Tin: space een these plates was Ved up with • the nturiatic a id, and the • metallic comonsnication was etieded by a piece of copper passing from the last ..pace of one box into the first of the other ; this process occupied a considerable time; when it was completed the Ledurer or.iered the winaows to be closed, so as to exclude the light, and he proceeded to exhibit various experiments. With regard to the deflagration of different metals. such as gold, saver, and copper, the effed produced by these experi ments was no less astonishing than beautiful: he took a liar plate of zinc and copper which commu nic - ' the liquor in the boxes, and placing it In c ; the metals we have described, they inns. issolved ; the dissolution of the gold pro • ivid red flame ; that of the silver a high " " one, and the copper a dark red one. 7he next and last experiment was by tar the most extraordinary. The head of a sheep was brought in, which has been recently cut off from the animal, and WIS scarcely cold ; this was placed in the mid dle of the four boxes forming the battery ; a plate of sine, about the size of a half crown, communicating 1 w a wire with the salt and water ir. one of the boxes, •3:15 introduced into the mouth of the sheep, ana the Lecturer applied another piece of the same metal, communicatng in like manner with another box, to the spine of thee , animal; immediately the whole face of the sheep exhibited the most extraordinary distortions, the lips quivered, the nostrils expanded, the teeth chattered, the eves opened and shut, the iris tem contra4led, the ears moved violently to and fro, and the entire head appealed in motion. It is impossible to express the surprise of every one at these wonderful phenomena. The Ledurer then wok nut one of the eyes, and placinz, it upon the t.ibie, applied the same 5{.4111165 to It ; the optic ner:e exhibited a tremulous motion, and the axis con:rad:l' itself :nd expanded again. These expe innents having exited the admiration of the com p iv, the Leaurcr concluded by some general ob servations; be. said that he had, in the course of his pi ,a , ce of late ) applied the galvanic theory to many cases in which he had been consulted, particularly to cases or deafness and . paralytic and topical affec tions. He had no doubt whatever, but that it might in time be found applicable to many of the disorders and casualities incident to human life ;. he added, that in hie next ledure he should enlarge upon the connection between Galvanism and Chemistry. Having terminated his ledure, the company una nimously expressed their approbation, and many amused themselves by experiencing the :hock corn. wunicated by the eledric battery—but we believe frr• repeated it. It wis done by dipping the fiag:..rs into two glazes of muriar:c acid, comma ni:aring with the boxes by a piece of metal, and by the Lehrer immersing a piece of copper in the space tilled with, water between the plates• The wle.le frame was instantly benumbed, and the ef fe•it did nut immediately subside, but left a very un reasant sensation. The Company then departed.

DIVORCE. , ... , . am. Apr.a.p, , l '3ll.7RPtit : r . e • 1 The to:lmaging trial lately took place before tT Criminal Tribunal of the Seine, at Paris, of Truorteau, a grocer, 54 years of age, for the mur der of his datlghter by poison ; and of F. Chant Lavas-she's, aged V, as his accomplice. The ad of accusation stated, that Rosalie rrumean, aged. 25, died on the Ist Nivose, being poisoned by white arsenic ; that this unfortunate young woman, who had often been ill-treated by her father, was threat ened by him, some days before her death, that she should fall by his hands—a threat which was also made her by Chantal, a woman who lived in keep ing with Trumeau, and lately brought him a child, which he acialowledged for his own, a few days be fore the death of Rosalie ; that Trumeau, who pre sented in his house, under the eyes of his daughters, the youngest of whom is scarcely 16 years of age, the immoral example of an illicit union, authorised Chantal to beat and violently abuse his daughters;. that a younr man, who was to have been married to Mademoiselle Trumeau the same week she died, had been deluded by promises, which Trumeau did not intend to perform : that adernoiselle Tru meau had herself melancholy presentiments of her im pending fate; saying, a little before, that she was afraid of being poisoned, if she did not prepare her vii uals for herself: that, on the day before her death, she said to a young person, that her mar riage would soon take place if she desisted from all claims upon her property, and left her father the enjoyment of it during his life : that su.ne days be fore her death, Rosalie had a vicient scene with her father, oft account of her reproaching him with having made ;a-retirements for mortgaging their house : that Trumeau, from that time, spoke no • more to Rosalie, and refused her sometimes, when . she presented herself to bid him good morning, and 7 wished to embrace him : that on the eve of her death only, "Isruineau embraced his daughter when she'vras going to bed : that on the third night after • the death of Rosalie, Trumeau, torn with remorse, amidst the groans and tears that oppressed him, made a painful confession to Chantal, who was in bed with him ; that he sail, —.' Ah! what have I done! what have I done!. 0, ray Cod! what have I done !—I am a monster--I undone!—Ah! the wretched tea! the wretched tea !—lt was in the first spoonful of drink, and in the tea, that I poi soned my daughter!" • In the course of the proceedings, a circumstance 'occurred, foreign to the crime iii question, but ren dered remarkable by their similitude. It was re collected that in the year 2, Trumeau i:act at his house a niece of iii years of age, who died sud denly, on the 6th ThermWr or the s tale year, at two o'clock in the morhiag. The family sur geon was called, and arrived at ten o'clock.. Tru meau met him, and said that his neice was Aural dead and extended on the ground: The surgeon, having entered the chamber, SaW the corpse of the young girl on a bed; the limbs were in a state oft contradion, which made him think it was net a na tural death. In the course of the observations made to Trumeau on this sue jea, it was remarked that there were several contradidions, not only be tween the answers themselves, but also in those an swers compared with the declaration of the officer of health, who observed the limbs of the corpse so contraded as to announce a violent death. The witnesses were examined the next day, and on the day following the Tribunal condemned Trumeau to death, and ordered Chantal Lavar diere.to be discharged. It was remarked that, during the trial, the gro cer maintained an air of tranquillity, only from time to time he lifted. up his eves towards Heaven, or raised his hand, as if to wipe them. The female prisoner seemed much more agitated. 11 The deliberations of the French Legislative Body and the Tribunate, continue to be principally occu pied upon the different titles of the Civil Code sue. cessively laid before. them- by the French Govern ment. The title which - relates to the law of divorce came under discussion, on the 22c1. inst. in the Tri bunate ; and the various regulations upon this sub ject, which differ very little from the present praCtice in France, were ably combated by Citizen Cation- Nisat. His speech chiefly consisted of an illustrata tion of the following five. propositions:—" 1. That, in general, the laws favourable to divorce are ill adapted to the knowledge of the human heart, and the welfare of man in a social state. f 2.. That they are equally ill adapted to the prosperify and good order of empires:. 3: That all the gates-which have admitted - divorce into their legal system, have condemned it by the voice of public opinion and the spirit of their manw•rs. 4. Thtlt, in parti.. cular, now proposed is. in contradiCtion to• the spirit and existence of the laws held dearest by the French people, 5. That it is in •contradiaion with itself, and with the objet and avowed prin ciples of those who propose it."—Despairing, how ever, ,of procu:lng the adoption of a law prohibit- • ing •of divorce in all circumstances, Citizen Nisas proposed that the power ef• granting a complete dissolution of the marriage-tie should be exclusively vested in the Senate. 1 his proposition he enforces by observing, that in England, " where a grand national a& isnecessary to disunite the married.par ties, scarcely 200 divorces have taken place in the • course of ,two centuries; whereas in France, whcre this power is. lodged with the tribunals, there were, last year,,niore than' 1000 divorces in the city of Paris alone." The arguments of Citizen Nisas, though ultimately unavailing, seem to have pro duced a considerable impression on the Tribunate. The number of those who voted . in favour of the projeft•was 46, and. of its opponents 19 ; being a number contiattably larger than any which has yet - against the declared will of the First Con stl, since the commencement of the cliscussionaon the Civil Code. v The two British officers who were lately ordered away from Paris at a short notice, in cor.sequence of their free comparisons between French and En glish freeslom, laws, and Governors, were Colonel SwAttie and Colonel ROCHE. According to the new arrangement introduced by the Archduke CHARLES, there is to be in future in each province of the Austrian Monarchy, a Ge neral-• in Chief, who is not only invested with the command of all the trodps within his distriet, but also with all the powers necessary foNthe details of the Military Administration- ' f PRICE TIMM 13? nk Stock 3 per Cent Red. 3 per Cent.

Exiraa of a Lend- from a Gentleman in Ph;ladelthia, to hit Friend here, dated Fetruary 16, 1803. " Our news here are but of little importance to the inhabitants of Glasgow ; that which principally agitates the public mind at present is, the shutting the port of New Orleans, as a place of deposit to the Americans, and the cession of the Floridas by Spain to France. If this latter is completely car. ried into effe6t, which there is every reason to be lieve will be the case soon, it will be a heavy blow to the rising greatness of the Western States. The Government of this country has not energy enough to a 4.1 decisively: the seizure of New Orleans im mediately on the infraction of the Treaty, would .have been an easy matter, and war with Spain is what this country has not much to fear from ; but atter it has passed into the hands of France, it will be a more difficult matter, as a war with them, 1. fear, would be too much for America. Kentucky at present is quite in a ferment ; their .Train, for want of a market, is said to he rotting on their hands, and landholders must feel their property rapidly de cline in price. That State has presented some very spirited memorials to the gbner.rl Government, and look- anxiously to them for redrew : how this im. • portant affair will be settled, is with us at present only conjedlure."

It appeared in evi dence, that the mare and gelding were properly se cured in the stabla, on the night of the 1 . 9th instant, and on the morning following the stable was disco vered to have been broke open, and that both the mire and gelding were gone. Upon diligent en quiry being made, they were traced to Wheatley, where tae Prisoner wasovertaken riding the mare and leading the gelding, and secured. The Pri soner was committed forfarther examination. He said in his defence, he puxhased both, the same morning, at High WycoxnJe.
