[Telegraph. ••••••••emamaim Cunn.—sv a statement from our cor respondent, it appears that the exports of that most productive spot of earth, 11111011 n ted in the year 1840 to almost twenty six millions of dollars; being four niillins and end a halt more than in 1838. The quantity of sugar exported was six times as large as the quantity of beet sugar grown in France dining a similar period. The immense wealth of Cuba and her productiveness, in despite of all the em barrassments imposed upon her by Spain, render her an interesting object for the contemplation of political economists. The foreign trade of that island is equal to one-filth of the foreign trade of the whole United States, including cotton, bread stuff's, and all the rest. Her inter nal trade is however comparatively small as there is very little variety in the pur • suits of her people. almost all of them are engaged iu agriculture, and that confined to two articles, the sugar cane and coffee tree.—Jour of Commerce PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.

THE PHOENIX BITTERS are so call ed, because they possesss the power of re storing, the expiring embers of health, to a glowing vigor throughout the constitution, • as the Phoenix is said to be restored to life from the ashes of its own dissolsiti. n. The Phoenix Sitters are entirely vegetable, com ' posed of roots found only , in certain parts of infallibly curewestern country, which will cure FEVERS AND AC UES of all kinds; will never fail to eradicate entirely all the effects of Mercury, infinitely sooner than the , most powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla, I and will immediately cure the determination, nt BLOOD TO THE HEAD ; never fail in i the sickness incident to young females; and will be found a certain remedy in all cases of nervous debility and weakness of the most impaired constitutions. As a remedy for Chronic and Inflamatory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the Phoenix Bitters will be de monstrated by the use of a single bottle, The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity • afforded by the universal cliffusien of th e press, for placing his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES within the knowledge and reach of every individual in the commun':.y. `Unlike the host of pernicious quackeries, which boast of vegetable ingredients, the Life Pills are purely and SOLELY VAGF.TA • BLE, and contan neither Mercury Antimeny, Arsenic, nor any other mineral,m any form whatever. The following arc among the distressing varietes of human diseases, to which the vegetable Life Pids are well known to be infallible: DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly dooming the first and sem% stomachs, and creating a I flow of pure and healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind,—flatulency, Palpita tion of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart burn and headache, Restlessness, 111-temp er, Ankiety, Languor and Melancholy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natnral consequence of its cure. Costiveness, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without voilence. Diarrhea and Cholera, by removing t.!7e :harp acrid fluids by which these domplaints ore occasioned. The Liter Medicines have been known to core Rheu matism permanently in three weeks, and Gaut in half that time. Dropsies of all kinds, by freeing end strengthening the kid• neys and bladder. A certain remedy for the worst cases of Gravel. Also Worms, by dislrnlging from the turnings of the bow els the slimy matters to which these crea tures adhere ; As films and Consumption, by relieving the vessels of t' e lungs from the mucus; Scurvey, Uuleers, and Inveterate Sores, by the perfect purity of these Life P lls give to the blood, and all the homers; Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Clomplexions, by thew alterative effect upon the fluids that feed the sluts: The use of these Pills for a very short time, will effect an entire cure of 'Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, nil striking itoprovement in the clearness of the Skim Common, Colds and Influenza, will always be cured by one dose, or by two, even us the worst casesest Piles,—as a remedy for this most distressing and cb stinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills de serve gdistinct and emphatic recornmenda ties. It is Well known to loindreds in this city, that the originator of ese invaluable Pills was himself afflicted with this com plaint for up Nerds of thirty-five years, and that he tried in vain every remedy pre , scribed within the compass of the Materia Medici: He however, at length, tried the, medicine which he ea, firers to the publie and be was cured in a very short time, All that Mr. hia•frat requires of his pa tients is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the direc tioeS. • .., ADVICETCfr EIL\ LES.-Females who value good health shoulirt ~ ..t..yr be without the Lite Medicines, as they "pwity the blood, remove onstrwtions, and give .u• skin a beatiful, clear, health; , and bloom ing4appearance. 10 I'ARENTS AND OTHERS.—Per sans of a plethoric habit, who are su') . l..et ti fits, headache, giddiness, dimness of si!fl,t, or drowsiness, from too great a flaw of lil.‘ad An the bead, s ouid take it frequently. ' Children, and persons (jail ages, may take them at any tone, as they do not ccatain mercury, or any big redien` that requires , confiaement or restriction of diet. ' TO ELDERLY PERSONS.--Manv healthy aged individuals, who know th'e valve of Moffat's Life Medicines, make it a rule to take them two or three tiros a week, by Which they remove the causes that produce disease, preserve their healt., and keep off qv! irlirmities of are. HEADS OF FVMILIES sbatdd always keep a quantity of the Life Medicines in the house, as a remedy in eases of sudden illness; far by their prompt administration, Cholera Mortals, Gout in tl.c stomach, Cramps, Spasms, Fevers, and other alarm ing complaints, which too often prove fatal may he speedily cured or prev,ined. FACTS FOR MOTHERS & NURSES. —lt is a fact establi died by the annual bills of morality, that one half of th children born are cut off before attaining seven years ' of age; and the fruitful source of this mor tality is found to exist in that foal state of of the stomach and bowels which produces the generation of Worms. As the safe re storer of lofinite Health, in this critical state, the Life Medicines have long held a distinguished reputation; and for foulness of the stomach and bowels, and canralsions, although %W m's may not exist, it is allow ed to be superior to any other. • Sold at the Dem.; and Chemical Store o THOMAS READ, Huntingdon, Pa.
