From the Nc7c- London GaSette,
Fall Ploughing.

Ihave long been satisfied that Fall
Ploughing has heen too much neglect
ed /; that il farmers would more gen.
orally adopt the practice, they would
find it economical and profitable.
We have generally in our climate a
great proportion of open weather IN
the Fall---when there is little frost in
the ground, not sufficient to obstrur'
the Ploughing, and when the cold Is
not too severe for labor in the iield--,
continuing frequently till srhristmas
At this season Oxen and Horses are
not only in heart but strenstl,--Faf'
mers have leisure, and labor is plenty
The usual and ordinary business oil
the Fall, already has or ought to have
been done-StOck now require but
little attention, and the season tol
th.cshing grain, dressing flax, an,
drawing wood. has not commenced
Now if this surplus Of strength ant
labor could be applied TO any valua
BILE purpose, they ought to be. Ina
it might, a very few obvious consider
ations must convince every man.
In general our farmers are late am
behind hand in the spring. When thu
season opens, labor becomes in De
n.and, and of course is dear--proven
der i;ails--oxen and horses are veal
and feeble, and ground. especially tina
thst which is new and swarded, is in
sufficiently and not seasonably plough
ed-sowing and planting are oil cours
deferred until aitor there is not
sufliciency Of summer to bring crop
to maturity. New or swars!ed liant

Important from France.

Il is stated in the late accounts from
France, that when the resignation OF
the Due dc Eeltrr was male knows
to the Duke Of Wellington, he pro.
tested against the measure, Il threat
ened that, if accepted, il would b.
considered as measure Of hostility tn
England. The French ministry re-
|p.icd, that as Frenrhmcn. unetcrred
by mcnaces. they would pupsue such
measures rs the interests of France
dictated, and that the resignation Of
the Due dc Feltre would be rec q I'd
the next morning, and that Gouvipn
st. Cyr would be appointed in his
place.
The ministry have also recommend
ed to the King the adoption of the
FLA G, as the national ro-
lors---a complete act OF amnesty to be
passed, and the emigrants to be per-
mitted to return. The old, veterans
are also to be taken into the service
in the room of the young men who
have been placed in their stations.
These are important indications OF
the state Of public opinion in Fra;
and they are in entire accordance
viti all the recent and authentic ad
Vices Which have reached us iran
that country. We hope to he able {,

particulars of these interesting occur,
