NEW MODE OF OPERATING ON TEETH.

Some of the papers have entered into a discussion on
the merits of a new mode of operation for the removal of
carious teeth, by Mr. Fay, an American dentist. As this
is a subject of much interest with a large portion of the
public, it is due to them, as well as to Mr. Fay, to state
that his plan, which is founded upon the most correct and
scientific principles, has received the approbation of nearly
all the leading surgeons of the metropolis. Mr. Fay.pn!-
ceeds by excision, and we are assured that the operation is
entirely free from pain, a statement which may readily be
credited when the improved forceps used for the operation
is seen. The reasoning upon which this practice is founded,
and which experience is said fully to have confirmed, is,
that in 999 rases out of 1,000, the seat of digitate is the
crown, not the fang of the tooth, so that by removing
the crown, the pain instantly teases, a new deposit of oast-
fic matter takes place, by which the fang is protected from
external injury, and the cheeks do not fall in, giving a pre-
mature appearance of old age, as *hen the fangs are ex-
tracted, whilst there remains a good basis for'artificial teeth,
if required. By Mr. Fay's process, nothing more is done
to the diseased tooth than the removal of the crown by
the forceps. It is worthy of remark, that in the removal
of the crown by other means, particularly filing, which' is
a practice with most dentists, there is usually acute inflam-
mation, and much subsequent agony. In the rate case of
diseased fang, Mr. Fay, after the removal of the crown, is
we are assured, able, by his ingenious inventions, to re-
move them with as much ease as if the tooth had not been
excised.

• The Lancet of Saturday, speaking of Mr. Fay's mode
of excising teeth, sap—
,4 We dean this a very ingenious and safe operation, and have
no doubt that it trill be generally adopted. It is not intended en-
tirely to supersede extraction, so there must occasionally be cases in
which, m consequence of diseased Censor jaws, that operation will
be required : such cases however, are very rare, in comparison
with those of diseased crowns ; consequently, the procedure shove
described is applicable to the great majority of caws of carious
teeth."

The American Professor Si Him'', in his " Tour of
1819," says.—

" Severe suffering from my teeth, while in Montreal, obliged
me to resort to the usual painful remedy. It was rendered, how-
ever, in the present instance, mush less distressing then common,
by a mode ofertraction whirl I have never seen prattised elsewhere.
" A pair of strong hawks-bill forceps, bent at the mouth, gently
downward, and then inward;and terminating in delicate teeth, is
applied to the tooth to Iv drawn ; no cutting of the gum is prac-
tised, nor any preparation, except limply to place a small piece of
wood (pine is commonly used) between the forceps and the jaw,
and close to the tooth; this stick is the prop--the tooth is the
weight to be lifted, and the hand applies the power just et the end
of the lever, that is, at the other end of the forceps. The pressure
is applied downward, if it be the lower jaw ; upward, if it be the
upper jaw ; and the tooth (without any thing of that horrible
crash which attends the usual mode of extraction, without prying
against the jaw, and thus creating danger of breaking it, beside*
producing much pain by the pressure of the sides of the socket) is
lifted perpendicularly from its bed ; there is no other violence than
to break the periosteum, and the connecting vessels and nerves,
and the thing is effected with comparatively little pain. When it
is desired simply to cut a tooth off, in order to plug it, it is ne-
cessary only to compress the instrument without prying..
" It may be supposed that the pressure against the jaw, by the
prop, must be painful ; on the contrary, it is not felt,, because the
action and re-action are exactly equal, between the premium on thst
jaw and the resistance of the tooth. Dr. Fay, froM Verrsoot, is
the person who operates in this ingenious manner."

w " I am aware. that the thing has been attempted in other
modes, but I believe in none so simple and effectual."

PARIS, SEPT. :26.----WC hatiteti to by before ourreauers
our private letters from C;onstantinople, which come doWn
to the 31st of August, the (lay of the conflagration.
There had been read in all the mosques lirmans, 'exhort-
ing every' Mussulman to offer up the prayers prescribed by
the law, not in private, 'except on account of legitimate
pediments, hut in public, in consecrated places, and at the
same time with the chiefs or superiors to whom they were
attached.

For some days, sergeants (tehanuni) traversed the
streets and the markets to press all the young Turks who
were thought able to bear arms. This rigorous measure
does not prevent them, however, from -,ending to their
homes those individuals who, after examination, refuse to
enter into the new troops, and support their refusal on
plausible grounds. The foot and the horse artillery some-
times exercise themselves in the area of the barracks of
the Great. Cemetery. The Sultan has received, with
great satisfaction, a translation of the rules of the French
Infantry service, to which had been joined eemal designs,
representing the new soldiers in all the positions of manual
exercise. It is one of the sons tit the last Dragoman of
the Porte, the late Yellin Elr'endi, who has executed this
work with great rapidity, and to whom the Grand Seignor
has given orders fork translation of all the French works
relative to the dif.erent branches of military servico—ea-
valry, artillery-, the service of fortresses &c. The Impe-
rial library of the engineers possessed already the greatest
part of these nooks of regulations, which it owed to the
muniticenile of the Sultan, &dim HI.
` It 't
ppears that executions continue in silence, and that
dlnfong the last night mahunnes (passage-boats) traverse
the port, and throw into the Bea every night dead bodies,
which are carried by the current away from the shore bor-
dering on the capital.
'The Grand Seignor expects the arrival of 400 picked
men from Egypt, to, discipline the new soldiers in an uni-
' form manner.

The Esganies, or pay-billets, of which the Porte gua-
rantees the discharge, are severely examined.
This severity Of the Seraskier, Honssein Paella, alarms
the greater number of the Janissaries, who dare not Make
their appearance 'before such a judge. The ridgals, and
several men in place, among others, the waiwode of Ga-
late, have 'renounced the pay-billets which they enjoyed,
and have made a present of the amount to his Highness.
As the Eisaint4 of•the officers of the interior the Se-
raglio have been paid entire, the people murmur at the
circumstance, and there is a talk of a petition from those
interested, to demand the cessation of that abuse,' and to 1
remonstrate against' the shutting of the coffee-housed,l
which.haareduced so many persons to wretchedness.
' There ate, Only, as yet, 13,000 men formed into regi-
ments. :No individual is admitted who has passed 25 or
30 years of age. There were 2,100 on the two shores of
the Bosphonts, ,s,oop.destined to the interior guard of
the capital, and the rest are in the camp of Eski-Semi.—
The manufactory of muskets is going on with activity:
A corps of 1,500 Bostandijs, chosen front among the
unmarried men of this corps, will be set‘apart for the guard
of the Imperial palace at Constantinople. They will be
exercised with care, and will form a guard of honour when
his Highnesi proceeds to the Mosque or to the places of
his promenades. The pages will likewise re-assume' their
ancient habits.
Heir follow the lists of the more recent promotions in
the Pachaliki. Aniong those who have been invested
with additional commands, occur the names of :Hussein.;
Pasha,, Arab Mehemmed-Pacha, and Youssouf-Pacha, the
defender of Num.
' The &mans issued in virtue of a kbatticherif, and rela,
tive to confiscations, manifest the intention of the Sove-
reign respecting this, shameful part of the ancient revenues
of the state; but the example of the' Jewish banker
Chabtchi is not calculated to reassure the public mini
against an avidity deeply rooted, and 'difficult to be tle=
stroycd.
It. is remarked, in this respect, that the Grand Seignor
has not yet dIL rawn piastre front his treasures, and -that,
on the contrary, he is still hoarding. He has reserved for
himself all the pillage of the Jewish banker, which eon,
aiste4, in part, of 'l6O shawls of great value, and of
137,;30 purses, (68,675,000 piastres, or about 32,000,000
of francs), more than a half of which was in.gold, ready
money; and diamonds, and the rest in bills on the Paths
and other personage*. He possessed, besides, great estates,
which are said still to be in the name of his widow. Chaht-
chi had 2,000 purses placed in his hands; at interest, by the
Seraskier, who was so lucky au .to have recovered his ino:7
nay before the Grand Seignor laid ,hold on, this rich sue-
cession. •

6 They estimate at 20,000,000 of pitistres the riches col.l
leeted in the barracks of the ittiliaries without including
tho estates which belonged to them ; waroltfovrtheit

Which form considerable sums. It is, however, by the
produce of the capitation tax of the Hayes that they dis,

of malcontents which !Abound at Constantinople, especially
at Galata and the quarters next the Arsenal, notwithstand»

kindness Ahmed-agot, the chief of. the Tchanuelis' of the
Admiralty, who rendered him such signal services in the
night of the t,l,th of'.tune; and who, since then, htis raised,
at his own expellee, a company of 100 men, whom the
Government has now ordered to be clothed at the ex-
pence of the State. - '
It is said at Constantinople, that the Capitan Pasha
had already sailed from Mitylette, proceeding a second time
for Samos. ' "

' SEPT. 1.--Yesterday morning a terrible fire broke out
at Constantinople, shortly, after the sacred standard had
been removed into the Khasni,:, or Imperial Treasury,—;
The fire began with violence, and spread with frightful
Vapidity. , •
At five o'clock in the afternoon all was still at Con.;

in spite of the report which was spread that it,Waa the,

great activity; but nothing can be done against the lire,
as Water, is wanting to extinguish it. The wind front the
north-oast blew with violeffize, and mkeady it is perceived
that the fire cannot hit stcoppo till it has no more houses,
before it to consume. The palace of the Wand Vizier had
become a prey to the flames at, tic moment of the depar-
ture of the courier.

Public' tranquillity appearing re-establiAied in, the Capi-
tal, the' Sultan believed that he had sufficiently advance&
his Out of reform to allow him to restore the standard of
the Prophet to the Grand Mosque. Preparations for this
ceremony bad been made in such a way that nothing re-
Maine& to be done but to open the gates of the Seraglio,
when, at the same instant, broke out one of the most fright-
ful tires which have ever desolated the capital. It showed
itself first in the house of a baker, and spread With such

'Terror and cortsternatien have reigned since that mo-
ment, and the Sultan finds himself in a very critical poi-

tion. Waves of name, notwithstanding Amours, directed
by the Sultan in person, pass unceasingly over the Seraglio,
the, gates of which are open to all the great fugitives who
had favoured his reforms. They estimate, by approxima-
tion, and by a comparison with the quarter of Pent, the
number of houses burnt at several thousands. Although
the lire hasbeen subdued in some quarters, it has been re-
kindled in others, because the irritated people lend, against
their will, that assistance which ought to be given with,
energy. They look upon the fire as a punishment from
Heaven. We are assured that many persons have already
perished?

GENERAL ORDERS.
Providence has once more blessed with success the British arms
in this country; and in the decisiii defeat of the imposing force
posted under and within the walls of Pagshm-Mew, the Major-
General recognizes a fresh display of the military virtues which
have characterised his troops from the commencement of the war.
Early on this day, the enemy departing from the cautious, sys-
tem of defence behind field-woi ks and entrenchments, which forms
their usual'device of war, and relying on their great numerical su-
periority and singular advantages of ground, ventured on a suc-
cession of bo`..d minuntivres on the flanks and front cif the British
columns. This false confidence has been rebuked by a reverse,
severe, signal, and disastrans.
Their troops, of either arm, were repelled at every point, and
their masses driven in confusion within their City.
The storm of Pagahm-Mew which followed, exhibited the same
feateres of intrepidity and self-devotion.
The fregnency of these ado of spirited • soldiership on the part
of his troops, renders it difficult for the Major-General to vary
the terms of his praise ; bµt he Offers' to every officer and soldier
engaged this day, the tribute of his thinks at 'once, with the affec-
tion of a Commander, and the cordiality of a comrade. a a

AUG. 28.—IntimatiTs have been thrown out in one of the
New Orleans papers, that those parts of our country bordering on
the Mexican province, are in danger of a combined invasion from
the Indians, and therefore, that the state of the frontiers in that
quarter ought to receive the immediate attention of the Executive.
The Louisiana Messenger considers these fears as groundless,
and in reference to the excitement, mentions the following into.
resting particulars
The Indians who trouble the Mexican provinces are the Ca-
wenches. They are the most powerful and warlike tribe of In-
diana in America. Were they' organized, and brought together,
they can bring into the field 15,000 fighting men, as has been
ascertained by the Mexican Government. They inhabit a country
which comtnences not far west of this, whichextends to the sources
of the Red River, 'ln 'the Rocky Mountains; and even beyond that to
the %Stern Ocean. They are well armed for savages—most of the
warriors having arm, a spear, WI an 'arrow.' They are tall,robust,
and muscular—some of them measuring six feet six inches in
height, but the more common Size, is near six feet ; they are said
to be the largest race of men in North America. There is no
instance, we believe, where they have ever united their forces to
any great extent, fur purposes of mischief. They wander, most
of them, through a trackless and dreary wilderness, from year to
year, without any
fixed place of residence. It is impossible to
conciliate them, which is owing principally to their unsettled
state—they are scarcely ever, your neighbours for two weeks at a
time. We believe -doe :their separation into many parties has
given rise to other names for some of them—but we understand
that most of the Indians between this and the ocean are of that
tribe. We submit the brief Outline of the tribe, from the autho-
rity of a gentleman, who left that country not many days since;
but it is not in our payeer to give the geographical position of
those countries, west and Muth-west of us ; nor is there any thing
said of them on the map of the United
States, by which the reader
can tell how the country lies.
Our inform, ot states, that 17 were killed at St. Antonio, from
January until April, by the Camanches—three of whim were
Americana, the others Spaniards. These *eta were committed by
small parties of the tribe it different time_who saved themselves
by flight. Ile states that the2oo men recruiting will be sufficient
for the defence of that plaei. ,

no sooner was, the standard of the Prophet removed
into the Imperial Treasury, on the 31st August, than
a fire as tremendous in its effects, as alarming to the
new order of things in its probable cause, broke forth,
and a conflagration ensued, which had laid thousands
of houses in ashes, and threatened nearly the total
destruction of the whole of Constantinople, at the
date of the last account on the. 3d instant. This
frightful fire is said to have ammenced at the house
of a baker, and to have spread with such rapidity, as
to have had the appearance of having commenced in
a hundred different places at once ; while other and
more probable reports are mentioned, of its having
been the work of incendiaries, and to have arisen from
the deep-rooted hatred of the inhabitants to the re-
forms in progress, which had been alone restrained by
the display of the Sacred Standard. The conflagra-
tion was permitted to extend itself by the want of
energy of some of the inhabitants to extinguish the
fire, and it is even hinted that others rekindled it
when it had expired. In the midst of this fresh cala-
mity, which has spread desolation through his capital,
the SULTAN seems to have acted with the same un-
daunted courage and personal energy, which have
distinguished his whole conduct throughout the
~
me-
morable events of this important crisis in his Empire.
His situation is, however, most critical, and, as the
fate of the Reforms which have been commenced de-
pends entirely on his personal safety, we cannot help
tearing, after this manifestation of the
,public feeling,

tracts relating to the rescript addressed by the Du-
peror NICHOLAS to the Governor-General of St.
Petershurgh, announcing the happy termination of
the Coronation. The great importance attached to
the personal appearance of CONSTANTINZ at this

ceremony, and the terms in which the termination_ of
it is announced, lead us strongly' .to the conchision
that :NICHOLAS does not find himself quite easy on
his Throne, though the Crown of his ancestors has
been placed on his head with the sacred rites of his
religion.

Accounts were received yesterday from Ascension
to the 15th August. Ihe William Harris transport,
with various stores for the use of the garrison, arrives
on the 3d July, and by very great exertion had been
cleared on the 29th. The Louisa transport had alga
arrived a few days after with provisions for the Depot.
The Garrison were all well, and every thing going OP
in the most satisfactory manner. We have receivra
an interesting letter from a Gentleman on the island►
descriptive 'of it, which want of room obliges Lr

We received last night Dutch papers to the 26th
instant, inclusive. They are filled with accounts of
the erects of the late explosion at Ostend ; the damage
done by which is estimated at three millions of
francs.

The following are extracts :

It is fortunate, that at the moment of the explosion the
gates were opened, otherwise the whole town would have
shared the fate of the barracks. There are here three
other powder magazines, at which the guards are doubled..
The garrison is usually performing its exercise at the hour
when the eiplosion took place; but it happened that for
some clays past this had been omitted, on account of te
fever now prevalent, otherwise it is likely that few of the
men would have escaped. Our environs now
