ADVICE. •
WHEN Men of Education and professional skill
use permit...dog endeavours to discover the most sak and
certain method of treating a few prevailing Diseases, the s :cess-
ful result of their experience is the best proof of superiority.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. Surgeons, have been induced to make
the cure of the following the object of their particular study, VW,
a certain Disorder, frequently contracted in a moment el 'utast.
cation, and its concomitants Strictures and Glees, which, by
an Improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also de-
bility, whether arising from Bacchanalian Indulgences, long reel.
deuce in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often un-
happily pursued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing
sterility or barrenness, and In the other a numerous train of nee.
vous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, terminate in Im-
potence and Consumption. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or
arising from any other cause, by which the powers of the consti-
tution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of Lon-
don, they offer a Arm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and
vigorous health. • . _

"The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled then,
by a superior method, to remove venereal complaints, however
inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient to
the least restraint in diet or exercise ; and in recent Cass
where an early application Is made on discovery of the infection,
they frequently perform a cure in the short spare of two days
The unprecedented success of their mode of treatment (which
has never been known to fall in one single instance, in a pmc-
rice of IS years, during which period many thousand persons
of both sexes have been cured, even after severe and injurious
methods had been pursued by other Practitioners without effect),
Induces them to thus publicly offer their advice.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. exclusively professing the cure of these
particular complaints, in order th.tt they inJy not be marked by
a mistaken few, with the obloquy so justly attached to the igno-
rant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they
have been properly educated and initiated into every 1-ranch of
the profession (certificates of which, from different hospitals, and
testimonials from the most enenent Physicians, thgy have to con-
vince any inquirer), that the suc,ess resulting front their miles--
yours fight Induced them to quit tue practice of the gencral Prac.
&loner, and they presume that their preteusious constitute a fair
ground for the unprecedented confidence v ith which they have,
by the public, been so Ulu rally honoured.

Patients in the country are requested to stare the particulars
of their case, age, and manner i living, incloang a Bank Note,
for advice and medicines, sad tLe same will be forwarded to any

NEW SPAIN.

MEXICO, AUGUST 3.
FROM TILE lIAV-ANNAH GAZETTE.
TO THE PUBLIC.

cc I was repeatedly informed last night that a con-
spiracy was to take place this day in this capital. I
immediately communicated this intelligence to the
Junta of Public Safety-, which, with its accustomed
zeal and activity, discovered the truth of this ini9ui-
tons plan.
Their principal object 'was to seize my pet son,
thereby to .disjoint the Government, and introduce
anarchy and discord, the greatest of all public cvils
with which the wretches intended to satiate their vile;
passions. My constant attention for the tranqiiillity
of this capital, the-felicity which. I have *o much at
!wart, prompted me tO take those measures of precau-
tion which the Public-have witnessed; and I bad the
satisfaction to see that the valiant troops and general-
body of the inhabitants of this noble city are as much
attached to my person as they are faithful to their
King.
The pripcipal persons concerned in this iniqui-
tous plot have been discovered and arrested, and the
police are with the greatest activity endeavouring to
secure the rest of the conspirators, who will be imme-
diately punished with that rigour which the law di-
rects. Such was the object of the measurei of pre-
caution taken this day, and I, hope the final result
will be the restoring of tranquillity to the faithful in-
habitants of this capital, to which they are so- well
entitled, and expelling from its bosom those corrupt
members who contaminated them by their vices and
detestable designs. (Signed)

THE VICEROY TO THE INHAISITANTS AV THIS CAPITAL.
44 MIX/CANS !—I !Ave already informed you, on

the 3d instant, of my object in the measures 6f pm-
caution taken on that day by the Junta of Public
Safety. Now listen for a moment to the voice of
your Chief and best friend.
•" You are all entitled to my affection,and consi•
aeration for your unchangeable l,i atty. In vain did

a few wretches prostituting their tab-ills, and, relying
on that docility and simplicity which characterize the
greater part of you, attempt to seduce you. At first
they told you I was sent here to deliver this beautiful
kingdom to the French. You know the falsity and
calumny of this report ; but, on account of the war
of extermination waged against our enemies in Spain,
they themselves dared not speak any more about this
imposition. ,
~ They implicated, at the same time, in this affair
another power, the sworn enemies of the former, with-
out attending to the absurdity of the contradiction.
They were likewise convinced that I did not accept
of receive any foreign assistance. They saw, that
with the valiant troops of this kingdom I feared
nobody ; they then changed their course and cried
out for independence, without understanding its true.
meaning. ` For if they pretend th it we shall all de-
pend on the legitimate authorities, this is already-
done. This kingdom solely depends on the natiOnit
government, which is composed in a great part of the)
deputies elected to represent this kingdom. The.
sights of all its inhabitints and thrise of the rest a.
Spain are the same, and there can be no greater po-
litical independence and equality. .
41 But the object of those seditious persons was to II
separate themselves from the observance of the laws
and their religion, substituting in their place, murder, I
plunder, and other crimes which those prohibit

well informed not to abominate it. I have endia. II
vowed to reduce them to reason, by using the most
mild means, but without effect. Each victory of the
many obtained by the King's arms was followed by .
.a general pardon which tne greater part. of them
.would not accept, notwithstandini that I extended it
* to those who were at the head of the revolution ; but
they obstinately de;pised it, and, it seams, it is GOD'S
_pleasure they should lose their lives oti a scaffold.
. 4, Hardly one example of justice hat; been maiie, '
notwithstanding that the prisons of this eaFital have
been filled with rebels-who had taken up arms against
the country, because •I l.new the impotency. of their
efforts. I attributed their temerity to seduction and
madness, and I wished to spare their blood as if they
had been my own soldiers.
44 But, after all these cons'derations, in which I
had no other object in view but the welfare of these
wretches, my kindness was repaid by their adherents
with the blackest ingratitude. The conspiracy they
hatched up the end of last April was discovered, and
Was similar to the present one, according' to the con-
fessions of several of the ciirninals who have di,clo- 1
sed the whole plot. I still persuaded myself they i
would have desisted from such infamous and wild I
schemes, but in the meanwhile they framed and in-
vented another ' • this will he the last osie, as they now

• 04 Mexicans, all these intrigues are directed against

of your innocent blood. Fortunately. you ire, unac-
quainted with the horrid and -dreadful consequences

With the idea 61 such misfortunes. It is not fit that
tyou thbuld be the least exposed to endure so cruel a
ate.. To me it belongs then to avoid it. I see
#ainted in your agitated countenances the indignation
which these detestable wretches and their atrocious
crimes excite in -your breasts. You call out for kis.
;ice, and, notwithstanding that my pious heart is
4*S3 to this severe- but necessary measure, still I
cannot deny it you. Justice shall this slay be done ;

a right to expect from me : I shall punish them, that
they may serve as a memorable example and marring
to posterity, and to all those who in their hearts
