" We cannot take leave of this veteran brother without ten-
dering him the homage of our respect and esteem. Throughout,
the whole of the Work, which we have perused with attention,
we see little to censure and much to praise. We believe, too,
that were Mr. Foot's directions stri..tly followed, we should
rarely meet with any of those victims to the poison of Syphilis,
or the poison, as it is called, of Mercury, which are held up in
terrorein to paralyse our arm in the administration pf the re-
medy,pr distract our judgment as to the nature and treatment
of the diseas?.."—Johnson's Medico-Chirurgical Journal, April,

'SCORBUTIC AFFEC'T'IONS.—INTERESTI NG CASE.
Doncaster, April 20,1819.
Si" think it tny duty to inform you of the suc-
cess of your invaluable A NXISCORUII FIC DROPS, in
a most inv.:crate !:ttatitianaonith which my son, a child abotit five
years of age, has bean foe some time afflicted. In the Autt.mn
of 1216, he broke out with a Scorbutic Eruptba in various parts
of his body, with which he was again visited in the following
year; and in the month of October last, the complaint returned
with redoubled violence, insomuch, that kis body was covered
from head to foot. So virulent was the -disorder, that he was
obliged to be wrapped in linen cloths, beinLunable to wear his
usual apparel—and having been under Medical. attendance for
some months, apparently without receiving relief, I was recom-
mended to a trial of your Drops, a small bottle of which I pur-
ehased.at Mr.. Sheprdown!s, and in a very short time foUhd the
complaint gradually decrease, and a general improvement in the
gate of ljs health. He is now going on with a second bottle,
and the eruption has disappeared, leaving only a few dry spots
about the wrists, which are sapidlydecliaing.
You are at full liberty to refer any applications, for the vera-
city of this statement, personally, or by letter (poet paid) to,

PRIVATE LETTER FROM OUR CORRESPONDT.NT
AT MADRID, DATED APRIL 7.
" The mode of Election for the Cortes is this.—
First, the Parishes elect one Deputy for each
Parish. Among those so elected, there must be one
chosen for each Parish—(that is, a certain extent of
territory)—and, lastly, out of these Delegates one
Member or Deputy for each Province ;--one Mem-
bee is retnrned for every 70,000 inhabitants.
" Sunday last was fixed nn for the Parochial Elec-
tions here, on which occasion there vas a considera-
ble degree of bustle. I attended the Election of one
Paris; fOO person:, met in the Hill ssliere the
tish System of Education is taught. The Mayor
took his seat at a table. at the top of the hall, at-
tended by a clerk. Each person, by turn, rose, went
no to the table, and gave his vote for two scrutineers.
The scrutineers being elected, took their scats at the
table; when each person again came up, and gave
his vote for a person to form that Body who were to
elect a Member for each Province.
" The election fell on an Ecclesiastic who had suf.
fered much persecution tinder the former Government.
44 The Meeting took place at three p.m. and
finished at five o'clock. The whole proceedings
were conducted with a regularity and order which
I wished, ar the time, some of your Westminster'
Electors had' seen. The same order was observed
during the elections at the other parishes. Several
votes, however, were not admitted, particularly cf
those who had bought property confiscated by the
French, and others who had kept billiard tables, fcr
their amusement, when in possession of Madrid.
" It is reportei here that Vittoria refuses to accede
to the Constitution, until certain exclusive privileges
she has long been in possession of, are gUaranteed
to her. •
" A considerable sensation has occurred here for
some days past, by the report that Count de la
Tours du Pin, an Ultra-Royalist, had been appointed
Extraordinary Ambassador to this place, with con-
gratulations on- the change of circumstances, though
the Duke de Lnval (acknowledged in that charac-
ter), is here from Paris. A petition has actually been
'presented to the King, against receiving this e.7.4ra-
ordinary Ambassador. We perceive, by the French
Papers, he is suspended for the present.
44 O'Eknmel (Count Abishal) who is constantly
heard haranguing in the coffee=houses, is greatly'
blamed by all ranks for imprudence. He lately at-
tacked the Minister in the journals of the day. In
yesterday's papers there is an explanation on the
part of the Minister, charging the Count with stop.
ping the mail where his army was, and taking out
letters for. Cadiz and other parts, under the hand of,
the Minister, intimating that the King had pro.
claimed. the Constitution ; and, had thoseleuers one
forward, the disturbances at Cadiz would not have
taken place."
" On occasion of the Religious Procession hero
on Good Friday, the King-and all the-Royal.Family
appeared at the balcony of the Palace, and kneeled
down as it passed. His Majesty was saluted with
Five it Rey: All the family now appear more
frequently at the PradO, or public walk (like St.
James's or Hyde Park), in their carriages, when each
spectator stands uncovered on their passing, and the
family give a sort of salute with their hand.
" A friend of mine went to the Minister on busi-
ness• yesterday, and addressed him by the title cf
Your-Excellency: The Minister desired him never
to repeat that title, as it was abolished, but address
him simply by his christian names!!
" Streets, squares, coffee!houses, printinghonses,
and public offices, receive now the came of National
andConnitutienal, which is put up in large letters eu
boards over the zespective places.

The b.i.trqui; Of St. Cruz is appointed Arnim.
sailor to France, and will shortly set out.
" Madrid is .perfectly quiet, but much political
speculation' is heard in every quarter. The num-
ber of daily publications issuing from the press, in
the shape of Newspapers,ltc. is almost
" Under the Cortes there will be no House of
Lords, as you have. It is much wished here that
the .model of the Constitution would be that of
(;meat Britain, viz. King, Lords, and Commons.,
The Grandees and Nobility never will be oath-
fled .unless they have an exclusive Chamber for
themselves.
" 1 attempted to see that horrid dungeon the In.
quisition to-day, which was impracticable. When
the happy change of affairs took place, a body of
the people marched with torches to the place, and
threatened to demolish it if the inmates were not
'fiber:Lied. Seven persons were dismissed, and the
„Governor escaped. I saw a. company of soldiers
stationed in the inside, and a soldier %calking
.as ten.
tinel in front of .the place. One of the prisoners.
who thus breathed the pure air, was on the eve of
execution! -The Secretary of this infamous den
attempted to vote at one of the electionshere, the
other day, but his vote was at once refused,
" nr! Vaughan, Secretary to Sir H.. Wellesley,
who has acquitted himself with so much credit,
