GRoANING, CRYING, &c.


A Freuch Surgeon has published 6
long dissertation on the beneficial in.
fuence of grooming and crying on the
nervous system. He contends that
grcaning and crying are the two grand
operations by which nature allays an
guish !; and that he has uniformly OBJ
served that those patients who give way
to their natural feelings, more speedily
recover from accidents and operations,
than those who suppose that it is un-
worthy a man to betray such symptoms
of cowardice as either to groan or cry.
He is always pleased by the crying and
violent roaring Of patient during the
time he is undergoing surgical opera,
ton, because he is satisfied that he will
thereby so sooth his nervous system, as
to prevent fever and ensure favorable
termination. From the benefit hys-
terical and other nervous patients de-
rive from crying or grooming, he SUP
poses that "by these processes OF ma
ture," the superintendent nervous pow
err, is exhausted, and that the nervous
system is In consequence rendered calm,
and even the circulation OF the olOOo
greatly diminished. He relates a case
of man, who by means of crying anu
bawling, reduced his pulse from l2O 70
60 in The course of two hours. Da'
some patients often have great satiS,
faction in groaning, and that hySterl,c:It
patients often experience great relie'
from crying, are facts which no person
will deny. As to restless hyPoChOn.
driacal subjects, or those who are h'''
happy but when they are under sow
course of medical Or dietetic treatmGn.
the French surgeon assures them 'nIi
they cannot do better than grSaD a.
night, and cry all day. BY tolio"mS
this rule, and observing an aos'enl'O "e
diet, a person will effectuaiiy eS'sp'
disease and may prolong life to an m u"
credible extent. [Gaz. Of Hea''"'

the army of Gen. Bolivar, including the Irish

is the opinion OF every one here, that the
present campaign will give liberty to the

The greatest harmony prevails among the

GERMAN Y.

A long, but very interesting article, pretty
clearly explaining the state OF the public
mind in Germany, as well as the fears Of its
princes, has appeared in he public prints.
1t is entitled Circular of the Cabinet OF
Berlin" and is signed Bernstet.
When the sovereigns of Germany assem-
bled at the Congress of Vienna, they de-
clared, in their act of federation, that there
should be constitution OF states in the Sc
veral integral governments of the eonfede
racy By this the people OF Germany under
stood free national representation of them
selves, in an assembly or parliament, as a
permanent part OF the government Of each
kingdom. But the sovereigns meant no such
thing And, in the past year their minis
tiers met at Carlsbad. where, in secret diet
an unanimous resolution was adopted TO pre-
vent by force, the popular sentiment from
taking effect: Accordingly
|. The pre- is 10 be restrained by Sc
we're censorship.
2. Political discussions Of free nature',are
to be prevented.
8. Tutors instructing youth in liberal
principles are never, to be employed.
A.. And all combinations against Legitimacy
are to be put down by the bayonet.
Thus the march Of mind is progressing.
Tyranny attempts 10 arrest it but il works
against time and the Improvement of the hu.
man intellect, and must eventually fail. The
circular by Bernstein communicates the re-
solution the sovereigns, on the part OF bis
government, to the ministers at foreign
courts for the information of those courts by
way of explanation of the object of the Sc
cret meeting at Carlsbad. [Vcsh. c. Gaz.

We have been favored with the perusal of
letter dated New Orleans, Jan. 90. stating
that the ship Rebecca, Minor, on her pas
sage from New York, to n. Orleans, got a
ground between the Tortugas and the Flo.
rida shore, about league from the N w.
side of the rocks-that she was three days
aground--that about one half OF her cargo
was thrown uver that two days were taken
up in warping her into deep water; and that
the vessel would have been lost but for the
successful exertions of the passengers. THE

SPANISH HER0ISM.
An authentic anecdote, related by capt.
Kortf, who served in Spain, in re-
giment Of infantry Of the guard Of
Jerome, the Ex-King of Westpha-
liza.
Fatigued and exhausted by forced
marches, the regiment, to which capt
korf belonged, arrived before the mo-
mastery Of Fisueiras in Spain. The
colonel of the regiment, Frenchman,
sent in an officer to demand of the prior
the necessary refreshment for the men,
as we'll rs for the staff, consisting Of a.
bout 90 officers. The prior with some
OF the monks came out 10 meet the ge-
neral, assured him that the inhabitants
of Figueras would provide for the sol
diers, but that he himself would prepare
frugal meal for The staff. The prior's
offer was accepted captain Korff re-
