That great objects are effected h\
perseverance and industry, an well
by nations as individuals, we learn
from the Dutch.
As early as in 1584, they could com
mand only 3000 infantry, and 2500
Cavalry, against an army of much
greater force actually in their coun
try. But in 1587 they had near
ly 20,000 in the field, besides a grea
ter number in their fortifications.
In 1602 they could reckon 18,000
infantry and 5000cavalry, exclusive
ly of ail their troops in the garrisons.
In 1609 they had in actual service
upon their muster rolls 42,000 infan
try and 4(>00 cavalry, and in 1622
could command a force of 120,000.
In 1649 the army of the States con
tained 53,000 infantry and nearly
7000 cavalry, and were aide on the
pence establishment to command
84,000 infantry and above 4000 ca
valry. At the peace of Brids in 1667,
they had 23,(KX) in their army, from
their force of45,000, when they could
command 69,(XX). In 1713theyhad
'75,(XX), and even 60,000 in pay, and
120,000, and at the peace of Utrcch
could retain an army of 40,(XX). In
1736 the army was at 42,(XX), and in
1770 the army had 3456 cavalry, and
32,825 infantry ; giving an army ex
ceeding 36,000. In 1794, in the
war with the French republic, the
States with their allies had an army
of 60,000, in which the Dutch sup
plied nearly 4(XX) cavalry and above
36,(xX) infantry, at the expence of 13
millions of Guilders, and the whole
expence of the States exceeded 17
millions, or 6 millions of dollars. In
1803 they had 12,000 troops, which
cost 2 millions of dollars, and at pre
sent they act in concert with the
French nation. The progress of
their marine power has rendered the
Dutch more glorious than their ar
mies. In 1599 under Vandeesthey
had a fleet of 70 sail. In 1623 un
der admiral Stein they had 35 ships
of the line with 5 yatches and 5 fri
gates in one fleet and 31 ships of the
line in anothtr fleet. Under admi
ral Tromp in 1652‘they had 65 ships
of the line. In 1665 they had above
an hundred ships, and after all their
losses at the close of the same year
they could command 63 ships, be
sides a countless number of smaller
vellers.
The subterraneous passage by
which the Roman F.mperors went
privately from the Palace of the Cse-
sars, on Mount Cielius, at Rome, to
the Flavian amphitheatre, has been
lately discovered. From it have
been taken a number of architectural
fragments, capitals, cornices, and
vases, proofs of the splendor of its
decorations. Some fine torses have
also been found, and a head of Mer
cury, which have belonged to the
statue formerly in the garden ot the
Pope, and now in the Chiaramonti
Museum. Several pipes and gutters
for cairving off water were also dis
covered and twenty rooms of very
small dimensions, and lighted only
from the top.—These are presumed
to be the forniccs, so frequently men
tioned by Martial, Seneca, and Ju
venal.
Mr. Lambert, who lately travel
led through Lower Canada, and the
United States, has begun to print an
account of hs observations on the
present state of those interesting
Countries. His work will make thret
volumes octavo, & will be illustrated
with a variety of engravings, from
drawings made on the spot.
In the evening of the 26th of June,
a terrestrial waterspout appeared a-
bout a league south-east of Carmag
nole, in the department of the Po.
The weather was stormy. The cloud
which gave rise to this meteor, was
greyish, and not very large ; but it
began to lengthen on one side, form
ing as it were, a very sharp tail, which
approached the earth in a serpentine
line. The cloud had then the shape
of a reversed cone, part of which c-
mitted a very perceptible yellowish
light; this cone, about half way be
tween the summit and base, might hi
eight or nine yards in circumference
As it approached the earth, a kinc
of cloud that looked like smoke, hav
ing also the appearance of a kind ot
cone, was formed, and its summi
advanced towards the water-spout
The duration of this meteor was
twenty minutes, during which it tra
versed a space of more than eight
hundred yards, and then descended
in a deluge of water. In its way, it
everthrew a young oak, and stripped
the bark from a mulberry tree, the
roots of which ware almost entirely
laid bare, by the removal of the earth
which covered them. The bark was
lly withdrew from the centre to th
‘rear. 'The van, consisting of 4,(XX
Bavarians, had just stormed a deep
ravine, when we again heavd halloo U
over our heads, Hans ! for the Holy
Trinity 1 Our terror was complete
by the* reply that immediately follow-

Were in their full glory. De Ruiter reduced to a dry, whitish, and almost
minute had elapsed, were thousands
of my comrades in arms crushed, bu
ried, and overwhelmed, by an incre
dible heap of broken rocks, stones
and trees, Furled down upon us. All
of us were petrified. Every one fled
that could ; but a shower of balls
from the Tyrolese, who now rushed
from the surrounding mountains, in
immense numbers, and among them
boys and girls of 10 & 12 years of age,
killed or wounded a great many ot
us. It was not till we had got these fa
tal mountains six leagues behind us,
that we were reassembled by the
duke, and formed into six columns,
Soon after, the Tyrolese appeared,
headed by Hoscr, the innkeeper.—
After a short address from him, they
gave a general lire, flung their rifles
aside, andrushed upon our bayonets
with their clenched fists. Nothing
could stand their impetuosity* They
' darted at our feet, threw or pulled
us down, strangled us, wrenched the
arms from our hands, and like enra
ged lions killed all—French, Bava
rian^ and Saxons, that did not cry
for quarters ! by doing so, I, with
300 men, was spared, and set at li
berty.
“ When all lay dead around, and
the victory was completed, the Ty
rolese, as if moved by one impulse,
fell upon their knees and poured
forth the emotions of their hearts
in prayer, under the canopy of Hea
ven; a scene so awfully solemn, that
it will ever be present to remem
brance. I joined in the devotion,
and never in my life did I pray more
fervently.”

THE TYROLESE.
A gentleman supping at an inn in
a small borough-town, when the cloth
was removed, the landlord enquired
how he liked his fare ?—■“ Extreme
ly well,” said the gentleman, “ I have
Supped as well as any man in the
kingdom.”——“ Except Mr. May
or,” said the landlord. “ I except
nobody,” said the gentleman. “ You
must,” says the landlord—“ I will
not,” says the gentleman. In short
the dispute grew so high, that the
landlord (who was a subaltern ma
gistrate, but neither a Solon or Ly
curgus) took the gentleman before the
Mayor. The magistrate, whose un
derstanding was in exact equilibrio
with that of the landlord, gravely told
the gentleman, “that the custom of ex
cepting Mr. Mayor, had obtained
in that place time out of mind ; that
every one was obliged to conform to
it; and that he fined him a shilling
for refusing.” “ Very well,” replied
the gentleman, “ there is the shilling,
but may I be d d, if that fellow
who brought me here, is not the great
est fool in Christendom, except you,
Mr. Mayor.”
