"Whereas it is deemed expedient for the Ge-
neral Government to guaranty the expenditure
of a reasonable sum ofmoney to aid in the execu-
ton Of certain important objects of internal I'm
provements; and whereas it is prudent to &C
compish this great design in manner that
will be the most reconcileabIe to all
Be it therefore enacted, &c. That the money re-
mGning in the Treasury, after the payment Of
such appropriations as may be made at each
session Of Congress, shall be set apart, and be
considered, as Fund for the purposes Of Inter-

pended in making subscriptions on the part of
the General Government, in such Companies

ted company, according to the number Of

State shall al any time have right to purchase
rho .tock so subscribed on the mart Of the Uni.

interest thereon, from the time the subscrip.
ton shall have bren made; and on payment
thereof the Secretary Of the Treasury shall

neers shall examine and make report in wri-
ting 10 the Secretary of War, that they are

Of construction: Provided, however, that the re-
port may be made before or after the passage
Of the act authorizing the subscription or aid
to the State, at the pleasure Of Congress /; but,
in case it shall be made after, it is,to be made
condition, that the act is not to 60 into effect
until such report shall have been made"

An article from Wurtzburg, gives very Ia
yorable view OF the operations OF the new ba-
yarian Monarch. BY reducing his military and
other expenses, he will, at all events, hghten
the burdens of his people. IT his example DC
generally initiated by the smaller Powers, the
distinction between the small and great States
of Europe will be this-that in the former the
people will be prosperous and happy; Ill the
latter they viii have less to eat and drink, Dat
abundance Of glory.
Ertraet efa Letter from Wytzb,rg, Nov. II.
aThe Kingdom Of Bavaria, since the death
az our beloved Monarch, is divided between
two powerful Sentiments-regret and nope -
The new King, by new system directly oppo-
site to that Of his predecessor, mas deGiared
himself i'm favor Of retrenchments. Nobody,
however. ventures to blame the boundless gene
rosity and goodness Of the late King The re-
trenchments spoken OF fall upon things, the
inutility of which is acknowledged, and which
might be even characterised by another ex-
preston, if good were not always sure OF esca-
ping censure, however misled 1t may be. II
is now said that the late King himself intende"
TO suppress certain expenses, but 1t was re-
pugnant to his royal heart to deprive any Oh MS
subjects Of an employment, which ne heid al
the time Of his accession to the throne. ne
could not prevail on himself to diminish the
portion Of bread, or take il away fron him who
was in possession of it, OF who wanted 1t The
reforms now in contemplation are calculated 10
interest all Germany, for they affect the higher
branches of the administration, and the King s
household The new Monarch, who has con-
ceived the idea of them, shews that he pos
sesses, in the highest degree, patriotic sentl-
men,s worthy to be initiated BY all the Princes
ofthe confederation
"Every body knows, that among the COM
plaints which are repeated throughout Germa.
nv, is the useless support, in times oil peace. OF
numerous bodies OF troops oy estates wnicn
have very little weight in the present system Of
Furore. while the expense absorbs the greater
nar, Of the revenue Of their States; another
poin,. is the expensive parade Of numbers Of
useless horses. A proof Of this luxury, when
passes all bounds, is che late reduction Of the

GREECE.
Extract of letter from Naval Officer dated of Solo,
September4.
"With regard to the present actual condition
of the Greek contest, as far as it respects ulti-
mate success, it is by no means promising
The Turks have virtual possession Of the
whole Morea, and their headquarters is now
at Tripolizza, the capital, and they might, with
a very little sacrifice, over-run the whole OF
Greece, for the Greek troops are so wretchedly
disciplined that they never make stand until
they attain the top Of hill, or get behind a
wall; and as every one is his own master, they
generally run helter-skelter in every direction,
but the one in which the Turks are advancing;
but, luckily for the Greek cause, the Turks are
nearly as adverse to active measures as the
Greeks themselves, and the affairs Of the Morea
have been quite stationary for the last two
months; but as the plague has broken out a.
mongst Ibrahim Pacha's army, and the country
around him is miserably poor, it is to be hoped
that pes,ilence, famine, and the winter, will ac-
complish for the Greeks what they will never
effect Ihemselves-the destruction Of the Tur-
kish army The naval affairs of Greece are re.
ally not whit better than those Of the army,
Notwithstanding the flaming accounts we read
every day in the papers Of brilliant and decisive
ship actions. The fleets are generally in sight
of each other, but they never approach by any
chance within gun-shot; and although mutu.
al cannonading is frequently kept up between
them, it is always at much too respectful dis.
lance to do any mischief, and the Turkish fleet
has now returned to Rhodes unhurt by its sum-
mer campaign. The only gallant exception TO
all this burlesque is in the person OF Canaris,
the intrepid Commander of some freships, who,
in the course ofthe contest, has destroyed COM
Dletely, with his own hand, two Turkish line
of battle ships and several frigates, and has per.
formed ac,s of valour that am sure have not
been equalIed in the annals Of warfare. He is
still, through the jealousy Of his great exertions
and success, a very poor and obscure individu.
al, and is obliged to 60 about from one Greek
Island to another, to beg for some crazy old
vessel to convert into ire-ship; and the only
condition he makes with the Government is TO
provide for his wife in The event of his death.
He was sufferer at the massacre Of Ipsara; Of
which place he is native, and will never for
get the lesson the Turks there taught him
We have just learned that he has tried 10 set
FIRE to the shipping in Alexandria, and when on
the point of succeeding, he was foiled by sud-
den adverse wind; but the very attempt, in SO
inaccessible harbour as Alexandria, crowns
him with immortal honor"

POETRY.

TIME AND BEAUTY.
Ruthless time, who waits for no man,
But with scythe, and wings and glass,
Lies in wait for youth and woman,
Saw one morning Beauty pass.
Der the flowers she bounded lightly,
Smiling as summers day;
Time, who marked her eyes beam brightly,
Chose the fair one for his prey.
'Maid." he udely cried. ''good morrow!
Know'st thou not what rights are mine!
Beauty 'tis my wont to borrow;
And come to gather thine"
''Prl not yield it" cried she boldly,
ssMonster, do not draw so Nigh"
'Come with me-" he answeredly coldly,
go with thee" said she, s'not l."
Time his scythe extended DER her,
Threatening with his withered hand; =
And his hour-glass shook before her,
Pointing to the running sand.
But the maiden all intrepid,
Answered, laughing carelessy,
II am young, and tnou decrepid;
What hast thou to do with me"
Time replied, with purpose steady.
"wrinkles must lend thy brow"
Beauty cried, 'l'm not yetready,"
Flying, cried, mot ready now"
Time pursued, with viii mistaken:
Beauty fed with rapid feet,
Yet was seen well nigh o'ertaken,
For the old mans wings are fed.
Bus the maiden nothing fearful,
Calls ON Wisdom, power divine;
Wisdom comes, with aspect cheerful,
Leads her to her ancient shrine.
There her eve all passion loses,
But with reason shines serene;
Truth its sober charms diffuses
Gently DER her softened mien.
Thought restrains hery uthfal wildness,
Calmness holy hopes bestow,
On her face love joined to mildness
Blends its light with virtues glow.
Time saw heavenly graces cluster,
Left o'enwed his will undone;
Beauty smiled in angel lustre,
Time was vanquished! Beauty won.

To restore decayed praings Cover the letters
with philogis,icated or prussic alkali, with the
addition Of diluted mineral acid; upon the ap-
plication Of which the letters change very spec
Oily to dead blue color, of great beauty and
intensity, To prevent the spreading Of the CO.
lor, which, BY plotting the parchment, detracts
greatly from the legibllity, the alkali should be
put on first, and the diluted acid added upon it.
The method found to answer best, has been, to
spread the alkali thin with feather OF bit Of
stick cut TO blunt point. IT then, the corner
ola bit blo,lng paperb be carefully applied nea
the letter. SO as 10 imbibe the supernuous liquor,
the staining Of the parchment may be in great
measure avoided. Care must be taken not to
bring the blotting paper in contact with the
letters, because the coloring matter is soft whilst
wet, and may easily be rubbed off The acid
chiefly employed is the marine; but both the
vitriolic and nitrous, succeed very well; they
should be so diluted as not to be in danger Of
corroding the parchment.
