Mr.. SNowDEN,
Although it is not generally known, dir
tn bread is remarkably wholesome. 1t is
an antidote against the yellow fever, and
all diseases incidental to hot climates. -
When one is accustomed to it, it has a
pleasing effect on. a table which it sets of to
great advantage.
There are some Bakers in the United
States, who have not thar regard tor the
health of their fellow. citizens they ought
to have, by sweeping their ovens too clca",
which will be observed by examining the
bottoms of their loaves.--It is hoped they
will correct the procedure in future.

The supreme junta have decreed that
there shall be annual religious service to in

to perpetuate the remembrance Of the ty-

The Spanish papers contain many ac-
counts of small military affairs in which the
patriots were successful.
The Spanish admiral Masserado, who
joined the French against king Ferdinand,
and who was sent by Joseph Bonaparte to
command the Spanish squadron which the
French took at Ferrol, is said to have been
caught by the patriots at Lugo.

either surrender or make Immediately the
best of their way to Madrid and even IN
that case, it is a matter of doubt whether
one of them will return to France, as the
army of marshal Soult has been nearly de,

SC REVOLUTIONARY SYSTEM OF AUSTRIA. j.

In the Noniteur there is tone of undi-
n,inished virulence against Austria, and Bo-
naparte has published in it a long article, en-
titled, Materials for history of the Revo-
lutionary System of Austria during the year
.18O9.--It is attributed to Alderman, IN or
der no doubt, to give more weight to the &C,
cusations urged against the former Chief OF
the German Empire, and to render that
prince more alive to the insults heaPed up
on him.--But this subterfuge does not con-
ceal the hand from whence they have pro-
ceeded, nor will the pew point OF view under
which Bonaparte depicts the conduct OF
Austria deceive any hody.--lt is easy to
discover in tina, article how much ne breads
the effects of a system by which the people
were endeavored to be reused against those
hordes whom terror and seduction had as
sembled under his banners /; by which spl-
rited proclamations were opposed 10 his IN
cendiary addresses, and statements full OF
strong and striking truths were put IN con-
trast with his impudent and lying bulletins.
Undoubtedly il was not to be expected that
the heir of the French Revolution, the child
and champion of Jacobinisni, who was con-
demned to obscurity during the period that
succeeded the Reign of Terror, because he
had served i. with all the. phrenzy of fanati-
cism and ferocity who has eysry where

HYMN TO THE EVENING STAR.
From the Greek Of Callistratus.


MILD Star of eve, whose tranquil beams
Are grateful to the queen Of love,
Fair planet, whose cffulgence beams, 6
More bright than all the host above,
And only to the moons clear light,
Yields the first honors of the night.
All hail thou soft, thou holy star!
Thou glory of the midnight sky
And when my steps are wandering far,
Leading the shepherd minstrelsy,
Then if the moon deny her ray,
Oh! guide me, Hesper, ON my way.
No savage robber of the dark,
No foul assassin claims thy aid,
To guide his dagger to It's mark,
Or light him on his plundering trade.
My gentle GRAND is to prove
The transports of requited love.
