FRIDAY, MAY 26. The account of Mr. O'Conriell's defeat has been re- ceived with great dissatisfaction by the Catholics. It lias reduced Mr. Peel's popularity to a discount in Ire- land. He had already incurred the utmost odium of the Brunswick party, and now he has the misfortune of having the dislike of the whole nation directed against him. LOKD ELDON.—A Committee of Noblemen and Gen- tlemen has been formed in London for the purpose of promoting a subscription to manifest, by a suitable and lasting testimonial, the deep and gratefui sense they entertain of the great and eminent services of John, Earl of Eldon, throughout his long & laborious .rl .9 public life, during which his exertions have been ably and uniformly directed to the preservation and mainte- nance of the Protestant Constitution of this country." No individual is allowed to give more than £20, and the subscriptions already excee(I Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells and the Bishop of Salisbury ^-e given £ 20 each towards the subscription. We have no mails to-day, but the Paris papers supply s with sorne-intel igence from the theatre of war. Ac. counts from the frontiers of Moldavia, dated the 10th lnstant, state that the Turks, after a succession of hard- contested engagements, had succeeded in expelling the ussians from Balczyk, between Kavarna and Varna. ici accounts of an eariier date from Bucharest men- tion that they had taken, by a coup de main, Kavarna and Balczyk, and put the Russian garrisons in both places to the sword. Both accounts speak of the in amiable forces the Turks had collected in that uar. < i. In the meantime, an article from Semlin, of the i instant, ascribes to the Russians not only the in- tennonof prosecuting the contest, but of carrying it Oil wllh redoubled energy. It is further stated to be their dPtpnnination to transfer the seat of war to the veiy gates of Constantinople, by means of a descent in Natolia. It is added that the Porte was making the greatest efforts to disconcert this plan, and, amongst the rest, was straining every nerve to equip dulcet ca- pable of coping with that of the enemy in the Black Sea. We are likewise told that the Russian fleet in the Archipelago is to co-operate in the execution of this project, hy making its way through the Darda. tielles, as well as the Bosphorus, into the Euxine; hut we are greatly mistaken if this part of the pretended plan does not exceed the measure of the Russian skill and enterprise. The accounts from Tert-eit-a are to the 7th instant. I hey state that great preparations were making for defence—that the island is impregnable if well defend- ed, and that the refugees are devoted; but as the na- tives have once risen in favour of Don Miguel, there can, we tear, be little reliance placed on them. It is, however, mentioned that the report of the warlike utti- (See 5th Column.)

LETTER VI. ON THE MEDICAL RELIEF OF THE SICK POOR. To the Editor of the Carmarthen Journal. SiB, —— In the former letters it was endeavoured to describe the condition of the SICK POOR under— 1. The farming or contract system. 2. The unprovided system, and 3. The n protected,—being the most intolerable of all their conditions,-neglected by the parish; by their neigh- bouis, by benevolent individuals, and, from being distant from home, forgotten by tlipir friends, screened from the eye of the public, by their being in a strange land and with these (perhaps the most Important,) the information frdm the Warwick committee was given; which it is hoped wijl bring the intelligent to work and establish an institution in their behalf,—and the charitable to help and support it to bring about a better state of things, a more benevolent feeling towards the injured objects the letters advocated, and to rescue them from the evils of snch a system, or rather systenis;-all of which treat the hurt poor in the worst and most insufferable manner, and increase the number of disabled poor; consequently the call in the form of poor rates on every person, the fearf. 1 increase of which from year to year has called forth the exertion of Government to devise a piau, to stop it, but no effectual means has as yet been invented to impede this tide of piyerty; and any plan that professes to diminish even a fraction, or has the least likelihood to stop its swelling career, has a claim to public attention for it is believed that sickness has not been considered as one of the main causes of the increase of naupery. Some perhaps will consider that terms have been multi- plied sufficiently on the subject; to which I would res- pectfully say, that they have on tite contrary not been strong enough, and that some of my medical brethren have declared that it was dealing too smoothly and superficially with the subject. If then their state is truly piteous, it is expected tl it a plan or plans should be given, which have for, their object the relief or removal of this miserable, abject, and painful state of mail. The first proposal that I have been able to meet with is that of Dr. Worthington, of Monmouth, a quarter of a century ago, to multiply the number of hospitals or infirm- aties. The second in point of publication, that of Mr. Yeat- man, of Frome. The third plan, that of Mr. Smith, of Southam and the fourthj that of Mr. Hulbert, of Melksham. As the second and third plans are more comprehensive, and those most in practice, and hive received trials, that have proved most successful, even beyond the expecta- tions of the inventors, I shall beg the reader's attention, first, to Mr. Yeatman's remarks. "It might be supposed that the best method of insur- ing competent medical aid to parochial poor, would consist in permitting overseers to employ surgeons to attend paupers as private patients; the expences incurred being defrayed by their respective parishes. "This sweeping privilege, however, would in the in- stance of populous parishes, prove so burthensome, that none, I imagine, would seriously recommend its general adoption, besides which, tbe total ahoHtfen of the contract system would lead to the employment of practitioners in extreme cases only. In order to insure adequate medical aid, practitioners must receive adequate pay and this may be managed so as to lesson the expenditure of parishes, instead of aug- menting them, as at first sight might appear. With this view, it will be found right to abolish the contract system, to a certain extent only and beyond this to settle it upon a fair and reasonable basis, blending with it certain regula- tions, the necessity and utility of which will be explained." The following is the I Improved plan of affording medi- cal Relief to the Poor,' as given by Mr. Yeatrnan. "1, Parliament should be respectfully called upon to abolish the farming or contract system in those parishes, the amount of whose paupers receiving pay for the space of one year, shall be under the number of fifty. "The amount of contracts for the medical care of so limited a number would not enable the surgeon to dis- charge his duties well and faithfully. "2. The contract system should .be modified, as it res- pects all parishes, havingmore than fifty paupers, by fixing a certain price per pauper, per annum as in the instance of country clubs, and detachments of soldiers, to country practioners, and East India troops to East India ship sur- geons, viz. with resident surgeons at not less than 3s. per pauper, per annum; and with non-resident surgeons, at 5s. per pauper, per annum, to the amount of any number, say between fifty and one thousand; while above that number a contract be allowed at 2s., with half price for children under fourteen years in all instances. Resident parish surgeons have few journeys to take in the discharge of their duties, and can blend these duties with theirprivate practice, oftener and more advantage- ously than non-resident surgeons, who cannot visit their patients on foot, but on horseback. In pal ishes where paupers are very riunierous, a pro- portionably equal stimulus to surgeons' exertions would seem consistent with some diminution in the terms of contracts, because a surgeon can visit twenty patients in a populous a d crowded parish, in less time, and with less iabour, than he can visitten in a parish in which the popu- lation is considerably less, but more scattered. And it is the time, labour, and skill of the practitioner for which he is chiefly to be paid. A capital which might have made him a respectable merchant, manufacturer, or tradesman, has been expended in the acquisition of knowledge for the benefit of himself and the community. If lie. is to be dealt with as with a tradesman, it is his time, labour, and skill, which are chiefly to be purchased in the market, although it should not be forgotten that medical and surgical reme- dies, horses and turnpike-gates, &c. entail upon him far heavier expences, when actively and conscientiously en- yaged in attending parish poor, than would otherwise be incurred, and which in the aggregate amount to much more than persons generally suppose. 3. Overseers should be obliged to keep a correct list of paupers receiving pay during each year, with columns for their names, residence, and number of th ir children, and to hand over the same to parish surgeons on the 25th of March, which terminates the period of each contract, in order that the arnouat of salary may be satisfactorily as- certained. "'4. Paymasters should he empowered to withhold o e fourth of the salary in the event of the surgeon having for the most part ir glected his duty; and refuse to appoint such surgeon on any future occasion. This parish (Frome,) pays a salary of 120 guineas (to each surgeon in rotation, for the medical care of the poor) reserving a power to withhold 30 guineas and this power has been exercised in a recent instance, the vestry passing a vote of censure tor neglect of duty on one practitioner, and on the year following a vote of thanks to another for his attention to the sick; and it is truly plea-ing to find the sick poor so much better at-snded to than formerly, when the salary was lower, and no bonus offered for good attendance. ".5. Practitioners should be prevented from making a monopoly of parish surgeoncies. Parishes should not be suffer a to appoint them otherwise than in rotation, where there are two or more resident surgeons; and in respect to parishes where there are no resident practition- ers, the care of the sick should be offered to the neigh- bouring surgeons likewise in rotation, if living within three Irfiles, and after two years residence and practice. It is very common for an individual practitioner,-par- ticularly if he be influential in his parish, to be re-elected every year, as a matter of course, performing langvidlj the parish duties, to the exclusion ofhismore active bretlnen, and this tends greatly to the neglect of the sick, and to the injury of the parish funds. It excludes the sick from the great ftdvantages arising from an honourable competition among medical men in the discharge of their duties. It often happens also, that one will be re-elected yearly, during the whole course of his life, to a dozen pa- rishes or more, although it is obvious that no man can discharge his duties well and faithfully to more than one large parish, or three or four small ones at a time. "G. Those parishes to w hich casual poor belong, should be compelled to reimburse those in which they should happen to be taken ill, price per head, per annum, as above regulated, except in cases of severe accident, in which an order for removal is suspended. "7. Surgeons of parishes should be required to attend those only who are actually receivingor soliciting parochial relief, when requested to do so by the parish officers. "This distinction will be found very necessary, or the surgeon will be often expected to attend all the parish poor, whether deriving parochial relief or not, and thes frequently double the number whom he attends of those deriving parochial aid; in this way thousands become chargeable to parishes, who would otherwise rub through their difficulties without having recourse to such means of support; it is done by begging certificates of parish sur- geons of inability to work through sickness, thus making their surgeries the high road to parish funds." The observation that has been niade on the regulations will be handed to you in the next. Remaining, Sir, yours, &c. J. P. WATKINS. Carmarthen, May 29, 1829.

A Real Blessing to Mothers. rHERE is not, perhaps, in the whole Materai M. Medica any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain or asuflering patient as the AMKRLCAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watrli the writhing tor- tures inlo which a lovely infant is often convulsed during the period of dentition, without feeling a sympathy for its sufferings? And who would hesitate to procure a remedy. when a remedy can he found ? which is obvious, by the efl'ectual relief afforded in SO marts distressing cases which are daily coining to the notice of Mrs. JOHNSON. There- fore, Motheis ought never to he without the American Soothing Syrup in the Nursery for if a child awakes in tlw night wilh pain, bv only nibbing the gntns with a rew drops of( Ile Syrup, it will immediately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevei- and convulsions: for should it come in competition with ;itjn- other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.

SATURDAY, MAY 30. Owing to the time necessary for registering the freeholds under the new Act, it is said that tiie Clare election cannot, at soonest, take pi ce before the 15ih of July. iUr.

We observe that i>i r. Aldcrson is another candidate to represent the University of Cambridge. The subscription for erecting in 'Dublin a sta'ue of the Duke of Wellington, amounts to upwards of 1,7'00/. The nallle of Earl Fitzwilliam appears at the head of the list as a subscriber of lOOt. It is confidently rumoured that Sir Edward C'odring- ton has recentiy refused a pension of X600 per annum tendered to him by the Duke of Wellinfj'ton. It is stated tiie there has never been any intention of marrying the Duke de Chartres to the young Queen of Portugal, but that a match is in contemplation between her and a younger son of the Duke of Oilvaiis.-Court Journal. t, On Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Lieut. Gen. Sir T. S. Beck- ••.viti», K.C.B. was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Company's forces at iSomhav. His Majes-v gave a bait on Thursday, to the juve- nile branches of the nobiiity and gentry, which was rendered very interesting- by the introduction of tiie young Queen of Portugal, ami the Princess Victoria, both about the same age. The wtloie suite of state apartments were thrown open oh the occasion, and were well ventilated during tiie evening, by means of Italian blinds, which were ornamented with the stars of the Orders of which his Majestj is Sovereign. A number of the choicest plants and shrubs were Ar- ranged in different parrs of the rooms. In the middle of one of the sides of the hail room a temporary or- chestra was fitted up for the quadrille band, which consisted of between twenty and thirty performers; the fr.irit of the orchestra was hung ith crimson festoons. The Queen of Portugal came in stale, with her suite in two carriages; ahofit nine o'clock. Her Majesty wore, the insignia of the principal Portuguese Order, The young Queen had for her partner the son of Prince and Princess Esterhazv. Another gross insult has been offered to the British flag by toe Russian blockading squadron at the Dar- danelles. It is more atrocious than the case of the Charlotte Wylie. The Columbine, bouud from Liver- pool to Constantinople, was boarded by the blockading squadrons and the officer in command, not satisfied with the papers of tiie ship, which were regular, and in compliance with the dictum of this new naval des- potism, proceeded to break up the chests and boxes of goods, and to cut the bales of manufactured articles, 1 d straying the sale of the cargo, and defeating the objects of the voyage. There is a further charge against the officer and his crew; they have seized many articles under the plea of their being provisions, and in fact plundered the ship. The present case is so serious that the whole affair has been transmitted from Constantinople to the English Admiral, with a request that the goods may be restored, or that the Russian Admiral should immediately give an order upon his Government for the amount of goods stolen from the English merchant vessel. Another English hip is missing, supposed to have been seized by the blockading squadron. Letters from the frontiers of Wallachia, of the 6th nsiant, state that a considerable number of wounded Russians had arrived at the hospital at Bucharest, and 'hat there were reports current of various affairs with 'he Turks, in which the litttet- had the ad vantage. The Turks are said to have a formidable force near Widdin, and to be in a fit state to oppose the progress of the Russians in that quarter. A general order had been issued to ail the officers of the Russian army in Little 10 provide themselves with knapsacks, in order to he ,bj to carry three days' provisions. There are said stili to he traces of the plague at Bucharest, and in part of the Russian army. JASSY, LUAY 8.11 travellers who arrive from the theatre of war agree in stating that very sanguinary actions have taken place at Silistria and the environs of S bourn I a, where the Turks have displayed unparal- leled valour, and fought with a desperation bordering on frenzy. Their enthusiasm, say these travellers, is excited to the highest^degree, and' since they have been disciplined in the European manner, their corps of infantry have, on several occasions, performed evolu- tions which would do honour to the tactics of an ex- perienced army, and which proves that their operations are directed by able chiefs. In the rn-,dst of these in- novations, which are attended with so much success, the ancient usages which may encourage the soldier are not neglected. Dervises appear at the head of the troops, and recite prayers and hymns, which the Turk- is:s soldiers repeat, and animate each other, and when their fanaticism is thus excited, they rush to thecombat like madmen, uttering dreadful cries. The number of Turkish troops increase daily, and is at least equal to that of the Russians. The letters from the frontiers of Moldavia of the 10th of May confirm the taking of Baldzyk, a little fortress between Varna and Kavarna, by the Turks, and do not contradict that of Sizebolis by the troops of Husseia Pactia.

(Continuation of Post.) fade of Tereeira had occasioned the first expedition from Lisbon to stop for reinforcements at St. Michael's. TÎie fureeuCthis expedition is not mentioned. CONSTANTINOPLE, AP;UL25.—The political horizon is clearing up and hopes of peace are conceived. It is positively afhrmed that a Russian flag of truce HIS come to the camp of Schonmla, and harllong confe- rences with the (trand Vizier, it is not doubted that he was the hearer of proposals of peace, and it is added ttiat they are founded on the basis of the t, eatv of AUermann, the only conditions which Russia now requires. If such proposals have really been made, the Porte cannot refuse to accede to them, as they would place things in the same state as before the war, and put an end to the unjust pretensions which were the pretext of it. This sudden moderation of Russia can only he ascribed to the resolution of the otlter powers to put an end to the war. The threat of the English Ambassador to leave St. Petershurgh must have led the Russian Cabinet to make serious reflect tions at a moment when the departure of Lord Heytcs- bury would be immediately followed by that of tiie ambassadors. The, Russian Cabinet has therefore thought fit to declare to the English ministiy through M. de Matuzevicz that the Emperor was far from en- tertaining any ambitious views, and that he would consent to make peace, requit ing only the execution of the treaty of Ackerniainj. It is also said that the Porte has formally accepted the basis of the treaty of the of Jiily, 127, and the protoculof the 16th of November, 1828, and that the Ambassadors of the two Powers will immediately re- turn to Constantinople. M, Jaubert had a long coii- ference with the Reis ErFendi on the 2d, probably oil 'f'lie fil-s this subject. The first Dragoman of the Austrian Ambassador, has also made communications to the Porte, said to he highly important. There is no doubt that rite Porte, which has repelled with energy all the attacks made upon it, yvill readily listen to a negotiation founded on justice, and will not oppose any difficulty to a treaty which would secure its European possessions, The Porte has resolved to send horne all the Russian prisoners, both officers and privates. It is not known whether this is in consequence of an arrangement with the Russian officers who went to the camp at Sliumiaj or whether the Porte has decided upon it of its own accord. The officers will return by land, and the privates by sea to Tama. This resolution enhances the hopes of peace.
