The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail
Stage will commence running as fol-
lows between Alexandria and Petersburg in
Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 6
o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries
by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 6
and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the
morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon)
and arrive at Richmond the next morning by
6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at
Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every
day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria
in the same time. This stage will carry no
more than 2 passengers on any account what-
ever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage
can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alex-
andria and Petersburg will also commence
running at the same time, every other day
throughout the year, without regard to Sun-
days, and will travel only in the day time.—
On this line it is the intention of the owners
to study the wishes and the convenience of
passengers. Still, however, regard must be
had to time—Going south from Alexandria
they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Staf-
ford Court-House, and lodge at Fredericks-
burg—The next day will breakfast at the
Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge
at Richmond. And on the third day will
breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at
Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house
and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morn-
ing, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling
Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next
morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house,
dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to re-
quest that passengers will be a moderate as
possible in the quantity of their baggage, as
any thing more than a small trunk or parcel
which will go within the body of the stage
will be an extra charge.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK.
" We have had frequent occasion to speak
of the diligence, good sense, and good inten-
tions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate
him sincerely on the success of this particular
work. We announce this edition, because the
alterations and additions are so considerable,
that it is rendered almost a new work."
British Critic, July 1801.
" The examples which Mr. Murray has here
selected, and the judicious reflections which
accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail
to make the best impressions, and to produce
the best effects, on all who read them with at-
ttention. The present edition of this excel-
lent publication, which has been long known
and commended, is enlarged by the addition
of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly
one hundred pages."
Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
" We have received the tenth and last edi-
tion of this valuable work. The improve-
ments made in it, will appear from the author's
advertisement. We can only add to this ac-
count of the present useful volume, our hope
that it will be extensively circulated among
our countrymen."
The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
" On reviewing this book, in its improved
form, we find the facts unquestionable and
highly interesting—the style correct and neat
—and the general tendency of the work such
as induces us strongly to recommend it, espe-
cially to young readers, who love entertain-
ment mingled with instruction."
Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
" The rapid sale of this small but valuable
collection, has anticipated the commendation
we are desirous to bestow. In an exempli-
cation of more than seventy remarkable char-
acters, many striking examples are exhibited
which, in the quiet hour of reflection, man
contribute to arrest the careless and wander-
ing; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and
to convince or discountenance those who have
been unhappily led to oppose the highest
truths."

The following original letter from Mr. Jefferson's old correspondent Mr. MAZZEI, was politely handed us by a gentleman of this place—to whom it was written does not appear, but we presume it must have been addressed to one of the members of the old Congress.—We have given publicity to it at this time, to show what opinion the author entertained of Mr. Madison, and thereby assist the squabbling democrats in fixing their opinion which of the rival candidates of their sect, it would be most advisable to support at the approaching Presidential Election.
COLLE, August 22d, 1778.
DEAR SIR,
I have deferred writing on the subject of our last transitory conversation for want of a safe opportunity, and am at last obliged to send this to Fredericksburg, desiring the favor of ***** to procure one there if possible, or trust it to the public post. The more I reflect upon it, the more I think it worth the attention of Congress. The Mediterranean sea is the first place for American trade. There will constantly be a much greater demand for our articles of exportation, than in all the rest of Europe; and it is chiefly from the several states of Italy and the south of France, that we are to import people and materials for the improvement of our country. I am of opinion, that our trade with the Pope's dominions, if put in a good channel, might soon be one of the most advantageous. They make a great consumption of our richest articles; government, as well as the general farmers, will be glad to have them in a direct line; and they must pay in cash. The balance of trade in that sea will be greatly in our favor; but I dread the contrary from the ocean, if we except Lisbon and Cadiz. The only, and great inconveniency in it will be the repugnance, which the masters of our vessels have to go within the straits, on account of the Saracens of the coast of Africa. Good policy requires, that we should carry on trade in our bottoms as much as possible; and to screen our vessels under the flag of a friendly power, after peace is restored, would be too precarious and dishonorable. A complement to the Grand Seigneur, from the American States, to notify him our independence, and desire of trading with his dominions, would certainly, if done early, gratify his ambition, and probably induce him to order those barbarians to respect our flag. I did some time ago wish to be sent to Europe in the most sanguine expectation of success in my endeavors to serve our country on several very important objects. One of them was to persuade the Grand Duke of Tuscany to use his influence over his brother and father-in-law, the kings of France and Spain, to induce them to delay no longer to take an active part with us. This is now out of the question; but the others, I think, could still be brought about in good time, though had it been done sooner, it would have been the better. If Congress would condescend to gratify my desire by sending me to Italy, from where I am confident that I can derive essential advantages to this continent with honor to myself, I would have no objection to undertake a journey to Constantinople, where I was once before in '54, and had opportunities, during six months residence, to inform myself with the method of managing affairs at that court, thro' my acquaintance with several European ambassadors, especially the Imperial, with whom I had travelled almost all the way from Vienna. Before you proceed I desire you will peruse the enclosed copy of a part of a letter I wrote a year ago to ***** and of a paragraph of his in answer to the same. I shall now mention some of the other objects I had then in view, and which I think still demand the attention of Congress.—1st. To contrive the means for suppressing our paper currency. 2d. To have, instead of articles of luxury, abundance of necessaries sent us on a plan, as to become more easy to the purchaser, and to avoid the heavy loss of our sailors taken by the enemy on trading vessels. 3d. To find out means to render our friendships and trade with the several states of Italy, especially with Tuscany, of real lasting mutual advantage; to which will greatly contribute the putting
them in the way of manufacturing such things, as the people here have been used to, which among other advantages will save this country from the reflection of giving again the preference in trade to our avaricious enemies. 4th. To import some manufacturers from a place, where the inhabitants follow no other trade, and who must know how and where to find easily and copiously the necessary ingredients, considering the immense quantity they make, and the low price they sell it at. 5th. To excite the spirit of emigration in people of noble, free sentiments, which must be the certain consequence of letting them see, that honors are impartially bestowed on settlers as well as natives, and of sending with me a person proper to give an advantageous idea of the natives of this new free country. Altho' I could point out many such, Mr. Madison is in my humble opinion the person exactly calculated for the purpose.—Affable, agreeable, modest, learned, sensible, virtuous, he would be the delight of all persons from the highest to the lowest, from the philosopher to the ignorant; and his mathematical knowledge joined to his other attributes would soon introduce him to the conversation and esteem of that amiable sovereign, whose friendship would be of more service to this country, than that of many princes of superior power, for reasons not proper to mention in a letter, which is even doubtful if it will come to your hands. Mr. Madison would likewise be a very proper person to bring about what I think could be of great service to the American youth for several years to come, and would give a great satisfaction to the grand duke, as he expressed, when I mentioned it in my conversations with that prince, on my intended emigration. I had already observed to him, that by what I knew of this country from Dr. —, Col. —, and Mr. —, the English were greatly misinformed, and especially those in power; that indeed both nations were mistaken as to the dispositions towards each other; that the sparks of freedom lately discovered in several parts of America, and in several instances, far from keeping government within bounds, as the Americans imagined, exactly suited the plan of the king, Lord Bute, and Lord Hillsborough; and after mentioning several anecdotes to demonstrate their intentions, I concluded with the probability of the grand revolution happening in as few years, as many people thought would require ages. I then observed, that his grant to me of the exportation of people and materials for the improvements of my new country, must produce in the inhabitants a desire of forcing trade with his dominions, notwithstanding the English prohibitory laws; and having translated to him a paragraph of Mr. Adams's letter to me, since his return to Virginia, I inferred from it the probability of the assembly undertaking the scheme I was about on a national scale; in which case they would find it necessary to send me back for the purpose of making proper and large collections in company with a native, a person of speculation, able to derive from that part of the world all the possible advantages to this country. Such a person, I said, would easily conceive the superiority of Pisa over any place in Great Britain for the education of American youth, as I have demonstrated to your royal highness, and if that should take place, it would fix the basis of a lasting advantageous mutual correspondence. In fact I recommended that place soon after my arrival in the country to col. *****, who then declared his inclination of sending there his children as soon as they were of age. That prince not only expressed his satisfaction at such an expectation in his countenance, but in clear words. He immediately said— Quello sarebbe molto bene —That would be very well. Pisa is a place of economy; furnished with all requisites to learn every branch of useful knowledge; convenient to Leghorn, but sufficiently distant from trade and luxury; and one of the best situations I ever saw. Alpha was the name in time of the antient Etrurians. No person, you well know, would, sooner than Mr. Madison, be able to judge of the propriety of the place, and to bring and send over an unprejudiced account of it. But to describe all the objects I have in view, and the reasons to show the propriety of such an errand, and the probability of success, would require too much time for me to write, and too great a patience for you to read. It would more properly be the subject of several long conversations. Col. *****, Col. *****, Mr. *****, Mr. *****, yourself, and all others who have seen my papers, and conversed with me on the subject, have owned both. All that could be opposed is the difficulty of success in most points, unless such as do not know me would go as far as to suppose in me a desire of seeing my native country and my old friends, and of doing my busi-
ness there at the public expence. But was it even the case, the trifling expence would be sufficiently compensated by giving an early proof that the natives of this country consider mankind at large to be their countrymen as soon as they become inhabitants of the same soil, and that they are divested of the very shadow of selfishness. The last adieu I gave Mr. *****, who left Europe a year before me, was as follows:— "Remember to use all your influence to prevent convicts being received among you; you are hereafter to expect from Europe the best part of mankind; go, and prepare an asylum for them." I own my ambition; I long to see my prophecy verified. I am confident that I could contribute to that, and to the obtaining other advantageous objects better than a native, but much better in company with a native, such as I have described, than by myself. A good specimen before their eyes in the beginning is a most material point. I will be obliged to you to deliver the inclosed to col. —, from whom you will receive Dr. —'s letter to me.—With my compliments to col. —, Mr. —, Mr. —, Mr. —, and all other good friends,
I am respectfully and sincerely,
Dear Sir,
Your most obed't humb. servant, PHILIP MAZZEI.

A CURIOSITY.
We annex an extract from the Havanna government paper, which the reader will think very strange. It would be un-candid were we to withhold our opinion, that it is probably not genuine. Yet from its publication in the manner in which it appeared at Havanna, it is evident, that it was there regarded as genuine, and that it has probably had a very injurious effect upon the public mind. Let us admit it to be a fabrication; still it is a specimen of the jealousies to which the nature of our conduct as regards foreign nations lends the appearance of plausibility. For it is not only through the positive improprieties of our government that we suffer; but by the sullen and inactive aspect we hold out, we invite others to misrepresent and wrong us. When our embargo is removed, as removed it must be, we may find the Spaniards our enemies; we may find our markets closed in other parts of the world; and we may find ourselves branded with a character of negative if not positive co-operation with Bonaparte, which it may be difficult to efface.
TRANSLATED
FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN,
From the Havanna Aurora Extraordinary of October 6, 1808.
Published with permission of the Superior government.
A friend of ours has favored us with the following manuscript copy of an article extracted from the Court Gazette published in London on the 11th of August.
"On the 9th arrived the dispatches, which were on their way to the United States of America, on board the French pilot-boat Ecurueil , captain Guideau , which was carried to Falmouth by the brig of war Gnat , captain Sewell , which capture and occurrences we published in our Gazette of the 3d. Among them much attention is due to the letter written by Talleyrand to the president of the American Congress, dated the 13th July, which is as follows:
"You will now know, citizen president, whether the measures taken in order that you might suspend at once all communication with the Spanish colonies, reducing them to the extreme of distress and misery, has conducted to your future interests. Already Spain has fallen into the power of the Great Napoleon, and his August Brother Joseph Napoleon, whom the Spaniards expect with anxiety and acclaim, is on his road to occupy that throne. In consequence the American Spaniards are about to break the yoke of an infatuated government, which not distinguishing its own interests, still less knows the way to make them prosper.
Two formidable empires, connected by indelible ties, will be formed in America.—That of the great Napoleon and that which the Anglo-Americans know how to form by their virtue and heroism, and which they will now enlarge. The emperor and king hopes that as soon as your government receives the first notice from his emissaries at your different adjacent possessions, you will fly with your successors, opening the ports at the time reciprocally, as will be done in those of Europe, in order that the feigned embargo may cease, which has been the best of all the means adopted for the plan concerted and now prosecuted." This and other documents, which will be published, will
disclose the infamous secret agreement, under which those two nations act."
BY THE LAST MAIL.
BOSTON, Oct. 18.
From the Havanna.
Mr. Richmond from the Havanna, sailed on the 27th of September. There had not been any arrival from Spain for sometime, but as captain R. was coming out, a Spanish two decker entered, whose arrival was welcomed by salutes from the different castles.
The affairs of government remained pretty much the same as they had done for sometime; and no change of officers had taken place, excepting that there was a new intendant. The inhabitants continue inveterate against the French—and treat the English with every mark of respect.
The French inhabitants who remain, and have resided in the island sometime, are naturalized as Spanish subjects, by giving bonds for their good behavior. However, since they had received some reports from New-Providencia, that Joseph Bonaparte was at Madrid, and that the patriots have been worsted, many are desirous to have all the French driven from the island; and have gone so far as even in the night time to put placards on the door of the governor's palace, threatening that if the French are not banished, he must answer it with his head!
NEW-YORK, October 31.
Arrived brig Ann, Hewland, in 27 days from St. Pierres, Mart. Left the brig Sussex, Lee, to sail in 2 days for N. York.—brig Emmeline, Richards, for do. in 3 days ship Nankin, Johnston for do 7; Caledonia, Cunningham do. uncertain; brig Eliza Mitchell, for do; schr. Olive-Branch, Tripe of Portsmouth, for N. York, 5; and several others. An embargo had been laid on all vessels for 5 days, and was taken off the day before capt. H. sailed, in consequence of several clearances for France. After being 4 days out was boarded by a British frigate and a brig and treated politely. Flour 36 dollars. Oct. 6th, fell in with brig Jane of Portsmouth, from St. Vincenza, for St. Thomas, in distress, having been robbed by four French brigs, and a sloop bound to France. These French vessels had fallen in with the brig Juliana, Lee, in lat. 29, 35 hours out from St. Vincenza for N. York, and scuttled her; took out the crew and put them on board the Jane. Capt. Howland took out John Pettit, the second mate, and one seaman, the rest of the crew remained on board the Jane.
Also, brig Mary Ann, Lawson, 26 days from St. Pierres, Martinique. The brig Traveller, sailed 23d September for New York. Left ships Caledonia, Cunningham, New York; brigs Emmeline, Stowell, do. Sussex, Lee, do. Hope, Williams, do. Harriet, Smith New London; schooner Ariel, Brewster, do. A few days before sailing, the privateer schooner Bicune, of St. Pierres arrived, with captain Douglas on board, and crew of the brig George, of New London, for Martinique, captured in lat. 20, and ordered for Caudaloupe, where she had arrived. The same privateer had sent into St. Martins the brig Eliza, Hamilton, of New York, and another American vessel.
NORFOLK, October 28.
Arrived schooner Mohawk, Le Breton, 23 days from St. Jago. Sailed in company sloop Maria, Frederick, bound to Norfolk, and schooner Perseverance, Tupper, for Baltimore. Left there ship Three Sisters, Campbell, of Philadelphia; brig Maria, Wolf, of New York—time of sailing unknown; brig Betsey, Bolton, of Baltimore, and schooner Eliza, Husbands, of do. both to sail in two or three days. The schooner Thomas, of Boston, arrived two or three days before the Michawk sailed, with the loss of her mainmast, and very much damaged, loaded with flour. On the 8th Oct. spoke the brig Louisiana, Tubbs, of Philadelphia, off cape Maze, 11 days from St. Jago bound to Barracoa. Flour at St. Jago 35 dollars, beef 20, pork 25, claret wine 70 dollars per hhd. lard 31 dollars per cwt.

Dispatches by the Hope.—The dispatches from this vessel, which has made a voyage most unprecedentedly rapid, have been received from both England and France.—Captain Woodward arrived with those from the latter, just after the former had reached this city by the mail. The whole will doubtless undergo the scrutiny of the cabinet; and the public cannot be more than another week uninformed of the actual relations between the United States and foreign powers. Congress will meet on Monday next, and there can be little question, from the interesting crisis which exists, that a adjournment will be formed on the first day of its session. The president's message will, it is presumed, be one of the most interesting state papers which has appeared in this country since the declaration of independence.

VERMONT ELECTION.
We are not correctly informed of the exact state of parties in the legislature of Vermont. The majority of the legislative branch is certainly democratic; but to what extent is not yet ascertained, as there has been no question taken on any subject of a political nature. The local appointments already made, do not decide the political strength of the house. We understand, however, that they have negatived the motion for filling up the vacancies in that branch, occasioned by the resignations of several federal members, who have gone into the council. This is an arbitrary, illiberal and unprecedented step; and we fear, persisted in, will turn the scale against the papers.

Extract from the Log-Book of the brig Tarantula.
On the 2d Feb. 1808, at 6 P. M. Beachy Head bearing by compass N. W. 4 leagues distance, descried a lugger to the south of us, laying with her sails down, she made sail and at half past 6 came up, hailed and ordered us to heave to—while heaving to fired several shot into us, one of which killed William Hassel, seaman, a native of Philadelphia—and after she had fired, ordered us to heave out the boat and come on board; having lost our small boat and disabled in our crew, which they were informed of, she sent her boat on board, seized papers, and without asking any questions, steered for the coast of France. On the following day, finding that they could not bring their port, they steered for Bologne, at 3 P. M. on entering the port, they ran the brig on shore, where she was wrecked.
Extract of a letter from the very respectable house of Messrs. Thomas Mullet and Co. dated London, August 18, 1808.
Although there is yet a great part of the new wheat crop yet unhoused, we are enabled by the reports made to us to ascertain that the intense hot weather we experienced about the middle of July, occasioned more or less mildew in almost every country; and that in consequence there will be a considerable drawback from the abundant produce, which a while ago we had so much occasion to reckon upon. We however do not at present apprehend that the crop in respect to the quantity per acre, will in the aggregate fall much below an average yield. The most material deficiency we think will be found in the quality, which has been pretty generally deteriorated by blight; the changeable state of the weather during the last fortnight of harvest, and the subsequent hurry of the farmers will also render the condition various in some districts, so that we must not expect a large proportion of the new wheat to prove fine. This leads us to the opinion, that during the whole of the ensuing season we shall have a demand for heavy, sound, dry, sweet old wheat, and for good flour. We think, that if fine American wheat could be delivered at London at about 60s. per quarter, and the best flour at 35s. per bbl. there would be a prospect of a handsome gain, and little or no chance of loss. We repeat the mention we have frequently made of the preference that should be given to wheat before flour, the latter being a much more saleable article than
than the latter. Our present prices would afford 84s. per quarter for fine American wheat, and 48s. per bbl. for fresh superfine flour of good quality, which you will notice to be much above those we name for a cautious speculation."
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. OF THE REGISTER.
Letter from an official character at Cadiz to his friend in this city.
CADIZ, 27th Aug. 1808.
"Fresh victories daily crown our noble arms over those of the abominable and treacherous Napoleon. His forces have been completely overthrown in Arragon, under the walls of Saragossa, on the 15th instant. Our brave troops are marching from all quarters to exterminate the wretches who still pollute some of our northern provinces. Joseph and his gang are nearly surrounded, and I am in hopes will not be able to effect their escape to France. A brother of the tyrant once in our possession, may probably insure the personal safety of our beloved young monarch, who yet remains in fetters. We will break them or perish in the attempt—Fernando is the very heart of a Spaniard, a name dearer to him than life."
The gun-boats stationed on Lake Barataria have been very successful in capturing vessels engaged in violating the embargo laws. A letter from a gentleman on board No. 19, dated at New Orleans, August 26, states, "that the amount of prize money to each man belonging to her will be upwards of 2000 dollars." He further states "we are erecting telegraph houses along the river, and shall sail in a few days for our old station, where we confidently expect to meet with a repetition of our former good fortune."

The democratic writers speak with anger of certain duties being demanded by England, on the entrance into its ports, of American property; but they forget to mention, that the same property, if by chance, the vessel bearing it, should be spoken by a British ship, and afterwards taken into France, would be CONDEMNED in toto. We will however forego the consideration of foreign duties in order to consider what kind of duties, taxes, and impositions, are now placed on the American people, by their own government. The list is borrowed from a southern paper, and reads thus: Enumeration of the Taxes now paid in America.
 The tax to pay for Louisiana.  The tax to take place of the duties collected on sugar and coffee, which Bonaparte wont let us bring from St. Domingo any longer.  The tax to pay the two millions, which may not be enough to secure our title to Louisiana.  The tax to take place of the duties collected on all goods which cannot be imported any longer.  The tax which the farmer pays by his wheat rotting.  The tax which the miller pays by his mill standing.  The tax which the cooper pays by his barrels falling to pieces.  The tax which the shipwright pays by his timber decaying.  The tax which the boatbuilder pays by his planks rotting.  The tax which the ropemaker pays by his hemp tangling.  The tax which the caulker pays by his pitch running.  The tax which the fisherman pays by his fish thrown away.  The tax which the coachmaker pays by his coaches on hand, not to be exported.  The tax which the chair and cabinet makers pay by their furniture going out of fashion.  The tax which the hatters, shoemakers, tailors and smiths pay by their creditors bankruptcy.  The tax which the landlord pays by the tenants running away.  The tax which the tenant pays by standing idle at his workbench shopboard or counter.  The tax which the merchant pays by painting and wetting his ships.  The tax which the sailor pays by losing his wages.  The tax which every poor man pays by being turned out of employment. 
EXTRACT.
"There is not in the world a more useless idle animal, than he who contents himself with being merely a gentleman. He has an estate; therefore he will not endeavor to acquire knowledge: He is not to labor in any vocation; therefore he will do nothing."
But the misfortune is, that there is no such thing in nature as negative virtue, and that absolute idleness is impracticable. He, who does no good, will certainly do mischief; and the mind, if it is not stored with useful knowledge, will necessarily become a magazine of nonsense and trifles. Wherefore a gentleman, though he is not obliged to rise and open his shop, or work at his trade, should always find some way of employing his time to advantage. If he makes no advances in wisdom, he will become more and more a slave to folly; and he that does nothing, because he has nothing to do, will become vicious and abandoned, or at best ridiculous and contemptible.
"I do not know a more melancholy object, than a man of an honest heart and fine natural abilities, whose good qualities are thus destroyed by indolence. Such a person is a constant plague to all his friends and acquaintance, with all the means in his power of adding to their happiness; and suffers himself to take rank amongst the lowest characters, when he might render himself conspicuous among the highest. Nobody is more universally beloved and more universally avoided, than my friend Careless. He is an humane man, who never did a beneficent action; and a man of unshaken integrity on whom it is impossible to depend. With the best head, and the best heart, he regulates his conduct in the most absurd manner, and frequently injures his friends; for whoever neglects to do justice to himself must inevitably wrong those with whom he is connected; and it is by no means a true maxim, that an idle man hurts nobody but himself."
"Virtue then is not to be considered in the light of mere innocence, or abstaining from harm; but as the exertion of our faculties in doing good: as Titus, when he had let a day slip, undistinguished by some act of virtue, cried out, "I have lost a day." If we regard our time in this light, how many days shall we look upon as irretrievably lost, and how narrow a compass would such a method of calculation frequently reduce the longest life? If we were to number our days, according as we have applied them to virtue, it would occasion strange revolutions in the manner of reckoning the ages of men. We should see some few arrived to a good old age in the prime of their youth, and meet with several young fellows of four score."
NEW INVENTION.
Asa Frost, of Cazenovia, Madison county, New York, has obtained letters patent, under the seal of the U. States, for a machine, called a BRICK MACHINE.—The advantage to brick makers to be derived from the use of this machine, are numerous. The operation of preparing the mortar, is simple and expeditious—which is performed by draft with horses or oxen. The brick yard which has been heretofore exposed, and the newly stricken brick liable to be demolished by sudden rains, are now perfectly secure, by means of a covering which stands and moves on trundles, and can be thrown over or taken off a yard or fifty feet square in the space of two minutes. The importance of this invention is acknowledged by the most eminent brick workmen, and by all others who have seen its operation.
A volume of the Napoleon Commercial Code of Laws, printed in Sterentype by DIDOT, in Paris, was sent to Madrid with King Joe. When he fled from the latter place, he left this precious morsel [6000 copies] behind him, preferring the regalia of Spain to the regulations of Napoleon the Great! One copy, together with several valuables, because curious Spanish books, were received in London a few weeks ago.

BONEY. Why zounds! Brother JOE! Don't you know That Spain is our own? Why then, my deal JOE Don't you go Seize the crown, And sit down On your throne. BROTHER JOE. Alas; Brother NAP! This Spain is a trap The Devil has laid for our ruin? So BONEY, beware Of this damnable snare, Remember the story of Bruin. You're building a castle in air— For no matter who'll win A claim to the skin If nobody kills the Bear.
