I will here make one observation. Since,
so far as we can understand, from direct obser
vation and analogy, Nature’s way ol doing bu
siness, that when she desires to accomplish a-
ny particular purpose, she every where labors
under a sort of mechanical necessity, so that
b -fore she can look for or expect this purpose,
she must first prepare its executing instrument:
we should believe, whether we can behold
them or not, that every diversity of instrumen
tality harmonizes and bespeaks a correspond
ing diversity of effects or phenomena.
This rule then becomes established: That
every change of structure we see in the living
economy, tells, and has an individuality in die
functions, or a distinct function attached to it,
and that nature varies the structure only, for no
other purpose, than to vary the functions or og
gregate effects of the vital economy
The final cause of these functions, we shall
presentlv see, when we speak of that, which
gives rise to, and determines the animai forms.
' What then shall I say of the three sorts of
substances, in which contractility resides.
That thev all have but onefunction contraction,
as physiologists teach? Certainly not.

path of nature, will behold the clue and tra

the son of the Count de Bourmont himself.—*

other sickness.
The loss of the Turks in the several engage,
ments that had taken place between them and
the French, is supposed to have been very
heavy, though it could not be computed or
conjectured with any probability, owing to
their custom of their carrying off their slain and
wo<nded. A story is told of one of the wound

part of the universe, that the air, it was to

INDIAN HOSTILITIES.
Tuscaloosa, (dla.) Juki 29—VVe learn by tu* ^ftrpen
County U izette, that ontbe 14th inst at ihe Factory in
the-Choctaw Nation, about 15 miles from Eric, a serious
disturbance took place which threatened much bloodshed,
between two parlies of Indians under the influence of
Mushulatubba and Laflore. The fallowing particulars
are taken from the Gazette:
The differences existing between Mushulatubba and
Laflore, has existed for some time, which arose in the first
place from a disposition held forth by Laflore, to christin-
ize the Chocktaw nation of Indians, in which he erred, by
exercising his authority to the utmost extent, which of
fended many of the people of the nation. Some of the
oposition party burnt a large number of religious boi-ks,
and one or two churches. Another difference, which a-
rose out of the election of Mushulatubba as chief of the
Southern district of the nation; and of h>« opposing the
views of Laflore, in selling the lands to the United States,
with a provision of reserving to himself, Folsom and oth
ers, large and valuable tracts. To which, Mushulatubba
ami beside, by each of its properties separate
ly, which, in corpuscular bodies, are capable cf
endless modification from the activity of their
affinities or modifiers. What adds to its domi
nation, and greatly widens the sphere of its in
fluence is, that the single action, of any body
upon life, becomes doubled by life s reaction——
separates into two to be distributed through
its economy, the on- of contraction, and the
other of sensation. The actions then of all
physical bodies impressed upon it, becomes
two in its reaction, constituting two distinct
ami separate classes, and named in relation to
their effects, are contractiferous and idcaific.
A circumstance not yet noticed, that 1 know
of, is, that diversity of organic structure, does
rot modify the phenomena of contraction, while
it does in so decided and eminent a degree,
those of sensation. Thus, by the three sorts
of organized substance, fibrin, jelatine, and al
bymen, in which contractility appears to be es
scntially resident, the action of a body seems
to uadergo tro variation or multiplication; the
er ideas and call them up in trains, multiplies
to a prodigious extent the indirect influence,
which bodies exercise upon life Thus the
tomb, where her heroic lover lay, when she
looked upon it, sped instantly the shaft of
death, and the young and beautiful Princess of
Greece fell a sacrifice—died of her memory.
Who can surv.-y its dark and extensive
range, or count the stimulations of physical
matter, operating by its form, its gravity, its
affinities, its extension, its inertia; by its smooth
ness, its roughness, its elasticity, its hardness,
its softness: by its colour as in vision its sapi
dity in gusfation its aroma in olfaction, its
sounds in audition—in the shapes of coloric,
light, galvanism, electricity, magnetism, pro
ducing coniractionsthrough contractility, ideas
through sensibility, which accumulating in the
panopticon of the brain, radiate back to the vi
tal properties, agitating the economy, exhalt-
ing, depressing it. with all that exist betwpen

19th. Thus the position which is now occu
pied by the division* Berthene and Loverdo is
midway between Sidi Ferruch and Algiers.
On leaving the camp there is no longer
brushwood to be found There are a few fir,
olive and mulberry trees however to be seen,
T he soil is almost every where covered with
dwarf palm trees. It is uncultivated, but na
ture justifies all that has been said by ancient
historians of its fertih’v. A short league from
Sidi Khalil, towards Algiers, the country is
well cultivated. The army will find there

party, amounting 1 to about
or.e thousand warriors, of tbi* number between two and
three hundred were *rmed, had encamped only a small
distance trom the Factory; the agents were distributing to
each bis portion with as little delay as possible, to let
them depart to their homes.
Information has been received that Laflore, tvitb a par
ty of about 1500 warriors had arrived; between eight or
nine hundred of his men were armed, four or five hundred
bad muskets, and many of those who had not guns, had
prepared themselves with warclubs, (the emblem of war,)
spears, knives &c. in the mean time Leflore bad sent a
messenger to Mushulatnba informing him that if he did
not consent to give up his commission, that he (L.) would
fall upod him, and would not desist while he retained
hfe. Two hours were given for bis decision. To this
message Mushulatubba paid the utmost contempt. Two
or three messages of the same import, at different times,
were given to (M.) and to all of which he gave answers of
the utmost disdain and defiance. His men were all
anxious for a contest.
Laflore’s warriors were all painted, and expressed
much anxiety to fight* This may de considered as :-n
outrage, as Laflore must have come at least 200 miles for
the purpose of chastising (VI.) f >r his unbelief.
Thg Chocktaws are divided into two districts, the upper
district is under the control of Laflore; and the lower dis
trict is under that of Mushulatubba.—1'he Choctaw ua-
limits of the State of Mississippi; and they have in this
State a tract of Land which is about 70 miles long and 20
wide. °

be sufficient for the present. A hound having
all the appearance of madness, hit several
hounds in the pack of a Mr. Freeman; he was
killed; the medicine was immediately applied
to all the rest, bit and not bit, save one, on
which the experiment was not tried: he dLd
raving mad; none of the rest showed any ap
pearance of infection- The sooner it can be
applied the better. After the lapse of 12 or
24 hours, the remedy might succeed in a case
or two but would fail in others, No kennel
should be without the medicine. Any cbymist
can determine how long it will keep. Six

ounces garlic,‘four ounces mitbridate or Venice
treacle; cut the rue and garlic small, mix them
with three quarts ?mall beer, or white wine, in
a vessel that can be stopped close, put it into
a pot of boiling water, with hay tied about it to
prevent it from being broken against the sides
of the pot when the water is b< iling, let it sim
mer over a slow fire three or four hours, then
sqeeze the liquor from the herbs, and bottle it
lor use, and seal the cork How to apply it:
for a dog, one table spoonful the first day, two
the second, three the third, four tho fourth, and
five the fifth; continue to give four or five
mornings more; nine mornings in all. The

In 1818, a vessel that sailed between
Whitehaven and Jamaica embarked on her

gers, carried a female, who had at Ihe breast
a child only a tew weeks old. One beautiful
