Ten communes, in the ACCOMPLISHMENT
of Montargis, were desolated inthe night
of tho 9TH inst. by a tremendous hail
storm s@ccompaniedby thunder and light
ming. Every thing was destroyed for
the space of 90 leagues; the stoutestmen
were struck with the greatest terror;
within the memory of man, it is said,
there has not been so entire destruction.
Sixty hours after the dreadful catastro-
phe, hail stones were found of the size
of an ordinary egg. The damage is es-
timated at 100000 francs, upwards of
100000 )-There have been dreadful
storms also in several other quarters

his warrant, aid deliver il to the officer,
unless he shou1dbe restained by the in
junction. On Tuesday afternoon, the a.
gent of the bank started to Columbus to
stay the proceedings of the Auditor; but
unfortunately for the bank and the whole
community, the counsel had forgotten to
have writ of injunction issued to stay
the proceedings. The papers served on
the Auditor were copy of the petition,
and subpoena to appear before the cir
cult court of the United States, on the
first Monday of January next, at Chilli
cothe. Previous to the service of these
papers, the Auditor had charged the tax
and made out his warrant. On the SER
vice of these papers, he enclosed them,
together with the warrant, to the Secre-
tary of state then here, requesting him
to obtain the written opinions of four or
FIVE lawyers ON the subject, whether the
papers amounted to notice of an in
junction., or operated as an injunction.
If they did, to re-enclose to him the war;
rant and papers, as he would not act in
contradiction of that authority but if, in
the opinion of these lawyers, it did not
amount to an injunction, then to deliver
the warrant to the proper agent, and Or
der him to proceed. On consultation
and mature deliberation, the lawyers u
unanimously gave their opinion, that the
papers amounted to nothing like writ
of injunction, and that he could not be in
contempt for acting in contradiction of
them. The warrant was then delivered
TO the officer, with Instructions to enter
the banking house, demand the payment
of the tax, show his warrant, and on re-
fusal to pay, to enter the vault and levy
On specie and notes to the amount of the
tax to use no violence himself; and if
opposed by force, to proceed until ex-
PEELED from the banking house, and then
to complain before proper authority of
the resistance offered The officer en-
tered, made the demand, showed his war;
rant, secured the entrance to the vault,
and, on refusal to pay, entered the vault
himself and levied the amount of the tax
with small overplus, to correct any
mistake which might have been made in
counting; which overplus he has offered
to refund, but he has been refused adj
mittance in the clearinghouse. He used
no force or violence, but conducted him
self in an orderly, but determined man
ner. The money has since been con-
veyed to Columbus, and deposited in the

DOMESTIC.


CHILLiCOTHE, SEPT. ~.
BY virtue Of warrant issued by the
Auditor of state, agrceably to the provi-
sions of an act passed by the legislature
ofthe state Of Ohio, at their last session,
entitled, can act to levy and collect a
tax from all banks and individuals, and
companies and associations of individu-
ais, that may transact banking business
within this state, without being author
lied to do SO by the laws thereof" Mr..
John l.. Harper, Ito whom the warrant
was directed accompanied by Mr.. Tho
mas Orr and Mr.. James M'ColIister,
entered the Branch of the United States
BANK at This place, on Friday last, and
levied on the specie and bank paper in
tkat institution, to the amount of one
hundred thousand dollars, which is the
tax assessed on the Offices of discount
and deposite of the Bank of the United
States, located in this state.
As this transaction may receive from
rumor coloring, and from prejudice,
Misrepresentation brief statement of
the facts may be useful in allaying any
improper feelings which may have been
excited. The Auditor of state, feeling
himself bound by the law to execute the
duty imposed on him, made known his
determination to, one or two individuals.
Subsequent to this, he received cita-
ton to appear before the Circuit Court,
on Tuesday the l4th instant, as at that
time, motion would be made by the
Bank of the United States to enioin his
proceedings under the law of the state.
This citation was enclosed by him to a
gentleman of the bar, with a request to
him to appear for the state if he should
deem it correct. On Tuesday, the petit
ton Of the Bank of the United States
was heard by the counsel or solicitors
for that Institution: the state refused to
appear, denying the jurisdiction. The
court, after short deliberation, allowed
the injunction, on bonds with security
to the amount Of 100000, being given
by the bank. This was entered into
In the mean time, or rather previously
to the application in court for an iniunc-
ton, the Auditor had been instructed by
his counsel to charge the tax, and issue

MEETING OF REFORMERS.
There is to be meeting of the Radi-
cal Reformers at Manchester, OH Mon
day next. Hunt is to preside and major
Cartwright, and sir Charles Wolseley,
and other worthless, are to be present.
They intend to elect two Representatives
to Parliament, for Manchester and Sal
ford. The government is in sufficient
strength to preserve the peace, and to
chastise the dist,rbers of it. There has
been meeting at Huddersfeh, but after
passing the usual resolutions in favor Of
Annual Parliament, Universal Suffrage,
&c. they dispersed peaceably.
Another account says, the Manchester
meeting had been postponed.
On the 5oth July the British Prince
Regent issued proclamation for the
of "the wicked, seditious,
and reasonable PRACTICES" of the meet
ings Of the Reformers, and calls upon all
the magistrates and people to exert
themselves to bring the authors to con-
dign punishment.
Several of the Rcformers had been
arrested, and some indicted and bailed.
In some parts of England persons are
secretly drilled in the use of the pike.
The London papers contain numerous
details of the meetings of the Radical
Reformcrs, but there appears to be very
little system OF spirit in the meetings /;
and the assemblages, after passing few
resolutions, hearing few speeches from
female and male orators, giving few
rounds of huzzas, retire very peaceably
to their homes and after furnishing a
column for the papers, are heard of no
more.

South Sea Isiands.-A letter from the
Rev. w. P. Cook, missionary, dated
Wilk's Harbor, Otaheite, says,
"The whole of this groupe Of islands
is now professedly Christian; and if we
are to judge of their conduct by that of
nominal christians in general, they have
vastly the advantage. Theft is unknown
among them. Family prayer is set up
in every house. The missionaries is in

meeting. A Missionary Society has
been established, of which the King is
president. Three thousand copies of

PITTSBURGH, SEPT. 7


The neighboring country is alarming
ly unhealthy; the dysentery in all its
varieties is prevailing. with unexampled
mortality; in many families every indi-
vidual is confined. We confidently be-
lieye that in given number of people
this dreadful disease has been as fatal
this year as ever the yellow fever was in
Philadelphia. In certain districts death
has paid visit to almost every family.
Pittsburgh has not been uncommonly
unhealthy; the same disease has prevail
ed here, but by no means to the same
comparative extent, nor with the same
malignity. This factconGrms aposition,
which is the fruit Of many years of obser-
Walton, viz. that Pittsburgh is always
more healthy than the country. We have
generally imputed this to the quantity of
coal burnt in our city, which keeps our
atmosphere constantly impregnated with
sulphur, Are We right:

Our Northern Boundary.-A Platts-
burgh paper of August 81, states that the
scientific agent appointed by our govern
mcnt to ascertain the boundary line be-
tween the United States and Lower Cam
ada, concurring with the observations
made last year, expresses the opinion
that the military works at Rouse's Point
are north of the 45th degree of latitude.
The Boston Centinel Of Sept. |, on the
same subject, remarks, on the authority
of letters from Vermont, that the COM
missioners on the northern boundary line
have finished their surveys and observa-
tons; and that it was generally under
stood, though not officially promulgated,
that the boundary line between the Uni
ted States and Lower Canada, has fallen
mile and a half to the southwark of
Rouse's Point.

This stupendous work advances with
rapidity that even disappoints its most
sanguine advocates, the middle section
will be finished this season. This, in
connection with the Mohawk, will open
communication into the interior of our

growth Of our internal commerce.
Strangers from all parts of the union,

USEFUL INVENTION.

We have been gratifed with sight
of a new Machine for making Brick, re-
Gently invented by Messrs. J. c. STUBS
and JAS. Bonner, of this town, which,
for simplicity Of construction, and great
public usefulness, bids fair, in our opin-
ion, to surpass any invention hitherto
applied to the same purpose, in this or
any other country. This machine re-
ceives the clay, in its natural state, in a
hopper somewhat similar to those used
in grist-mills, and Immediately returns
the brick, completely made, and ready
for burning. So quick is the operation,
that thirty good and handsome bricks
were manufactured in our presence, in
the space Of one inmate, the machine
being set in motion by the labor of one
man alone and we entertain no doubt
of the practicabiity of making from 40
to $4,000 good bricks in one day, when
ever it goes into full operation. The
bricks, for smoothness and beauty, are
preferable to those manufactured in the
common way, as we'll as much harder
and heavier. The machine is SO con-
structed as to accommodate itself to all
kinds of clay, loan, or even sand and
we have seen some bricks, made of this
last material, which were nearly as hard
as those made in the usual manner
We hope soon to see this machine in full
operation in this town, reducing the price

On the 9th ult. mob at Philade!-

Vauxhall. The cause is stated to have
arisen from an advertisement posted up
relative to the ascent of balloon from
the garden at that place, which frora
some difficulty could not be accomplish

had clambered up on the fence Of the
garden, and being ordered down, he re-
