FERTILITY OF THE sOI L.—A six.acre field, the
property of Mr. John Armstrong, of Carlisle, the
two harvests before the last, produced the most
astonishing crops of oats that ever rewarded the
hand of industry ; in which there were noticed
single stems that contained upwards of 500 in-
dividual grains of corn, where a single grain of
seed was deposited, 2z healthy stems had sprung
upl Last year the same piece of ground, from
3.4- bushels of seed, yielded a I I Carlisle bushels of
clean well dressed barley, which, at 93. per bushel,
sold for 491. 195.-2433 trusses of straw, at 2s. 6d.
per score, realized Isl. 4.s.—amount 6.51. 35. It is
still more remarkable, that during the whole period
the land had neither manure, lime, nor any other
stimulating substance applied to it. The above is
a well authenticated account ; and a more abundant
increase was perhaps never known.

PARIS, MAY i 6.

THE First Naval and Military Special Commis-
sion that has pronounced any sentence, is that at
Boulogne. Two Citizens, AV ES and MON I NGUON,
employed in the Naval Department in the Port of
Boulogne, have been conviCted of attempting to ap-
propriate to themselves several articles furnished
to the Republic, and of having overcharged what
had been furnished for the general Magazine ; they
are both condemned to be placed in the pillory
for six hours, and to ten years hard labour in the
galleys.
The Austrian Government, hitherto established
at Gunzburgh, in Suabia, is now removed to Lin.
dau, opposite to Constance, near the Swiss Fron-
tiers. The Military Staff of the provincial Regi-
ments is to reside in the same City : but it is not
true that new Fortifications are to be erected ;
neither the French nor the Helvetic Republic would
suffer such offensive measures. A Power that for-
tifies itself meditates attacks.—(La Gazette de
France.)
Letters from Vienna state, that the ARCHDUKE
CHARLES has lately had frequent and long confe-
rences with the Minister of the Foreign Depart-
ment, Count COB ENTZ FL, and that great adivity
prevails in the Military Departments ; that Diplo-
matic Couriers are more numerous than ever, and
that great attention is paid to the filling up of the
Austrian Army.
Upwards of 1,500 Dutch Fishermen now fol-
low their profession under Prussian Colours, with-
out any interruption on the part of the English,
who dare not insult that Flag.—(Le Citoyen Fran-
cois.)

- The first Ship of the Line, of 7+ guns, built in
Antwerp, will be launched the first of June. It will
be called La Corse. Another vessel of 14.0 guns,
will afterwards Ix- built and ready to he launched
before the first of 061ober. It will be called Napo-
leone. A third, of the same number of guns, will
then be built in the same dock-yard, to be launched
before the first of next January, and will be called
the Emperor.—journal de Commerce.)
The last ten thousand pairs of oars, of the forty
thousand finished in the forest of Soignes, passed
through Brussels on the Iz th inst. for the coast.
They were under an escort of the gen d'arnies, as se-
veral disafFeded persons, English Emissaries, had
twice in the last week attempted to burn them.—
The Prefea has offered one hundred livres for the
discovery of the incendiaries.—( La Gazette de
France.)

A rumour has been generally spread by English
Emissaries in the Department of Mont Tonvere, that
the Roman Catholics intended to murder all the
Protestants; and, notwithstanding the absurdity of
this rely)rt, it made a great impression upon the
minds of the people. Ciitizen Pt ETSCH, the Pre-
sident of the General Consistorium of the Luthe-
rans, residing at Mentz, has therefore sent a Cir-
cular Letter to all the Ministers of the Protestants,
inviting them to use their influence to prevent the
consequences of such reports, disseminated by the
Emissaries of a Nation that never was Christian,
but entirely Merchants, ready as JUDAS to sell
CHRIiT, or MAHnmeT.—(Gazette de France.)
They write from Turin, that the new Fortifica-
tioui round Alexandria, in Piedmont, are continued
without interruption, and will be finished in the
course of the Summer. The City will then be one
of the strongest in Europe, and may hold out, if
plentifully supplied with prdvisions, for ten years,
against an army of one million of Soldiers. General'
CHASSELOUP inspeets the works, after having first
laid the plan for them. They will cost, when com-
pleted, nine hundred thousand livres. This General
has proposed new additions to Mantua, which, if
carried into execution, will render that City im.
pregnable.

The FIRST Co/emu. has appointed six of the
Custom-house Officers at Antwerp, Members of the
Legion of Honour, for having dispersed a gang of
Smugglers in attempting to introduce English goods
on the territory of the Republic. The contraband
goods seized by them on this occasion, amounted to
700,000 livres.
On the loth inst. Government sent orders to all
Generals, Members of the Tribunate, Senate, or of
the Legislative Body, or other distinguished military
charatters, either on missions, or residing in the
Departments, to come immediately to Paris. Gene.
ral LEFEVRE from Besanc)n, General Mot, IToR
from Nancy, General Dux EM from Lyons, General
CERBELLONI from Marseilles, and Gen. SEBASTI-
ANI from Honfleur, are already arrived.
The Russian Emperor has distributed among 114
Priests, recommended by the Synod, golden crosses
and violet velvet bonnets, as distinlions and rewards
for their zeal and piety. At the Coronation of our
Emperor, it is expea-ed that several hundred of our
Clergymen, who have proved themselves Patriots a 3
well as Christians, will be nominated Members of
the Legion of Honour.
Several rich cargoes from Batavia have lately en-
tered the Texel, in ships under American and Danish
colours.

Considerable stir has been made in Jamaica, on ac-
count of a cargo of Negroes, who had been sentenced
to banishment from the island of Tobago for rebel-
lious practices, and shipped on board a sloop, for the
purpose of being sold to the Spaniards, having been
brought to Jamaica, and there sold to the inhabitants,
through the agency of one of the merchants of the
City of Kingston. Sixteen of these rebels were iden-
tiied at the Barracks in Kingston, by General CAR-
MICHAEL, who at the same time prthiuced the do-
cuments of their trial and sentence at 'Tobago. The
purchasers, on the quality of their newly acquired
bargains being made known, were obliged to de.
liver them up, when they were sent on board the
prison-ship, to be transported off the Hand.
