Beer from Pota,oe.-The German papers an
nource a discovery Of Professor Volken, Of Ell.
iurth, of a method Of making beer from pota-
toes, beyond all comparison superior to that
made Of barley. This new liquor, says the ac-
keeps very well, and is made without
hops, at least without the bitter taste they give,
1t is made at all seasons Of the year, and sells
for a better price than the old kind. One grea,
advantage Of this discovery is, tina, the sub
stance Of dried potatoes can be preserved ma
ny years without damage. The author has OBJ
tanned a patent for his invention, which has
been put into operation in many districts with
the happiest success.

Of the city, where was built for the occasion a

Liberty seated lhereon-the whole richly paint

artillery and small arms The artillery, infant

and formed u grand procession, with the d'tfer-

and proceeded from the palace by the temple
Of independence through the public streets, and
back to the public square. in the afternoon
the procession visited the gardens or public
walks, which gre most elegant, containing oun-
