CASK or THE SCMOONCK LAVKA AKR.
On the 15th December, 1809, the Laura-Ann
•ailed from the port of New York, loaded with
cotton, bound to St. Sebastians. Being d.sraas
ted in a gale of wind, she put into Lisbon on the
16th January last, to refit. When irady forsea,
the captain was notified ty Admiral Berkley that
mil the ports in Spain, frotn vjuyou to the French
coast, were, by ail order in council of the 24th
Ternary last, declared in a stale of rigorous
blockade. The Laura-Ann then proceeded for
tlieport of Tunningen. On the entrance of the
channel, and during her pussage, she was fre
«|fiently boarded, strictly examined by the Bri
tish cruisers, and suffered to puss. On the 24'.h
.April the Laura-Ann arrived in the Eyder, and
cn the 30th she reached Tonuingen.
• The Commissioners appointed hy the King of
JDenmarkto examine the papers of neutral ships,
Laving ordered the vessel away, in consequence
of having been,in the port of Lisbon, the Catira
Ann was forced to seek another port for the dis
charge of her cargo.—On tire 17th of May she
■adeii II will t mimii|>cu im itic jiuii »»■ -iauiivf, '
ui Swedish Pomerania On the 6lh June, then
in tire Baltic, she was brought too by the British i
frigate Pyrainus, commanded by captain Dash-1
■wood, in company with several other ships of war.!
Captain D boarded the Laura Ann himself, ex- |
•mined her papers, and not finding a British ti- ;
cence, demanded where it was ! Upon be ing !
informed that it was a paper which the Ameriuoi ]
government did n--t acknowledge; he i-eplied—i
** dbr>*- you know you have no light to trade with
•ny foreign power without first g« ing into Eng
land and paying your duties ? However” added
be, “ as at}, irs are in a good train brtween the
Iwo governments, 1 may as well let you go.” Cap
tain Dash wood then quitted the schooner; but
bad not proceeded far before he hailed from his
boat the sloop of war Prometheus, say ing, “ here
is an American who has been to L:sbo», Tonmn
Tgen and five or six more places, and now Wants
to go to Stralsund, and as many more. Take him
to the Minotaur ; tell captain Barrett 1 think him
• good prize. D.imn him ! be ought to be sent
in.' Send him in.’* The Prometheus sent her
boat to the Laura Ann, and took the captain on
board the Minotaur. A boat from the Mino
taur was sent to the Lnura-Ann, with a priue
master ana twelve men, and returjyd with the se
cond mate and ten men of the sclwoner, on board
the Minotaur. The captain of the Laura Ann
Mas then sent back to the schooner, and on the
day following the prize master received bis in
Structions to proceed lor London for adjudication
During the voyage the vessel experienced very
fieavy gales of wind ; slid, from the iguorauae
end unskilful management of the prize master,
Mas so strained as to make nearly five feet water
in the hold. On the 28 h June, (he Laura-Ann
arrived at Black wall (vessel and cargo in a most
deplorable state) and being libelled, was tried on
the 2d August, before Sir Wm Scott, who after
A very short slatehienl of the cause, restored the
Mhole property, ordering, however, the claimants
£o pay costs, “ Justice so requiring these are
the very words of Sir Wm. Scott
On taking possession of the vessel the captain
Called a survey, which was appointed at Lloyd’s
Collce House The surveyors reported that the
Schooner was much strained ; that the foremast
Mas sprung ; and that to repair the damages she
bad sustained, it was necessary to discharge the
cargo, which was done by this ordtr. On land
ing t e caig- it w s found in so damaged a state,
by reason of the s< a water in the vessel’s hold,
ns to render it not only Ulifii to be reshipped, but
lic-i-essarv to m-k rnm'-diate s.de of it on the best

(from THE LONDON MONTHLY MACAXEXB,
FOR APRIL, 1810.)
A correspondent of the Philosophical Jour
nal states, that camphor is contained in conside
rable proportion in the seed* ofcarraway : Ho
of seed yielding about 4 ounces of oil, and A an
ounce of camphor.
CERMANV.
The catalogue ol bo ik* which appeared at the
•*st Easter fair at Leipsic, includes in the whole 1
two thousand articles, among which are one
hundred and twenty eight novels, fifty theatrical
pieces, and between three and four hundred
translations
A Genhan author, in a rfcork lately published,
states the following curious fact : — A person
having an artificial magnet suspended from tlie
wall of his study,with a piece ot iron adhering to ,
it, remarked, for Several years, that the flies in !
the room, though tli-y freemen! ly alighted oh V> !
tlier iron articles, never settled on the artificial i
magnet; and even that, if any of those ns. fcts «p
proachtd it, they again in a moment removed to !
some distance. “ It is Worth the trouble,'*1
says professor Voigt, who repeats this circum- •
stance m his journal, “ to make further obser- j
^ktioiis on this pht*nompnon • were it con *
firmed, magnetised iron might he employed to I
preserve it from being soiled by flieS, fa perhaps j
also tor other purposes,”
M. I-amfauius, of Freiberg, has discovered
a method of condensing vapours in distillation,
more rapidly than has yet been done. This is
accomplished by means ofa disk, attached to the
tube of the still, which has the figure of a lens
llhttened as much as possible, St is made of cop
per. It produces a much better effect than
the worms hitherto employed far that purpose.
M Gbitnbr has, by the aidof various sub
stances, extracted from the green shells ofhorse
chesnuts very beautiful y< How- and brown rn
lors, and the latter in the diversity of hues. They
are found to stand both on woollens and silk?
though the stuffs have bceu wetted an-’, wrung
out, and some of them even washed in caustic
liquids.
^uhuroFRER MEERts, organ builder, at
GuUeshuhrei, in Westphalia, has invented a
loom, which perforins all the operations of itself.
Without, the intervention or the weaver, it rets
the treadles in motion, throws the shuttle, and
stops it at the opposite side ; loosens the web,
when a certain portion is finished, and winds
• the cloth upon the axle. Every thing is kept in
i proper order * and the piece of stuff when fin
ished, is smoothed. An index, attached to the
maclnnv, shows at any time the number of ells
that are woven. This machine has as yet only
l been exhibited on a small scale to connois
teurs, and has obtained the highest approba
tion. , r
j Many ladies of Munich have learned to knit
without needles. The inventor of this art is ivi
iNellisen, a native of the county of Limbu g
who teaches it hiiRselt in the Havanan capital._
It is, however, yet very imperfect ; as, by this
method, they can only knit breadthwise, and
; not circuhf'ly
i We have already noticed the experiments of
M Df.geat, of Vienna, to raise huhself mto the
air As Ins weight exceeded the power of the
machinery with which he effected this, by thir
ty-four pounds, he conceived toe >d«. a of combi
ning with it an air balloon, imag omg that by
means ot the >alter, he could be supported in
the air, and at the same time have it sufficiently
j under his command. The experiments which
j he made with it, towards the conclusion of last
. r^ar, in the Prater, belore u numerous company
were completely successtul He flew at plea
sure in all directions ; raise d and lowered him
self; and the balloon followed him spontaneous
ly which ever way heturhed The diameter of
the latter was nineteen feet five inenes After
deducting the weight of Degen and his flying
machine, the balloon poss ssed a power equal to
thirty f wnpnnn/Jo 1
The successes of the French armies, and their
long residence in Germany, have procured them
an advantage which they fonnerly dispensed
with in their vict ries, but oi which they will
not fa 1 to avail themselves in their future military
entcrpiiz a. They have put them in possession
of a map of Germany, surpassing all its prede
cesfeors in perfection and accuracy. Hanover’ |
was surveyed by Epaillu, thief dt batailUn, im
mediately after its occupation by the corps of
Mortier. In Brandenburg & Silesia,the French
had two year’s time to collect the requisite topo- j
graphical inform >tion ; and it is not improbable, 1
that the beautiful maps of several provinces,
drawn up by order of the Prussian government,
hvae fallen into their hands} as their entrance
into Berlin was so sudden, that a great quantity
ot important papers and valuable effects could not
uc nt^iCLcu. oaxony caused a portion ot its
states to be surveyed every year ; at the request
of the French government, the work has been for
some years accelerated ; &lhe court of Dresden
lias made such communications as were Required.
It is believed,that the same hts been done.byDen
inark, in regard to the duchy of Holstein, and
perhaps of the whole Cimbrim peninsula. The
French government !ias caused not only the nor
thernm< « provinces of Germany to the North
Sea and Bailie, hut likewise the counties ol Stol
berg, and the duchies of Weimar, Coburg, Me
inungen Hihlourgbausen, Ike. to be surveyed by
engineers. It probably possesses fewer materi
als of the former circle of Fra»>onia : but it is
possible that the grand dake of Wirtzburg may
have furnished information, to extend the tim
graphical knowledge of those countries_-Of
.Swabia and Upper Anuria, the geographical
bureau at Paris has a beautiful manuscript map.
Bavaria has been surveyed tor some time j and
.he map of the Tyrol is already engraved and
sold ai Pal is. In respect to Austria alone, the
"rate*1. Is -re perhaps rather scunty, as the French
haw em ined there too short a time to undertake
extensive measurements. It is concluded, that
this large and complete mnp will lie given to the
pubi c, from the < ire umstanee that Suabia lias
already been engraved at Palis.
A remarkably large parabolic lens was recent
ly purchased at Vienna, for the French govern
ment. It was made at Gn»tz, in Slyria, by Hos
(line, a celebrated mechanist, • for some alcbu
mists It wbj not cast, but • ifte »<fd by lie* . an
bent over a parabolic mould Several pieces
were broken before he succeeded: so that it
cost originally from 800 to 1200 guineas. It is
three feet three in'-.hes in diameter, and of eight
feet four inches focus | composed of t wo pieces
of glass united togeih* r by »n iron hoop ; so as
to form aholl >w vessel, cap ible of holding eighty
or nihety quarts of spirit of wine. M Jac^uin,
of Vienna, and several men of science, who wit
nessed the experiments, declare, that it burned
a diamond in a few' seconds, and fused platitia in
a few minutes. A button of platitia, weighing
twenty nine grain?, was melted by it, and made
in part to boil. The diameter of the focus does
not appear to exceed four lino. It weighs 55Ulbs. I

A very simple contrivance has been invented
by M• Faubom, for transforming any good com
m >n b lance into an hydrostatic balance, it is a
moveable column, which, being placed in a ves
ael proper fer the purpose, beneath any balance
whatever, provided it be exact, renders it capa

M. Gokxatti ha* discovered a liquid which
instantaneously extinguishes fire. Tile following
experiments wore publicly made with it at Ven
ice. Some resin and oil were set fire to, and
acarcely had a few drops of this liquid been pour
ed on the flame, when it immediately disappear
ed, leaving behind not the leasttrace >f fn»>._
Billets of wood, besmeared with pitch and resin,
and afterwards dipped in this liquid, resisted the
action of the hottest fire, to which they wore ex
posed for several hours The inventor affirms,
that a few applications of this comnositnin to
wood work would preserve it from all danger
offiro. Ho has not thought fit to publish the
manner in which this composition is prepared ;
but it :s prohab\p that a solution of alum, pot ash,
and vitriol, is one ofthe ingredients.

A ed from Mr James Smith, about, the niii'*
<lle of May last, a slave, named SAM, who had
been employed for severs! years past iu that gen
tleman's Bake-House.
I S A • is about t wenty four or five years of agft,
! low of stature, and not very buiky ; of youthful
; appiiarar.ee, a dark complexion, a countenance
with an incessant smile, approaching to a grin,
and thereby discovers a fine set of teeth, wtreb
he is not a little fond of shewing. He is slow of
speech, and when spoken to su Idculy or quick
ly, stammers and hesitates exceedingly.—His
j mothes not recollected.
So ne time in 'Vugust last, a note was given
j trim by the SuoscriSer, (who then wished u> dis
j pose ut him,) to look out for a purchaser——It
j merely purported tin* terms" to any person re
siding in Richmond, or it’s neighbourhood —
I And as he has tin note still in possession, he
will probably, under pretence of seeding u mas
ter, endeavor thereby to effect his escape out of
the State.
All masters Of vessels anti others are, there
fore, forbid, at their peril, harboring or carryin1*1
him off' ‘ °
The above '*«*ward will be given, and all rea
