SALEM. June Il.

Mr. Peter Lander, of this town, who came
passenger in the schr. Hannah. which sail
ed from Gibraltar tie 10Th of May, and ar
rived 1T Marblehead on Sunday lasS, has IA
vored Us with the following minute, which
he received from Capt. Joseph Young. of
,he snip Native, which had arrived at Gil
brditar from Malaga:
"'The Grand Ddke Of Berg vas to be ap-
pointed Regent Of Spa'n, ~ the ABSENCE Of
the Royal Family at Bayonne, when grand
council vas 10 be held on the subject Of the
confederation Of the Rhine. SIX or seven
hundred Frcnchmen had been Killed on the
suburbs Of Madrid. Abous 100 600 Spani..
ards under arms in Valencia-the same in
Catalonia--armc at their own expense (;
and there was q spirit of universal revolt
from the French domination. Every sub
Jet OF Spain appears resolutely determined
20 oppose the French with their lives and
fortunes"
IT this account is founded in truth, we
shall shortly hear more of it. It certainly
IS no: very unlikely event, that people
should revolt against their couquerers and
oppressors and that the Spaniards can
hardly regard the French in any other
light.

M. Allairc, a French chymist, has pub
lished a new method of securing wool,
which consists in dipping it repeatedly intoa

an animal soap with the grease. The wool
is thus speedily and economically secured,
and without altering its quality.
The invention which we lately men
toned for preventing carriages upsetting,
by inequalities in the. road, consists of the
axle being formed with hinges or joints
which allow the wheels to move up Or down
without eifscting the equilibrium of the bo-
dy, which is further secured by an upright
bolt from the carriage, that leaves room for
motion Of the body up and down, and
