an intelligent master OF vessel obser-
we'd, that when he was at 81. Eusta,ia,
he heard an eminent physician remark,
that he had many eases of The lock-
ed Jaw, aud never lost a patient. On
inquiry of him as to the particular mode
Of treatment in which he had been so
successful, Inc physician replied that ne
directed an application of warm I've
made of ashes, as strong as possible; il
the foot or hand was wounded, the same
was dipped repeatedly intothe lye, and
if a part ofthe body, which could not be
immersed in it, then in that case the part
affected TO be baihed with flanneIs wruns
out from the warm I've. In July last,
Capt. Charles Gordon, of Newport, I'M
forum atcly jumped upon scraggy
pointed spike, which perforated his boot
and foot, and he was taken home in the
mostexcruciatIng torture the attending
physician could afford him no relief
Provideniiaily a lady, who heard the
above conversation, Recommended The
warm I've bath, into which bis foot was
placed within IS minutes the anguish
was taken out: he went to bed and slept
quietly. The application OF lye was
made for ten succeeding days; no pain,
no uneasy sensation returned, but what
is incident to common sore, and on
the eleventh day, capt. Gordon walked
abroad Aeuport Msrcisy.

WsRAT GUATIMALA--We have
conyersed with gentleman who left
TruAilo Sept. I, who corroborates the
intelligence receiyedat N. York, relative
to the Civil War in Grenada and the
province OF Guatimala. He states that
! a massacre of all the whites had taken
place at Leon, amounting to Ito men,
women, and children and that the
communication with the interior, and
Truxillo, was cut off. The cause Of
these unhappy connections was sup
nosed to arise from the ambition Of a
few Creoles, who were DESTROYS to
crush the Goyernme Mt, and place every
individual on an equality as relates to
property. An indiscrim inmate plumber
| Of all property of the whites took place.
Affairs wore most dismal aspect, BUSH
ness Of all kinds was at stand at Trux-
lilo, no money or produce. An Ameri-
can schooner from New York was az
st Jehn's cargo gone up the Lake
and fears were entertained for its safe
". Boston Palladium.
A writer in the Louisiana Advert

i'll the protestant burial ground in that
city, are made. He asserts, ''aiter the
late heavy falls OF rain, there were
from eighteen to twenty inches of wa
ter on the surface OF the ground, on
which great number OF collins were
seen floating, and being agitatcd by
the wind, were driven in different di
iections, knocking against each other,
and forming deadly representation Of
sham sea fight. The dry weather
and The hot sun which we have expo
rienced since, has in some measure
caused the w alter evaporate, and with
it, of course, the masma 10 be drawn
into the atmosphere, and no doubt the
pernicious effect oft is much contribu-
ted to the continuance of the epidemic
which has caused so much DISSOLUTION
Citizen Granuille.-We regret TO
learn that Citizen Granville has sailed
for st Domingo, that something unex
pected demanded his presence III Hay
Il we have every reason 10 believe.
1t was the intention OF that gentleman
to have remained in this country until
the session OF our congress, to whom
he was charged to make some com
munications. However, we trust that
his primary object, the collnizatlon OF
Hayti, has received such an impulse
that it will not be essentially retarded
by his absence. Sat. Her.
