_ Th« Convention met at this plice on YVecI
nesday list the 22d inst. and waited on the
governor, who accepted in toto the code
prepared by them for the tuture government
of the colony. -
Thus has terminated the revolution in
West Florida—-a reform effected without
tumult and without bloodshed. Perhaps so
■omplete a triumph was never gained by a
people over their prejudices, without disor
der. The province is yet governed in the
name of the bpanish Monarchy—governor
De Lassus is continued governor, with asa
lary of 8 3000 per annum. Courts of Jus
tice are established as aearly similar to
those of the United States as the nature
of the Spanish law will permit— ■ a
military system is established——a
iand..office opened—the admission of aliens
regulated—deserters from the service of
the states in amity with this province, pro
hibi'ed from settling, and when taken, to
be delivered on demand to any officer of the
Country from which they have deserted.—
A printing press authorised to be under the
direction of the superior court. These form
the principal features of the reform effected
by the convention.
The convention will adjourn in a few days
to meet again on the 2d Monday in Novem

# WEST FLORIDA.
One of the Editors of this paper has just re
turned from attending a meeting of the West
Florida Convention, which adjourned on the 29th
ultimo, to meet again at St John's Plains, oil the
ftat Monday in November next. Before adjourn
ing, the Governor had sanctioned all their pro
ceedings, which was announced by the following
proclamation :
- To the Inhabitants of the Jurisdiction of Baton
Rouge.
** His excellency Charles Deliault Delassus,
Colonel of Royal Armies, and Governor Civil &
Military, of the place and jurisdiction of Raton
JRouge, with the Representatives of the people
of the said jurisdiction, in Convention assembled,
amnounce that the measures proposed to be adop
ted for the public safety, and for the belter ad
Sninistration of justice within the said jurisdicti
on, are sanctioned and established as ordinances,
to have the force and authority of law, within
the several districts of this jurisdiction, until the
•»me be submitted to the Captain General of the
Island of Cuba, and until bis decision thereon
shall be known—the said ordinances will be
made known in each district, with all possible
tlispatcb, and in mean time, all the good people
ot thisjurisdiction are required to preserve good
order, and avoid every movement which may dis
turh the public tranquility ; it being the only
"wish of the Governor and the Representatives,
to consult the best interests of the inhabitants —
And although it is not intended to mark with se
verity the authors of fhe disorder, which has ap
peared in several parts of the country for aomc
time past,>et all aucb persons as may be found
offending in that manner, after this date, will be
punished with the severity which the law pre.
Scribes, and which their oflvnces may deserve.

The utmost harmony appeared to exist between
the Governor and Convention, and it was believ
ed by the most enlightened part of the commu
nity, that the new arrangement would have a sa
lutary effect in preserving tranquility and promo
ting the prosperity of the province. One wise
’gfteasure is the authorising a Printing Office at
Slaton Rouge, under the sanction of the Superior
Court.
We offer the following resolution, which will
show that the Convention have had some regard
ior the wellare of their constituents, in guard
ing them against the abominable curse of Em
piricism :
“ PetolveJ, That all the physicians and sur
geons now residing and exercising their profes
sions, with the permission of government, with
in this jurisdiction, be formed into a Medical
Society, with permission to assemble, from time
to time, for the purpose of debating on subjects
relating to their professions, and of communi
oating to each other such interesting cases as
anay occur in practice. The said society shall
J&old their first meeting at St Francwville, on the
^rst day of October next, any six or more ol
them to form a society at the said first meeting;
and they shall meet afterwards on their own ad
journments. They shall have power to form
*uch bye-laws for the government of the socie
ty, as to them may scein fit and expedient, not
iBconsiateut with any of the general laws of the
country ; and they shall form a bill of rates foi
medical and surgical services, which they shall
make public, without unnecessary delay; and
the same shall thereafter be recognised by the
tribunals of justice within this jurisdiction, as
the established rules of die country for such ser
vices.
, “ Bcsolved, That the said Medical Society be
authorised and required to choose annually three
or more of their members, to form a committee
for th» purpose of examining ail persons who
may hereafter come within this jurisdiction,
-wiUi a View of exercising the profession of Me
dicine or SuVgery, or any branch thereof, and ol
granting licences to such as they tmy find'suf

Society: and any person who shall be found ex

On Sunday, the 26.h ult. the Convention of
Florida, gave the gov:-, a spl-ndid dinner. Which
was considered a dinner of union b.-lwcen the
King and the Convention.
MASS HaUowsu, September 20- On
Monday evening, Aug. 27, David Sewall, esq. of
' this town, agent for certain proprietors of town
ships between this and Penobscot, was most vio
lently assaulted at a house in the plantation of
Green, five miles west of Belfast, by a number of
armed mep in disguise, two of whom entered the
room where he was sitting, and forcibly dragged
him out ofthe house All attempts made to as
sist him were prevented, as the house wu sur
rounded by the party Mr. S- was Carried to the
distance <»f one or two miles, his clothes entirely '
torn ofl', and his body bruised in a savage manner
A Mow was received on the head while exerting
to disengage himself at the door, and a deep Cut I
made in his face very near the eye. Alter they
had. satiated their vengeance, he was placed on a j
horse, and Tarried back to the lioust, senseless. I
During that night and the succeeding day, his i
life was thought to be in ''miger, but every pr»s i
a ble assistance being rendered, we have the sa
tisfaction to say that he is now on the recovery
Surprising extrication of Imfiimmadie Air—
Nearone of the sources ofLickoigriver.i l Ken
tucky, there is a great separation of Phlogistic
gas from something in the interior strata of
the earth, in a greater quantity than is known
perhaps in any other part of the known world._
This light and inflammable find is discharged
through the atmosphere It bubbles incessantly
through the muddy pool, aboui *wo rods in diam
eter. The gas readily takes Hume on burn :.g
gun powder in it, or by the approach of any bla
zing body. The volume of it is so great, that a
man .yho approached near enough to snap a pis
tol in it which he held in his hand, was suddenly
enveloped in flames and sorely singe ! before he
could make his escape-When set on fire it
bums with remarkable splendor and vehemence,
not only for hours, but days and weeks in suc
cession, mounting to theheighth often or twelve
feet or more.
The relater of this was one of a party that vi
sited the place in an excursion thro’the woods —
He discovered after the inflammable air had been
on fire, four, six or eight hours, the water of the
pond was heated to an uncommon degree, and e.
mitted copious exhalations and the ebullition at
the spot through which the air ascended was
more vehement.
It was judged that if the flame had continued,
the water would have been made to boil and all
have been evaporated, and the surrounding space
would have heated anddried. And lastly, there
was reason to suppose that the succulent & car
bonic matter in the bottom of the pond would
have been put into a state of combustion.—From
the crater at the place through which the gas
rose and the evacuation of the surrounding
ground, it appeared a& if this had really happen
ed on some former occasion ; and for fear the like
might occur again the gentlemen of the party ex
ting-lushed the flanae-When once in a blaze
there seems to be no end to i» burning, but a
storm of wind and rain may put an end to it.'

» following definitions of Spanish words,
lately frequent in the newspapers, are taken from

Note.—There are in Estfamadura (Spnin) ttvo
kinds of sheep, called eetante, (stationary) and
trathumante, (travelling, or Merino ) A credi
table Spanish writer says, that, that province had
in the 16th century, more than thirty millions of
the former, and seven millions of the latter ; and
that like every thing else really valuable in the
peninsula, they had already diminished to less
than half that number, about the middle of the
last century So much fer the gold and silver
mines of South America
It is somewhat surprising that among the pa
triotic undertakings of our merchants, no one
should have thought of benefitting himself and
his country, by the importation of a number of
the famous Andalusian breed of horses ;_Cadiz
may probably yet offer an opportunity to repair
such an inadvertency to those who should feel in
clined to make so meritorious an experiment.

ADVERTISER.
i Reflected Friend,
From a conviction of the very great
' importance of the introduction of Merino
j Sheep into this country, 1 am very desirous
'that every obstacle towards spreading the
breed may be removed Amongst these ob
j stacks there is none that presents itself to
I the Farmer more formidable than dogs. 1
i understand that they may be prevented from
i making their depredations on this valuable
amnia!, by placing a Sheep.Bell round its
neck. The Bell should be of the best and
most sonorous kind. Dogs when they kill a
I sheep at e generally remarkably sly, and do
it in a vary secret manner, Tie noise of a
bell l am infovmod, will deter them front the
attack, especially of the sheep to wnich the
Bell is affixed. Fho experiment is not a
costly one and if . it answers the purpose
will prove of immense importance to the
Farmers. I am desirous that the informa,
tion, may, through the medium of thy ex,,
tensive circulating paper, be communicated
to them, and by giving it an insertion you
will oblige a

Ab» York, Qnto. 24, 1810,*
^he editor* tif the New-York Gazette
hare been furnished with the following cu
rious decisions, by capt. Balch, of the ship
Mars, from Copenhagen.
The ship Franklin, Adams, was taken or,
a voyage from Alicant to Stockholm, laden
with salt, on account of her owner, residing
in Portland The following is the sentence
of the prize court:
*• The records of the sentences pronovneed
in the prize court a- Copenhagen, establish
ed by Royal authority. «<:, the 29 h July, in
the year of our lord 1810, the prize court
was set aud held in the usual place iu this
city.”
The following was the case laid before
the court, viz.
ilenrlh, master of a privateer, m. Captain
Caleb Adams of the shipThe Fiankllu.
The following is the sentence pronoun
ced —
•* In the present case, it is fully proved,
that the ship in question, 7he Franklin, is
employed in an expedition for, and con
nected with the enemy, in a manner to
tally forbidden by that government, un
der whose protection she now seeks shel
ter.
. She is consequently to be condemned,
and the sentence to be pronounced :n favor
of Heorth and Jensen ; as to the depositions
ot both it must be allowed that the ship
struck to them both ; the circumstance of
HeorttPs boarding her a few minutes earli
er, cannot be reflected upon, consequently
we judge t« lie right, that the ship ■ in qnes
tion’. The -Franklin, captain Culeo Ad.i al
together with her cargo, is hereby sentenced
, as a good* and lawful prize, to belong to the
: captors Heorth and' Jensen; the exper.ces
before the court of justice, to be defrayed out
of the ship and her cargo.”
“ The ship Unicorn, captain Frazier, be
longing to Baltimore, and on her first voy
age, was taken by four privateers, after she
had paid her Sound dues. This ship was
laden with cotton and rice,'-n account of her
owner, resident meichant of that-place ; —
whence she was direct and bound for Kud
in removing the sails, after capture; CM K
grain of Coffee was found, 'Uhich to there*,
honest privateers was confirmation strong
that part of the cargo consisted of hat arti
cle, and of consequence established this im
portant fact upon oath, and petitioned the
churt for an order to haul the ship into dock
I for examination. A singular coincidence of
I their honors brought forth the order; the
i ship was discharged, and her ballast cate
fully overhauled; but to their mortification
no coffee was found. Whereupon the fol
I lowing sentence was pronounced on the
29 h July, the formal part as in the Frank
j fin’s.”
Ronne, master of a firivateer, and oilier
fiersons. vs. Cafit. Frazier, of the shift
Unicorn.
SENTENCE.
w e cannot but pronounce the release of
the ship I he Unicorn, 8c her cargo, but not
being provided with the necessary documents
we cannot at the same time grant any in
demnification for her capture.
•'With regard to the supercargo who
was on board, no proper documents were
al/egcd, nor does the receipt for the cus
toms paid, mention wherein the cargo
consists.
% “ Consequently, we do not consider Capt.
Brazier entitled to obtain any indcmrnficHii
on tor the capture, whereas, on the contrary
the expences before the court of justice are
tobe defrayed out of the ship. Theexpen
1 ces of the unloading of the cargo (for which
1 there existed no degree of probability ten
ding to the illustration of the case) are, on
the contrary, to be paid by the captors:—
consequently we judge to be right, the ship
in question, The Unicorn, Captain Frazier,
with her cargo, is hereby released, save,
however, that the expences before the snurt
of justice are to be defrayed out of the ship
(the expences on the contrary, attending
unloading of the cargo to be cxemp.cd)
further is to be paid to R. Ronne, Corfex
Neilson, Anderson, Bodfn. r and Carson,
300 rix dollars: whereas on the contrary,
t.he said privateers within the sp \ce of 14
days after the lawful annunciation of this
sentence, are to have shipped the said goods
, into the said ship, forfeiting a penalty of
200 rix dollars to the poor of this city, and
; an equal sutn to captain Frazier, for every
'day the orders of this sentence be not comnli
ed with.” 1

Owing to the failures experienced in London
and oilier parts of the Kingdom, and die im
mens* arrivals we have had ol late, markets for
almost all s >i ts of American produce hare been
much depressed ; cotton lias come forward in
much larger quantities than it was possible to
calculate on ; added to lie distiessing times
likely to be expeiicnced in the Tnaiiufocturing
towns, in consequence of the lailu.i a shove no
ted, this aiticle has fallen to low rates, and should
large supplies continue to arrive, prices are ex
peeled to he still lower. This depression was
anticipated in ours of the lJih ult. and the pros

gloomy: the speculator's means are exhausted,
and the quantity more than the trade can take

it is therefore impossible to anticipate wnat will
