caster, on the table ; the gentleman had left the
room ; the witness went to bring up dinner—
when he returned to the coffee.room, the articles
and the prisoner were gone. He informed his mis.
tress and her son of the circumstance ; they desir.
ed him nut l• take any notice, bet watch the pri.
sorer when he again came. Yesterday he came ;
the witness was cleaning the plate ; the prisoner

EXTRAORDINARY ABSTINENCE.

The follottin4 remarkable ease has been con.
municated to us from respcetabie authoriv.—
Some very extraordinary instances of ahsfiiience
arc recorded In medical works, but we do ant re.
collect ahy that in all respects can be compared
with this :--

" Ann Moore, aged forty-eight, now livin;
at Tutbnry, in Staffordshire, has swallowed nu
kind of food whatever, either soli:I or fluid,
for the last tiro years and a ha'f. Her api:mite
began to decline about seven years ago, in con.
sequence of weak digestion, and in March 1807, the
passages to'her stomach became completely closed,
so as not to admit of her swallowing even a single
drop of water; from the pit of her stomach down.
wards she is a mere skeletutt, notwithstanding
which her countenance is perfectly cheerful, and
has the appearance of good health. So late tai
last Friday, she was visited by the writer of 11114
article, and was then iu excellent spirits, and felt
no pain whatever, except a slight shooting across
her forehead ; she has been offered 10001. to visit
the metropolis, and bough pour, she declines
leaving her home and friends. She never sleeps,
but amuses herself by reading all night, and re-
ceiving the visits of vast numbers who daily flock
to her humble roof. Her memory is amazingly re-
tentive, and she feels no inconvenience but front
the approAch of persons who have been &biking
spirits, which affects her much. NUMetulll me-
dical men base gone from London to behold this
wonccrful thenumeno.t, and on examination, are
fully convinced, front her appearance, that no im.
position whatever has been practised."

• Nay a'l,ll t, Avo. 2.—Mr., Colo, the Meow
Stinger to France, in the Syrea, passed through
this city sesterday morning, on his way to the
ray of IVashington. The celerity with which
Mr. Coles travelled, has led to the opinion Bust
he is the bearer of important dispatches from
France. Added to this, we understand, that at
the time of his departure for France, it was his
intention, in case the slate of our affairs would
permit, to remain in that country twu.or three
years. His siuldut return, therefore, does not
'lwo favourably to the hopes of a good under-
issioding with the French Government. Several
lite letters concur in alluding to the probability
of Mr. Armstrong's speedy return twine. Every
information from France increases in hostility to
this country. A recent letter from Paris posi-
tively states that Mr. ArnistronA's luggav was
actually shipped ins board the Mentor, and that
he n•is tp embark iminediatek. The French Go.
verunient, it is said, will give facility and safety
to our commerce on no other terms than our with-
drawing (ruin all connection with Great Britain.

humiliating ron:litiun arc we reduced ! At the ap-
proaching nicetiog of the Heads of the Depart-
ments, it will fortunately happen that the Cabi-
net is in puss- ssion of very lee dispatches (ruin
France as well as England. They will be pre-
sented with a Whole view of the existing state of
Otte Vigil relations.

Ni.vr-Yonw, AVG. 3.—The Mayor of this city
his issued a Proclamation, interdicting, under
heavy penalties, intercourse with the inliabitaies of
Brat:kip', on account of the prevalence there of a
pestilential or infectious disease.
Mr. Erskine, the British Minister, arrived at
Washington on Friday last.
The kyren, Captain Gurtlon, which brought
Mr. Co!es, the Messenger, sai!ed from L'Olient
the 14th of June. The dispatches from Mr.
Armstrong are said to be of an unfavourable
nature.

There is some doubt of Mr. Jackson's mectinz
nitlt a welcome reception at Washington'. It is said
that Bonaparte, suspecting Mr. Jackson to have
been concerned in a conspiracy againstbim, gave
wallet: to the Powers of Europe some yens since,
that he should consider the acknowledgment of that
Gentleman iu a diplomatic character, as a decia:
ration of War agniast him ; and it would seem
this is now thrown out to deter the President
from receiving tho new Minister. Trusting to the
proverbial politenesi of Mr. MAison, we are
confident that even if Mr. Jackson iiresents him-
self in a riestionable shape, Ito will speak to
him.

" others in pretending to sin • '.;ml %ate the King,
46 so as to annoy the audience, and interrupt the

stated the charge to the Magistrate.
" The Prisoner admitted, that lie had %worn tha
