A report was spread, we know not on what aloha. city. that the Pope was seriously we are happy to contradict this report. His Holiness is able to attend to his usual functions; he was present at the funeral service for the late King of Pottugal on the 27th, and gave the absolution. . Ships of the line and frigates from Brest and Roche. fort are expected in the Mediterranean. Nor is it only the French squadron in the Mediterranean which will be .numerous ; that of England is strengthened every week; that of the Netherlands is going to be augmented, and it is even affirmed that a new Admiral will come and take the command of it. There is no doubt that a Rus sian and a Swedish squadron will shortly arrive there. Hitherto, only the squadron of the United States has remained of the same force as before. Notwithstanding the advantages derived from the late consignments (ex peditions) made to St. Domingo, those which were con templated are suspended till farther orders, as well as those to South America. The Petition,• signed by the principal merchants of Paris, for the establishment of an entrepot in the capi tal, has been delivered by a deputation to the Duke de Blacas, who has presented it to the King, and has in formed the Petitioners that his Majesty ha received it with much interest. A letter from Cadiz, of the 12th of June, says— " The Belton*, Captain St. Priest, has sailed with secret orders to be opened at sea. The Euryalus brig has also sailed." would be a trifling matter for the great intervening Powers. Notwithstanding the improvements introduced into the Turkish troops, they would be incapable of long resisting the discipline and vetoer of the Christian forces. Russia, however, seems resolved not to enter upon the war till its differences with Persia shall have been settled. Much is talked of some successes obtained by the Russians, in consequence of which it is said a treaty is to be entered into between the Emperor and the Schah. If this news be true, the peace with Persia will allow Russia to carry her forces into Turkey. espe cially if the war mime a serious character. Every thing ought to be anticipated, and shculd the Mussulman fanaticism revive, it will require more force to meet it than seems at present directed against Constantinople. members of the Hi; of Justice who tried him— the Canons of the —alt the Friars all the Nuns, and princi lies of Caracas, excited by the fears and distress _ the criminal's mother and family, interceded with the Liberator for his life; but the Liberator, convinced he had a duty to perform to the laws, was deaf to, every feeling but that of jusfee, an i ordered the execution of the culprit, to the so small surprise and admiration of a multitude of persons assembled, who, for the first time, saw that the laws, till then only nominal, would hereafter be enforced without respect to persons. No otbet individual . in America would have ventured to-resist the urgent lb treaties made upon chi: occasion. • Mr. Cockburn, th e British Minister; Sir e . Porter, the Consul, and Captain Austin, of the A 4 = have dined with t h e Lib erator, at an entettan ' which he proposed should do as much honour able to his guests. But, strange to say, the Congamor of America, it is known, had not at the time 4001. hi could call his own. His private property, formerly immense, he has distr buted amongst his relatives, since he made it a rule never to bestow public lucrative empldyments among any of them ; and out of h s allowance of 36,000 dollars a year as •Presideut, he gives 14,000 a year in pensions to the widows ard orphans whose fathers have fallen in defence or their country. The first toast was to the health of the greatest Monarch of the universe, commanding a nation whO enjoy liberty as their birthright; the next to M. Canning and his friends, to whom 'Americo, owes Ole preservation of her principles and the salvation ,of her cause. Mr. Cockburn made a very appropriate and manly speech, not unnrcessatily complimentary, but most friendly, and such as became a British Minister, with which the Liberator was greatly pleased. . MR. ABERNETHY ON HYDROPHOBIA. Having spoken of diseases introduced by mechanical and chemical injury, I proceed to speak of diseases produced by poisons—lt is not of poiscins in general I am going to speak, but of patticulhe piisdns. Mt. Hunter used to say, a great mystery hangs over this subject. Most poisons produce local disease ) but by none; a man ii bit by a mad dog, the around 'ciiiemioned by the bite heidit'ea'readily as any other wound. Now it has befit; doubted whether it be a poison? a little dog licked a girl's hands **ids were L chapped—the dog became snappish, had hydrophobia .and died, and the girl also died. Some would say that 'the poison was in the pustules of the dog's month.

The Theatre of the Ambigu Comique was sod. denly destroyed by fire last night. Not the slightest suspicion attaches to any person. The disaster was oc casioned by the fireworkers, making a trial after the • rformance was over of a firework which was to be introduced in a Melo-drama called La Tahatiera, which was to be performed next weet ; some sparks ascending caught the helm, and in less than ten minutes the flames gained such an ascendancy, that all attempts to check their progress were vain. The fireman who was on the spot was stifled in a minute by the smoke. The keeper of the Theatre hastened to the spot, and met his death. The workmen ran out to call for assistance: the firemen of the neighbouring barracks, and a de tachment of the troops, came to the spot, but could do no more than preserve the Theatre de la Gaiete, which is divided only by a party wall from the Ambigu. The wind happily blew in the opposite direction, otherwise it is probable that both Theatres would have been do► stroyed. A great part of the wardrobe was saved.•.* Besides the death of the two persons abovementionod o it is said that three firemen are missing, and that a sot geant of the line has perished. FROM THE QUOTIDIENNE. FRANKFORT, Jinx 2. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. The position of the different Cabinets, and particu. larly that of Russia, ought, at present, to call general attention. The great Power, especially in its relations with England, finds itself placed in a singular situation. It is not to be doubted but that the Cabinets of the two countries are divided in interests and opinions; in in. tere.ts, for besides the inevitable struggle which must take place between the two colossusses who balance Europe, there are several less public reasons for their interests being opposed,—l particularly allude to the Persian war, where nothing less is in question than their respective influence o►er a country, which is the key of India, one of the main sources of England's strength. With respect to opinion, it is impossible to suppose that sbe Emperor of Russia, whose accession was surrounded with plots and seditious, can ever enter into Mr. Can eing's system. It is then clear that the interests and opinions of Eng land and Russia are in direct opposition. Hop, then, does it happen that these two powers are closely united upon the question of Greece ? This requires explanation. It is not necessary to point out to you that. the Greek question is marked by peculiar traits, which may join the most opposite interests. It is more a question of humanity than of policy, without which it would be difficult to explain the intervention of France, whose policy would rather have been to maintain the old treaties with the Porte, than to tempt the aew adventure of an alliance with Greece, scarcely organized. But, I repeat it, it is with the generous eyes of humanity that the affairs of Greece have been viewed, and hitherto that has been a motive but little regarded. It may be added, that the situation of the Helenists required so prompt a decision, that it was necessary immediacy to unite or to have recourse to hostilities, and the great nations of Europe now so fear a serious war among themselves that they have rather chosen to act together than to fight. You may easily imagine that a campaign in Turkey COLOMBIA AND PERU. CARACAS, M•r 241. General Bolivar is will here, waiting the decision of the Congress, which had met at Tunga on the 2d May, to accommodate one of the Deputies who was ill, and complied with the law, which required the Congress to open in the presence of a • fixed number of Representa tives. The Congiess had then returned to Bogota for the dispatch of business. All parties unanimously agree that General Bolivar can alone restore tranquillity and happiness to this disordered Republic ; but even his personal authority and influence would not be sufficient. unless he is invested with extraordinary powers, which may enable him to settle conflicting interests, and, above all, prevent the system of vengeance, u hick could not be indulged without ensuring the total destruction of the country, and occasioning interminable hatreds. The Congress will summon the Great National As sembly authorised by the Code of the Constitution, in order that public opinion may be there collected and freely expressed on the subject of all its different reforms, so loudly called for by the departments. General Bo livar's regard for, I may say dread of, public opinion, not only in Booth America, but in Europe, and in Eng. land, the country of his admiration and highest esteem, makes him, perhaps, tco scrupulous in adopting those effective plans and measures, which he himself confesses are requisite for the salvation of Colombia. But the ' events which have occurred in Peru, the menaced attack on the Southern States by the mutineers from Lima, and the general voice of his fellow-citizens, have deter mined him to place himself at the head of affairs, under the sanction of Congress, and reestablish order until the Great National Council can be convened, to regulate the fate of the country. By this decision, so patriotically taken, Colombia may be considered as already restored to peace and prosperity. General Bolivar's strict execution of the laws bad been, indeed, attended everywhere with the happie effect, and at Caracas an imposing example was made, which shewed the people, that, for the first time, they were living under laws administered equally for the benefit and protection of all classes. A young man, of the name of V--, of the very first family of Caracas, committed an atrocious assassination on the person of a young Frenchman, for the purpose of robbing him. The crime was increased by a violation of all the lases' .of hospitality. Tried, convicted, sentenced to die, the clothes, the clothes will wipe off the poison. The Abbe Fontana cut out the part bitten. Caustic has been tried in a variety of instances, but it does not do good. This occasioned Jesse Foot to triumph over Mr. Hunter t De asked, have you not seen the account of Fontana's tap,- tiniest? It is only the tusk which penetrates the flesh, the trefoil like teeth in the front of the dog's mouth do not penetrate, they only graze or scratch the past. It is curious that during my apprenticeship there were 82 people in the hospital with it, and then again for year. it did not recur. It attacks those muscles in particular which are under the influence of the mind. There was an intelligent boy in the hospital who had been bitten, and to whose wound caustic had been applied ; the wound healed very well ; but a day or two afterwards, he said, he felt some pain in his arm, and I perceived two red lines extending up the arm. I did not appear to notice this mach, lest I should alarm him, but the next morning I went early to the hospital, as if for the purpose of making a visit expressly to another patient, in an adjoining bed; and as I was going away, I seemed to recollect him, as it were by accident, and I casually asked him how he was? he said, he had passed rather a restless night, and complained of heals and fever t I asked him it he would like to have a little toast and water ?he said yes, he should. 1 procured him some, and the moment he attempted to put it to his lips, he started back from it with convulsive horror ; in about nine hours after he died, as others do, with all the worst symptoms of this dreadful malady. I have very little reliance on the power of caustics; I am certain the only safe remedy is that of excision; a bit of skewer wood, shaped like the tooth which has penetrated, should be put into the wound, and all the part surrounding it should be taken away with the knife, taking care to go deep enough. This should be done as speedily as possible after the bite has been inflicted, for fear of absorption of the virus. Al though caustic destroys whatever it touches, it dues non seem to arhwer in hydrophobia. I was once breaking some lunar caustic to make a wash, and two or three little bits flew into my eye. I was much amused at this, fur on examining my eye by a mirror, I per hived two or three little black specks sin the cornea, so that I may literally say, Mach was the white of my eye. It is the opinion of some, that Dr. Cullen has done wrong in employing the term hydrophobia, as a generic name, ander which canine madness is included, for the dread of water is not universal, and is a symptom oc. curving only late in the disease. The disease does not commonly make its attack till a considerable time after the bite. In some instances it has commenced in seven or eight days from the accident ; but generally the pa tient continues in health for twenty, thirty, or forty days, or even much longer. The bite, if not prevented, will, in general, b e h ea l e d long b efore that time, fre quently with the greatest ease, though sometimes it resists all kinds of healing applications, and forms a running sore, which discharges a quantity of matter fur many days. There is no cure for this disease when once the symptoms shew themselves. A variety of remedies have from time to time been advertised by quack..— The " 01 mskirk Medicine," at one time was much in vogue—.it had its day, but it did not cure the disease, nor, as far as I know, did it mitigate any of its symp toms. With regard to the affection of the mind itself in this disease, it does not appear that the'patients deprived of ream; some have merely, by the din resolution, conquered the dread of water, though never-could conquer the convulsive motions whicl contact of liquids occasioned ; while this resoluti' been of no avail; for the convulsions and other toms increasing, have almost always destroyed the happy sufferers. ems are dint of gh they rich the ;ion has • syrup. the un• 1
