nation and intellect. 1t is to be infer
red from the latter part of the story,
that the unnatural and painful exertions
by which this person assumed the ap-
pearance of disease, produced at length
fatal result. Death would no longer
be Knocked with immunity. The coun-
terfeit corpse, few hours after it's last
revival, relapsed into state which was
capable of no longer resuscitatiop. But
the case is SO interesting and remarka-
Bile as do deserve our giving il in all the
detail with which DR.. Cheyne presents
il TO his readers.
He could die or expire when he
pleased; and yet, by an effort, or some
how, he could come TO life again. He
insisted SO much upon our seeing the
trial made, that we were at last forced
70 comply. We all three felt his pulse
first; it was distinct, though small and
Shready, and his heart had IFS usual
beating. He composed himself on his
back, and lay in still posture for some
time. While he held his right hand, Dr.
Baynard laid his hand on bis heart, and
Mr.. Shrine held a clear looking-glass TO
his mouth. found his pulse sink grad
ually, till at last could not feel the least
motion in his heart nor could Mr..
Shrine perceive the least sort Of breath
on the bright mirror held TO bis mouth.
Then each Of us by turns examined his
arm, heart, and breath but could not,
by the incest scrutiny, discover in him
the least symptom of life. We reason
ed long time, as we could, about this
odd appearance and finding he contin.
ued in that state, began to conclude that
he carried the experiment too far. Al
last we were satisfied that he actually
was dead, and were ready to leave him
This continued half an hour. BY nine
O'Clock in the morning, as we were go
ing away, we observed some motion a
bout the body, and, upon examination
foaBd his pulse and the motion of his
heart gradually returning he began to
breathe gently and speak softly. We
+ were astonished at this unexpected
change: after some further conversation
with him and with each other, went
away fully satisfied as to all the particu-
lars of this fact, but not able to account
for il. He afterwards called for an at.or.
ney, added codicil to his will, and
calmly and composedIy died, about 5 OF
O'Clock that evening"

RUSSIA AND PERsiA.--The general
opinion is that the Russian war with Per-
STA will not be of long duration. Great
preparations were making by Russia
The army of the Don was distant only
few days march from that of Georgia.
Gen. YermolofT was advancing with ff-
~ thousand men. The Georgian Prince,
Alexander, who deserted the Russian
standard for that of Persia, is supposed
to be one of the principal insligators of
this idle war.
The Emperor of Russia published
formal declaration of war against Per-
STA, on the 98ih Sept. but battle had
previousy occurred on the Cd, in which
the former were victorious. The Rus
| slams attacked the Persians at The Cha
mora, 10000 strong, and killed 1000.
Gen ermoloff, in an order of The day,
says the Persian Court has been treach-
erous; and the Russian manifesto inti-
| mates that war will be carrie on I'LL Sc
CURLY and indemnity shall be obtained.
A letter from Constantinople, dated
Sept. 25'h, says, that the Porte persists
in the plan Of reforming the army with
unabating obstinacy. A new ambassa-
dor had arrived from Persia within "a
few days. He comes with the official
news OF the commencement Of hostii-
lies with Russia. He declares that the
mountaineers of Caucasus will Use 10
mass against Russia, and the Turks be-
lieve il. II is rnmored that this envoy
comes 10 ask help from the Porte.

A grand seignor caused his vizer's

the arm should be thrown up, and who
ever caught it falling, should succeed
IN the vizer's place; but upon terms to
be served the same sauce at the years
end. When the crowd was come to-
geiher 10 catch this arm, one man,
more ciligent and dexterous than the
rest, caugh: it. So he was vizer; and,
at the years end his right arm was cut
of, and thrown up as before, and he
himself, with his left arm caught it
again; and after his second year, his
ieh arm was cut off and thrown up, and
ne caught il with his mouth. This is TO
shew what men will suffer 10 gain a
pre-eminence over others.
