A very respected friend wishes to obtain from
us . m Information relative tothe best means of
destroying il certain Troublesome weed, called skunk
~cabbnge, which lnfests wntcr meadows, &c. Now,
1t 50 happens, that during the time OF our officiating
as IA practical farmer in our carry days, We never
came III contact with this particular annoyance To
cuitlyntors, and must request our patriotic cores
pondents to AID us in subduing it. We will also
b. on the look out for weapons for asSailing this
vegetable pest.
We viii, however, say a word or two respecting
weeds in general and expect in So doing to utter
some trulsms applicable TO the above mentioned as
well as to other green @rpcntS, which lob our soil,
anIthcrcby pick our pockets, and take the bread
from our mouths, to an extent not realized by SUI
pcrfcial thinkers.
No plant can be naturally propagatcd at any dis
tln3e ttom It's location unless by seeds at least, If
you never permit 1t to ripen its seeds 1t will no,
spread very radiply. Therefore finishes, skunk
cabbage or any other vegetable nuisance should
make its unwclcome appearance on any part OF

african C0lony.--Thc last number Of the Afri-
can r pository contains the despatch received from
the Colonial Agent Mr.. Mechlln, giving an account
ot the late disturbances and hostillties between Hie
natives and the colonists, which resulted ina war
like expedition, and were concluded by a treaty of
peace. 1t seems that somc of the slaves belonging
10 Brumlcy, one of the native Bey kings, made
their escape thcn about 10 be sol to the SpaGiards,
and took refuge in the colony among the recaptured
Africans. Kai Pa, King Brumley's son, came to
demand them, but was answered by the agent that
the King himself must come before any thing would
be said ON The subject. Brmaley never cane, and
soon afterwards died. His SUCCESSOR, who also
took the name of Brumiey, Immediately resolved to
commence lostllities, aud undertook To organise d
league of the native Dey and Gurruh Kings against
The Colony. They Were partially successful in
| prevailing on some TO JOIN them, and commenced
hostlllties by scizing on such of the Colonlsts and
recu rtured Africans as came within their reach
The answer to u message demanding the release OF
the prisoners, was a defiance * Il threat of INVASION.
A detachment was sent against King WiIllcs
town, one of their strong holds, which was repuls-
ed with the loss of a man. A council of war was
then held in the Colony, aud it was unanimously
agreed upon to march with force against the Dcy
people and punIsh them severely. Accordingly on

head of volunteer corps and recaptured Africans, 10
the number of 270 men. The day following they
took possession Of King Brumley's town without
opposition. On the 23l, after a very fatiguing
march through roads obstructed by large trees that
had been fcllcd across tie path. which they were
obliged to cut and remove m order TO bring Coward
their field pieces. I'D tareus4l places where they
had to cut an entirely pew read, being seven hours
in marching ten miles, tile expedition reached
King Willle's town, a place which was considered
impregnable by the natives. This was taken after
a few discharges of musquetry and from the field
piece. The loss of the colonists was one man
(Lieut. Thompson) killed. and three wounded =
that ofthc natives was fifteen killed and a large
number wounded. Both osthe towns that were Ia
ken were burnt by the rccapturcd Africans, and the
expedition returned to Monrovia. Five of the
Kings came to the Cape on the 30th TO sue for peace,
which was regularly concluded, greatly to the COM
mercial advantage Of the Colonists, and to their fu.
ture security. The Agent anticipates great benefit
from the issue. He thinks ii will not only deter the
tribes in the immediate vicinity from injuring the
colony but will have an extensive influence through
out the country. One stipulation in the treaty must
have an excellent effect upon the Trade of the
Country. Heretofore the people ofthe interior have
been prevented by the DEFY people from passing to
the Coast. the laiter thus constituting themselves

LATE OMISSIONS.

Osvsng Belts.--An article appears in the last number of the American Jour nal of Science and the Arts, which con- tains the account of several descents in diving bell, q. Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We extract the suhioined paragraph, descriptive of the sensations oi the adventures, and ihe happy ef. feet which the submarine excursion had upon one of them. Mir. CLIFFoRD.-- The descents were made some years since:
 In descending, a painful sensation was produced on the drum of the ear, at- tended with noise, not unlike that of a fly entangled in spiders web, till the adventurers were at the depth of about l2 feet, when experiencing a sud den shock, they were completely re- lieved. This powerful sensation, the shock and subsequent relief, were regu- larly repeated, as nearly as could be judged, every twelve feet. After a few descents, it was perceived, that by being raised 2 foot or two every eight or ten feet, the shock was avoided, and the men were freed from that painful sensation, which had resulted from the uniformly increasing density of the at mospherc. The eadventnrers once made their submarine descent at the time of high water, when they were seventy two feet below the surface. Two-thirds of the cavity of theiryesscl, as was i'm agined, without making any admeasure- ment, was then filled with water. In a clear day, and with an unru1ied sea, they had light sufficient to read a coarse print, at the greatest depth. As they moved the pebbles, with their gah al

 The United States of America and His Majesty the King of the French, anima- ted with an equal desire to adjust anica- ply, and Tn manner conformable 10 equi- ty, well as to the relations of good in- telligence and sincere friendship which unite the two countries, the reclamations formed by the, respective Governments, have, for this purpose, named for their plenipotentiaries, to wit, the President of the United States, by and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate, William c.

 ARTICLE I.

i the bottom of the river. fish in abnn. dance came 10 the place like a flock of chickens, and as de, old of fear as fiji was q region, where they had never been molested by beings from the extra. aquatic world. From the description oi the adventurers, no scenery in nature can be more beautiful than that exhibit ed to them, on sun-shiny day at the bottom of the deep Piscataqna. IL does not appear that the health of either oi the men was in the least impaired by their submarine excursions. Their PuisatIons were quick, and their perspi- ration was very profuse while under wa ter; and Tn coming out fit, they felt themselves in fit condition for com forta5le sleep.
 one ot my principal motives in gy- ing thls account is, to suggest fact not unworthy perhaps of special notice.-- It Is offered respectfully, without com ment, hoping it may one day prove Il tlnt to produce some experiments which may be of importance 10 the healing.a art. MT. Clifford had for many yeals been afflicted with rheumatic pains. During tlie several weeks he was engaged n this enterprise, he zcos remarkably free from this complaint. The first time he descended III the diving bell, he hap pened 10 be considerably affected with this disorder; but in coming out of if, he was entirely relieved from pain, in- somueh that he walked directly after, SIX miles without inconvenience. This was an exertion, which he had not thought himself able to make, for seve. rai years before.

HARRIsBuRGH, Penn. Sept. IS.-A very singular occurrence took place last week, with the Baltimore stage. The driver stopped as usual, to give his hor- ses water at Highspire, six miles below this place, in the evening. Giving his lines knot around the front standard of the carriage, he stepped into the tavern, leaving his horses in the charge of his hostler, who is rather, as we un- derstand, an aged man. A conflict arose between dog and a cat, near the feet of the horses-tliey became alarm ed, threw the hostler down and passed over him, without doing much injury, and pursued their journe, towards liar. risburgh.
