Superdne Yellow Bark.

THIS POWDER, consisting chiefly OF
the extractive matter and resinous portion OF
the bark, wherein its virtue as a medicine -
known to reside. is separated in degree
from the hard hbrous and other useless parts
in manufacturing. 1t will, therefore, be
ound preferable, on account of Its purity,
strength, fneness, and the small quantity
REQUIRED. to any other form in which the
bark has hitherto been generally used.
The superiority Of this bark will be part-
eularly manifest in the treatment of those
diseases in which, on account OF an irritable
state of the stomach and bowels, the requi>
site quantity of the imperfectly ground bark
in common use cannot be administered and
as any of the watery or spirituous prepare
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 re'
thren to whom he is personally known, when
he recommends TO them in particular this
elegant powder ofbark since many ofthem
have, in common with him, had SO frequent
and painful occasion, in the eou,se Of long
practice, to deplore the want of so desirable
form of using that inestimabie remedy; and
50 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 ofimposition.

From another quarter Of respectable au-
thcrity, IL is stated, that the point INN
diately uodrr discussion between the two
powers, is the possession of the ports oil
Riga and Revel Bonsparte is said to have
demanded them precisely on the same plea
on which he seized Stettin, Colberg, and
the other Prusslan pjrts, as being necesss-
~ 10 the completion of the +" continental
system !" and without which England
would never be compelled 10 accept a mari
time peace, so necessary 10 the Tepose OF
the world Bonaparte's application to the
Russian emperor Cn this head was accom-
psuied and enforced by statement of what
he himself had accomplished that he
had shut out the English from the ports of
the Adriatic, from she Elbe and the We
ser. English commerce was entirely ex-
Guided from all the ports OF his own domin-
ions, and those OF his ccnfederat es in a
certain degree to the temporary detriment
of his own subjects; and it now only re-
NAMED for the emperor Alexander to affix
his seal to this vast plan by closing his ports
in the Baltic, the only inlets he regretted
to say, which were at present open to she
English.
8 All this general Lauriston was instruct
ed to press upon the attention of the court
of St. Pe,ersburgh and also to say, that
his master by no means doubted the good
win of the Emperor, but rather the ability
of his government, which was too weak
to carry into execution the full inten-
tons of His Majesty. On this ground it
was, that the French government sought
the possession of the two ports in question,
and also as guarantee that the system of
exclusion should be followed up to its ut.
most extent.
A compliance with these demands ouid
have been equivalent to entire submission !;
aud that Russia has rejected them is evi.
dent. 1t now remains to be seen whether
the enemy will attemptto carry them into
effect by force.

From a late London Paper.

The opinion that good understanding
subsists between the Russian government
and cur own, seems every day to receive
new confirmation,
Mr.. Ga British subject, who had resid.
ed for some time in ST. Peterborough, is
just arrived in England from the Russian
capital, BY the special permission of the 60
vernment; and will be allowed to return
again the moment he has arranged the busi-
ness which has occasioned his visit to this
country.
This gentleman has communicated to
his friends the impression which was gene
rally felt at St. Petersburgh as to the AMIGA
bic disposition OF the emperor Alexander
toward this country. The fact, however,
which is most confidently averred, and
which there appears no reason to dispute.
of more than 200 ships from England hav-
ing entered the ports of Russia, in spite of
the remonstrances of the French govern.
ment, shows that the Emperor Alexander,
either from necessity or choice, has depart.
ed from the system planned for him by his
ally at Erfurth, and which was to cripple
the power of England by the exclusion oil
her commerce.
| Mr.. e. also states, that the quantity oil
colonial produ &c which the above ships con.
veyed to Russia was SO considerable, as to
occasion temporary glut in the markets.
and very considerably to reduce the prices
! AT the time of his leaving ST. Peterbur gh,
only one sentiment prevailed as to the pro
liability of war between France and kus.
