ITEAITTON' DENTIFRICE is by far the most.
pleasant of any Powder recommended- for Cleansing
and Beautifying the TEEI H; it -will be found to answer
every end that a Tooth Powder can be reasona!;ly c4rettes4
to do; while it cleanses the. Mouth of all impure attd fir tid
particles, it Whitens the Teeth, Heals the Coins,
helps to Sweeten the Breath.
Nothing is so great'a drawbick to Beauty as bad Teeth'
nothing more offensive' than I'(2 tid Breath ; Newton's TOnth-
Powder, on the _first Application, improves the former,
and removes the latter, while by its antiputreseent and
balsamic qualities it prevents decay, and removes all excres-
cences.

SPAIN. •

(Ctincluded from Tuesday.)

We resuine the account of this country, as given
by M. RE.HFUES, Librarian to the King of Wilt-
TEMBERG.

The insecurity tsf the high roads is another prociT'
of defective police. Few countries,. it lutist:be
confose!l, are more inviting to plunderers- than
Spla ; the lofty and thioly inhabited moirltains
affordint; them the means of retre:lt, witile the
high duties have the effect of presenting diem with •
a ,Isind of collateral livelihood in smuggling,. We
must not conceal Oyi- the Guerilla parties are in
considerable degree composed
,of these doubtful
m (Ameters,' v,-ho lniT.-e 'long been i-emarkW,le for
theHmltiomil antiinthy to the French. far
back as the :-.Y;Ir oft. 1793;' a hold front the' Sierra
Morena volunteered their services in the field, and
fought und‘r their chieftain, Übei-N-, with the re-
gular army. Ifne'da.bal the temporary rank of
Lieute,nant-General ; but, after having rendered
very essensial service, he returned, on the Cell -
f7tuslot: of peace, to his predatory habits. Dun-c-
-the present troubles in Spain, the number of ban-
ditti b..rs greatly increased. •
Among other wanderers,
gypsies are hire a nu-
merous clp.ss. The defects of the. police, and the
thinness-uf population, are farthe'r evinced by the
multitude of wolves and foxes ; the former of_
which are very :destructive to the breed of horses
in Andalusia. ,

flqieratare.—Education is in a very backward
s!ate in Spain, and the recent attempts of G-overn-
ment seem vather to indicate a corscions sense of
error than the ability of correctioo. Or,e proper
measure
nhas been taken in reducing the twe qty-taco
Uni.-:rsities to half the number, nud .n
dating those that are kept up by appropeiat ng to
them the funds of the others. Another usefu: step
has been to enjoin a course of study to the Uni-
versity of Salamanca;-and make it . applicable to
oth-Crs.

Madrid possesses several learned institutions,
under the name of academies, which effect some
good by their collections of books, and a little,
t':ough hitherto but a Rile, by their publications.
M., Rehfues, a librarian by office, is disposed
to feel very sore at inattention to literary la-
bours.
The earliest of the Madrid academies was insti-
tuted for the study of the Spanish language, and
published_in 1739 a dictionary avowedly imper-
fect. What has this body done since ? They began
in 1770 a new edition of this dictionary, which is
not finished at the present day.—The academy for
bistOry.goes on much in the same style, having
taken an age to perform what a laborious man
would accomplish
_in two years.
The Society'of Patriotic Economists formed for
some time an exception frOm their brethren, t'leir
papers containing many good dissertations on Go-
vernMent abuses ; but no attention has been paid
to them, and their sittings arc now suspended.—
Others of these societies are directed to mere
trifles, and fritter away their time in empty for-

Among the various subjects treated by M: Itch-
fues, is, the Basque or Fiscal' language, a topic on
which our- information is still very imperfect. It
is spoken in the three provinces of Biscay, in se-
veral towns of,Navarre, and in the rArt of France
caJled Pays de.Labour. Being complytely differ-
ent.from the neighbouring tongues, it would not
be fair to call it a mere dialect ; while it will he
found, we suspect, just as little entiiled to the
hizb -encomiums bestowo on it by soine enthusi-
astic admirers. It has been exhibited in print no
where but at Bayonne ; and there ,the number of
works in it scarcely exceeds half a•dozen. Seve-'
cal disqUisitions, however, have been published in
French and Spanifii.
The preservation •of a separate tongue in so li-
mitpl a district has puzzled the Literati the more,
be.:.-.ause they are by no means agreed as to any
connection between it and the original Spanish.,--
It conists in a great measure of dissyllabic radi-
eais, and its rules of grammar are, as may he ex- •
pected, fewand undefined. The pronunciation of
the. letters is similar to the Castilian. Their nouns
arc inflected by :the addition of the tv.-ticle, and-
'their tenses by the addition of auxiliary .words.—
The farther conjugation takes place by the em-
ployment of auxiliary verbs, and those verbs
which have no auxiliaries constitute the irre,a-
lar3.

Another subject, occup(-ing the larger balf_of
the second volume, is an 'historical fra“nent,
un-
der the title of " The Spaniards of the 14th Cen-
tury. ". Here we are introduced to known names
and events : but the style of the produc-ion, as
well as the want of authorities in that age of
darkness, leaves little room to. doubt that the tract
is chiefly a work of imagination. It, takes for its
basis-the exploits of the Spanish crusaders against
their unfaithful allies in the Greek empire.

It is with the most 'sincere satisfaction that we
are enabled by the arrival of a GottenbureOlail,
to • communicate to our Readers the further, apd,

we hope, decisive 'successes of the Russian arms..
Government lave nat. received any official intelli=
• gence, 'but private letterS froMGOttenburA state,
that accounts bad reached that place from Riga,
da • t.'A 7thir se. which assert; in the most positive
terms, that a tremendous Amide had been
fought in the neighbourhood of;Sinolensko, by the
two Grand Armies, in which the Russians were so
completely successful, that'ls,ooo 'of the French
laid down their arms. We hope that•this account
may.prove as true as it is probable. From the
defeat o MUR:I.T.S corpt on the one side, and that
of ST. CTR, at Polotzk. (which was most decisive)
on the other, there was every reason to expect
the most important resu!ts frOm the united forces
of those two ablt Generals KUTusow, and WITT-
