A CHALLENGE.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR said, they had it in
command from his Royal Highness the Prince Re-
gent, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Ma-
„jolty, to; grant to Is!s Majesty's faithful Commons,
in the mist full stud ample manner, all the pri‘ileges
which had been granted to them by his Majesty, or
any of his Royal Predecessors, and also to put the
most favourable construction upon the conduct of
the speaker, if that were necessary, in the person
of an individual so eminently gifted with a know-
ledge of the forms and usages of Parliament.
The Commons retired from the bar, the Lords
Commissioners quitted their bench, and the Rouse
adjourned to unrobe.
The Rouse having resumed, Lord Viscount Mel-
ville was sworn at the table.
The Rouse adjourned till three o'clock, and hay-
ing then again assembled, the oaths were administered
to the Lards in attendance tilt four, when the House
adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in
his Majesty's service, challenge the, bole world to
prove a single lIIIMDCC where their Medicine and Methud of
Cure have failed of the desired effect. The practice of many
years in this particular branch of their profession has not given
rise to one unsuccessful case. l'hey emanate to direct their
studies to the treatment and cure of VEN EREAL COM-
PLA I NTS, and that derangement of the system, which is the

The army clothiers of the Fauxhonrgs have been
also in full setivity for these sever.tl weeks, in pre.
paring suitable winter habiliments for our brava
troops, which were sent off with the same expedition.
Thus the furs which were consumed in the fire at
Moscow, will be replaced by the woollen manufac-

Neat:stereo, OCT. 23.---Tae last fair at Cobourg •
dosed on the '26th September. It attracted great
numbers of manufacturers from Bohemia, and seve-
ral parts of Saxony, particularly from Chemnitz,
Schleitz, Gotha, Altenbourgh, Frfurth,
and several cities in Franconia. The principal ob-
jects of commerce exposed for sale, were India mus-
lins, cloths, kerseymeres, liuen, ribbons and silks,
astd jewellery.
The result of the fair does not present an encou-
raging prospect with respect to wholesale purchases.
The retail trade, however, was brisk and rapid.—
' The dealers in woollen cloth and India muslins, in
particular, had great reason to be satisfied. The in-
flux of strangers was great. They afterwards pro-
ceeded towards Leipsic.
NA ri.T.SAT. 20.—The unanimous testimony of the
fugitives who daily arrive from Sicily, and even the
Journals published at Messina and • Palermo, concur
in proving that the above unhappy Island is over-
; whelmed 1%411 the weight of the political evils, of
which the English are thK,. authors. The animosity of
parties has now risen to the highest pitch of exaspera-
tion. In order to occupy and tranquillize the pub-
lic mind, the English dressed up the phantom of a
new constitution, but this present was soon disc,-
vend to be worthy of those who gave it. The
Sicilian Barons found out that their pretended allies
only wanted to perpetuate the tyranny of the
English. In the midst of these agitations, a dread•
ful event occurred as if to form a diversion in fa-
vour of the quarr'ils of all parties : the Parliament
had met, when in the very place of their assembly, a
kind of mine, or rather an incendiary machine,
I made an explosion ; which, fortunately, either from
mismanagement or false calculation, did no mischief.
I Every attempt to discover the author of this hideous
i project was vain :—every faction accused the other,
but the sober part of the inhabitants were of opinion
j that the true authors only brought forward this ma-
, chine in order to form a pretext for accusations
against those whom they wished to render suspected
in the eyes of the people.
While all these disturbances (brouillemens) are
going on, the unfortunate Queen Caroline has less
personal liberty than ever.—King Ferdinand is not
more at ease. Prince Francis, decorated with the
empty title of Vicar-General, has not even the sha-
dow of authority. Many of the Barons are endea-
vouring to secure themselves and property by flight,
from the disasters which they see hanging over their
beads. To crown all, the English are about to add
to all these political evils the horrors of a general fa-
mine, by sending oli' to their army in Spain the
whole of the little corn which remains in the island.

the choice of speaker of the Commons had fallen.—
Mr. Abbot, followed by all the Members present,
accordingly proceeded to the House of Peers. •
On his return he stated, that having appeared at
their Lordships' bar, he had stated to the Lords
Commissioners that the Commons had appointed,
him their Speaker, and that their Lordships, in the
name and on the behalf of • his Royal Highness the; ' ,
Prince Regent, acting for his Majesty, had thought, Some unpleasant information relative to the out.
