DUMFRIES, OCTOBER 10.

We have had nothing but throng and gaiety in this
place for some time past. The week before last was
the Rood Fair; owing to the fine weather, and the
harvest being all over, it was well attended ; the dis-
play of cnuatry beaus and belles was very great :
we had also the Circuit and; of course, the Circuit
Balls that week.

Our Races commenced on Monday last; but, upon
the whole, the sport was not good : the turf was in
very fine order, and, with the exception of the two
last days, the weather was very favourable. The
Race-course was well attended, particularly on Tues. '
day. The Yeomanry Race was a particular induce-
ment, and drew out an immense crowd of all descrip-
tions to the festive scene at Tinwald Downs, about
three miles from this town. During the week, pub-
lic breakfasts were•at the Assembly Rooms, ordi-
naries at the King's Arms and George Inns, and
Assemblies every night.
On Friday night the Dumfries and Galloway Hunt
gave an elegant Ball and Supper at the Assembly-
Rooms : a more brilliant display of beauty and
fashion has seldom been seen in any provincial town
in the kingdom. The Theatre has been very well
attended, and under the judicious management of
Mr. BETTERION, has given great satisfaction. But
although gaiety and hilai ity have prevailed for a
time, the more generous feelings of the heart were
called into action also. Charity extended her benign
influence to the poor yesterday, being the day ap-
pointed for the Annual Charity Sermon for the sup-
port of the Hospital or Poor-house. A most eloquent,
appropriate and impressive Sermon was preached on
the occasion in St. Michael's Church, by the Rev.
Dr. LAMowr, chaplain, for Scotland, to the PioNct:
of Wm.: s the church was crowded, and a very li-
beral collection was made; at the same time a do-
nazion of twenty guineas was announced from JOHN
ANDLRSON, Esq. of Fermoy, a Gentl-man of great
benevolence. A beautiful Hymn, wiitten for the oc-
casion by the Rev. Mr. \Violin:mg, of Kirkmahoe,
was sung by the children.
When the service was over, the Magistrates, Di-
rectors, and Friends of the Charity, with the Preacher
of the day, dined together at the King's Arms Inn.

tance by desire of the French Consul. The Sublime
Porte has acknowledged the justice of the principle,ePared
which has induced another power to exclude the Ame.

goods. The new Ministers closely adhere to the sp.
tern which has been adopted by the whole Continent
against England.

The repors circulated with so much confidence,
that this city was to be entirely evacuated by th,

neither is it yet confirmed that the French are, by a
new Convention, to occupy Pillau, Coiberg, and Stet-
tin, with a force of 2000 men, to guard the coast of
the Baltic. The report that a considerable abatement
was to be made from the amount of the contribution
is eqUallTwithoett confirmation.

As soon as the arrival of the Russia* Emperor in
our environs was announced, his Prussian Majesty
went out to meet him, with a numerous suite. On a
level ground near Koningstadt, both Monarchs
alighted from their carriages, and embraced each
other in the most affectionate manner. On the 19th,
the birth-day of Prince Augustus, both the illustrious
friends paid him a visit of congratulation. On the
21st, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the Russian
Monarch continued his journey for Erfurth,

4IIIERDEEN, OCTOBER 8.

Wednesday l Ist, the Animal October Meetin.; of
the Northern Shooting Club commenced, and Ordi-
naries and Assemblies take place at Cleugh's and An-
derson's.alternately for the week. Our old favourite,
Mr. BELL, supplied very well the want of forenoon
'musements, by a variety of Theatrical Recitations,
&c. which afforded good entertainment to a numer-
ous and respectable aud:ence, who were at the same
time highly gratified by the excel.lent performance of
a youth thirteen years of age, on the Northumberland
Bagpipe, whose execution on that instrument, gave
very great promise. The meeting was not very nu.
mErously attended ; among others, we observed the
following distinguished families

The 1%171;1111s of Huntly, Earl of alboyne, Earl of Errol, Earl
of Aberdeen, Earl of Caithness, Lord New.on, James Ferguson,
Esq. M. P. Colonel Horn of I.egie, Colonel lit-Ann!, &lona

Farquhar, Esq. M. P. Col. Gordon of Leechieston, &c. &e.

In going over a field of corn on the farm of Nether-
town of Boddom, a single grain of oats was, upon in-
spection, found to have produced 52 stalks, bear-
ing 5100 grains of corn. In the same field, another
single grain was found to have produced 52 stalks
bearing 4144 grains. And had any examination been
made, there can be no doubt it would have led to the
discovery of many other stalks, equally productive.
Some nights since, a person in the Hardgate had
all his crop of oats, which was cut down and stand-
ing in an adjoining field, completely carried off. It
is said, that from eighty to ninety stooks, each
stook consisting of twelve sheaves, have bees thus
stolen from this poor man, who is thereby de-
in ivad of the fruit of his year's labour, and conse-
quently of support for his family. No discovery has
yet been made of the depredator, although it is said
strong suspicions are entertained, which, it is hoped,
may lead to detection.

Every man of business In the British Empire must recollect how
much he had to unlearn in the practice of Arltlunetic, when
having left school he first entered into the commerce of life, and
also how little he had learnt which war strictly applicable to real
transactions. The present System of Arithmetic, disregarding the
letters ut its predecessors, has consulted alone the actual and pre-
vailing eecasions for the exercise of this useful Art. Every
branch of trade and manufacture has been sedulously consulted
in the new exemplification of the various Tables of Weights and
Measures; every thing obsolete or useless in other books of
Arithmetic has been expunrd ; and every thing has been intro-
duced that is essentiaily necessary.

BARHAM'S, AUGUST 27.

Letters from Porto Rico of the 9th inst received
at St. Thomas, state that an insurrection nad taken
place at Aguailia, a town on the south coast of that
island, where us of SOO Frenchmen were put
to death by" the Spaniards, who have determined to
expel every foreigner, except the English, from the
Island ; and that the Government should be confined
to a Junta, as in the mother countrr.
A free intercourse has already been opened by the
Islands of Tortola, St. Thomas, and Santa Croix,
with Porto Rico, where the most friendly reception
is given to the English ; and, in testimony of the re-
L.igrocal good understanding now existing with that
nd, Brigadier-General Harcourt has issued a pro-
clamation at- Santa Croix, " ordering and directing,
in consequence of the renewal of friendly intercourse
and mutual accommodation happily established with
the island of Porto Rico, that au ships and vessels
bearing his Catholic Majesty's flag shall be received
into the ports and harbours of Santa Croix and its
depindencies with every possible attention and re-
spect.; and that the subjects of his Catholic Majesty
be received as friends ; and all Spanish vessels, not
having more than one deck, be allowed to import
mules, cattle, timber, fruit, &c. into the same."
It is not at Porto Rico alone where this friendly
disposition towards the English prevails, but equally
along the whole coast of South America the Spa-
niards have opened an intercourse with us, and received
us as fr ends and allies. At La Guira it is manifes-
ted in a particular degree, and the most unbounded
confidence reposed in our co-operation and as,istance.
The sloop Lapwing, an English privateer, lately from
thence, arrived at Tortola, states that the British and
Spanish flags were hoisted in union on all the forts ;
and that the Spaniards, relying more on the judge-
ment and information of Our officers, than on their
own, had placed them under the command of the
marine officers of his Majesty's ship Acasta, with
whom rested the privilete of admitting vessels in:
to the ports and harbours along that coast.
We greatly lament to hear ,if the dreadful morta-
lity which has raged among the marine garrison of
Marigalante, which, in less than two months, has
been reduced by death to nearly one third of its whole
strength. Among the unfortunate sufferers of that
valuable cops cif our naval force are included eight
or ten offices: of different ships that had been attach-
ed to the garriton.

In consequence of the urgent necessity of adopting
the most prompt measures to counteract the intrigues
of the French at the Court of Persia, General Mal-
colm had set out before Sir Harbord Jones, who had
been sent from England with a view to the same ob-
ject, had arrived at this place. We have received
accounts of the General having landed in safety at
Bushire, and having sent on Mr. Pasley to announce
his approach. Instead of 300 Frenchmen, as had
been reported, it had been ascertained that there were
only 30 at the Court of Persil

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

['HE Advantage the Public must always deriv.
-11- from regularly educated professional men directing abisoc:
exclusively their studies to one species of malady, was never mat
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which he
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the estrum
dirtary cures it has performed. Fora tong series of years, Mesas
Coveiti r and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, have'
made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their investi.
gation, and are happy in having discovered a tisedicinesupirlor to
merebry in the cue of that complaint ; -it is sufficient to otistuse
that the effects of this remedy are diatnetrically opposite to the.,.
of mercury, for thoughit completely eradicates every vestige of •
the virus, in itsniost conftrmad stages, yet it does not in tiniest:

corrective to bodily debility, witetherproceedingfrom an egress

not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both MO
in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst. the melancholy variety oft'l
disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there as
none more afflicting than that distressing state of delAlity and de-

unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashamed to seek nu

PARLIAMENTARr PAOCEZDING&

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH S.
Lorti.Late's Annuity Bill, and the Siete Creditorsl44 were
received from the Commons, and read a eht time.
The Esri of LAUDERDALE liesrPsPia his kweiss tar the
consideration of the commercial policy of the Orders in Council,
froth Friday until Monday next.
Lord HOLLAND also postponed his motion for the consider-
ation of the general policy of those orders, from Thursday nett
until Thursday sennight.
Lord GRENVI'LLExoseiIi put a quistion to the
Noble Secretary of State, before the House entered
on the important discdssion which was this night to
engage- their attention, respecting a topic which of
late hadoften been alluded to in the course of debate.
I'he subject to which he referred was the assertionp
made by the Noble Secretary, most assuredly with no
design to mislead, that the treaty signed with Ame-
rica by the late Administration had been received in
America, previous to the separation of Congress, and
that the treaty was refused to be ratified, and dial
sent back by the President of the United States. Now
he believed he might safely venture to say, that nei-
ther of these assertions was founded in fact ; and 11
the Noble Secretary had advanced any such assertions
without due consideration, he was convinced that his
usual candour would incline him to acknowledge the
inadvertence.
Lord HAW K ESBURY repeated what he had be.
fore said, viz. that an official copy of the treaty, to:
gether with a dispatch from the Noble Secretary of
State (Lord Howick) had been received in Americaa,
antecedent to the separation of Congress ; that is to
say, it was received by the British Minister at Wash-
ington on the 2d of March, and the Congress, he be.'
lieved, separated on the 3d of the same month. That
the Senate sent a message to the President, expressing
a wish to know whether it was his intention to make_
any communication to them previous to their separa.:',
tion ? that the answer of the President was in the ne.
gative ; and that it was generally understood the'
President was displeased with the omission of the ar-
ticle respecting the question of the impress of seamen.
Lord AUCKLAND thought this a matter of such
importance, that it could not be too fully discussed,
and understood. He contended the treaty was still,
in America, and that the President betrayed no other
wish than •to continue and follow up the treaty until

it was brought to an amicable conclusion.
Lord HOLLAND briefly endeavoured to impress
upon their Lordships, as an inference from what had
now transpired, that Mr. Jefferson's object in with-
holding the treaty, for a short interval, from the Se-
nate, was rather to ensure its acceptance at a subse-
quent period, than to throw any obstacle in the way
of a friendly arrangement with this country.
