ri'ESTIMONIES of the beneficial qualities of the
CORDIAL BALM of GILEAD:
To Dr SOLOMON, Gilead-house, near Liverpool.
have a circuinttance to mention to you which will speak
loudly in praise of your incomparable medicine the Cordial Balm
of Gilead : Mr. Davies, of Spring-hill, Steward to Lord Co-
ventry, having been afflicted for a long time with the most ex-
crutiating pains in his legs, back, &c. which confined him to his
bed, and nearly brought him to the grave, declared to me that
" his life seas not worth a seven-shilling-piece" when he had
recourse to your medicine, which soon relieved him, and by a
l little further perseverance in taking it, he is now restored to per-
feet health, and was at my house yesterday.

Although a very young man, I was reduced to such a state of
debility, in consequence .f a nervous complaint, as scarcely to he
able 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 great depression and lowness of spi-
rits. In this miserable situation I had recourse to your Cordial
Balm of Gilead, and bought a small bottle from Mr. Smith, 38,
North-Bridge, your Agent in this City, (to whom reference may
be had) from which I derived so much advantage as to be able in
the course of a few days to resume my employment; since that
time I have taken several bottles more. from which 1 have also
experienced similar benefit, so much so, that to your medicine,
under Divitat PauviDaNcE, I look upon as the preservation of
my life. Accept, therefore, (War Sir, of my mast graceful thanks;
and believe me, with respect, your moat obedient servant,

WHEN PROFESSIONAL MEN of Education
and Responsibility deviate from the General System by
the selection of a particular branch, the sanction of long continued
success is the best criterion of superiority.
Fourteen years have we devoted our practice to the exclusive
treatment of two disorders, and the successful result of our plan
gives us additional ardour to oppose, as far as we are able, the ra-
vages of those complaints which are the most important in dig
catalogue of human infirmities.
After initiation into every branch of practice, we contemplated
the sufferings of Siphylitic and debilitated l'atients, and formed *
wish to rescue individuals from the ignorance of uneducated men,
or the equally dangerous precipitancy of general practitioners.
The disorders, to the cure of which we have devoted our attene
don, comprise every species of Venereal infection, whether of a
recent or long duration : All kinds of debility, whether
arising from the habits of school-boys, or the indulgercies of ma-
ture age.--Numerous' diseases are the result of ignorance, or
haste in the treatment of a sample Gonorrlicce, and it not unfree
quently happens, that the seeds of life are poisoned by the indis-
cretion of an unguarded hour.
By a superior method such complaints are easily cored; and
even where others have failed, we trust that we may presume to
offer a radical re-establishment.
Few, however, are the cases of complicated distress in this dis.
order, compared with the calamitous situations of men, who,
trom an indulgence in a Solitary Vice, or the prevalent gaieties of
a fashionable life, acquire that state of debility, which is the un-
avoidable consequence of such pernicious habits.
Where the unhappy sufreter broods over his misery, but carr-
ell)/ conceals his misfortune, is tu:ty be some consolation for hint
to know, that although i: be an object of doubt or ueccrtainty
with other practizioners, the removal of these deficiencies by the
gradual progress of renovation's the acquiremen, of our experience.
It the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begun to reduce manly
vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by an early counteractioa
oft his languid state,and in t hose cases, no great difficulty will occur.
But where this deficiency hes fer years existed, a proper perse-
verance is indispcnsihly requisite to revive the slumbering sparks
of life, and to re-animate the. constitution.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

FOUNTAINBLEAU, OCTOBER SO.

Yesterday a Deputation, sent by the Senate of
Milan, and composed of Counts Moscati, Guicciardi,
and Testi, were adm:tted to an audience of the Em-
peror and King, who was surrounded by the Officers
of State, and seated prk. throne..--
Count Mostati
delivered the following OratTon
Address of the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy was
preseJ:ted :

S.ty--When the Italian Senate. orije.re4 that a
Ideputition. should be sent.to:lay holnlibi sat tile Toot
of youT,s,brone their deep sense of-gratitnAefortheir
Institution, we were far from thinking tliat other mo-
tives still more powerful, and to the vATIOIe of Italy
far more important, should have required Oti7our part,
and that of the nation, the expressitin of Still livelier
Itimtiments.

" I,\ were then to lay respectfully before TOT the
particular opinion of the Senate ; we now must add,
the sincere exultation, the vivid gratitude, and the in-
delible obligations which all your Italian subjects owe:
you,,foi having in so short a time treed their country
from '.those who dared to. call your reign and your
kingdoVti-dreams and Chimeras.
Tn creating a Senate in Italy, you have surroun-
ded your throfie. with greater splendour ; -whilit your
last victories'. hive saved its existence and vindicated
its diglity.
44 In,the short lapse of a few years, you have done
snore for us than our former Governinentsin the course
Id 404: -With The intention of fOundPne a new dy-
nasty in Itaiy,. you formed. the great design of re-
hewn% a nation worthy of being ruled by you. Thence
spring. those Jaws, those liberal political dispOsitions,
those military institutions until now unknown among
sis. %Hence: we have seen new assistance. and encou-
ragement afforded to . the sciences, the arts, and to
ptiblic insttuction fin a wind; we have been blessed
with all that your great 1-renitis could think fit to con- i
atitute a flourishing Empire. •
" Former Governments dreaded 'the diffusion of
*nowledge as much as theunfolding of:ltalian spirit.
Greater, because more enlightened and more humane,
you ha ve h astened to issue such directions on every point
tat your Italy shall be once• more cultivated, and its-
ancient spirit revised. We dare to assure you, Site,
that your paternal cares shall not have been displayed
in vain.

" The nations that form the Kingdom of Italy,
that first seat of your triumphs, express their grati-
tude towards you for all the benefits which you have
till now lavished upon them: They are 'proud of
being able, under your auspices, to:coroperate in the
secomplishrnent of your great designs.
The cuthuSiastic ardour_ with which they enlist
under your binners, that noble pledge of the revival
of the glory of their ancient name, since your gene-
rosity has formed them again into a nation, and the
praises with :which you have deigned to honour their
first efforts, far dearer than the most flattering enco-
miums of common men, will shew to astonished Eu-
rope?hov deeply they feel the greatness of the benefits
yon ..twee• bestowed upon them, and how sincerely
they are attached to their august Sovereign and be-
nefactor; .

Is. Happy is.the Senate to be able, the first time it
bas.the honour of addressing its Monarch, to express
there sentiments, and the
_disposition of the
Italian people. And let us also add, that, in at-
tachment tor your sacred person, admiration for your
sublime genius end• your glory, the Senate is not sur-
pissed by any one. • -
a If, in the midst of subjects so elevated, the De-
puttei of your Italian Senate be permitted to utter
their own sentiments, we will tell you, that honoured
fora length of time with -your favour, and loaded
with the pledges of your beneficence, we cannot but
cperience the same universal sentiment of gratitude
which v►e would express if we could find words equal
to.so high a subject."
The address of the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy
was then read. Notwithstanding Count Moscati's
boast that the ancient spirit of Italy revives, it will
be difficult to trace any of that dignity of thought,
and noble disdain of' flattery which characterised pa-
triotic Rome, in the folloviing tissue of servile sen-
timents and adulation.

" SIRE—By the exertion of their genius and the
force of arms, the most celebrated heroes of antiquity
laid the foundation of empires, which, possessing the
seeds of their own aggrandisement, did not, until after
the lapse of ages, reach the summit of power and
glory. Your Majesty, on the contrary, who towers
so high above all ancient and modern names, was
-destined to establish kingdoms and empires, and to
endow them, at the very moment of their foundation,
with forms and means perfect in themsekes, and best •
calculated to produce instant happiness in the interior,'
and power abroad. As Minerva issued armed from
the head of Jove, the kingdom of Italy, constituted
by ynu alone, Sire, has received from your immortal
genius, in the course of a few years, those armies,
that since the long slumbers of Italy have been!
broken, renew in the fields of war the glorious deeds
of former heroes ; those salutary laws Ivhich, preserv-
ing all the provident spirit of ancient wisdom, corn- I
prebend all that can tranquillize and render modern
nations happy—those protecting Magistrates, who,
under your auspices, watch over the observance of
the laws, and •th.e.rrovisions institute&by you alone.
—While considering. all these, we may justly say, ,
that in the course of • a lnstie not yet accomplished,
the kingdom of Italy has already run through a ca-
reer of several ages.. Butt in the midst of the splen-
dour of so • many illustrious institutions, your deep
judgmet t conceived a still greater improvement. We
then bel-2:d the creation c.l a Chief Magistrate, who, I
incessantly directed by your counsels, and subject to
your authority alone, embraces within the sphere of
his watchful care all th;;t is most sacred and solemn
in the constitution of a kingdom.
" Ever since the first days of the existence of the
I !an kingdom, your Majesty, in the depths of your
om, had not only formed the plan of creating
welt a Magistrate, but had at o prepared to carry
an into effect in a State coin tiltati(in, and you
have at length condescended to impart to him a
great. r exh.nt of power, an,! all that train of spendour
that flow s epc.a him frkln your resplendent throne.
it d 111.2 thought of so man) s';;nal acts of bene-
fice, ce s yur part, the Senate do not undertake at

Moniteurs to they'd instant have arrived, but their
contents are not very interesting. On the 29th ult.
NAroLzoN gave audience to a deputation sent by
the Senate of Milan, composed of Counts MOSAATI,
GUICCIARDI, and TESTI. Seated on his throne, be
listened to an oration in Italian by' Count Masc.Am
and received the Address of the Senate of the King-
dom of Italy. These documents are published in the
Moniteur in the Italian language. We have given a
translation of them in a preceding column.
We have also received Dutch papers to the sth inst.
but their contents are of little importance.

Private letters have been received from Paris which '
state, that an idea exists of restoring the ancient Mo-
narchy of Poland, in favour of EUGENE BOVA PARTE,
now Vice-Roy of Italy. It is also said that JOSEPH,
soi-disant King of Spain, is to return to his former
thrcne at Naples, with considerable additions of terri-
tory. According to the same report, Spain is to be
again divided into her ancient Kingdoms, which are
to be distributed among the favoured Generals of
NAPOLEON.

We do not pledge ourselves for the truth of these
statements ; but the rumours were very prevalent in
Paris.

Letters have also been received from Dieppe and
Caen, of the dates of the 26th and 27th ult. No-
thing of any consequence had transpired in the neigh-
bourhood of those places ; but it seems that the Law
of Conscription has of late been executed with dimi-
nished severity.

We have already mentioned that dispatches were
received iron► Marquis WELLESLEY by the last con-
veyance. It has been statedin some of the daily pa-
pers that they contained answers to the overtures lately
made to his Lordship, but we believe erroneously.—
His Lordship had before informed Ministers that he
could give no answer till he should be upon the spot,
and he is expected in London in a few days.

Almost all the letters that we have seen from Ca-
diz speak in undisguised terms of the general discon-
tent of the people of Spain, excited, not by enemies,
but by the mysterious inactivity and supineness of
the Supreme Junta. They complain not only of the
indolence of Government, in respect to the important
functions committed to them for the protection of the
Empire, but of the assiduous solicitude with which
information is suppressed as to all the operations of
the French and Spanids armies ; so that the natives
are neither acquainted with the peril to which they
are exposed, or with the means that ought to be
adopted to avert that danger.

The subjoined letter contains some interesting par-
ticulars relative to the miserable condition of Madrid,
and the sufferings of those who have the misfortune
to fall into the hands of the French :

" CADIZ, OCTOBER 1$:

" I have just seen a Gentleman who has made his escape from
Madrid, and has arrived at this place. I say made his escape, be-
cause, if the French had bad the slightest idea where he was going,
they would rever have permitted him to pass the gates, where
spies are always placed to watch those who go out as well as those
who come in.

" This Gentleman gives a miserable account indeed of the
state of the inhabitants of the capital. The poorer and Industrious
class of society unable to procure employment, without the bare
necessaries of life, lie in the open streets in squalid masses of dirt
and wretchedness, while the richer part of the community vies
with each other in fulsome adulation of the upstart King. Unless
they are found ingenious in this art they are treated as suspicious
persons, and many have been put under arrest.
" A new• police has been established in Madrid, which has the
power at any lime in the night or day to enter tote house, of the

inliabitants, and with or without cause to 'me them am...

effects, and carry theta to a oomanon jail, where they may roger
sonte time, and then perhaps get their discharge without any
reason being given for their commiral.
" This is by fat worse than what they called the horrible in-
quisition, viiich they seem to have abolished only to introduce a
new system of espionage and tyranny.
" Many parties of Spanish ptisoners bad of late been brought
into Madrillawnr of_whom were treated humanely, and others
uffii-ogieVerify. The parties, although more frequent,

after an absence of some weeks, and was attended as usual by a
numerous guard. Great complaints are made against the parties
of yeasants and patriots who Intercept the Couriers frOm•this
city, and vengeance is • denounced against those who are thus
guilty of what they call aolaas Y.. Several Spaniards who were
not long ago taken id the attempt, vere publicly executed for it
in Madrid. All the news the Citizens hear, Is from the French,'
who now and then tell them in a sort of threat of the speedy ar-

been published by thtlmw_tqngl ordering a number of Spaniards

Iromour preVaits 4.ooltenburgh, -onthe.ainhoribl of
communications from Stockholm, that the four prin-
, cipal powers of the Baltic, Russiajtveden,Pentnark,
and Prussia, had come to a determination to. close
that sea against the shipping pt. every other.nation,
with the exception of the French. This rumour:is in
some degree confirmed by two Gentlemen who have
just arrived from Riga, and who touched at' Sweden
in their voyage to this country. It is perfectly
mani-
fest, that if such an arrangement has been made, it
is to be attributed to the intrigues of BONAPARTE,
whose projects are constantly directed to fetter, and
ultimately to destroy the trade of this country. It is
a favourite project, which he has long contemplated,
and which since the peace of Tilsit he has probably
considered to be within his power to accomplish.

By the Matterosa, a vessel from the River Plata
and Rio de Janeiro, arrived at Mazarion in Cornwall,
letters of the l6tll of August have been received from
Buenos Ayres. They inform us that the terms of the
Proclamation of the new Viceroy, CISNEROS, respect.
ing the admission of ships into the Rio de la Plata,
had been rigidly enforced. Several vessels under
English and Portuguese colours had appeared in the
river, both with cargoes and in ballast, but were all
refused admission, and consequently could neither dis-
charge nor be allowed to load ; they were ordered
away within twenty-four hours, with an assurance
that, without a licence from the mother country, it
would be impossible to have leave to enter. It ap-
pmrs thett there still exist, in South America, two
parties, one of which is favourable and the bther averse.
to the new Viceroy ; both these parties were strong,
but the preponderance appeared in &your of the new
order of things.
