NEW EvnarzAN CONGUEIS.--FRANKrOIIT, JULY 24.
It is generally said in our rilitical circles, that the present si.
tuation of the Peninsula will give rite to a new European Con.
grest, to beheld at Vienna in the month of October next. In
support of this opinion, a passage from a speech of 31. de Ctrs.
TEAVDRIANO is cited, in which his Excelkncy says, that
" the Sluttish revolution should be considered in two ways—.
first, :as contrary to the interest of France ; and, secondly, as
contrary to
,thole of Europe."—lt is also added, that not.
only the powers of the first rank, but likewise those of
the second and third, will assist at the approaching Congress.
The object of this general assembly will be to torn into statutes
the great maxims of the Holy Alliance, giving thtm the form
of a code, which will be recognised by all the States, as mt.
Wishing the public rights of nations. Thud will be put in'
practice the great ideas of henry IV.—( Gazette Universelle

ettAmP.—Extract of a letter to the Editor of

taining an easy remedy for the cramp.--ti Near
five years ago, being from home, and obliged to
lie upon a vary hard bed for two nights, though I
could nut sleep the first night, through the un.
easiness of my lodging, yet I had no cramp; the
second night I slept well, but no cramp. The
loss of my old tormenting companion for two
nights together, a circutnstauce I bad not
experienced for years before, set me on think-
ing what could be the cause. I could not
recollect any other alteration in, my manner of
—Ong, than passing from a soft bed to a hard
I therefore imagined that that' might be
e case ; and likewise reflecting that this dis-
order almost always makes its attack in time night,
I guessed it must, in a great measure, proceed
from the unnatural position of the body in re
soft bed, where the body sinks down and the feet
rise up. I immediately set nay joiner to work, and
made my bedstead regularly sloping, so that there
was about a foot difference in height between the
head and the feet. 1 likewise put a hard mattre's
upon the bed ; my project succeeded, and (I
thank God) I immediately got rid of my grie-
-1"0113 pain, which I have not felt since, near
five years, unless a few times, when, through
mistake of servants, the feathers of the bed were
left too full at bpttom, and, by that means, the
feet raised higher than they should he. If this
should be looked upon by the learned as trifling,
yet facts are stubborn things,' and will not bow
dosin to the most learned and ingenious hypo"
thesis. It may be necessary to add, that as the
bed slopes so much something ought to be fixed
at the bottom for the feet to rest against.
