REWAREOF Tho
well known efficacy of the Spiritus vi
tae, has been SO fully tested and sufficiently
proved, az almost an infalIible remedy for oil
the complaints enumerated in my advertise
Inent, and psrticolsrly since the recent euro
IN Now York Of Hydrophobia, by the use of
the Spiritus Vitae, number Of pretenders
without regard TO principle, whose solo object
~ gam, have sprung up, and arc hawking
about spurious article, represented by them
as the genuine Spiritus Vitae. But the pub
llc may rest assured, that the genuine article
cannot be obtained except Of me, or my au-
thorized agents.
u yhe Rev. David Pickering, invented the
| Spirltus Viiae,some 10 or l2 years ago, which
soon grew into repute. 81
some or 5 yeays ago, he appointed ne as
his sole agent for.i6is state, fer vending his
Spritus Vitae: whiclIi continued to sell as
his agent, until he was about TO move to Buff
| falo, which was In December, 1887.
A few days before his departure, he sold
to me his Recipe for making the Spiritus vi
tae, and gave me the following certificate,
from which the public will be satisfied, that
no other person has Recipe from him, for
the making the Spiritus Vitae, unless he has
forfeited his word and honor with me, which
no person acquainted with the well known
integrity Of Mr.. Pickering, will believe.
SAMITET. VOIING
TO THE EPUBLIC-Ths is to certify that
J have sold to SAMUEL YoUNs, my Recipe
for making the Spiritus Vitae, and rs have
not, and shall not dispose of said Recipe to
any other person, the public may rest assured
of obtaining the genuine article, by applying

From the National Gazette.
FRANCE, MEXICO AND TIE UNITED
STATES

Ono Of the most important sub bjects TO be
considered by Congress, is the course Of the
French Government with regard TO Mexico.
\ resolution respecting the matter has been
introduced by Mr.. Gushing, upon which no
debate has yet taken place. Mr.. Monroc's
opinion is cited, touching the duty of this re.
public to itself, 10 oppose The rcestabllshment
on this continent, Of any monarchcal au-
thority or influence. AS we have seen them
stated, we view many Of the claims Of France
upon Mexico, which have been maee the
ground Of hostlltics. as frivolous pretcxts for
depressing q nation at a moment when rcvo.
luton and domestic difficulties long continued
have rendered it comparatively dofenceless.
Before Louis PHILIPPE advances step farther,
our government should have distinct IN.
derstanding Of the whole scope Of his inten-
iions respecting our republican ncighbor.--
His personal position, or that of his family,
is by no means secure, and il is his urqucs-
toned policy, rs a sovereign, to strengthen
his own hands by enlarging the interests Of
his people, and winning their confidence and
affection, even with breach Of international
rights. Hence we wonder not that he do
sires the eclat of victory over the Mexi-
cans, TO be followed at least nv the subsian-
iial advantages Of q treaty pc, uliary favorable
Ia the commerce OF France, II by 10 broader
concessions.

THE CAPTURE OF VERA CRUZ.

lHE CAPlUKE OF VERA CRUZ.
| We have been at loss to account for the
great havoc and loss of life in the bombard-
ment of the Castle of Vera Cruz, by the
French Fleet; but since this, we have seen
a pamphlet translated from the French, hy
Lieut.. Dahlgrcen, of the Navy, containing a
series of experiments with bonb-cnnnon, a
recent discovery, and now in general use in
the French steamers, floating batteries, and
ships of war. From this it will appear that
Naval warfare is undergoing great change,
from the introduction Of one of the most de-
structive engines in modern times. The
| bomb-cannon is all invention 10 throw shells,
instead of shot, as now in use; and from the
result of experiments, it has exceeded all
expectation. BY the report of Commission.
appointed to try experiments, in the first trinl,
one Of these cannon was fonted OF small
pontoon, about GAO yards from an S0 gun ship,
moorcd, and The first shot was frcd the
bomb entered low down, making breach of
70 l-2 inches diameter in the ships side, which
was % inches thick it had torn f.2 feet Of
the inner plank and, then exploding, made a
hole in the orlop deck of or 3 feet; knocked
and scattered to atoms more than leo square
| feet of timber.
/ A number Of other shots were fired, with
more or less effect and the results obtained
from several trials we're, that one or two
bombs Of this kind bursting in battery would
make such confusion as would cause the sur
render Of the vessel.
Il The Commission proves satisfactorily the
II immense benefit that would arise from it in
arming steamers and floating batteries, ior
the protection of harbors. &c; and the author
takes occasion to remark, that it is expected
to do great execution in the attack on Vera
Cruz, which has been fearfulIy realized.--
