WAsH1NcroM Cry, Sept. $.

The following is an extract of a letter from
gentleman at Paris to gentleman in an
adjoining county Of Virginia, dated June IS:
"About two months since his majesty adj
journed the consideration of the case of the
Hero, when laid before him, for so days, it
being then doubted here whetherthe u. States
would renew the non-intercourse act against
England. This do believe was the cause Of
the postponement; for ! have not doubt
that If such renewal had not taken place, all
the American property arrived since Nov.
under the faith of the Duke of Cadore's let
ter to Gen Armstrong, would have been con-
fscated by the Emperor; such as had arriv-
ed prior to that date and remained undecid-
ed on, would have of course shared the same
fate"
a postscript to the same letter, dated June
80, says, Z" TIE E,UnhcrOr has relcased tie
Hcro's cargo"

Yesterday arrived at this port the ship
Manlius, Captain WATSON, in 90 days from
Cadiz.
Captain WATSON sailed from Cadiz on the
Cd of August, and informs us, that there was
nothing new at that time from the armies
General Blake had arrived at Cadiz with his
army in very destitute condition that the
French continued occasionally to throw shells
>iIN the city, but without doing anyapaterial
A2NAge; and that twelve Greek vessels en-
the harbor two or three days before the
manfus sailed, laden with grain.
Capt. w. further states, that Packet had
just arrived there in twelve days from Eng
land, bringing London papers to about the
18th or 10th July, which did not contain Ell
ther Capt. Bingham's letter, or the result of
the Court of Enquiry.
Mr.. 5. Smith, supercargo of the Manlius,
informs, that the American vessels captured
off Cadiz by his Majesty's ship Leopard, af-
ter being detained four or five days, had been
released and arrived at Cadiz-that British
packet had arrived from England, and brot'
London papers as late as the 18th of July,
which stated that the Americans we're pre-
pairing to leave that country from an appre-
hension of war with this. The American
Consul had sent his dispatches and the mer-
chants their letters on board the ship Com
rnodore Rodgers, Storey, that sailed the day

time there had been no fighting the armies

Observing by the report of deaths for the
last few weeks, that the Cholera N7or6us has
proved fatal to number of children, it is
earnestly recommended to parents and 9TH
ers (and will am sure, be approved of by
Physicians, most Of whom know its efficacy)
to use, in addition to other means, the fol-
lowing simple remedy:
Toast or brown in vessel, as you would
coffee, four table spoons full Of oat meal
pougNn it pint of boiling water, add a lit
tie AgRr and lemon juice to make it agree
TfHbechild is not too young, let it drink of

bcliettd that this toasted oat meal tea is
scarcely ever elected from the stomach, on
which it lies light, and to which it proves ex-
ceedingly grateful For the information of
the poorer class of citizens, it is requisite to
mention that oat-mca, can be procured at a
ny Of the druggists shops. 1t isno recon-
mendcd by one who recently experienced its
sovereign efficacy.
