VHE article here recommend
ed must not be considered as adding one
more number to the already extensive cata-
logue of advertised Medicines: 1t is in fact an
amPOftant improvement only in well-known
composition.
The Embrocation contains three of the most
valuable articles to be met with In the whole
circle of Medicine, never before employed in
any other Opodeldoc, in addition to the other
ingredients usually made use Of in the hard
kind, and will be found on experiment at least
of three times its strength and effect. The
money will be cheerfully refunded to those
who, after having used one bottle, may think,
differently.
The Hon. SAMUEL L. MITcHILr., NJ. D. Ii.
d. one of the first Medical Professors in the
State Of New-York, has given a certificate in
its tavour-such authority you will not dispute.
Certificates also, from several respectable
citizens, are annexed to the directions, whO
have received the greatest benefit from the
Improved Liquid Opodeldoc,' when they had
previously used the hard kind TO no purpose
whatever. This article is asserted to be a
sovereign remedy in Bruises, Sprains, Govt,
rheumatism, Cramp, Numbness, Stiffness or
Weakness of the Neck or Joints, slight Burns,
|ocalds, fresh Wounds, Chllblains, &c.
For the use of Horses and Cattle in these
cases, it may be considered as inestimable.
As the whole family of mankind are liable
to these casualties, no prudent person should
be without bottle of it in their house.
II is prepared by J.. P. WITHHELD, whose
name is impressed on each bottle-without
which it is not genuine.
N. b. In cases Of acute Gout and Rheuma-
tism, a tea spoonful on going to bed, taken in
wardly, in wine-glass of cold water, has, in
conjunction with the external application Of it,
performed some most extraordinary cures.

on the Oh day OF June, 1928, at the house
of John G.. Lotion, in the county oil

The following persons were appointed

John G. Lotion, who reported the fol-
lowing resolutions
Resolved, That, although there may
be faults of minor importance in the con-

LATEST FROM SPAIN,

The brig Roth, captain Tear, has ar
rived at Philadelphia in very short pas
sage OF 90 days from Gibraltar. We are
disappointed, however in not finding in
the Philadelphia papers, any thing like
positive or satisfactory information from
Spain; as no papers, either from Gibral-
lar or Cadiz, have been received. Capt.
7. states, that a detachment of the
French army encamped within two miles
Of ST. Rogue, en- the 18Th July; that the
commander of it sent flag to Algcsiras,
demanding the surrender of that place,
which was refused by the Governor; and
that the women and children had fed
tror' ST. Rogue, to excape the expected
attack of the French upon the town, and
were encanpcd on the beach of the neu-
rA ground. The garrison would not
admit them. A private letter from Gil
braitar, dated 25d of July, says:
"Cadiz still holds out, and there is
not much probability of its surrendering
1t is reported tina, battle has been gain
ed by the Constitutionalists over the
French at Catalonia. Gen. Lallemand
is said to be in the neighborhood of Va

neighborhood, Taritfa, AIgeziras, and
ST. Rogue, are in the possession OF the
Constituencies, so that the. cause Of
the Spaniards is not desperate
The Congress frigate has arrived at
Gibraltar and sailed from thence on the
23d July for Cadiz, with Mr.. Nelson,

EDWARDsvLLE, SEPTEMBER 20, 1923.
.MESSRS. VEST e JUDF'S S1.4TE-
.NE.NTS.

In the Illinois Republican Of the 9th inst ap-
peared sundry documents, among which are
statements of Emanuel J. West, Esq. and Maj.
Jacob Judy, relative to the attack upon us by
Mr.. Smith, the senior editor of that paper, in
the month of July last.
1t is not necessary to our purpose, to enter
| upon a critical review of these statements
| Having the means TO invalidate the most ma
terial part, we may confidently appeal to the
public to judge of the correctness or i'll
correctness of the whole.
The following is the part of Mr.. Vests
statement, to which we aludc:
"Before got between them however, Mr..
S. struck Mr.. W. once or twice, with the
heavy end of his whip, when Mr.. w. snapped
his pistol at Mr.. s. and then got it from him
and it was thrown out of the front window ;
after hich Mr.. s. drew dirk from his side
and observed, snow you see you abusive
scoundrel, had the means of defence had
chosen to use them; and throwing it from him,
he commenced striking Mr.. w. with his whip,
and notwithstanding my interference he Sue
ceeded in giving him nine or ten blows. when
Mr.. w. consented to, and did acknowledge in
the presence of Mai. Judy and myself " That
what he had published in the Spectator against
Mr.. Smiths character was false, and that he
knew of nothing derogatory to his individual
character" Mr.. Smith, during the whole of
this transaction made no proposition, for the
concession to be mutual, but uniformly main
tanned, that, Mr.. w. was the offender, and that
from him PREPARATION or apology should come"
Major Judy's statement affirms Mr.. Vests
to be "correct in all its particulars"
At an interview with these gentlemen, on
Monday evening the LIST inst. the following
question was put to Major Judy, in writing:
"Did YOU hear me acknowledge that what
had published against him Mr.. SMITH was
false %
To which he answered, in writing, as fol-
lows:
ibid NOT HEAR YOU SAY ANY SUCH
THING. But heard you say something like
this that you had illusions to the press"
The same question was afterward put to Mr..
West, verbally. who had no knowledge Of the
answer previously given by Major Judy. He
at first attempted to shew, that as much might
be implied from what we had said; but upon
the repetition by us of the word "in.pIed" he
withdrew it, and substituted the broad asser-
ton in his statement. Two respectable citi-
zens of this place were present. and will testi.
fly to this fact, should it be denied.
Before separating. Mr.. West suggested to
Major Judy the propriety Of taking copy OF
the questions and answers which had passed
between ourselves and the latter gentleman.

there will be none during the absence Of
