ADVICE. ENCOURAGED by the uniform success at. A-14 tending their peculiar method of treatment in the cure of a few prevalent complaints, which has been confirmed by the experience of many years in a large and extensive practice; sensible also of the happy effects resulting to the public from medical men confining their attention to a cer- tain class of diseases; Messrs. GOSS and CO. continue to direct their studies to those disorders arising from a Secret Destructive. Habit of inconsiderate youth, which not only occasions a numerous train of nervous affections, but also en- tails on its votaries all theeaervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of DEBILITY or DEFICIENCY, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, excessive drinking, long residence in hoticlimates, or any other cause, by which the powers of the ccnstitntion become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgebnsbf London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restorationVo stand and vigorous health. Where an early application V ade for the cure of a CERTAIN DISORDER, freq el contracted in a moment of inebriety, the cradica generally completed in the short space of two^days and in the more advanced and in» vcterate steles ofWenckeal Infection, characterized by a variety or puinful Mid disVessing symptoms, a perseverance in their ulai^withmWesraint in diet or exercise) will in- sure to tWe pMielnfla ^rmaiVnt a. d radical cure. The disease* ofljthe URETHRA, as frequently connected with, or ar^urfe frWn the above complaint, have not escaped their attenti by an Infallible and improved plan, they are t-iia le t) remove obstinate GLEETS and STRIC- TURES, whether recent, or of long deration, without re- sorting to the painful and dangerous use of the caustic bou- gie. Many instances can be adduced of very inveterate cases, of several years continuance, having yielded to their method in a few days, after the cure had been attempted by other practitioners without effect; and such has been the agreeable result of a. practice of fourteen years, that the vi4de of treatment has not, in one single instance, ever proved abortive; during which period many thousand persons, of both sexes, have experienced the enjoyment of having been perfectly cured, after severe and injurious methods had been persevered in to no purpose. Messrs. Gos, and Co. exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be, by a mistaken few, marked with the obloquy so justly at- tached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to them- selves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certificates of which, from different Hospitals, and testimonials from the most eminent Physicians, they have to convince any enqui- rer); that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice of the general Practitioner; and they presume that their pretensions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confidence with which they nave, by the Public, been so liberally honoured. To be consulted at their house daily (personally, or by letter) by Patients of either Sex, with secrecy, delicacy, and attention; Patients in the Country are requested to state the parti- culars of their case, age, and manner of living, enclosing a Bank Note for Advice and Medicines; and the same willbe forwarded to any part of the lvingdoiii.

UJlsDOS. THURSDAY, JAN. 24. SOME German Papers to the 9th instant have been received. An article from Constantinople states, that the negotiation between Russia and Turkey had been broken off, in consequence of the, demands of the former being considered unreason- able but that overtures had aflerwards been made by Russia, and that the negotiation was renewed. This is corroborated by the Petersburgh Court Gazette of the 15th ult. A private letter from Cadiz, dated Dec. 21, says, —" The French annoy us most terribly; our com- munication with the Isla by sea is sadly cut up;, our boats are now obliged to sail with convoy in the dead of night if by day, they would be every one of them sunk. The passage outside St. Sebas- tian's Tower cannot be attempted by any but decked boats at this season; and they must take so great an offing that they would be exposed to capture, by the swarm of privateers from Rota and St. l,ucar, which in spite of us, and in our very teeth, pick up the coasters with supplies every day. Our communication by land is also very difficult the entire Isthmus is so cut up, with intersections, redoubts, &c. (to guard against a landing, which is at length seriously looked for from week to week), that it is a work of time Jo bring any thing down besides, that the whole chain of batteries along the Cano de Trocadera and Fort St. Luis, bear on the road so far as the Cortadura; and why the ene- my don't make use of them every day, instead of once a week or ten days, can only be accounted for by the jrreat want of powder which the French experience'! they may also wish not to shew their full strength till the last moment. Only think of their throwing six or seven shells a day into Cadiz, for the last eight days, up as far as the Ball-court, which is so near the Molina Store. The species of shell thrown was a common 9-inch granade, filled with lead in some few instances the 13-inch shell was thrown and reached but they were in general of the species I have described, and were discharged from a 36-pounder at an immense elevation. Al- though Cadiz id perhaps less susceptible. of injury by bombardment than any town we know of, still it lias been proved that these shells have penetrated to the second floor, and in some old houses went clean through to the ground floor. You perceive things have become serious here. I wish all may end well, butl have my doubts." We understand that Lord Wellington had, in his retreat through Portugal, an opportunity of bringing Massena to action at any time, in an in- terval of nine days, during which the latter was without his heavy artillery. It is also said'ihat his Lordship had an opportunity of bringing the enemv to action, with advantage to the Allies, while the enemy remained in their position at Torres Vedras. The accounts add, that the French trcops hung ¡ out their jackets to dry, and made other demon- strations of remaining in their position, on the eve on which they broke up; and that the outposts of the Allied Army were not aware of their retreat to Santarem, until fourteen hours after it had com- menced

j- -t!f! .')411 rtiihJYi JMMr The Arethusa has arrived from Corunna, which port she left on the 2d instant. She has brought letters from Oporto to the date of the 24th tiltimo. One of the 22d informs Us, that a report was very prevalent there, that from 12 to 15,006 men were on the road to Celorico; for the purpose of form in** a junction with Massena's army. The si ne hder expresses the utmost confidence as to the. result,of the campaign. ? The American Papers contain a long f^ltfer f-cra Mr. Pinckney to Mr. Smith, dated in March last, inclosing a letter to Marquis Wellesley. These documents relate chiefly to the recal of Mr. Jack* son, and contain nothing new. Letters were yesterday received from Bourdeaux, to the 8th instant. They contain no news from the Western side of the Pyrenees, and we are in- duced to believe that someaddilional restriction has been imposed on the transmission of intelli- gence of a political tendency j but we are satisfied, of the truth of one important feet, from some ge- neral observations, that French troops are continu- ally on progress from Gascony to Spain. Doubts have been entertained as to the inten tions of the Court of St. Petersburgh, with regard to the seizure of the numerous cargoes in the Rus- sian ports, and favourable expectations have been formed in consequence of the procrastination of the sales of such of them as were sequestrated in the harbour of Riga. By letters from St. Peters- burgh, of the date of the 2;)th of last month, we suspect that these favourahle hopes will be disap- pointed, as the sales in that city of confiscated pro- perty actually commenced on the 19th uit.. The Governor had an estimation made of the portion that was to devolve to the Imperial Treasury, and the sum was paid according to that valuation, the purchasers taking upon themselves the risk of the bale. The brig Douro, Tucker, master, in twenty- seven days from St. John's, hound to Poole, was towed itiro Penzance, in a sinking state on Sunday night last, by the Fame pilot-boat, which fell in with her about six leagues from that port; her sails were blown off her yards, and a heavy Sea had swept her boat, cabouse, and every thing moveable off the deck two of her crew had died on the pas-' sage, and the remainder were in a more deplorable- state, frostbitten, and incapable of doing their duty. Captain Lendergreen, of the army, with his lady and family, came pa-sengers in the Douro.

SATURDAY, JAN. 26. Part of the expedition for the reinforcement of Lord Wellington, has sailed from Plyn;out:i.—' Another part has embarked at Portsmouth • aid the ships being men of war, will sail successively as soon as ready.—They are to be aU off before the 30th.—Sir J. Yorke expects to sail on Monday. An opinion generally prevailed in our ar nv in Portugal, that thaGth instant would be all In]- portant day—but the event which was to give it that character was not specified, whether a battle, an armistice, or a retreat! We have received Paris Papers to the 23d inst. The periodical Report of the military operations in Spain contains the pan iculal's of some marked suc- cesses lately obtained by the French in var ious pro- vinces of that kingdom. Tortosa, we regret to state, has fallen, -lifter a siege of 13 days' open trenches. It surrendered on the first day of the year, when a garrison of nine thousand five hun- dred men laid down their arms, and became pri- soners of war.—The enemy, sensible of the value of this acquisition, lost no time in endeavouring to turn it to account Marshal Macdonald immedi- T O¡"L ately marched to invest Tarragona, which, weV°his much fear, will shortly, if it has not already taken place, tollow the fate of Tortosa. This Report also contains the account of theè,, :¡ failure of an expedition against Palamos, a small I port to the eastward of Barcelona. It consisted, according to the Moniteur, of 1100 English, who landed from two ships of the line, a frigate, and two other vessels, of whom 600 were-killed, and 150 taken prisoners and marched for France. A Captain James, of our navy, and several Midship- men, are said to be among the number of the lat- ter. This disaster is stated to have occurred on tI, 13th of December. We are not aware of any mili- tary force to this extent having been employed y. Us on that part of the Spanish coast. It wiH pro- bably turn out that the troops which are here stated to be British, were composed of the levies which Colonel Doyle had been tor some time em- ployed in organizing in Catalonia, the greater part of which are known to have been deserters fi-out the enemy. c The Report concludes in a very extraordinary manner. After some invective against the English, and asserting that the spirit of insurrection is near y extinct, it says, H the inhabitants loudly call for being united to the Empire."—Is it meant to be understood from this that it ia intended to annex Spain. to the French Empire ?
