Sold by all Booksellers iii the United Kingdom. ' against a people who had done them no injury
—against a people who were only known in this
country by their industrious habits and harmless
demeanour, and by a manifest and uniform dispo-.
sition to improve and strengthen thgr connexion
With this country. He should not do their Lord-
ships the injustice 'to suppose they were insensible
to the great principles of justice and humanity,
but he would remind them, that the measures
Is hich Ministers were pursubig towards Norway,
were contrary to sound policy, and at variance
with true justice, and, therefore, incompatible
with the honour, interest,• 'and safety of the
British. Crown. He would call the attention
of the House to the
.treaty with Sweden, which
was discussed last year, and which was opposed by
him. He might be wrong, but his opinion was
' unchanged, and lie declared he thought that Bri-
tish policy never received so great a shock, not
British honour so great a stain, as were-incurred
by that treaty. He' was far from attempting to
urge that Muse to any , retraction of its solemn
acts, or to evade i strict compliance with the sub-
stantial protisiooi contained in them. Good faith
was never to- be 'abandoned or disregarded. But
if by the coercion of Norway it should be found
. that good faith was to be violated, and not pre.
served, he hoped that meanie would no longer
he insisted on. If he could make it appear that by
the terms of the treaty itself this country was not
bound to any such injurious and cruel coercion he
trusted that the measure would he abandoned. Ile
should first enquire, whether the coercion of Nor-
way. under the specific terms of the treaty, was
justified ? Secondly, whether such a measure was
agreablg to the law of nations ? In the third place,
whether the King of Sweden had fulfilled his en-
gagements? And lastly, whether, upon the whole
view of the question, sound policy would justify the
means proposed to be used ? In the first instance, the
terms and the construction of those terms by no means
warranted the conclusion which appeared to be
drawn from them, and did not constitute a right
to blockade the ports
.of Norway. By a violence
somewhat similar, Spain had been assailed, and
every one knew and rejoiced at the successful re-
isistance which she made. About that time Swe,
den was called on to join the Allies, not for any
purposes of hoitility to Norway, but merely for
her assistance on stipulated terms. The stipula-
tion was, that if Denmark should refuse to join in
the alliance, England should assist in wresting
Norway from Denmark, and annexing it to Swe-
den : but Denmark acceded to the ,leagues and,

• MATRIMONY.
NO Disorders have contributed more essentially
to destroy Hymeneal happiness than those which are the
consequence of unguarded I.lensure. People of every rank pay •
adortitionito the shrine of Wedlock, but o here the constitution
has been tainted by disease, a reinnotiO'n of stability is
iudis-
pe requisite.
Twenty years have we &voted our practice to the excliv•ise
Irentraem of fhe following disorders, and the oioccessful result .it
our plan gives osadditiontil ardour to oppose, as far as we are
able, the ravages of those complaints which sue tae un,t.l im-
portant in the catalogue of human infirmities.
After initiation into every brauchoo Navy Stazeorts,we formed
a wish, at•an early .period of practice, to resette in tivitlaal:
from the igeorance of areducated men, or the equally duogerous
precipitancy of general piactitioners.
• The disorders In the cure of which we have devoted our at-
tention comprise every winos of Venereal infettion ; all kinds
of Debility, whether artsiag from the habits of school-toots or
the hodulgencies of maturer age; that deran;:emmt of the sys-
tem inavtinten which is called 11orrennesr or Sterility ; Seminal
Weakness, (Beets, Obstructions in the Urethra ; as also Stric-
tures, whether/emit or of long duration, and which hove
baffled the_skill of other practioners, are by our ;present im-
proved plan of treatment effectually and permanent's cured,
without the patient sofferine the excruciating, pain anti alarm-
log Hemorrhage which frequently follows the applicatioo of
the lunar caustic. In the course of our extensive practice in
this metropolis, numerous cases of strictures have been and are
daily under our care, the total eradication of which is effected
by a safe, eertnin, and expeditious mode of cute. superior to
any other yet adopted. The weakoess, relasation, and de-
bility, proceeding from this complaint, are speedily removed,
and he patient restored to sound and vigorous health. But
where the debility 'IRS for years existed, a proper perse-
verance in our restorative remedies is indispereably requisite,
to revive the slumbering sparks of life, and to reaaiinute the
colter itut ion.
Numerous Diseases are the result of ignorance or haste in the
treatment of is simple Gonorrhea, and it not unfreipiently hap-
pens that the seeds of life are poisoned by the indiscreti ~,, of an
uagoarded hoar. By a superior method such complaints are
easily cured; and even where others have failed, we frost-that
we may presume to offer a radical re-establislimeid.
Few, however, arc the cases of complicated distress In this
disorder, compared with the calamitous situation of men, who,
from an loolulernee bp a solitary vice, or the—prevalent gaieties
of a fashionable life, armoire that state of debility which is the
unavoidable cittoequence of such pernicious habits. Where the,
wiltappy Su [few broods over his misery, bit carefully conceals
his misfortimes. it may be some consolation for hiou in know,
that although it be an object of doubt or uncertainty with other
practitioney, the removal of these deficiencies by the gradual
proreress of renovation, is the acquirement of our experience.
If the rites of Bacchus or Venus have begot' to reduce manly
vigour, much anxiety will be prevented by ats early cout.ter-
action of ibis languid state, and in these eases no great dillicuit4r
will occur.

expectations of nf; 'ly, may be assured, that in most instances,
such defects are curable by medical skill.

therefore, the obligation .for transferring Norway
was idellidated. Our threatened hostility was against
Denmark,. not against Norway, but against Den•
mark atone. It did not appear by the terms of .the
treaty that we guaranteed the future possession, even
in case of the alienation ; and the guarantee not he•
ing expressed, became, of course, invalid. „ In mak•
ing that assertion, lie was fortifted by opinions much
stronger than his own ; by authority no less than
that of the very framers of the treaty; by the autho.
rity of his Majesty's Ministers themselves. lie al•
luded to a paper (wliv not before tie, House he knew
not)•of the 14th of ianuary, setting forth the treaty •
with Denmark, and in which paper it was acknow-
ledged that Denmark had complied with the terms
required by the Allies. His Lordship called to the
recollection of the House, .that a question arose last
year as to the permanency-of the surrender of *Oftal
daleupe as well as of Nerway. Ministers then disc
claimed, as he thought in that House, any such gun.'
rantee. Certain he was, that in another House the
Minister expressed his surprise that any one' could
suppose such a guarantee to have been in contempla.
lion. Denmark having done all she could, the sal
pulation of force, according to every principle of
law, equity, and morality, became void. He spoke
in the ears of lawyers, and he asked, whether. in case .
any person had indiscreetly entered into engagements
which he could not have been enabled to fulfil, and the
fulfilment of which would not hive been conformable
to the principles of equity and fairness—he asked of
these Learned and Noble Lords who heard him,
whether the demand for the performance of such en-
gagements would not he rejected with indignation in
an English Court of Law ? it was the same be-
tween States as between individuals. There was a
reciprocal obligation between Prince and people, of
protection and allegiance. His Lordship then quoted
several passages in illustration of his arguinent, from
Grotius and Puffendorf, by which the mutual rightts.
and obligations between the Sovereign and the pot-
pie were to be regulated. From contemplating tree
origin and progress of nations, it appeared that Se.
vereignty was unalienable and untrankferrable with-
out the general concurrence of the people. Those
.authorities to which 'he had referred, however, with
all their learning Ind eminent power of reasoning,
had made a distinction, which was altogether ante.
nable, in describing sonic kingdoms as patrimonial,
and others as non-patrimonial—in point of fdct, no
such distinction existed; anklo. solid foundation
could be establaed for the right of alienating cone-
, tries. He al ways contended that no Monarch pos-
.: sessed the right of property over his people, and
could dispose'of them to his ptitrate advantage. If
tech right really 'existed then it was .necessary to
show that Norway was.pitrintonial—an assumption
• which the examination of its history refuted. For:
merly Norway was divided into entity peftf '
palities, in which condition it continued fee a long
time, till it was united into one kingddm, sea finally
annexed to the kingdom of Denmaritt'•-and the 'Mo.-
narch became absolute. Though the form of Getern- •
meat became different, no ditiereriee-- took !dice in •
the allegiance and rights of the people; therefore
Norway was an unalienable kingdom;' which the Mo-
narch had no power of transferring to 'another.
Many countries, it had been contended by One of
the eminent writers whom he had 'quoted, were
transferred in ancient and modern times:—
Solomon ga,ve away twenty cities ; and' in days
much less remote Lorraine harlbeen transferred, to-
gether with numbers of islands and colonies. But
all these were .dependencies, and formed no part of
the kingdoms to which they lielongoil --none of them
could claim the immunities of ancient independence
had no crowns to contend for, and their si-
tuation could never be confounded with -that of if
free and ancient nation. If the consent of the peo-
' pie could be obtained, they might be transferred ac-
; cording to 'their concurrence, not otherwise. If in
a treaty of peace England were to give away Ire-
; land, or transfer Scotland, would not the people of
those great countries be justified in resistance, and
