REPORT OF DISEASES,

opinion of his disorder constitutes the worst part of it. Fear is its most prominent feature, and most important ingredient. The corporeal part of his com plaint seems to be seated in the stomach, and his apprehension is in a great measure the creature of indigestion. There is no circumstance attending his indisposition which threatens danger, or is inconsistent with a fair chance of longe vity; and yet he is obstinately convinced, without being able to explain any reason for his inflexible persuasion, that he shall never recover, and that he is even actu ally trembling on the very edge of the grave. This is far from being a singular example of hypochondriasis, a disease which, whatever may be the cause, seems to be every day extending still wider the circle of its dominion.

Under the Care of the late Senior Physician of the Finsbury Dispensary, from the 20th of May to the 20th of June. N impressive instance occurred with. in the Reporter's knowledge about a fortnight ago, of the calamitous effect of impetuous passion. A farmer was intemperately indignant against a tenant, for some alteration which he had made in one of his houses, and in the crisis of his rage fell instantly dead at his feet. The violence of his emotion exhausted the powers of vitality, without the intervention of disease. The moment before the sudden rising of his rage, he was in the most perfect health, and had been so for a long time previous. Although at already an advanced age, his mode of living, and moderation in every thing but temper, promised still a considerable protraction of comfortable life. Armstrong had such a case as is here related in his view in the following description: But he, whom anger stings, drops, if he dies, At once, and rushes apoplectic down!"

It may be doubted, however, whether this fatal attack may be correctly considered as apoplectic, although that epithet is in general, but certainly with too little discrimination, applied to almost every case of sudden death, which has not been obviously occasioned by external violence. The physical injury arising from inordinate passion, separate from any mischievous action to which it may lead, has not been sufficiently the subject of medical attention. It operates upon the vital functions in a state of health, so as to produce disturbance and disease; and, in a state of actual disease, it has an alarming tendency to aggravate every symptom of disorder, and to increase the risk of a fatal termination. Anger, when it is not immediately dangerous, is at lcast unwholesome. It is painful, with out any compensation of pleasure. It is a thorn without a rose. A man must be

his health to his enmity, and really in

anger is not the only mode of mental
perturbation which is hostile to a man's
physical as well as intellectual well-being,
The Reporter has been lately consulted
by a person whose conversation and let-
ters exhibit a general superiority of mind,

cility. His good sense deserts him only

influence of mental agitation in producing Another remarkable instance of the disease of the body, the Reporter had an Opportunity of observing, in his attendlast winter. Her husband, who was exance upon a lady in the course of the tremely anxious on her account, was, at the time of her greatest danger, seized with an apparent and unequivocal jaundice; and it was observable afterwards, that his complexion grew gradually more his wife's ultimate recovery. The writer clear, as the prospect became brighter of of this article has at present under his professional direction a merchant, whose solicitude about the entangled and precarious state of his commercial affairs has so impaired the tone of his digestive organs, that he is unable to retain on his stomach any thing which it receives. There is no end to examples which might equally illustrate the medical power of the passions.

Although an evenness and quietness of temper may in many instances appear ought not, on that account, to be reconnate or constitutional, equanimity garded as out of the reach of acquisition. The feelings which have been subject to an habitual restraint, will seldom be found portionate emotions may often, in early to rise above their proper level. Disprolife at least, be repressed, in the same bodily shape are, by constant compres manner as deformities or irregularities of sion, forced into a more natural figure and dimension. J. REID.

pounders, was most pre-eminently compis cuous. The enemy now committed a most daring attempt, or rather an error, for which they were severely punished. In spite of two of our guns, which bore directly for a few paces on the road, three of their chosen regi ments, 4th, 20th, and 26th, dashed through the town, and formed rapidly on the flank of the Sd dragoon guards, which corps, concealed by a small hill, I verily believe they did not see, and in front of the 4th dragoons; them. selves presenting two fronts. A charge of the 3d dragoon guards, was at this time or dered on the right, and a simultaneous movement of the 4th dragoons, directed most judiciously by Brigadier-general Long, at the same moment on the left, where I had re

We invested Badajoz on the 25th inst on the right of the Guadiana, and, the ordnance and stores for the siege having been brought forward, we broke ground last night. The enemy have retired their main body upon Llerena, and hold the advanced post of their cavalry at Usagre. I inclose the copy of the report of Major-general the Honourable Wm. Lumley, of a very gallant affair of the cavalry near that place on the 25th. The Major general has reported that he received very great assistance from Major Holmes, of the 3d dragoon guards, who was acting in the department of the adjutant-general, and from Lieu-quested him to remain, decided the point.tenant Heathcote, of the royal dragoons, who was acting in the department of the quartermaster-general, as well as from the othcers mentioned in this report.

Camp near Usagre, 2 a m. May 26. SIR,--Having driven the enemy's rear guard from Usagre, Ioccupied that post on the night of the 24th, by placing the Spanish troops in front of the town, with their Tiradores well in advance towards the enemy, and the Por tuguese and British cavalry, with the four six-pounders, in rear of the place; a small brook, hollow and deep ravine, and narrow defile being on this side of the town. About six o'clock yesterday morning it was reported to me, that the enemy's cavalry were advan cing in force, and that there was reason to believe they were accompanied by artillery and infantry. Conceiving reports might exaggerate the fact, and not wishing to yield the post to inferior numbers, the 13th light dragoons and Colonel Otway's Portuguese brigade of cavalry were ordered across the ravine to the left of the town, through the narrow fords and passes which had been previously reconnoitred, and Brigadier-general Madden's brigade of Portuguese cavalry in like manner to the right, with orders to retire by the same passes if necessary; the heavy brigade of British, with the guns, being still in reserve behind the town. Upon the nearer approach of the enemy, it was evident they were advancing with the whole of their cavalry, and five or six heavy guns (eight-pounders). This being ascertained, and, upon opening their first gun, the line was ordered to retire, which they did slowly, in excellent order, and with. out loss; the Spanish troops filing on the main road through the town, which had been left open for them. A smart cannonade now commenced from the opposite heights, the superiority of numbers and weight of metal eccidedly in favour of the enemy; but the superior skill and well-directed aim of Capain Lefevre and his corps, with only four six

The enemy wavered before our cavalry reached them; but almost in the same instant they were overturned, and apparently annihilated, The affair took place so near the brook and bridge, which immediately leads into the town, and which I had forbid the cavalry to enter, that it was impossible for them to pur sue; it is difficult therefore to decide upon the enemy's loss; many, severely wounded, escaped through the town, others threw themselves off their horses, and escaped over the brook and through gardens; but, besides 78 prisoners, 29 lay dead on the spot; many were also observed lying dead on the bringe and in the first street; and a peasant reports, that from 30 to 50 were sent off wounded to their rear on horses and cars. I must not omit to state, that a portion of the Count de Penne Villamur's Spanish cavalry gallantly Supported the charge on the left of the 34 dragoon guards, as I am informed Brigadier general Madden's brigade did on the right; but the dust caused by the charge was so great, I was myself unable to observe on that flank. I am positively assured from the report of the prisoners, that the enemy had 13 regiments of cavalry in the field, which, though not exceeding from 2 to 300 men each, gave them so great a superiority over the force under my orders, composed of three na tions, many of them as yet but little known to each other in cavalry movements, that I feel fully justified in not placing a deep ravine and defile in my rear, and attempting to defend the town, which is only defensible by infantry, from an attack on the other side, I have the peculiar satisfaction to add, that the advantage gained Bas been almost bloodless on our part, although occasionally for a few seconds, of necessity exposed to the range of artillery and a charge mase against a corps elite of the enemy, who, on the other hand, visibly suffered from our artillery, in addition to those lost in the charge.
