Interference TO promote union, and not divi-

In that state of affairs what was the duty oil

Richmond, May 23.-The accounts we have
received from various parts of the Common.
wealth, describe the drought as particularly
distressing. Some of the wells have dried up;
| and even some of the mills, which are situated
upon the rivers, are arrested or reduced in
their operations by the want Of water. The
| growing crops ofrye, oats, clover, sc. is much
| injured in the fields We have not had rain,
since we last mentioned the drought, except a
slight shower on Sunday night But the wealth
er.wise prophets say, thar as the moon is now
full we may look out for plentiful showers. So
mote il be!
Another peculiarly Of this spring is, the vast
the woods. The appearance Of this noisy in
sect is said to be periodical; but observers &C.
casionally differ as 10 the seasons of its return.
Some say il is the 9TH; others the 18th year. II
it be either the one or the other, the phenome-
non is strange enough; and its solution remains
among "the things in heaven and earth" which
are not "dreamed of in our philosophy" They
abound in the forests of oak; sometimes many Of
them swarming on one tree and scarcely one
tree whose foliage escapes the devourer. We
have heard of their swarming in many parts;
south Of the James River, on the Pamunkey, as
high up as the vicinity Of the Blue Ridge, Sc
In this neghbourhood, the locusts have cast
their old Shells and they are in the act Of depos-
ting their eggs. Plucking IF the branch of
the tree on which you see them, you will dis
cover several longitudinal Sits in the bark; al
most in line with each other; on opening
which you find the rows of the eggs lying UNI
der the bark. These eggs are white; and from
their number promise plentiful crop Of the in
sect.-The present Locust Of the woods is diff
ferent in several of its characters from the one,
which regularly visits our houses and yards in
The autumn. The former has "a body Of deep
brown colour, and the edges Of its gauze wings
are Of deep yellow-the other is larger, and
all its colours are much lighter, being greenish,
SC: The former has murmuring, mournful
note, something like that Of the small frog; the
latter utters the shrillest note known to us; so
much so as apparently to make the interior OF
the ear to culver with the agitation.
The Asiatic travellers tell US Of the immense
devastation which is occasioned by the swarms
Of Iocus,s in those regions; eating up almost
every species Of heritage, shrub, and corn; and
threatening man himself with famine. We
do not appprehend any such calamity from our
present vsitants. They have not yet attacked
our fields; and will no doubt find leaves enough
to subsist upon, until the heat Of the summer or
the drenching Of the rains shall drive them
away.
The name or friendship, Of known and de-
serving character, is often made the preface to
scene Of fraud.

KING OF THE NETHERLANDS.


There is degree of condescending familiar
ity in the conduct of the King Of the Neither
lands, towards his subjects, that might we'll be
initiated by other sovereigns-The Brussels
Oricle, in giving an account Of the Levee held
on the 5th Of April says
"Persons Of all ranks were present; there
were no porters, no guards, no janissaries Of
any kind, and no etiquette. Without any pre-
vious application, without formalities Of any
bind, people present themselves, inscribe their
names, and are introduced into the Anti-cham.
Der, where, whoever pleases, sits down, While he
may see his King standing in the next apart
ment; receiving with an affabiity which may
be truly called paternal, whoever is presented 10
him in his turn according to the list.
"Foreigners who are accustomed to enter
Royal residences only through forest Of bay
onets, carbines, or halberts, and after having
gone through lumber Of formalities which
are always troublesome, ard often ridiculous,
cannot believe their own eyes. II may be said,
without exaggeration, that it is more easy to
enter the abode Of the King Of the Netherlands,
and to be received there as one might be by
good father, than il is in some countries not far
off, to approach petty clerk, who will often
affect the most nsupportable arrogance, and
the most ridiculous gravity"
