II —■■■ I r,aturDay to ifWoitDuiy'# IJoot#. LONDON, Nov. 11. j THE Paris papers to Thursday's date have been I received. The Council of State appointed by the King of the French, to take into consideration the letter of the Bishop of Chalons, has given its decision I against the claims of the Church, and the King has in Consequence issued a Royal Ordonnance, in which it is declared that there is an abuse of authority in the claims of the Bishop, that the Bishop was guilty of afts injurious to the University and the teachers, and disturbed the consciences of children and the con- 8ciencies of their families. This just decision will give satisfaction to all liberal and independent minds, and ought to convince the opponents of Louis Philippe that he will protect them at least from one tyranny, and that not the least galling, the tyranny of the priests.—The Journal des Debates has an article on the late events fit Lahore, which takes a more impartial and unpreju- diced view of the position of England, with respect to that country, than the Commerce, and some other Paris journals. the writer, in fact, admits that the acqui- sition of territory in India, and the probable acquisition of more, has arisen more from the force of circum- stances than any regular plan of conquest. When ^ord Ellenboroiigb," it says, took possession of the government of India, in 1841, his first act was to pub- "sh a proclamation, in which he protested against the usurping policy of the Government which preceded him, and declared that Great Britain wished to shut herself within the limits of her own territory, without I ^"(erfernig further in tha wars carried on by its in- dependent neiffhboiirs. Anu %■<>♦ the new Co»ernor- • General found bitaself obliged to yield to necessities j not of his own creation. He found himself bound to become a conqueror and usurper, in spi'e of himself, It was in this way he was obliged to make a campaign to the very farthest point of Afghanistan, to recover the small remains of the English army which escaped from the famous disaster of Caubul, and to return, leaving behind him the utmost terror as well as hatred of the name of England. It was thus that he was forced to add to the English empire the whole of the territory of Sinde, and to convert into an English province a <c°untry which commands the mouths of the Indus and ftll the commerce of Central India and once more it is thus, that he is about to find himself under the inevitable Necessity of interfering as an arbiter, and probably as a Sovereign, 'n t'ie disputes which have deluged the kingdom of Lahore with blood. The dominion of ^'inject Sing had alone given to the empire of the Sikhs a certain unity, which gave to its communications Europe a certain eclat, but it was evident that after the death of the Lion of the Punjaub, as he was called, this eclat would disappear, and that factitious unity jvould crumble into dust. This is exactly what bits happened. Runjeet Sing died in 1839, and from that tine the kingdom of Lahore has been almost blotted Oot of history. It re-appears once more upon the Stage, but probably for the last time. as an independent country, and just as it is on the eve of being engulphed In the absorbing empire of British India."—The Minis- ter of War has received a dispatch from Marshal ""Ceaud. dated Algiers, Oct. 28, enclosing a report Jr°m Colonel Eynard, dated Oct. 24, from the neigh- bourhood of Miliauah, and another from General Marey, dated Medeah, Oct. 26. They are very satisfactory as showing the general submission of the tribes, but com- municate no particular fact of importance. The latest intelligence from Madrid is coutained in *he following telegraphic dispatch from Bayonnc of the 7th»received on Thursday, by the French Government: On the 4th, the Congress, finally constituted itself. Id. Olozaga has been appointed President. MM. Alcon, llizarredo, Pidal, and Gonzales Bravo, have been appointed Vice-Presidents. MM. Roca de Fo- K°res, Nocedal, Salido, and Posada Herrera have been ?Ppointed Secretaries."—The Madrid papers of the 2d *n*t state, that Senor Bernabea had brought forward his motion against Ministers, and charged them with "Oativ unconstitutional acts among others, the decla- ration of the Queen's majority without the convocation Of an extraordinary Cortes, the contract with M. Sala- manca, and the lawless conduct of the agents of Go- vernment in tearing down certain printed papers from Ihe usual places of publication without any legal au- *hority. Senor Lopez defended the Government, and -aid, the Cabinet, of which he was the chief, had only taken office from A sense of public duty, and had ill all things sought to carry out the national will, and to pro- mole the prosperity of the country. He denied that he and his colleagues had violated the Constitution. As to the Bill for declaring the Queen's majority, it was "rnught fairly and constitutionally before Chambers freely elected and under no influence from the Govern- ment, and added that the Ministers intended to abstain from voting on the question. With respect to the con- tract with M. Salamanca, M. Lopez said that there 'Could be no infringement of the Constitution as it had 110t been signed, and the Chambers had to deliberate !|Pon it. He then alluded to the charge against the Ministry, of having ordered or sanc'ioned the removal of certain papers from the walls of Madrid, and read a Portion of them, leaving it to the Chamber to say whether they were not of so infamous a character as to Justify what was done without the previous decision of tribunal. The speech was much applauded When had concluded, the Chamber adjourned -The intel- "Sence in the Madrid journals of the 3d, is not impor- tant. The Minister of War had applied io Congress to ^Qfirm the levy of 26,000 men raised by decree, when the question was referred to a Committee.-A Barce- 10na paper of the 1st states, that the junta had issued order, forbidding any money being taken out of Barcelona, except it be a sum of less than 100 reals, "ore troops are sending from Tarragona, but ammu- nition is required for the siege of Girona.

The anticipated re construction of her Cabinet Is confirmed but from the absenoe of the Duke de Palmella and the Marquis Saldanha from Lisbon, the official notification of the new appointments have not yet taken place.- The insurrection in favour of Espar- to continued at Vigo; the town is in a state of h'ockade, in consequence of the National Guard having declared in favour of the Central Junta, and, und^r the commaud of General Iriarte, being prepared to defend the town against the Captain-General of Galicia, J?ho was advancing agains' it wi'h 4000 troops of the "tie, Ti,e important fortress of Ferrol has joined the Movement. .The intelligence from Alexandria is to the 26th ult. ^•ehernet Ali was on the point ot leaving Cairo, for P e2» to examine the plan submitted to him by the French engineer, Gallice Bey, for fortifying the place, p*d to give directions for commencing the works. The acha had abandoned the intention of cousmictinsi a ailroad between Boulak and Suez, and was anxious fe-open the canal of Beni-el-As, by which those °wns formerly communicated. In a letter from Alex- ftI,dria, of the above date, we find the following news: The renunciation by the Pacli* of the monopoly of "e cotton trade, which was at first only partial with ,cerf ill members of his family, has been now made general, and d eaiings in this article have become per- I ectly free> This enfranchisement omes very appro- 08 at this moment, when cotton has resumed its favour, ^d promises to play a brilliant part in the markets of ^Wope." The arrival at Falmouth of her Majesty's packet Pn^rutw, furnishes news from Rio de Janeiro to the 7th of September. On the 3d of that month, the be- fothed Empress and her brother arrived at Rio de aneiro, and on the following day the Imperial mar- 'age was celebrated As the Legislative Chambers ?^ere still sitting, and thousand of the most respectable ^habitants of our cities had flocked to Rio de Janeiro, "at city was crowded with spectators, who testified r joy on the happy event faking place, in a most ,q ^•"iking and affecting manner.

The business of the leading discount houses of the City has in fact assumed a healthy degree of activity, and capital that has lain dormant, or nearly so, for a long time past, has again been partly brought into circulation. The rate of in- tetest upon the most approved securities has advanced to within a fraction of the charge made by the Bank of England for advances, except on firs'-rate bills.

During the week many rather large transactions were noted, principally real investments.—In the Stock-market business has not been brisk, but there were several contracts for the first transfer-day next week, and prices appeared to be rather better supported than at the close of business yesterday, one cause of the depression then being, as is alleged, a few speculative sales for January.

An Extraordinary Gazette published on Thursday night, chiefly on account of the numerous notices which are required to be published relative to private bills, contains an Order in Council, at the suggestion of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, for vesting the patronage of Barnton Christ Church in the Bishop of Chester for the time being of Chester Christ Church in the same Bishop of Colue Christ Church in the Vicar of Whalley for the time being of Leighton St, Peter, in the Bishop of Chester; of Shirley St. James, in the Rector of Solihull forthe time being; and of Wits den St. Matthew, in the Vicar of Bradford for the time being.—The same Gazette also contains an Order in Council constituting an Archdeaconry of Manchester, and authorising the Bishop of Chester to appoint the Archdeacon. The Gazette of yesterday announces, that at the Court held at Windsor on that day, it was ordered by her Majesty in Council, that the Parliament, which stands prorogued to Tuesday the 14th day of November inst., be further prorogued to Tuesday the 19th day of December next.—The Gazette also contains an Order in Council, directing that the Archdeaconry and Deanery of Llandaff shall forthwith be disunited, and become from henceforth two separate and distinct dig- nities and offices. Thursday being the anniversarsy of the Prince of Wales s birth-day, the Foot Guards and Life Guards stationed at Windsor marched at an early hour in the morning into the Park, in front of the Castle, where the infantry fired a feu-de-joie. The Foot Guards then marched past the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince ilbert, who, attended by several of the Royal suite, &.c.. were beneath the Castle Terrace. The Foot Guards passed by companies, and the Cavalry followed in squadrons. The military then formed in line and saluted. Her Majesty and the Prince having retired, the troops quilted the Park, preceded by their respective bands, and returned to their different bar- racks.—The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Hohenlohe Langen- bourg, took their customary morning walk within the precincts of the Castle; and in the evening her Ma- jesty's had a dinner party in celebration of the day. Her Majesty held Privy Council on Friday at Windsor Castle, which was attended by Prince Albert, Lord Wharncliffe, the President, Sir R. Peel, Sir James Graham, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir E. Knatchbull, and the Earl of Jersey. Parliament was ordered to be prorogued from the 14th inst. to Tuesday, December 19. Mr. Aston, the British Ambassador at Madrid, had an audience of her Majesty on his return from that capital, and the Hon. R Abercromby had an audience of leave on his return to his mission to Turin. After the Council, the several Ministers returned to town. The Queen has forwarded 100/. towards the fund in progress of collection for the purpose of building new churches at Woolwich. It has for the last fortnight been rumoured that her Majesty intends to have a marine villa erected at Cowes, Isle of Wight, as an occasional residence during the summer and autumnal months. The Woodsand Forests have, it is said, caused an employe to survey and inspect the Osborne and Norris properties at East Cowes as a preliminary, and that such agent was there last week to carry out his instructions from that department of the Government. The Queen, it will be recollected, when Princess, resided for some time at Norris Castle, and has always manifested considerable partiality to that spot, as it combines beautiful marine scenery, with a privacy not to be generally met with at watering places. Two of the ministerial papers uf this morning contain articles which will somewhat startle many of the good old Church of England folks who helped to turn out the late Ministry because they were not Protestant enough for them. The Times recommcnds that the Collegeof Maynooth shall be more liberally patronised, and be made fit to receive gentlemen;" and the Morning Herald recommends two Roman Catholic Universities shall be founded by Government in Ire- land. On Tuesday last, the Lord Mayor Humphery, gave his last official entertainment at the Mansion House. The guests who upon this occasion partook of his Lord- ship's hospitality, were upwards of fifty of the leading dissenting clergymen of the metropolis, together with some of the most influential laymen of the several de- nominations. The occasion was marked by some very decided observations hv Dr. Bunting, on the necessity of upholding full religious liberty, and this distin- guished leader of the Wesleyan body eulogised the conduct of the members of his denomination in their late struggle for educational freedom. The Lord Mayor, Rev. John Burnet, Dr. Reid, Dr. Leifchild, and others, also warmly espoused similar sentiments. Alderman Magnay, the new Lord Mayor, was sworn into office with the usual formalities, at the Guildhall, on Wednesday last. The customary pageant atten- dant on the inauguration of the Lord Mayor onThursday differed but little from those of preceding years. The procession moved from the Guildhall at twelve o'clock, and repaired with the usual civic and water-side re- joicings, to Westminster; and on its return was joined at the Obelisk, Bridge street, by the Ambassadors, her Majesty's Ministers, the Nobility, Judges, Members of Parliament, and other persons of distinction invited to the banquet at the Guildhall in the evening, which was on a scale of unrivalled splendour and magnificence. The Lord Mayor was supported on his right by theiate Lord Mayor (Alderman Humphery, M P.), the Lord Chancellor, Sir It Peel, Sir James Graham, Sir E Knatchbull, Sheriff Musgrove and Lady, the Right Hon W. E. Gladstone, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Lincoln, Sir G. Murray, several Ambassadors and Ministers; and on bis left, by the Lady Mayoress, the late Lady Mayoress, Chief Justice Tindal, and several of the Judges, the Attorney-General, several Serjeants-at-Law, the City Members, Messrs. Master- man, Lyall, and Pattison, Colonel T. Wood., and other Members of Parliament, R. Sumner, Esq., High She- riff of Surrey, the Recorder, Aldermen, Chamberlain, Town Clerk, and other city officers.- The company separated shortly after eleven o'clock. The Act of last Session, which was passed to enable her Majesty to acquire lands for the purposes of en- larging the several Dock-yards, is about to be put into operation with respect to the arsenal at Woolwich. Ab )ut fifty houses, it is said. are to be pulled down to enlarge the Dock-yard. — There are forty-seven sec tlnns in the Act in question. It is provided that the Admiralty Commissioners may enter upon lands for the purpose of surveying and valuing them, without being deemed trespassers. Compensation is to be awarded, and. in the event of disputes, the matter is to he referred to a jury. The Commissioners are au- thorised to stop up roads and to open others to carry on the required improvements. By the 39th clause it is enacted that tenants by the year or will (many of whom are understood to have received notice) are to quit on three months' notice, without reference to the time ai which it is given; in case a tenant is called upon to yield possession before the expiration of his term or interest, he shall be entitled to satisfaction and cotnpensa'ion for the loss or damage which he shall sustain thereby. In case of the appointment of a Lord High Admiral, then the acquired lands to vest in him. The Act has reference to the Dock-yards at Woolwich, Sheerness, Catham. Portsmouth, Gosport, Devonport, and Pembroke. The Commissioners or their agents cannot enter upon or take, without the consent of the owner, any land which shall not be situated within 700 yards from the boundary of one of the establishmen's; the powers to purchase under this Act to cease in seven years. In the interpretation clause of the Act, which is declared to be a public one, it is mentioned that the word lands" shall include all lands, houses, buildings, grounds, and tenements, both corporeal and incorpo- real, of every description and tenure. The Standard says-" We believe that we may state with confidence that no intention whatever at present exists of calling Parliament to assemble for the dispatch of business before the usual time, namely, the first week in February." Two splendid thoroughbred horses were shipped in the Peninsular steam-packet, the Pasha, at Southamp- ton, on Thursday, for Lisbon, being a present from Queen Victoria to the Queen of Portugal. Col. Merrick Shaw, formerly secretary to the Mar- quis Wellesley, when that nobleman was Lord Lieut, of Ireland, died at Kingstown, near Dublin, a few days ago. The Marquis of Aylesbury has forwarded a donation of 1001 in aid of the restoration fund of York Minster. The Bishop of London has appointed the Rev. John Sinclair, treasurer of the National Society for the Edu- cation of the Poor, and the Vicar of Kensington, to the Archdeaconry of Middlesex, vacated by the pro- motion of the Rev J. Lonsdale to the See of Lichfield. The appointment of Clerk of the Clergy Returns in the Privy Council-office has become vacant by the death of the lion. Edward Ernest Villiers, brother to the Earl of Clarendon, at Nice. Mr. Villiers was the third son of the late Hon George Villiers and Lady Theresa Parker, sister to the late Earl of Morley. The election for the borough of Kendal took place on Wednesday last, when Mr. H. Warburton was re- turned by a majority of 63 votes, the numbers at the close of the poll being-for Mr. Warburton, liberal, 182; for Mr Bentwick, conservative, 119. Mr. Tighe having followed the example of Mr. More O'Perrall, and declined servingon the Peel Commission of Inquiry into the State of the Land Tenure in Ireland, Mr. Redington, M.P. and Lord Carew, are nominated in their places. The Commission will, therefore, con- sist of the Earl of Devon,' chairman, Mr. Wynne, Mr. Hamilton, Lord Carew, and Mr. Redington. The Statue of Nelson was raised on Saturday on the column erected in Trafalgar-square, and the flag which is seen floating over the figure. or rather the scaffold- ing by which it was raised, for little of the statue is at present to be seen, is the identical flag under which the Hero fell on the memorable occasion of his last great- est achievement and death, the Ba'tle of Trafalgar. The Rev. Dr. William Hodgson, Masterof St. Peter's College, Cambridge, was elected on Tuesday Vice- Chancellor of that University for the ensuing year. On the occasion of resigning his office, the late Vice- Chancellor (the Rev. Dr. W. Whewell) delivered a Latin oration in the Senate House, congratulatory of the auspicious event which had just taken place, and eulogising the general conduct of the entire Academic Body on the occasion of the Royal visit. A War-office circular and warrant for establishing and regulating regimental savings-banks has just been issued, with the necessary forms for deposi $. Sir Henry Hardinge's circular, which is dated October 31, 1843, states that these savings-banks are established with the important object of encouraging habits of pru- dence and economy in the British soldier, and thereby of diminishing, as much as possible, all temotalion to intemperance and its consequence, insubordination. The regimental savings-bank will afford every soldier the means of profitably depositing his small savings, whether at home or abroad, under Government security, and will At the same time give to him every practicable facility of withdrawing his accumulation whenever he may require it for any useful purpose. The Lord Chancellor has issued a new scale of fees and allowances to Attorneys acting in fiats of Bank- ruptcy, and also to the Messengers of the various Courts of Bankruptcy throughout the country, and their aisis- tants. By the former regulations it was found that the scale of allowances to attorneys engaged in fiats of bankruptcy were so low that in very many cases they recommended their clients to assign their property, offer composition, and in fact do any thing rather than have the docket struck against them. This was found to have so injurious an effect upon the benefits intended to be conferred by the Act, that representations were made to the Lord Chancellor on the subject by the Law Association both at Manchester and Liverpool. The result has been, that his Lordship has given his sanction to n new scale of fees and allowances, which has met the approbation of all parties concerned in the matter, and which will have the effect of increasing the business considerably, particularly in the district courts. The Irish Arms Bill came into operation on Monday last, by the appointment of the Lord Lieutenant in Council. It contains sixty-fonr sections, with a sche- dule of forms annexed, giving information respecting the registration of arms, the importation, manufacture, and sale of arms, gunpowder, and ammunition. There is one clause in this Act which is a somewhat new pro- vision, but one which has been framed with the view of saving parties from ignorantly disobeying its various enactments. It is required that the Lord Lieutenant shall cause an abstract of the provisions of the Act to be prepared, and shall, in such manner as he shall con- sider convenient, cause such abstract to be printed, published, posted, or distributed, for the information of all persons in Ireland affected by the same. From the day mentioned the Acts now in force relating to the keeping of arms will cease and determine, and all ap- plications must be made under the new statute. By the preamble it is declared, that it has been found necessary to prevent improper persons from having arms in Ireland, and divers enactments have from time to time been made for that purpose, and also to regulate 'he importation, manufacture, and sale of arms, gun- powder, and ammunition, within that part of the United Kingdom; and whereas it i? expedient to amend the said enactments, and to make further provisions for the like purposes;" wirhin twenty-one days before the general sessions of the peace to be held next after the commencement of the Act, persons in the several dis- tricts desirous of keeping arms shall make application in the form prescribed, which applications are to be entered in books kept by the clerks of the petty justices, and they (the clerks) are to transmit a list of tbe same to the clerks of the peace ten days before the sessions are held. Justices are to inquire into the fitness of the applicants, whom they may examine, and on the licenses an abstract of the penalties is to be printed for the guidance of the parties. Arms are to be numbered and marked for the several localities, and penalties men- tioned for disobedience. Persons carrying arms may be examined, with power to magistrates to enforce the same. unices may withdraw licenses, and all persons who do not deliver up their arms and licenses are liable to penalties. Houses may be entered to seize arms and pikes. It is provided that no gunpowder shall be im- ported or manufactured without permission from the Lord Lieutenant.—The Act is to continue in force two years from the day named by the Lord Lieutenant, and to the end of the next session of Parliament. RANGEII V. THE GtuUT WESTERN RAILWAY COM- pANV.—-The Vice Chancellor went specially down to Lin- coln s Inn last week to deliver his judgment in this great canse, which consumed nearly the whole of the last Christ. mas holidays in argument, as well as several subsequent days after Hilary Term. Mr. Ranker, the plaintiff, in 1836, en- tered into four extensive contracts with the Gieal Western Railway Company for the execution of Urge portions of the line between Bath and Bristol, and also near Reading, for sums amounting to several hundred thousand pounds. In 1837 and 1838 the Company became disMttisfied at the delay of the works, and the manner in which thev were performed and availed themselves, in July, 1838, of the provisions of their contracts, which gave an unlimited power to their principal engineer to declare a forfeiture of the plaintiff's work, plant, and materials, upon previous notice of his dis- satisfaction. The Company remaining in possession of the works, Mr. Ranger filed his bill to obtain relief in equity against the forfeiture, alleging that he was defrauded and imposed upon with reference to the strata through which the cutlingj were to be made; that he had failed in exe- cuting the contract through the fraudulent conduct of Mr. Brunei, in refusing to certify that his work was properly performed, by which he would have received payment for about three-fourths of the value of the work as it proceeded an,1 also in certifying for less than the fair value; and the aibili-ary powers into which the plaintiff had incautiously entered with the Company, had been used most tyrannically against him by Mr. Brunei, who was himself a sha eholder in the Company, for the purpose of working a forfeiture, and obtaining possession of his works without rendering any account. The Company, on the other hand, denied every allegation of fraud, or attempt to take advantage of Mr. Ranger, who, they alleged, had nnderaken contracts beyond 0 his resources; and they contended that they had only made a fair use of the powers necessarily given them over their contractors to enable them to complete the Parliamentary engagementf- within the period limited.—His Honour dis. in issed the bill with costs, so far as related to charges of fraud in reference to the straia, the certificate of work done, and the taking possession of parts of the works, which he considered a necessary step on the part of the Company in their own defence against the increasing slowness of the plaintiff; and he did not think there was any ground for the ohjeclton to Mr. Brunei as a shareholder, or for the com plaint of the contracts as oppressive, which was refuted by the ptaintiff himself in taking one contract after another; but the question of what work had been done, and what should be paid for it, must be the subject of further inquiry.— The total number of folios in these proceedings was upwards of 6736. for which an office copy charge of 10d. per folio was paid, exclnsive of voluminous affidavits; the Counsels' fees were nearly 3000 guineas, and the short-hand writers' bills amounted to nearly 4001.

THE AMERICAN MEDICINE. 1 Dr. Moffat's Life Pilit and Pheenix Hitters. ^HESE Medicines have long been known through- 1 out the American Continent, and appreciated for their »%• traordiuary and immediate powers of restoring perfect health to persons suffering under nearly every kind of disease to which the human frame is liable. In many hundreds of certified instances, tbey have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of an untimely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums ol the day had oiterly failed; and to many thousands they have permanently seenred that uniform enjoy- ment of health, without which life itself is but a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy invariably and infallibly proved, that it has appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those wbe were unacquainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which they conse- quently act. The first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowelll the various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened faeces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicincs only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitual cosliveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known tn all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels after death, and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against the quack medicines of the age. The aeoond effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means Ihe fiyerand the lungs, theheatthfut action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red colour from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a oleaa stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of tbe system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming oheek. The following are among the distressing variety of hnmaa diseases, to which the Vegetable Life Pills are well known to be itilailiblt DYSPEPSIA, bl thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a How of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind ;-Flaltdmcy, Palpitation of the Heart, Lots of Appetite, Heartburn and Headache, Restlessness, IU-temper, Anxiety, Langour, and Melancholy, which are the general s) mploms of Dyspepsia, will vauisb ai a natural consequence of ils cure. Cosiiveuesv, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence: all violent purges leave the bowels costive within two days. Diart-hao and Cholera, by removing the sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative secretions of the mucous membrane. Fevers oj all kinds, bv restoring the blood to a regular circulation through the process of perspiration in some cases, aud tbe thorough solution of all intestinal obstructions in others. The Life Medicines have been known to care Rheumatism permanently in three weeks, and Gout in half that time, by re- moving local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints. Dropsies of alt kinds, by lieeing and strengthening the kidneys aud bladder; they,operate moat delightfully on those important organs, and iience have ever been toulld a certain remedy for the worse cases of Gravel. Also Wurms, by dis- lodging from Ihe turnings of the bowels the slimy matter to which these creatures adhere Asthma and Consumption, by relieving the air vessels olllte lungs from the mucus, which even slight colds will occasion, which, it not removed, becomes hardened, and pro- duces those dreadful diseases. Scurvy, Ulcers, and Inveterate Soies, by the perfect purity which these Life Pills give to the blood and all the humours-, Scutbulic JSiuptions and Bud Com- plexions, by their alterative effect upon the fluids that feed the skin, tbe morbid state of which occasions all Eruptive complaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions. Tbe use of these Pills for a tery short time will effect an entire cure of Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, aud a striking improvement in the Clearness of the Skin. Common Colus and hiflueuza will always be cured by one dose, or by two, even in the worst cases. Piles—as a remedy for this roost ilistreusing and obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills deserve a distinct and emphatic recommendation. It is well known lo bundieiis in the city ol New York, that the originator of these invaluable Pills was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwarus of thirty-ifve years, and that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of tbe Materia Me. dica. He, however, at length tried the medicine which is now otlered to the public, and he was cared in a very short time, after his recovery had beeu piooounced s,ot ouly improbable, but ab- solutely impossible, by any uuuiati means. The Life Metlicine will uever fail to eradicate entirely all the effects of Mercury, infinitely soouer than tbe most powerful pre- parations of Sarsaparilla, and will immediately core tbe determi. nation of BLOOD 10 THE HEAD; never fail in the sickness incident to young females; and wi'l be found a certain remedy in all cases of nervous debility and weakness of the most impaired constitutions.
