Navigation of the Ohio.
NOTWITHSTANDING I believe that in most seasons of the year a sufficient stream of water may be obtained in the canal upon the plan I have mentioned, to carry vessels of considerable bulk through the falls, yet I am aware of the fatal effects of long and very dry spells of weather. It is not possible that any system of canalizing, could entirely obviate this casual inconvenience. It may, however, be rendered less embarrassing by the adoption of proper means.
A very short distance above Louisville, the waters of Bear-Graft Creek, enter into the Ohio. A canal cut from the bed of the creek, so as to intersect with the grand canal along the Kentucky shoot, will be a means of replenishing it with water, when it cannot be done from the river itself, in such a bulk as to enable large vessels to pass. It must be recollected, that in times of very dry spells, when the waters in the river are very low, there is much more probability of procuring water from the creek than the river. A temporary rain of a few days may raise the waters in the creek, when it may not make the smallest impression on the current of the river. This idea is suggested merely to obviate any inconvenience that may result to our navigation from such excessive dry spells, as keep down the waters of the river; as well as to ascertain the probability of our being enabled to surmount most of the natural impediments to our commerce, by ingenious and well devised artificial means. Most of those astonishing canals that run in various directions through the south of France, are supplied from springs, lakes & other constant reservoirs of water. The body of water in the large navigable rivers which those canals are designed to connect, like the Ohio, is subject to frequent fluctuations, by drought. In this case, the springs and lakes in the neighborhood, keep up such a constant supply of water as to secure the ordinary channels of commerce from obstru- tion.
A canal of this description might be converted into other useful purposes, independent of a mere auxiliary to facilitate navigation. Upon its banks, by ingenious diversifications of its waters, at seasons when they were not required in the main canal, there might be constructed a variety of the most valuable water works; such as mills for the manufacture of flour; for shaping out plank, scantling and timber for houses and ship-building; machinery for twisting cordage of various descriptions, and for conducting forges and nail factories.
When I cast my eyes to the old world, and view the astonishing means that have been adopted to a bridge the labour of man; when I perceive that the aid of all the elements have been brought in, to aid upon mechanical ingenuity with the most wonderful effect, and that among those elements the highest operations of art, are produced by the agency of water, I cannot hesitate in believing that the falls of the Ohio affords a natural position susceptible of the most useful artificial improvements that can be conceived. The large curve described by the natural course of the river at this place, so favorable to the canalizing system; the extensive navigation for the largest vessels above and below it; its central situation in the bosom of a country unrivaled in fertility, and productive of every material by which art can be diversified in a thousand shapes, for the convenience of human life—all point out the high destiny of this spot, and seem to indicate that nature had here opposed its greatest impediments, to excite the ingenuity of man for the wildest purposes.
I have no certain data by which I can calculate the expense that might attend our canalizing operations at the falls; and shall, therefore, make no estimate on the subject, that might lead to erroneous conclusions. This plan must be settled by an actual survey of the position that is to be acted on, and by such legislative arrangements as may seem best adapted to carry the scheme into effect.
I will simply remark, however,
that the expense attending our canalizing operations, through the body of a rock, may be ultimately less, or not much greater, than what attends the same operations through a bed of marl or clay, where no rocks are to be removed. In the plan I have suggested, it is true that the expense of gun powder and iron instruments, will make a considerable portion of the necessary fund. But every blast will have the two-fold effect of creating, by degrees, a solid stone wall on each side of the canal, and of furnishing materials on the spot, to elevate those walls to a given height and thickness. Here the expense of blowing the rock, where materials are at hand, would otherwise have been equalled by the expense attending the purchase from a neighbouring quarry, the labour of quarrying and the carriage from the quarry to the canal. It is to be observed, that in all canals, dug through any kind of moveable earth, it is absolutely necessary to wall up the sides with stone, to prevent the canal from filling up by the attrition of the current on the sides. In this case, very considerable expense is incurred by the purchase and carriage of the stone; and by that vast amplification of labour, which is necessary in this country, where the accomplishment of one object is divided into the hands of different classes of workmen. Upon the whole, if the expense attending these different positions for artificial navigation, be accurately estimated, it will be found very nearly equal. Our position, therefore, at the falls, should not frighten us into the idea, that the attempt would prove, in the end, either fallacious, or inordinately expensive. Much greater plans have been carried into effect, amidst insurmountable difficulties, and with pecuniary means, not much inferior to those which could be called into operation, by a wise and prudent diversification of our energies.
ARISTIDES.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) Sept. 10. TERRIBLE STORM!!!
As public journals, it becomes our duty to record one of the most calamitous and distressing events which has occurred since the settlement of Charleston. We have endeavored to state the particulars with as much accuracy as the present state of the city will permit... and where the account is found not to be strictly correct, it must be ascribed to its proper cause. In some cases we have been compelled to rely on the statements of others, although they are given as our own.
About ten o'clock on the evening of Friday last, it commenced blowing a heavy gale from N. E. which continued during the night. The wind moderated about five o'clock on Saturday morning... but at seven came on with redoubled force, and continued to increase until twelve o'clock, when it blew with tremendous violence and fury; nor did it in the least decrease until ten o'clock the same evening, when the wind shifted round to the S. E. It still, however, blew with great violence until 1 o'clock on Sunday, accompanied at intervals with heavy showers of rain.
Twelve o'clock on Saturday was the period of high water, at which time the tide had risen several feet higher than the usual spring tide; after which it began to ebb, and about six o'clock in the evening it had fallen a little more than two feet; as this ebb was so incon- siderable, it was feared that the next flood would be much higher than the former; but on the contrary it continued to fall, and was not as high on Sunday morning at one o'clock, the time of high water, as it was the evening before at 6 o'clock, the period of low water.
The following summary of the damages sustained by this gale, is hastily drawn up:
In the city, a number of large trees are torn up by the roots—almost every slated house is in part unroofed; and a number of fences blown down.
Gen. Gadsden's wharf has sustained considerable injury—Several wooden floors are blown down and washed away, and their contents, about 250 barrels of rice, and a quantity of cotton, much damaged, and a great part lost. A brig lying at this wharf, rode out the storm with little damage. To form an estimate of the loss sustained by Gen. Gadsden, at present, is impossible—it has however been stated to us as little short of fifteen thousand pounds.
Mr. Pritchard's wharf has also sustained considerable damage, and a ship which he had built for the convenience of repairing ships, is, we are told, driven away.
Mr. Wey's wharf has fortunately escaped with little damage, nor do we learn that any vessels lying there have received serious injury.
Mr. Williams's wharf is much injured by the driving of the vessels against its sides. The ship Diana is left with her stern resting on the wharf; and the four Rising Sun driven into the dock with damage—a pilot boat schooner is also sunk along side of the wharf.
Governor's Bridge. The east front of the wall is broke down in several places—a small building on the outside blown down—and the new drain recently built from Church-street to the Bay, totally destroyed. The brigs Norfolk and Unanimity of this port, the schooner Mary of Wilmington, and a small coaster, driven against the bridge, and much injured.
Mr. Paul Pritchard's wharf, together
with that of Mr. Ham, has felt the effects of the gale. The Schooner Mary is sunk at the latter wharf.
Mr. Faber's wharf has been considerably damaged—the head and sides much injured. The sloop Favorite, Deyburs sunk; the ship Haiyon, Manly, nearly loaded for Bordeaux, so much injured, as to render it necessary to take out her cargo: two Schooners driven up, and left with their bows on the wharf—and the ship Middleton closely jammed between that and Mr. Keith's wharf, where the ship Columbus, taking in a cargo for Bordeaux is sunk. Considerable loss will be here sustained by the drifting off of lumber.
Mr. Prisolou's wharves are much injured. The east end of Fifth Market carried away, and the foundations shaken. The brig Concord, Oldridge, of Providence, with about 50 tierces of Rice, bulged and her stern parted. The Schooner Republican of Baltimore left on the wharf. The sloop Two Sisters at Newport, lost her mast, and several coalers, Schooners and wood boats, driven up and jammed in the dock.
Mrs. Cochran's wharf, the head nearly washed away—several small vessels jammed in the dock, and much wood & lumber lost.
Mr. Blake's wharf much damaged, the ship Lydia, Hayward, driven high up in the dock, and a brick building used as a scale house, beat down by her bow-sprit.
Mr. Champey's wharf has sustained considerable injury—several small vessels are jammed up in the dock.
Mr. Beale's wharf has suffered considerably—a Spanish brig, is left dry on the wharf—the ship Africa driven high up in the dock—some small vessels severely shattered, and several of the stand boats broken to pieces.
Mr. Craft's wharves, particularly the fourth one, very much injured—the Spanish sloop Montserrat sunk, the ship Mary lost her bow-sprit, and is otherwise very much injured—the Birmingham Packet lost her rudder—the brig Amazon also lost her rudder—the Schooner Orange left with her bows on the wharf, and several other vessels driven into the dock and severely shattered.
Gen. Vanderhorst's wharf has, comparatively, sustained but little damage—the brig Favorite, of Rhode-Island, from Africa, is gone to pieces.
Mr. Geyer's wharves have severely felt the effect of the storm—The African ship Christopher sunk at the head of the wharf; and the negroes taken out with much difficulty—Several other vessels are much shattered and jammed up in the docks.
Col. D'Oyley's wharf is almost torn to pieces—The brig Thomas, Bishop, much injured in her upper works and sheathing.
New East-Bay, which, since the gale in October 1800, has been repaired at a great expense, is again destroyed: the sea made clear breaches through it, and rushing into Water-street, and the adjacent parts, compelled the inhabitants to quit their houses, in the lower stories of some of which the water was 14 feet higher than it was ever known since the hurricane of 1752; and several feet higher than the usual spring tides—the whole of Water-street was covered, and in Meeting-street it was nearly two feet in depth. The public loss in the destruction of East-bay-street is considerable; nor do we suppose that ten thousand pounds will repair the damages.
South Bay, presents a scene of ruin and desolation. The whole of the bulk-work, from Meeting-street to McKen- zie's wharf is washed away, a two story house, belonging to Mr. Veitch, built on made ground, some little distance from the street, was washed down, and we believe all the furniture swept away—A large brick warehouse of Mr. Williams was also blown down, and his wharf considerably damaged. The tide rose so high, that most of the inhabitants quit their houses, and took shelter in a more central part of the city—Two or three small coasting vessels were driven to pieces.
The brig Venus, loaded for New-York; and the Sully, Spooner, for Bordeaux, are driven ashore on James-Island; the Danish ship Frametta drifted from her anchorage, and is ashore on the marsh opposite Williams's wharf—The Schooner Eliza-Ann upset in Ashley River about two o'clock on Saturday, and her crew remained on the wreck until 7 o'clock the next morning. Several small vessels are said to be ashore in Ashley River.
Sullivan's Island. Very great anxiety prevailed in the city during the gale, for the fate of the persons on the island—it was feared that not a house would have escaped the storm; nor was it until noon of yesterday that a boat could venture to their relief. The accounts we have received from that quarter, are however more favorable than we expected. About twenty houses were either blown down, or their foundation undermined and washed away. The inhabitants had fortunately resorted to the lighthouse, Barracks, and other parts of the island not immediately exposed to the fury of the waves; and we are happy to say that only one life was lost—a black boy. The storm was so violent that nothing could be saved from the houses destroyed, and every article they contained was washed away with the buildings. The situation of a number of families was truly distressing. In many cases women and children alone occupied the house, who were unable to help themselves, and but for the prompt assistance afforded by several gentlemen on the island, they must have perished. Several houses which have stood the gale, we are told owe their security to large beds of sand which were driven against them, and formed a rampart—Some of the finest buildings are destroyed. A number of gentlemen, who were on the island have expressed to us as their firm conviction, that had the tide continued to rise half an hour longer, not a single building would have been left standing. From Fort Moultrie, near which the sea made a breach, to
the cove, every spot was covered with the water.
Fort Johnson, which has long been in a tottering state, we are told is now destroyed, nor can a single cannon be mounted—the buildings are also much injured.
Fort Pinckney. The breast work and palisades of this fort are washed away, and unless prompt repairs are made, it is supposed the walls of the fort will be endangered.
From the country we have but imperfect accounts—all the bridges between this and Jacksonborough are carried away, and so many trees have been blown down across the roads, that the passage, it is apprehended, will not be able to travel for several days. We are told by a gentleman who came in yesterday, that all the cotton plants along the road for many miles, are destroyed—the rice fields were so completely covered with water, that it could not be ascertained what damage the banks have sustained.
In the vicinity of the city, the gardens have sustained considerable injury—the fences were blown down—large trees torn up by the roots; and the vegetation appears blasted with the salt spray—several small buildings, stables, &c. are also thrown down, among which a range on Washington course, occupied during the races as public houses, are levelled.
But few lives were lost in the pale—a canoe with four negroes was upset in Ashley river, and three of the negroes drowned. A negro fellow was also killed by the falling of Mr. Veitch's house.
THE PARTNERSHIP
LATELY existing under the firm of ASHTON & STOUT, is this day dissolved by mutual consent. All those having any demands against said firm, are desired to come forward and present their accounts to John W. Stout for settlement; and those any wife indebted, are requested to make immediate payment to the same.
JOHN W. STOUT, RICHARD ASHTON. Lexington, October 3, 1804.
Said STOUT returns his thanks to his old customers for past favours, and informs them that he still carries on the business of
COACH MAKING & TRIMMING, HARNESS MAKING, PAINTING, POLISHING, and GILDING,
IN the neatest manner at the late stand of Ashton & Stout; where the business is conducted by the old hands, with the assistance of one just from Philadelphia. He expects in a short time a large and elegant
Assortment of Materials;
And is confident that if neat workmanship and reasonable prices, will entitle him to a continuance of their favours, he will merit them.

LEXINGTON, OCTOBER 9. DIED, on Saturday last, Mrs. FRANCES SCOTT, consort of General CHARLES SCOTT, of Woodford county. This amiable woman has left a great number of respectable connections and friends to mourn her loss. In all the relations of wife and mother she was distinguished by the kindest manners, and most endearing deportment. In that of a neighbour, great benevolence of disposition marked her conduct through life. —Also, on the same day, ELENOR LEAVY, infant daughter of William Leavy of this town. Death aims his dart, & on the ag'd & young The fatal shaft is fix'd; and all our hopes Are but the transient meteors of an hour.
On the 24th ultimo, Dennis Lynam, a free Negro of Fleming county, was stabbed with a knife, by James Flanagan of Clarke county, which caused his immediate death.
ON Thursday last, arrived in this town, the celebrated pedestrain and itinerant preacher, Lorenzo Dow. This extraordinary character, is a native of New-England—He set out early in life to preach the Gospel—He has travelled on foot through most of the states in the union, and a considerable part of Europe. He refuses to receive money, or any other compensation, except a sufficiency of food and cloathing to make him comfortable. In Virginia he held "camp meetings," which were numerously attended. In his preaching he displays considerable ingenuity; and by his gestures and expressions, possesses a peculiar facility of catching the attention of his audience. He pretends to have a knowledge of futurity; and has, in this place, predicted the death of several females, some of whom appear much alarmed. That a man should be suffered thus to destroy, with impunity, the repose of the credulous, is to be lamented; but that he should be taken into the bosom of those who profess the religion of Jesus, is truly astonishing. His greatest admirers must know, that he is either a fanatic or a wilful deceiver. In either case, the consequence of his prophecies to persons of weak nerves, must be dreadful—The intimate connection between the body and the mind is such, that the health of the one depends upon the other. A depression of spirits, consequently, must produce an effect on the corporeal system. And for a person who does not possess a strong mind, to be seriously told by a popular preacher, who professes to read in the book of future events, that he should not remain more than a month an inhabitant of this world, is at once to sap the foundation of his happiness, and might generate some disease, which would, in reality, accomplish the awful prediction.
IT having been asserted that the Hon. John Brown intended declining as a Candidate at the next election, for Senator to Congress, he is authorised to state that he will again serve his country in that capacity if elected. Mr. Brown has served the state of Kentucky in Congress ever since its existence.—We have not heard of his aspiring to any thing higher than the Representative of a free people during that time; and we believe no objection has been made to any part of his conduct. We shall not attempt to detract from the Candidates who offer in opposition to Mr. Brown—we highly esteem them. But to choose either of them in preference to that gentleman, would be the most unwarrantable departure from principle that could be adopted by our Legislature. Where is the stimulus to virtuous conduct in a representative, if it does not ensure the confidence of his constituents? Already has the attention of our sister states been directed towards Kentucky—Already has the idea of the existence of a third party in this state, strong in numbers, been entertained in the other states. It now remains with our legislature to confirm this suspicion, or by a re-election of Mr. Brown at once remove it. It should be a maxim, or rule of conduct among the people in a republican government, never to change a faithful servant, for one whose fidelity has not been tried under all the circumstances of a similar situation. If the exchange is made, they should be well assured that it is for one whose talents are more distinguished whose principles are undoubted, and whose integrity has never been impeached. We say nothing on this head respecting the Candidates who offer for the Senate of the United States, in opposition to Mr. Brown. They are men of considerable respectability and standing in society. But that any man has deserved the same confidence of
the people of Kentucky as he who has from the earliest date of our political existence, been uniformly ready to his duty, whose principles are truly republican and whose demeanour in our Councils has been respectable, is a circumstance that should be weighed in the scale of prudence and decided on with as few personal prepossessions, or sinister motives, as possible. The features that have marked the public character of Mr. Brown, are highly meritorious. Not a whisper has been heard to reproach him with an inordinate ambition, or with one single act, repugnant to the spirit of our Constitution or the safety of the people. We have never had occasion from any degree of jealousy, to watch over his actions. If these are facts, to change him for a character who has never been tried in the same scenes of political prowess, would be to evince to the world a degree of versatility and fickleness which a wise people should never descend to. It would be virtually opposing the great maxim in all Republican Governments, that merit alone should meet with its just reward. It would discourage every firm perseverance in virtue; and place the base intriguing character upon a perfect equality with the man of principle.
It is to be earnestly hoped that the Legislature will consider these things, & not commit their decision on this subject, to the censure of the world. As a portion of the Union which is rapidly rising from obscurity into notice, it will be our duty to impress every public act with the stamp of justice; to adhere to principle in all our deliberations, to act from the propriety of the case, more than from prejudice, and to give our character the semblance of dignity and wisdom, by doing nothing that may in the least tarnish its purity.
Extract of a Letter to the Editor, dated RICHMOND, (K.) Sept. 26, 1804.
DEAR SIR, OBSERVING in your paper of the 18th inst. a very incorrect account of an uncommon collection of bees, in this neighbourhood. I send you herewith a true statement of this singular occurrence—I am enabled to do this, partly from my own knowledge, and partly from the information of the gentleman at whose house it took place.
Mr. Benjamin Clarke lives about a mile or a mile and a half north-west of this, and has about eight or ten swarms of domestic bees that appear to be doing well—On the evening of Thursday the 30th of August, a swarm of bees came and settled near his house—next morning, Friday the 31st, swarms of bees came from different quarters—they very soon united in one body, settled on a limb of the nearest apple tree to Mr. Clarke's house and began a warfare with his bees, and apparently with each other—in the course of this day, fourteen swarms collected, making with the one on the preceding evening fifteen—Next day Mr. Clarke was from home part of the day—while he remained, six swarms joined the main body—His family informed him, several came in his absence, supposed to be about four or five—on Sunday, one swarm joined the others, and another passed near the house, but did not stop—Frequent attempts to put the swarms as they came, separately in hives, were made—they generally went in, staid a short time, and then left the hive. This was repeated with the main body, by putting them in a barrel on Friday and Saturday, but with no better success—the same was done with the last swarm that came—They uniformly left their hives, and settled on the same limb of the apple tree. Frequent attempts to drive them from the limb, by shaking the tree, and by other means, were made, but they would not be driven from their habitation, and settled again—They continued their warfare with Mr. Clarke's bees, during all the time they remained there—but were themselves, so rapidly destroyed, that the ground under and near them, and in front of Mr. Clarke's house, was covered with the dead—On Sunday they were reduced to the bulk of two or three swarms, though none were seen to go off—Late on that evening they were put in a hive, and the limb cut off—as soon as they went in, they were tied journey the whole space he has in all his ascensions run through, he might not only have been able to give us news concerning the inhabitants in the planet of Jupiter. Blanchard's power to fraternize with those in the planet of Jupiter. Blanchard's that it can without danger ascend with nine persons, not heavier than himself, which was proved on the 6th of July, when four young ladies and four young gentlemen ascended with him, and danced a quadrille in the
air, 1500 hundred feet from the earth; an event which never had before taken place. The dance continued for a quarter of an hour, when two of the ladies and one of the gentlemen were taken ill, which obliged him to descend. They were however, all well enough to appear at the Theatre, in the evening, where they were received with repeated applause. It is said, that upwards of sixty candidates have presented themselves for another ball in the air. (Journal de Paris.)
A SUBSCRIBER. To cure any of the common Fevers in America.—As soon as the person is seized by a fever, let him take a puke or purge—Two grains of tartar for a purge, or five pills of white walnut bark as large as garden peas for a puke. Work off the puke with warm water. Take a large handful of wild cherry-tree bark, put it in a basin and pour boiling water on it, with which, work off the purge. Then going to bed, take a table spoon full of flour of sulphur in sweet milk; and next morning a tea spoon full, and another at night. The food should be fresh chicken broth, low seasoned—milk must be abstained from—weak tea of cherry-tree bark, is best for common drink. All persons are forewarned from making any charge for using this receipt. D. M. It is said here that the dispatches of the Spanish court, which the ambassador has received, and with which he is gone to Washington, are of such a nature that our executive must give up the whole or great part of their demands on Spain, or try the force of our gun boats, which it is said are and were originally intended for an expedition to West-Florida.—N. Y. Chron. A GOOD ONE!!! It is reported that Mr. Jefferson has been insulted in the most audacious manner by Bonaparte, in a letter in his own hand writing, in which he blames him, for not preventing his brother Jerome from marrying a woman so far below him in rank and fortune, and permitting the American merchants to supply Deficiencies, and the republic of Hayti with arms, ammunition and provisions. Lon. Pap. From an article which appears in a Halifax paper, it seems evident that Napoleon has taken great offence with his brother Jerome Bonaparte, for having married an American lady without his consent. A letter, said to be official, states, "that the emperor has ordered his brother's allowances to be stopped; that the young woman with whom he has connected himself will not be permitted to enter the French territories—and that should she even arrive at any port in France, she will be immediately re-shipped to the U. States." This letter was intercepted on board a vessel bound from Bordeaux to New-York, and no doubt is entertained of its authenticity. How anti-republican, how unfeeling is the conduct of Napoleon in this affair! His haughty and imperious spirit cannot brook the idea of being connected, even through the medium of a brother's marriage, with the daughter of a merchant, however respectable and worthy the one—however accomplished and amiable the other. To many this young woman is, in Jerome, a crime of the first magnitude; a crime which cuts off his "allowances," and virtually banishes him from the empire of France; for we cannot suppose him capable of abandoning his lady to gratify the cruel caprice, or rather pride, of a despotic brother.—N. Y. D. Ad. LONDON, July 30. At Vienna the French minister is thwarted by all the diplomatic agents, except those of Prussia and Spain, and the Russian ambassador has declined to return his repeated visits. Since the departure of count Markoff from Paris, the Russian minister's at the several continental courts have been ordered to drop all intimacy and connection with the diplomatic agents of Bonaparte. August 11. A LETTER from Berlin, of the 28th ult. says, that "with two Russian armies on his eastern & northern frontiers, and three French armies on his western and southern, the King of Prussia has declared to the Courts of St. Peterburgh and St. Cloud, that his Majesty intends to preserve the strictest neutrality, and therefore will not permit the passage of any troops, artillery or ammunition through his dominions; but regard as an enemy, any power attempting to force such passage." General Moreau was still at Barcelona in the middle of July, where he had been joined by his lady. EXPL. BALL.—The famous zero point, Blanchard, is now at Marseilles, where in a balloon of new composition, he has with success made his sixty-sixth ascension. Citizen Lalande has calculated, that if Blanchard had travelled in one single journey the whole space he has in all his ascensions run through, he might not only have been able to give us news concerning the inhabitants in the planet of Jupiter. Blanchard's power to fraternize with those in the planet of Jupiter. Blanchard's that it can without danger ascend with nine persons, not heavier than himself, which was proved on the 6th of July, when four young ladies and four young gentlemen ascended with him, and danced a quadrille in the
air, 1500 hundred feet from the earth; an event which never had before taken place. The dance continued for a quarter of an hour, when two of the ladies and one of the gentlemen were taken ill, which obliged him to descend. They were however, all well enough to appear at the Theatre, in the evening, where they were received with repeated applause. It is said, that upwards of sixty candidates have presented themselves for another ball in the air. (Journal de Paris.)
BOSTON, September 18. On Saturday last arrived at this port, the ships Sally, from Liverpool, and Gaten, from London. We received papers to Aug. 11. The prospect of war between Russia and France appears to have increased. That Russia had not recognized the emperor, Napoleon; that she had demanded an explanation relative to the seizure of the duke of Enghien on neutral territory; that this subject, notwithstanding the endeavors to have it passed over, is agitated in the diet of Ratisbon; that there is neither a French minister at Peterburgh nor a Russian minister at Paris; and that language far from conciliatory has been addressed to the Russian court by order of Bonaparte—is certain. And on this subject the foreign papers abound in reports. The most important are, that the agent of Alexander, at Paris, had offered an ultimatum to the court of St. Cloud, and desired that his passports might be sent with the answer if not favorable; and that a Russian fleet had been sent into the North Sea. These rumours had greatly depressed the French funds.

WOMAN. WHEN Nature own'd th' almighty's hand, When planets roll'd at his command, And fenciless clay in man was warm'd, The last great work, then unperform'd, Was woman.
To soothe his woes, his cares to share, And thus his pristine loss repair; 'Twas surely Heaven's kind design, That man unto his side should join A woman.  A woman's tears, a woman's sigh, The magic of a woman's eye, Her mild and gentle accents prove, The joys allied to wedded love, And woman.  To weave the silken cobweb fine, With syren song allure the eye, With charms refines the rule the heart, Of happy lovers, is the art, Of woman.
When vex'd with busy toils of day, To ease, the tired man gives way; With converse sweet the hour beguiles, Repeals dull care with placid smiles Of woman.  What seems to plough the stormy main Or roam to distant climes for gain? What prompts the willing hand to toil, But beauty's weakness, beauty's smile— But woman?
When journeying on with weary pace, To meet again the fond embrace, What eases the way worn travellers gloom, But thoughts of long regretted home, And woman?  When pensive grief bends o'er the grave, To weep the friend it could not save; And silent tears on friendship's bier, The tribute of a falling tear, Is woman's.  And when affliction's mournful tale, Or sorrow's notes her ears assail; O! how she escapes the rising sigh, A glis'ning tear bedews the eye Of woman.
"Trifles, light as air." A Mr. Wyman who was famed For nothing but stupidity and indolence, as he was going from home one day, was desired by his wife, not to be gone from home so much. "She was afraid to be left alone." "Poh," said he, "Nought is never in danger." "I know that," said she; "but Nought's wife is."
