A CONCISE REVIEW
OF SOME OF THE DISCOVERIES AND IMPROVEMENTS made or published in America during the last twelve months ending November 1, 1802.
UNDER THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
Mr. Ellicot the Geographer of the U. States, has added materially to the knowledge of our Southern frontier, by the Survey he has made of the territorial line between Georgia and the Floridas. He has also ascertained by Astronomical calculations, the latitudes of several important stations. Among these are those of the Natchez, New Orleans and Conflux of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. These terrestrial and celestial observations have added considerably to our geographical knowledge.
The care of the Government has been extended to the wretched condition of American seamen, dying unfriended and unassisted at New Orleans. Mr. Jones and Mr. Bay had represented to the Secretary of State, how forlorn was the situation of the boatmen from the Ohio as well as of the sailors from the Atlantic Coast. To provide relief was an early and earnest object of the administration. And measures were immediately adopted to erect an hospital for the accommodation of American seamen at New Orleans, and to obtain leave of the Spanish Government for the purpose.
Under the presidency of Mr. Adams and pursuant to a resolve of congress, Mr. Richard Cooper was appointed to explore the region south of Lake Superior, where Copper-mines are alleged to be. The agent was instructed to make his survey and report before the end of the ensuing session of the National Legislature. But, the expedition having been delayed, until the time prescribed had expired, Mr. Lincoln the attorney general directed the agent to stay his proceedings and account to the treasury for the money advanced for the service. The reason given for this step by president Jefferson was, "that he did not deem it justifiable to commence a course of expenditure after "the expiration of the resolution authorizing it."
The provision for piers in the Delaware, light-houses and buoys in Long Island sound, and on other parts of the American coast, demonstrates the vigilance displayed by Congress in providing for the safety of navigation and attending to the interest of our merchants.
BY THE STATES, AND COMPANIES AUTHORIZED BY THEM.
Commerce has reason to rejoice that more correct ideas are entertained than formerly, about quarantines and maritime restraints. Congress having left the particular port regulations about health laws to the state legislatures and municipalities of cities respectively, each has adopted such mode of counteracting sickness as it has judged proper. After the conclusive reasonings of Mr. Webster against the prevailing notions on importing diseases, and enforcing quarantines to keep them out, the citizens of the United States are becoming satisfied, as rapidly as can be expected, of their unreasonable absurdity. They are opening their eyes to the alarming loss and damage, by detention at quarantine. They are becoming convinced that the true cause of the distempers usually ascribed to importation is engendered on shipboard; and that the state of health at the place whence the vessel last sailed has little or nothing to do in the business. Experience has amply shown them that when ships are kept as clear as genteel houses are, and scoured and cleaned by the same methods, that there is as remarkable an exemption of sickness within them as on shore. And the conviction is gaining strength every day, that as malignant fever and distempers deemed hitherto contagious are not caught or brought from foreign countries, but really spring from their proper causes introduced and accumulated on board during the voyage, that the direct application of remedies, antidotes and preventions ought to be to the nuisances and poison there engendered, lurking in her bottom and sides.
When these facts are fully understood, the whole of the formidable business of quarantine, arrayed in all its superstitious errors, will be reduced to its plain and obvious meaning, which is neither more nor less than the cleansing a nasty ship, and the same modes that are universally practised by our servants to purify nasty houses. The consequence of which conviction is,
that the term of quarantine, instead of lasting, by an arbitrary and preposterous mandate, four or forty days, will be shortened to as many hours, or to the mere time that shall be necessary to scrape off her dirt, wash her down with ley, pump her out a few times, white-wash with lime, and give her a good ventilation. In America there is the greatest progress making in these wholesome and necessary reforms, and her citizens will have the honor of unshackling trade and navigation from the shackles which have burthened them ever since the time of the crusades in the eleventh century. A number of health officers, with an intelligence and decision that does them great honor, already act upon this modern principle, and relieve the merchants from the oppression of a fanatical and barbarous body of regulations, not a whit better adapted to the present state of commerce and society than the tenures of lands in grand serjeanty and in villenage. The beneficial consequences of such excellent modes of doing business, cannot fail to produce a proper effect upon the public mind.
The legislature of Pennsylvania has received a communication on the virtues of a species of chick weed, to prevent the the dreadful distemper occasioned by the bite of a mad dog or other rabid animal. If this turns out on trial, to be equal to the recommendation given of it, mankind will have reason to rejoice in the discovery of a remedy for one of the most shocking of all diseases.
Connecticut has distinguished itself for the number and excellence of its turn-pike roads. The great advantage derived from these improvements are becoming more rapidly and generally known and acknowledged. The citizens feel and approve the additional convenience, speed, economy and safety which they afford to all sorts of travellers and passengers.
New York is scarcely behind Connecticut in the spirit of amendment with regard to roads. From Albany, Troy and Lansingburg as central points at the head of navigation, they extend east, west, north and south; facilitating intercourse with the remotest part of the commonwealth as it is washed by lake Champlain and lakes Ontario and Erie. From Hudson also turnpike roads are established to the western parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts on one side of the North river, and are opening towards Schoharie, Cherry Valley and the great western country, on the other. From Poughkeepsie likewise, these admirable roads are branching in various directions. With pleasure the public has lamented that the impediments to the passage of boats between Troy and Lansingburg are removed; and that the bridge & causeway from Flushing to New Town are passable.
Virginia has completed the work in which she and Maryland have been for a number of years engaged, in rendering the great falls of the Potomack passable by boats loaded with produce, and stock. This noble and important enterprize must give a new spring to the agriculture and commerce of the upper & interior country. What effect it may work upon the city of Washington is problematical; but there can be no rational doubt that the established marts of Georgetown and Alexandria will be greatly the gainers by it.
By the enterprize of individuals.
Mr. Lossings Improvements in the burning of Lime are highly worthy of being understood and adopted. Much of the closeness and stability of houses depends upon the due preparation of the lime with which they are cemented. And the quality of half burned and faulty lime brought to market calls earnestly for a corrective.
Few men have displayed more mechanical ingenuity than Mr. Bruff. His instrument for extracting teeth in a perpendicular direction is an useful invention. And considering how frequent that operation is, it is a pity that is not more generally known to Dentists, Surgeons, and other operators in that way.
Mr. Stillwell's Smut Cone, for cleaning wheat is well worthy the attention of millers. When we consider the great importance of our exported flour, it becomes immediately apparent, that every machine which can rid the grain of its impurity, must be serviceable. It may therefore be hoped that this invention will be found to be a good addition to the German fan, and the rolling screen; and co-operate with the elevator, the hopper boy and other excellent machinery of Mr. Evans.
Col. Alexander Anderson's improvement in distilling was deemed so considerable as to attract the attention of govern-
ment, a little before the repeal of the internal taxes. An account of this was given by Mr. Graeff, collector of the revenue at Lancaster to Gen. P. Muhlenberg, supervisor of Pennsylvania district, and by him transmitted to Mr. Miller, commissioner of the revenue. Having been by this latter office laid before the Secretary of the Treasury, it was by him submitted to Congress. The superior advantages of this mode of distilling would probably have rendered it necessary for the excise to have been laid not merely upon the capacity of the still, but upon the quantity distilled. Also, Mr. Michael Krafft is reported to have made great improvements in distilling, whereby there is a remarkable saving in fuel and labour; and the spirit is increased in quantity and equal in quality to that procured by the old mode.
Baron Carondelet has made a number of experiments upon the Platina lately brought from the mines of Chaco, far up the river Magdalena, in Terra Firma. Three hundred pounds of this rare and singular metal have been exhibited in New York; and Baron Carondelet has succeeded in refining and melting a portion of it.
Gypsum continues to do wonders in American agriculture. So cheap and powerful a manure has given a spring to farming, beyond any thing ever known. But its beneficial effects are almost entirely limited to the interior country. On the Seacoast and islands, it does very little service. It has become a general article of export from the Bay of Fundy; but our cultivation can well afford to pay for it, with their increased crops. It is of such an unspeakable benefit to our husbandry, that all the landings on the Hudson between New York, and Albany, are loaded with pile masses of it.
The Whale Fishery, on the South side of Long Island has considerably increased. Latterly it had been very much neglected. But last winter, a number of whales were caught and killed by the inhabitants, who attacked them in boats, launched from the shore.
Dr. Woodhouse has published some very decisive and striking experiments on the function ascribed to vegetables, of recruiting the atmosphere with supplies of oxygenous or vital air. He denies that they possess such a function in the manner that has been ascribed to them, they do not necessarily nor always afford pure air when exposed to sunshine, but on the contrary, afford it only occasionally. And when this is the case, the vital air is not a secretion from their leaves, as has been taught for twenty years past, but a mere extrication of its oxygene from the fixed air, which plants decompose for the sake of its carbon to be added to their food and nourishment. These experiments are directly opposed to a very fashionable and celebrated doctrine.
The introduction of Spanish sheep into the United States by our two foreign ministers, Humphries and Livingston, reflects much honour on the enterprize and patriotism of those gentlemen. It is sincerely to be hoped that their enterprize will be attended with success; but in a country where it is the established fashion to feed upon the sucklings of the flock, and send the best lambs to the butcher, there is reason to fear that the offspring of the merinos may be doomed to premature death with as little compunction as our ordinary breed.
The Kinepock is gaining more and more spread and credit in America. Dr. Waterhouse in Boston, Dr. Seaman in New York, Dr. Coke in Philadelphia, Dr. Spence in Virginia, and D. Gantt in Maryland, have distinguished themselves very honourably in introducing and propagating this mild substitute for the small pox. In New York there is a regular association of gentlemen to diffuse the benefits of it among the less wealthy part of the citizens; and a house has been built by them on a piece of ground granted by the common council of the city, for the purpose of holding their meetings, and receiving patients. The vaccine poison has been discovered on the teats of American cows in several instances.
From Playfair's Statistical Breviary.
STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF FRANCE
Before the Revolution.
Originally, the freest nation in Europe, France gradually suffered its liberties to be absorbed in royal prerogative, and the states general, a constitutional legislative
power, intended as a control on the executive power, had long been dispensed with, so that the government ended in absolute monarchy. The parliament of Paris, which was only a court of justice under color of opposing royal prerogative, had often attempted to become, and affected to consider itself as the guardian of the people and of representing the states general; but all their efforts against the royal power only terminated in its more firm establishment, until the last effort, which overthrew it entirely.
The French are violent, quick, generous, and enthusiastic; but cold deliberation, a sense of justice, and an attentive regard to maxims of prudence are necessary in either a republican or mixed government. In all the assemblies of the states general, previous to 1789, the impatience of some, and the enthusiasm of others, enabled the court to triumph. In the last meeting, when the current of public opinion set in another direction, it was with a violence that nothing could resist, and the monarchy was speedily swept away, together with every institution attached to it.
The power of the many was the first substitute for the power of the few; but this is a despotism in which there is no justice, no safety, no protection, which has in all times been short-lived, and individual tyrants have started up and governed in its name.
Several such have governed in France, with great severity until at last a general of uncommon personal merit and abilities, has ventured to ameliorate the state of the people, and to govern with mildness and moderation. How it will be when the course of events puts the reins of government into feeble hands, is very uncertain; but it is to be hoped, for the sake of humanity, that experience will reach moderation, & moderation set bounds for enthusiasm.

There is not a more fruitful country than France—but there are few mines of any sort in it, consequently the exports consist chiefly of wines, fruits and manufactures of a finer kind, for which the nation is famous; giving in general the law in matters of taste and fashion to all the nations of Europe.
ANECDOTE.
An honest tar hired a horse to carry him a few miles, but before he had gone many yards, he found he possessed the usual excellencies of blindness, lameness, stumbling, &c. The sailor, however (having been unshipped twice with very little ceremony in the length of half a mile, by the creature's falling on its knees) hit upon a very whimsical mode of curing the impediment, which was by tying a large stone to the tail, and in that state rode it several miles, swearing, sover his timbers, but it was the only thing to prevent the ship's going too much ahead.
A Gentleman was lately asked for a description of a lady to whom he was paying his addresses; her charms (he said) might be described in six-fuls, namely she was beauti-ful, duti-ful, grace-ful, play-ful, lanci-ful, and care-ful.

IMPORTANT.
A letter from New Orleans, dated the 19th October, to a respectable merchant of this city—states, that on the afternoon of that day a proclamation was posted up by order of the intendant, closing the port not merely against the entrance of produce from the Atlantic in American vessels but also against ALL PRODUCE FLOAT- ED DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI. This measure had created great consternation
among the American merchants there, who had expedited an express by the Char- lotte to bring a copy of the order for the information of government, and of our merchants generally. It was even doubt- ful whether goods deposited would be suf- fered to be exported in American bottoms, but sugar had positively been prohibited. (Balt. Pap.)
From the London Courier of October 2.
The troops of the Helvetic republic have been defeated under the walls of Berne. A Convention was entered into on the 18th ult. between the gov't of that re- public and the troops of the opposite party, in which it was agreed by the latter, that the powers composing, and employed un- der the former, together with the troops of the government, should be allowed to leave Berne unmolested, and retire to Lausanne. The ministers from foreign powers to the Helvetic Republic are to re- main under the guarantee of the rights of nations, and to be furnished with facili- ties to proceed wherever they may judge it suitable. Hostages were reciprocally given for the due performance of the ar- ticles of the convention.
The Helvetic government, with the French minister, arrived at Lausanne on the 20th ult. The Helvetic troops are to assemble at Morut, Payerne, and the en- virois. Orders are given to raise a com- pany of Volunteers in each district, and to bring into service all the artillery and a company of dragoons.
The towns of Arau and Soleure have been taken possession of by the insurgents.
Previous to the capitulation of Berne Citizen Verniac, the French minister, wished to quit that city, and return to Paris; but at the instance of several mem- bers of the government, he consented to remain in Switzerland.
It is stated in a letter from Basle; that the French government has detached 12,000 men to restore tranquility in Swit- zerland.
Our private correspondence from Paris, has, this day, enabled us to remedy, by a communication of some importance, the deficiencies of the French papers, which are again nearly silent, as to events pass- ing in France. A conspiracy of an ex- tensive nature, and which though suppress- ed, would excite considerable alarm, if the government did not almost disavow the knowledge of it, has been discovered at Rennes, the former capital of Brittany. The new Prefect of that city and its de- partment, was, it seems, informed, soon after his arrival, that a Jacobin plot, for the restoration of the constitution of 1793, was in existence; and that not, as might be supposed, amongst a few obscure, or proscribed individuals, but amongst per- sons in considerable stations—the com- mander of the garrison of the place and several of his officers. According to our correspondent, this magistrate had the ac- curacy of the information, immediately proved to him, when he ordered the com- mandant of the Gendarmerie to arrest the commandant of the garrison, the former refusing to obey him. He was then re- duced to the necessity of trying the fide- lity of the whole garrison at a general pa- rade; and even there his orders were re- ceived with hesitation, and even with a repetition of the refusal. The troops, however, beginning to divide into parties, and a majority probably appearing for the representative of the First Consul, the com- mandant was at length arrested, and is now in the temple at Paris.
Such are the circumstances, as they have reached our correspondent. Whether it be that they should be considered, chiefly, as an exaggeration of some dissention be- tween the officers of the garrison of Rennes or that the French government do not choose to have the public occupied with such affairs, the Paris papers do not con- tain a word upon the subject.
According to report, several changes are shortly to take place in the French mi- nistry. The marine and war departments are, it is said to be united, and confided to Lucien Bonaparte. Joseph Bonaparte, is to be minister of Foreign Affairs and the home department, which are also to be united, & Talleyrand Minister of Finance.
From a Bridge-Town (Barbados) paper. To all Printers of Newspapers in the West-India islands and America
WHEREAS William Forbes (second son of Mr. Forbes Mitchell, of Thainston, A- berdeenshire) at the 9th year of his age, entered the navy, on board his majesty's ship Southampton, then commanded by the honorable captain Forbes, (since de-
ceased) which ship he having quited, he was afterwards heard of from on board the Trent, in 1798. He quitted the latter at St. Thomas, and was supposed to have gone to St. Croix, since which he has ne- ver been heard of, nor left any clue by which he may be traced.
The said William Forbes (who may probably have adopted that of Mitchell, in addition to his own name, as being the lineal heir of the above estate of Thainston) is now in his twentieth year; and, as a discovery of his retreat is of the utmost importance, the printers in the several West- India islands, and in the states of America, are most earnestly intreated to let this ad- vertisement make its appearance in their several papers, and they will sincerely oblige a parent, anxious to hear of a son whom she has not seen since about two months before the death of his father; as through so many channels, it may have the good for- tune, at length, to fall into his own hands.
The Russian American Company conti- nues to give more and more extent to this branch of commerce, which, in time will undoubtedly become of importance to Rus- sia. It is now employed in a plan which is of the greatest consequence, not only to the trade, but also to the honor of Russia. It is going to fit out two ships, which are to sail from this place with a cargo of pro- visions, anchors, cables, rigging, &c. to go round the Southern extremity of Ame- rica, across the South Sea, to the North West Coast of America, and the Aleutian Islands, to supply the Russian establishment there with these necessaries; take in a cargo of furs to be bartered in China for Chinese goods, to make by the way an establishment at Urup, one of the most Southerly of the Kurile Islands, for the greater convenience of trade to Japan; and to return to China by the Cape of Good Hope.
The ships will be wholly manned with Russians, and the Emperor, who approves of the plan, has ordered that the best offi- cers and sailors of the navy shall be em- ployed in the expedition.
As this is the first voyage round the world undertaken by Russians, no pains are spared to assure to the expedition a hap- py result. The command of the ships is given to capt. Krumstern, who has been long in the E. Indies, and was the first proposer of the plan. For the information of the establishment at Urup, the company has engaged an Englishman residing here at an annual salary of 15,000 roubles, for three years, and a douceur of 20,000 roubles; he is also to superintend there the building of the necessary ships. Hi- therto all the above necessaries have been transported a vast way by land carriage, at an enormous expense to the company.
That no time may be lost, these two ships will be purchased at Hamburg, and will sail on their voyage from that port in October. (Ham. Paper)
