CHALLENGE.

MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in hie
TA Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove a
single incance where their Medicine and method of cure have
tailed of the desired effect. The practice of many years in Hilt
particubt branch of their profession has not given rise to oue
ursuccessful case.
They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and cure
of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the system,
which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects of a
habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youths of both sexes:
In the one it will be found to be the tiniailiug source of barren-
ness ; the other have its ravages fatally developed to :hem by a dis-
tressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates
n Impotence.'these are its remote and ultimate effects, while con-
sumptions,loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints
usual,' characterise the earlier stages of this solitary vice. Of per-
sons !align:shin.; tinder the disordtrs incident to such a lisbit, their
treatment is sample and has never proved onsuccessful, in the
course ot a long, laborious, and much extended pry ctice. In the
most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection, suds
as obstructions in the urethra, swingy excrescences, hard tu-
mours,callous ulcers, eruption", seminal weakness, sleets, as also
STRICTURES,
Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled the
skill ofother Practitioners ; are by their present improved plan of
reatment, effectually and permanently cured, without the patient
suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage which
oftt-1 follows the application of the lunar caustic. In the course of
vo years extensive practice in this metropolis, numerous cares of
qtrictures have been and are daily undei their are, the total
.ralcatien of which are effected by a safe, certain, and expetli-
i'iOUS mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. The
weaknessi relaxation, and debility proceeding front thi, complain:,
Is speedily removed, and the patient restored to sound and v.
prints health. But where the debility has for years existed, a
proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after the Stric-
ture has been destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the
slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the Constitution.
Several Noblenten and Gentlemen, of the first respectability,
have been under the care of Messrs. Currie and Co. for the r.-
nioval of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c. and, having
received a radical and permaneEt cure, request that refererce,
may be made to them as satisfactory evidences of the decided su-
eentuity of Messrs: Currie and C:).'s plan of treatment. Many
of these Gentlenztee had Strictures from ten to twenty years
and had been ut the case of M ssn. Home and Ilesirisitles
And other surgeons of equal eminence, who attempted the cure
by the application of the lunar caustic, wiihout success.
Messrs. Curate and Co. may be consulted by either sex with tht
greatest delicacy, secrecy, and honour, at their house, No. 107
Hatton-Garden. Patients In the country are requested to state
the particulars of their case, age, and general habit of living, &c
inclosing a remittance for advice and metheines, when the sense
will be given or sent to any part of the kingdom.
MARRIED WOMEN, who have long been disappointed in
their expectations of a family may be assayed that in most in•
stances such detects are curable by medical skill; and although
the removal of such impediments be as object of doubt and uncut
tdaty with others, yet the cure of such defects, by the gradual
p( pISS qi renovation, is the acquirement .thee experisese.

SPANISH PAPERS.

CORUNNA GAZETTE EX IRAORDINARY.
A strong interest has been excited in respect to the
military operations in GalliciA, in consequence of the
appointment of Sir Howard Doti-gins in that province,
for the distribution of arms, and to ,AE.ist in the cr-

ganization of the forces, and tits hte movement.; in
concert with the army under LordVLllington, stews
that much may be expected from the co.:Teriition ;
under theses circumstances, we are happy in being
able to communicate the following :

OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.
g MOST EXCELLENT Sift—From the commencement
of our operations on the 25th ult. I have apprised
your Excellency of our situation, transmitting the in-
telligence through the medium of the Commandant-
Gexeral of the province of Lugo, that he might trans-
mit the same to Corunna, it not being possible for
me to send the information direct, on account of the
multiplicity of my duties.
" The enemy not being now present, and having
a favourable prospect of supplies, under the exigen-
cies of my army, I till not longer defer writing to
your Excellency.
" On the evening of yesterday, being informed
that the enemy's troops were in motion, but not ex-
actly apprised of the direction they proposed to take,
I reinforced my parties of observation in their neigh-
bourhood, and before sun-rise I repaired from Bare()
ale Valdeorres with my forces, and to-night I have
established my headquarters in this place (Molina
Zeta), where four days ago my brave companions
covered themselves with glory. My van-guard was
posted at break of day as far as Ravanal and Santa
Catalina. The French marched in three columns to
Orbigo, Astorga, and La Berman, the heads of the
columns approaching Benavente and Leon. The
ume evening their rear-guard was at Astorga,
however, between that place and Santa Catalina
a body of cavalry much superior to that under my
orders. From my reconnoitring parties, I expect
correct information of the situation of the enemy, at
moon, tomorrow, and then shall judge if it be right
that I should advance upon Astorga, not forgetting,
however, the wants of my troops, which render a
portion of them unserviceable. So deficient they are
in shoes, and so much lacerated from the want of
them, that on the day of the battle a quarter part of
the forces was separated from the army as wholly
useless. Such a situation of difficulty might have
occasioned their falling into the hands of the enemy,
or might have produced their concealment and dis-
persion, but happily, nothing could be more correct
in discipline, and patient under suffering, than these
troops, of which the enemy is sufficiently sensible,
and which he has openly acknowledged. Tie news
of this morning contirnis the account before received,
of the considerable loss of the French, and yesterday
died cue cf their wounded Generals, whose name is
said to be Corsin ; he had two balls in his cheek, and
one in his breast.

44 There has also died, a Colonel cf the 72d regi-
ment, and those of the 27th, 34th, and of the regi-
ment of the Vistula, were wounded. The enemy had
two obrisses, eight pounder, and two cannons, l'2-
pounders ; and by the wounded and prisoners, we
are informed that the plan was to destroy this army,
to march afterwards rapidly upon Lugo, which was
to be fortified, and then•ta proceed to Cormina, which
was to be taken possession of by a coup-de-main.—
According to my view, the project was absurd and
impracticable, and could be suggested only by minds
intoxicated with success.
44 I shall continue to transmit the news to your
Excellency, and when I can properly separate myself'
for a short time from my army I shall wait upon you!
in person, to confer with you on the important sub- '
jects I have before noticed.
(Signed) 44 RAvION ABADIA.
64 Twelve o'clock, midnight, Slat August.
0 To the President of the Most Excellent Junta:'
44 Mort' ExcRLIANT SIR—I this day received your
Excellency's dispatch of the 27th inst. by which I
observe, that 8000 pairs of shoes and 4.0 waggons of
provisions, are on the road to us, and that other sup-
plies are ready to alleviate the pressing necessities of
this army. I thank your Excellency for this atten-
tion, and in General Orders to•rnorrow, I shall an-
pounce these agreeable tidings for the consolation of
my valiant comrades, and to sinew them the interest
you t4ke in their welfare.
(Signed)
" Malin:: Seca, August SI.
01l To the President of the Most Excellent Junta."
Jvo•rs —*l hese shoes were sent before the late alarm, and in
consequence of the request ut General Abadia to have 10,000
i pairs turwaided .v.ry month. Besides these above stated, 6000
pairs have been sent from Orense, Lugo, and Santiago, which
will very 50311 be with the arsny.
PONFERRADA, SEPT. 1.
Our haughty enemies have abandoned their bold
enterprizc, ‘‘ inch they were induced toundertake from
the deficient org:inication of our army. To fulfil their
designs they collected about 20,()00 infantry acid Ca-
valry, with some companies if Lancers, and a sal&
Cient quantity of artith: y. With these forces-they
• advanced fr, :11 Orbig,) and La Banaza on the night
of the '2sth August, and they rusi.ed onward with
the rapidity of lightning, burning and destroying
every thing in their way, and after having defeated
the army of Abadia, intending to penetrate to the
capital of Gallicia.
Our brave and discreet General, discovering their
purpose, proceeded by the right to Barco de Baldeor-
ras to return upon them at the proper time. :Ilk
movement disconcerted all their plans, and our brave
Gallicians having heat to Aims in all directions, they
did not think it safe to advance, and it was well fur
them they did not, for not one of them would have
,escaped-2u0,000 peasants and our gallant army
preserved entire, would not have left a Frenchman'
alive. Thus thwarted, they only pillaged Villa
Franca del Vierza, and some ,•mall villages, and then
fell back towards their former stations. Our army
toll. wed them in their retreat, although only half
heir number, and encountering the rear guard ill Ma-
- Seca and Puente de Domingo Flores, where SOO

command the first soldiers in the world." On the
same authority, it is said, that the Hussars of Gal-
licia, the artillery, the regiment of Montery, and the I
brave Revero, with great valour maintained their
ground, and the Hussars attacked by 400 French
Lancers, repulsed them with success. The enemy's
force coilsisted of 18,000 infantry, 1600 cavalry, and •
30 pieces of artillery.
TLe Curate of Catoyno collected 7000 armed pea-
saws, properly organized in battalions. Our head-
qu:n.ters are still in Mol:na Seca, but we expect to
advance upon Astorg.t. 1 am persuaded, that if these
trarTs weic tidy pruvi.li:d with necessaries, and if the
G,verninent give them the proper assistance, there
will be no better to be found any where; and this
army, supported by the brave peasantry, will secure
in Gallizia the liberty and independence of the whole
kingdom.

CORRESPONDENCE INTERCEPTED BY THE SPANISH
GUERRILLAS.
Letter of N. Garrido, Coniniisiary of Police in Vittoria. Con.
mander of the First Division of the Imperial Guard.
" Vittoria. July 6.
" In pursuance of my last, of the 6th of June, I
began on the 12th to exercise my functions of Com.
missary of Police. My predecessors in this duty have
erected their edifice on such feeble foundations, that

I have been obliged to pull it down, and build it
anew on a more secure and solid base, and cemented
in a different manner from what it had been former-
ly. This has caused a painful duty to devolve on me,
of which you can form no idea. Suffice it to tell
you, General, that none enter the place from beyond.
the boundaries of the city who are not obliged to ap-
pear before the Police • none depart without their
passports being inspected. The gens d'armcs station-
ed at all the gates obey my orders literally, and by
this means I have been able to entrap some brigands
and spies.
General Cafarelli, at leaving Ciordi, (peruse, if
you please, my last dispatch) proceeded direct to
Pampeluna, whence he marched with General Reille
in pursuit of Mina. The last of these Generals en-
gaged and dispersed the brigands in Canasael, slew
46, and made 86 pi isoners. There has been no ac-
tion besides this. Several of his detachments have
entered Alava, and have become masters of the coun-
try from Santa Cruz de Campera as far as Borunda,
while the General overran Navane.
_ _ _ _ _

" On the 3d of July Mina was in Maesta, with
2000 men, and continued there till the sth. He pro-
ceeded to march round the confines of Navarre and
Alava.

" D. Sebastian Fernandez, alias Dos-pelos, with
200 cavalry, is completely master of all ltioja, and
of the country from Maest a to Araga, ace. He keeps
garrisons in La Guardia, Samaniego, S. Viacente de
Sousiena, S:ailiniilas, El Ciego, and many other
places. In short, all the important posts, with the
exception of Salvatiena, Orduna, Talinas, Armin',
and Nonelaros de Lavea are stripped of their garri-
sons, which puts it in the power of the brigands to
traverse freely in all directions, without fear of oppo-
sition. In consequence of this, they are masters of
Alava.
" Tke garrison of Bribiesca having learned that
Longa was in full security at Pena, marched out to
the number of 300 men, excellent troops, attacked
the enemy, who amounted to 1500, slew their Ge-
neral, and made 200 prisoners, who were put to the
sword ; the rest Red precipitately to Frias. The gar-
rison returned to their post covered with glory.
" La Martina, a second Amazon, with 20 disaf-
fected persons, has struck terror into all the districts
of Biscaya and Alava, and committed an infinity of
robberies and murders. She had increased her band
to 40, but has been surprized with 20 of her followers
by a body of 20 men from Mina, in Zarate, a league
above Murgesia, and carried off, probably to be shot,
as Mina gives no quarter to robbers.
" Mina's detachments extend as far as Biscaya,
and the places to the west of Vittoria. They compel
the inhabitants to supply them with horses, but corn-
mit no robberies.
" The arrival of General Cafarelli from his mili-
tary tour to Navarre is daily expected.
" His Catholic Majesty entered Vittoria the 55th
June, at five in the evening. Previous to his arrival,
I had given orders that the inhabitants of all the
places on the road from the descent of the mountain
of Salinas de Guipezcoa to Vittoria should come to
felicitate his Majesty ; that is, the curates, the priests,
the young men with their tambours de bisque, and
that they should shout " Long live King Joseph !"
" Orders were given by me to both the Chapters
of the Clergy, to the Municipality, and to the Mem-
bers of the Criminal Junta to come out at the Puerta
de Francia to felicitate and compliment his Majesty
upon his arrival ; also the Commissioners of Vittoria,
the Masters of the School, with all their pupils, the
children in the hospital, with their Governors, to pro-
ceed from the same place, before /the above-named
authorities, carrying Al a small board, with this in-
scription,--" To our good King Joseph—long may
he live, long may he live !" and that as they passed
they should shout, " Long live King Joseph l" The-
whole was performed with alacrity and the greatest
possible enthusiasm. The road by which his Ma-
jesty was to pass was "covered with an awning, and
all the windows were ornamented in the same man- 1
ner as during the procession of the host. The King
' was lost in admiration at seeing himself so well re-
ceived, and exclaimed,' What a prodigious ahange!'
Illuminations and artificial fire-works were played off
the two first nights. Some of the Generals carried
branches of laurel, and the Com-Emissary who had
planned the whole was forgotten.* His Majesty set
out for Burgos on the 3d, at noon.
" I began this letter on the 2J, and have finished
it this day (ti's Gth) and that with the loss of my
rest—it is now midnight. I am, &c. (Signed)
" Gamma.), Commissary of Police."
• Here then is the explanation al.tl commentary of the article .
Vittotia, inserted in the Madrid Casette of July it, in whirl, an 1
account is given of the entrance ut Joseph Bonaparte into Spain, •
and of his arrival at that city.—" Front the first point of the Spa.
nish frontier, al; the places through which his Majesty passed
were emulous to exhibit testimonies of the warmest joy, loading
him with applauses and acclamations. lii all of them, the consti-
tuted authorities, at the head of the inhabitants, went out to pay
he tribute ut their reverence to the Monarch. His Majesty en-
wed the capital of Alasa surrounded by the Civil and Military
Authorities, who *tut out to receive hint.—by the garrison of
the place, by the Provincial and Municipal Councillors, by the
scholars of the different oensinarits, by deputations front the .
vicinity, by the clergy, and by an immense multitude, who bad
all advanced to a considerable distance without the city, loading'
his Majesty with animation and htsediotions, who sonde-

weeded t answer tkere witb bin wonted beeignity."—Thel atter I
of Garrido, ao irrefragable testimony, discloses the whole, and
sass is their true light the value of all those acclamations presen-
ted by policy, which surprised Joseph, and even the Commissary.
—This is the genuine explanation of the dances at Burgos, the
triumphal arches and harangues at Valladolid, and all the other
farcical shows by which the French agents endeavoured to pro-
duce an appearance .f joy in the places through which Joseph
passed, in his journey to Madrid.

stances of the country, against their unjust oppressors;
and being desirous that the road to honour and glciy
slituld be laid open to the children of so many gallant
men, that they may combine, with die bravery they
inherit from their fathers, the knowledge to be ac-
quired
in those Military Schools, admission to which
has hitherto been confined to the descendants of the •

DISPATCHES FROM LORD WELLINGTON.

••••••

A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, by which Go-
vernment have received dispatches from Lord Wet,
LINGTON. They arc dated Fuente Guinaldo, near
Ciudad Rodrigo, on the 28th ult. an 4 completely refute
the report which was very generally circulated yester-
day and this morning, of the Capture or Ciudad Ro-
drigo, founded on the authority of a vessel met with at
sea by the Express packet. His Lordship's dispatches
state that no movement of importance had takers
place in the western provinces of Spain ; but one
division of French troops that had been in garrison in
the north, and had been relieved by the conscripts
lately arrived from France, had m ved to Valladolid
and Rio Seco.
MARMONT is also understool to have concentrated
his troops more than he had done in the first instance.
The extreme heat had obliged the armies to remain
in their cantonments, and the allies maintained the
blockade of Ciudad Rodrigo,
.but there appeared no
preparation for undertaking the regular siege of that'
place. Owing to the influence of the season, there
had been some increase in the numbers of our sick, I
: but we are happy to say that the cases were generally
slight, and the deaths were very few.

In the STAR of Monday lost we stated, correctly,
that the date of Lord Wet.LSo•roN's former dispatches
was the 21st : the Gazette of Tuesday dated them, by
mistake, on the 31st ult. The dispatches received
from his Lordship, this morning, are dated on the
28th, but we have accounts from Lisbon of the 31st
ult. which are subjoined. They furnish us with no
additional intelligence, however, from the allied army.
