M de Hamboit has discovered the exis tence of a curious analogy between the j d strtbution of the magnetic influence, ] and that of heat, so that he is able to , trace upon the chart of the globe, the | courses of each, by .the Hues which indi- , cate their relation and interests. These | lines sUbw that by the influence of these j great geologicd causes, the temperature ( varies in point* situated under the same ( parallel, and that it is the same in points differing in latitude. M. Humbolt has illustrated the laws of this diversity in a most luminous manner. ; % ’ September 17.

September 19. Mr. Tlrougham, <mo of the principal members of the Eriglish opposition, is now in Paris. The number of AVurtembergers who have embarked on the Dannbe. during the last summer, to establish themselves in. Russia, is stated at seven thousand*. His excellency the minister of the in terior has issued <ne following instruc tions to the national guard: 1- To dispense* during the elections with the services of all those be l onging to the national guird, who may be called upon to vote as electors, in order that nothing may prevent them From fulfilling their important duties. 2. To require of such electors as may belong to the national guard, not to appear in uniform nor even with arms, in an as sembly where they go to exercise their rights as citizens. 3. Lastly, specially to confide to the national guard the service of honour, and of external police of the electoral col leges, September 22. As early as eight on Saturday morn ing, the halls ol the respective sections were crowded with electors. AH the pop ular candidates were named on Saturday to fill the functions of secretaries or scru tators of the different sections, M. Thi ard and M. Lafayette excepted, these gentlemen not being electors of the de partment of the Seine, a quality indis pensable for their appointment to the el-, ectoral officei. I annex the list of the leading candi dates, subjoining the name of each under the political classification to which the public opinion annexes him: The return of Lafayette would be deeply regretted, for in fact lie can be of no real service to the party, possessing neither oratorical talents nor distinguish ed abilities; therefore, the choice of this veteran of the king and the royal family, could answer no purpose, save the grati fication of an amour prepre of the very worst description. * Ministerialist.* Independents Ultras Bnllarl or Liberals Carnet de la Breton ■( I afitte Bonmdlere 1 Roy ■ Lifayette Olivier II D.

Berlin, September 3. ► Ascertain degree of agitation manifests itself in this capital, as well as in some other cities of the monarchy.

The Henau Gazette, contains the fol lowing: “the tumult which took place at Breslan, according to an eye-witness, who has passed through this town, must have been much more serious than tjiV gazette* of Breslaw states. He says, that e assisted in dressing the wounded, and he assures that cannon were discharged under the windows, that indeed they had only tired blank cartridges in order, to terrify the multitude, but that the fire of the musketry did more mischief, as it wounded 260 persons and killed about 20.

The following letter is copied from the Philadelphia True American, in which paper it is spoken of as being semi official. V. .. . .A Extract of a letter from an officer of rank , dated Port au prince, June 25, 1817. “ You have doubtless heard of thea lat njing events which have recently ta ken place here, filling every breast with consternation,and every heart with fear. The events to which I allude, while they overwhelm us with affliction ibr the pre sent, furnish a lesson for the future, which will not, I trust, be altogether lost upon those who direct the helm of affairs. Fortunately for you the sagacions pru dence of your government preserves you from such catastrophies—and relieves you. peaceful citizens even from the ap prehension of danger by keeping its cau ses aloof. We, on the contrary, with an infatua ted credulity, admit the enemy into our hogom,and foster the very vipers which meditate our ruin. That tlie events of the 20th are the result 6f French perfi dy is what few, who are at all versed in the calamitous history of this ill-starred country, can doubt—they are worthy of the nation that doomed La Mahotiere to death, and violated, in the person of the mild, the virtuous and unsuspecting Toussaint Louvferture, the faith of trea ties and the rights of humanity.* But t 6 proceed to facts. i The evening of the 20tji was rendered conspicuous among the calamitous peri ods ot this dll-starred town, by an explo sion the most tremendous and the most disastrous ever witnessed here. The largest of opr powder magazines, con structed by the British, has been blown into the air with upwards of 100,000 pounds weight of powder. The sound of this tremendous explosion yet rings in rny ears, notwithstanding tlie time that has elapsed since it took place. The da mage done has been great and depforablc and the loss of life and limbs melancholy in the extreme, hardly a single house has escaped uninjured more or less. At first ft was supposed to have been the result of lightning, but an examination of the other magazine, which immediately took place, proved it to be the result of design, and probably counected with some deep laid plot against our liber ties, which time may enable us to dcvel-’ ope. What prevented the explosion of the other magazine we know not, since every thing W'as found prepared—the doors unlocked, trains laid, and match alone wanting. Fort Bizoten has shared the fate of the larger magazine, through the treachery of its commandant; who, after a vain endeavor to entice Petion, Boyer and Ingcrac into it, upon the pretence of a survey, finding his design suspected, blew up the fort with Ins own hands, and thus vainly endeavoured to bury tlie proofs of his treachery beneath the shattered ruins—but though his hated body has escaped the just vengeance of the insulted laws, his memory will be handed down to postesity, loaded with the cui'ses of his fellow-citizens, and gibetted for a terror to future traitors. With you I am confident but one o pinion can prevail as to tlie real source of tlieae calamitous events; the finger of French intrigue is too plainly legible; and the machinations of a Gallic cabinet actidg under the avowed influence of our implacable foes, the ex-colonists, are graven in characters too strong to be mistaken, upon the shattered relics of two of our most important fortresses. “Where will the folly and imbecility of ou r government end? When w ill the happiness and tranquility of our citizens be no more left at the mercy of the mul titude of intrigueing Frenchmen who in cessantly parade our streets, pry into oui* afiairs, and intermeddle in our po litics? * “ When will the white flag cease to insult ns in our harbors, and fill the bo soms of the’ patriots with ceaseless a iarras? Happy, thrice happy your fortu nate district, .where none of these cau ses of alarm prevail, but where a truly paternal government interposes its pro tecting arm, and blesses you with unin terrupted repose. “ When shall I behold the happy con summation of all ray hopes, in the firm and constituted onion of all Haytians under one chief, great, powerful and il lustrious. « But my friend who waits to take this letter, is impatient; and by becom ing needlessly prolix, I may endanger not merely the safety of my despatch, but of my life, such is the state of terror and suspicion in which we live. Auieu. Salute all ray friends/’ AUUUSTA.JvOV. 8. " Health of Charleston. We have been politely favored trill, the following extract from a 'Report ,/ the Board of Health, in Charleston tn the Hon. Intendant and City Council o ’ Augusta: “October 92d, lßir. “ CfENTtEMENt-.lt is with pleasure I have to state, that the Epidemic (yelinw fever) that has so unhappily prevailed here this summer,.is now nearly subsid ed. Our ‘ last week’s bill of mortality was only seven cases of yellow fever and 1 know of nonew case this week,ami I have every reason to conclude, in * week or two at most, it will be total!** extinct j and in no instance has it beety known, that any others but strangers have been subjects of this fever. I have the honor to be, &c. DANIEL STEVENS, Chairman Board of Health.” , “To the lion-Intendant and ") Members of the City Coun. V. \ cil of Augusta, Georgia.” J —<=»: O : «:» Several European articles of late date both politically and commercially inter* esting, will be found in our columns o to day. The following is said to be an effectual remedy for the Hydrophobia, nr bite of a mad dog. It was discovered in Gcrma ny, -where it has been used with invari ble s'uccess. The article is from the London Morning Chronicle, and is introduced in a manper that gives to it more than an air of Credibility. “ A valuable remedy against the bite of,adog.—-When a dog, oi other ag. imal is bitten by a mad dog, let the fol lowing be given him as soon as possible; brass filings, one drachm, with w hite bean mea! (calav anceries) in milk, or milk broath, well stirred together, 'jfhe beans arc to be burnt brown like coffee, and ground in a coffee-mill, or if finely bruised will do. This remedy requires no repetition, as experience has taught that it was al ways found to be sufficient security, as ■ a preventive, as none that were bitten, ever went mad after its use; a second portion therefore; was never required. : It shall also be as beneficial to mankind, by only giving the above mentioned ' quantity.” The far-fetched and distorted analo t gies of the Savannah Republican are still persisted in with pertinacious obstinacy. ' Among other precedents (as the Editors call them) to justify the United States in taking part with the revolted provinces i of Ferdinand, they noticed the conduct of the three Cantons of Switzerland, in the others to throw off the Aus trian yoker” Before this can be estab lished as a precedent to regulate the conduct of our government in the contest alluded to, we humbly conceive it be 1 - . comes necessary, fust to prove the. following positions, (as our logic teaches us that the premises are antecedent to the conclusion, and not vice versa) —That the character and customs of the Noith Americans are similar to those of the South—-that the polity of their respective governments have created such a reci procity of feeling between them, that a 1 : injury done the poorest citizen or su t ject of either country, is considered by the other as an “ insult upon its consti tution'”. This fraternity of feeling, springing from these native causes, existed among the people of Switzerland, and natuially inspired a sympathetic influence in their conduct to each other, which cannot possibly exist where such congeniality of character, genius and sentiment is wanting. It is true, indeed, that there was a Shade of difference in the systems of government obseVvcd by the Cantons —but not much more, comparatively •peaking, than exists, or did practice, between Massachusetts, dfc* and the more democratic States of our Union.. < As regards the conduct of Francs, du ring our memorab'c revolution, what rea sonable and reflecting mind can beheye that Louis w-as'actuated by the pure spi rit of philanthropy. It was a deside ratum in the polity of France, to crij»p* e as much as possible the naval and com mercial supremacy of her powerful rival. And what a golden .opportunity present ed itself in assisting ua to sever the d‘ al!l of colonial bondage. We have already noticed in a proper manner the legitimate policy which mo Republican would have our governmen pursue—it requires no farther e° ns: ' deration from us. In fine, we ardently hope, that such a paucity of governmen tal resources may never beiclt as w>i excite the Quixotic and ruinous pohey of going from home in quest of distress ed damsels, while our rights continue ; * be respected abroad. A chivalrous
