Superhne Yellow Bark.
October IL.


THIS POWDER, consisting chiefly Of
the extractive matter and reslaous portion OF
the bark, wherein its virtue as medicine Is
known to reside. is separated Ia degree
from the hard hbrous and other useless parts
in manufacturing 1t will, therefore, be
eonnl preferable, on account of Its purify,
strength, hnenoss, and the small quantity
required, to any other form in which the
barb has hitherto been generally used
The superiority of this bark will be partl-
cularlv manifest in the treatment Of those
diseases in which, on account OF an irritable
stale Of the stomach and bowels, the requl
site quantity of the imperfectiy ground bark
in common use cannot be administered /; and
as any of the watery or spirituous prepara-
tons are we'll known to be Intellectual in ur-
gent cases, it is presumed that the present
form will prove generally acceptable.
The proprietor thinks it unnecessary to
offer any apology to those of his medical bre-
thren to whom he is personally known, when
he recommends to them in particular this
elegant powder ofbark since many otthem
have, in common with him, had so frequent
and painful occasion, in the course Of long
practice, to deplore the want of SO desirable
form of using that inestimabie remedy and
so fully is he assured of its superior efficacy
from numerous proofs OF its effects. that he
offers it to the faculty in general, without
fearing the imputation Of imposition.

Don Juan de Escalona, captain of the

appointed by the Supreme Government OF
Caracas.
Dear FELLOW Citizens,
1t has been resolved
by the Supreme Provincial Government.
created yesterday 18th inst by the unani
nous Consent of all classes Of the iIlustrjous.
loyal and heroic people of Caracas, that
all the authorities which came directly from
the metropolis should be suspended, on ac-
count of the critical circumstances which
surround the peninsula. The distance at
which we are, the uncertainty of the news
coming from thence, the versatility ofthe va
rious forms oil government which have i'm so
short time, been adopted thIher, and the
suspicion with which we must look upon ennis
saries who in the name Of the late Central
Jnnta have arrived on this continent, with
view ofpersuading US 10 submit blindly to
the remainder of one that calls herself New
Junta, and which is BOW situated on one
poini ofSpain, that has no direct communi-
cation with the other provinces of that
kingdom of Juuta which, by the general
cry OF those inhabitants who have unfortu-
nately been disappointed in the hopes ofpre
serving their independence and liberty, has
become suspicious Las ly, of JuEta tu-
'nul.uously formed in the port OF Cadiz.

necessary to create a new provincial govern
ment IN order to secure Us from the same
disasters which Spain ias suffered by the
ambiuon ot.thc Emperor of the French.
This is the only means which the people
OF Caracas have thought sufficient to pre-.
serve the integrity of these provinces as an
essential part Of the Monarchy, and sa.'

that all the citizens animated with n true
spirit Will contribute to give credit to the
rectitude of their intention, in showing the
most complete obedience to the supreme
resolutions OF the authorities legally consti
tuted, which are to be made known.
And i, as commander and civil Judge of
this port, invite all neighbors OF ali classes

avoiding all secret conversations & meetings,
which might be directly or indirectly against
the new established constitution-the in

left Lisbon on the 18th April, at which time, the
allied army of Portuguese and British troops on
the frontiers was understood to be 100000
strong. The recent reintercements from Eng
land being considerable, the portion Of British
troops was rated at $4,000 effective men we'll
appointed. The combined armies rather cour-
ted than apprehended attack from the French,
whose advance was not talked Of at Lisbon,
where great confidence continued as TO theip
safety
Previous TO the sailing Of the Augustus, they
had accounts from Csdiz to the 10Th Apvi Tfro0
days later lbsn the fabricated account ofits cap
ture No advance had been made by the inva-
ders for the last week On the contrary, the
French troops, it is said, bad abandoned

usual. 1t was supposed, that the Frencls
generals withdrew their troops, either from fear
Of being Dapopfed cut of By advancing 900 larl
or in order for concentration of force and vig.-
rous attack on the combined armies CO: erug

advance, should their opponents continue mues
