There is no truth in the report of an arri-
vain the Delaware, from Bordeaux, as stat
cd in the Aurora of this morning. A gen
deman passenger in the Active, from St.
~Bartholomews, says, hat he was captured
onhis passage from Bordeaux, which port
he left about the 1st May, at which time
there was great rejoicing on account of the
news of France and Austria having conclud-
ed strict alliance, the latter power giving
Two Of her principal ports as a security for
the faithful performance of the compact.
This report, (which we are far from believ-
my probably gave rise to the paragraph in
the Aurora.

day last, was struck by lightning. The

FOR REIGN.
VIA NEW-YORK.)
LIVERPOOL, Abril

E izIV 4fpfV los
A considerable degree Of agitation pre-
vailed in this town Yesterday, IN conss-
quence of a report that was currently cir
culated, that an express had reached Liver
pool the preceding night, with accounts that
the act for a partial repeal OF the embargo
had been passed by the American legisla-
ture. By some persons, however, it was
confidently affirmed, that the intelligence in
question was of a contrary nature. The
umo had some temporary effect OF the
price Of American produce, but we could
not trace it to any authentic source.
A variety Of accounts have been received
from Spain during the present week, but
none perhaps which can be implicitly de-
pended On. The news which has arrived is
very various in its complexion, some Of the
details being highly encouraging, and others
very unfavorable to the patriotic cause but
unhappily that part Of the intelligence which
has the greatest appearance OF AUTHENTICITY
is the most disastrous. The Spanish army
in Catalonia, it appears, has been exposed,
since the fall Of Saragossa, to the whole OF
that part Of the encmy's force which had
been released from the arduous duties OF
that protracted siege. This force having
been strongly reinforced, has attacked the
patriotic army and completely routed 1T;
the CONSEQUENCES Of which is, that the french
will obtain undisturbed possession OF the
fertile province Of Valencia, where their
various and pressing wants mayanpiy be
supplied.
TO cou~nterbaIance this misfortune, we are
informed that the Gallicians are again rous-
ed from their torDor, and are acting with
such energy, that the enemy can hardly
maintain his footing in that province. Prom
other parts Of the north the cou are not
less favorable, Dispatches have been received
| by our government, That the port Of Vigo
has been taken By the united English and
Spaniards, with 1900 prisoners, and alarge
| quantity Of stores. In the south, no des-
| pondency appears either in the people or the
! government. The Seville Gazette contains
| some spirited observations on the conduct OF
the French, and the present state OF the
| campaign and a calculation is made that
{ not less than 1863, 900 Of the enemy's troops
have fallen victims to the sword, disease
1t would seem, ne~versheless, that the
forces of the enemy, reduced as they IN
doubtedly must be, are, however, not com
pletelv occupied by the conquest Of Spain.
FOR they have been able to detach a large
force against Portugal. A considerable
French army has already entered that coun
Try, and is approaching towards the capital,
so that unless the British army, which is
now very strong, should Judge it expedient
to quit the country, a severe contest may be
expected. We are afraid that sir A. Wei
lesley, with his powerful reinforcement, viii
arrive too late.

COMMUNICATION
MR. ~SNowDEN,
IF YOU think the following worthy OF
a,place in your paper, by inserting it you
viii oblige
Having lately seen In the public papers.
an account of the Arlington strengthening,
/ was very much pleased with the improve
ments which had been made in the breed
ing of sheep, by those gentlemen who con.
tended for the prizes. But | was equally
sorry, that this excellent institution is so tar
distant from the valley between the Blue
Ridge and Allegany~ mountains, that gentle
men in that quarter canno become compe-
fitors in this Iaudable exertion to ameliorate
the breed of sheep. That country seems
better adapted to the rearing OF sheep than
the northern neck, as will appear by the
following facts.
The heaviest fleece that was exhibited at
Arlington strengthening, and which gained
che prize, if / recollect, (for | have not the
paper before me- weighed slb. Abraham
Devonporte, Esq. who lives on the west side
of the Blue Ridge, near Charlestown in et-
ferson county, and who has not taken any
extra pains with his sheep, but treated them
as is common with farmers in that settle
ment, sheared his sheep OF the 25th April
last, among which were Aeeces OF the toll
lowing weights.
One weather, i year old, 6 3-4lbs.
One do. do. Z 5-4lbs.
One do. do. 10 1-4lbs.
sOne ram, 2 yearsold, s 3-4lbs.
One lamb, j year old, 8 1-2lbs.
One eve lamb, s Labs.
One weather, Z 1 2lbs.
One w lamb having a
lamb, Slbs.
Another flock IN the same neighborhood,
containing about8o sheep,which were shorn
in the course of the same week, produced
on an average 4 1-2 los. of wool. ! have not
been able to learn the weight Of any OF the
aforementioned sheep, and therefore can
not be as explicit as [ con- hs.l -
uuuIrIonaI SATISFACTION, 4 VIII state ule
weight of an eve which was killed by a dog
In February last, and in lamb with twins.
The carcase after the head and neck which
had been very much mangled by the dog,
were cut Off weighed 116lbs. Now
think from these statements We must allow
one or more of the following conclusions,
either that the climate on that sideth Blue
Ridge is more c~ongenial to the nature OF
sheep than it is on this or that the land at
fords better grazing that they have a bet
ter breed of sheep, or that the farmers bet
ter understand the art of raising them than
we do in the northern neck. These conclu-
sions are given to invite an investigation OF
the subject, which is well worthy the atten-
ton of any gentleman of leisure.
n. b. 1t is generally considered by farm
ers, that short feed is best for sheep. Query,
is that the fact?
