LArE FROM FRAscE.-By the arrival on
Thursday Of the packet ship Norn,and,e
Capt. Peii. the editors OF The n. York
Courier and Enquirer have received files
of Paris and Hayro papers TO the 18Th uIt.
The new French Ministry is not We,
completely organized. Marshal Soult has
positively refused TO accept the depart
ment OF war. Nj. de Caux has also refu
sed il. A rumor. at the last accounts,
was prevalent ia the capital, that Gen. Der
nard, formerly Of the u. States Engineer
Corps, will be forced By the express com
mand Of the King, to accept this portefe
uille. nj Martin du Nord, in whom The
department of Commerce and Public
Works was assigned, has accepted the lat
ter, but declined the former Office.
SpAis.-A letter from Spain says. that
the health Of the Queen Of Spain is yisibly
affected By the position in which she is
placed. Every day brings with it new
cause for fears, aad new demands from
those who are now her masters. 1t is no,
enough that she has ordered the sale Of
ecclesiastical property; she is required to
destroy the aristocracy altogether, and 10.
abolish entails. No priests, monas.ic or
secular, are 10 be permitted. The army
IS also suspected. and the arrest of all IN
successful Generals is called for. In the
meantime, the officers desert, or refuse
all subordination : whole regiments badly
commanded, without pay, disband them
selves. The Third Regiment, it is said,
has gone over 10 the Carlis,s. The Treas
ury is so exhausted that the receivers in
the provinces have been authorised to Dor
row on notes payable to order; and Mad
rid is without garrison. Should the Car
list partisan chief Gomez suddenly appear
befar re Madrid, it is thought that it would
(sll into bis hands without much resist
ance.

A RAY OF LIGnT.-A public meet
ing of the friends of Reform in Wash.
ington county, Md. was held in Ha.
gerstown on Wednesday the 18th inst.
at which Col, VIM. Fitzhugh, (V. b.
presided, and in which Messrs Magill|
and Wason, two Of the nineteen cleo
tors ofSenatc took part--at which the
following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, We view the subject of
reform as paramount to every other,
and we are prepared to sink every 9TH
er question in its advancement, and
whereas, many profess to be in favor
ofReform, provided it be not connect
ed with the politics of the general gov
eminent, therefore, as a means Of uni
ting the friends Of reform ofall parties,
be it
RESOLVED, That as soon as s~atisfacto-
ry assurances are given that a majority
Of State Senators will be chosen favor
able to the passage Of a law calling a
convention for the purpose of re-mod-
cling the present constitution of the
State of Maryland, WI recommend
Robert Wason and Charles Magill, the
Senatorial electors Of Washington CO.,
to enter the Electoral College and aid
in electing a Reform Senate, even if
the members thereof be selected from
the Wing party.
Resolred, That until said assurance
be given, we recommend Messrs. Wa
sOn and Magill to maintain the stand
they have taken and not to participate
IN selecting a Senate, not known to be
in favor of u State Convention"
This meeting, it will be seen, chan
gss the condition precedent to the Is
going into the Electoral College, from
aVan Buren, Senate to a Senate ia
yorable 10 Reform'-orin other words,
to a Senate favorable to the passage
ola law authorizing the call of a Con-
vention TO amend the State Constitution
The, twenty-five electors a of course
enter into no pledges whatever. That
is entirely foreign to their duty ane
official character, and therefore out of
the question. But if the overture IS
made in good faith, we have no hest
iation in saying that the Wings Will
meet it in good faith in an individual
or collective character. A Reform
Senate is the thing wanted If that be
all, let the eighteen electors, or at
least, let the two from Washington
County, assume theii post in the Elec-
,oral College for they can hardly as
sist in the election of a Wing Senate
which will not be in favor of a Reform
IN our State government. We under,
take 10 say that the electors would hnd
some difficulty in choosing a Senate
from the more prominent materials
composing the Wing party, which
would be opposed to Reform. If reform
in good faith, is the word, let our friends
the Van Burenites avoid hereafter mix
ing up Van BureniSm with their efforts
and objects in that behalf; and we
venture to say that the whole body o
the Wing party will readily cooperate
and will in tact, yield precedence tc
none in that good cause.-Bah' RAJ

RECOMMENDATIONS.

The Journal Of Education, one Of the
most deservedIy celebrated literary pubca-
ions, says Of this work-"This is one Of the
most judicious and practical books for pri-
mary school, we have yet seen. The Geo:
graphical details are well selected, and the
chapter on natural history will furnish much
food for thought, and will aid the early Tor
nation OF good mental habits. The civil
history is sufficiently copious Tor the purpos-
es OF such volume, and the account OF the
hardships OF the early settlers is highly in
structivc and entertaining. Books, such as
this, contain the true elements oil enlighten-
ed patriotism, and possess a much higher
value than is apparent at first sight"
Zadoch Thompson, a. NJ says " / am
much pleased with the Geography and His
tory Of Vermont by the Rev. S. X. Hall
which you lately put into my hands. II is a

VHNIIE Subscribers hereby give notice Il

Greeting.
VHNIIE Subscribers hereby give notice that
N they have purchased OF Richald Pike,
OF Wilton, in the County OF Fairfield, and
State OF Connecticut, the exclusive right OF
using and vending his Patent Block, or
Machine for coIoring ard cooling hats, in
and throughout the States OF New IIamp-
shire and Vermont, during the term Of said
Patent.
The Block or Machine is an open Cylin-
der or framed hat block made OF wood or
metal. The cylinder is first made open,
and is simple cylinder frame. 1t can be
better used by covering it with a thin cover
Of wood or metal perforated with numerous
holes in such a manner that the air and the
colorlng matter can pass freely through the
hat and block, either when the hat is
immersed or exposed to the air to be cooled,
The advantage Of this framed or open block
above the solid one is, that either with, or
without the perforated covering, the liquor
and air pass more rapidly and freely through
the hat, so that the same is cooled and col
ored more thoroughly and quicker, in a
better manner and with less expense than
can be done on Tie solid blocks now used.
And the subscribers, from long expert
ence in the use OF said block or Machine,
do most confidently recon- mend it as great
anduseIul improvement. They will Sell
The same TO companies or individuals on
1eTy reasonable terms.

Il little Schhool Book entitled the
CHILD'S ASSISTANT,
to a knowledge OF the Geography and his
tory OF Vermont, by S. Il. Hall. 1t has al
ready passed through six large editions, and
is now offered Tor sale by the publishers,
with the belief that it is one Of the best ce-
mentary works ever put into the hands OF
children. The present system of putting a
child to study the Geography Of The Uortd,
before he can even bound his otUn torn or
county is certainly wrong. How many there
are who can answer almost any question
respecting the Geography OF the World and
are yet unable to give the boundaries OF the
County in which they live, much less OF the
several counties in the State and how many
have a a compend Of General History, while
they remain ignorant OF the History oil
their native State This book is intended to
supply this defect in the education Of the
children OF Vermont. A child should first
study the Geography and History OF lis
own Slate and then some elementary Geog
raphy OF the World: and next he may take
a larger Geography.
