; 0 a fortnight. The chart of the coiidt of North Carolina, according to this survey, ilill’cis very materially from the. charts now in use, and corrects many important errors. The ship of the line building at Phila delphia' has drawn the name of “ North Carolina." She will be launched, we un derstand, on the 20th of September, or ihe lirst full moon tide in that month. The figure head of this noble vessel is to be a full length portrait ot the state whose name site bears. We nre also informed, that as soon as the North-Ca- rolina in launched, the keelii a frigate of the-first rate will be laid down in our navy yard.—Pliilad. Centinel. were brought back to Camden, with the tidings of his safe descent, without any injury to the balloon Carriages were despatched to conduct the intrepid and ittgeuius aeronaut to his anxious f.unilv. The notice of his intention to ascend was so short that but a small proportion ot the inhabitants had an opportunity of witnessing the interesting spectacle ; but as he has now convinced our citizens of his ability to make an aerial flight, it is presumed, lie will be encouraged to repeat the enterprizc in a more public manner, and under circumstances when lie may except merited remuneration. We cordially wish him success. from the riovnii noV. Scientific Memoranda—Mariner's Compass, The attractive property of the load stone lias been known in all ages.— Thales, surprised with so constant an effect, asci ibed to i^ a soul. Plato, A- ristotle and Pliny, mention this attrac tion, but neither they, nor any other, down to the beginning of the twelfth cen tury, knew that the loadstone, suspend ed, or floating on the water, by means of a piece of cork, always turned one and the same point, toward the north. Even the person who first remarked this, went no farther ; he had no idea of the importance or usefulness of that won derful discovery. Some virtuosi having acquired a know ledge ofthe above properties in the load stone, turned them to their own advan tage, by imposing their tricks upon the simple, under the pretence of magic.— They made a little swan, which being hollow, floated upon the water, carry ing in its beak, a lizard, or young snake. The swan pursued a piece of bread, hold to it at the end of a knife, the point of which was touched with loadstone.— This greatly surprised the spectators, who were unacquainted with this fact, while it enriched those who had pru dence enough to keep the secret. A poet ofthe 12th century informs us, that the French pilots made use of a needle, touched upon the loadstone, which the called La Marinctta. Soon after, instead of floating on water, the redneles by means of straw or cork, which the motion of the ship agitated too much, an intelligent mechanic thought of suspending the needle exactly in the centre, upon an immoveable point, tlut it might have full liberty to play and turn towards the pole. Another me chanic, in the 14th century, laid over the needle, a light circle of paste-board on which the four cardinal points and principal winds were delineated, and the whole circle divided into 360 degrees of the horizon. Tie little machine, sus pended in a box, was hung pretty near like the mariner’s lamps, and hnswered the expectations of the inventor, for, however the ship might change its situa tion, the needle always turned to the north, distinguished on the paste-board by aflower deduce. The other marks pointed out the course that was held, and the winds which they were to guard against. Several nations have contended for tliis invention. The Italians say that Elavio Gioioa, a Nepolitan, in the year 1302, made the first compass that ever was seen. Tfce French assert that even in the 12th century the needle was in use among them, and refer, as a proof of this, to the north point, being marked with aJloTi-c deduce. The English, though they do not claim the merit of the ori ginal discovery, pretend that they bro’t it to perfection, by the manner of sus pending the box, which holds the need le. Others give the honor to the Chi nese, who are known at an early period to have floated their needle upou cork as formerly practised in Europe. Tin fact appears to be, that, as is the case with several other inventions, no one knows the name of the inventor. Many probably, had a share in it, till it arrived by little and little, to its present state of perfection. Besides its inclination to the north the needle has two other motions ; one of declination, by which it recedes some degrees from the true meridian line of the sun’s shade at noon; the other of inclination, by which it bends its north ern point towards the earth, as if its be ing touched with the load-stone added a' weight to that end. In consequence of this tendency downwards, it is necessary to load the south end, to keep it hori zontally poised, and in true equilibro. The knowledge of the loadstone’s peculiar properties, carries us from one end ofthe earth to the other, and acorn- pass not larger than a dollar, is sufficient to steer into our ports, the productions of the four quarters of our globe. It is, indeed, this invention, brought to per fection, in the 14th century, which gave rise to the revival of Geography,of trade, of nutural history and true physics. *' AH for Love."—A Mr. Ferodi, in Boston, put an end to his existence by stabbing himself. YVc learn the follow- ing particulars of his case, which, howe ver romantic, we have some reason to believe are true : Mr. Ferodi was an I- talian by' birth, and about 50 years of age. His person was by no means attractive, yet his manners and address were pre possessing. He obtained a living by teaching the Italian language, and among Ins scholars was a young lady of respec tability ami fortune. The literary iuttfr course existing between the preceptor mil bis lair pupil, led to prepossessions of a more tender nature, and it is very possible, that Ferodi read Petrarch with reat effect ; in short, they fell in love with each other, the graces of the maid having a paramount influence in the cs timation of the lady over the defects of person, & they agreed to marry private ly. The father ofthe lady having some suspicion that the zeal ofthe master wai unusually warm, discovered the inten tions of both, and not being pleased with he alliance, he found means to induce Ferodi to leave the United States, and as he thought, forever. After an absence abroad of some months, and offending his resutices Ferodi returns to Boston presents himself at the house ot his fair mistress, and is denied admittance. Poor and friendless—neglected by former ac qunintance, and shunned by her he loved he determined to put an end to his exis tence in a manner corresponding with that wild enthusiasm which distinguishc his countrymen generally. He armed hirnselt, and as the story goes he repaired to the house of his mitress iscended to the drawing room where he found her alone playing o:i the piano. His presence, the agitation of frame and vehemence of gesture alarmed her ex cessively, and lier shrieks brought into the room a female relation—the young lady escaped by another door, and Ferodi embarrassed and bewildered, tired a pistol, wounded the lady, then stabbing himself in several places fell dead on the carpet. This is the story related to us. Some of his friends in a Boston paper declare that he had no intention of injur ing any person but himself. It is a me lancholy tale, but, “ omnia vine it amor." [A’. K. NaU. Advocate.] YVc learn, in addition to the article we published yesterday, relative totho death of Ferodi, at Boston, that he had, while attending the family of Mr. li. as a teach er ofmusic, declared himself to be an Ex General of Bonaparte’s late army, and produced printed and written documents in proof of his pretentions. An enquiry was instituted to ascertain the truth of these assertions and his papers were discovered to have been fabricated in Boston. He was then taken up as a swindler, and after a short detention, dis charged, on condition that he would sail for Surinam, and was fairly shipped off. Some time after, he appeared again in Bo-ton, but be was considered too uuim portant to require further notice. Fe rodi, however, one afternoon, went tu the house he had before been in the habit of attending, and inquired for bis former pupil. From the want of presence of mind in the person to whom he addressed himself, he was told the room in which the young lady was to which he immedi ately repaired ; and after a slight oppo- siton, succeeded in entering. He then presented a pistol to the young lady,- and at tlie same time drew a dirk. With the the latter he mortally wounded himself; and the former would, in all probability have been equally fatal to the intended victim, if he had not fortunately neglect ed to prime the pistol after loading it. [iiirf.J King, we doubt not, bail at tlie time some ccollection of an important event in In- reign. Soon after the commencement ot the American devolution, an English projector, in order to disparage the ce lebrity of Franklin's Lightning conductor, published an elaborate work to prove that the invention was not complete ; and proposed that balls should be added to the points of the Conductor, to embody a large quantity ofthe electric fluid ; and pass it off harmless. The King was pleased with the tho’t, tnd had some of the conductors of his palace altered agreeably to the sugges tion of the projector. Some time after, in a thunder storm, not only the King and the projector, but many others in the Palace to which the blunt Conductors were affixed, bad a melancholy proof of their insufficiency, in the great injury which that part of the Palace sustained from a holt of lightniug ; and the British Blunts were immediately changed for the American Points. The wits of the day did not faii to profit by the event : ami we well recollect to have read in the Morning Herald, the following epigram on it:— “ While you, great George, for trifles hunt And sharp conductors change for blunt, The .Nation's out of joint. Franklin u wiser sdheme pursue?, Ami all your thunder harmless views, By sticking to the point.” RECORDER. MILT.EDGE VII,LF„ Tuesday, Al-oust 22 THE BALLOON. Philadelphia, August 1.

Butween 3 and 9 o’clock, the weather being very auspicious, be sent word to town that the contemplated ascension would be made ; and at a little after 9, the balloon with the car attached in which Jllr. Guil le was seated, majestically arose. At a considerable height, it fur some minutes hovered o’er the river Delaware ; and afterwards took a N.

S. journal of an American Traveller) has never appeared in print : In a morning stroll, in the autumn of 1804, through the streets of Wey mouth, (the well known summer resi dence of the King,) chance brought me within a few paces of his Majesty, who, on his return from a ride with two of his Court, met Sir James Cranford, who had been detained a prisoner in France many months, and who had recently es caped from thence :—The King greeted hirn most corJially, and went on in his usual rapid manner, to converse on va rious subjects. Speaking of the Peace of 1802, lie remarked, that the first new he had of it was on reading in a newspa per that the treaty was signed : and that, dropping the paper, he exclaimed “ Good God is it possible." “But,” he added : “1 always thought it was an ex- yeisimental Peace ; and now we are at war again, we should not have so many objects in view at once. Let us, Sir James imitate the policy of Washington and Franklin, who always stuck at one point.' On saying which he raised his right hand in which he. held his whip, seized it with his left, and made a for ward thrust with it, suiting the action to the word.” This anecdote, so honora ble to our two illustrious countrymen uiu^ be relied on as authentic. The The oath of ofiice administered to the Spanish Cortez, is so solemn, and singu lar, that we lay it before our readers. It is administered upon (lie Bible. “ You swear, by tlie-God and his Ho ly Evangelists, and by Jesus Christ cru cified, whose sacred image you have here present, that as a Member of the general Cortez you will support the Constitution of 1812—that you will de fend and promote the preservation and increase of our Holy Catholic, Apostol ic, and Roman Religion ; you will be loyal to, and defend our sovereign Ferdinand 7th, and promote every thing conducive to the general welfare and happiness of his kingdom; and the amel ioration ofits laws, keeping secret every thing that should so be, and prosecuting the violators of the laws at every haz ard. .So you swear. “ Ifyou do so, Goil be your hope ; and if not, may he punish you as one who has taken iiis name in vuiu. Amen.’ INSANITY’ PRODUCED BY DRINK. There died, in Fayette, in the state of New- YorU,on the 3d nit. Mr. James Woodruff, d 47 years. Previous to his death, he in formed his friends, that an Angel had ap peared to him, and told him tnat he must drink, and continue to drink, so as to re main beastly drunk for nine days and nights, without eating, and, if ho survived that length of time, that he should finally be saved, lie accordingly furnished himself with a barrel of whiskey, of which In* par took more than one gallon per day, for the limited number of days, and then expired, being too weak and debilitated to take any nourishment, lie. had been in the habit of drinking to excess for a number of years.— He lias left a wife and a number of small children, fortunately in good circmstauces. FINANCES OF GREAT BRITAIN. YY’onder-, it will be remembered, were to be done towards reducing the National debt, and the consequent pressure on the people of England, by a state of peace— How have these anticipations been real ized ? For the current year, they bor row five millions of pounds—raise se ven millions of the Exchequer. hills—and appropriate twelve millions of .Sinking Fund. “ Thus it seems, that thegovern- nent of England, in time of profound peace, are not able to raise, within the year more than two-thirds of their cur rent expenses.” Evils, like this, pro ducing misery like that which is too evi dent in England, must work their own cure.—Balt.

Petersburg, (Yn.) August 11. DUEL.—A duel was fought on Wednes day evening last, near the Brick Church in Hlanilfurd, hy Mr. Jtohert,C. Adams, and James li. Boisseau, of this town, which un happily terminated in the death of both !— The distance taken by the combatants was nine feet—the. lirst fire proved ineffectual ; but at the second Mr. Boisseau received his antagonist’s ball in the right breast, and fell lifeless : Mr. Adams received the hall of Mr. Boisseau iu the right side a little below the false ribs, and survived about two hours. Of tlie nature, of the quarrel which gave rise to this fatal meeting, we are not informed.— Thus at the sln ine of mistaken honour hav those young gentlemen sacrificed themselves! A correspondent lias informed us, that ground Plaister of Paris, sprinkled on plants, in the morning w hile the dew is on them, as far as he has had experience of it, has prov ed a sure preventive to their being destroyed by (lies and hugs—and it has this farther advantage, he says, that it assists the plants in their growth.— Concord (Mass.) paper.

The punishment for this offence, by the laws of the United States, is fine and imprisonment. The numerous intruders on the. lauds ofthe Creeks and Chcrokecs will do well to profit by tills hint. Oj 2 * Tlie epitome of Dr. Seybert’s Statis tical Annals of the United Slides’ in the E- dinbtirgh Review, though containing much information familiar to every American rea der, is yet, we think, well worth re-publica- tion in our paper—the condensed form in which the facts are presented, not less than the comments of the Briii°!i Reviewer, re commend it to noticu, Tlie article will he found on our first page. The far-famed editor of the National Gazette, Mr. YValsh, in catering for his read e.rs, occasionally amuses himself by publish ing from some southern newspaper tlie ad vertisement of a runaway slave—and having lately discovered that a vagabond fellow, who had lied from justice, is described as having a black mistress, he is horror-struck at the immorality and depravity ofthe people in the stare-holding states. Bad enough we are in all conscience. But will Mr. YValsh inform us in W hat part of the world the peo ple are universally moral and virtuous ? Are they so iu Pennsylvania, or in New-Eng- land, where white servants supply the place of our slaves? YVe know they art not.— YY’hence, hut from the North, come tliost daring highway robbers and murderers, the Huttons Sc the Hulls? Crimes, of the high cr grade particularly, are li^ss common here than there. Every man from the south, who has travelled in tlie northern states, must have noticed, and having noticed it, could not hut regret, the exposed and degraded si tuation of tiic beautiful white girls employ ed as servants, who so often fall a prey to seduction. Than this, there is nothing in negro slavery, unpleasant as it is, more ah horrent. dii nt, who ate. authorized to sell it, but not under par. Such are the outlines of the plan proposed by our neighbors of Tennessee for relieving their embarrassments. A very spirited re monstrance ngninst the adoption of this mea sure, signed we are told by men of tbo first standing in the state, produced no effect.— The Remonstrants say, they “do not believe that the Legislature can Interfere with pri vate contracts, and cannot exercise any pow er in relation to them, except in the passage of laws to enforce their execution. Howe ver severe may be the pressure upon a cer tain class of our citizens, the undersigned cannot persuade themselves that it will justi fy the measure proposed to he adopted on the present occasion. They cannot refrain from expressing the opinion, that theronever had been submitted to their examination, a measure pregnant with more alarming and ruinous consequences.

There are reports afloat, rela tive to you, sir, which, if true, are calculated to affect your election. Perhaps you have not heard them, or, if you have, it has been under circumstances which would not au thorize you to defend yourself publicly.— Then, how deeply will you feel indebted to me, to tell you what part of your public conduct is censured ? But, sir, 1 do not ex act any acknowledgment from you. 1 do it “pro bono publico," for the “good ofthe service.” If it should appear, sir, thut you have nut been guilty of impropriety in office, the people w ill be benefited by the inquiry. If you have—the investigation will be a pub- lic'good. For either you do not deserve the accusations made against you—or, if you ffo, the. people ought to know you I will not ask you why you resigned your seat in Congress in 1818; for every body knows that it was because you were not re elected. The justice.of the “lex lalionis," or law of retaliation, is universally admitted ',k you, undoubtedly, had the right to revenge yourself upon the people for turning you out of office. In that daring act of yours, sir, you shewed Ihe people that you would not suffer them unpunished to treat you with indignity ; and, no doubt, they will profit hy the severe lesson you gave them.
