CASE 27.—0 f Mr. IitNILT STEVENS.
IN November, 1807, I had a most violent Scorbutic
Eruption on the leg, attended with great pain, by which I had
suffered a lung time, and tried every medicine I could hear of,
without experiencing the least relief, and several Gentlemen of the
Faculty whom 1 had consulted, seeming to promise me no hopes,
I determined on attending to the recommendation of a friend in
favour of Mr. Guest, at which time my leg was so swelled and
in such polls I could not walk about in the pursuit of my business.
Mr. Guest advised a course of his Alterative Bilious Pills, which
In a few days worked such a change in my constitution, that I
was able to walk about without pain, and by continuing their use
a few weeks, was perfectly cured, and have remained well ever
since. HENRY STIViNS.

VEGETABLE MEDICINE.
English Diet Drink.—Bocrhaave's and Sir John Hill's Universal
Remodf.
THESE great and eminent Physicians, by an inti.
mate and profound kneWledge of Botanical Science, con-
, currcd in predicting the pods --• of discovering in the vegetable
world a remedy for almost e : human maludy. flat the Rita.
LIIIII DIE r DRINK, introducto by Dr. Joshua Webster into his
Medical Practice, so far back is 1745, and since administered
by himself with uniform success for 60 years to both sexes and all
ages, is a discovery that approaches nearer than any other vat
made to this universal character, has after various and complete
experiments been acknowledged the venerable Dr. Franklin,
of America, by Drs. Aden and Sir R. Jests, of London, and by
many other high and distinguished names, both at home and
abroad. But the best practical test of truth is experience, and
the many thousands that have been cured, since its first intro-
duction by Dr. Webster, of every description of Fever, of Nervous
and Hyptichondrlac complaints, of Sea and Land Scurvy, of
Scrophula, of every species of Eruption, which indicate impurity
of Blood, of Consumptions, Asthma., Oro/isles, &c. will be the
most satisfactory evidence of the extraordinary powers and alto-
aishing efficacy of this Vegetable MediCine.
Those who wish for more particular Information on the
character and properties of the English Diet Drink, and of
the nature and variety of the cures it has effected, may con-
e& Dr.M'ebster's excellent work on the subject a aew edition of
which is just published by the Proprietor, price 5... in hoards,
1
and a small pamehlet, price 15.64.1. containing a list of thirty re-
markable cures, which all occurred in 1810; and the Reader of
these productions may be assured, that he will not only not be
disgusted with the inflated bombast of the stupid pretender, with
the quaint and stilted puffing of the quack, nor with the fabri-
cated fictions of the shameless impostor, but will find the Doc-
tor's Book the work of a man of great professional experience,
learning, and humanity.

EAST INDIES.

CALCUTTA, MARCEI 12.
The brig Lady Rolla, (Mr. Astell Commander),
arrived on Thursday last from the coast of Pedier,
which place she left on the 17:h ult. We are con-
cerned to .hear by this arrival, the melancholy fate of
Captain R. Jones, late Commander of that vessel,
who was drowned in attempting to go on shore in
blowing weather, at Boroong, on the coast of Pedier-
The following are the particulars of this unfortunate
circumstance :

AMERICAN PAPERS.

CORRESPONDENCE

AnnapoliA, August IS, 1811.

• .
With heartfelt regret I have to communicate the
dreadful accident which happened on the 31st of Ja-
nuary last, on which day we anchored at Boroong.—
Capt. Jones wishing to go on shore, left us that day
in the long-boat.
is On the following day, February 1, at seven A.M.
a sand-pan belonging to the King of Acheen's crui-
ser came alongside with an Officer and three lascars,
and informed me that the long-boat was swamped,
by the violence of the surf, on attempting to land.—
The Captain of the cruizer and his Officers used every
exertion to save the men who were then floating on
the bottom of the boat ; but am sorry to say, their
efforts were ineffectual. Captain Jones and one las-
car unfortunately perished. The others were carried
on shore in a state of insensibility, and narrowly
escaped sharing the fate of their comrades.

" Upnn this I went on shore, to see what could be
done ; •nd, with the assistance of fishermen, we pic-
ked up the body of Captain Jones on the second day,
;almost as far down as Pedier, which we buried as de.
cently as possible. The lascar could not be found."

Private-letters, received by the Andromeda, com-
municate the seizure of a large quantity of treasure
Isy the Chinese Government, under an attempt to elude
the order prohibiting its exportation. The circum-
stances attending the transac►ion are said to have ex-
cited a considerable degree of irritation.
On Friday last a melancholy occurrence took place
un the river, opposite to Chinsnrah, in consequence
of the violence of the Bore•kA boat, having on board,
between 20 and 30 sepoy •olunteers, with their wives
and followers, proceeding to Barrackpore, having
been upset. whereby eighteen persons unhappily pe-
rished. The rest of the people were saved with
the greatest difficulty.

JETWEEN THE GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND AND WILLIAM
PINCKNEY, ESQ. OUR LATE MINISTER AT THE COURT
OF ST. JAMS'S.
" Annapolis, August 10, 1811.
44 Dear Sir—At this important crisis in our foreign
and domestic concerns, nothing can be more desirable
than procuring correct information for the people ;
with this view, therefore, I have takeq the liberty to
address you, respecting the conduct of our Govern-
went in the late negociation with England.. It must
be known to you, that every exertion is making by
the federal party in this State, to impress a belief, in
the minds of the people, that the general Government
has never sheen an honest disposition to settle our
differences with England on honourable and fair
terms ; and that French influence, in our Cabinet, is
the cause of our present embarrassments. To you,
ihen, Sir, who have been the acting and active
Minister in this negociation, I look with the fullest
confidence for an honest and candid developement of
'facts, and knowing the high estimation in which you
are held by the unprejudiced citizens of your native
State, I am certain that your statement of facts will
be confided in, and your opinion duly appreciated—,
will you, therefore, have die goodness to answer, as
.00n as your convenience will permit, the following
queries.—Have you ever discovered, on the part of
our Government, a disposition to delay an accommo-
dation with England, en terms honourable to the
nation ? On the contrary, has it not manifested an
ardent desire to settle our differences On any terms
that were not incompatible with our rights as an in-
dependent nations Have you, in any situation, under
any circumstances, had reason to believe that an ac-
commodation with England did not take place in
consequence of French influence, or French partialityi
sincere respect, I remain your friend and
fellow-citizen. (Signed) gg EDWARD LLOYD.
' To W. Pinckney, Esq."

" Dear Sir—l had this morning the honour to re•
ceive your letter of the 10th inst. and hare no hesita-
*Zion in giving an explicit answer to it.
" The suggestion that the Government of the Unit-
ed States is under 4 French influence' is so extravagant
in itselt, and does so much violence to probability,:
that it can have no title to credit, unless established I
by the clearest evidence : but I am not acquainted
with any, even the slightest evidence, in support of
that suggestion, and of course do not believe that it I
has the smallest foundation in truth. My opportunities
of knowledge have not been inconsiderable, and I
can say with perfect sincerity, that, so far as the con-
duct of our Government towards France and Eng-
land has fallen under my observation, it has appeared
to me tb be the fair result of pure American views,
and the fruit of an unmixed American spirit. I have
never had any cause to suspect, and I never have
suspected, that, severely as their patience has been
tried by the unexampled 'wrongs inflicted upon us by
the belligerent parties,. it has entertained an undue
Rrejudice against either, indisposing it to just and rea-
sonable accommodation ;and I feel entirely confident
tient its single object in its transactions with both has
been to maintain, as they ought tube maintained, the
undotibied rights, the honour, and the prosperity of
opytoontry.. h my character of American Minister
at London, I have seen nothing from our Govern-
Mthit which did not attest Jlie purity and integrity of
4'5 motives, and an honest/and anxious regard for the
piiblic good. Whether the system opal which it has
acted in she midst of those unprecedented a;tliculties•l
with which the injustice of others has surrounded it,
• Was the best ar.d wisest that could have been adopr-
I ought not to undertake to say ; bag may he ;
permitted to say, that as its servant I seconded that
'srateria.with pleasure, because I apprcvcd it. Your
4iceliency will not expect me in this letter to enter
_lab details, forbidden by cousiJei ations of • delicacy

and duty connected with my late mission.—.-I have the
honour to be, with sincere respect and esteem, your
Excellency's most obedient humble servant, •
(Signed) WM. PINCKNEY.
" His Excellency E. Lloyd, Governor of Maryland."
NEW YORK, AUGUST 20.
A writer, under the signature of Phocion, has ap-
peared in the National Intelligences-. His view of the
situations of France and England is candid and liberal.
From his Essay we extract the following passage :
" Should Britain be compelled to relinquish her
maritime pretensions and her attempt to monopolize
the commerce of the world, she must unquestionably
descend from her present rank, but she would still
subsist as a great and respectable Power. Her po-
pulation, her resources, her skill in arts, her attain-
ments in science, and the manly virtue of her people,
entitle her to an eminent place among nations. To
destroy her would be to put out one of Me eye: of the
world; and to with her destruction, would be treaeon
'against humanity."

netrate into the plain, and the Spanish divisions pre-
vented from getting in one body into the Moria
mountains, two remaining on the left and one on the
right. On the 11th the head-quarters were in Ca-
, rabaca, and Generals Quadra and Lardizabal's di•
visions four leagues distant. On the 12th they joined
but were reduced to about 4000 men, owing to ex-
cessive fatigue and want of food.
By another dispatch of the same date, it appears,
that the enemy bad reached the pass of Luinbreras.
The dispatch of the 13th, from Alcantarilla, in the
territory of Murcia, expresses General Freyre's hope
of being joined, the next day, by the Ist divison and
General Lardizabal's, and shortly after, as announced
by the Chief of the Staff from Las Aguilas, by the
2d and 3d, which had come down by the mountains
along the coast—all of them somewhat reduced in
numbers from the causes mentioned above, but not
from any dispersion or disorder having taken place.
On the same day, the cavalry was between Bullas
and Cehegin. A body of 1000 French horse and a
few toot, which had approached Lorca at seven in
the morning, had been compelled to withdraw by the
I fire of the Castle.

VILLANUEVA DE GELTRU, AUGUST 21.
The Superior Board of this Principality has been
in Berga, and the head-quarters in Ripoll, ever since
the 15th instant. Our troops are come back from
French Cerdagne with a considerable booty. Palamos
is putting in a state of defence, while we are waiting
for a favourable moment to make ourselves masters
of Rosas. That port affords a safe asylum to the
shipping in stormy weather, and may be protect-31 by
a small garrison.
GIBRALTAR, SEPTEMBER 7.
General Ballesteros is arrived at Algesiras. His I
division, which is reported to be one of the finest la.l
the Spanish army, is 3500 strong, and, with such
troops of General Begines' division as are left behind,
will make up a total of about 6000 men.
Soult entered Malaga on the 30th of last month,
with an inconsiderable body of troops and several
carts of wounded.
