THE NAI'IONAL RFJIISTER•

1,.

The Americans are preparing it war against_ the Indians, of
the South, who have lately chewed such dkermined hostility.
A New York Paper contains a long article, recommending,
capitalists to employ their money in the manufacturing, in
preference.to the banking business ; and notice the great pro-
gress made in America, within these 30 years, in the broad
cloth and paint manufactory; and the printing buainess„
lu the Jamaica Papers of September ea, we find the follow;
fatal result of a duel t----1 An affair of honour took place in Spa-
nish Town, on Sunday afternoon, between Lieut. Mackelashatn,
of the 101st regiment of foot, and Lieut. Brown, of the same
corps; when the t-ortner sibs mortally wounded, and expired the
following morning. Ills antagonist was also wounded in the
left arm. On Mondsv the Grand Jury found a true against
Lieut. Brown, Caitt. Dolan, anct Assistant-Surgeon, Whiteley,
of the 101st foot, and Ensign Godfrey, of the bit West India
regiment, for wilful murder."
It is stated in the American Papers, that the city of cartha7
gcna had been taken by the royalists after three days, of obsti-
nate fighting. The •Bucnos Ayres fleet had captured the whole
of the Nontevediata fleet, an the patriot army of Buenos
Ayres had been successful against the Lima troops. The new acts of the Buenos Ayres Government are contain
ed in various decrees, as they term it, " of the Independent Go-
overninent of the United Provinces of Rio da la Plata, passed,
approved. and sanctioned by the Supreme Executive Power,"
The first of these decrees relates to slaves;- wherein it is enact-
ed. 4' that any slaves henceforward brought, introduced, and im-
ported from any foreign. country, shall be free by the mete sole •,
act of entering the territory of the United Provinces." Next,
it is &dared, •that• the oatiir,es; throughout all the United Pro-
vinces, are perfectly -free men, and entitled to all the rights
and privileges belonging to any other citizen, without &sone- •
tkin. The tribunal of the Inquisition is entirely and absolutely
abolished throughout all the extent and territory of the said
United Provinces. The instrutnents of torture were ordered to
Lac destr;:yed: and the custom of torture no longer to be prac-
tised. The absolute abolition of all titles of diitinction is &-
dallied by a positive decree. Not only arc there to be no
Counts, Marquises, or Barons, in the Republic of the Rio de
13 Plata ; but in all offices, whether of gain or of honour, it is
gravely ietermined that regard shah only be had to personal
merit, to proofs of valour, or to the display. of patriotism.
.141VOSTOkiEt DEC. 4, I;;ls.—This day at.l t o'clock, Tufree
and his, son, a boy 12 yeacs of age, who have undertaken to per-,
form 1200 miles in 20 days, on a piece of ground at the Roebuck
Inn here, commenced their undertaking; and the place allotted
them not being yet completed, they were only able to accom-
plish, owing to the inclemency of the weather, 40 miles at nine
o'clock this night, when they left off.
EXTAORMNARY CURE OF HYPOCHONDRIA.— A wealthy
Swiss farmer, much affected with hypoctroniria, came to Lan-
genan to consult the. celebrated Micnal Schuppach, better
known by the appellation of the Mountain Doct,;r. " I have
seven devils in my belly," said he; " no fewer than seven."
"'There are more than seven," replied the Doctor, with the ,
o 'most gravity ; " if you count them right yon will find eight." I
Ater questioning the patient concerning his case, he promised
to cure him in eight days, during which time he would every
morning rid him of one of his troublesome inmates at the rate
of one Louis d'or each. " But," added he, " as the last will he
inech more obstinate and difficult to expel than the others, I
shall expect two louis d'ors for him." The farmer agreed to
tleme•terms ; the bargain was struck, and the Doctor impressing
upon all present the necessity of secrecy, promised to give the
rune Louis (I'c:ors to the poor of the parish. Next morning the,
imaginary demoniac was brought to him, and placed near a'
kind.of machine which he had never seen before, by means of '
which he received an electric shock. The faimer roared out
lustily—'. There goes one !" said the Doctor with the utmost.
eravit* Next day the same operation was repeated; the farmer
bellowedias before, and the Doctor coolly remarked, " Another
is off;!" In this manner he proceeded to the seventh. When
he was preparing to attack the last, Scuppach rerinded, !Ils pa-
tient. that he now had heed of all his cooragek for this was the •
Captain of the gang, who would make a =ore obstinate :es*.

ance than any of the others. The shock was a: titi6 time co
strong as to extend the demoniac eih the floor. " Now they
are all gone!" said the Doctor, and ordered the fa- rotor t.. !)e
put to bed. On recovering' himself, the latter declared he was
:completely cured; he paid' alb nine louis (1%4.. with ahondaece
of thanks., and returned in the best spirits to his vilia4A.
witnefises attest this extraordinary cure, which proves the
;acuteness of the. Doctor, as well as the truth -ISo.•.inc)it's pro-
verb, that wit!. the fool we must sometimes' talk I:k t. tool.

together, and make them into boluses with water. Swallow
one of them at night, and one in the morning. This is generally
found to banish the rheumatism, and even contraction of thu
joints in five times taking.
For flume—Vinegar is mentioned as being more effienciona
than oil in cases of burns an.l scalds : cloths constantly wet
with it should for some time he kept to rile part airected.
To remove thins.—Stains of wine are easily eradicated from
muslin, by applying soft soap and whitening to the spins, and
keeping them wet, and exposed to the sun and air till they dis-
appear. The application should be made before washing, but
will succeed afterwards.

They are totally sib nt as to thi fate of Lavalette,
which augurs favorably for thst traitor.; and the only
mention they make of Ney, is in stating that the door,
of the Luxembourg, where the trial was to take place
were to be opt•nud at eight o'clock on Monday morning,
and closed at half past nine; after which no person could
be admitted.

'the palace of the Elysee Bourbon, occupied by his Grace
the Duke of Wellington, was must brilliantly illuminated

ball and :•iipper which was given by the noble Duke to more

greater display of beauty. elegance and ta4ion Iva, never
seen. The supper consisted of the choicest delicacies the
season could afford. The dancing continued to a very
late hour.

Could it be believed (says a Paris paper), that Ft t this
