embark at that place without passports. They
had been condemned to six months imprison

The drought continues to afflict the country in
the south of France. Independently of the fruits, ‘
in which the crops are almost entirely destroyed,
the vineyards and the meadows have suffered
great injury, In many of the middle parts, pub

The king of the Netherlands is arrived at
Brussels, from his journey in Holland.
1 London, May s.—Another arrest has taken
place at Paris, which is apparently connected
with that of Madame Regnau It de St Angely.—
The person thus arrested is a man of the name of
Olville : Ijc is a glass manufacturer, and cousin to
Bonaparte. The Parisian journalists, profess to
have no knowledge of the occasion of these ar
rests ; but from the political relationship of the
is every probability that it relates
to u plot of some kind in favor of Napoleon.—
The Paris Journal den Debates, quotes from an
other paper the intelligence that the Pope is seri

Latest from Africa. —The brig Traveller,
Stevens, lately arrived at Gloucester from Gam
bia, which place she left May “8. Capt. Driscol,
of the Traveller, died on the voyage. In answer
to inquiries mlide to Capt. Stevens, vve learn, that
all he knows of the African expedition is, that
Major Peddse is dead, and it reported that
Capt. Campbell was also—but no certainty of it.
Capt. Driscol carried a part of the expedition
from Senegal to Rio Nonas. He says that tw 0
vessels (supposed to be connected with the expe
dition,) arrived off Senegal, and proceeded to Ice
ward, one commanded by Capt. Young, and the
other by Capt. Morgan. Capt. Stevens beingsick
himself, as well as all the crew, he was unable to
get any news or information of any importance.”
Our latest previous information from this quarter
was only to December last.
From the New York National Advocate, July 1.
The Ottoman Porte is extremely active in her
military department. New corps of jannisarie3
are organizing, and the fortifications of the Dar
danelles, and those .p the Asiatic coast, on Ihe
Black Sea, are put in the best possible state of de
fence.
These preparations seem to fear an attack from
Russia, which sooner or later will be made. The
Turkish government, in expectation of such an
event, is constantly on tlie the alert, and to cre
ate a counteracting influence, propositions of al
liance have been made to the British government
—the ministry, however, who keep their eyes on
the main chance, and profit by approaching diffi
culties, have, as preliminary to such an alliance,
obtained possession of Parga, a strong fortified
place, and doubtless will obtain a recognition of
the transfer of the lonian Islands, made by the
C ongress of Vienna. But after all these dispo
sitions, we are at a loss to conceive what assist
ance Great Britain can render to Turkey against
Russia. The great continental peace will cer
tainly not be infringed to preserve the possessions
of Turkey in Europe, and as the attack will be
made from Poland and the Crimea, if nmde at all,
Turkey will have to fight her battles without al
lies. Austria is worn out, and has neither power
or resources to check the rapid strides of Russia.
While affairs remain so unsettled on the conti
nent, the conquest of European Turkey will not
be an easy task.

tration* vve are fully persuaded that you will al
ways keep steadily in view the great interests of
literature and science, as inseparably identified
with the honor, the glory, and the prosperity of
our country.”
To which the President made an extempore re
ply, as nearly as we can remember, in the fol
lowing language:
O OO
u Sir—l cannot express the sensibility I feel
upon this occasion.
“ The high honor thus unanimously conferred,
by the members of this respectable institution,
will ever be cherished by me with grateful recol
lection ; norcan Ibe insensible to the flattering

The Patriots are gaining ground, having ta

which I presume has already readied you,) where
agrgat quantity of valuable property was found,
consisting of treasure and the produce of the
country. It appears the capture of the latter
place cost the Royalists 800 killed, and a like
number prisoners. This, information was receiv

From the National Intelligencer, June 50.
The emigrations to the west, at this time, far
exceed those of any former period. The state of
Indiana, and the Illinois and Missouri territo
ries, receive the greater part of those enterpri
zing adventurers ; to whom, and to whose friends
it may not be uninteresting to learn, that the fol
lowing military posts are occupied, and garrison
ed by the army on that frontier, viz.
Fort Harrison, on the Wabash, about 70 miles
above Vincennes.
Fort Clark, on the Illinois, 250 miles above the
mouth of the Missouri.
Belle Fontaine, on the Missouri, 15 miles
above St. Louis.
Fort Osage, on the Missouri, SCO miles above
its mouth.
Fort Edwards, on the Mississippi, 220 miles
above the mouth of Missouri.
Fort Armstrong, on the Mississippi, 420 miles
above the mouth of Missouri. *.
Fort Crawford, at Prairie du Chien, on the
Mississippi, 600 miles above the mouth of Mis
souri, ami is the advanced post connecting the
Mississippi with the lakes, between which and
the posts at Greenbay on lake Michigan, there is
not more than three miles land transportation.
On the upper lakes, above Detroit, there are at
present but three military posts, viz. at Macki
naw, at Greenbay, and at Chicago, the southern
part of lake Michigan.
Another military post is deemed important at
the falls of St. Mary’s between lakes Huron and
Superior; this would interrupt the smugglers,
and afford additional security to that frontier.—
We presume this point will attract the attention
of government as soon as troops can be spared to
form a garrison.
This chain of centinels will then afford pro
tection to a vast and valuable territory, every
day becoming mot e important by the rapid in
crease of its population.
Between our advance post, Natchitoches on
Red river, in Louisiana, and the Spanish Patriot
post of Nacogdoches, in the province of Texas,
the distance does m*t exceed eighty miles.
It is said anew post is shortly to be establish
ed on the Arkansas, near where the Osage line
strikes that river,
II the peace establishment of or arovy would
warrant the government in encreasir.g the tim
ber and strength of the frontier garrisons, bene
ficial results might be expected in keeping#!e In
dians quiet, and affording security to our new and
flourishing settlements. ~
Artificial Congelation. —We understand that
Professor Leslie has very lately made an import
ant addition to his curious and beautiful dis
covery of artificial congelation, lie had found
by his early experiments, that decayed whin
stone, or friable mould, reduced to a gross powder
and dried thoroughly, will exert a powder of ab
sorbing moisture, scarcely inferior to sulphuric a
cid itself, nut circumstances having latolv drawn
his attention to this subject, he caused some
mouldering fragments of porphyritic trap, gather
ed from the sides of the magnificent road now
forming round Carlton-llill, to be pounded and
dried caret ally before the fire of a bachelor’s oven.
Phis powder being thrown into a wine decanter
fitted with a glass stopper, was afterwards carried
to the College; and at a lecture a few days since,
in the Natural Philosophy class, (which he had
been teaching this session, in the absence of Pro
fessor l lay fair in Italy) he showed the influence
ot its absorbing powder on his hydrometer which,
inclosed within a small receiver of an air pump,
tell from 90 degrees to 320 degrees, the wetted
bubbling, cooled about 50 degrees of Fahrenheit’s
scale. The Professor, therefore proposed on
the instant, to employ the powder to freeze u
small body of water. He poured the pow der in
to a saucer, about seven inches wide, and placed
a shallow cup of porous earthen-ware, 3 inches
in diameter, at the height of half an inch above,
and covered the whole with a low receiver. On
exhausting this receiver till the gage slood at 2-
lOths of an inch, the water in a few minutes ran
into a cake of ice. With the same powder, an
hour aftewards, he froze a large body of water in
three minutes ; and he w ill no doubt, push these
ingenious and interesting experiments much
further. It appears that such earth will absorb
tlm hundredth part ot its weight of moisture with
out having its powder sensililr impaired ; and i
even capable ol absorbing as much as the tenth
part. It can hence easily be made to freeze the
eighth part ol its weight of water, and might even
repeat the process again. In hot countries, the
powder will, after each process, recover its power
by drving in the sun.—lce may therefore be pro
cured in the tropical climates, and even at sen,
with very little trouble, and 110 sort of risk or in
convenience. Loudon pa-
