BALTIMORE, Jnue 13.
In this day’s Gazette our readers will hnd ma
ny important articles of intelligence. The whole
of, Europe now begins to feel what has hitherto
convulsed but a part of the continent. In the
north, we hnd the infatiabie Catharine dill thiril
ing for blood ; millions ot human beings are but
a ft mil facrifice at the altar of her ambition—both
Turkey and Sweden are now menaced by her
Myrmidons. In the heart of Europe, all prof
pe&s of pacification have entirely vanilhed—vaft
preparations are making, in every part, for a re
commencement of holtihties; and in all probabi
lity, the Rhine will not be the only river, thu
fu miner, tinged with human gore. The fouth of
Europe is (haken to its centre—even Genoa, who
has observed the molt Arid neutrality, is placed
in the molt perilous situation by the French and
Austrian armies --many ot her rich senators have
fi d, and with them taken all their valuable effe&s.
The rights of weak nations are two often trampled
on, when stronger powers ruth into the held and
spend their rage in battle.
In our weftern hemisphere affairs wear an ap
pearance no less warlike—-a burning fun and bloody
foil, this summer, in many oi the American
islands, will probably generate diseases which will
sweep off those unfortunate beings who may be
able to escape the less intolerable ravages of fire
and sword. Prudence more than human, it is to
be feared will be neceflary ro prevent the conta
gious effed of the one, or the political influence
ot the other, reaching our peaceful and happy
Ihores.

DIED.] On Tuefday the jth instant, at his
feat in Burke county, Joseph Watts, Esq. sincerely
and much lamented by his friends and acquaintance;
in life no man ever aded more the philanthroj hist;
his time devoted to the benefit and relief of the
fatherlefsand friendlefs ; in fad on this theatre, he
ever aded the part of the honest man.
CT Amicus tn our next.
We learn from good authority that there will
be no Indian treaty, and that the commilfioners on
the part of the'ftate have protested against the
proceedings of the commilfioners of the United
States ,—the misunderstanding which has prevail
ed from the commencement of the business, be
tween those who aded for the general govc rnment
and those who represented this state, is much to
be lamented ; but something of this nature has
been very generally anticipated from the politics
of one of our cctfimiflioners, whose influence over
the others is not inconsiderable, and whose fondnefs
for military parade and accommodating his friends
induced him to take a bodyguard with him, which,
not being perfedly confident with continen'al ar
rangements, were not permitted to appear in that
capacity on the treaty-ground ; and occasioned a
sourness and seclusion on the general’s part, which
may perhaps be found to have been the cause ol a
cessation of public negociation, and prove the sig
nal for Indian hostility.

Machine for cleaning cotton by Rollers.
THE fubferiber begs leave to inform the cotton
planters of Georgia and South-Carolina, that hi has
*conftrutled a machine for cleaning cotton by rollers,
which he will lay before the public, in the following
manner:
, Six rights or shares will be allowed for each coun
ty in this Jlatc and South-Carolina, at 60 dollars
per share ; as many persons as chafe may be con
cerned in a Jhurc, and the purchasers Jhall haw’ the
privilege of making as many as they think proper;
but all the machines belonging to a Jhare, mujl be
kept in one place only , and within the limits of the
county for which the share is taken. After thefirjl
of September a model of this machine may be seen
Fderjburg, and after the iz th of thefame month, at
Augufia. Three or four disinterested persons of re—
Jpedability Jhall be appointed, at both places, to
view the operation of the machine, and if they ad
judge it competent for cleaning cotton in the most
expeditious manner without injuring the Jlaple, the
purchasers mu ft pay the money before they can feeiu
d tas machine is easily cons rubied; any perfoit
knowing how to use common carpenter's tools, is ca
pable of doing the wood work, and almofl any jmitk
can, by having patterns, make the iron work with
case—the whole expense of making one is very trif
ling ; two or three ptrfons are jujfwiint for attend
ing one of any ftze.
