ing extract. “We fear UU true that amongat
otbera, the grant of landi in Florida made by the
King of Spain to the Duke of Alagon, haa not
been annulled by the operation of the Treaty.—
Serenl tsHfiona of acrea of land, of the avenge
value of al leaat fifty eaeta foe acre, were ceded
to that nobleman by the King, at the time when he.
wai Supreme Lord of Spain The grant, accot
ding to received end established principles of law
was irrevocable, and it could not be recalled by
the King. It Seated in the Duke of Alagon an ab-
white and indefeasible estate, and the Ring could
nerer, under any pretence, declare it to be void.
Ur? Adams ought to have been aware of this ina
bility of the King to take from the Duke hi* vea
ted rights. Hit Catholic Majesty might with e,
qual propriety plunder hia Grace’s dwelling, and
present his effects aa a royal present to our ambas
aador. Such a principle can never be recognix
ed here, and itis obvious that since the cession of
the Florida., the Duke of Alagon, and those de
living their title from him, have e valid claim on
oar government for the landa presented to him by
the King. Mr. Adame therefore should not have
been satisfied with the annulment of ibe grant by
the King—he should have insisted on a relinquish ',
ment from Ibe Duke himself. In accepting the
Floridas without such relinquishment from the
Duke, he accepted it subject to hia claim. The
United States have therefore been deprived of an
interest in the toil of Florida, of the value of spme
milliona of dollars”
The principle on.which this opinion ia founded
appears to be incontrovertible, otherw% the so.
entity of title would be as unstable aa the tenure

Gamritmuw—You will perhaps expect me tu
give in my cummunicat.oii* some account of .thi
ol fie rent classes of people in these countries. It
"i.be difficult to give a full and accurate de.
ion of any one class, without having a iho.
. _,lknowiedge of their language and being a
long Dme among them. There are however,
aofoe things so obvious that one feels no heaita-
tlon 111 stating them, while much of the chancier
and cuatoma of the same people remains un
known. So much lias been written and said con.
cerning Mohommcdans and their religion that 1
am not at liberty perhaps to aay any thing widen
has not already been said. 1 hope however, the
present letter will not be wholly uninteresting to
you, if 1 fill it up with such observations as have
occurred to me while reading the history and ob.
serving the cuatoma of the follow en of the Ara-
bian impostor.
My frit remark is that Islamists, when compor.
ed with the religion of the Arabs who preceded
it, has several advantages. It consists in (he wor-
ship of one God in opposition to idolatry. It a-
boliahea (be sacrifice of children. It acknowl
edges a considerable part of the historical facta
contained in the Bible. It acknowedgea Moses
and Jesus as true prophets sent from God, and it
gives some sublime descriptions of the Divine
attributes. It is probable that many Christian wri.
tera have in this view caat more blame on Moltom.
med than lie deserved. Though he cannot be
too severely condemned for his impipus preten
sions to divine inspiration, yet considered merely
as a law giver and the lounder of a sect, he de
servfca certainly to be regarded on several ac-
counts as a reformer. I would apply this term to
him principally, because he destroyed idolatry
and abolished human sacrifices. After all, there
is, I apprehend, serious reason to tear that his fol
lowers are notin reality ,ny more likely to em
brace the gospel, than if they bad remained I’a
gans. They, have renounced some of their errors,
but perhaps are more strongly fortified in the
rest-
It- as often been said that the Korin and the
religion of Hohommed discourage learning.—
This will appear on a careful examination to be
inc irrect. The Koran, I think, says nothing a-
gainst the cultivation of the arts and sciences.—
The caliphs of the house of Abbas at Bagdad and
after them the caliphs at Cairo, were eminent pa
trons of learning. In their time, while Christen
dom was sunk in tho ignorance of the dark ages,
the Mussulmen were the principal promoters of
literature It is true that tince the prevalence
of the Ottoman power the arts and sciences have
not flourished nor been encouraged within the
Turkish dominions. Hut this is owing i appro-
nend rather to the peculiar genius of the Turks,
and the nature of their government, than to any
principle in their religion. Still the spirit uf dcs
p -tism and terror which reign throughout the
whole system of the Mussulman religion, must
certainly be very unfavorable to the progress of
letters. Though I do not think therefore that
the religion of Mohommed forbids or directly
discourages learning, yet such is the nature of
this religion that it can afford little or no encour
agement and must be on the whole unfavorable.
Witnin a tew years many travellers have un
dertsken to represent the character of the Turke
in i very lavorable point of vieaf. 1 find it a litli,
difficult to account for this fact. Probably it isoc
c isioned in diifereot instance? by different c.uses.
The infidel is generally disposed to view lavora
lily and to represent in as favorable a light as pos
sible the character and effects of a felse religion,
tu order thereby to disparage the value of the
'rue. Hence lies qulofeiums on the morality of
Hindoos Turks and Savages. The man who ex
amines subjects superficially, has read- perhaps
some accounts of Mussulmen which fill his mind
with such ideas that he fancies hia fife- would
scarcely be safe among them for a single day. He
goes among them when all it tranquil and finds
himself safe and quiet, and ia perhapi treated
with kindnetatnd hospitality. He judges of their
whole character from what he sees, and repo
them a remarkably quiet, civir.hoapiubleaml ir
‘ people. Another in pissing through Turkey
Kgypt finds to much less danger, and expert-
er.ces so. much less of insult and abusethan lie had
bech taught tn expect, that partiality.aucceeda to
prejudice,and in combatting what he Conceives to
oc unreasonable prejudice,lie comes ihsensibly to
takti the Mussulm. n’t part, and instead oi discri
minating between hfa vices and virtues, he over,
looks foe one and exaggerates the other.' Itia a
fact worthy of notice, that a great part of the Bu.
ropean merchants who reside among the Turks
»ml deal with them, apeak lightly in their favor.
It is true tome'of them give a very different tes
timony, yet I think there is evidence that the

From South America—By an arrival st New
York, accounts have been received from Lima to
the 1st of May, from Santiago de Chili to the
8th of April, and from Valparaiso to the 5th of
April, inclusive. We subjoin a summary of their
contents.
Lima.—Jose Tagle vrss elected by the Con
gress, President pro em on the 27lh of February,
but inconsequence of the disaffection of Santa
Cruz and a few others, he wu» removed the fob
lowing day, and Kivaquera appointed in his place.
Although Santa Cruz h »d disclaimed any disrea-
icct to the Legislative body, yet he caused his
troops to be marched into the city to enforce hit
views. Bolivar’s assistance and that of Chili had
been solicited, without which it was supposed
they would make no eflectu.il resistance
Despatches from Col. Miller at K uremedios, re
present him in a dangerous situation,'as the move
ments of the Royalists lelt him but little hope of
eicapi;.g.
Sahtiaoo.—The Deputies from Conceptions
Coquimbo and Santiago, have met in the city and
appointed Sr. Ramon de Freire, Director. The
Peruvian Deputy Larrea had arrived at Santiago
from Callao, for the purpose of procuring assis
lance, and it was said 4U00 men were about em
barking for Bntremedio* A town and fortress
on the frontiers of Conception, called Tacapili,
bad been taken by the Royalists and the Governor
murdered
Government had decided on accepting the loan
from England, and one million had been set apart
for fitting out the expedition for the assistance o:
Peru, their deputy having become responsible
for its repayment, as well as the disbursing of all
other expense* that might be incurred*
Yaltara™-) —It wna the general opinion at
Valparaiso that political matters were upon the
point of being drawn to a close, in consequence
of theappointm. nt of General Freyre, who *eem
ed anxious to assist Peru, as its emancipation un
der ttie present system might be e-tiuungered, it
being probable that Uuldez and Cantarnc ('om-
manuers of the Royalists) would attempt to declare
Peru independent of Spain, and form a govern
ment under their own auspices.

the Jail at New Orleans, is copied from “The Iru,**

Butreiiing Accident.—A quantity of gunpow
der in o w .gun exploded in this town on foe 30th
nut. ky means of which two men were so badly
burnt as to die within twenty-four hours, and a.
nother man and a boy were ao much injured that
thei* lives are despaired of.
The circumstances attending the accident we
undent ind tu be aa follows:—'I he wagon eon
taineil3i kcgsofp.iuder ot2Sih» each,covered
with straw for more convenient transportation! a
•mall quantity, not exceeding two ounces, had
escaped from the Casks and was carefully swept
from the floor of the wagon upon tbe ground.
Whilat the owner- of the powder wxs in treaty
with a neighboring! store keeper for the sale
of the article, an unlucky boy conceived that it
would be fine sport t fire the waste powder
which was scattered upon the ground, and with
out further reflection procured a coal of fire and
communicated it to the powder. The immediate
consequence waa.thatthe straw in the wagon
which envelops d the lugs was instantly in a Maze!
The horses of course took fright and set off with
out any et rtain directum. A more horrible spec
tacle cannot well be conceived—in the thickeat
part of a populous city, a wagon containing thia
■urge quantity of powder enveloped in fire—was
about to be ezplodei, no one could tell where t
The first attempt of the horses was to reach
the stable whence they had issued, and which
was in sigh'; being driven from this course they
sought refuge in a corner, which was made by two
stores, sod had 'the explosion happened here,
both would probably have bren shattered in
pieces:—bnt a Mr. Hall, of Strafford, in bis anxie
t, to preserve his own horse, then In tbe imme
diate vicinity, drove the hones of the burning
racon into an open (pace a four rods distant, and
efore he could escape, the powder exploded!
Meantime two men and a boy, working in a hat
ter’s shop near, saw the wagon in Same, and with
out knowing its contents, undertook to unharness
the hones They were instantly wuned oftheir
danger by ihe shouts of the surrooioing muni
tu le, hut they either did not hear foe cry of pm
der distinctly,or they hoped lime would aifo*
•hem to accomplish their generous purposei bu>
before they had half finisi ed it, the fire readied
the powder; It is wonderful tint both men end
horses were not instantly shattered to pieces—
but they were noti one of the hones Is nor di ad,
and the men had presence of mind to throw them
selves into the river, and afterwards tosralk back
to the tavern—they did no* die until several bnura
afterwards. Their names are Abbot L. Kith)

CHARLESTON. July 9.
We experienced a severe thunder shower hr
tween one and two o'clock ye sterday,—The fight,
ning which for a short period was very sev< re;
struck the maintop-msat of the French brig Niu-
tounier, at Knox's wharf, and passing down tbe
mast caused a great smoke in the link); but the
fire was soon extinguished by the exerlioa of Mr.
Knox and his workmen.
A sloop, (Cornplanter, we believe) laying fit
Saltus* wharf, on South Bay, near the foot of
King at was also slightly injured by the fluid.—
The mast was a little splintered on one side, but
we did not learn that any other damage' had hap
pened to her.
But the greateat accident of which we have
heard during this severe storm, was to a girt who
vu struck by the lightning in Elllott-strect.—
She was standing in the back yard, occupied in
some domestic concerns, when foe lightning
flashed around her, accompanied by a tremend
ous clap of thunder. In the tumult eltitw mo
ment oho rushed instinctively to the door, with
out being conscious of eny pain until aha reached
the threshold. Bat as soon as she aet her foot
there, ahe felt, to use her own language, some
thing from behind pulling her back, which gradu
ally changed to a weakness ind debility - all over
her Jjmbs. Shecomplained of a pain in foe hack
parffiff her head, ahich felt similar to the sensa
tion of burning. By the direction* of the physi
cian*, cold water was poured profusely uVer tier
until she was completely cooled. She. was foeo
put to rest, and hopes are entertgiued' that she
will sustain little injury. A dwelling house con*
tigeous to the ysrdv where this accident happen
ed, was also slightly atruck by the lightning —
The plastering round the edges of one of the win*
down was torn away, but little injury besides was
done. * t

To eat moderately and slowly is of great*
er consequence than any other rule uf diet.
Appetite enough should remain to leavo
free ink functions of body and mind. H6
who is lazy, aleepy, soon after a meal, lias
taken too much. Weakly peopte, whets
they exceed their usual meal, feel dejection,
anxiety, weight at the stomach, indigestion,
wandering pain, disturbed sleep, sense of
suffocation, nervous affection*; sleep late,
wake tired, yawn, have no appetitt) become
cheerful, hungry, when tlteir stomach haw
become lightened,,eat heartily, and suffer
as before. That a generous diet is not es*
-ary to support their strength, is a general
error with the subject* of almost all chron
ic disease. • f- u
The most common cause ofmorbid disf
lention of tbe stomach is cuing too fast.
Appetite subsides'only in proportion aa
the food absords thedigestivc fluitl of "ef
stomach. If we eat slowly, if tune is ivetfl
for the absorption to take place, appt'i ad
bates before the stomach is overrhatgm ■
If a meal be interrupted 10 or 15 minutes
after no more than a third of the usual quan
tity U taken, foe person is' satisfied. A.
few mouthlulls taken a little before dinner
destroy the appetite.
When we eat too fast, (bod is not duly
chewed and mixed with talin; does not un.
dergo the first process of digestion; excites
thirst. ....
Another cause of over-distention is high
seasoning various food, such-as particufv-
ly please the psiate > we are. induced to. eat
after appetite ia satisfied.. Tht< seems to
be in particular an effect of wthe drunk flu*
ring dinner.
So intermixed are the feelings produced
by hunger, and by the means which please
the palate, that when desire to cal is const
antly renewed by a succession of different
kinds of food, we cannot judge when we
have enough. Artificial appetite is excited
at the expence of subsequent debility.
