IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

THE Advantage the Public must always derive
from regularly educated professional men directing almost
exclusively their studies to one species ot malady, was never more
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraor-
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years Messrs.
Cu R RIE and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his lajesty's service, have
made the Venereal Ditcase the particular obj.•ct of their investi-
gation, and are happy in having discovered a medicine superior to
mercury, in the cure of that complaint ; it is sufficient to observa,
that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite to those
of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of
the virus, in its most confirmed stages, yet it sloes not in the least
injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it renovates the system
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates di-
gestion; thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constitu-
tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre-
serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores ;tweak
and debilitated one to its natural strer.gth and vigour. Number-
less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of this
medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from an excess
of conjugal or illicit pleasure, or front the more in►idious, though
not less destructive, Indulgence of incautious youth of both sexes
in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy variety of
disorders which are the consequence oft solitary vice, there are
none more afflicting than that distre►sing state of debility and de-
ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state; the
unhappy sufferer broods (per his misfortune, ashamed to seek re-
lief, until lie is reduced to such a state of weakness as to render
life oppressive. To such persons it must be a consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode u:
treatment, he restored to that greatest of all human blessings ;
strtmg, manly and vigorous constitution.
In all cases of debility, deficiency, from whatever cause arising.
as well as in every species of venereal infection, Messrs. Currie
and Co. may be consulted by patients of either sex with the
greatest secrecy, and ho•!our, at their house, No. 107, Hatton
garden. Patients in the country, de-editing the u•
• 'heir complaints; by letter post paid, enclosing a Bank note, will
have the necessary medicine and advice sent to any part of Cie

Extracts from two official communications from
Marshal General Lord Viscount Wellington, to the
Secretary of Government Don Miguel Pereira For-
jaz, of the Ilth instant.
" The enemy crossed the river Arava on the 4th
instant with a considerable force, and compelled Bri-
gadier-General Craufurd to fall back with his ad-
, vanccd guard to the neighbourhood of Fort Concep-
tion, which had been previously occuilieJ by a part
of the infantry of the third division. On this occa-
sion, Captain Kauhenburg and Ensign Cardeman met 1
with an opportunity rf distinguishing themselves, at
, the head of a small detachment of the Ist regiment
!of Hussars, by charging, with the utmost gallantry,
an enemy's corps far superior in number. The third
battalion of Portuguese Chossenrs also found an op-
! portunity, under the command of Colonel Elder, of
displaying their steadiness 'and courage during the
said movement of the advanced guard, and in several.
skirmishes with the enemy. . .
1" Since I wrote to your Excellency, this dl I have
I received intelligence of the surrender of Cil.lad Ro-
drigo, which took place yesterday. A large and
! practicable breach having been made, the enemy was
prepared for a general assault, but'Marshal ,ley hay-
-1 ing offered terms of capitulation, thy were accepted
by the garrison, which accordingly surrendered.
1 " The enemy took up a position in front of the said
place on the 26th of May ; completely invested it on
the 11th of June ; opened his trenches on the 15th
1
of the same month, and cormenced to batter it on
the ‘2lth ; and when we consider the nature and posi-
tion of the place, the defects of its fin tifications, the
advantages which the enemy enjoyed in its attack,
I and the formidable force which he brought before the
place, the defence of Ciudad Rodrigo does infinite
Ihmour to its Governor, Don Andre Kezasti, and its
brave gurison ; reflects the utttiost glory on the Spa-
-1 nish arms, and deserves to he classed with the cele-
i brated defences of other places, by which the Sp tnish
nation has illustrated itself in this severe struggle for
its independence. _ _ _

This morning an engagement took place between
our piquets and those of -the enemy, who lost two of-
ficers and SI men taken prisoners." .
According to some accounts there appears to have
been a slight action between same of the advanced
guard of our army and the enemy, in which the la'.
ter have suffered considerable loss.

By accounts from Badajoz, it appears that the
Marquis de la Romana has approached that place.
The movements observable in all the provinces of
S;,ain spew the spirit which animates the people.—
Every where the insurrection is in full force, supported
by the almnst infinite number of flying parties.
There are reports of the disembarkation of some
divisions of the English in the maritime ports, best
suited to assist the patriotic exertions of the Spaniards.
JULY .20. —We are in the greatest expectation with
respect to the movements of the army of Massena,
and are anxious to learn what will he his future op e.
rations. We have no positive accounts to assist us in
our conjectures. 'We may, however, assert, that the
able Chief who happily commands the numerous
forces which compose the respectable and brave army,
which defends Portugal, observes with the greatest
circumspection and judgment every step taken by
the enemy.

Jui.v 21.—Ciudad Rodrigo has fallen, after a gal-
lant defence of 16 days • the enemy were prepared to
storm it, but the Coniandant seeing all further re-
sistance in vain, surrendered on terms which have
not yet reached us. Such is the account ; but the
general opinion is, that the enemy could have taken
the place whenever they pleased, but delayed, and
appeared embarrassed, on purpose to draw our army
to its relief, which would have brought on a general
engagement in those great plains, where the enemy
would have had the advantage. sto Ciudad Rod-
rigo, possession or loss of it is of no consequence to
either party. It fell on the 10th.
'On the same dyty the enemy's cavalry debouched on
the plains of Almeida, and were galtmely attacked
and repulsed by eight squ.:ilrons of the I Rh and Kith
Light Dragoons, under Colonel Talbot. There were
30u iofaatry with the french in a great piece of stand-
in- corn. Colonel Talbot charged them gallantly ;.
they fired, and killed two subalterns of the 16th, and
leight or ten privates. Both the fore-legs (f Colonel
Talbot's horse were broken ; the animal plunged for-
ward and fell ; the Colonel fell over his head on the
enemy's bayonets, who instantly dispatched him ; his
body has not yet been recovered. The enemy lost $OO
men in killed alone ; our loss was under 21 Colonel
Talbot is universally regretted ,• he was a native of
Malah)de, near Dublin. Lord Wellington continues
nearly in the same situation he has been for some
time ; the enemy hover over all his out-posts, but do
not venture to make an attack on any. Fort Concep.
tion has been destroyed, fearful the defence of it
should oblige our army to come to an action in the
plain. All the baggage of General Hill's division,
including tluit of the Portuguese attached to him,
an ived at Abrantes on the 12th.

The troops arrived at Campa Major, near Elvas,
on the frontiers, on the Ilth. Massena has lately
given his troops a little pay ; he is said to have 10,000
men at Castropol, 18 leagues from CWIIIII4. It IS
an opinion rather general- here, that this will be a
campaign of posts and manoeuvres : nu decisive ac-
tion is expected to take place. We can bring 60,000
yoncts into the field. Massena can bring 70,000.
With this small advantage, he never will dare to make
an attack, and attempt to advance into Portugal.—
He must have 100,000 men to venture on such an
enterprize.
