tor is entitled to our gratitude equally
with the ingenious mechanic who teaches
how TO stem the rapid currents OF our
mighty rivers.
"Permit me to make few remarks
on the culture of the 6arilio. In my
travels in the south of Europe, l took
notice of the cultivation of that valuable
plant barilla, viz SatSoia SatiUa, Linn.
which he describes, SaiSoka difu8a, her
6acea, .fotiiS, tereti6uS, giu6ris, .fori6u8
ongtomeratis, is cultivated in the vici-
nifty of Alicant, in Spain, and was, in the
beginning of the French revolution, cul-
tivated, with great success and profit,
about Aries, and almost from Perpignan
to Marselles. In Spain they sow it in
November; in France sometimes as late
as April. The seeds must be sowed
thickly, as not one half of them are ripe,
and the practice is not to wait for their
maturity before burning the plant. When
sowed in land not sailed, wiz on the
sea shore or salt marshes) the plant de-
generates, and the third crop yields al
most nothing but potash. In this coun-
try it will grow well---the climate is con-
genial to the plant; but, if | mistake not,
there can be no great crops, except on
the sea shore and about the Salines,
which are very numerous in the vale Of
Mississippi. Between this place and
Natchitoches there is about four or five
hundred acres Of land in one body, con-
tanning large quantity of muriate de
soude, and there it will flourish. AL
though we now extract the soude from
the mnriate dc aoude, Common salt
by the aid ofsnlphuric acid, yet the value
of the Soude from barilla will not be
much diminished; for, in some particu-
lar dyes, the soude of common salt will
not answer the intention. If the plant
succeeds, l will send seed to friends who
live in the neighborhood of Salines. !
have no doubt tit is worth cultivating on the
sea shores Of the United States from lat.
So TO the southermost cape of Florida.
That will be the country for darilla.

The Minerva Smith, arrived last even
ing, in 81 days from Liverpool. Capt.
Bennett has favored the editors of the
Mercantile Advertiser with Liverpool
papers to the 29th, and London papers
to the evening Of the 9th July.
1t appears that complete revolution
has been effected in the kingdom of Ma
pies, without bloodshed, and that con-
stitutional government, similar to that of
Spain was Immediately to be adopted.-
On the 9th Of July the king issued the
following decree:
" The general wish of the Kingdom of
the Two Sicilies for constitutional gov
eminent having manifested itself, we con-
sent to this, Of our full and entire will,
and promise to publish the basis in the
space OF eight days.
"Till the publication Of the constitu-
ton, the existing laws shall continue to
be in vigor.
Having thus satisfied the public
wish, we oder the troops to return to
their corps, and every individual to his
ordinary occupation.

On the same day, the king abdicated
the throne to his son Francis, who the
next day issued the following proclama-
ton.
:" By virtue of the act dated yesterday,
by which his majesty, our august father,
has transmitted to us, with the unlimited
clause ofthe alter ego, the exercise of al Il
rights, prerogatives, pre-eminence and
faculties, in the same manner as they
can be exercised by his majesty.
SIN consequence OF the decision of
his majesty to give constitution to the
state:
Wishing to manifest our sentiments
to all his subjects, and to second at the
same time, their unanimous wish:
I'VE have resolved todecree, and do
decree as follows:
81. The constitution of the kingdom
OF the Two Sicilies shall be the same
that was adopted for the kingdom of
Spain in eighteen hundred and twelve,
sanctioned by his Catholic Majesty in
March 1920, saving the notifications
which the national representation, con-
stitutionally conyoked, shall consider it
suitable to propose, in order to adapt it
to the particular circumstances of the
states Of his majesty:
SO. We reserve to ourselves to adopt
and make known all the arrangements
which may be necessary to facilitate and
accelerate the execution of the present
decree. 80 "
IS. All our ministers secretaries of
state, are charged with the execution of
the present decree. ...

We have been pestered for week
past with a swarm of Indians, who.
though quite civil and noffensive, have
been whooping and dancing, and cutting
a thousand monkey capers, about our
streets. These are part of tribe of De-
lawares, from some ofthe branches ofthe
Wabash in Indiana, who are passing
down the Ohio in canoes, on their way
to the Arkansas river, Oh the banks of
which, or one of its branches, they are
about to settle. The detachment which
is here consists principally of old men.
women, and children; the warriors hav-
ing passed across the country. We OBJ
serve among the squaws, several white
and negro females, who were captured
while young, and have now the felicity
of being united to the captors in the con-
jugal tie. The ladies are not remarka-
bly, inviting in their appearance, or fas-
cHating In their manners. i6.

1t is with no small degree of satisfac-
ton that we are able to say, that this
town has entirely escaped the sickness,
which prevails in many other places
west of the Ohio. The DISTRESSING stu
alton OF Carmi we have already noticed.
Report says that St. Louis and Vincenncs
are both suffering severely under the in
Huence of the bilious complaints, and
there are other detached spots through.
out the country, which are equally un-
fortunate. AS the sickness is not gene
raj, we are inclined to believe that it IS
not attributable to the climate, but to To-
cal causes, which have been brought into
operation by the remarkable dryness OF
the season. We have had scarcely anv
rain throughout the Summer; the corn
crops are much injured, the best springs
of water have failed, and streams, which,
have hitherto been tolerably full, are
nearly exhausted. In addition to this,
the weather has been remarkably sultry
the heat has been greater, and has con-
tinued with less intermission, than is
usual. Even lately, in the month Of
September, the thermometer has been
at 90. In consequence of these causes,
the channels ofmany water courses have
been drained, and their unwholesome de-
posts OF vegetable matter exposed to a
scorchlng sun and the inhabitants have
been obliged to drink the disagreeable
water, oozing through a parched soil,
from the nearly exhausted fountains.
In this town we have scarcely any sick
ness al all; the water remains good and
the neighborhood affords no unhealthy
exhalations. We are happy to learn also,
from the English Prairie, that our adopt
ed countrymen in that quarter, enjoy
excellent health. Gazette.
