-
OF all diseases incident to mankind, those of the
nervous kind are the most complicated and difficult tosses.
A veleme would not be sufficient to point out their various ap.
pearanees. They imitate Almost every disease, and are seldom
alike iu two different persons, or even in the sante person as
different times..•—l'roteus like, they are continually changing
shape; and upon every fresh attack, the patient thinks lie feels
symptoms which be never experiene.sel before. Nor do they only
affect the body; the mind likewise suffers, end is often thereby
rendered extremely weak and peevish. The low spirits, timo—
rousness, melancholy, and sickliness of temper, whitlf genersity..
attend nervous disorden, induce many to believe that they are
entirely diseases of the mind ; but this change of temper is rather
a consequence than the cause of nervous diseases.
The CORDIAL BALM of GILEAD is decidedly the most
elegant and efficacious medicine ever yet discovered for nervous
diseases and shattered coostitutions, consumptions, weakness of
sight or memory, hypochondria, trembling. of the mind, sexual
debility, stomach and bowel complaints, and all other 'libelee*
arising front a relaied state of the nervous system ; which are too
often brought on by dissipation in youth, and the gross vadatics
of those rules which prudence dictates for the preservation of
health, and the laying a foundation for a long and happy life,
witla'a firm Ind strong constitution.

THE EVENING STAR•

LONDON.,

FRIDA'Y,.MAY 17, 1816.
-Wismar or WALSS 11011.110:110l4111 at the Banks

Dutch, Hamburgh, and Flanders Mails arrived
this forenoon, from which we have selected various
interesting articles. Our Readers will recollect the
Treaty, concluded some time agovbesween the Em-
perors of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA, and the King of
Pamela, known by the namearf the Sacred Alliance,
sad which, by litany, was dreaded as threatening
terrible evils to Europe. On this subject the Itm-
peror of RUSSIA has addressed to all the Courts of
Europe an interesting Declaration, stating the purity
of the motives of the contracting parties; and the ul-
timate and only object of the Alliance to be the
maintenance and extension of universal peace, and
the security of the internal happiness of States—and
not only to cultivate and confirm universal sen-
timents of Peace, Concord, and Benevolence among
Christian nations, but to extend these blessings
as far as their .influence may enable them to those
nations which do not profess the Christian Religion.
At Petersburgh the latter part of this Declaration is
interpreted to allude particularly to • the Ottoman
Porte, and of course to a pledger that the views no,
toriously known
,to have been entertained by former
Monarchs respecting the subversion of that Power, at
least in Europe, have now been relinquished. The
words a internal haliftinesesof Stake," will still be ob-
jected to by those who persist in judging of the sin-
cerity of Monarchs by the evidence of History. All
European Treaties have for niany centuries been en-
tered into in the name of the Trinity, but bow lightly
has this sacred oath been held 'when interest or pas-
sion piompted a breach. So, far the doubts of ob.
jectors rest on grounds Which can only be rendered
nugatory by a continued experience of good faith.
When the copy of the Sacred Alliance was first
submitted to our Readers, we ventured to give an
opinion that it • promised benefits to mankind,• and
we stated our reasons. It is the first European
Treaty in which we have seen the Parties voluntarily
confess, that in the previous rule of their States they
had not been influenced, as they ought to have been,
by the Principles of the Christian Religion. The
document was entirely extra-official. There were
no difference": to adjust—no boundaries to settle—,
no misunderstandings to be removed : the parties
were at. peace among themselves, and with all the
• world, after long, grievous, and desolating wars.—
The maintenance of peace at such a crisis could not
but occupy their minds, and nothing could be more
natural, though, perhaps, nothing has been less usual,
than to examine with some seriousness the cause that
had brought their long and dreadful afflictions.
Should it be thought impossible that Monarchs
should ever think seriously ? or, thinking seriously,
that they should never humbly confess their errors ?
We did consider that Treaty as such a confession—
as a confession which held out a reason of hope that
they meant to amend, and as highly honourable to
themselves.

We confess that the evidence of past experience
weighs heavy in the scale against our hopes; but all
the circumstances of the moment and of the Treaty
taken into consideration, we are inclined still to give
them credit for sincerity; and to consider the Treaty
as an evidence of moral change impressed on the go.
vernments of the earth. It is not possible, in the:
nature of things, that Monarchs alone should receive
no profit front experience. It is true that of all
men they have the least chance to benefit by the
lessons which political convulsions are calculated to
afford, owing to the pains that are often taken to de.
ceive them ; but let us giVe them the credit of poi.
seising common sense as well as other men. The
late convulsions of Europe were of no common com-
pletion. The great machine could often not be
directed without the personal interference of the Mo-
narchs themselves : nay more, many of them were
made dependent parts of the machinery, and compel-
led to act by the relation they were placed in by. a
muter in respect to the other parts in melt circum-
stances, that they were made to feel their situation
and compelled to think.—The result we firmly
believe will be—has bees, a great moral change
in the condition of Europe !
The sacred alliance we hold as an evidence of this
,change; and we entertain no doubts, if these Mo-
narchs will only continue to act under the influence
Of the conviction with which they were then im-
pressed, that the future happiness of themselves and
their subjects will be aughtented. The chief
danger to which they are now exposed, is that of
being led to act indiscreetly respecting the in-
ternal affairs of their neighbour's territory. Let
them ever recollect that men in power are apt to
abuse it, and be more ready to admonish their brother
Monarchs to Cultivate a good understanding with
their own subjects, than to march their troops to
assist them in enforcing obedience to claims ani
mandates which may be founded in injustice. Let
them do this, and their subjects will love and obey
them s they will live io 'peace, their subjects will
be-happy,. and their States will become rich and

BRUSSELS, MAY It.
Several General and Superior Ogees* belonging
to the several carpi of the right wing of the army of
occupation, who have been to Cambray to confer
with the Doke of Wellington, are now gene back to
their quarters.
The Duke is still at Cambray, and is very Much
employed. In the courses:of the 7th and Bth be dis.
patched numerous courieri to London, Paris;Sedan,
and'Alsace. Coasiderable changes will be made in
the positions of the Allied Army, but with no other
view than to relieve those districts which have suf-
fered the most by the pressure of the troops. Mean-
time the British troops cantoned in Picardy and Ar-
tois are already changing their positions. The num-
ber of men returning to England is now stated to fie
as high as 3000, and that of those that are expected
:from England, and some of whom are already ar-
rivet', holm 4 to 5000.
The same letters state, that it is. very uncertain
whether the Duke of Wellington will gato England;
it seems that he will soon go back to Paris, and in
the month of June inspect the whole line from Givet
to Colmar.

Letters from Lille state, that in the eosi's of the
department of the North, which are not occupied by
the Allies, some regiments of infantry and cavalry
are expected which have been organised in Normandy
and Brittany. They are particularly to increase the
garrisons of Lilly, Douay, and Arras, without, how-
ever, exceeding the number ixed by the Treaty of ,
Paris. The chief cause of this increase must be looked
for in the necessity nf the relieving the National
Guards, who still do the duty with -so much seal.
The Custom-house line on the side of France is to
be strengthened in order to oppose a more efentoat
obstacle to the smuggling.
