T» MISfWXAKY. without any injury to the aerial tra-jadvnnce: at the same time »ie|>rudent- 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.

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 Excellent Horse BilV.EUt E, A beautiful chesnut sorrel, full five fret sis inches high, will stand the ensuing season, three days in each week, viz.

But from 1795 <o 1799 the English took many ships and frigates from the Dutch, and reduced their maritime power. By u comparison of their first resources, and the rapid accumulation of their forces, we may learn the rise of nati ons and the glory of patriotism was a thunder storm, with hail. The thermometer was at 18°, and the mer cury in the barometer, which at first sood at twenty seven inches six lines, rapidly fell 2 1-2 lines. VARIETIES, Literary and Philosophical. 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.” The thorough bred Stallion, EUYAA O’LYNN, (Imported by Governor Turner in the Jail of 1803, J WILL STAND the ensuing season at my stable in Greensborough, at Twenty Dollars the season, (to com inence the 1st of March and end the 1st of August)—notes for the season payable the 1st of December, to be sent with the mares; Thirty-five dollars to ensure a mare will be with foal ; should the property of any mare be changed, the insurance wil he demanded.
