of, the artillery, baggage, and stores were -em- 
“barked that night and the following day, and 
removed to the Point of Slypsharn, four miles 
_ from Nyborg, where the army was embarked 
safely, and without upposition, this morning, 
notwithstanding the very unfavourable state 
ofthe weather, and they are now under the 
protection of his Majgsty’s ships at the an- 
~chorage off the Island of Sproe. 
Some sacrifices of horses and steres were 
@onceived necessary by the general; and as I 
cofisidered it right, uuder the peculiar circum- 
stances, toenter into the views and wishes of 
the Marquis de la Romana, every avoidable 
act of hostility wae rigidly abstained from, for 
I did not consider it any to bring away the brig 
and cutter that rejected our offer of security, 
and forcibly opposed our entrance into the 
port; and I even undertook to liberate the 
vessels employed as transports, provided no 
interruption was made by any to the peaceable 
embarkation of our friends. 
‘ Tshould be unjust to the meritorious exer- 
tions of the officers and seamen employed on 
this short but fatiguing service, if 1 neglected 
to represent their merits on this occasion to 
you; captain Graves’s services were required 
afloat; captain M‘Namara, of the Edgar, un- 
dertook the equipment of the transports, witn 
the embarkation of the stores; the embarka- 
tion ef the troops was made under the direc- 
tion.of Captain Jackson, of the Suber? and 
Captain Lockyer, of the Hornd; Captain 
Smith, of the Devastation, and Captain James, 
of the ‘Kite, were indefatigable in their exer- 
tions inthe various duties I assigned them,

Many citcumstances having combined’ to 
make an attack on tlie rear probable, great 
precaution was necessary. 
Such guns as could be brought against “us 
were spiked, and the embarkation was co-~- 
vered and most effectually protected by the 
Minx gun-brig and the two prizes, and by the 
very judicious disposition of the gun-boats, “ 
under the command of Captain May of the 
Royal Artillery, who volunteered, and whose 
services on this and other occasions were 
highly useful. 
It is not easy to express the joy ‘and sotis= 
faction felt by every class of the army at thie 
event 3 and no circumstance, E believe, could 
have afforded. more real pleasure to-us ali.

One person, in a state of asthenia, or 
constitutional decline, was precipitated 
in her descent to the grave, by the ill- 
advised and fatal interdiction of that 
fuel, which is es$ential.to the flame of 
- life ¢, like a watch that stops because it 
and other atinospheric ame- 
isnot wound-up ; even those extranrdi- 
nary stimuli which are noxious in heaith, 
are necessary in disease. 
Morbid symptoms of the Jungs, and of 
what are called the: nerves, scll appear 
predominantly conspicuous within the 
sphere of the reportei’s professional b=. 
servation, Of the former class.of com- 
plaints, the greater part may be attribut- 
ed to the caprice of our atmosphere, or 
to the folly of our fashions; to the semi-« 
nakedness of our.females, and to the un- 
seasonableness of-our nocturnal dissipa- 
tions, 
Nervous complaints, on the other 
hand, arise principally from a deficie 
ency ‘of exertion. An ancient and clas~
