Every mai of business in the British Empire must recollect bow
much he had to unlearn in the practice of Arithmetic, when
having left school he first entered into the commerce of life, and
alio how little be had learnt which was strictly applicable to real
transactions. The present System of Arithmetic, disregarding the
letters of its predecessors, has consulted alone the actual and pre-
vailing occasions for the exercise of this usefht Art. Every
branch of trade and munifacture has been sedulously consulted
in the new exemplification of the various Tables of Weights and
Measures; every thing obsolete or useless in other bboks of
Arithmetic has been expunged ; and every thing has bein intro-
duced that is essentially necessary.

immediate objects of this soothing balm, whose benign influence

and HEALTH will produce the happiest effects ; the cold and

COPENHAGEN, OCTOBER 25.
The merchants of this city have opened a subscrip-
tion for raising a considerable sum of money to, be
offered to his Majesty, by way of a loan. The sum
subscribed amounts already to 1,800,000 rig-dollars
(about 350,0001. sterling), and one house has sub-
scribed 100,000 banker-marks (about 10,0001. ster-
ling.)
The English ship of war, which lately fought a
very smart action with our flotilla of row-boats, lost
two masts and the bowsprit was also shot away. The
fleet of merchantmen which she convoyed, consisting
of 150 sail, has passed the Sound. The Danish war-
riors who fell in that action were the day before yester-
day buried at Dragoe. All the Officer. of the flotilla
of row-boats attended, in solemn procession, the de-
parted heroes to their graves.
VIENNA, OCTOBER 15.
His Royal Highness the Archduke Charles set out
the day before yesterday from this city for Presbnrg,
to his Majesty the Emperor. The report that the lat-
ter will have an interview with the Russian Monarch
in Galicia is doubted.
FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS TO THE 6th INSTANT.
PARIS, OCTOBER 27.
The letter which the English papers have pub-
lished as having been sent by the King of Sweden to
the Emperor of Russia, respecting the conduct of the
Russians in Finland, is evidently of English manu-
facture. The English have caused it to be translated
into all languages, and to hawk it throughout Eu-
rope ; they have thrown it in large quantities upon
every coast. The English Ministry can only derive
from this expence confusion, and tile King of Sweden
ridicule.—(Argun.)
We are again assured, shat the French troops in
Germany will assume the title of the Army of to
Rhine.

GERLACH.

OCTOBER 28.—The English Journals, in speaking
of the affairs in Port Baltic, treat, as interviews and
negotiations, the simple sending of t flag of truce.
We know how the Russian Admiral iepiied to the
English Admiral.
Their Majesties have been at Paris since the 25th.
It seems certain that the Emperor will remain in this
capital till his departure for Bayonne.
OCTOBER 29.—The rumour of the departure of the
Emperor for Bayonne last night was circulated, but
it is not confirmed. Yesterday he went to the Mu-
seum to see the statues arrived from the Villa Bor
ghese. He was the evening before at the Theatre
Francais, to see the Coquette Corr:gee.
The Sub-Prefect of L'Orient has announced that
the exportation of grain to foreign ports, is permitted
from L'Orient and Vannes.
M. de Romanzow occupies the hotel of Prince Eu-
gene.
The Generals of the sth, 25th, and 26th military
divisions, have given the most positive orders to take
up all Spanish Officers and soldiers who may cross
the Rhine, to go into France.
OCTOBER 30.—The Moniteur of this day states, that
his Imperial and Royal Majesty set off yesterday at
noon, on his journey to Bayonne.
The Journal de 'Empire says, that her Majesty the
Empress accompanies her illustrious spouse as far as
Rambouillet.
On the 28th the Emperor surveyed the public
works which are going on, in pursuance of his orders,
in various parts of this capital. His Majesty arrived
at eight in the morning, at the Place des Fillet de St.
Thomas, in a very plain carriage, and without any
retinue. After minutely inspecting what has been
hitherto done there, and asking some questions of the
workmen employed in pulling down the old buildings,
the Emperor drove off in his carriage to the street of
St. Denis, and alighted at the new conduit making
in that quarter. His Majesty examined it from one
end to the other, and seemed highly pleased with
that superb work. His Majesty then visited several
of the hospital:, of Paris, and informed himself of the
state of their internal management, enquiring into
the minutest circumstances. _ _

Marshal Molder (Duke of TreTiso), and General
Suchet's division, have arrived here.
The Senatoi, General Valence, has arrived at Or-
leans, after reviewing at Sedan the fine bod♦ of men
composing the Polish clivicion, under orders for Spain.
He has also reviewed at Orleans three regiments,
forming part of the division which is to serve under
his command in Spain.

By an order of the Imperial Count, who is Director
of the War Adrninist: axon, published at Toulouse on
the 14th ult. those who furnish carts drawn by oxen I
for the conveyance of the troops, are allowed two
'francs for each man whom they carry from one halt-
ing place to another, when the distance is not less'
that nine leagues.
The capitulation of the Island of Capri, which was
concluded on the 17th instant, was scarcely signed
when a convoy hove in sight coming from Sicily, with
the regiment of Watteville on board, to the assistance
of the English garrison. This reinforcement, however,
came too late for the English, and could only witness
their submission.

On the 28th, two Couriers arrived here from
London.
Th. nye pei cents. are at 80f. 50c.

BAYONNE, OCTOBER 22.
By letters received from the interior of Spain, it
appears that the unbridled fury of the revolutionary
commotions begins to flag of itself, and that the power
supposed to be possessed by the fit st instigators of
them, begins to exhaust itself from its own violence.
We even learn, that amidst the fury of the first ex•
cesses perpetrated in some places against the French,
several towns had declared in favour of measures
more consonant to the dictates of humanity. At
Alicant, for instance, our countrymen have got off
with three months imprisonment. The ringleaders,
it is true, demanded their heads but the firmness cf
the Governor and his secretary prevented the execu-
tion of the cruelties intended by the insurgents. Jus-
tice also requires that it should be known, that the
Religious Ministry was honoured by the zeal of the
Canon Santo, and a Dominican, ulto greatly exerted
themselves to preserve the French from the fury of
the mob. Their property was secured by being placed
tinder sequestration, acid there is every reason to hope
that it will be restored upon the entrance of the Im-
perial army. Numerous bodies of the insurgents dis-
v'rse themselves upon the approach of the feeblest
rench corps. All that had arrived at Alicant in
their way to defend Valencia, separated from each
other without so much as waiting for a sight of the
French. After the bloody scenes which took place
at Valencia, the Junta fortunately again assumed the
supreme authority, and caused many of the 1200
brigands, who took a part in these assassinations, to
be apprehended and executed. This sentence was
carried into effect in the night, and next morning
their bodies were exposed in the street with this in-
scription : 4, For murdering the French, and com-
mitting theft and other excesses."
It appears, however, that such enormities took
place only in the kingdom of Valencia ; and that at
Cadiz, Seville, Malaga, and other cities, the French
have been treated with every degree of respect.
According to some reports, the English are nego-
ciating a treaty with the Emperor of Morocco, which
stipulates, that the latter shall, in case of necessity,
supply them with an army of 80,000 men, who are
to pass the Straits of Gibraltar, and land in Spain.—
We are as yet at a loss to say whether this intelli-
gence is gravely stated, or whether it is a piece' of
irony meant to exemplify the expedients to which the
English are compelled to have recourse.
We have received no news by the last post from
Spain. We learn only, that General Lasalle had
pushed on to Haro, where he came up with, and cut
in pieces from three to four thousand insurgents,
almost all of them students and monks, who took the
silly denomination of the Literary Battalion. A num-
ber of them were made prisoners.
Generals Blake and de la Romana are still at Bil-
boa, where they will be attacked by a strong division
of the French that has been assembled at Durango.
A single battle, if they only dare hazard it, will be
sufficient to annihilate those doughty Castilians, who
hitherto have done nothing but fly before our troops
in all directions.
