EXIRAORDINARY FIRM NESS. PROM A NEW TORK PAPER—DATED 2ATAVIA t (NEW Tontz.) MAY 21. One of the most riogulu circumstances recorded in the history of accidents occurred in Middlebury, in this county, .on the 16th haunt, and exhibits in the hero of misfortune a mind melting in the cool, de liberate, and determined virtues. The subject is as • follows :—Artemas Shattuck, on that day, in a piece of chopping that he was clearing, felled a tree across a stump, in which situation it remained nearly balanced, the top, however, • buoyed up by the butt; while thus suspended, he undertook to cut the tree ir. two near the stu•lip upon which it was lodged, and v./;ile standing upon it for that purpose, he cut so much more upon the upper than the under part of the tree, that the weight of the butt caused it to split, and . at the instant of the greatest vibration or separation of several parts, his toot slipped into the cavity of the opening timber, and remained as firtt►ly fixed as in a vice ; he fell immediately back- wards, in which fall he lost his axe, but soon reco vered a position that enabled him to hold upon the tree...bi on; hand, with the other lie drew oat his pocket-knife and cut a limb with a hook attached to it wittrtheintention of drawing the axe and cutting the ;iree. to liberate his foot, but soon fifund his efforts He then . tried to break his leg, as that' . Would have enabled him to turn his body in a positron to sit upon the tree and wait the lingering hour of assistance ; but his position prevented even the gratification of this harsh relief Finding his strength failing fast, and no prospect of timely relief (as nq human assistance was within three quavers of a mile), he adopted the only alternative that remained of saving himself from the hard and horrible death of expiring while suspended in the air, with his head down and feet up. With his penknife he deliberately severed his foot from his leg at the ancle joint, and on his hands and knees bent his course for home. In this posture he crawled a full halt-mile before calls for assistance were heard, and twice had to deviate several rods from a direct line to a rivulet to quench his raging thirst.—He is likely to do well. GERMAN PAPERS. •AUGSIURGH, JULY 4. The illgenseiffe Zeitung has the two following articles from _ltaly (marked thus*, as original) : Si Rome, Aiwa:lL—Father Hayes, who some time ago•presqmed to publish in the English Papers some very indecorous letters against his Holiness himself ; and still more •particularly against the Cardinal Se cretary of State, has shewn for about a month past, such ardent symptoms of derangement, and, indeed, of absolute madness, that several physicians have ad vised that he should be conveyed to the Lunatic Hospital in the Lungara ; particularly as his conduct was. of, such a nature as to exciie public scandal.— For the present he is guarded by an officer of health iu his own apartments." " FLORENCE, Amy 23.—The Marquis of Matialva, who has been at Florence for some days, has received dispatches horn Lisbon, according to which the squa dron v hich is destined to fetch the Princess of Brazil horn Leghorn, will not be able to sail before the end a the month ; because a great part of the crew had been taken to man the ships which had been sent to blockade Pernambuco. The Princess has, iu the mean time, taken up her abode, with her suite, at the villa called Poggio Imperiale, half a league from F:orence. " The Police has not yet succeeded in discovering the murderer •of a Florentine Nobleman, Don Ft- lippn Nan, who was some time since murdered in the street, at night, by being stabbed in many places; he was not, however, robbed. This assassination • excites the more attention here, as, thanks to the mild character of the peol.le of this city, such crimes are extremely rare at Flotence. ,• We learn from Rome, that his • Holiness is grow ing a little better, after having kept his bed several days in consequence of a fall. Besides his body physician, Mendiluer Preis, ise is at present attended by Dr. Bemba." NUREMBERG, JULY 2. num Swenen.---The whole Swedish coast. from the Gulph of Bothnia to Norway, is, as it were, co vered with a great number at small vessels, and along the whole line troops posted to prevent smuggling ; a measure which excited the more surprise, as the ex penses attending on it are in no proportion with the proposal economy, and will, besides, nut fulfil the intended object; on the contrary, since the publica tion of the prohibition, large orders for wine have been sent both from Gottetiburgh and Stockholm to Bourdeaux, London, and Copenhagen ; because the speculators calculate on such a large profit from the great rise on the prices, that the aelzui e ut part of the cargoes will be covered by it, especially soici the pprices of whir are very low abroad. The merchants, howeter, have been much alarmed by the old severe regulations—and it is expected ip the approaching Diet, lively remonstrances will be made respecting them; and respecting the whole of the present com mercial system, which has had no favourable in fluence on the course of Exchange. The measures have also excited very great sensa tion abroad, espechilly in England; and the owe of the public prints in that country has become since then much more bitter towards the Crown Prince of Sweden: they call hini only Bernadotte the Swede- Gaul, or Uallo.Snedish Hero, and say it is his inten tion to gain over the discontented by popular festi. Tali, such as the removal of the standatids, &c. in which he and his son appear as dramatis penome, &c. The strict injunctions given to the Commanders of all the coasting vessels to visit and examine all fo reign vessels that approach the coast, and which go so ter that not only the Swedish vessels, but those of some other countries ; for example, Mecklenburgh, shall have a .guard on board wh en they come to shore, have given rise to complaints from several Bowers, and, a short time before the departure of M. Thornton, to a note drawn up in a very decisive tams; however, soon after this, these instructions were greatly modified, especially in respect to the last Point and the Russian' and Finland vessels are far lest strictly watched than those of other nations. LOWER ELBE, IUNE 25. We have before stated, that a Swediih ship of war is stationed close to the Danish guard ship in the hound, to examine the mitts of the Swedish vessels that pass by, that the reputation of the SWedish Rag may not be exposed byany irregularity in. these papers, during the present insecurity of the naviga tion even of the Northern Seas, since the Barbary Pirates have had the insolence to appear there.— Some thought, but without foundation, this ship was designed to form the first line of Custom-house sta tions on the Sea ; they pretend it has detained and examined several- English ships bound to Swedish ports, to see if they had any such goods no board as are included in the late prohibitions. Whether Eng land will allow of such a Swedish line on the Seas, as England itself has in fact in a certain degree, time will spew. ..... Concurring accounts from. all the South of Ger many, and the countries on the Rhine, state Corn to have fallen .50 per cent. within a short tint , and to be still declining. • THE EVENING STAR.

Our Readers would observe, by German accounts which we yesterday laid before them, that the Ger man Dit t means form:illy to apply to this country on the subject of the Barbary Pirates ! Apply to us on such a subject ! With what face can they ask us to protect a commerce from which, as far as they have rums, they are labouring to exclude tts ? What tight have they to imagine that this country can be induced to lend its aid in support of their Anti-Anglo system? England delivered the Continent from the tyranny cf NAPOLEON—in return, the Continent en deavours to re-establish NAPOLEON'S prohibitory de crees! and the Germans would deign to receive our aid to repel the Barbary hostilities against German commerce ! ! Were England to say—•• We have no objections to drive out the Turkish Authorities, to establish British garrisons on the south coast of the Mediterra nean, and to take the natives under the protection of our Government,"—what would the Continental Powers then say ?—They would call this an attempt to monopolize the trade of Noeth Africa. The com mercial avarice of England would be the theme of their philippics, and nothing would be talked of but the necessity of a Continental union to bumble the pride of Britain. _ We have seen such things, ye miserable drivellers! Tame, pusillanimous, and submissive, none of you dared to move a tongue against BONAPARTI! But no sooner is this bugabo removed at the expense of " the selfish island of shopkeepers" than you begin to swagger and talk of humbling the pride of England ! Suppose you were to succeed, what would become of you, if such are your means of defence or aggres sion that you cannot annihilate a nest of pirates. Go learn a little common sense. Do you think that Eng land is both blind and stupid B This morning arrived a Mail from Hambnrgh. By accounts from Petersburgh, it appears that the EMPEROR, since his return from England, is intro ducing into his capital foot-pavements of fl ag-stones, as in all out large towns. This improvement is now executing throughout St. Petersburgh, where, the streets being ♦ery wide, the foot-pavements are made of considerable breadth ; but the EstrEaon has im proved upon us by separating them from the carriage way by an iron railing, which has a pleasing and magnificent effect. The population of Petersburghl amounts now to 285,500. The accounts from Stockholm bring the termina tion of the inquiry respecting the late pretended con spiracy against the CROWN PRINCE ; 'which now ap pears to have had no existence but in the imagination of an old man, proved by the faculty to have been long labouring under great nervousness. By his mode of combining circumstances, he 'dad wrought Olimselt up to the belief of having discovered a deep laid conspiracy : he communicated the fruits of his sagacity in confidence to others; of course it got cur rency, and at last reached the Police 1 The Journal de la Belgique, in one of its re cent Numbers, remarks, with astonishment, that the STAR " in giving an account of the late com imotions in the Netherlands, should have re presented them as much more serious •than they were in fact, and stated that many soldiers lost their lives, when there • was no foundation whatever for any such assertion." 4 ‘ The English ,Journalist could not," it is added, " have found this tale in any qf our (Belgic) Papers, which contained not a single word at the kind."—A spirit of exagge- ration is, we confidently flatter ourselves, the very last thing of which our habitual Readers would think of accusing us ; nor in the present instance are we conscious of having said a word which can detract from that character for fidelity of representation which we have always been most anxious' to maintain.— The fad is, notwithstanding this Journalist's positive assertion to the contrary, that the statement which we gave was in every particular an exact transcript of an article which really did appear in the Brussels Papers, under the head of Ostend, of date the 24th of June. And what besides puts all idea of fabrication on this side of the water out of the question is, that not the STAR moire, but most of its contemporaries, JiJ, er the same .day, give precisely the same account of the matter.—lf theft has been any exaggeration in the case, the journalists of Brussels must themselves bear the blame of it ; nor, when we rev - Meet how famed this city has been of old for its Ga=eurs, need we be sur prised at the cap fitting w:tere it does. BRUSSELS, JULY 12. PRIVATE tr.r•rr.k. The King, accompanied by the Prince of O:arge, will set out to-morrow on a tour, going first to Bruges, and Ostend. The most perfect trawl:lathy now prevails here. All the clamour about the price of bread is at an end. The prices of articles are rapidly falling. Hay has come down most astonish ingly in the course of the last three days. All ac counts concur that there will be a mere bountiful harvest than has occurred for a series of years past. There are not many English here at this season.— Lord Holland has left this for Spa. That distin guished advocate of humanity, the Duke of K..nt, appears to enjoy the best health—may it I ,, ng con tinue! The famous carriage taken from Bonaparte, at the Field of Waterloo, a present to the Prince of Orange, formerly in possession of the King's coach maker, is now moved to the King's private coach. house here. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this morning, from which we subjoin a few extracts: PARIS, JULY 12. Madame Regnault de Saint Jean-D'Angely has received permission to quit the kingdom, and has set out for the waters of Ais.-la-Chapelle. Dl.►dame Lavalette, whose arrest has been formerly announced, has been transferred to the Prisou of the Prefecture of Police. BERLIN, JUNE 10. In spite of all the asscciatio:is which hare been entered into in Prussia. against the use of English manufactures, the demand for them still prevails.— Many persons prefer them on account of their ex tremely low price. COPF.NHACEN, JUNE 2R. On the 25th the prisoners in the House of Correc tion broke out into open revolt, and soon after the building was discovered to be on fire, through the confusion arising from which, it is presumed the in cendiaries expected to effect their escape. Not only troops, but even artillery, were obliged to be brought to quell the revolt. The principal ring-loaders have been tried by a Court-Martial, and executed. It being impossible, in the midst of the disturbance, to take measures to stop the fire, it made, in a short time, great progress, avd the damage done is estimated at not less than 400,000 crowns. WARSAW, JUNE es: On the 20th the anniversary of the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Poland was celebrated here with great solemnity. PARMA. JUNE so. The typhus is daily extending its ravages, in con sequence of the extreme heat of the weather. French Funds, 11th July, 65fr. Gsc. Jamaica Papers to the 2d of .Tune reached us this 'morning. They present no news of importance. It appears that on the .27th and 28th of May, the Ad miral sent out the Larne and the Esk, port sloops of 20 guns, and the Tyrian brt of 10 guns, in pursuit of the Guerrier schooner, which had been seen off Port Royal, but they all returned on the .10th with out succeeding in their object. The PKINCE REGENT returned to town on Sl:llday evening from Windsor. Yesterd ly his Royal High. ness gave audiences to Viscoant Stnatou tit, Earl BATHURST. and Count MUNSTER. . Friday evening the CIIANCEJJ.OR of the Exam elven, after attending the PRINCE REGENT'S Court, at Carlton How, left town for Harwich, returned to town again early on Sunday morning; and is about to proceed to Ireland. Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted military business with the PRINCE REGENT. Saturday the Duke of CLARENCE went to Windsor, on a visit to her MAJESTY and the Put /chum. Colonel WM/motes ill state of health, and parti cularly a very severe attack which he has recently suffered, has obliged him to ask for permission to tire from the REGENt's service. We sincerely regret the cause and the effect. Colonel M'lvlatt.)N will carry with him into his retirement the thanks of many whom he has served, and the heart-felt good w•isi.es of all who know him. The Louth and Grimsby Coach, with seventeen outside passengers, was ovet turned last week. S. ye.- ral persons were severely hurt, and one gentlarian had a leg broken.
