used in vapor bath for swollen legs,
particularly in the dropsy, in which dis
order the berries, inner bark, and roots
of this plant are used with great effect as
diurctic and purgative. From the
berries rob or thick juice is extracted,
which is given with success in bowel
complaints, and in the dysentery.
The flowers give fine perfume to
vinegar, and to wine the flavor of mus

flowers when dried, and then confined
from the air, acquire an exquisite taste.

the Elder remained untouched, in full
health and vigor; this induced him to
make an experiment which was attended
with perfect success. With boughs of
the Elder tied together he went over his
grounds, whipping and brushing gently
his cabbage plants, turnips, and even
wheat, which drove off all the insects,
who never returned. He then tried the
same operation on his fruit trees with
equal effect. Since this discovery has
beenmade known, some boil the branches
and leaves of this plant in water, and
then sprinkle this detection over young
plants, which is said to preserve them
eifectually from destruction BY insects.
A particular account of this experiment
was communicated many years ago to
the Royal Society, by Christopher Gull
let.

when sprinkled with molasses, and laid
in places infested by cockroaches and
ants, will drive them off.

wolves, bears, and other ferocious ami

LATE FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

BY the arrival, on Saturday evening,
of the brig Hippomcnes from Curacao,
the editor of the National Advocate has
received, from his attentive corrcspon-
dent, regular files of the Curacao
Conraat TO the 5th inst. By the latest
accounts from the Maine, K appears that
Porto Csbello was still in the hands of
the Royalists. Caracas and La Quay
ra were in state of tranquility; and
General Bolivar had proceeded into the
interior.
II is confirmed BY this arrival, that the
attempt of a negotiation, for q renewed
suspension of arms, had completely fail
ed, owing to the Royalists refusing 10
extend it to Santa Fe, and to put step
to the merciless operations Of the
guerillas, who continued to butcher men,
women, and children without distinction.

LATE FROM ENGLAND.

Last evening the ship Orbit, Captain
Macy. arrived from Liverpool, whence
she sailed ON the l8th of July; to which
day the Editors Of the Commercial i'd
rertiser have received their regular files
of papcrs. 81
The British Parliament was prorogued
on the / lth Of July.
The Privy Council have decided
unanimously against the Queens claim
to participate in the honors Of the Coro-
nation.
Great preparations were making in
Liverpool, and other towns, to celebrate
the Kings coronation. A Liyerpoo, pa
per states, that the American and other
foreign gentlemen, in that place, have
been invited to Join the grand procession
with their national colors. "The fine
new ship Panthea, Capt. John Eldridgc,
(late Of the Packet Courier, through the
kind urbanity of her commander and
consignees, has been kindly offered for
the accommodation Of a number Of la
dies; her yards are to be manned by
American sailors, and the ship decorated
with the flags ofvarious nations" The
Panthea was lying in situation which
would command view ofthc whole pro-
cession. Immediately after the corona
ton the king is to visit ireland. A part
Of his maiesty's baggage had arrived at
Liverpool, to be shipped for Dublin
The state carriages and twenty-scven
horses had been embarked.
At Manchester twenty oxen and 60
sheep. with 400 barrels of ale, are to be
distributed amongst the populace. At
New Castle, pump running with wine
will be opened to the public, and three
pumps will also run ale. After such a
repast we presume, that many of the
good citizens will not feel disposition
to run home.
The Princes Dock, at Liverpool,
which was to be opened on the coronation
day, has been ten years in building.
Paris papers to the 18th Of July had
been received in London. These papers
contain the kings speech on the proro-
cation Of the Spanish Cortes. 1t was
rumored al Paris, that disturbances had
taken place at Madrid, on the Cd and sd
of that month: very little credit was at
tached to the report.
A Newcastle paper ofthe 28th Of June
says, that the weather for the last seven
weeks had been unusually cold and fros-
IT,; and since the sun passed the sum-
mer solstice, on the 2lsl, the frosts have
been more intense, and the winds bitter
from N. E. The leaves of the trees, in
exposed situations, were curled up, and
withered; and from want of rain and
nigh, dews, vegetation looked sickly.
Letters from Conslantinople OF the 9th
ofJune, mention, that Danesi, the Bank er,
has been put to death by order OF the

stances of Count Strogonof, the Russian
Ambassador, to save him-s result
which must have been the more painful
