LONDON, DEC. 6.
Letters have been received this NOR
ming by one of the expresses from Pa
ris, dated Barcelona, Nov. 25. They
state that extraordinary exertIons had
been made in that city to procure re-
cruits for the levy decreed by the Span
lsh Government, the avowed object of
which was to send troops to South A
merlca, but that they had entirely fail
ed; the Junta of Catalonia having been
unable TO raise more than one-third of
the number required from that province
although they had gradually raised the
bounty offered to each recruit from one
to eight ounces of gold. The Junta, to
avoid unpleasant consequences from the
Government, had drawn up represent
tation, in which they enumerate the eff
forts which they have made, and deplore
their inutiiity.

LONDON, DEC. 8.
We have received this morning Span
ish papers, in which we find long ac-
count ofthe punishment of the Consti-
tutionalists, for the pretended murders
OF Royallst prisoners at Corunna. in Ju-
ly, 1923. The whole story is very sus-
Picious-there could have been no pos
sible temptation to kill the prisoners in
the Tanner and at the time in question,
especially as Corunna was then invested
by the French. The only murders, in
all probability, are those ofthe men who
have been just executed. If there be
any foundation for the story, the Royal
lists probably attempted 10 overpower
the crew of the vessel conveying them
from one prison to another.

INDIAN SPECIFIC.

For the cure of Colds, Coughs, Consumptions,
Splitting of Blood, asthmas, and all dis
eases of THE Breast and Lungs.
UyHERE is perhaps no medical observation
better established, none more generally
confirmed, by the experience OF the best ply
sicians, of all ages and countries, and none OF
more importance to the human family, than
the fact that many of the most difficult and in"
durable consumptions originate in neglected
colds. In climate so variable as ours where
the changes of the weather are frequently
sudden and unexpected, it requires more
care and attention to guard against this dam
gerous enemy of life than most people ina
CINE, or are able and willing to bestow. The
bills of mortality exhibit the melancholy fact
that the proportion of deaths by this disease,
NAV be considered as about five to one. In
asrnuch then as this fatal disease bids defiance
to the skill of the most learned physicians, it
is qualification to the proprietor that he is
enabled to offer to those afflicted with it, a
poodly prospect of relief, in that highly valu-
able remedy the Vegetable INDIAN SPECI-
FIG. The Indians are happy in their know
ledge of medical plants; governed wholly by
experience, they are certain as to their effect,
and it is said by an author Of great character,
that true consumption is disease never
known among them.
The celebrated Dr. Cullen has taught us,
that sour first attention should be employed in
watching the approach of the disease and pre-
venting its proceeding to an incurable state;
and in persons Of consumptive habit, espe-
cially those born of consumptive parents, the
slightest symptoms Of an approaching con-
sumption at the consumptive period OF LITE
ought carefully to be attended to-
This Specific is obtained oy extraction
from herbs, roots, flowers, plants, &c. when
in perfection. In consequence OF happy
combination of the most valuable herbs, &c. it
becomes balsam of superior value. 1t heals
the injured parts, opens the pores, and COM
poses the disturbed nerves, after the manner
Of an anodyne, consequently the obstruction
of the chest and the lungs which constitute
this disease, particularly need its use. 1t pro-
notes expectoraion, which is constantly call
ed for, and whilst it cleanses and heals, it also
gives strength to the tender lungs. In this
manner it removes the hectic fever, improves
digestion, gives strength to the nerves, re-
pairs the appetite and improves the spirits
This specific may always be given in safety,
it is mild, pleasant to the taste, and may safely
be given to infants, for which it is of inestma-
BILE value. 1t affords relief in bowel com,
plants, teething, whooping coughs, &c; ana
Is found particularly useful in hyPochondn.Gai,
nervous and hysterical diseases. Each Dui OF
directions contains detailed account OF tls
disease in all its different stages, and VIII De
accompanied with the signature OF ". bo
Err. in red ink. without which il cannot De
