Threatened Counter Revolution in France.


BY the ship Herald, arrived at Boston, from Lii
yerpool, London papers have been received of the
18th of March, containing the highly important n-
tellgence that every appearance seemed to Indicate
the approach of another revolution in France. The
measures which have been for long time incaut-
|ously pursued by the adherents of the Bourbon IA
mily, to restore the ancient order of things and
which, in consequence OF the very recent restrictive
imposons the press, have burst upon the nation
like flash of lightning, Gf these accounts to be
lbeeved) have ditfused almost universal discomfort
throughout the country. Complaints were pouring
in from all quarters /; reiterated attemps were ma
liking oppose the constituted authorities and, if
lprivate letters be credited, revolution had
already broken out in the interior, headed by Cen
eral Benton, who is stated to have assembled con-
siderable force in opposition to the government, and
Ito have issued proclamation, containing senti-
ments hostile to the Bourbon family, and recon.
Intending their expulsion. similar feeling is stated
to be spreading throughout the departments, where
Napoleon ii. is said to have been proclaimed as the
lrightiul sovereign. Disturbances are even said to
have taken place among the law students in Paris,
and the cries of Vive le Ro and Rien que Ia Charte
heard among the contending parties. 1t was ne
Icessary to call out the Gems d Arms tefore these
Icommotions were suppressed.
| That France is at present IN very convulsed
state there can be no doubt. The British govern
ment had received dispatches in great haste from
Paris, which were considered oil such importance,
that Lord Londonderry who had Just sat down to
dinner, learning their contents, instantly rose
from the table, and fastened apparently in great
lagtson to his Office The Courier, auding to the

Mr. Gileer opposed the bill on the ground that it
ensbled the purchasers and occupiers OF certain
PARIS Of the land, to hold the same at two dollars
per acre, when they worth forty, and the resi-
due Of the lands would be useless TO the States
Mr. Cook was also opposed to it on the sa me
ground and he added that the individuals who en-
tered into the association we'll understood the terms
Of The contract and there was no good reason why
ii should be departed FROM
Mr. TAYLOR was in favor Of the bill on the ground
that necessary TO carry into effect the object
for which the grant was originally made. To en-
courage the cultivation Of the vine and olive was
the primary object Of the grant, and without the
provision of this BILL he believed that object could
not be attained,
H. Mr. Gmer moved that the bill be recommittet

PUNCTUALITY.

MR. SHIRLEY,
Punctuality isavirtuc on which an Essay might
be written that, if duly attended to- would provo
beneficial to some and injurious to none.
That some benevolent writer may be induced
to undertake the task, would here introduce
the subject and suggest 4 few particulars for his
consideration and improvement.
l. Punctuality in attending at the hour of any
appointed meetings, would prevent a loss of time
and delay in transacting the business for which
they may be desigaed.
2. Punctualty in the performance of any
promise, however trivial the matter may be to
which it relates. would afford good trait ia the
character of the promissor.
8. A punctual attendance to ones own business
would prove useful to him, and to those with whom
he has to deal.

in great degree establish the credit ofthe debt

will be completed by the first of May, and that
the frigate Potomac, lately launched, viii be

class of frigates, taken from her natural element,
suspended in the air, and afterwards deposited
on blocks, in a situation similar to that in
which ship is placed when building.

AGRICULTURE.
Extract from Professor Eaton's Pamphlet.
POTATOES

Potatoes should be planted the first ten days in
sIay, or a little before planting Indian corn.
But it is better TO postpone the planting Of pota-
toes than of corn. therefore, in the hurry of
spring work, farmers often leave their potatoes
to be planted the last week in May. To plant
them earlier will never lnjure the crop in any
season and if the season happen to be very dry
about harvest time, the crop viii be much better
il planted the first OF May.
Potatoes are always crop in the yellow
country. Elder Turner, of Nassau, whose farm
is one of the most mountainous in the country,
plants potatoes the fore part of Nav on sward
land, and rarely has less than four or FIVE humid
red bushels from an acre.-On all soils potatoes
should be planted on sward land about the first of
May, ifconvenient.
Seed potatoes should never be cut-one large
whole potatoe is sufficient for hill.-The out
side skin of potatoe, called the cuticle, is the
most durable part, and retains the moisture for
the use of the young plant, unlit is all exhaust
Ell. IL potatoes are cut the nutrtiye juice is alb
sorbed in great measure by the earth. The
evil of cutting seed potatoes is more manifest on
dry soil than if moist. Ii is a mistaken opin-
Ion that whole potatoe is not good, on account
of bringing the plants, toonear together for the
roots, which yield all we seek for, spread in all
direction, and I'll the hill.
Potatoes planted in sandy or loamy soil, will
yield one third more if table spoon full of plast-
er be thrown upon the naked potatoes in each hill
after they are dropped, and before they are COW
cred
Yard manure is very useful, if laid over the
potatoes in each bill, after an inch of soil has
been laid upon them; and then tic hill covered
as deep as usual. But if the manure is laid di-
rcctly upon the naked seed, under il, a
drought will injure the crop.
The most convenient method for raising po-
tatoes, j. TO Plant them aboni the margins Of
cornkeids- Then horse may turn upon them,
when ploughing among the corn without injury.
Potatoes should be hoed when first up. lu~t TO
clear oct the weeds, without making any hill.
After they grow up about six or seven inches,
they should be hiiled up for the last time. Ii
weeds spring up among them, they should be
pulled out, not hoed out Tor if hoed again.
Eaany new potatoes viii set, which will never
grow large enough for use, out will check the
growth VI those carly set.
