FRENCH IHPRESSMENTS.

The impressment of the crews of the Cath
arne of Boston, and Atlantic of New ork,
has as usual excited no sympathy in the de-
mocratic Editors. We have not noticed sim
gle paragraph about it, so entirely is their
feeling absorbed by the wrongs of G.. Britain.
To make up for this unseemly omission, we
take leave again to repeat the facts from our
paper of the 4th inst.
We wish not to make comparisons, but
must not avoid stating facts The dungeons,
the fleets and the privateers of France, con
tain more American seamen than the British
navy and heart-rending, as it is, we believe,
that no endeavor has or will be made to re-
cover them from the former In the dun
geons they will be left to pine and die, and in
the vessels of war, they will be the instru-
ments of burning and sinking the property OF
their countrymen.
Extract from the information, by the
Porhatan arriUed at ~ FORK.
There were number of French priva-
teers in the Baltic. The ship Hercules, after
detention of l2 months in Norway, was
liberated, and sailed for Russia the last of A

French priyateer, and carried to Dantzic-

ANOTHER EMBARGO.

IF we are to believe the following article
from the Aurora, we are soon to have a.
mother embargo.
From the Aur7va of The 2Sth at.
By letter from the seat of government,
we learn, thatitis expected thar procama-
ton laying an embargo on all vessels in the
ports and harbors of the United States,
would be issued by the president of the u
nited States, in consequence of advices re-
ceived by late dispatches from the United
States charge des affares 10 London.
The President is not empowered to lay
an embargo unless authorised by law. And
we know of no law having been passed which
gives him that power.

French colours frequently arrive in distress,
where they not only reft, but ,ecyuit, and

nations view us when they find that priva-

of the effect of Mephi,ic Gas, felt de-

About six years ago, in the town OF Deer.

residence, | was present, in three or four
minutes after young man had been taken
from a well in a state OF insensibility, and
apparently near death. Soon, however,
his system became universally and extreme
ly convulsed. Medical assistance was i'm
mediatrly obtained. No medicine could
be administered. Several attempts were
made to bleed, without effect. A tepid
bath was also tried without effect Friction,
ard various other external applications were
resorted to, but all TO no good purpose.
The commissions continued. In about FIVE
hours the miserable object appeared to be
sinking into death, and just upon the point
of expiring. At this time it occurred to
my mind that if Oxygen could be admins
tered, itmight possibly restore him;-but
having no proper means Of obtaining it, and
having found from some former expert.
ments, that the herb vuIgarly called Bur
rage, contained considerable quantity of
this Gas; and on enquiry being informed,
that plenty of it might be Immediately OBJ
tanned, concluded to make trial of it.
soon broke large handful and placed it at
his nose. la two minutes respiration was
evidently better. In four or five minutes
he spoke, and used some bodily cxertion,
but was mentally derangsd. He now dis
covered an inclination to obtain the rhquvia
OF the burrage. Another handful of the
broken leaves was placed as before. In ten
minutes his reason returned, with consi-
derable degree of strength. lie now called
for more of the herb, and manifested great
satisfaction in breathing through it. APP
plications of it were made tor about an hour,
when he was able to walk. The next day
he was comfortable and called on me and
expressed himself in the following manner:
I" In all my life never smell any thing so
sweet and good, nor that gave me such
pleasure as the borrage did, from the time,
| awaked until got on my feet"
A surprizing effect was produced on this
man by this herb, and it is left with the gen.
tlemen of the faculty to decide whether it
was produced by the Oxygen, or by some
other quality or virtue of this plant.
This publication is made in hopes that
some other unfortunate person may receive
relief by the application Of the same reme-
dy.

Of wealth the fruitful pleasures reap
Say. can the soul in selfthat's wrapt,
The bliss ofpure enjoyment taste
An no when feelings chain is snapt,
How void the heart and drear the waste
Was it for this, poor creeping thing
To pine within giided cage,
That nature gave the pow'r TO wing
The piercing thought 4 read her page
Does she ne'er whisper in thy dream.
The wretch who loves himself alone,
" Can never drink of rapture's stream,
Or conscious warm exis tence own !"
The sweetest joys which health can give
To light pale wants lack-lustre-eye,
And aid the toll worn mind to live
Are joys which thou canst never buy.
Then count thy boards of shining gold,
And toll and scrape to swell the heap,
The heart like ;hine that's winter cold,
No fruits OF wealth can ever reapl
Oh give to me sweet natures right.
The balm oflife, blest liberty:
And the warm throb of soft delight,
That thrills the soul of sympathy
Give me, o, Heaveni the power to heal
The wounded soul of sinking woe -?
Give ne the bosom quick to feel
Affections purest warmest glow.
Give me to share in Julia's sigh;
And rest my head on Julis's breast,
To chase the tear from Julia's eye -
