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. (Signed) Philip l3r. castro, A native of the mountains of Leon in Spain. 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. October 9. 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. 1 he German papers fry, the reigning Prince ot Lighienstein has refigned his government of Auttria and Vienna. It is fuppoiVd that Prince Scbwarzenberg, the prefect AmbalTudor at Paris, will fucceed him.
