NEW YORK, May 26.
The ship Dartmouth from Sligo (whose arrival we noticed in our last) sailed on the 28th of April, and brings Dublin papers of the 24th, containing London dates of the 21st. The extracts we have made from them for the Mercantile Advertiser are so extensive as to supercede the necessity of any editorial remarks, and have excluded many local articles and a great mass of advertisements which shall receive due attention to-morrow.
LONDON, April 6.
Baron Rshausen, the Swedish minister at our court, on Friday presented a note to our government, announcing that his Swedish majesty, in order to protect the commerce of the Baltic, and for military purposes, had found it necessary to blockade the river Peene, thereby preventing the passage of all vessels to and from Anclam, Wolgast, Stettin, &c.
April 7.
Government has determined to give to Russia every possible support, and sixty thousand stand of arms will be sent off with the utmost dispatch. They were on Saturday insured, and will be conveyed in two sloops of war. They are to be followed by a proportionate quantity of ball cartridges. Upwards of sixty thousand stands which had been previously sent with ball cartridges, had reached Memel, and are at this moment very likely employed with success against the common enemy.
April 8.
A short time ago the British merchants presented a memorial to the marquis of Douglass, requesting him to intercede with the Russian government for the renewal of an Ukase favorable to our commerce. In that memorial they set forth at length a number of grievances, intending them for his lordship's private information. Instead of making a memorial to the Russian government from the merchants' memorial for the renewal of the ukase, his lordship presented the whole of the latter, containing many complaints against the Russian government, very improper to make known to it, though very proper for his lordship's private information.
This brought the merchants into the most unpleasant dilemma, and gave great offence to the Russian ministry, in consequence of which his lordship has become very unpopular, and the British influence at the court has been much impaired.
Under these circumstances the Russian government is so much out of humor that it seeks for objects of complaint against us, and among others, complains bitterly of our government having sent such small assistance in arms, ammunition and money, though the Baltic has been open the whole of the winter. It is even feared that Russia is treating for peace.
Lord Cathcart is, it is said, to have the command of the troops going to the continent. They are to be disembarked at Memel, and join the Russian army as soon as possible. Three battalions of the foot guards are to be sent.
April 14.
Peace between England, Russia and Turkey.
We ( Courier ) had the satisfaction to announce, yesterday, the glorious intelligence received from the Dardanelles. Government have not yet received the official dispatches from sir John Duckworth or Mr. Arbuthnot; but they are in possession of other advices, to which, we understand, they attach implicit credit. Indeed the Dutch papers to the 6th, which have arrived, render the intelligence very probable. The Vienna Court Gazette of the 21st of March, contains the following paragraph:
"Admiral Louis's squadron, cruising off Tenedos, was reinforced between the 15th and the 18th of February, by 4 three-deckers, and several frigates and corvettes—and on the 21st the English forced the seven forts which protect the passage of the Dardanelles, burnt a ship of the line, and also destroyed some Turkish frigates in the channel. In consequence, fresh negotiations and proposals for accommodation took place, and were continued when the latest accounts came away."
Intelligence which government has received is more particular as well as more recent. Admiral Louis remained off Tenedos, cruising between that island and the island of Lemnos, till he was joined by sir J. Duckworth—they then forced the passage of the Dardanelles amidst a tremendous fire, which however did little damage to our ships. The fire from the old Castle on the north side of the Strait, is
said to have been for a short time peculiarly heavy, but it was soon silenced by the British thunder, and the fort is said to have been reduced almost to a heap of ruins. The Turkish squadron opposed an unavailing resistance. It is said that the number of ships taken or destroyed was much greater than the Vienna Gazette states, the number is reported to have been ten sail of the line. The vigor of our proceedings in conjunction with the Russian squadron, spread universal consternation and dismay. Proceeding through the Dardanelles into the sea of Marmora, we prepared to carry our force before Constantinople, but before any thing was attempted against that city, a messenger was sent off to the Divan offering terms of peace. The Divan after a short consultation, acceded to them and the following is the substance of the conditions we dictated in concert with our allies to the Porte.
"That the English should retain possession of the Dardanelles till a general peace."
"That Russia should also keep possession of certain of the Turkish fortresses till a general peace, as a security for the fidelity of the Porte."
The first and immediate consequence of this act of vigor, was the dissolution of the French influence—Sebastian was ordered away from Constantinople in twenty four hours.
April 20.
It was reported last night that the duke of Portland had resigned, and that Lord Sidmouth was placed at the head of the treasury. This avert has not however taken place, but that some change in the cabinet is on the Tapis we can hardly doubt, having had it stated to us from many quarters. There are difficulties in the way which will not be easily surmounted. Mr. Canning it is said resists the admission of Lord Sidmouth, as does also Lord Melville—while others of the cabinet maintain the measure to be indispensably necessary. We hope to be able to speak more decisively in a day or two.
Parliament we are assured will be dissolved after the close of the present session.
(Star.)
April 21.
The Swedes are said to be advancing, and to have been joined by a strong body of Germans, anxious to revenge upon the French the cruelties that have been inflicted. It was reported that the Swedes had entered Stettin. The siege of Danzig is said to have been raised as well as the siege of Stralsund. Lefebvre's division, which was besieging the former place, has been ordered to join the grand army. Bonaparte seems determined to strengthen himself as much as possible previously to the general battle which has in all probability, been sought ere this time.
We are now enabled to inform the public, from the best authority, that it is finally determined the present parliament shall be dissolved the latter end of May, or the beginning of June.
(Statesman.)
The session of parliament will it is supposed, be put an end to in about three weeks. The public business is so far advanced as to allow parliament to be prorogued about that time. So early a prorogation too, would admit of a dissolution of parliament, should such be the intention of ministers, before the harvest.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
From the Konigsburg Gazette of March 16.
Translation of the circumstantial report of his excellency the general in chief, Baron Von Benningen, relative to the battle of Prussian Eylau.
"On the 25th of Jan. (8th Feb.) I broke up from Landsberg with my army, which in various detachments made from it was only seventy thousand. The French which consisted of the five corps of marshals Augereau, Soult, Murat, Davoust, and Ney, which in the evening was joined by Bernadotte, consisted of 90,000 men followed me closely, skirmishing continually with my rear guard, which consisted of the brigades of generals Marloff, Bagavoust, and Barclay de Tolly, under the command of prince Bagration."
"When I arrived at Prussian Eylau, I caused my army to take a position at some distance behind the town, but ordered my rear guard to take the posts assigned it in the face of the enemy, to protect the march of my heavy artillery, which I was bringing from Worlsdorff, by a private route considerably circuitous, partly to avoid some bad roads, and partly to facilitate the
march of my columns. At the same time I caused the town of Prussian Eylau to be occupied by general Barclay, and sent some regiments of the 1st division to the support of the rear guard; this reinforcement enabled general Marloff to take a firm position and erect a battery. The enemy did not neglect to follow gen. Marloff, and while he sent out his flankers, directed the march of three strong columns against the heights occupied by gen. Marloff. The latter sent his sharpshooters against the enemy, and fired on them with his field pieces; but as this was found insufficient, the regiment of Pskoff and the regiment of Sophie, attacked the enemy with the bayonet, and dispersed a column. The second column was defeated by a regiment of Petersburg dragoons, and almost entirely destroyed. The 3d column was cut down by the fire from our artillery, under the command of the brave colonel Jermoloff. The enemy now began to fire on our line with artillery, and to march against it with four columns, while a fifth marched against our left wing, and endeavored to take it in flank. As the regiment of Pskoff and Sophie, were too weak to prevent this, they received orders to retreat, while the regiment of Moscow grenadiers, and the 21st regiment of Yagers (chasseurs) supported by the regiment of cuirassiers the Kargopol and Ingermanland regiment of dragoons, and the Elizabeth grod hussars advanced to the attack. The four regiments of artillery attacked sword in hand the enemy's cavalry, which endeavored to turn our right wing, and killed a great number. The batteries of the 8th division held the enemy in respect on our left wing, and the same regiment of hussars attacked at the same time with great success."
"Though the enemy was repulsed at all points, he reinforced himself on every side, and threatened to cut off those of our troops which had advanced farthest. I commanded these to fall back, that they, as well as the 8th division, and afterwards the whole rear guard, might retreat through Prussian Eylau, and join the main body, which was carried into execution in the following manner. The 5th, 7th, 8th, 13th and 15th, formed two lines, of which the second was only a single column; the 4th and 14th formed the reserve. The right wing was commanded by lieutenant general Toutschkow; the centre by lieut. gen. baron Von Ostermann; and the whole advanced guard by the prince Bagration. The whole of the cavalry, under the command of lieut. gen. prince Gallitzin, covered the two wings, a part of it, however, was with the line. The heights in front of my van, were occupied by our batteries, general Barclay, and the flying artillery of colonel Jermoloff, which had covered the retreat of the rear guard were still in Prussian Eylau; but presently the enemy advanced against the town with so great a force, that general Barclay, though he had achieved prodigies of valor, was obliged to yield to superior numbers and retreat. As soon as I perceived this, I sent the 5th division to his support. It marched in three columns, overturned all before them, and retook the town by storm. In this attack, the enemy suffered a very great loss, though he had planted cannon in the streets of the town, and fired on us on every side from the windows of the houses. General Barclay on this occasion was severely wounded in the arm. After the night came on, and the enemy had entirely ceased to fire, I withdrew all the troops from the town, in order to collect my whole force on the other side for a general attack the next day. But to secure myself against any alarm in the night, I placed the 4th division, reinforced by the regiment Archangel, between the town and the army, at the same time I withdrew the detached corps of general Barclay to the regiment under general Bagavoust. On the 27th of January (8th Feb) at five in the morning, I formed two columns in the midst of my position, and gave the command of them to general Doccroff; while on my left wing I placed a third column, consisting of gen. count Kancensky, while the brigade of gen. Marloff filled the space in my lines which had been left by the 7th division placed in column. At day break the enemy advanced through the town, and I sent some regiments of Yagers against him. At the same time I observed that between the town and the heights, on which were batteries of the enemy; there were several French columns which, as well as the batteries, threatened my centre. I immediately ordered my batteries to direct their fire as well against the enemy's artillery, as against the troops defiling out of the town, by which the French columns were obliged to halt."
"On the other side the French cavalry, which had attacked gen. Toutschkow on
his right wing, was repulsed by the fire of the artillery of count Siwers. The enemy made himself master of a village situated on our right wing, and appeared to threaten our right flank with considerable force; I, however, soon drove him out of the village with the 24th regiment of Yagers, and some other sharpshooters. In the mean time we saw other fresh columns of French guards come out of Prussian Eylau, which appeared to intend an attack on my right wing and on my centre. Gen. Foutschkow had then ordered major general Fock to advance with his brigade, which, supported by two regiments of dragoons, attacked the enemy with the bayonet, repulsed him with great slaughter, and left eight pieces of cannon in his hands. Gen. Tapolsky, who was posted behind the centre with one of the columns of reserve, being ordered by gen. Doctoroff to deploy, received the enemy with so well supported a fire of small arms, that it forced the enemy to retreat, and, without giving him time to rally, advanced on him with the bayonet, took an Eagle and made 130 prisoners. At the same time some squadrons of French cavalry, supported by infantry, advanced against the left of our centre, and endeavored to penetrate it thro' an interval in our first line, but were received by the Cossacks and some cavalry with so much success that only 18 men returned, the rest being all cut to pieces. The enemy's infantry which supported these squadrons was repulsed by the regiment of grenadiers of Moscow, under the command of prince Charles of Mecklenburgh Schwerin, and the Schleswig regiment of infantry, which had been detached by gen. Essen. They retreated towards the columns of the enemy which had been repulsed by our gen. Zapolsky, and joined them. At the same moment these columns, which had been joined by two other columns of the enemy, began to renew the attack, but were repulsed by generals Sornoff and Zapolsky, with two regiments of cavalry, which were posted behind our front, and which attacked them with the greatest impetuosity. Count O'Rourke, with three squadrons of the regiment of Pawlograd hussars took these retiring columns in flank, and pursued them till they got under the cannon. The St. Petersburg dragoons and Vladimir regiment of infantry on this occasion took two Eagles, and the enemy in his retreat left behind him 22 pieces of heavy artillery."
"The attack directed against our right wing was obstructed by General Sacken's flankers—General Bagavoust who had occupied the village of Serhullen with a detachment of the advanced guard, was attacked at break of day and merely defended himself by his flankers—but as the attacking columns threatened to turn the village, Gen. Kochowski hastened to his assistance with his regiment of Lithuanian Uhlan, and the regiment of the Cuirassiers of Little Prussia; they drove the enemy back, who retreated in the utmost confusion towards a forest. The same regiments then attacked with the same decisive success other columns of French infantry, which supported by cavalry made a movement towards our centre, threw them into the greatest confusion, killed 300 and took 67 prisoners, among whom are ten officers. General Pahlen attacked with the brigade of cavalry of Gen. Korff, several French columns which were marching against general Sacken's division threw them into disorder and took one Eagle. The regiment of Hussars of Ispun, and the regiment of dragoons of Courland, also attacked the enemy with great success."
"The enemy finding themselves repulsed with considerable loss, they united their whole force, and formed in strong columns, which moved towards our left wing, with a view of turning it. General Bagavoust being too weak to resist a force so very superior to his, found himself necessitated to abandon and set fire to the village of Scapallen, which he had hitherto occupied, in order to take another position. His cavalry posted in front, attacked the enemy several times, but was obliged to fall back behind our left wing. In the mean time the enemy continued to receive considerable reinforcements, pursuing the plan of turning our left. Gen. Kamensky, who had already sent some reinforcements to Gen. Bagavoust, detachments of Uglitz and Kosroma to reinforce his left wing, and ordered the village of Klein Sagarttein, to be occupied by the regiment of Resan. Count Ostermann finding himself opposed by a very superior force he deemed it necessary to reserve his left wing, which was soon joined by General Bagavoust, against whom the above French columns, proceeded by a numerous artillery and flankers, and had already reached our flank. The enemy had already turned our left wing, and forced the divisions of Sacken and Ostermann, to a retrograde movement, by concentrating all his attack against this point."
"I now ordered my horse artillery to advance. General Kutoysoff and colonel Jermoloff erected their batteries on a height, and kept up so brisk a fire on the enemy, that they halted a few moments, abandoned the farm of

Anklappen, which they had occupied, in great haste and fled in the utmost confusion. At the same time, general Tschaplitz, who commanded a detachment of horse, attacked the enemy in the village of Kutschilten, drove them out of it, and almost entirely destroyed the enemy's cavalry; during these transactions lieutenant general L'Estocq arrived in the field of battle with the Russian corps under his command, and two Russian regiments of foot, and hastened to reinforce our wing. As soon as he had formed a junction with the division of general Tschaplitz, he marched towards the enemy, whom he cannonaded with a well directed fire from his battery. He then made a rapid movement against the left wing of the enemy, with a view of turning it, and pursued them until the fall of night, which forced him to relinquish a further pursuit. The arrival of lieutenant general L'Estocq, and the activity with which he performed his movements, contributed much to secure to us the fortune of the day. While the batteries of our left wing were then keeping up a brisk canonade against the enemy, and lieutenant general L'Estocq pursued them; the enemy, although they were in possession of the village of Schwitten, did not dare to attack our right wing, merely composed of the division of general Tschaplitz, on account of its being covered by the fire of a strong Prussian battery, which general Fock had established on a height. At the fall of night I ordered the enemy to be driven from the village of Schwitten, where they sustained a considerable loss. The Cossacks behaved with distinguished gallantry, during the action and took 470 prisoners.
This destructive battle commenced on the 7th, at three o'clock in the afternoon, and ended the following day at midnight. The loss of the enemy consists, by their own confession, in 30,000 killed and 12,000 wounded; 2,000 Frenchmen have been made prisoners of war, and 12 eagles taken. Our loss amounts to 12,000 killed, and 7,900 wounded: fourteen French generals were killed or wounded; 9 of our generals are wounded, but most of them so slightly that they have already joined the army, to bear testimony to the signal and persevering valor displayed by your majesty's troops, and to assure you that your army, while it has thus acquired immortal glory, has given another memorable proof of what a nation may achieve, which fights in defence of its native country, and is ready to sacrifice its blood and life for the attainment of the noble purpose of an adored monarch. In vain did Bonaparte lavish with the utmost profuseness all his vast resources; in vain did he incite the courage of his soldiers, and in vain did he sacrifice so great a part of his army. The gallantry and persevering valor of the Russians withstood all his efforts, and wrested from him a victory long and severely contested.
Having remained master of the field of battle, I continued there that night, and weighed the measure which I should further have to pursue; and I have reason to congratulate myself on the determination I took to march to Konigsberg, I was there able to supply my army with every thing it stood in need of; after long and glorious exertions it found there relief and repose, while the French army, weakened and dispirited, remained under arms. I hoped by this retrograde movement to induce the French army to follow me, but twelve regiments of horse only made this attempt, under the command of marshal Murat, and were almost entirely destroyed near Mansfield. After this fresh loss the enemy began to retreat.

Constantinople, March 10.
The English squadron has availed itself of a northerly wind to sail out of the channel. While the English admiral was negotiating, the batteries were constructing under the direction of French officers all around our port, and mounted with upwards of 600 pieces of cannon. Within a few days, the forts of the Dardanelles were put in the most tenable condition. Before three weeks shall have elapsed, the Dardanelles will be in a state altogether impregnable like our port. In the canal the English were struck with astonishment at the sight of the immense population of the coast. Their boats, which put off to fetch water and other provisions, were not able to land. They have, therefore, done extremely well to shear off with all possible speed. The Grand Seignor has adopted the same measures in his dominions against the English and their property as the French emperor. The seals have been put on the palace of the English ambassador, as well as on all English warehouses. All persons not belonging to the military are to be discarded, and after this measure shall have been carried into effect, the shops will be opened again.

Copenhagen, April 7.
We have letters from Dantzie of the 1st inst. They state the garrison to be in high spirits, and to have been recently strengthened by 4000 Russians and 1200 Cossacks. A partial engagement took place between the besieging army and the garrison on the 29th ult. when the latter succeeded in taking 520 prisoners, with a loss on their part of 127 killed and 68 wounded. The loss of the French in killed and wounded was estimated at nearly 400. The action was the result of a victorious rally, in which the enemy was completely sur-
prised. The writer of the account saw the action from the top of a church.
From the Konigsberg Gazette March 9.
According to advices received from the army, down to the 8th inst. the enemy remained in their position behind the Passarge. On the 26th ult. the Prussian corps, under lieutenant general Ploetz, had passed over the Passarge, through Braunsberg, to repulse the enemy's left wing, and facilitate the passage over the river to general Lestocq's corps. The latter was immediately attacked with great superiority of numbers, by Bernadotte's corps. The Prussians actually succeeded in every where repelling the enemy; but the enemy receiving constant reinforcements, the Prussians were obliged to retreat at night into Braunsberg, where the infantry had a most obstinate engagement. The Prussian force, were now compelled to give way to superior numbers, retreated to Heiligenheil, without being pursued by the enemy, who were satisfied with having taken the town. The loamy ground had become so slippery, from the thaw, that neither the artillery nor cavalry could take a decisive part in the action, on which account the infantry sustained no inconsiderable loss; it may amount to 500 men in killed, wounded and missing. In the following days the two corps formed a junction under general Lestocq, and took a position near Heiligenheil and Meseritz, the van in Wormsdit and Guttstadt, and the advanced posts along the Passarge. The corps under general Tolstoy advanced by Bischoffstein and Seeburg to the neighborhood of Wartenburg. His out posts drove the enemy from Allenstein, while the Cossacks occupied Passenheim. In Lansberg were found 264 Frenchmen, left behind. Skirmishes are daily fought between the advanced posts. At the end of February, Hetman Platow brought in 400 prisoners; and general Tolstoy 60 prisoners and 30 horses, on the 27th February. On the 3d inst. Platow brought in again three officers and 60 prisoners. On the 3d inst. the enemy attacked the whole front line of the Russian advanced posts, crossing the Passarge at different parts, and making his main attack on Gurstadt and Allenstein, which were occupied by the enemy. After a smart engagement, and a violent cannonade, the Russians after a brave resistance fell back to their former position. The enemy appearing at the same time near Braunsberg, against the corps of Lestocq, seemed seriously to design to advance, but the brave resistance of the Russians and the skillful movements of general Lestocq prevented him, and the position of both armies remain as before.
By reports from general Essen, of the 15th of February, he had that day an engagement with the enemy near Ostrolenka; the issue of which, though not altogether as he intended, made the enemy retreat to Pultusk, upon which the Russian corps advanced beyond Ostrolenka, and has already established a communication with the corps of Tolstoy, which makes the left wing of the Russian grand army.

TRIAL OF COL. BURR.
On Saturday nothing of moment occurred at the trial. The bill had not been sent up to the grand jury, and of course nothing was done. On Monday the 25th, a motion was made in court by the United States attorney, to commit Col. Burr on the charge of high treason, and an offer was made to introduce additional evidence, to show probable cause for commitment. The motion was opposed by Col. Burr and his counsel, in an able and a masterly manner. They contended that in the present stage of the business, it would be improper on many accounts & for obvious reasons, which will more fully appear in the details, and the court adjourned at 5 P. M. On Tuesday the court gave an opinion in favor of the United States attorney's right to make such a motion, and were prepared to hear evidence. None however was offered, and the criminal business was postponed until Wednesday.
In the mean time propositions were made for compromising. The U. S. attorney would withdraw this motion if Col. Burr would find bail to a satisfactory amount, and he might go at large tho' committed for High Treason, and to be tried at the next term. This proposition was rejected by Col. Burr with contempt.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
New York, May 25.
We have this moment received Irish papers to the 24th of April, inclusive, per the ship Dartmouth, captain Soule, in 25 days from Sligo. They are filled with very important news.
There was a general battle between Benningsen and Bonaparte the last of March, in which the former was victorious, having taken and destroyed fifty thousand French troops, &c.
Extract of a letter from St. Pierres, (Mart.) April 17.
This place seems rapidly approaching a state of starvation; and there is no doubt in a few days there will be a general demand. At present every thing (except flour) is on the rise. Fish is at 12 dollars per cwt. None at market. Provisions generally getting in demand. Our road seems almost deserted. Only 6 or 7 vessels in port; and nearly all ready to sail.
Extract of a letter from St. Pierres, Martinique, dated 17th ultimo, received by a respectable commercial house in New-York.
Every thing has a gloomy appearance here—New loans and new taxes are presented to our view daily. Our road is almost deserted; and, if there are no arrivals, in one week there will not be a vessel in port. Notwithstanding, provisions are plenty and nothing in demand. The American merchants are still permitted to do business, though continually threatened.
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, having elected Dr. Jenner an honorary Fellow, permission has been obtained of Dr. Spens, the president of the college, to publish his letter announcing that election, together with the extract from the minutes of the college, which accompanied it.
Copy of a letter from Dr. Spens to Dr. Jenner dated Edinburgh, May 20, 1806.
Sir,
In the absence of Dr. James Home, secretary of the Royal College of Physicians of this city, I have the honor to inform you, that a meeting held this day, and for the express purpose, they unanimously elected you an honorary Fellow of their college.
This mark of distinction, with very few exceptions, has for the last fifty years been confined to foreign physicians of the first eminence.
The college have conferred it on you in testimony of their conviction of the immense benefits which have been, and will, they trust, in all future ages, be derived to the world, from inoculation for the cow-pox; and as a mark of their sense of your very great merits and ability, in introducing and promoting this invaluable practice.
As an individual, allow me to express the satisfaction I feel, in conveying to you the sentiments of the body to which I belong; and in which, at present, I have the honor to preside.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedt humble servt,
THOMAS SPENS,
C. R. M. E. D. P. R.
Dr. Edward Jenner.
To this letter of Dr. Spens, we subjoin the following extract of one from Dr. Stuart, a Fellow of the college, to Dr. Jenner, dated August 19, 1806, relative to the subject.
The diploma of the college will soon be sent to you; and it will give every one of us satisfaction, that it be regarded as expressing our full assurance of the safety and immense utility of vaccination.
The state of my health has, in great measure, removed me from practice; but from the testimony of other practitioners, and the proofs of its salutary consequences at the public Dispensary, where I still attend. I am satisfied, that if all the world could be persuaded to inoculate with the cow-pox matter, more blessed results would arise to mankind, than have hitherto been produced by medicine and surgery in general.
About 1200 have been inoculated at the Dispensary since January last; and 6468 previous to that time, since the commencement of the practice there; and you may say confidently, that with the utmost care, in attending to every report unfavorable to the practice, in no one instance has any thing appeared, which does not recommend it for universal adoption.
I was surprised at seeing it mentioned in the newspapers, as meeting with opposition in Scotland. The reverse is the case, I believe, almost universally. I shall be most happy, if government should express the national gratitude, in a different way from what they have hitherto done; and such, I trust, is the sentiment of every one among us, who has observed and considered the practice. It would give me pleasure to answer any inquiry on the subject of Vaccination; or to do any thing in my power to promote the practice."—[London Medical and Physical Journal for February, 1807.]
TEMPERANCE.
The reader will smile at the pleasantry as well as approve the good sense of the following thoughts on Temperance, taken from the "Invalid," by the late rev. R. Graves:
It has been observed, that all other animals besides man are contented with one species of food; flesh, fish, or fowl, or vegetables; and never encroach on that of different species.
The lion, though invested with sovereign power, and living in regal style, is contented with the leg of a calf or the haunch of a stag; never thinks of a second course, or of a desert, or even of a sauce, cauliflower, or carrot, pickled cucumber, or the like.
The eagle also, king of the birds, feasts himself and his royal family, the young princes, and the infants, on a brace of pheasants, a turkey, or a dozen of pigeons; but would not debase himself, by stooping to a nest of larks or robin red-breasts, for a second course.
But man, as lord of the creation, by his prerogative, falls foul of whatever comes in his way, and ransacks the universe to gratify his voracious appetite; the fowls of the air, the fishes of the sea, the beasts of the forest, with vegetables of every species; not only herbs, which were intended for the use of man, but roots, which seem reserved for the food and the snouts of hogs; nay, even the excrescences of nature, mushrooms and truffles, indigestible substances, which, if they were ever intended to be eaten, it must probably have been by the inhabitants of the infernal regions.
If temperance, however, regulated our use of those various articles of food with which providence indulges us; if we killed the animals without cruelty, and cooked them with plainness and simplicity, they might be what providence intended them, a blessing and not a use. But when we torture them in taking away their lives, as we often do, and scarify, carbonade and bedevil their flesh, not only with pepper and salt, as we do the gizzard of a turkey, but add a little nutmeg, a little cinnamon, a blade of mace, with cloves and onions, &c. and eat it with oil, vinegar and mustard; such a heterogeneous mixture, instead of producing a lacqueous chyle flowing through the alimentary canal, like the stream of Arno, must become a caustic fluid, rushing like the fiery torrent of Vesuvius, harrowing up and tearing the vessels; or at least generate fevers, calculos, and every disease incident to the human body.
A meeting of the Members of the Rifle Company is requested at the house of Mr. Hucorn, on Saturday Evening next, at 7 o'clock. May 29.
Cavalry Orders.
The members of Captain DANGERFIELD's troop of dismounted cavalry, are requested to attend at Mott's tavern, at 4 o'clock, to-morrow evening.
