No one remedy is louder called for by the neces-
sites OF the American people than sure and sAie
cure for Fever and A@uc. such II remedy we are
now enabled to offer, with perfect certainty that
il will eradicate the disease, and with assurance
founded on proof that no harm can arise. from lis
Use in amy quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dsor-
der must be OF immense service in the cOmmuni
ties where it prevails. Prevention is better than
cure, Tor tile patient escapes tile risk which hc must
run IN violent attacks of this balefu distemper.-
This g Cure eXpels the miasnatic poison Of Fever
and que from the system and prevents the drvcl-
opment of the disease, if taken the first ap-
proach of its PremOnitory symptoms. tt is not
only the best remedy ever yet discovered for this
class of complaints, but also the cheapest. The
large quantity We supply foradollar brings it with
in The reach Of everybody and in bilious districts
where Fever and \ A-ue prevails, every body should
have 1t aud 1t freely both for cure and protec
tion. 1t is hoped that this lice will place il with
ia the reach of al-the poor we'll as the rich. A
great superority of this remedy over any other
discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Inter
mittcuts j., that it contains no Quinine or miner
AL consequently il produces no quinIsm OF other
injurious effects whatever upon the constitution
Those cured bv it are left healthy as if they had
never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmdiic poison. \ great variety of dsur-
ders arise from ITS irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumati m Gout, Headache Blind
Lcas. Toothache, Earachc CatarrIt, Asthma, PaIpi.
tatiun Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, aud DeTange-
mcnt of the stomach, all of which, when originat-
ing in this cause, put on the Intermittent type, or
become periodical. The . Cure CNpels the poison
from the blood, and consequently cures them all
like. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling temporarily resid

lie excreted from the system, and c;tnno. accumu-

EXTRAORDINARY NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE
One of our contemporaries is much afflicted with
sporadic attacks Of enterprise, which we greatly
fear, should they be Of frequent occurrence, will
coon exhaust its constitution. Some time ago it
published treaty between Great Britain and
Nicaragua, which it called the Ouseley Jerez
Convention, purporting to have been made by
Sir VIM. Gore Ouseley and General Jerez; but
it turned out that no such treaty had been made
at all-our cotcmporary's mares nest being sim
ply slight modification Of the Cass- Yrisarri
treaty, got up to suit the existing feeling at the
time. More recently it has produced an alleged
treaty with Paraguay, which is no more like the
Bowlin treaty than that of Vienna, manufac-
tured, also, to accord with somebody's views on
the Paraguay question.
The same journal, in companionship with an
other city contemporary, has made the extraordi-
nary exertion lately of publishing a supplement
in imitation of the HERAJD's now almost daily
cripple shect;" but it takes them just week to
get the supplement out, and it always happens
to appear just on the day when there is least
news to justify an extra issue. The HERALD

The News.

The Arago reached this port yesterday morning
from southampton, with English papers containing
details of news to the 4th inst, and the Nova
Scotia telegraph line having resumed operations,
we have received the balance of the news to the
9th brought by the Yigo. The latest dispatches
from the seat of war in Italy show that the Aus
TRANS, although for period OF seven days occu-
piers of Sandman SOIL had accomplished nothing
whatever save the power to levy small forced con-
tributions upon the enemy. Heavy rains had
fallen, swelling the rivers and filing the low lands
so as to retard military operations, thus seriously
diminishing the probability Of the Austrians
obtaining any signal advantage before the
allied forces are ready to oppose them. The effect
OF war thus early upon Austria is observable in
the fact of the failure of extensive Vienna bank
ing house, whose liabilities are stated to be ten
millions of dollars In London the financial excite
ment had entirely subsidized. The rate of interest
at the Bank had been increased to four and half
per cent. Consols had fuctuated slightly but
closed on the 9th at 90l for money and account.
The speculatiOns in breadstufis and provisions had
abated but no change in rates is reported There
is nothing later than the 18th respecting the cotton
market.
We give to-day correct copy of the war decla-
ration of Napoleon against Austria and rcpublish
In parallel columns with II the previous manifesto
OF Francis Joseph in order that the peculiar points
of the TWO papers may be more readily seen. Ma
poleon was expected to leave Paris on the 9th in
slant, the day the elder Napoleon left to fight the
battle of Marengo. Our London correspondent
states that great alarm TO the future position of
England prevailed all over the Kingdom. The an.
nouncement of the Russ-French alliance reached
Queen Victoria when at dinner with the Duke of
Saxe-Coourg and the heir apparent to the throne of
Portugal. The news so affected her Majesty that
she had to retire The official journal of ST. Pc
tersburg denies that an " offensive and defensive
treaty of alliance has been made with France or
any other Power, but makes no mention of an
agreement with France as has been officially an
nounced to the English government.
The next news from Europe will reach us by the
following steamships, all of which arc at sea to-day
