Westburn-place, July Is, 1902.
July 17.-Mr. Curwen has, by some late
agricultural experiments, thrown considera-
o'e light on the theory of vegetables. The
opening of the land by the plough, he has
discovered, is attended with another benefit
(hitherto unnoticed), than that of merely
allowing the extension of the roots in the
SOIL thus loosened; it promotes, in drs sea-
sons. the evaporation of much moisture from
the earth, and thereby creates for the plants
pabulum, which absorbed bv their leaves
renders them in q high degree luxuriant &
productive. The mode of depositing manure
Is made subservicnt to this discovery, by
equally good crops being produced with a
less quantity Of it.

Extract Of letter from Liperhool, dated
dug. 9th, 1909.
The fate of Austria seems decided. On
the 9TH ult a decisive victory was gained by
the French; c., the 18th. an Armistice was
concluded indeed it appears by recent &C
! Counts from the Continent that treaty of
Peace had actually been signed Be this as
| IL may, no further resistance on the part of
Austria appears probable {; therefore the in
huence OF France in the North of Europe will
remain undiminished indeed in the expec
tation thereof the value of the exports of the
Baltic is already materially enhanced The
ports OF Sweden still remain open to the Bri
tlsh, but the general expectation is that thew
VIII be shut towards the close of the present
year. notwithstanding the reverses that the
AustrlanS have met with, the British expe
dltion has sailed for the purpose of accom-
plishing what was originally intended, viz :
the making OF descent upon the opposite
coast and the destruction ofthe vessels of war
as well In ordinary as upon the stocks no
official intelligence has been received of the
operations of this armament, but private ac
counts announce it's arrival off the Dutch
coast, and indeed the surrender of Flushing.
and the whole OF the Island of Walcheren.
Nothing has yet transpired from which the
Interior object of this expedition can be as
certalned, but great variety of conjectures
are hazarded upon the subject. The polti
cal situation of America with respect to thi,
country is again considered prccarious. from
the circumstance Gifts being understood that

to that effect reaching America, sensations
lnmical to the preservation of good under

impression has become more general since
the appearance of the CORE spondence be-
tween Mr. Smith and Mr.. Erskine, in the
month OF June ; for the ratification of the
arrangements made by the latter, appear
theretrom to be fully relied upon therefore
the disappointment produced by the know

this state of uncertainty, and as it is conceiv.

occur to produce an inte rupton in the com.
mercial communication between the two
countries. American produce is sought af-
