Extract of a letter written by a gentleman in
Lumlon, to another ill Baltimore. “ Politically
vve have little news. The, meeting of the sove
reigns at Aix-la-Chappelle is the occurrence that
will attract much attention. Letters from Spain
speak of it as an event not to be doubted, that
a revolution will brea* out very short!}’, having
for its object the expulsion of Ferdinand, the re
call of the banished Libciales, and the old king
Charles to be put at the head of a representative
government.—It is said efforts will be made to
obtain the sanction of the assembled sovereigns
for this new order of things.”
England, fife.—It is said, (says the I.ondon
Courier.) that Mr. Gallatin,ambassador from the
United States to the court of France, and Mr.
Rush, American ambassador in this country, have
been appointed plenipotentiaries, for the purpose
of renewing and extending the commercial trea
ty already existing between Great Britain and
the United States, and held a conference with
lord Casllereagh on Saturday, August 22, at his
lordship’s seat, North-Cray, Kent, at which were
the rignt lion. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Goulburn,
who, it is added, are the plenipotentiaries ap
pointed by his majesty’s government, to negoti
ate with the American plenipotentiaries, assisted.
Letters from Paris state, that the number of
English, Irish and Scotch, in France, appears, on
the police of books, to amount to 62,000, every
one of whom is registered as to name, residence,
&c. ami could be arrested in 24 hours. It is es-
disfiosed oT, likc cattle—and where as.at other
lairs, much underdealing and speculation is going
on at intervals.—l)el. ft’atchmuu.
The Guerriere frigate, captain M'Donough.
which arrived at Cowes, Aug. 22, and sailed the
24th for St. Petersburg excited much attention
and admiration, and was visited by many of the
nobility, navy officers and others, who were very
courteously received. The London Traveller,
after speaking in the highest terms of her size
and fine appearance, and mentioning the surprise
of their navy officers at her high stale id' equip
ment and order, remarks that eleven of her barge
and launch crews had deserted.
DOMESTIC.
Till'. FUR TRADE.
The importance of this trade has not been suf-
ficienlv estimated by the American government.
The English have always seen its value. They
have aided their subjects in carrying it oil, and
have made ita means of individual wealth, and
of national power. The North West and Hud
son Bay companies, protected by the English go
vernment, liavp carried down the St. Lawrence
the furs of the Missouri and Mississippi: Mon
treal has flourished upon a commerce which be
longs to St. Louis : and the British trailers have
acquired for their government the command of
all the savages of the North American continent.
The Hudson Bay and North West companies,
for a long time enemies and rivals to ea'rh other,
are now reported to be united under the direction
of the earl of Selkirk. The policy and enter-
prize of this chieftain will give a new energy to
the united operations of these companies. The
tiinated that their expenditures amount to fifty j scat of their power is at the junction of the As-
siniboin and Red river, in latitude 50 and longi
tude 21, from Washington city. Here the earl
of Selkirk has planted a Scotch colony, built
a fort and established a garrison ; and from this
point the British traders extend their operations
into the territories of the United States; spread
ing themselves over the head waters of the Mis
sissippi, the river St. Peters, and all that part of
the Missouri, which lies above the Mandan villa
ges to the British e-tablishinents on the Assiniboin
is but five days travel, and a constant communi-
thousand pounds a day—a sum which, if spent at
home, would give an impulse to trade, even in
London itself.
Hostile symptoms.—The London Morning Chro
nicle, speaking of the inflammatory remarks in the
ministerial papers relative to the execution of Ar-
buthnot and Ambristie, says, “ It seems to us
that great pains have lately been taken to inflame
the public mind against America, and we cannot
help thinking that ministers are paving the way
for another war with America. Is their hatred ; cation is kept up between them as well bv thr

all this is overlooked to gratify a blind hatred of
liberty.”
The famous Warren Hastings lately died in
England, in the 86th year of his age. During
30 years of his administration in India, it has
been calculated that his wars and monopolies
cost the lives of thirty three millions of the na
tives—an eternal monument of “ British hu
manity.”—AWes’.

Norfolk', October 14.—Captain Brickley, of
the schooner Marmion, who arrived here last
evening from Laguira, states, that at the time of
his sailing, September 8, the patriots were besieg
ing Cumana, with a force of 2000 men. The
royalists however were numerous and well sup
plied with provisions and military stores, both of
which, it was understood, the" patriots stood
much in need of. It was the general opinion that
no fighting would take place until December, a-
bout which time they calculated that the plains
would be sufficiently dry for their operations.
A report had reached Laguira, just before the
Marmion sailed, which was currently believed,
that two English vessels, laden with provisions
and munitions of war. for the relief of the patri
ots, had arrived at Oronoko from some of the
Islands—but were intercepted on their way up
the river anil captured by a squadron of Spanish
flecberas (a sort of gun boats.) As soon, howe
ver, as the intelligence of their capture reached
Trinidad, a brig at war was immediately dis
patched by the British admiral to demand thei
lelease. and proceeded to Guavra, a small town
in the gulph of Para, into which the flecberas
had carried the two vessels. The Spanish, how
ever, refused to give them up, when the brig as if
determined to have them at all hazards, commen
ccd firing on the Spanish flotilla—ami admira
Briun coming up at the Mine time w i»h his squad
rim joined in the attack—and nearly all the tie
cheras were in a short time, either taken or sunk,
The town of Guayra was then taken possession
of by admiral Briun, and the two English ves
sels restored to the captain of the brig.
The legitimate meeting, at Aix-la-Chappelle
will be attended it is said, by several English
bankers and monied men, as loans will probably
be negotiated there. The congress is to be a kind
of Miscellaneous Fair, where the common peo
ple of Europe are to be bantered, or otherwise
a latitude further north than the head of die Mis
sissippi, she suddenly turns to the south, ami
discharges herself into the guff of Mexico.
It is at the point of this northern bend that the
British traders enter the region of the Missouri,
and cut oil the American traders from the com
merce of the Indians above. Since 1807, they
have maintained this advantage. At that period
the American had gone above, had entered and
even crossed the Rocky mountains ; but the Black
Feet Indians wcie set upon them by the British
traders; twenty-seven of their number were
killed; and the remainder driven home.
It is also at this bend that the Missouri receives
the Yellow Stone; at the mouth of which the
American government is now establishing a fort
lid a factory.
The choice of this position is excellent, and
the government have been equally fortunate in
the ilioice of the officers who are to maintain it.
The military force will bo under the coinlnand
colonel Chambers: the Indian department
will be under the immediate direction of captain
O'Pallnn.
Besides the services which will be rendered by
these officers within the circle of their duties in
counteracting British policy, and attaching the
Indians to the American standard, much is ex
pected from their researches into the geographv
and natural history of the country which they
will visit.
The first step towards protecting the American
traders in the prosecution of the fur trade, it is
hoped will be followed up by another on the wi t
of the congress, the incorporation of a company
to carry it on upon all the waters of the Missis
sippi, Missouri, and Columbia rivers. The citi
zens of this country forwarded a petition to con
gress to this effect about three years ago: Have
the congress had time to read it yet ?

revenue cutter Eagle. In the afternoon, another
salute of 21 rounds was fired in broad way, by a
company under the command of sergeant John
M ’Neil. At the last mentioned place, the Char
ter of King Charles the 2d, was rammed into the
cannon and discharged ; after which, 20 guns
were fired over the remains. After the first sa
lute, all the bells cotemporaneously, began a
merry peal. When the salute was over, they
tolled three times ; we suppose in honor of the
death of the poor old charter. So much for pop
ular feeling. It cannot be mistaken.
A Salem paper says that the United States’

The appointment of the duke of Richmond to
the government of Canada, is probably to be ac
counted for oi. the same principles as the ap
pointment of count Panin to a government of
Siberia. The death of the princess of Co
burg in England, has made the hopes of the fam
ily, or fa-orite son of the queen of England,
presumptive heir to the British throne, that is the
duke of York.—The present duke of Richmond,
is the same person who, under the name of lord
George Lenox many years ago. severely chas
tised (he duke of York, anil afterwards compell
ed him to a duel : after the duke of York’s ad
ventures with Mr. Clarke had sunk his influence
at court, this nobleman becoming duke of Rich
mond hv the death of his brother, and the minis
ters being adverse to the duke of York, this no
bleman was appointed lord lieutenant of Ireland :
from w hich he has since been recalled since the
duke of York regained his ascendency—as the
government of Canada can be considered only as
a depression instead of an elevation—there is ve
ry good reason* to believe, that Canada is on
this occasion made a place of exile instead of

USEFUL ARTS.
?s we are.—The elevated situation of the
state.of New-York, is a theme of inexhaustible
felicitation to her happy citizens. The improve
ments of the season past are incalculable ! A
spirit of emulation is exciting almost every
county, village, and individual, to exertions
which have a corresponding effect upon their
happiness and prosperity.—Thousands of our
citizens have been aroused from slumber and ap
athy, to engage with zeal and enterprise in the
glorious work of honest industry. The noble
cause of Agriculture is holding forth a propi
tious boon to every industrious individual of our
state. The Agricultural success of this au
spicious season is a precursor of riches more es
timable than the mines of Polosi ! While the
success ol tillage gladdens every heart, we have
other causes of congratulation "in the improve
ments of Mechanism and in navigation. The
soil ol the Agriculturalist is to he enriched by
Navigation from the extremity of the State to
its flourishing emporium. The Farmer will soon
oe enabled to waft the fruits of his industry from
his very bam door to the richest market in the
Union! The year 1817, is a proud era in the
history of New-York. More has been done for
the melioration of our laws, the advancement of
the useful arts, the renovation of agriculture,'
the inducement to industry, the improvements in
territory, and the reputation of the State, than
in any other like period since its organization.
The views of our Statesmen are enlightened and
expanded—the enterprise of our citizens, and
Infallible Cure, or lute Discovery—Made by a
friend of agriculture, which may prove of the
greatest importance and benefit to the planters ol
cotton,indigo, tobacco,or any oth t tender plants,
object to by attacked in their early ■■tute or in
blossom by insects, which have proved to be the
greatest scourge, the planters have to dread in the
southern states ; the surest method is to follow
the direction, viz.
When cotton, tobacco, indigo, or any other
tender plants are in blossom, is the instant of us
ing all the exertion possible of destroying the in
sects, so prejudicial to these plants, which have
of late proved a great scourge. Take 24 or 50
lbs. of sulphur, or more if required, according to
the crop—melt the sulphur in an iron pot in the
open air; when melted, take rags and cut them
from 10 to 12 inches—dip them singly in the sul
phur; and ju»t as the cotton is beginning to blos
som have 4 or 500, or more, stuks prepared,
which you will stick about 18 inches out nt the
ground, rolled round with the rags and placed
between the rows of cotton ; then in the evening
when a gentle breeze is blowing, light y our match
es of sulphur on the tops of the sticks ; anil in
an instant, with light wood, you can have from
500 to 1000 lijjityd at once; observing which
point the wind is jn, so as to spread the smoke
through the rows of cotton, See. Let this be done
once or twice a week, and it will prove an in
fallible remedy.—Charleston Times.
Progress of Steam rower, fife.—Mr. Madison,
in his instructive address to the Agricultural So
ciety of Albemarle, Virginia, has forcibly incul
cated the utility of promoting plantations of trees,
so as to form wood for farming purposes and for
fuel. Inhabiting a new country, we have, as he
intimates, been too prodigal in our expenditure
of the natural productions of the vegetable king
dom, and too inattentive to the accessible means
of reinstating them. Taken ih connexion with
the progress of steam power, the reproduction of
fuel, through the fruitful principle of vegetation,
ought to command early and serious attention.—
From every appearance, our own waters, if not
the ocean, will soon be covered with boats pro
pelled by steam, and steam may be applied to
milling to almost any extent. The power may
be also applied to many other Useful and profita
ble institutions. In fact, the progress of steam
pow er can only be limited by the limitation of the
supply of fuel. Like the principle of population,
it must stop when there is no longer any thing
wherewith to feed it. This view of the subject
is much enlarged, when we reflect on the increase
of gas lights, which likewise require great quan
tities of fuel. We wish to bring the public mind
to ponder with earnestness on this topic—Having
ascertained and fixed a principle of motion and
a principle of light, which, for objects that are
indispensable to d comfortable existence in soci
ety, are all important, shall we, through sheer la
ziness, circumscribe the sphere mf their .useful
ness to mankind.--National Register.
