The arrival OF the packet Algonquin,

The re-capture of Ipsara by the Greeks
is confirmed by Information received by
the Greek Committee residing at Lon

II is not probable that the French mo-
march is alive al the present hour--hls
malady is now ascertalned to be a para
lysis in the dorsal spine, or palsy in the
back bone which is we believe, but an
other name for death. This fatal insen-
sibility is advancing upwards, and lnva-
ding the citadel Of life. 1t is confidently
asserted that the death OF this monarch
will make no change in the policy OF
France.
A Frankfort paper states, that the dill
ierent German governments have assent
ed to the measures prepared by Austria,
against the liberty OF the Press, the Uni
versities, and the publication of political
debates.
Spain is still described as full of COM
bustible materials, preparing for an ex-
plosion, which it is believed, and at no
distant day, will take place: the legiti-
mate King is now upon the throne, aid
ed by foreign armies, I'd there is the
same disturbance and disquietude as
when he was in the hands of the constitu-
tional party.
A letter received at London, from
Smyrna states, that plumber of all kinds,
taken by the Turks al lpsara, were ex-
posed for sale al that place-little chill
dren not more than two or three years
old were sold for slaves-sacks ofclothcs,
and Jewels and furniture are unloaded !;
ladies' silk and satin gowns, rings, all ia
ken by these monsters from their MUIR
dered victims, were publicly exposed
for sale.
Astonishing deeds Of heroism are re-
lated Of the women Of Ipsara in the late
affair; many of them defended them
selves sword in hand, and in some in
stances, after having slain two or three
of the enemy, have deliberately stabbed
themselves, exclaiming, 1--WE are not
Sciots, patiently TO give up our lives
and liberty;" in other instances they
sacrificed their children, and afterwards
themselves; on this account, it is said
that there are so few captives, compared
with the number slain. Any prisoner
that tho Turks take, capable Of bearing
arms, is i'm nediately killed to prevent
expense ana trouble.

81 our Republic, they bestowed on 1t
the immortal name Of WAsHINGToN
under whom you learned the art OF war !;
under whom you became great and
mighty prop to our cause; always COM

The hours OF gloom and peril; and after

10 which Gen. La fayete made the
following reply:
l ne kind and flattering reception
with which | am honured by the citizens
OF Washington, excite the most lively
feelings OF gratitude; those grateful
feelings, Sir, at every step OF my happy
visit to the United States, could not but
enhance the lneXpresslbIe delight have
enjoyed at sight OF the Immense aud
wonderful Improvements, SO lar beyond
even the iondest snlIcipatlons OF warm
American heart; aud which IN the space
OF forty years, have SO gloriousiy evin-
ced the superiority of popular institutions,
aud selt-governmenl, over the too lmper-
feet state of political civilization, found
in every part OF the other hemisphere.
IN this august place, which bears the
most venerable of all ancient and mo-
dern names, have, Sir, ihe pleasure to
contemplate, not only a centre of that
constitutional Union So necessary to
these states, so Important 10 the interests
Of mankind, but also great political
school where attentive observers from
other parts of the world may be taught
the practical science of true social or
der.
Among the circumstances of my life
TO which you have been pleased to alude,
none can afford me such dear rccollec-
tons as my having been early adopted
as an American soldier, SO there is not a
circumstance of my reception in which
take SO much pride, as in sharing those
honors with my beloved companions In
arms. Happy | ain TO feel that the
marks of affection and esteem bestowed
on me, bear testimony to my perseve-
rance in the American principles re-
ceived under the tent OF Washington,
and Of which | shall, to my last breath,
prove myself devoted disciple. | beg
you, Mr.. Mayor, and the gentlemen Of
the Corporation, to accept my respectful
acknowledgements to you and 10 the cili-
zens OF Washington.

WASHINGTON, OCT. 10,

WASHINGTON, OCT. 10.
Yesterday morning Gen. LA FAYETrE
breakfasted with the Secretary OF the
Treasury: and afterwards received visits
from ladies and gentlemen Of the city, at
the Franklin House.
At two o'clock accompanied by the
Mayor and several other gentlemen, he
called upon the Secretary of the Navy,
with whom he repaired to the Navy
Yard.
On entering the Yard he was received
by the Marine Corps; full band was
playing, and national salute was fired.
He was then in company with the Secre-
taries of State, and of The Navy, the Ma
Wy Commissioners, Com. Tingey, and
number of Naval Officers, taken through
the Yard.
Com. Rodgers explained to him the
Inclined Plane, its use, and great advan-
tages, while they were standing under
the Potomack, fine frigate of The first
class, which was taken out of the water,
aud removed up into the Yard, upon the
Inc lined Plane. In answer to a question
put by Gen. La Fayette, the Commo-
dore said, fifty men could remove the
frigate from the water to the present po-
sition.
Tho General afterwards visited the
Dry Dock; the machine for proving the
strength of chain cables, Constructed
we are informed, by Com. Porter;) the
anchor shop, the large steam engine, the
blockmakers' shop, (where the lathes
are all turned by machinery connected
with the engine,) and the works of the
Yard generally. In the Armory, the
perfect neatness, order, and arrangement
of the various descriptions of arms-the
taste with which every thing was fitted
up, and the situation of the whole esta-
bllshinent, met with the highest COM
ri cndaiions from the General.
While here an Interesting incident &C.
Cured, that should not be verlooked.
Com. Porter, who saw the General was
fa,igued, and walked quite lame, presen-
ted him, by the Mayor, with cane which
was cut some time ago, from tree that
grew al The tomb of WAsHINeToN. No
present could have been received with
more pleasure by him; ne appeared
much affected, and expressed in warm
terms his sense Of the favour confcrr ed
upon him by the Commodore he said
he would carefully preserve the cane
as a precious relic of his departed and
reversd trisnd,"
On his leaving the Yard, another
salute " as fired; he was escorted to Col.
Hendersoa's quarters, where he review
ed ihs Marines, commanded by Captain
Breome. After stopping few minutes
at Colonel Ienderson's, he returned to
tbs Presidents 10 a private dinner.
The entrsnce to the Navy-Yard was
very ta5ret0lly decorated with wreaths
and tssfeons Of eYergrecns and flowers.
Over tie door OF the Laboratory was an
Eagle. (.snt bg Nr Griffith for the pur-
pose) With label IN its beak, bearing
the American motto, (" FREE TRADE AND

TIE Preventipes of Skech.-The
| most common preyentiyes OF sleep may
be traced TO the stomach, which Is by
many sci to work at bedtime, and kept al
it for the night. If you eat hot hea-
Wy supper, or which is the same thing, a
late dinner, you cannot in any conscience,
expect to sleep, just as the stream
of blood in the brain is beginning TO
make its natural evening pause, your
| heavy supper or your late dinner, stlrs 1t
| EDWARDS IN an increasing current which,
nothing has any chance of safely stop
ping again, except the stomach pump.
Opium indeed will do, but not safely 4;
for i, viii stop the digestion, as well as
the current Of the blood; and after dose
of opium your supper, in the morn
ing will be corrupted mass, which will
probably bring you in FOR fever, fit OF
govt, the Jaundlce or apoplexy. A more
agreeable plan would be to have supper
early, at least three hours before going
| to bed-in which case the heavier work
of the stomach would be completed, and
it would then allow the nerves and the
brain to be quiet, and the blood 10 dimi-
nsh lis velocity. Tea is by many accused
as preventive of sleep, and il may be
SO in the following way: in the FIRST place
-, the hot water OF the tea passes imnedi.
atelv from the stomhch into .he blood,
and by making ii thinner, must facilitate
! its current through the body In the
second place the tea acting as stimn-
Ian, to the nerves, spurs hem into acti-
witty, and increases the flow of blood
into the brain. That tea has not always
ibis effect, depends on The POPULARITY OF
constitution. Some, for example, may
have their blood SO thick thai all the wa
ter OF a basin or two of tea G,ay not be
sufficient to thin it and others nerves
SO dali that tea may spur without arous-
ing them. The same remarks apply 10
cold feet. Be careful of your feet ii
you can, procure wash leather or feecy
hosiery socks, with silk ones over them
when necessary. The invalid and sedeD.
tary ought always indeed to sleep with
silk socks, il lambs wool is too disagree
able. Gold feet are the cause OF the
most serious diseases 4; for, leaving sleep
out OF the question, what would you
say to fit of apoplexy, or fatal inAam-
NATION of the bowels, or a rapid con-
sumption all Of which may DC caused
BY cold feet.

.Ns7o Religious Sect.-Mention has
lately been made in the papers, Of body
OF people in Manchester, Eng land, who
profess as one of their leading tenets,
20 abstain wholly from animal food, and
to live entirely on vegetable and farina-
ceous diet. A writer in the Philadel-
phIa Gazette states, as fact not gene

similar opinions, and living in the same
manner, exists IL that city. They hav e
"a small meeting house, and attend

are subject to dreams that all our sub
scribors locked in an paid up tLeir old
accounls-consequently, We imm edialely
procured new type from Newly DIRK, en-
larged the Advocate, and paid off the
paper maker. In this we were exceed
ingly delighted-but just as we were
about 10 render the most grateful &C
acknowledgements to our patrons, an un-
lucky laundering little insect, which we
do think might have found better pick

IS families OF l3 children each and one
family OF 2 children---to,al, 90 families,

the parents. The greatest number OF
children to any one family, was "a, aud
these were by two wives. Slch instan-
ces of extraordinary fecundity, in the ear
ly settlement of our country, were not
rare. DIR. Mather mentions one woman
who had not less than % children, By one
husband, whereof l9 lived to mems and
Women's states; and third who was mo-
ther to q children. The mother Of Co
vernon Phipps had Is children, Of which
D were sons. Rev. John Sherman, first

by two wives---20 bv MS last wife. Rev.
Samuel Willard, the first minister OF
Gro,on, and afterwards Of Boston, aud
Vice-PresiIent of Harvard College, had
