TRADE WITH FRANCE.

( The long expected Convention with France
has come at last. II was signed at Washington
the Gath nit. promulgated by the President The
same day and the provisions of it will be ope-
rative after the first Of October ensuing. 1t will
give fresh start TO American navigation, not
outstanding France appears to have the best Of
the bargain.
From the National IafelIgeacer of 9Th alt
The French Tredfy.-We had i'll our last the salts
faction to lay before readers the Treaty laely
concluded IN this city. between the Secretary of State
and the Minister OF France; aud we now pronose
briefly to examine its contents
The first and second articles limit the ap,orr. of he
discriminating duty which shall hereafter be imposed
by the government of either country on merchandise
imported into the countries respectively in the vessels
OF the other country viz 20 francs per ton of
dze on American goods imported into France nv onr
vessels ana three dollars and seventy-fve cents per
ION on French goods imported into this country nv
French vessels. The measure of limitation. which
neither party Is 70 exceed, being the same the duty
may be considered equal and is at least founded on
principle Of reciprocity. As the produce of tie United
states Is more bulky than that which is received from
france In return for IT, this duty though of equal
amount may operate IN favor Of France If any thine
re yielded IN TINS respect, il has been in shirt of ac
commodaton and from sincere desire 10 get rid al
the dlfhcultes which have lately embarrassed the In
tercourSe between the two countries,
The ID article provides that no Discrimination dntes
snail be imposed IN either country On goods imported
IN vessels OF the other for transit or re-exportation
Ems provision appears TO be perfectly fair and recn
roca's anl al least unexceruonable

by stroke of lightning on the bluff, in front of

This unhappy man had just been INDUCING in the
most extreme profanity, insulting the Majesty Of

mOngst other dreadful expressions had lust ex-
pressed wish that the Almighty God would send
flash Of lightning from Heaven to strike him 10

and the lightning flashing through the Heavens
N the most appalling and terrific manner. and
| in few moments the Boosting tongue which
breatlfed anathemas against its Maker, & the eve
that had brayed The ayenging flash, lay s,illed and
closed in death. His body, Law scathed and
| wlthered corpse on the blackened earth. How
weak and how wicked are the idle denunciations
OF man to rcvie, to outrage his fellow man. Is
wicked to revile, to outrage, and defy his Gre
ator, is horrible.

SURGERY.

1t is said in the English papers that
Mr.. Amesbury, 3 surgeon, has invented
a machine for setting fractures of the leg
and thigh, which is recommended by
sir Ashley Cooper, and which appears
from the description, to possess superior
advantages to any thing of The kind. 1t
produces no pain, keeps the ends of the
bones nicely adapted, and enables the
physician 70 fix the limb in any position
he pieases. The patient may be allowed
TO place the limb in any position mos,
comfortable to himself, and to alter il a,
pleasure with perfect safety. a person
may by means Of this machine, not oniy
get cut OF bed, bot If the inflammation is
no! unusually great, he may at the end oil
three or four days sit up or walk abou,
by The help of crutches. II also assures
the patient recovery much more spec
Oily than in cases treated OH at present,
and insurcs straight and perfect limb.
Ar. Amesbury has also invented an in.
stumeni Tor fractures in the arm upon
the same principle.

THE PANTHER STORY.

PROVIDENCE, RI OCT. TO- When few
days ago, it was stated in Connecticut
paper that boy in Westerly, in this
state, had shot very large panther, We
did not believe the statement. because il
appeared altogether Improbable that any
animal ofthat species existed in this part
OF the Country. A person, however, from
Hopkinton, has fully confirmed the ma
tcriai Tact of the statement, and his ac-
count may be relied on.
Some months ago, this person says, tho
people near the line of North S,oninp.
ton and Voluntown, Conn. missed maoy
ct their sheep, and could not then ac.
count for their disappearance. Abou,
the same time, the dogs of the neighbor.
hood started a wild animal in deep
swamp, but could not be prevailed upon
TO follow, and the men could not get sight
OF him. On the Sd of September, lit
tie before sunset, Samuel Allen, boy
Is or ID years old, son of MIR. Josua Al.
len, observed that his little dog had tlri.
ven some animal into tree i'm a thicket.
about fourth of a mile from the house.
lie went to the house, and took down his
fathers gun. which was already loaded
with shot, and with an axe, went to the
spot. When he had got within about
so feet Of the tree, he saw large ami
NAL in it, about the same distance from
the ground. The creature was so large
that the boy concluded to put a bullet
into his gun. While he did this, the ami
NAL growled dreadfully, and flourished
his tail. He endeavored to take aim
but the gun being too heavy, he went and
cut forked stake, which he stuck into
the ground 10 rest on. Then taking ve>
ry careful sight, he fred. The monster
fell to the ground, MORALLY wounded, and
the boy ran to him, and knocked him on
the head with the back Of his axe. The
bullet, ii seems, went through his breast
obliquely, so near the heart as to pierce
| the pericardium III two places.
This animal was so heavy, that the boy
could not move him, and went home.
where he found his father, who had been
away that afternoon. He told him he
believed he had killed the devil. The
next morning Mr.. Allen went with a
( yoke Of oxen, and drew him out of the
thicker. He weighed 144 pounds, was
feet 10 inches from the tip Of his nose
to the end of his tail, and as broad across
the breast as a horse. His skin was We
ry carefully taken off, cured and stuffed,
and will be exhibited at the Pawtuxet fair
next week. While he was in Ilopllin,on,
it is supposed he destroyed l5 or 90
sheep. The bones of some were found
!, in his stomach.
