Esq., COUNT PECCHIO, and W. H. HUMPHREYS, Esq.; written during their recent visits to that Country, and exhibiting a picture of its present politi. cal condition, state of society, manners, resources, &c.

The authors of this work were all actively engaged in the late important pro. ceedings. Mr Emerson was concerned Dot only in the land service, but in some of the naval engagements between the Greeks and their enemies, of which he gives several vivid descriptions. His journal is brought down as late as last August, and in it will be found, among other interesting details, a circum. stantial narrative of the attempt to assassinate Mr Trelawney. Count Pecchio was a commissioner, authorised by the Greek deputies: his narrative is known to possess the importance of an historical document, and is rendered additionally valuablo by its incidental sketches of the scenery of Greece. Mr Humphreys held a captain's command in the Greek service, and has been honour. ably mentioned in the work of Colonel Stanhope, and in the letters of Lord Byron.

BILIOUS and LIVER COMPLAINTS.-As a mild and effectual remedy for all those disorders which originate in a vitiated action of the Liver and Biliary orgaus, namely, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Head-ache, Heartburn, Flatulencies, Spasms, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver, &c. &c. DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS have met with more general approval than any other medicine whatsoever. They unite every recommendation of mild operation with successful effect; and require no restraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences of redundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from excesses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.-Sold in boxes, at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., 118. and 22s. by Butlers, Chemists, 4 Cheapside, corner of St Paul's, and 54 Sackville street, Dublin; Savory and Co. 136 New Bond street, and 220 Regent street; and by the principal Medicine Venders throughout the United Kingdom; of whom may be had, PARSON'S HOOPING COUGH MEDICINE, an effectual and safe remedy for this dangerous complaint In packets at 24. 9d,
