THE JOURNAL.

CCjHWe have received the details of the hews by the Duchess d"Orleans, but it is not po late as that brought by the Sarah Sands published at the same time, nor late as that we published yesterday brought by the Acadia. We give below a few items. The advices from Faris are to the 26th ult. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Our advices from Paris are of the 16th ult. "We take the following from Galiguani of the 23th. The Provisional Government appears greatly embarrassed to kuow what system it tan r.dopt to check the list of votes at the elections. This is a matter of great difficulty, for as every elector, will have to inscribe as many names as there are to be deputies, there will be some millions of uames inscribed. Thus as there are about 300,000 electors ia the department of the Seine, and as there are 3-1 deputies to be returned, there will have to be, supposing all the. electors to vote; 300,000 times 34 names written, or in all 40,200,000. The Provisional Government, however, calculates that only from 450,000 to 200,000 citizens at most wil'l take part ia the elections, and that no candidate can be elected without having about 35,000 or 40,000 votes. The Government has charged a number of the Academic des Sciences to draw up a plan for checking the votes. The Prefect of Police, ,M. Caussidere, has published an appeal to the working classes to refrain from taking part jn the prpmenades and demonstrations which are made at night. He ears, that they are calculated to cause disquiet and to enable the enemies of the republic to turn them to their own advantage. The provisional government received yesterday a deputation of the workmen belonging to the Orleans Railway, who came to present to the republic a sum of 2,234f.75c, which they had collected amongst themselves. A deputation of foreigners resideut in France have presented a petition to the provisional government, signed by 2000 persons of this description, praying that all foreigners who hare been two years resident in this country, may, on a simple declaration of their wish for naturalization, be entitled to all the rights of French citizens. A considerable number of Germans and Belgians left Paris the day before yesterday by the Northern railroad to return to their native country, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, two days ago, commenced his service asa National Guard, and was placed as a sentinel at the Post de JJrapeau. He belongs "to the fourth company of the first battalion, of the first legion. About 400 of the Poles living at Paris, assembled yesterday to form the first column for returning to their own country. .They have w ritten to their fellow countrymen in the provinces to join them either at Paris orStrasburg, They have made an appeal to the republic of France to supply them with arms. ENGLAND. The Queen arid the Infant Princess were as well as could be expected. AUSTRIA. No later dates from Austria than the ISth of March from Vienna. Private tetters state the probability that notwithstanding his concessions the Emperor Ferdinand would he compelled to leave his throne when the people bhould learn of the turn affairs nad taken at Berlin, PRUSSIA. The sitting of the deputies of the city of Breelau, on the 17th, was one of extreme imporlancer The following resolutions were passed with stormy acclamations; "The immediate arming of the Burghers. "2. A petition to His Majesty to relinquish every alliance with Russia that has reference to coercing the Southern Slates of Germany. "3. To dismiss the present Cabinet and re place it by men who possess the public con fluence. The distutbances which took place on the 16th, during which a division of the Cuirassers fell upon the unoffending multitude, have had tue worst consequences. . A the general in command refused to supply the burghers with arms the district associations resolved that every man should arm himself as best he could, anu repair at six in the evening to an appointed rendezvous, In the brief space of one hour, every eun shop was cleared of its arms at high prices; the Bludents had their rapiers sharpened by the Kruie grinders in the streets, and every body put on the black, red, and gold cockade and ribands. The liberation of the brothers Hoffman, who were imprisoned for high treason, was forcibly effected. After this the burghers took possessions of all the principal posts of the city and the night passed off with tolerable quiet and order. This day threatens to be very stormy, and the censorship of the local newspapers will be resolutely resisted. The Prince of Prussia has, it is said, left Berlin for England, The civic authorities have announced by - proclamation that the solemn interment of their brethren who lei I m the late contest, and the raaintainance of the families of thedeceased, will be undertaken at the expense of the city of Berlin. Count Von Armin has been confirmed in'.the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and still is Presi- . dent of the Ministry protein. ' KEPUEL1C PROCLAIMED IN PRUSSIA. A telegraphic despatch, dated Metz, March 24th, states that a Republic has been proclaimed at Berlin. The King had been dethroned; and his Majesty and ministers arrested. Royalty humiliated, exhausted, after bloody collisions, which, with the least foresight or wisdom might so easily have been prevented, must now disappear from Prussian ground. The people are not satisfied with simply de throning the monarchy, but hold . him and his ministers prisoners. The Temple after the lQth of A-ugust has come again. We hope that the similarity of fate between Louis XVI and Frederick William will go no further. Liberty is magnanimous and does not strike a powerless enemy. The results of the proclamation of a republic at Berlin are immense, Berlin is the heart of Germany as Pais is of France and henceforth the Germanic Union becomes a reality. RUSSIA. The following is the preamble to the Ukase of the Czar 6f Russia, ordering an army of 1 50.000 men into the field: Events have occurred in the west of Europe which betray the bad intention of destroying all legal authority. The treaty and alliances which unite Russia and the United States of Germany, imposes upon us the sacred duty to take timely measures by placing a par t of our army in the field, so, that if events require it, we may interpose a soljd barrier to the destruc tive flood of anarchy. ' - Branch Mist at New York. A bill is before the Senate of the United States providing for the establishment of a branch mint in the city of New York. The first section appropriates 8225,000 for the purchase of the site, the erection of a suitable building, and completing the neefcsary combinations of machinery. Georgia.- The La Grange Reporter of the J3t.ll says : "The fruit and grain crops promise. f;reat abundance, and cotton bids equally fairndeed, the spring u forward and favorable everywhere; and if we have no more frosts and caq enjoy a tolerable season, the fruit, grain and cotton, that will be made this year, will be incalculable." ... ...

LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA!

INTERESTING AND EXCITING TELL1GENCE. IXWar declared against Austria by Lombardy - The Austrians defeated Satoy a Republic Liberal Governments established in Baden, Worlemberg, and Saxony Movements in Russia and Prussia Trouble in Spain France quiet Threatened disturbancesin Ireland- Great Chartist demonstration prohibited Serious decline in Breadstuff Declinein Cotton, J-c, ijc, (J-c. Boston, April 24. The royal mail steamer Acadia arrived at port to-day having sailed from Liverpool on the Sth inst. The general revolutionary commotion in Europe is spreading with rapid increase. Upwards of 30,000 troops have crossed from Piedmont into Sardinia, Lombardy had declared war against Austria, marched her troops direct to Milan. The Austrians were defeated everywhere. All the Italian Dutchies had opeuly engaged in insurrections. Charles Albert, it is expected, will soon ha ve 24,000 troops at his command, sufficient to liberate Lombardy, and threaten Austria's existence, even by marching troops to the city of Vienna. Savoy has declared in favor of a republic, and liberal governments have been established in the provinces of Baden, Wortemberg and Saxony. The triumphs of the people in Hanover have been complete. The Ring of Prussia has promised extensive constitutional reforms, but has exasperated the Emperor of Russia by encouraging the inde pendence of Poland. Emperor Nicholas has ordered every man in Russia and Poland between the ages of 18 and 35 to remove to the interior of Russia for the purpose of concentrating a vast army, in order to crush the republican efforts in Belgium. Holland remains quiet. ; Tuscany has refused to acknowledge the French Republic. An emeute had occurred at Madrid, in which many people and soldiers were killed. Queen Christina had fled. The parliament constituted by the French government, had ordered the army to assemble on the frontier, to watch the movements in Italy. On the 3d inst., Lamartine received the ad dress of Smith O'Bryanand the members of the Repeal Association. He made a speech full of dignity and sympathy, but declared that the policy of France 'was non-intervention. Paris remains quiet. AtLyons tranquility had been restored. Lord John Russell has reported the declara tions that his government would throw its entire weight and influence to maintain order. Affairs in Ireland wear a more menacing aspect. Additional troops had been ordered from England, and were arriving in Ireland. The repealers in the city were equally energet ic, and are supported by the provinces which are now electing delegates to the council to be held at Liverpool, to advise the government to keep within the limits prescribed by the Convention Act. Repealers now opeuly avow Repeal. That uuion is not sufficient to satisfy the grievan ces that a republic is the only remedy. The great Chartist demonstration to come off - on the 10th inst., has been forbidden by the English government. All arrangements, howev er, are going on. Carriages are preparing for petitioners. Banners and insignia are all iu a state of forwardness. The proclamation is sued forbidding any one from attending the meeting only increased the excitement and call ed forth remonstrances. The Chartists have determinad by unanimous resolution to hold the demonstration meeting at the risk of their lives despite the government threats. They then issued a contra proclamation to hold a large meeting, to carry, no arms in the procession. O'Connor advised the withdrawal of the deposits in the Savings Bank, amounting to 25,090,000 pounds sterling, as that would embarrass the government more than an armed at tack. The English government seems determined to bring matters to an issue. Large bodies of cavalry, infantry and artillery had been drafted into the metropolis. How matters will end it is not possible to conjecture. Commercial Intelligence Ev the Acadia. The following are the latest quotations of the English markets, brought by the Acadia: Liverpool, April S.

Pork, prime mess continue active a( full rates, other qualities are dull Tallow is active with improving tendency; the market, however, is steady, and sales are greatly restricted on account of the continental difficulties. The Iron Market is dull and depessed. The dernani has diminished, both for export and home consumption, Glasgow pigs, mixed numbers, are quoted at 2, and bar at 5 10s per ton, deliverable. In Wales there is no disposition to operate, but stocks are light, and a restoration of coufidencc in monetary affairs would improve prices. 03" The citizens of St. Louis on Tuesday last gave an enthusiastic reception to General Shields. Thousands greeted him upon the wharf.

trom the N O. Delta April 22. Later from Mexico.

FURTHER PROCEEDINGS OFTHE COURT OF INQUIRY, &c., &c. The British West Indian Mail Steamer Aeon; arrived on the North Chandeleur Island, on Thursday i veiling, the 20th inst., from Vera Cruz, having left that place on the l'Uh inst. By this arrival we have dates from the city of Mexico to the 11th, with later nrot:f;fulin"i of tlie Court oflnuuirv. a portion of ' r which we can only make room for in our columns this morning. Below we give a summary of the Mexican news, from the ample files of Mexican pa pers and correspondence now before us. As to the ratification of the Treaty, the news by this arrival is not very promising. At last accounts from Queretaro, a quorum had not been formed in Congress. The " onitor, of the 11th, contains a long article condemning the conduct of the members of Congress in delaying the session. Sixteen members were still wanted in the Chamber, and two in the Senate, to constitute a quorum. A correspondent at Queretaro, of the Monitor, thinks the necessary number will soon be in attendance, and that when Congress once gets together, Herrera will be chosen President, since a majority of the legislatures have have expressed themselves in bis favor. The news of the ratification of the Treaty, had been received in Queretaro, and some persons entertained the belief that its modifications would be accepted. On the other hand, we have before us an extract of a letter dated "Mexico, 13th April," addressed by an English merchant, long resident in the city of Mexico, to his friend an officer of the Avon, which says: 'There is a dearth of news of any kj:ui. Commissioner Clifford arrived here two days ago. Amongst the Americans the impression is that a treaty wil' not be made; some of the Deputies, most inclined for peace, swear they will have nothing to do with it, unless the Americans leave force sufficient to support a Government, and I think the chances are that they will not come together in the stipulated time." On the same subject, we make the following extract from an article in the Free American of the 15th inst.t "We had occasion yesterday to converse with a respectable gentleman wlio had just arrived from the city of Mexico. He is a Mexican and is in favor o peace, but says that the members of Congress will not vote for the treaty as it now stands; that he has heard many of them express their opinions on the subject, and that they all 6eemJto pgree that they have not the power to cede any portion of the territory belonging to the republic. Doing this, they think, would be violating the Fsderal Constitution of Mexico.. They would be willing to pay the expenses of the war. "They are also willing to abandon their pretensions to the ownership of Texas provided the demarcation of the boundary line be left to commissioners to ba appointed by each government. "In our opinion, if this statement be true, and we believe it is: it shows plainly that the Mexican have again made an abuse of the good faith of the American government." We learu from the Monitor that a battle was fought at Santa Cruz de Rosales, twenty-two leagues from Chihuahua, on the 16th March, in which, as usual, our troops were victorious. The Monitor says "the firing commenced at 9 o'clock in the morning, and continued until dark at bight, when the Americans stormed the place, took eight pieces of heavy artillery six small pieces of ordnance, ami more than one thou sand muskets. The. number of killed on either side is not yet known; but the loss of life on both sides was.very great. Don Angel Trias, Governor and Commander, and the officers under his command, were taken prisoners at the moment the action ceased." Commissioner Trist and Gen. Cadwallader left the city of Mexico on the 8th inst. We do not hear of their arrival at Vera Cruz. Commissioner Clifford had arrrved in the city of Mexico. It was supposed that the Court of Inquiry would adjourn about the 20th. A cunducta from Guanajuato had arrived at Mexico, escorted by forty Mexican Dragoons. The amount brought by the conducta. is stated to be 400,000. Another conducta, arrived from Puebla, Mineral del Monte and El Chico brought C8 bars of silver. The funeral obsequies of the late Gen. Valencia were celebrated on the 4th inst. at the Convent of San Francisctk The House of Muriel and Brothers in the city of Mexico had been entered in the night by a gang of robbers, who murdered a clerk named Zorilla. Seven of the twelve robbers have been arrested, and among them, we regret to find officers of the American army The American Star gives the names of the persons arrested for being implicated in this affair as follows: Lt. Datten, 2d Pennsylvania reg't.; Jesse Armstrong, discharged teamster; John B. HoU'tster, American citizen; John Larerty, Canadian Frenchman; B. F, Wraps, Orderly Serg't,, 7th Inf.; John Wall, Private, ECo., 7th Inf. The Monitor of the 7th, contains a letter from San Luis stating that the Indians to the number of 25000, are now in a state of revolution, and that their number is still increasing. Several Haciendas, or plantations have been robbed of all the cattle and horsesSome of the planters have been murdered. The let ter also states that the capital, San Luis, is the only part of the State where one can remain with security. The session of the Legislature of that State adjourned on the 31st ult., and deprived, by a decree, Don Adame, Governor, and Don Avila, Lieut. Governor, of their respective officers. Don Juliano Reyes, their present Governor, received extraordinary powers, to last until the meeting of the next Legislature. The election for a new Governor of the State will take place on the 30th of the present month. A detachment of eight hundred men, sent to San Luis de La Paez, by the Government of Guanajuato, to assist in protecting the State against the Indians, has retired to Dolores Hidalgo without firing a gun. Gen. Bustameme, to whom the people looked for assistance, has written that he would come, but they have lost all hopes of "getting succor form him. The Monitor of the 11th says, that the Stated Guanajuato followed the example of San Luis, and the Indians are in a state of revolution. The Monitor says that the revolution which was commenced by about fifty individuals has now mustered upwards of two thousand partisans. Robberies were still frequent on the roads and in the city of Mexico. ICumliers of families who have been obliged to abandon their homes on account of the insurrection in Yucatan, had arrived in Vera Cruz some of them entirely destitute. It was proposed to hold a meeting to adopt measures for their relief. , The court-martial for the trial of Lieut. John Smith 3d Battalion Louisiana Volunteers, commenced sitting on the 13th inst., at Vera Cru.. We find no report of the proceedings. The court cotnists of Lieut. Col. Fiesca (President,) Captains White, Featherston, Besancon, Forry and Wheat, and Lieuts. Curtis and Young (Judge Advocate,) The charges preferred against Lieut. Smith are, desertion; enticing of soldiers to desert; embezzlement of public property; conduct unbecoming an officer and agentleiuan. It is stated that the General Hospital is to be removed from Vera Cruz to Jalapa probably on ac. count pf the approaching sickly season. The French sitizens of Vera Cruz were to give a grand banquet on the evening of the IGth, in honor of the French Revolution. We learn from the Free American that a supper was given by some of the French citizens on the 8th iu honor of the Revolution. Several Americans were invited. The French consul was present, and like his countrymen, manifested his sympathy for the leberal principles by which the French people will be governed.' Our Vera Cruz corresponden "UIua,"says: "It is

rumored that Gen. Cushing's brigade is ordered to Jalapa." The regular mail coaches commenced running between Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico on the 15th, and will leave hereafter three times a week.

Three companies of Col. McLellan's regiment of Tennessee volunteers arrived at Vera Cruz on the i 1th. One hundred and thirteen men of the New York volunteers, under the command of Capt. Torry, arrived at Vera Cruz, on the 8th, in the barque Nancy W. Stevens, from New York. The career of the notorious Father Jarauta has at last been checked. A letter from Queretaro, dated April 2, states that the Father was arrested at HueJotlas by the Prefect, Don Cristobal Andrade. The arrest is officially announced in the Tampico Noticioso. Capt. Cannolly, of the La. Mounted Battalion, arrived at Vpra Cruz, esconting the mail from Puebla, on the 12th iust. Capt. C. met with a great many guerrilleros, but they made no oppsition to his march. He also met a Mexican train of eight wagons, the conductors of which reported that the guerrilleros had levied a contribution of 300 on their merchandise. Col. Hays'' the Ranger, arrived at Vera Cruz on the 10th, from Jalapa. The Free A merican understands that Hays' Regiment will shortly be disbanded. CO" We copied on yesterday an article from the Louisville Journal giving credit to Cassius M. Clay as one of the number who some time since voldntarily stepped foiward and paid the debts of the Hon. Henry Clay. We are glad to perceive by that paper of Monday, that this is a mistake. Cassius M. Clay had nothing to do with that arrangement. The Journal was led into the error by the t'false phraseology" of Cassius' letter. The Journal says; We have reason to believe, that, in our re marks of Saturday upon Cassius M. Clay's letter, we were led into error in regard to a single point by the writer s phraseology. He savs to the Hon. Henry Clay, " We paid your debts. This seems to mean that Cassius M. Clay was one ot trie contriDutors, Dut perhaps it admits ol the construction thai the Whigs, the Hon. Henry Clay's political friends, paid his debts. Whatever the intention of the remark may be, we are assured that Cassius M. Clay did not contribute one dollar, and, that the contribu tors, instead of being many in number, were only three, all gentlemen of vast wealth and all living in distant States. An individual, commissioned by those three gentlemen, visit ed Lexington, and, without even seeing Mr. Clay, ascertained the sum of his indebtedness in bank, paid the amount, and departed no one in Lexington knowing who be was, whence he came, or whither he went. It should be borne in mind, that the debts of of Mr. Clay, thus paid by his three affluent friends, were secuiity debts and not the result of any imprudence or mismanagement of his private affairs. He had abundant means to discharge them by the sale of a part of his property, or he could have soon discharged them by the practise of his profession, but his three gen erous mends cnose to relieve mm lrom ttie ne cessity either of selling a portion of his estate or of resuming in his old age the arduous practice of the law. The relief was great to him, though to each of them the amount contributed was a trifle. In view of the facts, the pub lic can judge what right Cassius M. Clay has to We regret having been led in to error by Cas sius M. Clay's absurd if not deliberately false phraseology, for we know that the bare sug gestion in a newspaper that Mr. Clay is under a pecuniary obligation to Cassius M. Clay must be exceedingly mortityingto the ieeli tigs ol the great statesman although he knows there is no foundation for it. Santa Ansa's Farewell Address. Santa Anna w hen on the point of embarking from Mexico, published a long farewell address to his countrymen. We give the opening and the closing DarasraDhs: Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, General of Uiviswn, and well-deserving of his (Jonntry, to his jellow-citizens: Mexicans! On the point of leaving mv be loved native country, in order to seek in a foreign land the quiet of private life, I must ad dress you for the last time, to explain to you the true causes which have constrained me to condemn myself to a voluntary ostracism. In debted to the Republic for a thousand sponta neous acts of honor, which have inscribed my name for ever in her annals, 1 am bound to give her satisfaction at the time of parting from her, in the mo.t disastrous moments in whicnever nation was seen, and when foreign hands are tearing the ensigns of our sovereignty from the immense territory which cowardice, egotism, and perfidy have placed in their power. Those who can look into futurity know that those fears which have haunted my mind will be realized, for when the limits of the neighbor ing Republic? are once extended to the heart of our dominion, we lose forever the equili brium; and through an error in political calculation the war has been terminated, and with it all hopes for our children. The man of reflection sees with dread that this unfortunate DeoDle is prescribed from the catalogue of na tions, and that the generation which saw the struggle ot its independence will assist at us funeral. I have therefore desired and sustained the waf as the onlu means of existence, More has already been granted ttian the enemy demanded, and our children can from this moment say that they have no future and no country. The lovers of humanity and of justice have raised their voice, even in the American capitol, to warn us of the immense danger we run. Fatality and the rancor of party, egotism, and treachery have prevented our listening to those echoes ot truth, and an extemporaneous treaty nas deprived us ol trie advantages wtncli we could derive by suffering a little longer the evils of the war, and by showing more 'lirm ness to meet emergencies. The state at which matters have arrived renders my person no longer of any use to my country. A peace to be forever execrated has been granted, and two-thirds ot the national territory has been sold for a dish of lentils. A shameful and absurd armistice has been sanctioned to consummate the iniquity. What course, therefore, remains, citizens, for him who only returned to his country to satisfy the public wishes and to fightin support ot the no ble cause against the foreign enemy? What is he to do who is pursued in every direction? Retire to a distant land to bewail immense misfortunes of the Republic, since political passions and paltry interests have succeeded in exalting themselves over the holy cause of the country. In the exile to which I condemn myself, the grief which will weigh on my spirits will receive some mitigatioti from the gratifying idea that I have preferred my personal ruin, the loss of wealth and of power, to bending my knee before the enemies of Mexico to obtain by en treaty a peace, which destroys the elements of her wealth and nationality. My garments pierced by the balls of the. enemy the thousands of Mexicans who fell in my presence and under my orders the blood of the invaders and their corpses which remained piled in heaps on the fields of battle, will be so many titles of glory for my country and for my children. Mexicans! One of the leaders in your independence, the most devoted to your good name one who has had the glory of offering to the republic trophies snatched from foreign invaders one who has fought against them, overcoming a thousand difficulties one who has shed his blood to sustain your rights in fine, your most faithful friend, bids you his last farewell. ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. Tehuacax, March 21, 1833. ,

A StrangeStory. The last Levvistown (111) Republican announces the death of Mr. Norman Bemis, under very distressing circumstances. He was married on Thursday of last week, to Miss Fast, living some few miles above Liverpool, on Duck creek. On the night after the wedding, they rode down to Liverpool, to visit a frieud and spend the night. Between 7 and 8 o'clock at night, Mr. Bemis left the house to visit a connexion of his, Mr. Brush, a few rods distant. In approaching Mr. Brush's house, he observed a person in female attire, carrying two guns. The person retired as Bemis approached, and although saluted twice or thrice by Bemis, no answer was returned. Bemis had partly passed the house, and wasapproaching the strange person, when he was shot dead. No persons were in Mr. Brush's house at the time, except Mrs. Brush and a little boy, and they heard someone exclaim "Bemis is shot." Going out, they found the person in female attire, holding Bemis's head in her lap, and Bemis dead or dying. The disguised person was NeamiahNorthrup, who acknowledged that he had shot Bemis, but declared that wasan accident as he did not know that the gun was loaded. A coroner's verdict was to the same effect. Northrup gave himself up, and after the examination, w as held to bail in the sum of 81,000, to answer the charge of involuntary manslaughter. It appeared on the examination, that it was intended to cherevari the ,newly married couple, and that Northrup was to participate in it; that he had left Liverpool and gone to his home a mile or two distant, after the arrival of Bemis; that he took the two guns, without seeing whether they were loadedor not, returned to Liverpool before his associates in the cherevari arrived, carelessly snapped the gun at, and killed Bemis. Northrup, it is said, knew the gun was empty when he last used it but it had been .borrowed and returned with the load in, without his knowledge.

Brig. Gen. Shields. The St. Louis Republican announces the arrival of Gen. Shields in that city on the preceeding day and his depar ture for Bellville, III,, from whence he will retotninashort time for Tampico. It is contemplated by the citizens of St. Louis to tender him a public dinner. SYMPATHY. One of the gentlest and most heavenly virtues is the spirit of sympathy of other's woes. Of this it h a been said: There is a tear more sweet and soft, Than beauty's smiling lioof love; By ongels' eyes first wept, and oft On earth by eyes like those above. It flows for virtue in distress, It soothes like hope our sufferings here; 'Twa3 given, and 'tis shed to bless Tis sympathy's celest ial tear. 'COJIMEKCIAL. New York, April 26, 12 m.

That Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla is the very best remedy for female complaints there is no disputing thousands and thousands of weak and debilitated females that were prostrated by those diseases to which females are subject were soon in the enjoyment of robust health.

Dr. Townsfnd: My wife has for the last year been very sick, and in a greatly reduced state of health being reduced by a variety of complaints such as fe males are liable to; she got so bad at length that she was entirely unable to walk, and was as helpless as a cnuu, sne commenceu using your sarsaparilla, anU she immediately began to regain her strength, her compiaims leu ner, anu alter ifiKing several Dottles she is restored. Being a singular case I have thought it might do good to publish it. She used a number ot remedies that done her no good previously. Yours, respectlufly, JOHN MULLEN, 87 Norfolk st. TO THE LADIES. GREAT FEMALE MEDICINE. Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla is a sovereign and speedy cure for incipient consumption, arid lor the general prostration of the system no matter whether the result of inherent cause or causes, produced by irregularity, illnessor accident. Nothing can be more surprising than its invigorating effects on the human frame. Persons all weakness and lassitude, from taking it at onco become robust and full of energy under its influence. It immediately counteracts the nervelessness of the female frame, which is the great cause of barrenness. It will not be expected of us, in cases of so delicate a nature, to exhibit certificates of cures performed, but we can assure the afflicted that hundreds of case have been reported tous. Dr. Townsexd: My wife being greatly distressed by weakness and general debility, and suffering continually by pain and with other difficulties, and having known cases where your medicine has eil'ected great cures; and also hearing it recommended for such cases as 1 have described, 1 obtained a bottle of your Extract ofSarsaparilla and followed the directions you gave me. In short period it removed her com plaints and restored her to health. Being grateful for the benefits she received, I take pleasure in thus acknowledgina it, and recommending it to the public. M. D. MOORK, cor. of Grand and Lydius sts. Albany, Aug. 17, 1844, TO MOTHERS AND MARRIED LADIES. This Extract of Sarsaparilla has been expressly orenared in reference to temnle. mmnlninta iV f... male who has reason to suppose she is approaching that critical period, "the turn of lite, "should neglect to take it, as it is a certain preventive for any ot the numerous and horrible diseases to which females are subject at this time of life. This period may be delayed for several years by using this medicine. Nor is it less valuable for those who are approaching womanhood, it is calculated to assist nature by quickening the blood and invigorating the system. Indeed this medecine is invaluable tor all the diseases to which women are subject. It braces the whole system, renews permanently the natural energies by removing the impurities of the Ixxfy not so far stimulating the system as to pro duce a subsequent relaxation,.which is the case of most medicines taken for female weakness and disease. DISEASE OF THE HEART, RUPTURE AND DROPSY-. New York, July, 22, 181G. Dr. Townsexd Dear Sir : My wife has been afflicted with a terrible rapture for over filteen years, the greater pait of the time. She has been troubled with shortness of breath &, great fluttering of the heart which has been very distressing, and has frequently been uuable to leave her bed. Phe rupture was very large and severe. She tried almost every remedy for such cases with but little hem-tit. When she had taken but three bottles of your excellent medicine she was entirely relieved of the disease of the heart, and the rupture has almost entirely disappeared. She has also had the dropy, ond was very much swollen. We had no idea that she could be so benefited, as she had such a complication of diseases. But it has, as strange as it may appear, relieved her ot the dropsy. I aril aware that this statement is so strange as to appear almost like fiction, but it is sober reality. Your Sarsaparilla is certainly a valuable medicine, and should lie used by every one that 8 suffering as we have been. If any disbelieve this account, they are at liberty to call at my house and have ocular demonstration. Yours, resiiectfully, WILLIAM TOWSER, 1 James bu DYSl'EPSIA. No fluid or medicine has ever .been discovered which so nearly resembles the gastric juice or saliva in decomposing food and strengthening the organs of digestion as this preparation of Sarsaparilla. Ii positively cures every case of" dyspepsia, however severe or chronic. Bank Department, Albany, Mnv 10, 1315, Dr. Tow.nsend Sir : I have been atllicted for several years with dyspepsia in its worst form, attended with sourness of stomach, loss of upctite, extreme heartburn, and a great aversion to all kinds of food, and for weeks (what 1 could cat) 1 have been unable to retain but a small portion on my stomach. I tried the usual remedies, but thev had little or no ctVert in removing the complaint. I was induced, about two nioiuns since, to try your extract ol Sarsaparilla, and 1 must say with little confidence; but after using nearly two bottles,! found my appetite restored and me uennourn entirely removed; and 1 would earnestly recommend the use of it to those who have been atnictcd as 1 have been, Yours, &c.

'Phis disease consists in a sudden deprivation of the senses, accompanied with violent Convulsive mc tion.of the whole body. It attacks by fits, and after a certain duration goes off, generally leaving the sulferer in a stupor, attended with great weakness and exhaustion ot the body.- - - - Doctor Hart would impress it upon the minds of the afflicted, that the Vegetable Extract is the only remedy ever discovered that can be relied on for diepermanent cure of this most dreadful of all diseases.. As its tendency is to insanity, madness and deathv the most Skillful Physicians of Europe, as well as those of our own country, have pronounced Epilepsy incurable. And it has been so considered by many, until this most important of all discoveries was made by Doctor S. Hart, nearly sixteen years since, during" which time it has been performing some of tha most Remarkable Cures upon record, and has acquired a reputation which time alone can efface. Physicians of undoubted skill and experience. Ministers of various denominations, as well as hundreds of our eminent citizens, all unite in recommending the use of this tiuly valuable medicine to their patients, charge, and friends, who are tb'ts afflicted, as the only remedy. VVeQ i'ote the Language used by those who have been cured by this valuable medicine. One say-3, "I have suffered beyond my power of description, but now I rejoice in being lully restored to health and happiness." Another says, "I thank God I feel that 1 am a well man. I also feel it my duty to proclaim' it to the ends of the earth, that those similarly afflicted may tind relief. Another, (who is an Eminent Lawyer, and well known in this city.) says, "My son has been afflicted for years with Epilepsy, but is now enjoying good health from the egetable Extract. Its fame," says.he, "should and ought to be sounded to the ends of the earth." Another says, "Language is entirely inadequate to express my gratitude to Dr. Hart, for having been the means, under the blessing of God, of restoring me n the enjoyment of good health, after having been afflicted with Epilepsy in its worst forms for more than twenty-three years and my morning and evening oblation of praise and thanksgiving shall continue to ascend to that God who has athicted but to make me whole." Ei'iLECTic Fits Ot twenty seven years and six months, cured by the use of this Truly Wonderful Medicine. Read the following reninrkable ense of the son of Wm. Secore, Esq., of Philadelphia, afflicted with Epileptic Fits twenty seven years and six months. After traveling through England, Scotland, Germany, and France, consulting the most eminent physicians, and expending for medicine, medical treatment and advice three thousand dollars, re turned with his son to this country, in November last, without receiving any benefit whatever, and was cured by using Hakt's Vegetable Extract. Mr. Wm. Secore's Letter to Dr. Hart: . I have spent over three thousand dollars for medicine and medical attendance. 1 was advised to take a tour to Europe with him, which I did. I first visited England. 1 consulted the most eminent physicians therein respect to his case; they examined him and prescribed accordingly. 1 remained there three months without perceiving any changs for the better, which cost me about two hundred and fifty dollars, pocketed by the physician, and ihe most that I received was their opinion that my son's case was hopeless and Positively Incurable. I accordingly left Enfland, traveled through Scotland, Germany and 'ranee, and returned home in the month of November last, with my son as far from being cured as when I left. I saw your advertisement in one of the New York papers, and concluded to try Hart's Vegetable Extract, seeing your statements and certificates of so many cures, some of twenty and ihirly ytnrs standing, and I can assure you lam not sony I did so, as by the use of Hart'u egetable Extract alone, he was restored to Peefect Health. His reason, which was so far gone as to unfit him for business, is entirely restored, with the prospect now bcUre him ol lite, health and usefulness. He is how 28 years of age. and 27 years 6 mouths of this lime litis been afflicted with this most dreadful ol diseases, but, thank God, is now enjoying good health. . Now, sir, faith without works I don't believe in. To say 1 shall be ever grateful to you is one thin g and us I here enclose you one hundred dollars, 1 have, no doubt but you will think this another and quite a dilferent thing The debt of gratitude I still owe you, but please accept this amount as interest on the debt in advance. Yours, very respectfully, (Signed) - WILLIAM SECORE. " Another remarhible Cure performed by the use of Hart's Vegetable Extract. Doctor H art: lt is with no f mail degree of gratification that 1 am enabled to onnounci to you the complete restoration to health of my daughter, by the use of your Vegetable Extract. At the age of six years, (her age at present is tixteen) she w:Ts first attacked with this dreadful malady called Epileptic Fits; and until she commenced taking the Extract, she suffered with attacks ol tits, almost incestamly, and so severely as to threaten to drive reason from its tin one, and render her insane Idiotic. Physicians pronounced lif r incurable, and cauld do nothing more lor her. We had almost despaired cf a cure, when heating of then mnrkahle cures perjornitd by the Vegetable Extract, we determined to give it a trial. The result has exceeded our most sanguine ex-" pectation, as by its ut-e she is fice from a most dreadful malady, and restored to Perfect Health.: Should any one feel deirous of seeing her, and of ascertaining the particulars of the rate, such -wish may be gratified by calling on oraddie.-fing a letter to me, past-paid, at my residence, two miles from the village of Yonkers, Westchester. New YorkO. C. DENSLOW, YonkersN. Y. Teething. Worm, CoMiveuess, eke, will produce this disorder. In all such cases the Vegetable Extract is the only medicine which Can be relied on wilh any degree of safety. Mothers who have email children should remember this. Many a Child, the prist year, who has suffered with this complaint, and Jhas been given over by physicians to die, has been restored by the use of but one bottle of Hart's Vegetable Extract. The child of William Andorson, North Fourth street, Williamsburgh, aged 20 months, had fits constantly for cisht weeks. A consultation of physicians was called, who decided that the ease was a hopeless one, and the child must die. Whilst the child was in this dangerous state Mr. Anderson call-' ed at my office and obtained a bottle of the Extract, administered it to the child, and the result was a perfect restoration of health. The eon of Mr. Robert McGec," corner of Sullivan and Prince streets, New York, was severely afflicted with fits. In this case also the physicians held aeon-, sultation ond decided that they could do no more, and that nature must effit its own cure, or the boy must die. The Vegetable Extract was administered to him whilst in a tit, by one of the attending physicians. Its t fleets were'almost instantaneous. The fits was broken, and the boy restored to health. Mr. McGee says, "I shall never again be without the medicine in my house, if I car avoid it, for fear that some of the rest of my children may be attacked in thesameway. I consider the medicine invaluable. We would refer to tne following persons, who have been cured by using Hart's Vegetable Extract. . W, Bennett, nine years, 171 Grand st. . - J.
