n the RIGHT HON. LORD PALMERSTON,fic. l• Some ;rivileged ships have received permission
to enter the black Sea, on the express condition that
they return laden with corn.—Another ordinance au-
thorises all those who bring corn from the Archi-
pelago, or any other place, to sell it at the current
price, and to whom they please, without being com-
pelled to place it in tho public granaries at a limited
price. In consequence of this measure, we_ flatter
ourselves that the capital will soon be supplied with
this first necessary article, the want of which has
already been felt.
The English Amb?ssador, whose health has suf-
fered considerably during his abode here, is making
preparations for his departure. One of the Secretaries
of the Mission will fill his post, in quality of Charge
d'Affaires.

MY Loan—Through the medium of the public
press, I am induced to offer a few observations on the
Medical Department of the Army, the important
duties of which have been too long looked on with in-
difference and contempt. Every man on his entrance
into a prol,s,ion, is influenced by the hopes of attain-
ing pecuniary reward, or honorary distinction, which
expectation in a greater or lesser degree, is realized in
all professions, but that of the Medical Officer of the
Army. Subjected to all the vicissitudes of war, in
common with his military companions, he is denied
the indulgence of those plea.ing sensations, which the •
prospects of rank and repntation arc likely to excite
in the mind of the military adventurer. The clarion .
of victory summons not the Medical Officer to the en-
joyments of triumph, nor is he allowed to participate
in the least degree of those advantages resulting from
successful warfare, and to the dangers of which he
was exposed.
These considerations, my Lord, you will admit are
entitled to some attention ; and if the Medical Officer
is debarred from the attainment of rank, which en-
sures consequence in society, his pecuniary remunera-
tion should be equal to the privations he is perpetually
doomed to suffer. A young Gentleman enters the
Army as Aisistint.Surc.;;:on ; and after a service
of seven cr eight yea: s, in various climates, is
considered fortunate it he obtains a Regimental
Surgeancy, the emoluments of which are inferior to
those of the lowest Apothecary of the Empire. The
wretched stipend at present allowed to the families of
men necessarily exposed at all times to contagious dis-
ease, and who so frequently are the victims of a con-
scientious dischargeof their professional duties, [ hope,
may claim your Lord,,h:ps' attention. hILDICUS.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25.
Sr. M g. —H. liday at the Bank, Excbequer, and Stamp-Office.

Yesterday Government received di;pate! es from
Lord WELLINGTON, which set at rest, for the present,
all the rumours that have been circulating of a battle
on the frontiers of Portugal. Nothing of the kind is
expected for some time, the cituation of the enemy
being such that it was thought they would not be in a
state to attempt entering into l'ortugal before the mid-
dle of June. They seem much rather inclined to keep
at a respectful distance from the British troops. In
the mean time, our army is not indolent or unem-
ployed. The utmost ac.ivity has been displayed in
strengthening the principal military positions of the
country. In the vicinity of Lisbon, not only have
new fortifications been erected, but those which were
dismantled or allowed to fall into decay have been
repaired and put in a respectable state of defence.—
Indeed every thing promises t'u be in the most perfect
state of defence before the enemy is able and ready
to attempt an attack.
Yesterday evening we received some additional Por-
tuguese Papers to the I2th instant. From the North
of Spain we find that Marshal AIN!Yr is closely in-
vesting Astorga ; but General Maui has marched
to its relief. King JOSEPH, on evacuating Malaga,

retired to Carolina. It is continued to be asserted,
that desertion among the foreign troops in the French
service, becomes every d.:y more general, especially
among the Germans, whom NAVOLLON forced into
his service.

This day French papers reached rs to the 18th, and
Dutch to the 22d instant, from which we have taken
the following extracts :

V'F.NNA, MARCH :0.

TRIESTE, MARCH 2S.

The day before yesterday an order of the Governor
General was issued, according to which all the colo-
nial products, which were sequestrated in this place,
and has not been removed to Venice, is to be sold
here by public auction on the 24th of next month.—
The General of Division Montrichard, has been ap-
pointed Commander of the Forces in Dalmatia, which
has been divided into six military districts. The ut-
most exertions continue to be made to put all the dif-
ferent ports in a respectable state of defence.

Since the year 1792, the Public never euioyed so
much tranquillity nor shewed so much conadence in
the Government. The credit of our paper money
increases every day, and it is hoped that the course
of exchange on Augsburg will soon be at 300.
The news of the passage of the Danube by the
Russians near Orsowa, and their junction with the
Servians, has been brought here by more than 20
estafettes. It is hence concluded with reason, that

th! hopes of Peace on that side are vanished, and
VAL the commercial relations which we have with
Constantinople by Widdin, will be interrupted for a
long time. Cottons have, therefore, risen on a sud-
den 20 per cent.
