Just Published,
FOR SALE BY R. GRAY, A CELEBRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED ABAELLINO, THE BRAVO OF VENICE. Translated from the German, by M. G. Lewis, the well known author of the Castle Spectre, Monk, Adolinda, &c. &c. Price, handsomely bound, one dollar—the English edition sold at one dollar seventy five cents. What black Musician conjures up this fiend? What, do you tremble, are ye all afraid? No, I dare ye not, for ye are mortal, and mortal eyes cannot endure the devil—Aunt, thou dreadful Minister of Hell. RICHARD III. In justice to this excellent Romance, we need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic piece, which for several seasons past drew each full houses to our theatre, is founded on the same subject, as translated by Dunlop; but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's writings or translations in the Romance style, giving so far superior to any other of our modern authors, leaves encomium unnecessary with the publishers. Note. Five editions of this Romance were sold in a very short time, after publication in London—it is dedicated to the Earl of Moira, Lewis. June 7—21

At the celebration of the 4th of July, in Salem, was drunk the following volunteer by Dr. A. Allen:
Brig. gen. Jas. Wilkinson, commissioner of Indian affairs.
I'll tell you my friends a most musical joke, How he learned all the squaws and the Indians to smoke, For in less than one month, by the sun and the stars, They smoked eleven thousand five hundred segars.
Derry down, &c.
And then to be sure, as you'd naturally think, After learning to smoke they were all made to drink; He taught them to walk too, as straight as a line, After drinking four hundred good gallons of wine.
Derry down, &c.
The next thing he taught them, pray hear me repeat, After drinking and smoking he learn'd them to eat, But the worst of all is the story that follows, It cost our great nation fifty-six thousand dollars.
Derry down, &c.
At length by such smoking, and sweatmeats and capers, It gave all the Squaws and Pappooses the vapours; And then he prescribed what you know is the dandy, First bitters, then cordials, then porter and brandy.
Derry down, &c.
Observations on the influence of Soil and Climate upon WOOL; from which is deduced a certain and easy method of improving the quality of English Clothing Wools, and preserving the health of Sheep; with hints for the management of Sheep after shearing: an enquiry into the structure, growth, and formation of wool and hair; and remarks on the means by which the Spanish breed of Sheep may be made to preserve the best qualities of its fleece unchanged in different climates.
By ROBERT BAKEWELL.
With occasional Notes and Remarks, by the RIGHT HON. LORD SOMERVILLE.
[CONTINUED.]
The manner of preparing the ointment in Northumberland is as follows: from sixteen to twenty pounds of butter are placed over the fire and melted, a gallon of tar is then added, and the mixture is stirred with a stick, until the two substances are well incorporated, and form a soft, tenacious ointment. Some skill is required in the application of the ointment, the ignorance of which has prevented the extension of the operation in many places. If the ointment be merely rubbed on the wool, it collects in the top of the staple, attracts and mixes with the soil, and is rather injurious than beneficial to the fleece. The proper method is to divide the staples with one hand, and apply the ointment to the skin with the finger of the other hand, by which means the ointment is kept constantly soft by the warmth of the skin, and is equally diffused through the fleece. Attention to this trifling circumstance, is of the greatest importance to the success of this practice. The quantity of the mixture laid upon the sheep, varies with the size of the animal, and the practice of different farmers. In the lighter mode of greasing, one gallon of tar and twenty pounds of butter will be sufficient for forty-five or fifty sheep. Some piles of fine fleeces from Scotland, which I have lately seen, have been greased in the improper manner here described, by laying the ointment upon the wool, instead of applying it close to the skin: the benefit of the application is thus lost to the wool, and the upper part of the staple rendered useless. An inspection of a few fleeces greased in the best and worst manner, would prove most clearly the advantages of this practice, and how its misapplication might be avoided. It were to be desired that a cheap substitute for tar could be found, because if used in a considerable quantity it communicates a dark
tinge to the fleece, which renders it unsuitable for the brightest dyes, or for those goods which are finished white, as blankets and striped cloths; on which account, I would recommend a quantity of bees-wax to be melted with butter, hog's lard, or olive oil, and if any tar be used, that it should not be in greater proportion than one quart to ten pounds of the mixture. In mild situations, where the sheep are well sheltered from the rain, or where they feed on soils that have neither lime nor chalk, a less tenacious ointment may be used, and tar discontinued as an ingredient in the composition of the unguent.
By substituting wax for tar, the prejudice which exists against greased wools, will be removed in a great degree, and the advantage of the practice obtained. Those who are unwilling to make the experiment fully, might still greatly improve their flocks by a slighter application of a thin ointment of olive oil and butter, immediately after shearing; this would preserve the animal from the effects of sudden exposure to cold winds, and be of essential service to the wool, though it would not produce all the benefit which might be obtained from a more tenacious ointment.
Since the preceding observations occurred to me, I have been informed that several intelligent farmers in the north, have anticipated the recommendation to apply an ointment at such a time to sheep. Immediately after shearing, they rub a small quantity of olive oil on the skin, which is found to be of great benefit, both to the wool and the animal; the application of tar and butter is made at the usual period with increased effect. Here it may be proper to notice an account I have read in the newspapers, that a person in the west of England, had discovered a composition which cured the scab in sheep, and also increased and improved the wool. This was stated to be a mixture of hog's lard, butter and sulphur, applied to the sheep, on which it was to remain three or four days, and then be carefully washed off with salt and water. The proposer of this mixture (which is, in fact, as ancient as the days of Virgil,) seems entirely ignorant of the principle whence the improvement of the wool is derived, and has done what he could to counteract its influence. Sulphur and salt may be efficacious in curing the scab in sheep, but it is the unctuous matter only, that is of service to the wool. By washing it away, he would entirely destroy its effect. It happened however, contrary to his intention, to remain in the wool, for salt and water will not easily combine with animal or vegetable oil, or wash them away from the fleece. To this portion of the ointment thus adhering to the wool, we are to attribute any improvement which it received. It is a circumstance corroborative of the arguments in recommendation of the practice of greasing sheep that those who have given us receipts for the cure of any cutaneous distempers to which sheep are liable, have been generally obliged to mix their drugs, whether metallic oxyds or minerals, with some unctuous matter; and they have almost always informed us that their prescriptions not only cured the disease, but improved the wool. The latter assertion, I believe, was true, nor could it be otherwise, if what I have stated be correct, unless the drugs employed were of a very corrosive nature, and destroyed the softening effects of the ointment.
I have hitherto omitted to notice the improvement which combining wools may receive from this practice. Those acquainted with the different processes of carding and combing, and the difference between the worsted and woolen goods, will not expect that the former will be equally improved with the latter, by having the wool greased. Softness is not the chief excellence of worsted pieces, but fine, even spinning. Some experiments, however, which have been lately made on the finest greased combining wools, have produced a superior top, and yarn, to any ever before made from wool of the native English breed. An intelligent manufacturer also informed me, that combining wools of an inferior quality, when greased, made superior pieces to ungreased wools of the same quality. Formerly he purchased his wools upon the Yorkshire Wolds; since they have been enclosed, and the sheep have had good winter food, and are thereby enabled to resist the severity of the climate, many farmers have discontinued the practice of greasing, which was resorted to, as in other parts of the north of England, merely to preserve the sheep, and which was supposed to make the wool less valuable. This error, the same manufacturer acknowledged he had encouraged; that he might purchase it at a reduced price; but he observed, that were he a farmer in that part of Yorkshire, he should continue to grease his sheep both to preserve them from wet and cold, and to improve the
wool. It is really surprising, that in England, where such great and laudable exertions have been made to improve clothing wools, by a mixture of the Spanish breed with our native flocks, that so little attention has been given to the action of external causes on the unshorn fleece. An opinion has prevailed, that wool and hair have some degree of vitality, and receive nourishment from the circulating fluids of the animal.—This opinion I am well persuaded is erroneous ( Vide Chap. 5. ); and has led to some errors in the management of wool. It has induced many to suppose, that when this substance was produced, no farther care was necessary for its preservation, except such as they were obliged to give it, in attending to the health of their flocks.
In rainy seasons, and on some soils, the yolk is washed away or absorbed faster than it can be re-produced. In such situations, the fleece receives nearly as much injury, as shorn wool would suffer if exposed for a long time in an unwashed state to the action of rain. No person will deny that such exposure must injure or destroy many of the valuable qualities of wool when separated from the back of the animal; yet it is generally expected, that fleeces which during their growth have had no covering or protection, should be as soft and valuable, as those which have been sheltered and defended from the influence of rain, heat and soil.

From the Connecticut Courant.
ON GOVERNING TOO MUCH.
All freemen have a right to manage their concerns in their own way and government should protect them, but not direct, much less obstruct them in the exercise of their callings and occupations. The best government can do very little more toward the prosperity of the people than to afford them general protection from injustice and injury and in the undisturbed employment of their time, talents and property. An industrious and enterprising people possessing great natural advantages both for agriculture and commerce, will prosper and grow wealthy, if they are only protected: and their government how wise and virtuous soever, is not the cause of their prosperity & wealth, directly; for the direct efficient cause is in the people themselves. A wise government is the people's guard, and takes effectual care that there should be none to molest or annoy, none to interrupt them in their lawful callings and pursuits:—thus guarded, there is full scope and also sufficient encouragement given for industry and enterprise. Each individual employs himself as he finds it most for his own advantage, and each, in advancing his own interest by honest industry, adds to the common stock.
A nation resembles a swarm of bees.—The bees must be well hived, protected from external and internal annoyance and injury, and left free as air to make their combs, construct their cells, and labor in hive or field according to their own liking: thus protected and thus free, they seldom fail to treasure up honey. But who makes the honey? Not the guardian of the hive but the bees themselves. So civil government, (by government I mean the administration) a government, I say, that is never so wise and vigilant, is not the direct and efficient cause of a nation's wealth, which is in fact produced by the Great Swarm, the People. On the other hand, should the keeper of bees undertake to dabble in their private concerns, to alter the construction of their cells, to direct or interrupt their labors, or to divert their wonted courses of enterprise into new channels; should he foolishly do this, he would find little or no honey in the hive at the end of the year.—And so again, whenever government is so imprudent as to obstruct or divert the industry and enterprise of the people by hampering them with unnecessary regulations, a decay of public prosperity follows as a natural consequence.
"When Colbert, formerly a celebrated prime minister in France, assembled some wise old merchants of that nation, and desired their advice and opinion how he could best serve and promote commerce, their answer, after consultation, was in these words only, " Let us alone. "—Happy would it be for the world, if its civil governments would observe this apothegm, and let the people alone to advance their individual interests by honest industry and enterprise, as should best suit themselves. Would agriculture thrive, think ye, should government condescend to direct farmers in the management of their farms, by framing for them a multitude of rules and restrictions? Would manufactures thrive if government should lay plans and give directions to manufacturers and mechanics how to pursue the occupations of their several callings?—
Or would the healing art be promoted should physicians be directed to medical prescriptions from the government of the nation?—All would say "N."
Some men, however, seem to think commercial industry and enterprise come under the particular direction of government. But why? On the one hand there are but few among the rulers or legislators of nations who possess extensive information in mercantile matters: on the other, there are no people better how to manage their own than experienced merchants. I know how, when and where, to put property afloat; they can best calculate risks and all the chances of loss and gain. It belongs to government to protect commerce, to guard it by a few general regulations, and there leave it: the skill of the merchant will do the rest. All industry that trade flourishes most, when most free, and that it soon leaves the shackles it.
FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN.
NEGOTIATION WITH FRANCE.
There is too much reason to apprehend that the disaster upon the Danube and the disavowal of Mr. Erskine's acts, have combined in producing the assent of Bonaparte to a negotiation. As far as the formerative has had a tendency, it may be considered as a temporising manœuvre, and the latter has for its basis the expectation of linking us in the war, or, what would be nearly as acceptable, of combining us in the commercial league, which by insulating Great Britain from the intercourse of the world is supposed to be capable of silently working her downfall. That we hear so often repeated the cheering hopes entertained from Bonaparte's late condescension, may be accounted for by the approaching scene of the political year. It is intended to rekindle the zeal of Napoleon's continued partisans, and by inspiring with delusive expectations the credulous part of the community, to promote as forcible a struggle possible to revive the discarded and disgraceful dominion of foreign influence. The public may judge of the fruit to be expected from the negotiation by reflecting upon the insincerity in which, according to every circumstance attending it, it has been commenced.
Mr. Hauterive, a clerk in the office of foreign relations, it is said, is the person appointed to confer with Mr. Armstrong. Of his good will and personal temper towards the United States, we may judge from his conduct in this country, where he resided some 14 or 15 years ago, closely with a subordinate consular appointment. In this capacity, his presumptuous violence upon our sovereign rights, and the local authority, called for his dismissal, and, if we mistake not, his exequatur was revoked by our government. If any favorable result was about to be admitted in our affairs, a person of more dignity, standing and impartiality, would have been named by the French government to discuss the weighty differences which exist.
Since the Berlin decree issued, nearly three years have elapsed, and two years are completed since its open confirmation by the highest tribunals of prize in France. In all this interval nothing like relaxation has been perceived. On the contrary, whenever general Armstrong's hardihood admitted our petitions being carried before the mixed commission, he has given to understand that no indulgence could be expected; that we were in fact at war with England; and that if we wished the plunder he had seized to be restored, we must begin to wage hostilities against her. We may further judge of the probability of his withdrawing his decrees by the treatment of Sweden since her revolution. Peace with that nation has been haughtily spurned by Russia, but upon the indispensable condition of ceasing to trade with Great Britain. It will be admitted that this requisition must have emanated from Paris, and that it may be looked upon as an unequivocal symptom of Bonaparte's perseverance in the old policy. We are on the other hand informed of two or three vessels belonging to this city being received in the Danish port of Tonningen, but it is very doubtful whether their cargoes are not held in deposit; and every account concurs in representing that the Berlin decree will be inflexibly applied to them, if they remain obnoxious to its penalties, by any fact or incident attending their voyage.
The whole extent of Europe is drooping under the distress which flows from the inexorable symptom we allude to, but the tyrant has hitherto remained deaf to the complaints of his subjects and allies. Would he grant to us a relaxation which he denies to them? It would be rash to think so. Any negotiation is going on with this view.

A general Armstrong and Hauserive, I think it never will terminate by an... of safety to our trade with the... dominions. We are on the contrary... to believe, that it has been com-... with a far different purpose. It is... probable, that it will be attempted to... us into new restrictions upon our... commerce with the rest of the world.—... who have attended to the late letters... in France, in which the effect of... trade being left open is traced with the... of an irritable enemy, will be... against any favorable anticipation... the present conferences.

Capt.

Capt. E. further states, that the markets for American produce were good at Lisbon—Flour 12 dollars—corn two dollars—and other American produce equally good.

FOREIGN NEWS.
By the Fair Trader, captain Shackleford, which arrived yesterday morning from Ha-... lifax, we received papers to the 8th instant, and letters to the 10th. The papers contain London dates to July 5, and our letters men-... tion the arrival of the packet on the 9th from Falmouth, on her way to New-York, bringing London intelligence to the 7th.—No paper had been published at Halifax af-... ter her arrival. We have, however, a few articles of intelligence received by her.
A London paper of July 5 had mentioned that "it was said" orders had been given for a general embargo in G. B. and Ireland. But we have not learnt whether the Packet brought intelligence confirming or contra-... dicting this report. From the silence on this point we doubt whether the measure had been taken. But if it were, a motive can be perceived in the near approach of the moment for the sailing of the great expedi-... tion. There could be no reason to consider the measure as taken from hostility to this country.
Since writing the above, we have seen a letter which mentions that the Packet bro't news of the embargo. A gentleman passen-... ger in the Fair Trader, believes she only brought information that the expectation of an embargo continued.
The latest French bulletins received in England were to No. 20. The Mentor, at New York, brought to No. 22.

"The Austrians occupy the bank of the Danube opposite to Presburg, and above and below Vienna—and frequently annoy the e-... nemy.
"There are some hints of overtures for peace between the emperors of Austria and France. Baron Von Vincent is said to be gone to Vienna; and Bonaparte has sent counts Pergen and Zengerndorff to Walvans-... dorff, where the emperor of Austria re-... sides. The Moniteur says, "this circum-... stance has given rise to reports of peace.

The Lady Pelew packet, has just arrived from Falmouth, 29 days. I have yet only seen a London paper of July 6, the English Chronicle. It says, "We stop the press to state, that intelligence to the 30th ult. from Corunna, announces the entire evacuation of Galicia, by the armies under Ney and Soult, whose united forces have been reduc-... ed to 12,000 men. They carried with them 6000 sick and wounded. Thus the port of Ferrol is again delivered from the enemy."

The "Postscript" says, "Letters from Heligoland of the 2d inst. were received yesterday—It was reported, and believed there, at that date, that a further battle, had taken place between the two grand armies near the Danube in which the French were defeated with great loss.
"The new expedition preparing in En-... gland was expected to sail (or be ready to sail) about the 15th or 16th ult. It is stat-... ed to consist of nearly 35,000 men.
"Our collector has just informed me that the clause in the act permitting the Ameri-... can trade to these ports, (Halifax, Shel-... burne, &c.) in American bottoms, having expired with the last session of parliament, a new clause has been passed previous to its expiration, authorising his majesty to per-... mit that trade under certain restrictions, by his order in council, until the year 1812— but, his majesty not having thought proper to renew his order in council to that effect, the trade to these ports in American bot-... toms could no longer be permitted here."
From a London Paper, July 7.
Yesterday, Mr. Jackson, his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-... potentiary to the United States of America, took leave of his Majesty previous to leav-... ing England.
From English Papers received at Halifax. From the Austrian Imperial Head-quarters, WOLVENDORF, June 12.
His majesty the emperor of Austria has received the following report, by a courier who was despatched from Inspruck the 31st of May:
"After field marshal lieut. Chasteler, who commanded in Tyrol, had marched to Lienz, in Pasterdale, in order to attack the Italian army, which was advancing against Styria and Cariotha, with part of his corps, the Austrian major general Buol remained, with part of the 7th corps, in the strong po-... sition at the foot of the Brenner mountain in the Lueg, in order to cover South Tyrol from the attacks of Bavarian troops, who had entered Inspruck.
While the inhabitants of the town of In-... spruck and Hall were laying down their arms in order to relieve their districts from the calamities they suffered, fresh assem-... blages of armed peasants were formed in the vale of the upper Inn, as well as the Lech, and in Vinsgau, with the assistance of Tei-... mer, as in the dale of the Lower Inn and the Wipp, chiefly by the well known Sand-... worth and andura Holes, who commands the fusiliers; and as early as the 27th May, the former arrived with 2000 men, in the environs of Schonberg and maj. Teimer with a large number in Telf. Schonbergh is situ-... ated 3, and Telf 5 hours march from In-... spruck.
On the 28th, an action took place with the Bavarian troops, from 6 to 8000 strong and an armistice was concluded for twelve hours. The Bavarians had evacuated In-... spruck, but were overtaken near Voup, where another conflict was fought. Ac-... cording to the same account, the imperial Austrian troops are making inroads from the southern part of the Tyrol, as far as Verona.

MONTGOLFIER'S
HYDRAULIC RAM IMPROVED.
Messrs. Cerneau & Hallet have exhibited this morning, at Mr. Rhodes's Washington hotel, an experiment with an hydraulic ram of 2 inches in diameter. The artificial fall [they procured for want of a natural one] was 5 feet high, the altitude of ascension 38 feet. In three minutes the quantity of wa-... ter employed to move it has been 24 galls. and the quantity raised above two galls.; so that in the same circumstances it would yield above forty gallons an hour, and if of a larger diameter, in proportion. This valua-... ble machine being put in motion by a fall of water, does not require any more assistance or attendance, & is almost free from friction and consequently from repair; is by its cheapness applicable to many cases where other hydraulic machines could not be ad-... mitted. It has proved in France very be-... neficial in irrigation of lands and mea-... dows, various branches of manufactures, improvement of country seats, and supply of water to towns and cities.
Messrs. Cerneau & Hallet having obtain-... ed a patent for their own improvement on the much esteemed and very ingenious in-... vention of Mr. Montgolfier, intended to ex-... hibit and to dispose of their rights to any applicants, who may apply therefor to them—No. 91, Cherry Street, New York.
P. S. According to advertisement, an ex-... periment has taken place yesterday afternoon
in Mr. Hunter's ship yard, in presence of a number of gentlemen with the same ma-... chine; the head of water was 6 feet, the al-... titude of ascension 42 feet. In four minutes the waste of water has been 5310 Cubic inch-... es, and the water raised 403 Cubic inches.

Picture of Vienna under the French.
VIENNA, June 7.
To relieve the inhabitants of this city, a part of the French troops have been placed in barracks.
Provisions every day become more scarce. Flesh, bread and other victuals; even tobacco is become very scarce. The city guard is hardly able to keep the populace in order, who crowd around the butchers, bakers and wherever eatables are purchased. The great agitation prevails every where, and several thousands of individuals are without the means of support. The bankers, who commonly held their meetings in St. Stephen's square, have been dispersed by the cavalry, and they have been prohibited, on pain of severe punishment, from assembling together.
The inhabitants have been ordered to deliver up all their arms and ammunition.—All fowling-pieces, too, have been given up.
Notwithstanding the great number of wounded in the hospitals and other build-... ings, we have not heard of any infectious disorders.
The following publication was on the 28th of May posted in this place:—
The arrival of supplies of flour and grain being, under the present circumstances, attended with unavoidable difficulties, per-... sonalities have of late arisen to procure the rations, as well as the public at large, with sufficient flour and corn. (But the most effectual arrangements having already been made to supply the deficiency) the public are not only hereby made acquainted with the said consolatory information, but also cautioned from untimely anxiety not to carry their claims on the trading part of the community to any exorbitant height, and thus to transmute any imaginary evil into a real one, nor disturb the public tranquility and order by violent proceedings. On this account, moderate allowances are for the present only delivered by the trade's people to the different parties; and disturbers of the public peace shall be punished with the utmost rigor warranted by law.

Fifty Dollars Reward.  RAN AWAY , from the subscriber, living in Prince-George's county, Maryland, near the Woodyard, about the first of September last, a Negro Man , named GUY , about thirty years of age, about six feet high, tolerable well made, is very black, his cheek bones are tolerable high, speaks quick and pert, has no mark as I know of by which he can be more particularly described. It is needless to give a description of his cloaths as what few he took with him must be worn out. I have been informed he has frequently been seen in Alexandria in the course of last winter and spring, and passed by the name of BUTLER , as a free man. It has since been reported he is dead, but I doubt it, as I cannot find from whence the report originated. Should he not be dead, any person that will secure him in any jail so that I get him again, shall receive the above reward, and if brought home all reasonable charges.

Domestic Manufactures. THE subscriber proposes erecting at the Centre Mills, near Alexandria, a Machine for carding Wool , and expects to have it ready to run by the 30th of the present month. It will card the wool and form it into rolls for the spinning wheel, or into batts for hatters, or other purposes. The advantage of having wool prepared by these machines for the purpose of manufacturing into yarn over that which is carded by hand, is generally acknowledged, as being the cheapest and most perfect in its operation. Those persons who may incline to give encouragement to this establishment, may depend on the utmost punctuality as to time and unremitted attention in the execution of the work. The wool when carded into rolls will be packed in such manner as to preserve it in the most perfect state for spinning, and may be transported any reasonable distance without injury. Wool, sent to the carder, must be clean washed, clear of burs, small sticks or other extraneous matter, and asorted in such manner as may suit the owner; and each quality shall be kept separate. The expence of carding will be eight cents for that which is made into rolls, and five cents for batts per lb. payable at the time of delivering, or payment will be received in wool of good quality at 40 cents per pound, as may suit the convenience of the owner.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your fine cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap or hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after using a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
