| dence and energy have been requisite to
prevent an explosion.
The unrestrained license Of the press
which Partisan Juries have hitherto re-
fused to curb, is attacked by the orators
of government, as the principal cause Of
the alarming state Of things.
The bill restraining the liberty Of the
press will pass by more considerable
| majority than the one adopted for the re-
striction Of individual liberty. The Elec-
ton Law, which will be afterwards pro-
posed. is the great object Of Ministerial
solicitude.
i A great moral Revolution among the
Inhabitants OF the earth, appears to be
Fastening on. We had occasion lately to
mention that wonderful event, the late
Revolution in Spain, achieved almost
without bloodshed--G nation born IN
day We have now TO mention another
most extraordinary transaction two des-
potic sovereigns emaucipating their slaves,
and prociaiming publicly, by herald,
6 An men are born free" Is not this the
work of HIM, who hoideth the hearts OF
all men 10 his hands: who by wise
Providence, orders all things Alright, and
who is Fastening the time when mars shall
cease ?-Freeman's Journal.
Translated for the Boston Daily Advertiser.
. Frankfort, (Oder,) Feb. 24.-The
Grand Duke of MeckIenbarg, and the
Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, have pro-
claimed the suppression Of personal servi-
tude. The 9th of Jan. the same benefit
was granted to the peasants of the island
of Oescel. The ceremony Of emancipa-
ton was preceded by divine service all
the constituted authorities were Joined to
the deputies of the peasants.-The Mar
shall Of the province delivered dis
course 10 which we remarked the follow
ing passage, "All men are born free, the
laws alone can restrain the use of their
liberty, arbitrary power must disappear
and in future ii will be no merit not to
have been tyrant.
This is the wish Of Alexander, Tthe
Grand Duke our well beloved sove-
reign, this is demanded by the spirit Of
the age, that all powerful voice, which
always makes itself heard. The day has
arrived when servitude is TO be forever
abolished and when the first rights of hui
manity are to be rendered to the men
whose labor and sweat procure for lis
the first necessaries Of life."
MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF TURPEN.
TINE.
We, the physicians, surgeons and a.
pothecaries of Dublin, whose names are
here undersigned, do hereby certify and
declare,
That we consider the discovery Of the
medical properties Of the oil Of turpentine
as one of the greatest that has ever been
made in physic.
That it appears from medical history,
that chiId-bed fever has hitherto desolated
society 10 every part Of the globe where it
has appeared; and the instances of recov-
cry from the dreadful malady are SO few
as justly TO entitle it to the appellation of
all incurable disease.
That it falls within the knowledge Of
such as are engaged 10 the practice Of
midwifery, that the oil of turpenline is an
infallibIe specific in this complaint; and
although other remedies may with adyan-
tage be employed in conjunction, yet that
to the specific influence of turpentine we
ascribe the removal of the disease Of child
bed fever in every case.
That mankind is indebted for this great
discovery to the zeal, ability and industry
of DIR. John Brennan. That we believe his
humane disclosure of this very important
secret has been the means of saving null
iitude Of lives, and that il will even prove
to be one Of the most valuable legacies
that ever was bequealhed to posterity by
the genius Of an Individual
That we hold this discovery to be great
er than that Of DR.. Jenner, inasmuch as
the small pox had an antidote, and the
child-bed fever had not: and
That for this very great discovery, we
deem DIR. Brennan deserving of the graft
tude OF the whole human race, and emf
nently to any reward which the bounty Of
government can bestow

and Apothecaries Of Dublin.
