At the meeting of this 'Society, nn Tuesday the
sth ;(Sirlames Halt, Bart. Al. P. in the Chair),
.sevcral interesting and useful communications were
read :

---- •
1, An account of the propagation, by cutting, of
he original or burnOt apple, by Dr. Duncan, sen.
e. On the' Ow siivestris, or Scots fir, and its
varieties, by Mr, D. Don, Forfar,
3. On destroying the blue inAed which infests
fruit trees, by Mr. P. Barnet, gardener, Amisfield.
4. On the different kinds of gooseberry caterpil-
lars, and the methods of destroying them, by Mr.
Glib, Bast Linton.
5. On destroying wasps, by Mr. Mitchell, gar-
dener, Muncrieff house.
The silver medal was awarded to-Mr. James ,Nlac •
donald, gardener to the Duke. of Buccieugh and,
Queensberry, Dalkeith, for the best spring brucoli ;
and to Mr. William Mileck, gardener to the Earl of
Home, HirSelt, fur the best winter lettuce, produced
1 at the meeting. '
A CoMMittee was appointed to examine the Es-
say,: which had been received on preventing the
curl in potatoes, and on destroying gooseneity cater-
pillars, and to report whit:), if any, is intitled to
the medal offered, ' .

In consequence of the great success attending the
exertions of British Officers in 'naming the Porte-
guese troops, Spaniards ~re also to be trained on a
very extensive scale, under the auspices of the Bri-
tish Officers and the British Government. An este-
bli‘dimeei is no terming tor this purpose in the
Island of Nlajorea, whet e the Spaniards can be dis-
ciplined without danger of interruption until they
are perfeaed in the use, of arms; an advantage they
cannot have in Spain, as, the moment they assetn-
bltin any very goat body, an army of Frenchmen
proeeeds to'disturb and attack them. Arms, accou-
nements, and ei. thing, are now preparing in Eng-
land Cut tt,e equipment of•thixty thousand men in
Majorca, , all Spaniards, to be sent into Spain ten
thousand at a time, when they are perlecied in the
use of arms, and the necessary twaratuvres—a pro-
cess which will take ' about two mouths. Lord
Wellington has spared, many of his. best Stejeants,
and some • excellent Officers, for this purpose, and
ii tubers are going from other quarters. The uni-
form of - the intatetry is to be scarlet coats, of the
cavalry, lemon coloured jackets ; of the artillery,
dark blue ; and of rifles, or sharp-shooters, of which
there ate to be two or three regiMents, dark green.
The uniforms !will therefore very much resemble
the British. Should this way of proceeding be
found as successful who the Spaniarda, as it has
been found with the Portuguese, it is supposed it
will be continued to a very great extent. There can
bea) want of recruits to, any:. numbet--:-recruits,
too, whose hearts and souls are enthusiastically em•
barked in the Cause. • - - . -
On Saturday an attempt at: eseipe was made by
the French prisoners at Eakmill,, near Edinburgh,
which, although at first h ri.eemea to`, threaten seri-
ous consequettees, was happily , subdued without
bloWshedl It appears that some suspicion of their
intention having arisen, the prisoneia were ordered
to aurn out, asrhich they did with cciusiderable re-
luctance, when a hole was discovered' to have, been
deg under the tontelation of the wall, nearly cool-
mnnicating with the °wattle. ',Toe pa isoners, upon
leienitta their disapptentment,,becie ee quite tutbn-
lent, and vented their rage by demolishing the win-
dows of the house occupied by the Chief in "Crum,
tuand at the place,; tior could they be brought to sub-
Mission till an aalition to the military fence arrived:
An increased supply of ball-cartridges has been since
delivered to the soldiers 5! and some field pieces have
beeri got in readiness, in case of necessity. Several
French Officers, who were supposed. to be iesti4a-
tors of the disturbance, were brought to the Castle,
to be contiaed by themselves.,
GRAVEL—A philanthropist begs to communicate
to the %/Odd the following simple remedy for the
Gravel :----Diasolve threedrachms of prepared, ratio)
lima quart of 'cold soft water, and take half this
quantity in the course of the d,)y. Continue this
medicine fbr a feW days, and tha painful coniplaint
will be dislodged. It may be taken at any hour,
but is best after a meal. The greatest martyrs to
this disorder ltave been perfettly relieved by this

A NTlsall rriLs--One day
,last Week, as some la,
tourers wete employed in grubbing op the roots of
an oak tree,: that had fallen in Newid: Park, for,.
riserly the resideece'of the late Sir E. IMPEY, but
now the propeity of J. Pow ELL, ,Esq. discovered,
in a sandy soil, two urns, containiug, as we tOll7
'pante, the. burnt bones and ashes of ,fiorne persons
of distiotliOn, whose bodies, at ter their decease,
were consumed,- according to the dostoms of the
itomanS, oe an adjacent altar, which, we are per-
suaded, hy'a little antiquarian research,. might have
been etsily traced. These urns, which were of
more elegant formation, and finer finish than of the
kind we had ever before seen, were placed on their
bottoms, under corers of the
,same tuanuta4ure,
contrary to several we have seen dug up,,which had
their mouths' whelmtd down, resting upon a large
flint or flag. One was .demolished before- the la-
bourers were aware of • the circumstance ; the other
presenteditselt entire, but was broken, through the
carelessriessof the men, who bestowed no pains to pre-
serve it, haVing felt greatly disappointed on finding
that money formed no part of thew contents. These
entieue•vesSela were made of very tine earth, of a
pale colour, but their onter'and inner surfaces ac•
quired a ueiform blackness, that we are unable to
account for, as it is' removable by the appl'catien
or soap and water, which, we are inclined to I Mel:,
weaulci ndt be the case, were it considered the effect
of tire.
Mmssioti-House.---A man named Davis, was
brought up by. Bratisconln and Sayer, the one ae
Otticer belonging to the Mansion-house, the other
to Bow-street, charged on suspicion of torging a
considerable number of notes, purporCeg to be
those of a bankieg-horse .it Bristol, and payable at
the Housiti of Hammett and Co. bankers, Lotislen.
Sometime since two bundles' of these notes were,
sent from a person at Garraway's Cutfee-house, for,
payment at the Bank of .Hammett and Co. and they
appeared to be all struck from one plate ; and alt the
mars% and signatures so well imitated, that they
were paid without hesitation, in three Bank of Eng-
land notes of 501. each. The notes were afterwards,
on discovering tile forgery, advertised, and one'of
them traced to the posseassion• of the prisoner • at.
Bristol, where he was appiehended, and brought,
up to town. He was remanded for further exami-
nation.
At the Pudic Office, 'Hatton-garden,, George
Sthallow apprelientied• on Sunday night last, neat
St. Giles's charged with having, made his escape out
of the Giltspur-street Confiner, in women's cloaths,
a few weeks since, was fully committed to Newgate
for-trial.
Yesterday morning, between i 2. and 1 o'clock,
the premises -belongitig to Mr. Kennedy., musical
instrument 'Maker; in Prince's-street, Westminster,
were broketi knto, and robbed 01 instruments to a
great' aniount.
.11NERICAN VINEYARDs.--.We leant that at Swit-
zerland,' in the Indiana territory, the Swiss emi-
grams have made, during. the last season,- nearly
three thousand gallons of wine. Time, however,
is oecessaty to bring their vlntiyards,as well as their
wine, to any degree of pertettion: Since they put.,
chased of the United States, the land Which they
tiow possess, some of the Company.. returned to
their native country to bring a greater variety of
vine sliptiahut owing to the peculiar itituation of
that canister, they, as yet, have 1101, been able to
aLcomplisli, their return, which has very meet) re-
tarded that rapid cultivation of the grape which
would ntherwise have taken place.
Thursday se'neight, al rived 'at the Half. Moon,.
Big-ram irket, in Newcastle, in the Carlisle coach, a
boy about seven years old, iu company with a re-
eruitine, party of the artillery. As the party were
proc,cmiling up Newgate-street with the boy, he
arrested the attention of several persons by crying,
wheal a crowd was presently collected. On the
boy being questioned, he said his name was George
Halbeit, twat he belonged to Carlisle and ,bad.becn,
enticed 'thence with gingerbread •,by the, soldiers:
'The• soldiers, on the contrary, asserted that they
had itit order from their officer, to go to Hexbarn
to meet the boy, and take, him up to :Woolwich.
This; however, not satisfying.the populace, the boy,
was taken from,them, and carried. bad: the Halt
Moon; the seldiers were permitted teeproceed.
As seen .as the circumstance': was wade known to
the magistraie4, they, 'with a spirit that digielies
their situation, oidered the boy to be takers care of,
till an inquiry could be made atter his friends, crud
he now remnants at the. Half Moot;. •

UPON THE 'NOTES IN THE MONITEUR OF THE CaTti

OF PRIMARY, 1811.

BY GENERAL SAMIAZI.N.

I perceive with regtet, General Bonaparte,
you are incorrigible. My refielfitions on your . for-
mer Notes, and, above all, your " Confession to
the Abb6 Maury," should have convinced you ..of
the inutility of your furious declamations, of your
ridiculous bravadoes, turd of your foolish prediclions.
Would you know what Europe, and
,particularly,
England, thinks of your gigantic projea. ?• They
are computed to castics in the air, or to tha taice;i
in. Carnival time. , •

Your defenders pretend, that our lueuhrations
tend only to flatter your pride. They eten ea
far as to say, that we serve you better wbh our veto
than we ever did with our sword;--and that, at tile
very time, when we prove, not by words, bet ray
facts, that the inhabitants of Syria, ot Egyet,, of
Spain, and ,of St. amliligo, dcaire unitoinioosly.
that on your forehead ought to be ceigtaved the
three charatleristic` titles of all, your actions--
". cruelly, robbery,.and infamy."
We reserve our reply to the observations
have been made on your (c. contessine," till .01r
other occupations glee us leisute.; but we caniu
postpone repdling the odious Charees in your notes,
upon the English nation, plea i makipg, thus rt
upontheir author,,. .1 hate no need to littoral Not.)
beforehand, that I shah be lienk, and impartul.
During the fourteen years I nave cerrespore:ed with
yon, I dare defy you to convict nee of toe sliehie-ic
falsehood, Be assured, that in this addree,
shall find- me the,samti na btifore.
When I. arrived in Dielatid, toy first tpiestion
was, " Why, was not the Isle of France oinicked ?"
Though Englisa politicians do not ()hell
the GenV,eman to whom I put, this question oei
lauLing, and replied. " That heleato hed,b en
looked upon as itopregneble."_ :Uodeeeite pior.

tour years, has.wishea to see himielt mucked, :Al
toe inhaettants of the Isle of Fraiice also. Tee
tormere in•order to be delivered tram his, exile.; aed
the latter, to be, no longer the bectiort of the, s.deltt:
Wes of Buonaparte.", ?vly opinion was relisl.ett ; -
and events have justified- my aysertien, whoi.h ;is
101.111(11.-iii on declarations that had been made to fire
by Ofiieeti recently arri..ed flow that colony.
when that important post no longer is yours,
yNooutvr:ppear to make light of it. butt will not ,
knowledge that was lost through -yetur tank,
theugh t hat might be easily proved e bet you ascribe
it to the maritime superiority of. Englato. If\!hat
absurd-reasoning! the Isle of Fiance were a
aquadron; it would be natural to say that it • must
• yield to maritime supertority ; but it i. an island.,
the coasts of w hieh are almostinapcessible—briste
ling with rugged tocks. The no: ulatioe is nuttier-
ous.and warlike; and the positions of the interior,
admitting the pessittility • of..a .riebarka ioe,,present
great advantagts for sweess'ully resisting a forte
double or even triple in number. But you negleet•
ed sending. thither a saficient garriann ; you sent no
money ; the troops of the' line and the inhabitants
saw with regret the sad fate reset reel for them, and
they-put op•wishes for 'a new order of things, which
fortumately were gratified on the 2d of Secembe:,
1810, the anniversary ot your corpeation and at the
battle of Ansterlitz, That day, so fatril to France,
:Ind to the Continent, will he for the commerce of
England an epoch ever memorable, by a conqutet
at once honourable and lucrative.
You say that this cob ny will be restored to you
ihe peace, of that you .will retake it when yeu shall
have, too ships of the line (see the " Confession of
Buonaearte to the Abb(..i4aury," page 185). You •
are mistaken in both points. If peace eter take
place with you, I do not retend to know the in-
tentions of the Cabinet of St. bares's, but I dare
assure you, thio they would. as•sooll give up to pa
Dover end 'its Castle, is resign the Isle Of France;
btemne now,the Gibraltar of the British possessions •
in the East Indies; I even think that you would be'
completely exiled from these riiet countries, where,
under pretence of commereisl speculations, the in
triguet, of your egtees would be a perennial sours e.
of discord-and disturbance, as long is you were ed•
misted there.
It exLites- much surprise to see a man who only
speaks by nine hundreds of .millions, congratelate
himselt upon an event ;ttily disastroua, otiderette
specious pretext that it will atfora him a saving of
twenty wiltions, which lie .already approprilitvs
