appearance by blisters qr tumors on
the flanks or hinder partofthe aidfcs,
and tb< n it spreads by degrees all o-
vrr. It is necessary trf separate the
infected from the sound, so that they
may neithcY lodge nor graze toge
ther ; for one sick sheep is enough
to infect all the rest. This disease
proceeds trom drinking standing wa
ter, and it is necessary to let it have
its course, taking care to examine
them often, and as soon as the pus
tules are broken tooint the same with
sweet oil.
10th. In the disorder called mo-
dor re?. (lethargy) they turn round as
they are grazing. This arises trom
blisters that -are forming in their
brain, and they turn on that side
where thsr.e pustules grow. Very
few recover from this disease,'which
is contagious for the others.—Some
get well by pricking with an awl the
affected part and drawing that water,
but they generally remain imperfect,
and it is better therefore to kill those
that have that disorder.
11th. Lameness—If it should hr
found that the foot is swollen and
that it has matter, the points of the
nails should be broken off until it
bleeds ; should it be perceived that
its per* (a small tuft of hair between
the two nails) is swollen, it should
be drawn out with a needle and cut
around with a knife, pulling until it
comer, out: by this means it will heal
much sooner than if itAverc hurst. *
12th. The hoi us of the rams are
cut off in Spain for two reasons ; the
first is to avoid tlu ir striking one ano
ther with them in the season of gen
erating ; and the second is that it
may serve them instead of bleeding
in the spring, at which season it is
executed, choosing fair and warm
weather for the operation. This is
the manner in which it is done «—A
hole is made in the ground, the ram
is put in it with his legs upwards,
and a board on his head to which the
horn is well tilted ; then a knife
mode lor that purpose is fixed against
the horn level with the head, and is
cut off with two blows struck with a
hammer. This operation is perform
ed every year with only those that arc
prefered for propagation, and are dis
tinguished by the name of Moruc-
eos, (arm, or male sheep.)
13til. It is customary in Spain to
allow two ewes to one lamb, that they'
may soon get strong and be able to
resist the inclemencies of the wea
ther, and it should be studied that
they come into the world in a fine
season ; they ought to have a dry
litter, and when they are turned out
to graze, it should be in a sunny place
free from any water. The disorders
to which the lambs arc liable are the
following :—The I.ohtnillo (wen,
ganglion) in which their kidneys
swell. The AmarUla (Jaundice) in
which their flesh and bones turn of
the color of yellow wax ; this disor
der is infectious ; throwing a small
quantity of Tereist v (flax-leaved da
phne, tlaphane guidium) is good for
this complaint. The Covtico (curb)
they are lame in their feet ; if these
Gtiould swell, it is good to oint them
with juniper or sweet oil.—AU these
three disorders proceed from damp
anil wet weather .when they arc-
brought forth ; and arc besides sub
ject to all the complaints of the ewes,
for which the s:u\k remedies afore-
Btated must be observed.
14th. The tails ut these sheep are
cut off", because it is the custom, and
because il they should have the dis
order called GJnunberga (diarrhici)
the dirt they would collect in the wool
of the tail would be considerable,
an^l would certainly spoil the remain
der with it.—This operation is per
formed when they are two months
old, with a very sharp knife, cutting,
away the wool around it with a pair
of scissors to prevent its sticking to
th e wound, choosing for this purpose !
warm and fine weather.
It is very necessary and advantage
ous to observe attentively all the
things afore stated, if one wishes to
avoid considerable losses in this kind
of sheep.
God preserve you many years.

The proclamation of the President
must relieve the public mind from
much of the solicitude which it lias
for some time past felt—It annouces
the important fact, officially ascer
tained, that “ the edicts of France,
Violating the neutral commerce ol
the United States have been so re
voked as to cease to have effect,” and
In virtue of the unqualified directions
of an of Congress^ declares all
existing restrictions on the commerce
and vessels of Prance and her depen
dencies removed—As however, no
restriction exists with regard to
Prance, except t|ie exclusion of her
armed vessels from our ports, the
principal effect produced will be :n
our favor by the revocation of her
decrees, by which we shall be permit
ted to carry on our trade without any
other annoyance from her than is
authorised by the established laws
and usages of nations. It is scarce
ly necessary to remark, the Presi
dent, in this Proclamation, has strict
ly and literally pursued the track
marked out by Congress, having
merely discharged a ministerial trust.
A feeble stand has indeed been made
by a few partizans, who have conten
ded that so long as the Government
of France retained the sequestered
property of our merchants, she evin
ced an indisposition “ to Cease to vi
olate the neutral commerce of the li
nked States.” But, admitting the
fact, and concurring tally in the sen
timent that while she does retain that
property she continues to commit a
flagrant injustice, docs it prove, in the
very face of a solemn official declara
tion, that she will not hereafter change
her course, when she explicitly says
that she will ? The seizure and se
questration of our property, although
it is highly reprehensible, and will
unquestionably present a solemn|point
of discus; ion on our part, were long
anterior to the declaration revoking
her edicts ; and these very acts, so
flagrantly in violation of our neutral
commerce, fire those among others,
which by her declaration she pledges
herself to cease committing. If, al
ter her declaration, she had conti
nued to seize and'Sequesier our pro
perty, a correct suspicion would have
been excited, and it might well have
been doubted whether she would have
carried her promises into effect.—
But she is not charged with an)- such
conduct. It has, moreover, been
seen that the terms of the act of Con
gress are broad and imperative—
looking entirely to the future, and
not clogging any arrangements calcu
lated to secure a respect for our rights
hereafter, by any past conduct, how
ever atrocious. On this head, there
fore, the President, being vested
with no discretion, could exercise
none.
There is another question, one
perfectly distinct, which it may re
main hereafter to settle with the
French Government. By her rescind
ing her edicts and our withdrawing
our restrictions, the question of se
questered property* is not put to rest.
It will still remain in its full force,
and our claims on her justice and
honor will bo unabated. May they
not, indeed he strengthened ?
The circular of the Secretary of the
Treasury, discloses the next step ta
ken in this interesting concern. It
declares the state of things, which will
three months hence exist with regard
to Great Britain, in case she “ shall
not have revoked or modified in like
manner her edicts violating the neu
tral commerce of the U. States” ac
cording to the same net of Congress
which prohibits “ both the entrance
of British vessels of every descripti
on into the harbors and waters of the
U. Stales, anti the importation into
the U. States of any articles the
growth, produce or manufacture of
the dominions, colonies and depen
dencies of Great Britain, and of any
articles whatever bro’t from the said
dominions, colonics and dependen
cies.”
This was a result too important to
he passed ovt r in silence by a Govern
ment instituted for the protection of
its citizens in all their lawful pur
suits. As so large a portion of our
ordinary trade is carried on with G.
Britain and her dependencies, it was
proper that whatever went to sus
pend it should be clearly stated, that
every doubt on this head might be
removed. Prompt as this notice is,
it will barely afford time for the mer
chants to give the requisite instruc
tions to their agents in Englavd,
and to die merchants in F.ngland to
avoid the penalty attached to an in
fraction of our laws,incase she shall
not revoke her orders. This official
notification was further important, as
it announced to G. Britain and France
the detccpiiuation of the Executive
to carry the act of Congress, with
scrupulous good faith into effect. To
the f ormer it carries a serious appeal,
claiming the same respect for our
neutral rights as we had experienced
from her enemy ; while to the latter
it is proof of our rigid impartiality. Sc
put pose to act towards her as we did
to her enemy, under circumstances
m some measure atulagous.
Thus has file present Chief Ma
gistrate, in the short period of 18
months, had an opportunity, by. the
most emphatic and striking displays
of impartiality, to shew his unbias
ed and inflexible regard tor justice
towards the two collossal powers,
whose deadly feuds so deeply disturb
the repose of the world. In the ar
rangement with Mr. Erskine, this
disposition was shewn towards G.
Britain—-it is now similarly exhibit
ed towards France. The same
measure that was dealt out to one is
now extended to the other. Men,
who are not the veriest slaves ol par
ty, must approve in this last instance
what they so warmly applSuded in
the former.
YV'ill England follow the example
thus happily s..tby France ? If she
has a regard lor her character, for her
word, or for her interest, she must.
Her character calls upon her to de
fend, - instead of oppressing neutral
rights her word has been repeat
edly pledged to rescind or revoke
her edicts violating our neutral rights
as soon as France revoked hers—and
her interests require her to maintain
a good understanding with her best
customer. These considerations
ought to influence her. YVe cherish
the hope that they will But they
may not She may mistake her in
terests, and in her ill founded hopes
and calculations, too little regard her
character and word, which may he
sacrificed again or. the altar of false
necessity. Under the uncertainty
which hangs on the future, our
course is fortunately obvious. Let
us value her good will, and by all
proper means cultivate it—but let us
value justice still more, and be pre
pared, with alacrity and vigor, to as
sert our rights against all aggressions
upon them, let them come from what
quarter they may.— Nat. hit.
LONDON October 3.
German papers have arrived to the
23d tilt. They talk of a triple alli
ance between the three great pow
ers. This would seem to shew that
there is no foundation for the ru
mor* of a misunderstanding between
France and Russia, because what o-
ther powers can be meant than
France, Russia and Austria ? The
plan of a triple alliance, however, is
not mentioned in a very positive mau-
ner.
All the accounts from Turkey re
present the government and the peo
ple as animated by one spirit against
their invaders.—Courier.
The accounts from Cadiz by the
last mail state, that the Regency, in
consequence of authentic information
respecting the strength and condition
of the French force before the Isle
of Leon, had determined on offen
sive operations, and that in a short
time a vigorous sortie would be
made.
From Caen, of the 20th ult. we
near that the Decree lor restraining
the ingress and egress of foreigners,
is not near so severe as it was at first
reported. Passengers were allowed
to remain at the port at which they
land, under bail of two respectable
merchants until their passports are
arrived from Paris, provided they
have given notice, bv letter, of their
arrival. Passports to leave France
are granted without much trouble,
under the same kind of security ; but
the want ol these formalities, subjects
the cargo of the \ esscl to confiscati
on ; and this is the utmost extent of
the penalty.
The accounts from the north of
Europe are of a very interesting na
ture : the intention of Bonaparte to
get into his possession, by some
means or other, all the ports in the
Baltic, is so notorious, that it has ex
cited great uneasiness in the Courts
of Petersburg and Copenhagen'; and
wid in all probability effect a change
in the politics of those Courts. That
the latter of those Courts had refus
ed to comply with Bonaparte’s de
mand of occupying Zealand with
J0,(X)0 men there is no doubt ; but
whether it will have the firmness or
whether it has the power to resist
that demand hy force is a queflion which
we have not the meant of anfWering. The
military force of Denmark hat been rflima-
ted at 50 000 men j thit ultimate it we are
coii^ced, much higher than the actual
force; but even admitting it to be correct.it
would be quite infuflicient to protect the
Continental Dominions of Denmark. We
trull however, that the Roflrin Government
will feel the necellity of making tome efforts
to prtferve the North of Europe from fall,
ing entirely under I be vaffalagc pf Bona
parte; after what we have;feen, however,
we do not like to iudnlge any very fanguine
(peculations.

Yesterday we received Paris pa
pers to the 30th lilt. They contain
no intelligence from the Peninsula,
and the accounts, trom other places
are not of very' prominent interest.
The Porte has published two more
bulletins, containing the particulars
of a fresh defeat of the Russians be
fore Rudschutk, and the expulsion
of Czerni George, the Servian Chief,
from an entrenched camp He nad
formed in the neighborhood of Nis-
sa. The last of these events must
have an important influence on the
future operations of the Russian Ge
neral, who expected much from a di
version on the part of tiie Servians.
The failure of this part ol the plan,
in addition to the wat with Persia
in which the Russians are stated to
have experienced considerable re
verses, it is not improbable may in
duce the emperor Alexander to re
nounce, for tile present, his ambitious
projects against the Porte, and repass
the Danube. He will have reason
to esteem himself fortunate if he is
able to retain Moldavia and Walla-i
chi a.
The Moniteur of the 29th is near
ly filled with the text of two Edicts
relating to the Austrian Finances.
YVe have given the substance of them
from a minor journal. Whatever
may be the merit or ultimate suc
cess of these plans, they do not ap
pear to have created much confidence
in the class of persons who manage
the ordinary monied transactions of
that country.
The navy of France is at length
obtaining some portion of that favor
which Bonaparte lias hitherto almost
exclusively bestowed on the army.
Two schools for the instruction of
youths intended for the naval profes
sion are ordered to he immediately
formed at the ports of Brest and
Toulon. The acknowledged skill
and ability of the officers of the French
navy, previous to the revolution,
were principally derived from their
being brought up in a similar insti
tution.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 10.
Summary of Events.—-I lie Turks,
it appears have defeated the Russians
before Schumla, and it becomes very
probable, owing to the enthusiasm
which has been excited in the empire
to resist the invaders, that the Rus
sians have reached the limit of their
successes.
Much uneasiness it is strongly re
ported, prevails in the cabinets of
Denmark and Russia, owing to the
dcvelopement of the designs of
France upon the coasts of the Bal-
tick.—-Since the express wish of Bo
naparte to occupy the island of Zea
land with French troops, their suspi
cions will naturally be increased.
We shall, however, reserve our re
marks until the intelligence from
that quarter receives a more explicit
and authentick form.
On Saturday we received a letter
from Heligoland, by the St. Peter,
Hall, arrived at Yarmouth, covering
H.unourg and Alton* papers to the
27th ult. Trieir contents are oftmich
interest, and strengthen the opinion
we have before expressed, that the
political connection between the em
perors ol France and Russia is rapid
ly drawing to a conclusion. The
crisis so important to the interests
oi Europe, is probably only retarded
by the unlooked lor procrastination
ot the war in the Peninsula. It will
be fortunate for the Northern Auto
crat il he takes advantage of this de
lay to prepare for the impending
storm.
In the last advices from South-A-
merica are some interesting articles
Iroiti Buenos Ayres, on the state of
the trade in that quarter. The cor
respondence. arose out of the seizure
and confiscation of a British vessel
called die Jane, and an attempt to
seize another called the Juliet, which
was prevented by capt. Ramsay’s,
sending a party ol marines on Iniard^
Both vessels were ol course, charg
ed with being concerned in an illicit
trade.
