FREDER1CK.ToWN, June IA.

CaterpiL!ars.-We have seen several
accounts Of the ravages committed by u
species OF caterpillar upon the wheat and
rye fields in different parts of this state
and Virginia. In some places, it has
totally destroyed the crops and is extend.
ing its devastations to the corn and grass.
In our county this misehieyous insect
has also made its inroads. Many far
mers, who promised themselves an har.
vest, unusually abundant, have had their
hopes entirely frustrated and are pre-.
scented in their fields with mere waste
Of decaying vegetation. But fortunate.
ly there are some farms, where these
destructive worms have not been seen
and on many, they are in such small
numbers, that no apparent mischief has
yet been done by them.
AL these accounts agree in the descrip-
tion Of the insect and its unbounded vo-
racity in demolishing the blades and
heads Of the grain and in some instances
the stalk also. 1t cannot bear the heat
of sunshine but during a fair day with.
draws itself into the ground and, by
night or when the weather becomes clou.
dy, returns to resume its ravages. In
many places its devastations were so "a
pid, that in the space of a few nights,
large fields of grain have been Destroy
ed by it. 1t is worthy of remark, that
this insect preys principally on the fines.
and most luxuriant grain and is chiefly
found, in such fields as had been fallow
land, and very seldom in the corn ground.
On some farms, the richest spots appear
to be marked out for destruction while
the rest has sustained little or no injury.
A variety of methods have been at
tempted to check the mischief done by it.
Some farmers have had ropes drawn o.
yer the grain to shake them Of. Others,
after shaking them off in this way, let
their swine into the field, which, il 10
said, devour them greedily and will not

SPAIN IND POR TUGAL.

A London paper of the 21sr April, re.
eeived by a recent arrival At Boston, con.
tains the following intelligence - ~
The letters brought BY the Lisbon
mail were delivered this morning. A
general apprehension appears to prevail
in Portugal that some attempt against the
independence Of that country win be
made by Spain. The Emperor Of the
French, it was reported, had determin.
ed to annex part Of the Spanish territory
to his dominiohs, for the loss of which
Spain is to be/indemni6ed by the acqpi-
sition Of a considerable part, if not the
whole Of Portugal. The Spanish pro.
vinces which Buonaparte l. DESTROYS
of obtaining, are those of Biscay and
Gallicia, within which are comprised
the ports of Bilboa, St. Sebastian, Fer.
rol, Corupna, and Vigo. When the
packs i left Lisbon, Spanish troops were
expected there, and II was reported that
all these ports were shut against neu.
trails. The Portuguese Government was
to be transferred to the Brazils.
/ That Buonaparte should be anxious to
possess the whole of the territories which
skirt on the Bay Of Biseay is natural e.
nough, and, fatal as such an arrange
ment may prove to Spain, we fear there
is neither energy nor disposition in her
government to resist it. We are sure,
