Liege to try the new method invented by him of load-
ing cannon. The trials, which have been made with the
greatest care, by the artillery of that city, prove, that
less powder is required, that the aim is much more
sure, and th.tt the pieces will be longer serviceable.

Accounts have been received at Antwerp from the
East Indies. Colonel Stuers, Resident and Military
Commander at Padang, is appointed Comurissoner of,
the Government to take possession, in his MAjesty's
name, of Fort Mailborough and Bencoolen, ceded to
us by England in the late treaty. The expedition con•
sists of a corvette and a brig, with 400 men on board.
Ai won as our fl Ag is hoisted at Bencoolen, M. Stuers
will go to Natal, to unite,that also with our possessions,
by which the whole of the west coast of Sumatra,
which we formerly shared with England, will be sub-'
ject to our authority only. Perfect tranquillity pre-',
vailed ar Padang when the letters came away.

By the arrival of a Jamaica Mail, we have received
Papers to the 10th of August. It will be seen that the
Mexican Government suspects an attempt to introduce
Spanish produce into Mexico, and that they have taken
steps to prevent it. The following are extracts from the
Jamaica Courant of the Ist of August:
