PROSPECTUS OF A PAPER,
TO BE PRINTED IN ALEXANDRIA,
THE COLUMBIAN.
THE Subscriber, anxious to establish a Paper whose contents and principles shall be satisfactory to the moderate of both parties, presents to his friends and the liberal public in general, the following outlines of his plan, hoping that they may be consonant to feelings warm in the defence of liberty and the true interests of the country.
The work will at all times be open to the discussion of political matters, destitute of rancor on the one hand, or of overweening partiality on the other. The Editor's selections shall be made with care and attention, never sacrificing for any purpose the real interest of the community, or wandering from the established standard of truth.
In the natural course of affairs, it will sometimes be necessary, from a want of political matter, that the columns of a paper should be supplied with moral disquisitions, practically useful and interesting, and instructive anecdotes from historic research. Nor can this course be well objected to by those whose feelings are alive to the cause of genuine morality and religion. The Editor calculates with confidence upon receiving from those whose education and means of information will authorize it, a copious supply of materials on these subjects. His paper will be at all times open to receive the reflections of the man of science, or the deep research of the critical scholar.
Communications upon all matters, touching Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, together with plans for the general improvement in Canals, public Roads, and the various discoveries in any branch of learning or the mechanic arts, will be particularly sought after, and punctually inserted.
The Editor, earnestly desirous to conciliate parties, will use his most strenuous endeavors to effect so desirable an object—and in the town of Alexandria, where he is attached by the strongest ties of nature, and of interest, he will ever consider it as a primary object, to destroy those seeds of dissention which have had the tendency to retard the growth and prosperity of the town. It is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the minutiae of politics cause a difference of sentiment, and not those general and universally admired maxims in governmental institutions.
The principles of the great and illustrious Washington, together with his services, shall ever be revered.
The Editor is far from desiring to impose on the minds of those who may favor him with their patronage, that his mind has assumed no stand on the important subject of politics, no! on the contrary, he unequivocally declares, that his sentiments are decidedly republican.
As soon as 400 subscribers shall be obtained this paper will be printed, weekly, at 25 cents per ann. payable, half yearly, in advance, after the receipt of the first number.
It will be printed with a neat type, and on good paper of the ordinary size.
If adequate encouragement should be offered, after the commencement of the paper, it will be published three times a week.
Having made arrangements for the necessary materials, and contracted with a gentleman of abilities to assist in the execution of the work, the citizens of Alexandria will be immediately waited on for their patronage—Subscription papers will also be left at the Coffee House and at the principal Book Stores,

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN AWAY on the evening of the 7th inst. a Bright Mulatto Man named
B O B,
Who calls himself ROBERT THOMAS; About 5 feet 10 inches high, 24 or 25 years of age, has large black eye-brows, large full eyes, not very dark, and is a stout well made handsome fellow. His hair is thick, but not quite straight, and he wears it nicely trimmed, combed and ridged on the top. His beard appears very black if suffered to grow for a day or two, but he usually shaves it very closely. He has recently received an injury on the fore finger of the left hand, and has it bound up, and may probably lose the first joint of it. He speaks deliberately, and is more correct in conversation than persons of his color usually are. He walks slowly, is a very good waiter, & delights particularly in attending to horses. He has a variety of cloaths, and took with him one dark green broadcloth coat and pantaloon with yellow buttons, one cloth coat and pantaloon nearly of the same color, but the cloth of inferior quality, with white metal buttons, one blue cloth coat much worn, one old brown surcoat with covered buttons, a good hat, and a pair of black top boots. The rest of his apparel I am not able particularly to describe. He is fond of wearing boots, and pays great attention to his dress.
As he can read and write very well, he may probably produce a forged authority for him to pass, or procure the certificate of some one of the negroes, who, a few years ago, petitioned by the name of Thomas and obtained their freedom in Maryland. If taken out of the state of Maryland and district of Columbia, and secured in any jail, so that I get him again, the above reward will be given, or sixty dollars if taken and secured within the said state or district; all reasonable expenses will also be paid if he should be delivered to me in the city of Washington, or to Dr. Richard Duckett, in Prince George's county, Maryland. He is well acquainted in Annapolis, Baltimore, Geo. Town, and the city of Washington.

MASSACHUSETTS.
Answer of the House of Representatives of Massachusetts, to the Governor's Speech.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
June 9, 1808.
May it please your Excellency,
The House of Representatives have considered with respectful attention your Excellency's Address to the Legislature. At the close of the session, and without the aid of official documents, they find it difficult to accompany your excellency through an extensive range of detail upon our national affairs.
The House of Representatives, although they might adduce the example of other states as precedents in animadverting on measures of the general government, approach with caution subjects of national concern. A conviction that the resolutions which were passed by the Legislature of the last year, might lead to a misconception of the feelings and interests of the people of the commonwealth, was the most powerful inducement for the expression of the sense of this Legislature, upon the subjects embraced in those resolutions.
The sentiment of warm attachment to the independence of our country, expressed by your excellency, meets the cordial reciprocation of every member of this house; while every real American will acknowledge the weakness and danger of depending on any foreign power for protection. But at the same time it is to be remembered, that a wavering, partial, short-sighted policy, the usual offspring of timidity, in the management of public affairs, may involve a nation in as great distress, and lead ultimately to the same fatal catastrophe.
We trust the time is fast approaching when reliance will be placed, under Divine Providence, upon our own resources, upon our national energies directed by wisdom and nerved by valor.
We are fully convinced that an administration which pursuing an enlightened, liberal, and impartial policy, shall disclose to the people its own views and their situation—that such an administration will gladly restore our former prosperity, will retrieve the character of the American people and will receive the warm support of the citizens of Massachusetts.
Your excellency has been pleased to call the attention of the Legislature to the benefits derived from our national union; to deprecate the distressing evils which would result from "an opposition of one or more states to the authority of the national government," and to point out the necessity of the free exercise of the general government in all concerns within its powers as delegated by the people. We assure your excellency that upon these important points we know no difference of opinion. The opposition, which met the establishment of our national government prior to the adoption of the constitution, and which has occasionally discovered symptoms of dissatisfaction since that time in different parts of the United States, appears to have yielded to an attachment to the union founded upon experience of its advantages, and guaranteed by the strong ties of common interest. It surely cannot for a moment be supposed that those men who established the government, and who have for so long a time been its support, can entertain a wish for its destruction.
In all countries, which have preserved even the shadow of freedom, an obvious distinction between the government and its administration has been recognised. In this country liberty of speech, the freedom of the press, and of debate in our legislative assemblies, have been most expressly and particularly guaranteed by our constitutions. Indeed the whole theory of our government is built upon the position, that public men and measures are the objects of free enquiry and discussion. The doctrine that the individual states should be jealous of the general government, and that our great danger arose from the probability of a consolidation of all the states under one government, have heretofore been considered by many as orthodox articles in the republican creed.
We conceive, therefore, may it please your excellency, that if ever it shall be considered criminal to investigate the conduct of our rulers, or to express our opinion of the measures of government with freedom; if ever the mandate of authority shall suppress enquiry, or stifle the voice of public complaint, the constitution becomes a dead letter, and the liberties of the people but a name. And we also conceive, that in times of great and general suffering, it is much more safe and expedient that the legislative body should represent to the constituted authorities the real sentiments and feelings of the people, than
to take the hazard that they may burst out in violent and perhaps uncontrollable expressions of distress.
The house of representatives have learnt with great pleasure from your excellency, that our government instead of eliciting upon the fallacious aid of foreign alliance, is raising forces, making provision for arming our militia, and that the fortifications of our principal seaports are in a state of progress. In a time of such extensive alarm and imminent danger, it gives great satisfaction to the representatives of the people to find, that our general government has commenced a system of measures so obviously of the first importance.
It would be tedious, as your excellency remarks, to detail all the orders and decrees of the belligerent powers, which infringe the rights of the U. S. We will only remark, that the offensiveness of the decree of the emperor of France, which is first in order of time, and first noticed by your excellency, is greatly aggravated by the consideration, that it is in direct violation of our treaty made with that government in 1800; thus adding insult to injury, and sacrificing at once the good faith of contracts, and the established principles & usages of civilized nations. We perfectly concur with your excellency in reprobating that most unfounded claim, by any belligerent, to blockade the ports of their enemies by orders and decrees only. It is one of the most incontrovertible maxims in the law of nations, that a blockade can never rightfully exist without an actual investment by a force competent to invest or punish its infringement.
The U. S. have but lately assumed a rank among the nations of the world. In the year 1793, for the first time, they found themselves in the situation of an independent neutral state, amidst the conflict of the most powerful nations. The policy of the great Washington at that time was pacific; the interests of the country have ever since dictated a similar policy.
Under these circumstances it was, perhaps, to be expected that we should estimate more highly the rights of neutrals than those of belligerents; that we should consider the former as better founded in reason and justice, and sometimes view with jealousy the just exercise of the rights of war. But while we would at all times resist with firmness every extension of those rights, we should not forget that we ourselves may become belligerents. We therefore owe it to our country as well as to all other nations, not to attempt innovations in those rules of conduct which are equally obligatory on all, and which it may be indispensable for our safety at another time to enforce. We agree in opinion with your excellency, that the people of the U. S. still "ardently wish for peace;" and we cannot but indulge a hope that the general government will speedily adjust every subject of controversy with all nations who manifest a sincere disposition to respect our rights, and to make honorable reparation for the wrongs they may have done us; that all questions of an equivocal and doubtful nature may be amicably compromised, and our just rights be acknowledged and established. At the same time every consideration of honor and safety unites us in the opinion expressed by your excellency, that we ought to be "prepared for war."
If peace cannot be secured without dishonor—if any nation, however formidable, should persist in a course of conduct hostile to our own rights, and injurious to our national honor; the people of Massachusetts will always be ready to join their fellow citizens throughout the U. S. in resisting such aggression. They will cheerfully endure every privation, they will make every exertion and every sacrifice necessary to maintain that national character, which your excellency so justly appreciates. So long as these sentiments pervade the U. S. our national government will not want the means of a vigorous and manly defence of our rights, and we trust they will never think it necessary to abandon all the important interests of commerce as unworthy of protection or incapable of defence.
Your excellency has been pleased to notice at considerable length the embargo imposed by the government in December last, and to remark that "the power of an embargo was exercised under the administration of president Washington without scruple." The embargo to which your excellency alludes was laid at the period when our commerce was suddenly invaded on the ocean, and for a short and limited time. As soon as the merchants were supposed to be properly apprized of the danger, and to have taken measures of precaution, the embargo was removed. But the present embargo was imposed when congress itself possessed no official evidence of new dangers. It has been con-
tinued nearly six months. It would exceed, may it please your excellency, the limits which the house of representatives have prescribed to themselves, to enquire whether a commercial treaty might not have been negotiated with the power most capable of injuring our commerce, or to consider what cause led to the perplexed state of things which induced the government to resort to this distressing expedient; but the house of representatives cannot do justice to the interests or to the feelings of their constituents, without observing, that a long continued embargo imposed under the power to regulate commerce, and with a view of protecting our seamen and vessels, has nearly annihilated our foreign trade. It has restricted the people of the interior, and on the frontiers, from pursuing their accustomed business with the neighboring countries. It has imposed new and we conceive unconstitutional restrictions upon the coasting trade. In fine, it has spread distress through all classes of society, and most deeply affects the interests of this great commercial state. There has been, as your excellency has observed, under the pressure of this public calamity, "an exhibition of tranquility and good order, that could flow from no other source than that of an enlightened understanding, and a pure love of liberty, conducted by law and government." We hope and trust the people of this commonwealth will continue to exhibit a striking example of fortitude & obedience to the laws, so long as the government shall continue these restrictions. We cannot, however, but hope that the policy of our government will be such, as to suffer our merchants and mariners to pursue their accustomed business, leaving those most immediately interested to judge of the hazard.
In answer to your excellency's suggestion that it may be well to enquire, whether it is not with the power of the legislature of this state to ameliorate the condition of the people during the continuance of the embargo, we would reply, that placed in a situation so totally novel, and finding that the distress occasioned by this measure has extended itself to all parts of the commonwealth, we are unable at this time to devise any safe expedient adequate to the object. But if at any time hereafter any such expedient can be devised by your excellency, or either branch of the legislature, it will afford peculiar satisfaction to the house of representatives.
May it please your Excellency, The house of representatives most unequivocally reiterate the opinions expressed by your excellency, that if the European governments shall, in consequence of any difference of opinion which may exist among us, calculate upon making an impression or acquiring an interest unfavorable to our liberties, their hopes will most assuredly terminate in disappointment. "The American nation will not yield its independence or become tributary to any other power." Although they may differ in opinion on unimportant subjects, yet upon the appearance of danger they will instantly unite in defence of the government, their liberties and their country.
FROM THE NORFOLK LEDGER. COMMODORE BARRON'S DEFENCE. [CONTINUED.]
The determination to strike the flag, was not however taken, till every means had been used to ascertain the state of preparation; and till every hope of repelling the attack had vanished. If it had been my design to surrender the ship, without a conflict, I should have done it immediately after the attack. It is however in proof, that, after the firing commenced, I expressed to captain Gordon my determination to defend her, to the last extremity. Captain Gordon was dispatched to the gun deck to accelerate the preparations. How he executed that order he will not tell you; but it is proved by others that he was then informed by the officers of the 2d and 3d divisions, that they were destitute of all means of discharging the guns. He reported this to me on his return; as it was his duty to do. Afterwards he was again sent down with orders to get the guns to work. He will not inform you how he executed this second order; or what was the state of the gun deck, at that time. Other witnesses have however incontrovertibly established the want of every means of discharging the guns at that time. Meanwhile, not relying on the exertions of those whose duty it was, to see the quarter deck guns were supplied, I dispatched officer to the magazine, who after an ineffectual effort, returned without them. Walking to and fro on the quarter deck, and giving the necessary orders, I had from time to
time hailed the gun deck to know if they were ready to fire. It is proved by Mr. Elliot, that he reported to me, that his division was not prepared; and that a similar reply was made from the second division. Of those who heard no such report nor pretend, that to these enquiries any reply was made, authorizing a belief that the ship would shortly be prepared. When captain Gordon, in execution of his last order had been absent for at least five minutes (as appears from the testimony of several witnesses;) finding that not one gun had been discharged, I lost all hope of being able to retaliate on the enemy. Escape was then impossible. No alternative presented itself, but to sacrifice the lives of my crew; or surrender. I adopted the latter. Captain Hall was ordered to go on the gun deck and endeavor to have one gun fired before the surrender. When time had been allowed to execute the order, the colors were struck; the gun was not fired, till a moment afterwards; because there were neither lighted matches, or heated loggerheads in the division; and it was necessary to get a coal of fire from the galley to discharge it.
The framer of these charges, conscious that the state of the ship at the moment of the surrender, justified the act; proposed however to go beyond that period; and represents that in a short time afterwards she would have been prepared to repel the attack. I cannot perceive the justice of that mode of enquiry, which proposes to ascertain the propriety of this measure, not by the actual state of things, at this moment it was adopted; but by their conjectural state, of a future period. I am willing however, that even this course should be pursued.
From the crippled state of the ship at the time no one can doubt, that our eventual capture was then inevitable. Every one will see that many valuable lives would certainly have been sacrificed by the suspension of this measure. This consideration, however, is not enough to justify the surrender, at that moment; if any thing was to be hoped from its suspension. Can any man perceive the slightest foundation for such a hope?
Before I proceed, I must pray you to be guarded against the inference, which might at first view be drawn from the answer to a general question, which, nearly in the same words has been put to several of the witnesses. The question is this: "Were the injuries sustained at that time such as to make the surrender necessary?" The question has been propounded in such a form, that a negative answer would convey to a superficial observer the impression that in the opinion of the witness the surrender was not then necessary. It really, however, conveys only the idea, that "the injuries sustained," did not make a surrender necessary; without expressing any opinion as to the necessity occasioned by the want of means to discharge the guns, or to keep up a fire. The surrender has not been justified merely on the ground that the "injuries then sustained" required it. That consideration indeed had some force; but the great and substantial motive was the total inability to resist. You will perceive the greater necessity of this structure from recollecting, that captain Gordon, who readily gave a negative answer to that question, when propounded by the judge advocate, refused to say, on his cross-examination, whether, from his present knowledge of facts, he did not believe the surrender then necessary. Judge however for yourselves from the facts proved, what would have been gained by suspending the surrender. On the quarter deck, it is proved, that, notwithstanding repeated applications to the magazine, there were at no time, either before or after the surrender, matches, loggerheads, powder horns, cartridges, or wads; and that none of the guns had been loaded with rammers or sponges.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, June 20.
The editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received by the ship Latona a file of London papers to the evening of the 27th of April, (one day later than by any previous arrival) and Lloyd's Lists to the 26th. The papers furnish nothing of greater importance than the following articles:
LONDON, April 27.
Special orders were received at Plymouth, on Sunday night, for all the ships in the bay to prepare for sea immediately. Their destination is supposed to be Rochfort. They were expected to sail this day.
The Morning Star cartel returned on Monday to Plymouth, with seven French men, not being permitted to land them at Morlaix.
The accounts respecting the Rochfort squadron are still various and contradictory. Intelligence, however, has been received that, on the 11th, the united squadrons were seen, by the Apollo frigate, standing towards the Hieres islands, in thick weather, and in a gale of wind, and that they reached the Adriatic about the latter end of February, and had probably joined the Russians at Trieste. On the 9th of March, the united squadrons of lord Cullingwood, admiral Thorneborough and sir R. Strachan were off Maretime, a small island to the west of Sicily; and, it is stated, that his lordship had received information of the course of the enemy's squadrons. Other accounts repeat, that the Rochfort squadron has been seen off the Havana. The great confusion and uncertainty of the accounts that have prevailed upon this subject are probably, in several instances, the consequence of British ships having been mistaken for enemies, and vice versa.
The American merchants have received an official communication of the result of Mr. Rose's mission. It corresponds exactly with the accounts given in this paper. The president refused to recal his proclamation interdicting the entrance of British vessels into the waters of the U. S. altho' Mr. Rose offered all due reparation for the attack on the Chesapeake, which was the cause of that hostile measure. All farther negotiation consequently broke off, without coming to any adjustment; and Mr. Rose's mission has totally failed.
The House of Commons yesterday commenced its sittings after the Easter recess. The petition of the East India Company, for a loan of 2,400,000 pounds, produced some discussion.
A letter from a Spanish port, dated the 6th instant, states, that a deputation of Spanish grandees had been dispatched by the new government to Bayonne, there to communicate to Bonaparte the wish of that government, that the French troops should be withdrawn from Spain.
RAMSGATE, April 25.
This morning three transports sailed from this harbor for the Downs, having on board 460 of the second battalion of the German light infantry that embarked yesterday. The names of the transports are, the Lipwing, Thomas, and Becket and Ridley. This afternoon the remainder of the 2d battalion of German light infantry marched in here and embarked directly. The remainder of this battalion, and likewise a part of the 1st regiment of the line, are expected here to-morrow. The men are embarked very expeditiously, being marched on board on a platform, laid across from the pier to the vessels.
Twenty sail more of transports arrived in harbor this morning. The present order is to send every regiment or division off to the Downs, as soon as embarked; and thus to keep clearing the harbor. Various conjectures are ventured respecting the destination of these regiments.
April 26.
The embarkation goes on very brisk here; captain Raynes, of the Royal Navy, has the chief direction, and pays great attention to the service. The 2d division of the 2d light battalion of Germans, 550 men, that embarked yesterday, sailed for the Downs this morning in three transports, viz. Charlotte, Edward, and Juno. Also 480 men of the first light battalion, embarked yesterday, sailed out of the harbor at same time in the Fanny, Industry, and William & John transports; the whole in high spirits.
The 2d division of the first light battalion arrived here this day; also the first division of the 1st regiment of the line.
German infantry, came in this afternoon, and are now embarking; and if the weather is moderate, will sail to the Downs to-morrow, to join.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 26. ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
Mr. Tierney rose and observed, that as the evidence of the witnesses last examined, upon the orders in council, had only been laid before the members this morning it was impossible for him to go on with the examination of the others, till it had been fully considered; he should therefore propose, 'That the order of the day for the further proceedings relative thereto, which stood for to-morrow, should be discharged, and postponed to Monday next.'
Upon the question being put, this was accordingly agreed to.

Capt. —, off Rappahannack, and after informing where from and where bound, he was ordered to round to immediately & bring his papers on board the gun-boat. He replied that his boat was not in a situation to come on board, but that he would lay to. He was then again positively ordered to come on board the gun-boat, and preparations were made to fire into the schooner. The captain of the gun-boat finding Captain H. could not come on board in his boat, sent an officer on board the schooner in his own, and left him without further enquiry.

Mr. Snodden,
AS a number of cattle in the neighborhood have been lost this season by the Looven , I presume the following will be interesting to some of your readers. It has, within a few days, been published by a gentleman in Richmond, under the signature of T. N. who copied it from one of the last volumes of the British Reperatory of Arts , received from London.

On the dangerous effects of Clover on Cattle —Method of preventing accidents, and approved remedies when they do occur—By M. D. Vincennes.
From the Reperatory of Arts , published in London last year (1807.)
CLOVER is a very substantial food, and cattle will eat it till they burst, of indigestion, if not prevented by care and attention.
We must not confound this indigestion with those sudden swellings, called tympanites , meteorisations , which are followed by immediate death if the animal be not speedily relieved from the air that swells and suffocates it.
It is not the quality of the herb that is hurtful, but simply the quantity of air and water with which it is surcharged, and from which it should be freed before it is given to the cattle.
I have suffered several losses from this cause; but I am certain they have always happened through the inattention of my servants in my absence, and that of my superintendent.
The means of preventing this disorder, are—
First. Never to give this herb in the beginning of the spring before it has acquired a certain degree of strength. When very young it abounds more in air and water (the principal causes of the disorder) besides if too young, it affords but little nourishment to the cattle, and they of course consume a much greater quantity.
Secondly. Always to give it cut the evening before, a little at a time, with management, vigilantly observing whether the animals appears incommoded by it, or begins to swell; never to give it damp, or heated, from heaping it in too great a quantity in the place where it is spread to dry.
Thirdly. The deceased Mr. Gilbert, veterinary professor, known by many excellent works in agriculture, in his work, Sur les Prairies Artificielles , has published the
method by which the postmaster at Lausburg, fed his cattle with clover, without their suffering any inconvenience from it. This was, to make them drink before they eat of the clover, and never to suffer them to drink again until a long time after. I have adopted this method, because I have experienced its success, and have never suffered from any accidents when my servants have conformed to it. I have hay given to my cattle before they are led to drink, or I send them to pasture for a short time first.
When it happens that notwithstanding these precautions, or owing to some mutations, the beasts begin to swell, the following approved remedies must be employed: First. To gag the animal, in order to keep its mouth open, and in this state to make it walk about at a quick rate.
Secondly. To throw pails full of cold water all over its body, in abundance, and with force.
Thirdly. To make him swallow a glass of brandy, in which a large tea spoonful of Nitre (salt petre) has been dissolved. This remedy has always succeeded. I give this quantity to a large beast; to a sheep I give a spoonful of brandy and as much nitre as I can hold in my thumb and fore finger, proportioning the dose to the animal.
Fourthly. Mr. Sonnoni, the elder of the Bibliotheque Physico Economique , affirms in his Journal that one remedy, which he has never known to fail, is to make the animal swallow about a quart of milk. If this remedy is infallible it ought to be known, and it is in the hands of the public.
Fifthly. If it be found that these remedies do not speedily relieve the animal, there is one that is certainly infallible, but it should be only resorted to in the last extremity, and there must be no hesitation. This is to stab the stomach of the beast with the first instrument that is to be met with; then to introduce into the aperture a hollow tube, a piece of elder deprived of its pith will do, and to force the animal to move a little.
In support of this operation, I shall relate a fact that occurred on my own farm. A fine Bull, 3 years old, began to swell in the stable; I was absent, but they tried all the remedies directed; the animal could not walk, and they supported him to prevent his falling and expiring. My superintendent, in despair, recollected what I had told him of stabbing the animal in this case, but not knowing how to perform the operation, thrust a kitchen knife up to the handle, through the loins of the animal's back, near the spine, and introduced a long piece of elder, &c. Immediately the air and a green froth burst forth thro' the aperture in the form of a tunnel of a chimney; and the beast exhibited signs of convalescence.
When I arrived, I was much troubled at his condition, and sent him to M. Gaud, a veteran surgeon at Chermont, who removed my fears, and pointed out to the servant where he should have pierced the skin.
I have related this fact to show how little danger attends this operation even when unskillfully performed. Yet it may do mischief if an essential part is wounded. It is therefore important for all farmers to be acquainted with so simple and easy an operation which is instantaneous in its effects, will not bear delay, and may be also employed to relieve swellings that are not caused by clover, altho' the effect is nothing more than the too great quantity of air and water contained in the herb given to the cattle or in their pasture; for instance, it is known that they should never be sent to pasture, especially in the spring, before the dew is fallen, if we would preserve them from this accident.
Roots also cause these swellings; the turnip and the potatoe, more than the red and white beet roots and the parsnip.
M. Gaud informed me that the stomach of a horse not having the capacity of that of an ox, it cannot be relieved in this manner.
A letter from a gentleman of the first respectability in Halifax, dated May 25, says— "Your Embargo may ruin your own Merchants, and many others; but if it is continued, will make the fortunes of the traders in this province. Every attempt that militates against the general interests of the most self-interested of men, Merchants and traders, will be resisted or eluded; and so it ought to be, in a truly commercial country."
Phil. pap.
Accounts from Halifax state the probability that our embargo will restore more than ten thousand English, Irish, and Scotch seamen, lately employed in our merchantmen to the British navy.

THE MORALIST.
TRANQUILLITY.
TRANQUILLITY is the wish of all the good, while pursuing the track of virtue—the great, while following the star of glory—and the little, while creeping in the styles of dissipation, sigh for tranquillity, and make it the great object which they ultimately hope to obtain. How anxiously does the sailor, on the high and giddy mast, when rolling on tempestuous seas, cast his eyes over the foaming billows, and anticipate the calm security he hopes to enjoy when he reaches the wished for shore! Even kings grow weary of their splendid slavery—and nobles sickened under increasing dignities. All, in short, feel less delight in the actual enjoyment of worldly pursuits, however great and honorable they may be, than in the idea of being able to relinquish them and return to
"Some calm sequester'd spot, The world forgetting—by the world forgot."

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A PAMPHLET AT THIS OFFICE IN A SHORT TIME,  AN ADDRESS TO THE  PEOPLE OF THE U. STATES, ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGING  AGRICULTURE & DOMESTIC MANU-  FACTURES: Tending to show that by a due encourage- ment of these essential interests, the na- tion will be rendered more respec- table abroad and more prosper- ous at home. TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF  The Improvements in Sheep at Ar-  lington, The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large: BY GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. of Arlington House, in the District of Co- lumbia.
AT a time when the energies of the na- tion seem awakened to the state of our for- eign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a con- siderable share of the public discussion. Cer- tain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign af- fairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their sup- port. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare. Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our pro- vince to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands. And as the profits of this work, after the expenses of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and con- fidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.
