Monsieur Chabert, the Fire King, in a commuuica- ton 10 the editor of New-York paper, pronounces the article going the rounds of the papers that his an- tdoe for Prussc Acid had been discovered and is no more nor less than Chlorine, as fiction; that the se- is still with him alone; and he says, to remove n doubt rhe subject, if Mr. Cohen Uhe pretended discoverer) will do me the favor attend one of my public exhibitions, will conjointIy with him make the experiment. The Acid shall be given by me to the dogs, and he shall administer the antdpte; his opn ion then, venture to say, will be materially changed have not made these experiments in public since have been in NewYork, because was comprehensive of wounding the feelings of those who honor me with their presence, and turning interesting entertain ment into disgusting exhibition"
 Monsieur Chaber,, add the editors of the New York Courier, in handing them his communication, "has requested to say, that to test the prussc acid he uses, and the efficacy of his antidote, he is willing to wager thousand dollars the following experiment: The prussic acid shall be given four dogs to two he will administer the antidose and they shall recover the two others shall die n spite of any antdo,e which any one else may think proper to administer. The experiment to be made in the presence of select number ofscentifc gentlemen. He conditions, how ever, that the dogs shall twenty hours in his possession after the antidote is administered in or der that the ingredients of which i, is composed may not be discovered
 This is a fair offer-and if the discoverer has any faith in his andote he will now have fine chance to test it, and to win the money.
