WHEN Men of Education and professional skill
use persevering endeavours to discove.• the most safe and
effectual method of treating a few reigning Diseases, the success-
ful result of their experience is the best proof of superiority.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. Surgeons, being regularly educated in
every branch of their profession (certificates of which from dif-
ferent hospitals, and testimonials from the most eminent Physi-
cians, they have to convince arty inquirer), were induced to make
the treatment of a few prevalent Diseases the object of their par-
ticular study, and continue to confine their attentibn to the.cura
...of a Certain Disarder frequently contracted in a moment of ine-
briety, as also its co..comitants, whether recent, or of long dura-
fe s ; which by their improved plan of treatment are speedily and
effettually removed. They can affirm that they have been equally
succ ssful in renovating the System, when geranged either by in-
temperance, long residence in warns climates, or a secret destruc-
tive kabit which reduces its votaries to a miserable star: of debility.
Many years experience in this exclusive branch of the profession has
enabled them, by a superior mode of treatment, even ill deplore-
b:e and complicated eases, *where the general practitro;ler has
fai:ad, to enure to the patient a restoration to sound and vigorous
health.—Messrs. Goss and Co. may be consulted daily, by either

SPANISH PAPERS.

CADIZ, FEBRUARY T•

The Supreme Junta of Government of thiq city,
received a Flag of Truce from the enemy, last night,
at oven o'clock, bringing a Paper to the following
tenor .

MO&T EXCELLENT SEGNIORS,

M The King, our Lord, Don Joseph Napoleon,
having destroyed, in Ocana, the army which thought
itself able to take possession of Madrid, has forced
the pass of the Sierra Morena, and occupied, in a
very short space of time, the kingdoms of Cordova,
Jaen, Grenada, and Seville, which received him with
acclamations for their King. Such rapid operations
can only be carried into effect by the aid of wisdom
and military talent, to an extent that knows no resis-
tance. His Majesty thus finds himself on the banks
of the Bay of Cadiz, and animated by the noble sen-
timents which constitute his character, is willing to
forget and forgive all provocation ;, his only wish
being to make his people happy, to put an end to a
wlr that can only tend to the annihilation of their
commerce, and the destruction of the illustrious mass
of its inhabitants. _ _

" Animated by these sentiments, his Majesty re-
quests that the inhabitants of the city of Cadiz may
depute persons, in whom they repose confidence, to
treat and agree with us, with a view to the most in-
teresting conciliation, for the security of the squadron
and arsenal, which alone belong to the nation.
46 We send this by a Flag of Truce, which, we
trust, will be treated according to the lawi of war.
" God, preserve the life of your Excellencies for
many years!

The Junta, full of the honour and patriotism which
cl?aracterise it, and penetrated with just sentiments of
love for the people whom they represent. as expressed
in their several Proclamations, have unanimously
resolved to prove their professions in the following

teems:—
The city of Cjtdiz, faithful to the principles to
which it has sworn, renounces every other King, ex-
cept Don Ferdinand the VII."

Well then, inhabitants of Cadiz, you see what the
enemy wishes. Religion, honour, and the inestima-
ble gift of liberty, are the only powerful stimulants
that can sustain us amidst the horrors of war that sur-
round us. Let us prepare to mee, with calmness,
, as well as to resist, with firmness, the flattering offers
of the enemy, and the insidious intrigues of his emis-
saries. If yon pledge yourselves to maintain the in•
ternal tranquillity, and chastise the factious, who
',nay attempt to distnrb it, certainly our 'wall will be
the sepulchre of the enemy. The Junta hopes it..
Let us take the most efficacious measures to secure
the public tranquillity and carry on the war with ho-
nour, and in a manner worthy of a free and generous
nation.

ADVICE TO THE PUBLIC.
The Junta of Observation for the defence of this
City, constant in their principles to save the people,
and to avail itself of the wisdom of every citizen, has
received wits pleasure every suggestion which has
been communicated to it. They are already innu-
merable, and the Junta gives its grateful thanks to
the authors, in the name of the people, having al-
ready given to some the satisfaction to see their ideas
realized. The country is indebted to them for those
tervices ; but it is necessary that the plaos and pro-
tects be simplified, and stripped of every kind of
form, and that they should be as laconic as possible,
in order that they may not take up more of the time
of the Junta than is necessary, from the various ob-
jects that press upon their attention. This is no time
to cherish prolixity, nor indulge in declamation ; and
the Junta, moved by these considerations, orders, that
whatever project or plan is intended to be communi-
cated to it shall be simple, and reduced to the points
or articles proposed, beginning with the difficulty,
and concluding with the same. This being the most
effectual way to render service to the public.
By permission of the Superior Junta,
(Signed) MANUEL MARIA DE ARC; SCC.
Cadiz, Feb. 8, 1810.
EDICT.—The Supreme Junta of Government, who,
in the midst of their vast attentions do not neglect any
means that may contribute not only to the defence
of the country, but also to the conservation of the
public property, and without prejudice to any
other means of precaution that they have adopted,
has resolved to direct, under the greatest and severest
penalties, through the medium of the. Captain of the
port, that all masters of fishing-boats, and coasting
ve-i-els, shall give notice to all vessels that they, may
nappen to meet at sea, that the enemy are in posses-
sion of the coast from San Lucar to this port. Not-
withstanding, that, for this service, no other reward
seed be assigned, than the satisfaction that results to
every honourable man to fulfil the duties that his
country expects of him, the Junta has resolved that,
--as a compensation for such services, the Masters,
Captains, and Proprietors of vessels, who receive
such information, shall remunerate these services in
the following order—
If the notice should be given to a coasting
vessel 40 rm. or 2 dollars.
If to a Brig - - 120 do. 6 do.
If to a Ship - - 160 do. do.
These premiums arc to be understood with respect
only to Spanish vessels, leaving to the discretion of
forewners to whatever port bound, to give the same
notice, with the same activity, and bestow whatever
recompense they please upon those from whom they
may receive such notice.
By Order of the Supreme Junta,

Ca 62., tcb.tit, 1510.

CADIZ, FEBRUARY IL
'le Supreme Jupta du not lose sight nor spare la-
-1 cur to procure-the public the greatest happiness, and
..t the saute time to promote with the greatest acti-

'city the means of defence. Desides the numerous de.
trees hitherto issued, it has made known to the
"public, by an edict, that navigation is free, and that
all vessels may sail to their different destinations, on
condition that they do not take more provisions than
what is necessary for their voyage ; following, in
other respects all previous rules established for com-
merce. They have seen with the greatest regret the
small assistance to the completing the ditch and bat-
tery of San Ferdinand ; and, in the Edict of yes-
terday, again request the inhabitants not to put the
Junta to the necessity of adopting measures of se-

verity.
The regiment of La Patria, that was in garrison in
this city, has received their complement of and
the assembling of the militia is very active for the ser-
vice of the place.
By information received from Lision, we expect
every moment 5000 men, whom the Eitglish will bring
here with eight sail of the line; we also expect rein-
forcements from Gibraltar.
The enemy, on the the 7th, in the morning, were
seen in full-retreat to Puerto Real ; and, after that, in
great numbers, they halted in the road .of Puerto Real
in consequence of the fire of our gun-boats. They
however advanced under the shelter of the Battery
del Comercio, during which time they fired with their
muskets at our gun-boats, in answer to our cannon.—
We have not learnt the amount of the loss which they

sustained.
Another division of about 500 men passed to the
Exchange on the same afternoon with five pieces of
flying artillery, who took shelter in the warehouses on
account of the fire from the ship San Justo and the
gun-boats.
According to information which we have received
from El Puerto and Xerez, it appears that the enemy
have not been able to repress their true character, as
they have begun their usual atrocities, torturing and
persecuting the peaceful inhabitants. This is the feli-
city that they offer, and the unnatural children of the
country who are amongst them have the audacity to
join in their atrocities.
Don Clemente Davila Barroso, Regidor Docano of
the city of Cartaya, in a dispatch dated the 6th Feb-
ruary, says, as follows :—.4. With respect to news, I
have to say, that yesterday, the sth, arrived here a
Captain to the Supreme Junta, in Ayamonte, dis-
patched by the Marquis Romana with official dis-
patches from him that his advanced guard had reach-
ed Los Santos, and that his army amounted t 070,000
men, news of great consolation, and 15,000 more can
be collected in this vicinity."
We do not pledge ourselves for the truth of this ac-
count, though we are inclined to think it is true ; and
though it may not be so to its full extent, it is to be
expected if they will come into Andalusia, the enemy
will make a retrograde movement to avoid having
their retreat cut off.
During the whole of yesterday, with short intervals
we have witnessed the firing from ours and the Eng-
lish gun-boats, with the ship San Justo. The enemy
has not been seen in any one point.
. According to letters from the island, the enemy
has detached a column of 1500 men to Chiclana.—
They say also, that there has been some skirmishing
upon the road of the Anecise, in which the enemy
sustained some loss.
The regiment of La Patria or native regiment, has
gone to the island.
By order of Government, several maritime advice.
boats have been established for east and west, for the
purpose of corresponding with the towns not in pos-
session of the enemy. They are to sail Tuesdays and
Saturdays.
We have received intelligence from Madrid, up to
the 17th ult. the enemy has completely united all his
force, in order to invade Andalusia. In Madrid has
' been left only 1500 men in garrison, and 1000 at To-
ledo. In Despenaperos they have left about 2000,
and a strong
.detachment in the Carolinas. By the
same advices it is known, that they have received no
succours from France, and that General Blake is at
Guadix, where he is collecting a great number of dis-
persed troops, who flock to him from all parts, with
a great number of peasants. Echevarri also collects
great numbers in the Sierra. We know he had a
corps of 300 sharp-shooters, of that country, with a
body of troops of the line, which have joined him.
. EDICT.—The Supreme Junta of this Government
observes, with the greatest sorrow, that the number of
its inhabitants that assist in the works of the batteries
of St. Ferdinand, diminish in their exertions at a time
of the greatest necessity and extremity. The enemy
are at the gates of our island, have threatened our
' surrender, and commenced hostilities against our sol-
diers and brethren. The Junta have answered with
a dignity \;orthy of the people whom they represent;
t and, it is necessary, in order to sustain their dignity,
that the people must co-operate and answer to the
vote of their representatiN es. Any other course would
be vain, and their efforts useless to the demands of
their afiiicted country. Moved by these considera-
tions, they have called upon their neighbours to con-
tribute, with their indefatigable zeal, and daily assis-
tance, to finish the important works of the fortifica-
tions, where the lines of the enemy will find their
grave. The inhabitants of Cadiz, who have the
greatest interest to protect their wives, their children,
and their altars, impede this purpose, as they are to
be found in the coffee-houses, in the public walks and
streets, in a state of inactivity, while the religious men
and strangers do all in their power to assist in the
works, which require all the assistance of the whole
of the inhabitants to finish so great a task ; yet, great
is the number who amuse themselves in observing the
firing_ of the enemy, and very few take any means to
prevent the enemy's fire from reaching our walls.—
Let us not be idle spectators of the evils which
threaten us, nor indifferent to the captivity that our
unfortunate neighbouring towns have suffered. Let
us run to work in the batteries, without distinction of
classes. Let every man that is free from infirmity
give his assistance, as the circumstances of the times
require it. The Junta abstain, for the present, from
imposing compulsion, but, at the same time, they
prepare the public mind against all those who will
not answer to this last call. They will point out all
those men who are capable of working and will be
found in the public walks, and even in the streets.—
Such men shall not be suffered to go unnoticed, and
without reproach, as they will be considered as
having it in their power to work in the batteries, and
still remain in the town, without any urgent business.
It is an artful enemy who threatens and watches us,
and it is necessary that Government without exceed-

big that moderation which charatterises it, should put
in execution proper and efficacious means for its de-
fence. There will be.eammunicated to Commissaries
of Districts the necessary instructions to apprise their
neighbours of their duty, that none may excuse them-
selves from fulfilling it. But, in the mean time, and
'without prejudice to this order, they are invited, and
ate all expected to contribute all the assistance in
their power, without any specific duty assigned.
By order of the Superior Junta,

Cadiz, February 8,1810.
CIRCULAR.--The district of this city, comprising
the Royal Island of Leon, sees itself surrounded by
an enemy, who seeks to afflict it with the greatest
distress, with respect to the scarcity of provisions,
coals, wood, and other articles of the first necessity,
by cutting off the means to enable them to penetrate
its walls. Cadiz, firm in her principles, is not capa-
ble of succumbing
.under such vile efforts. It is re-
solved to eternize its defence by the chastisement of
her enemies. In order to effect her purpose, it is ne-
cessary that all the provinces, and particularly the
sea-port towns, should endeavour to send, by water,
all kinds of provisions and fire-wood that they can col-
lect. Such is the exhortation of Cadiz to all her
kindred towns, which are so much interested in the
conservation of this city so important to the Monar-
chy. Lastly, they expect that your Excellency will
contribute, with all your power, to stimulate all far-
mers and merchants within your jurisdiction, and in-
form them, that, for whatever they shall bring, they
shall be paid in current money upon delivery of their
goods, and that their crews and cargoes shall not suf-
fer the slightest hindrance or molestation.
God preserve your Excellency many years !
Cadiz, Feb. 6, 1810.
ORDER OF GOVERNMENT.
The master-bakers shall give in an account of the
servants and journeymen who will not assist in the
performance of their duty ; for it would not be just
that persons neglecting their real business, should
throw away their leisure time to the loss and the_pre-
judice of the public cause. The Government cannot
see with indifference the smallest abuse in this parti-
cular, and makes the masters responsible for all the
negligence of their servants. Let this order be posted
up in every house of business. (Signed)

Cadiz. February 7, 1810.
PRIVATE LETTER.—LISBON, FEB. 13.
The alarm occasioned here by the late unfortunate
occurrences in Spain, and particularly the entrance of
the French into Seville, has entirely subsided. We
are now all in high spirits on learning that Cadiz
still holds out, and is likely to baffle the efforts of the
enemy. Our letters from thence are of the 9th in-
stant, at which time the brave Albuquerque was en-
trenched on the banks of the river that divides ther
island of Leon from the main land. '[he bridge
Suaco had been broken down, and the troops were
determined to defend the passage, which, if unfor-
tunately forced, the troops can in that case retire
within the walls of the city and the different castles.
Some of the enemy's light troops have made dieir
appearance on our south-eastern frontiers, but we
are by no means uneasy on that account. I have
this moment seen an officer who arrived with dis-
patches from Romana to Lord Wellington. He tells
me that the Marquis's activity is beyond any thing of
the kind he ever before witnessed. He has already
collected 30,000 troops, and the people at Badajoz
almost adore him. He is up day and night ; has sent
troops and provisions into the castle of San Miguel,
and appointed a new Governor, who has sworn not
to surrender it while a gun remains mounted on its
ramparts. In a word, he has given new life to us,
for as long as we are secure in that quarter, we are
under no fear as to the North, where Lord Welling-
ton with the British army, and Marshal Beresford with
the native troops, are stationed.
ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.
A Gentleman who left Seville at eight o'clock in
the morning of the Bth instant, has reached this city.
I have seen him, and he states, that up to that time
the French had not entered Seville, as the Duke of
Albuquerque, with his army, had come down from
Cadiz, and completely obstructed the advance of the
enemy.
King Joseph, he asserts, was at Ecija, with a pitiful
force of not more than 6000 men, and great hopes
were indulged of cutting him off in his retreat, which
he must necessarily commence on the approach of the
Spaniards.

The dispatches,veceived yesterday from Lord WEL-
LINGTON confirm a fact which we had reason to expect
from former accounts—that the French have marched
a numerous corps towards the frontiers of Portugal.
His Lordship was advancing with promptitude to

meet the enemy and give them battle. The army
was in high spirits, and eager to meet the foe. At
the date of the last advices from Lisbon the account
of a battle was hourly expected at that place.
Dispatches were also received yesterday from Ad-
miral PURVIS, dated the 12th February. The French

had then advanced to the vicinity of Cadiz, but they
had not been able to make any impression either upon
that city or the Isle of Leon; and the British squadron
had effectually prevented them from throwing up any
batteries. Every preparation was making to resist the
enemy, and no apprehension was entertAined of their
being able to make themselves masters of the town.
The British squadron,' as we stated some days since,
was stationed inside the Spanish fleet; all were deemed
perfecly secure, and Admiral PURVIS was in hourly
expectation of the arrival of a reinforcement.
Such we understand to be the substance of the offi-
cial accounts that have been received, We have to
add that the contents of Cadiz papers to the 10th
ult. received last night, do not encourage us to hype

that that place will long be able to make any es'.
tual resistance. The infatuated inhabitants do not
seem once to have anticipated the possibility of being
obliged to stand a siege, and hence their cry for pro.
visions, fire-wood and . articles of the hrs,z necessity.
The place was summoned on the 6th to send Depu.
ties to treat for the surrender of the arsenal ane fleet
to King JOSEPH. The reply of the Governor was,
that they would acknowledge no King but FEMDT-
NATO/ VII,

The enemy appear to have been disappointed in
the hopes they had formed, perhaps from treachery ;
but, even from the public documents, their hopes
seem not to have been altogether without some ground.
for great complaints are Wade of the apathy of 0;
ranks, except theft-dale:tics and those dependent opal,
them !—we say those dependent upon them; for the
lower orders receive their sustenance through the
hands of the clergy and monks ! !—We must tete:
our readers for farther data on which to form tLei•
opinious, to the extracts given in the precedirg cc.
lumns.

A letter from Cadiz, by the way of Falmottl.,
states, that British officers had been received on board
