I , • i , 1 Castelfollit is an old, irregular fort, with a zigzag wall ; hut the steep banks of two rivers, which give it the form of a peninsula, render the poition ex ceedingly strong. On the side w here the access is not intercepted by the rivers, there are two out works. This fort was besieged and taken in 1694 by the French Army, which rased a part of the works'; but the Spaniards who were against Bonlparte re stored the. fortifications, and the Regency of Urgel furnished them with artillery. It was the advanced post of the Army of the Faith in Eastern Catalonia; and it menaced Lampurdan, Girona, and Figueras. - The movement of Mina on Balaguer is inexplica• ble, When it is considered that that place is thirty-five leagues distant from Castelfollit. However, two things are to be recollected. The Army of the Faith occu pies nearly all the mountainous districts; the Consti tutional Army the maritime heights and plains. The line of operation for the latter extends over 401eagues, from Castelfollit and Girona, to Lerida and Balaguer. It appears, then, that Mina adopts the movement of the shuttle, in marching rapidly from one extremity of his line to the other. Balaguer has old fortifica tions of considerable extent. It is situated in the midst of the-great plain of Urgel, which forms part of the valley of the Segre.

THE GENUINE SYRUP OF DE VELNOS. THE only Depot for this useful Sp , ing and Autumn Aitcrative, is No. se, Bertier'S-street, Oxford-street, where it is prepared according to the recipe of the late Mr. Swainson, entrusted to his nephew and successor, Mr. ThonrraW Canhain, alone. Among all the Medicines of this denomination, the VEGETABLE SYRUP of DE VELNOS has obtained a distinction which its efficacy acute can support. It corrects, purities, and sweetens the Blood; and those who are afflicted with Scrofula, Leprosy, Scurvy, and many of those melancholy diseases arising from impurity of the Wood and juices—those who su&r from diseased liver, and for the dissipations and indiscre tions of their youth, should submit to a regular course of the VEGETABLE SYRUP. The effects of this Medicine are such as not to interrupt either business or pleasure; it operates on the anitnal juices, and requires only the common restraints of moderation in diet. It is dissolved in the chyle of the stomach : is conveyed by the circulating fluids, and corrects their tendency to all those diseases which originate in vitiated blood. It is a safe, though a powerful substitute for mercury, and removes those evils which an unsuccessful use of thit mineral occasions. The Syrup is sold at the Proprietor's house, No. 52, Berner's street, Oxford-street, at 13s. a bottle; and, by his appointment, at Mr. Atkinson's, 190', Bishopsgate-street Without; and by Mr. Canham's other Agents in every considerable town in the United Kingdom; and the Concentrated, for warm climates, by his deputed Agents in the East Indies, viz.—Messrs. Mackintosh and Co. Calcutta; and Messrs. Forbes and Co. Bombay. FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. TN this Preparation are concentrated all the Medi -1. cinal Properties of the Sarsaparilla Root, even to a perfect saturation of the Menstrum with which it is prepared. To such persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impos sible to prepare the Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which. pos sesses the advantages of portability, and of keeping in any cli mate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the kin ' such as the Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases , Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased state of the system at large. It may be taken either alone, or combined with water, rendering it of the same strength as the Decoction.

SIR —The very extraordinary cure which has been perforraed upon me, by the sole use of your inestimable A NTISCORBUTIC DROPS, compels me, from a sense of gratitude, to transmit the following particulars, in hopes you will be induced to give them publicity. About two years ago I was attacked with that dreadful com plaint the King's Evil or Scrofula: it commenced with a violent pain and swelling in my knee, attended with loss of appetite and general debility: these continued to increase flr some time, when two ulcers made their appearance, and shortly after five others succeeded them, all upon the knee. I tried every other means that lay in my power to get them removed, but all In ' vain, as I could not get even the least relief : as I remained in this deplorable state 18 months, dining which time I was quite unable to follow my employment, a friend strongly recommended a trial of you: Antiscorbutic Drops. I accordingly commenced taking them, and it gives me the most heartfelt gratification to inform you, that, by a due perseverance, the complaint has been eradicated, and I have for some time enjoyed perfect health. It will give me pleasure to give any further information, either personally, or if by letter post paid. —I am, Sir, your most obe dient and grateful servant , THOS. OXLEY, Clothier.

It has been mentioned iri some of the Papers that Glastonbury contains the ashes of four Saxon Kings. It has not been stated that the bones of King ARTHUR there repose. The history of the Anglo-Saxons, pub lished two and twenty years Ago, gives the following curious particulars : " The grave of ARTHUR was the mystery of the world; his death was concealed, and a wild tale was diffused among the populace, that he had withdrawn from the- world into some ms. gical region, from which at a future crisis he was to re-appear, ' and to lead the Csinmry in triumph through the Island. Why this diction was invented, we may now inquire in vain. It could not repress the ambition of the Saxons, because the temporary absence of ARTHUR was sufficient to favour their wishes; and if his living authority could not prevent British insurrection, was it probable that lilirresidence in another region would avail? Yet li'auessiti industriously sang that MoROAHA bad promised, if he remained a long time with her, to heal his wounds; and it is tie/twic's that the return of ARTHUR was a fond hope of the people for many ages. Perhaps it was an illusion designed to avert the popular vengeance from those who; by-aiding MR.• DRAWD, had contributed to produce the lamented eveot ; perhaps the Kings inculpated by GILDAS had participated in the rebel lion ; or perhaps some, affecting to reign in trust for ARTHUR, conciliated the public prejudice in favour of their government, by thus representing that they governed only for him. " But though the friends of ARTHUR concealed the place of his interment, a t uture age discovered it. In the year 1181, when romance had begun to magnify his fame, hia body was diligently sought for in the Abbey of Glastonbury. tIINRY DR Soli', the Abbot, at the solicitation of Hamar the Seconn, and others, pro secuted the search. The KING had often told him, that he had heard from the Welsh Bards that ARTHUR lay buried between two pyramids, very deep. The Monastery contained two stone pillars, with many inscriptions illegible from the injuries of time and the antiquity of the writing. The ground between these was dug to a great depth, and above seven feet below the sur face a leaden cross was found under a scoria, with the inscription, ' Hic jacet seindtas inclitus Bee Artlistreis in insula dloalleni.' The Abbot presented the cross, and GIRANDUS read the incription.— Nine feet below this the remains of ARTHUR appeared, inclosed in oak: of this formidable warrior nothing but dust and bones were visible. Some yellow hair indicated that his second wife had lain near him. " The bones of King ARTHUR were as extraordinary as his re puted actions: an eye-witness declares, that the Abbot applied the tibia to the leg of the tallest man then present, and that it rose three finrii-rs' breadth above the knee. His skull was-equally ptodigious ; le space of a hand expanded between the bones which had been covered by his eye-brows. Ten wounds marked the head, which had concreted into scars, except one that dis played an unclosed chasm, the avenue of rate. The revered re lics of the Hero were re-interred with magnificence." A mineral spring has lately been discovered in a suburb of Potsdam, which, !torn the analysis that has been made of the water by older of the Government, promises to be of great use in curing some disease;. Seieral English swindlers, who had been circu lating false trills of exchange in Berlin, were arrested just as they were going to set off with post horses. They had already obtained large sums from mercan tile houses there, and had their passports signed by the English Ambassador, and false papers being found oil them, they were conducted to prison.

' EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT or ALARM IN A HORSE. A Gentleman in the neighbourhood of Chester sent his servapt to the Yost-off i ce on a clumsy sort of a horse that had never been known to leap before that day. It so happened - that a glazier, who had been 'Mending some windows at his house, asked the ser •vant to let - him ride behind. No sooner was •he mounted tintit .the horse, heal rattling at hia back, statted coming to the lodge gate, w) ilTches hi'gh, and spiked at the neither at his ri,:e.s were Oro, rli i.

FROM THE !MUSEUM ; OR, RECORD OF LITERATURE. Putastmes.—The idlest of all butterfly chases is the ru'n after pleasure. Pleasures that a man must pait after till his breath is gone, are not worth the enjoying ; they are not• really pleasures, but rather pains made palatable, like the bitter pills that go agreeably down the throat when disguised in sugar. Those are the best and truest pleasures that we find without seeking. We should laugh, and cry “fool!” arr. a man who set ow with the determination .to pick-iip a guinea hi his path, and not to rest till he had found one; and so might we shout after the pleasure-seeker; for what does he go to seek, but the guinea he may never find ? It were not unwise in any man to resolve, that, if he saw one at his feet, he would pick it np, and enjoy the use of it ; and so should we resolve 'only to take those pleasuie , , that drop at our feet, but not to set out to seek them.—. Those which are purchased, either at that dearest of all prices, the price of conscience, or at that hardly less dear one, the price of health—are not pleasures, but bought pains. I always think those grapes the sweetest which are given me. A bunch that I have dearly purchased, if it prove sour, is very likely to sous my temper as well as my taste; but if it is gift, though I lose the sweet I expected, I lose nothing more. To such tempers, those pleasures which are the especial gifts of chance, or of the good intention's of that PROVIDENCE which throws its pleasurable gifts in every man's path at some time or other; are always sweet : it is the far-sought and the dearly purchased ones which are sour, either in the enjoy ment, or in the after-relish. There arc two classes of pleasure-hunters—the ef feminate and the coarse; and there is but this differ ence between them (if it is one), that the pleasures of the one degenerate into beastliness, and those of the other into brutality. LIARS.—It is a common saying, that I liars should have good memories :' it were, perhaps, better that they should not, for then they would betray them selves; and rather, that those who believe in their fictions as truths, should have the better memory to detect their contradictions. The pro Verb should run thus: g Those who listen to liars should have good memories: Fatzzens.—Never was a word conveying the idea of attachment more abused.• The major part of the beings who take on themselves that exalted title (for no man is nobler than a true friend), or are foolishly allowed to wear it, are a set of familiars—hangers.on on your wine or your wit—human barracks, that cling to the gallant ship of your fortunes as long as it sails securely and rides through the tempest; but drop from it the moment you are thi own on the shores •of sorrow, or strike on the hidden rocks of ruin. To be a true friend is to be one man in a mil lion.: there are such men, but they are in the quan tity of Gratiano's wit, " a grain of wheat in a bushel of chaff." He knew them well, who exclaimed— " Oh that mine enemies were my friends, rot then should see their backs !" GREAT MEN'S DEPUTIES.—It may be said of any pompous and inflated deputy of a great Officer, that like all shadows, he looks larger than the substance. INCONSISTENCIES or .ourt LAWS.—In Scotland child-stealing is punished with death—in England, with transportation beyond the seas. A rational child stealer should therefore prefer to steal them in the lat ter country; unless, indeed, he can satisfy himself with a good and sufficing reason why he should pre fer a Scotch child and the gallows to an English child and transportation. SPACE.—I was never so much struck with the vast ness of the area within the dome of St: Paul's as when I saw a little child running across the centre of it. MANNERS.—Those even of the country, in Queen Anne's Augustan age, must have been in a high de gree depraved by the modish French foppries im ported into our city, when the daughter of a country squire, a pretty rustic girl of sixteen summers, who had never seen London, is described in her affected bashfulness at being gazed at even by the polite Spec tator himself), as dropping first her glove, then her fan, and lastly her sne-box, in her well-affected con fusion. A snuff-box in the hands of a country girl of sixteen! OPTICAL TRAP.—To the curious it may not be un interesting to be informed that an ingenious sports. man in this vicinity (Newport, R. I.) has lately in vented what appears to be entirely a novel mode of trapping birds, animals, &c.• It is founded on the principle of the fondness of many animals to associate with each other—and is effected merely by placing a mirror in a suitable trap, so situated that the animil, in passing to and from its usual haunts, may see itself reflected, and is somehow or other curiously impelled to approach the glass, and consequently entrapped : for instance, in older to take minks, &c. a common box trap is made use of, with a mirror in the extreme end (oi.posite the mouth); this being placed on the margin of a river or pond of water frequented by them, they will necessarily see themselves in it, and, like Narcissus, fall in love with their shadows, and are instantly taken. The inventor has not .only been succe.sful in taking the above, animals, but he assures me that•he has recently caught rabbits and partridges in one of this construction, and that no less' than two dozen mice were taken in one night, ithout any other Wit.—American Paper. . • •` .
