NEW-YORK, June 24.
Very late and Important.
The ship Hanton, capt. Dolan, arrived at this port yesterday in the short passage of 35 days from Cork.
By this vessel the editors of the New-York Gazette have received Cork papers to the 14th May containing London dates of the 9th.
The Osage arrived in England the 30th of April from France. Of the reception of our demands on the French government will be detailed below. Bonaparte, it seems, has absolutely refused to revoke the decrees against English commerce, as far as relates to this country, and demands the closing our ports against Great-Britain until a maritime peace!
The following are the important particulars.
LONDON, May 3.
The Osage is at length arrived with Mr. Nourse, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Morgan. They left L'Orient on the 25th and arrived at Falmouth last Saturday. Mr. Lewis is the bearer of dispatches to France: Mr. Nourse of the dispatches to this country. They arrived both at Mr. Pinckney's last night. The Osage, after her arrival at L'Orient on the 23d of March, was seized because it had transpired that she had been spoken by a British cruiser off that port. It was only in consequence of the repeated representations of general Armstrong, that she was finally released and permitted to proceed to England. Mr. Nourse was not suffered in the first instance to land, but after remaining on board the Osage for about a week, and it being stated that his health was greatly impaired by the voyage, he was suffered to go on shore and reside in the town of L'Orient, but on no account was he to be permitted to visit Paris. Mr. Lewis, who was the bearer of dispatches to the American minister there could not procure leave to proceed to Paris until after four days.
The intelligence brought by these gentlemen is said to be strongly indicative of a war between America and France. Some of the last American papers had informed us that Bonaparte had declared his determination to have no neutrals; that the only conditions on which he would continue at peace with the United States were, that they should shut all their ports against British shipping of every description, and suspend all intercourse with England; for that, in fact, he would have no neutrals. Mr. Lewis was sent in the Osage with an answer to the declaration, and with a demand, according to report, of the abandonment of the decree of the 21st Nov. 1806. Bonaparte refused this demand in the most positive manner and gen. Armstrong was informed, that the declaration made to the American government might be considered as the ultimatum from which France would not depart.
In consequence of the probability of a speedy rupture, many of the Americans in France had applied to the French government for passports to leave the country, to every one of whom the request was refused. Mr. Morgan, the gentleman before named, made his escape on board the Osage. The conduct of the French government towards American shipping is severe in the extreme.
It is added, that general Armstrong in his last conference with the French minister, stated, that as his instructions by no means extended to the objects proposed by France, he was to request passports for himself and American citizens in France, who might choose to return to their own country. After repeating this application several times, the request of general Armstrong was refused.
The Osage spoke the admiral of the fleet on her way from L'Orient. Previous to her departure from L'Orient, the captain was informed that he must not return to a French port after visiting England, under pain of certain forfeiture of the vessel, and imprisonment of the crew.
Another London paper says, "the day after the arrival of Mr. Lewis at Paris, general Armstrong requested an audience with the French minister, and gave him to understand, that he had received important dispatches from his government, who, anxious to preserve with the belligerent states a perfect neutrality, had instructed him to propose to the French government, the revocation of the decrees against British commerce, as far as related to America, adding, that England would be required to make the same exception in her favor—the
answer it appears made to this just and equitable proposal, was, "that in the present situation of affairs no terms of compromise could be listened to, that the American government was already in full possession of the unalterable determination of France, who would not permit a neutral state—and from which resolution she would on no account recede—and the French minister further observed, that unless the American ports should be closed against Great-Britain, until a maritime peace could be obtained—France and America must be considered to be at war with each other." It appears that several interviews took place after this, but the French government were inexorable; and gen. Armstrong was not able to obtain the least alteration in their determination; and consequently in the contemplation of an immediate rupture between the two countries, he demanded passports for such of the citizens of the U. S. who might choose to return to their own country; and this demand repeatedly made, was also rejected.
The expedition had not sailed from the Downs yesterday evening. The troops have embarked at Harwich on board 35 sail of transports. The regiments are, the 4th, 28th, 79th, 92d, and part of the 95th rifle corps.
May 4.
About 12 o'clock yesterday his excellency lord Strangford, the ambassador, and sir James Gambier, consul general from our court to that of the Brazils, had their final audience of Mr. secretary Canning. They then visited his excellency the chevalier de Souza Continho (the Portuguese ambassador at our court) and at two o'clock lord Strangford, together with Mr. Byng, his secretary, and several attendants, left town for Portsmouth, where the Euryalus frigate is in readiness to convey them to Portuguese South America. Sir Jas. Gambier and his attendants left town about the same time. A number of merchants, who are sending out goods to a vast amount to the Brazils, together with their supercargoes and nearly 200 emigrants, from Lisbon, will be carried out in transports and merchant vessels, under convoy at the same time.
Two English ladies landed at Deal the night before last, from Holland. The embargo has been taken off the Dutch ports.
The funds continue rising; the three per cents. rose about a half per cent. this morning for money, under an impression that the loan will be less than eight millions; and that it will not amount to more than six.
The force, naval and military, that has for some weeks been collecting in the Downs, sailed yesterday for its destination.
As the expedition has now sailed, there is no longer any necessity for concealing its destination. The general opinion in the military circles, and among the officers employed in this service is, that the first object is to attempt to destroy the means which the enemy is known to have been for some time engaged in preparing at Flushing, for the annoyance of this country. All uncertainty as to the real primary object of the expedition will be removed before many days pass over; as to its ultimate object there is but one opinion, nor has any secrecy been affected respecting it. The force goes to Sweden.
May 5.
At the close of 'Change yesterday, a report obtained circulation, that Bonaparte had issued a decree at Bayonne, directing an immediate embargo to be laid on all American vessels in the ports of Spain, the immediate seizure and confiscation of all American property in France, and the imprisonment of American citizens. We could not, however, trace this rumor to any authentic source.
This state of things between America and France, excited expectations in London, that America, being obliged to decide in attaching herself to either England or France, would adopt the former for her alliance. The presumption joined to a great influx of money in the market, created a considerable elevation in the funds on Wednesday in London. Consols, which stood at 67 1-4 on Tuesday, were on Wednesday at the close of the market, at 68 3-8 1-2.
May 9.
A vessel, the Yrow Elizabeth, is arrived at Falmouth from Bilbao, which she left April 27. Bonaparte was still at Bayonne, where the new king of Spain was expected to meet him. According to the intelligence brought by this vessel, intelligence, however, which we very much doubt, orders had been issued for the French troops to evacuate
Spain; and they had quitted Bilbao in consequence of these orders.
The Tigre, of 80 guns, and the Triumph, Melampus and Edgar, of 70 each, sailed yesterday morning from the Downs, to blockade, as it is supposed, some port on the Dutch coast.
A report prevailed yesterday, said to have been brought from Holland, of an action taking place in the Mediterranean, in which the French experienced a signal defeat. We have no doubt of their having been defeated, if there has been a battle.
The American ships Hannah, Ann, Ranger, Reward, Neptune and Mayflower, have been seized by a French privateer in the port of Alicante.
The following official communication was on Saturday made to the American traders:
AMERICAN CONSULATE,
May 7.
Whereas by a communication received at this office, from his excellency William Pinkney, esq. minister plenipotentiary of the United States here, it appears that he hath received information from his Britannic majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, of the establishment of the most rigorous blockade of the port of Copenhagen, & all the ports in the island of Zealand. This is therefore to give notice thereof to the American merchants and others within this consulate, that they may govern themselves accordingly.
WILLIAM LYMAN.
The Brazil and East India fleet sailed from Portsmouth yesterday; the latter will not touch at the cape. Lord Strangford, sir James Gambier, and several officers sailed in the Brazil fleet.
The expedition which lately sailed from the Downs, will rendezvous at Yarmouth. The Mars admiral Keats, and the Audacious, with several transports arrived here yesterday.
A letter was yesterday received by a respectable house in the Russian trade, which implies the complete acquiescence of the Russian court in the views of Bonaparte. This letter which is dated St. Petersburg, 18th of April, (N. S.) states, that the emperor has issued an Ukase, forbidding any intercourse whatever between his territories and any neutral power, until the conclusion of a general peace. By the terms of this Ukase, none but ships belonging to those powers which are in actual alliance with Russia are permitted to enter any Russian port.
Mr Johnson, a king's messenger, arrived on Thursday, at Harwich, by express, and immediately proceeded on board the Beaufoy packet, Capt. Norris, for Gottenburgh, which immediately prepared to set sail, without waiting to take a mail on board. It is said that Mr. Johnson is the bearer of dispatches of the greatest importance.
Admiral Lord Gambier left town, this day, to take the command of the channel fleet.
Foreign Office, May 4.
The Right Hon. George Canning, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for foreign affairs, has this day notified to the ministers of friendly and neutral powers, resident at this court, that his majesty has judged it expedient to establish the most rigorous blockade of the port of Copenhagen, and of all the other ports, in the island of Zealand; and that the same will be maintained and enforced in the strictest manner, according to the usages of war acknowledged and allowed in similar cases.
Domestic Intelligence.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 24.
Extract of a report made by a person appointed to enquire into the facts relative to the late aggressions and hostile assemblage of Indians on the frontiers of Tennessee.
On Monday the 2d instant, I proceeded on my route from Dover to the mouth of Duck river, and at Richland creek had a conversation with Famous Mortimore, the man who owned and had command of the boat when it was fired on by the Indians; Mr. Mortimore is intelligent, and I think, a man of veracity; he stated that on the third of April, ten miles above the mouth of Duck river the attack was made on the boat by the Indians from the north side of Tennessee; seven men were in the boat, out of which number two were killed and three wounded, the third man, who it was said died of the wounds he received, is now on the recovery and out of danger. The Indians kept up a constant fire until the boat was out of
reach. They then maned a pirogue and pursued about two miles, but discovering they could not overtake the boat hauled in: Mr. Mortimore further states, that on the twenty-third of April, Levi Colbert came down the Tennessee to carry up the boat, and informed him, that 30 or 40 miles above the mouth of Duck river, he saw the party of Creeks, thirteen in number, who had made the attack on the boat, and told them he was going for the boat they had fired on; they at first denied it, but a Cherokee, one of the party, acknowledged it. They then confessed, observing they had not been satisfied, that one white man and two Indians had been killed, they had now killed one too many, but were not yet satisfied. Colbert was lately in the Creek nation, the chief said he wished peace and would not go to war with the white people, unless Bonaparte did; the party who made the attack on the boat had not lived in the nation for ten years, and the attack was unauthorised by the nation. From Richland creek I directed my course to the mouth of Duck river, and proceeded up that river to the settlement, about twelve miles above the mouth, and was enabled to ascertain by information received from Labou Combes, that the statements made by William Meadows, upon which the orders of the major general of the 20th ult. are predicated, are utterly false.
NORFOLK, June 20.
Dispatches were received on Wednesday last by commodore Decatur, to stay the sailing of the frigate Chesapeake until further orders—in consequence of which she returned to Hampton Roads, where she now rides at anchor.
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.
NEW-YORK, June 21.
The French privateer schooner La Constance, arrived here from the island of Guadalupe, has been nearly rebuilt at the ship yards, under the pretence of being refitted. On Saturday last the carpenters who had done the repairs, having suspicions that she was going to take French leave without paying them for their work, got an attachment against him, and, with the assistance of the sheriff, took off her rudder and dismantled her. However on Monday the captain paid all expenses, and she will sail on a cruise in the course of this week. We understand that the captain of the privateer has been heard to say, that he would be revenged for this affront, by capturing the first American vessel he falls in with at sea. The force of the Constance is 10 guns and 40 men.
We understand that the Dey of Algiers has lately given grounds to distrust his peaceable dispositions towards the U. S. After having settled with the American consul there the differences which arose in December last, including the case of the Algerine seamen who perished in the rescue of the American vessel captured by one of the Dey's cruisers, he suddenly set up a demand about the middle of March for two thousand dollars a man, threatening to put Mr. Lear in chains if not paid in 24 hours. This was resisted. He then gave notice, that two frigates and other cruisers, just on the point of sailing, had orders to capture American vessels, which would infallibly go into execution unless the money should immediately be paid. To obtain a recall of the orders, Mr. Lear thought it best to comply; signifying to the Dey that he should communicate it to his government as the result of the force put on him. The day before Mr. Lear was threatened, the Danish consul, on the pretext that arrears were due from his government, had been seized by order of the Dey, and actually set to work among the slaves with an iron chain of 40lbs. fastened to him. Mr. Lear had circulated through the consuls at different ports, this state of things with the Algerine regency.

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."

MARTINSBURG, July 1.

Some days ago, at his farm in this County, in an advanced stage of life, Mr. MATTHIAS NICHOLS.
"An Angel's arm can't snatch us from the grave, Legions of Angels can't confine us there!"
On Friday last, about 12 o'clock Gen. Wilkinson commenced his defence before the Court of Enquiry. Not being able to conclude it on that day, from its great length, the Court adjourned about 3 o'clock. On Saturday the General concluded his address; and it is expected that the opinion of the court will be pronounced in a few days.
[Nat. Int.]
On Wednesday the 25th May, the U. S. gun-boat No. 21, capt. Owings, was struck by lightning whilst lying in the stream opposite the city of New Orleans, and had two men killed and two severely wounded. The two former were aloft when the mast was struck. The boat sustained but little injury.
[Ibid.]
General TURBEAU, the French minister arrived at Washington City on Friday last from Baltimore.
We understand, (says the National Intelligencer) that dispatches have been received from general Armstrong of a late date in April, General Armstrong was then in Paris. The Osage had not been detained by the French government, but by Gen. Armstrong, to take his communications for our government. She was soon to return to England, whence she would soon sail for the United States without returning to France. We do not learn that any extraordinary circumstance had occurred.
From the United States Gazette.
SYMPTOMS OF OPPRESSION!
A case occurred on Monday in the court of Quarter Sessions, which excited some amusement, and considerable satisfaction. Italy, and Switzerland, and Holland, and Portugal, and Spain, have all, all fallen before the power of Napoleon, and it is now our turn to present a rich repast to the maw of this devourer of empires. The blow which was aimed, has been arrested by the spirit of an American jury. Bonaparte has now an occasion furnished to him, which should afford him serious reflection; and if his reasoning be cool and correct, he will find that America is not to be subdued, while such feelings and sentiments, as the discussion of Monday produced, glow in the bosoms of our countrymen.
In the fall of the year 1806, a Swedish sloop with a cargo of considerable value, both owned by a Swedish subject, and under the care of Mr. John Naglee, an American supercargo, sailed from this port for the isle of Cuba. In the voyage she was captured by the privateer Dolphin, commanded by capt. Brouvard. This is the man whose vessel, which lately entered the port of Philadelphia, and under the pretence of wanting provisions and repairs for a long cruise, was furnished by our government with those articles which the embargo laws prevent our own citizens from carrying to each other.
When capt. Brouvard captured the sloop, the usual scenes of outrage and atrocity were committed, which in this age of the "freedom of the seas," accompany all French captures. Pistols, and swords and sabres were exhibited to alarm the fears of the crew, and show the power of the Frenchmen. The sloop was plundered and sent to Barracoa, a port in the island of Cuba. Here a new scene of plunder occurred, and before any proceedings were instituted to procure the condemnation of the vessel, one half of the cargo was smuggled on shore, as well to avoid the restoration of it in case of an acquittal, as to defraud the government of the duties. An attempt was made by capt. Brouvard, with the aid of a file of soldiers, to seize and imprison the supercargo, who, finding his life in danger, applied to the governor of the port, who was a Spaniard, and who immediately interfered to secure Mr. Naglee from the hands of the Frenchman. The sloop was then offered to the city of St. Domingo, where she soon after arrived. Mr. Naglee, apprehensive of his life, if he went in the sloop, took his passage in another vessel; and at great expense and with considerable difficulty, followed her; but not in sufficient time to save his property. Before he arrived his vessel and cargo were delivered up to Brouvard, and his only recourse was to provide for his return to his home.
Brouvard had robbed him of a pair of pistols, which it was his wish to regain, and for which purpose he applied to him, but without success. He then made an application to Gen. Ferrand, who commanded at the city of St. Domingo, and Brouvard was ordered by him to restore the pistols. After some time they were returned to Mr. Naglee; but the case in which they were contained was cut and defaced—the locks of the pistols were broken, and the barrels filed with saws! But such as they were, they were the remnant of his property, and he found himself now reduced by the villainy of Brouvard, from a state of comfort to that of beggary. He smarted under a sense of his wrongs, and when he was about to leave St. Domingo on his return to Philadelphia, he seized an occasion to say to Brouvard, "I am now in your power, and must submit to it; but if I ever catch you in any part of the United States, except Christ's church, I will have my revenge."
Two years elapsed and the time for revenge arrived: Brouvard entered the port of Philadelphia a short time since, after having plundered
an American vessel at sea, and occasioned the death of a respectable passenger Mr. Campbell, and three or four of the crew. Here, his vessel was ordered to be repaired, and by the orders of our government, an unnecessary quantity of provisions was furnished to him, while, by the same orders, and at the same time, the citizens were prohibited from receiving from their sister states even a barrel of flour! While the schooner was repairing at the ship yard, Brouvard accompanied by the French vice consul and a Frenchman, and dressed in his uniform, went to inspect her. They were met in the street by Mr. Naglee, who, addressing himself to Brouvard, said, "How do you do sir?" Brouvard replied, "Very well, sir, I thank you." "I suppose," said Mr. Naglee, "you do not remember me." "Oh, oui tres bien," said Brouvard and held out his hands as if to greet him. Naglee instantly seized them in his left hand, and proceeded to take his promised revenge. He struck Brouvard several severe blows, when the vice consul interfered, either as a peace maker, or as a partisan of Brouvard. His own testimony was, that he interposed in the former capacity, and laid a gentle hand upon each for the purpose of parting them; and in this statement he was strengthened by the oath of the Frenchman, who accompanied him and Brouvard. The witnesses for Naglee, however, had another story to tell—They swore that the vice consul seized Naglee alone violently by the collar. This latter story, it is presumed, was the impression of Naglee, for, finding himself attacked from behind, he took the precaution of extending Brouvard on the ground by one honest blow, and then turned to defend himself from his assailant. Not much however, was necessary for this purpose: He gave the great Napoleon's vice consul, one blow on the stomach, and the vice consul fell.
"O! What a fall was there, my countrymen!" Having thus defended himself from an assailant, he proceeded to perform the promises which he had made to Brouvard at St. Domingo, which he executed to his own satisfaction, and we hope to the satisfaction of his countrymen. After Brouvard had been beaten a second time, his epaulettes covered with dirt, and his tremendous cockade ingloriously thrown from his head, he recollected that he had a dirk and a sword, which he had on a former occasion held to the breast of Mr. Naglee, and which at that time answered his end. He thought he would try it again, and laid his hand on his dirk. Naglee seized a small piece of hoop-pole, and threatened to use it unless Brouvard instantly sheathed his dirk. The captain thought "the better part of valour was discretion," and quietly obeyed; and (as Naglee expressed it in his testimony) "with the Vice-Consul, immediately ran away to a neighbouring house." Brouvard, however, was not satisfied with this mode of taking revenge, and immediately proceeded to wipe away the stain from his honour and his cockade. He complained to Monsieur Turbeau. Turbeau complained to the government. The government instructed Mr. Dallas, the district attorney, and Mr. Dallas complained to the grand jury for the county of Philadelphia, who found two bills of indictment against John Naglee—one, for assaulting and beating the vice-consul—the other, for assaulting and beating captain Brouvard. The charges were alleged to be "against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania," and "in defiance and contravention of a treaty made between the United States and Napoleon, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, &c."
Naglee confessed the charge of assaulting and beating captain Brouvard, (as, in truth, it could not well be denied) and submitted his story to the court. He pleaded "not guilty" to the charge of beating the vice-consul, and this indictment was tried on Monday by twelve jurors, who are in absentia .
Mr. Dallas, the district attorney, opened the prosecution, by declaring that "it was instituted by the orders of government." He spoke of the mighty power of Bonaparte—of the savage disposition of Frenchmen in acts of retaliation, and said, that if Naglee was acquitted, our citizens would be at the mercy of the French, whom they should meet on the ocean. He said, that if there was a verdict of acquittal, the French Emperor would not be satisfied with it, and he instanced as an example, the decision in the affair of Pearce, in which our government was not satisfied with the acquittal of captain Whitty. He attempted to shew the privileges of the vice-consul and capt. Brouvard, and said they were protected from violence by the law of nations, and by treaty. He said that the vice-consul's story was true, and that Naglee's witnesses were not to be believed. He concluded by telling the jury, that "he hoped they would give such a verdict that our government would hear no more of it!"
Mr. Bradford then opened on the part of the defendant, and gave a brief recital of the acts of provocation which he had suffered from Brouvard at and after the capture of his vessel.
Mr. Hopkinson followed on the same side in a speech of some length and great eloquence. He spoke as an American, feeling for the honor of his country. He adverted, in an animated strain, to the terrors which the district attorney had held out to influence the decision of the jury. He said he hoped we were not yet prepared to offer ourselves up to the grasp of the great Napoleon, and he trusted our courts of law were yet independent. He admitted the privileges of vice-consuls, but was not prepared to admit a privilege in them to insult an American citizen. He said he hoped the jury would give a verdict of acquittal, and there could be no doubt, that whatever might be the dissatisfaction of the French Emperor, that our country would sanction their verdict, and unite with them to meet the consequences.
It is, however, impossible to give a correct idea of the genius and eloquence of Mr. Hopkinson's speech, or of the effect it produced on the audience. We wish it had been preserved. We wish Napoleon himself could have heard it. It was decisive upon the jury. Mr. Dallas endeavoured in his conclusion to break the force of it; but this attempt was vain. It was addressed to the feelings and understandings—to the heads and hearts of Americans and the result was honorable to themselves and to their country.
They acquitted Mr. Naglee, and ordered the vice-consul to pay the costs of the prosecution.
On the dangerous effects of Clover on Cattle—Method of preventing accidents, and approved remedies when they do occur—By M. D. Vincentes.
From the Repository 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 indigesti-
on with those sudden swellings, called tympanites, metéorisation , 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 appear incommoded by it, or begin 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 post master at Lauterburg, 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 not 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 accident 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 inattention, 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-spoon full 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 spoon full 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, three 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 piece of elder. Immediately the air and a green froth burst forth through the aperture in the form of a funnel 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 shew 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, although the effect is nothing more than the too great quantity of air and water contained in the herbs 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.
It happens frequently in spring and summer, after rainy weather, that Cattle feeding on green clover swell to an amazing size, and die in a short time. That disease is occasioned by a dilation in their stomach of the acid and mephitical gas contained in the clover. The cure is a neutralization of that gas, and is effected by the means of alkali; which is universally used in France, as follows; Dissolve an ounce of Pot-ash in a quart of water; take one tumbler full of that dissolution, mix it with a pint of water, and give it to the ox or cow at two different times, one half at a time; it will cure them in one hour.
One quart of strong ley given to an ox will cure him in three or four hours.
Twelve or fifteen drops of alkali volatil flour, mixed in a glass of water, are also a sure remedy.
N. B. One half of the above is sufficient for sheep.
The printers in the United States are invited to publish the above.—Mer. Ado
Letters have been received in this city from Liverpool, stating that orders had been received from British merchants at the Brazils, to effect insurance on 10,000 barrels of Rice, which had been shipped in that Kingdom for Great-Britain.

BATH.
THE subscribers appointed at the last session of the General Assembly, Trustees for the town of Bath, Berkeley County Virginia, are informed that a number of persons who have been advised to use the waters of this place, are deterred from visiting it, from an apprehension of its unhealthiness. They deem it their duty to state to the public, that the mill-pond to which the former sickness of persons at Bath is almost exclusively to be ascribed, has been long since entirely dry, in consequence of the dam having been taken down, and that the inhabitants of the town have enjoyed their usual health for more than a year past, and of course, during the summer and fall of the last year. We are entirely satisfied that these Springs may be resorted to as formerly without any risque to the health of visitors, from the cause above mentioned.
The Commissioners have had the Baths repaired, and are taking measures for cleansing the streets, cellars, &c.—They intend, as far as the powers given them by law will permit, to fit the place for the comfortable accommodation of those to whom the use of the waters may be necessary.

Young Ladies in town, and those that live round, Let a friend at this season, advise you, Since money's so scarce, and times growing worse, Strange things may soon hap and surprise you.

No more ribbons wear, nor in rich dress appear, Love your country much better than fine things, Begin without passion, 'twill soon be the fashion To grace your smooth locks with a twine string.
These do without fear, and to all you'll appear Fair, charming, true, lovely and clever; Though the times remain darkish, young men will be sparkish, And love you much stronger than ever.

PROPOSALS for printing by SUBSCRIPTION,
The Armenian Skeleton, By WILLIAM HUNTINGTON.
THE publisher has been induced to offer a new American edition of this work to the public from the scarcity of it, (it being almost out of print) and with the hope that its circulation will be a great public good, and have a tendency to point out to searchers after righteousness the true path in which it may be found. He trusts that it will richly repay those for its perusal who are in search after Divine truths; all who wish to see the glorious Gospel promoted and spread through our land, he doubts not, will feel a disposition to en- courage this scarce and valuable work.
The publisher is not actuated by interested views in offering this work to the public; his sole object is the dissemination of truths necessary for ev- ery human creature to be acquainted with; he only wishes to obtain as many subscribers as will pay for the printing, his own situation being such as to put it out of his power to have it republished with- out the aid of others.
The work will probably make from 250 to 300 duodecimo pages; it shall be well printed on good paper, and the price, half bound, shall not exceed one dollar; those who wish them bound in leather can have them at the additional expense of bind- ing; if the number of subscribers should be equal to his expectation, the price in all probability will be less.
The work will be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to pay for the printing.
