the first thing that strikes tlie eyes of the spectator
is a large oven, built of bricks, and resting on tlie
floor ot the building. In the front of the oven iff a
small platform with a table, lights, &c. where Mon
sieur Chaubert performs his experiments. On tlie
opening of the exhibition Mons’r C'i made a short
address in English—peculiarly marked however,
by a foreign accent. He assured the audience,,
that there who not the slightest xriCK or deception
in any of his experiments, he courted the minutest
investigation of*every scientific gentleman in the
room.
The exhibition commerced with a red hot shov
el, which he drew over his face and tongue with
the greatest sangfroid imaginable. Not the slight-
pistrict of Tenncsse, among which is some of his best e st injury was inflicted on him. He also drew it

discovered his secret antidote tofire and poison.—
Two years ago he excited great astonishment in
London, an< l satisfied the College ofTbysiCians ami

T HE first year of this publication having been con
cluded, the “Reporter” will hereafter be published
w»;ekl v as well as semi-monthly. We feel grateful to the
public ibr the liberal patronage aw arded us, (having now
a more extensive circulation than any other newspaper
in the United States,) and shall leave no measure unre
sorted to, in order to render this Journal valuable in all
respects, not only to merchants, banking institutions,
brokers, and keepers of hotels, but to the community in
general. We have engaged tlie literary assistance of se
veral gentlemen well known as writers, and have corres
pondents in all tlie principal cities and towns in the Uni
ted States. We also receive weekly more than five hun
dred newspapers from different parts of the Union, so
limt, whatever information may lie circulated through the
medium of the “Reporter,” and the resources from whence
it is derived, we can confidently state, may, in all cases,
he relied upon as correct. Bank notes are being counter
feited in every direction; and on the arrival of every ves
sel from Europe, or the creation of every national excite
ment, tlie state of tlie market varies. Every person
should, therefore, lie possessed of some certain guide b\
which all such information might be received by the ear
liest muds, and at such a rate as not to render its posses
sion an exorbitant tux. Such a Journal is exactly what
rve endeavor to render the “Reporter,” m an effort to ac
complish which, neither pains nor expense aviII at any
time be spared on the part of the publisher. Every num
ber will contain a carefully corrected Bank Note List,
List of Broken Banks, Prices Currem, Prices ot Gold,
Prices of Bank and Insurance Stock, and a description ol
ail Counterfeit and Altered Notes in circulation through
out the United States, and all such information as is
likely to throw light upon tlie subjects embraced m the
des^n of this Journal. The latest foreign news, togeth
er with much original and well selected matter, will al
so be found in the columns of the “Reporter.”
The terms of the weekly publication are $3 per an-
num—the semi-monthly $2—singles copies 12 1-2 cents.

South oi it, immediately in that section where then are
already many large cotton farms. At this time, this sec
tion ot country otters to capitalists great inducements;—
land is unusually low—the population of the most re
spectable character, industrious, intelligent and enter
prising. Schools and academies arc now in opeation
equal to the best in the state, and emigrants are daily-
coming from Virginia, North and South Carolina, Geor
gia and Alabama; and many tarms have been opened to
the extent of 3 and 400 acres producing more cotton to
the acre than any other land in the same laiitude. Twelve
years experience has tested the salubrity of the climate—
no new country was ever blessed with *a greater share of
general good health. Another great advantage peculiar
to this section of country is, that navigable streams are
so dispersed, that tliere is no point at which a settlement
can be made, that will exceed a greater distance from na
vigation than twenty miles, and that the Mississippi riv
er is easy of access by land carriage at many convenient
points within this range of country,—whereas at no point

tance of 400 miles, can you approach this great River at
high water on cither side from the back country !>y land
carriage,—owing to the extensive swamps ami lakes on
both sides below the southern line of Tennessee. Anoth
er advantage may here be suggested to cotton piui'ers—
the great distance west from the Allegany Mountains—
as a degree west from said mountains is considered by
judicious and experienced cotton planters equivalent to a
degree South for the production of cotton.
Such is my exalted opinion of this fine country, that no
reasonable price would induce me at this time to i«art from
so much of my lands, did not the situation ol'ny affairs
make it absolutely necessary to raise funds to discharge
the heavy debts which have been so long and harrnssing-
ly pressing on me—For the reason last mentioned, the
undersigned Avishes to make one large sale, whidi will en
able him to close up his business at once. IF 50,-
000 acres can be disposed of at one sale, 1 Mill give a
areat bargain on the most liberal credits, say from one to
ten years, by such instalments as may be agreed on.—
1 shall be absent for the next sixty days, during wkieh
time, those who wish to purchase, can find a list oftbe
different tracts at my office, in Nashville, or they can ap
ply to L. P. Cheat ham, Esq. who is in possession of my

tleman, however, wishes to use his own phosphorus,
I will do so,” said he. Mr. Chilton, the chyniist, had
brought seme phosphorus with him. tie desired
his young man to take it out and weigh off 40 grs.
He did so, in the presence of the medical men.
“Let me try that' 1 ” said Mons’r C. He took a
small portion and rubbed it against a piece of pa
per. It produced ignition immediately. “Dat is
ver good—very good,” said Monsieur.* At his re-
? uest, Dr. Yates undertook to administer the dose,
t was put into a spoonful of water. Monsieur knelt
down, put his hands behind his back, had his stock
fakea off—“Now t ,” said he, “I am ready.”—Dr.
Yates proceeded and poured it into his mouth.
“W ell,” said the Doctor, with a sigh, “I never ad
ministered such a dose before in my fife.” When
every particle was swallowed, lie called on the com-

was practised—to satisfy themselves that it was
not hid in his mouth. Several medical men did so.
They were perfectly satisfied. They put their
fingers into his mouth, and came down from the
platform in utter astonishment.
The next experiment was writh melted lead.
He took a tin pan full of melted lead, and plunged
his fingers into it, took a portion in his hand, and
made Believe he was washing the tips ofhis fingers^
“No mistake, gentlemen,” said he, “put your fin
gers here.” Several did so, and were glad to take
them from the veseel again. They were perfectly
satisfied.
The next experiment was swallowing a spoon
ful of boiling Florence oil. A tin pan lull of this
liquid was heated to the boiling point, before the
audience. He then took the vessel and plunged
a Fahrenheit thermometer into the boiling liquid,
and exhibited the instrument to the gentlemen.
It stood at 340. “Satisfy yourselves.” He then
took a spoon, dipt it in tlie oil, filled it, put it in his
mouth, anil actually swallowed it down. Every
person present was satisfied there was no deception
practised. “What a fellow!” said one: “Why,”
said another, “a certain place, not to be named to
‘ears polite,’ carries no alarms to him.” “Will
you just take a peep,” said a third, “behind, Mon-
sieui Chaubert, and see if his feet are not cloven.”
“Now, gentlemen,” said Monsieur C. “I shall
prepare to go into the oven, and take a dish ofbeef
steaks with me to be cooked.” He retired a few
minutes to Change his dress* Doctor Pascalis, who
appeared to t»e puzzled and perplexed at all these
experiments, took the opportunity to step up to the
oven and look in. He opened the door and thrust
his hand in.—He soon drew hack. “How is the
oven Doctor?” asked a brother physician. “By
George I could go in myself,” replied the Doctor.
Monsieur Chaubert, however, soon appeared, went
into the oven, roused up the fire; and made ar
rangements He wore over his dress a large thick
great coat. “Why do you wear that?” asked some
one. “It is all the same lo me,” said he, “to go in
dressed or undressed: if I go in undressed, I must
he very cautious wheti I come out not to catch Cold.
I wear a course great coat over my dress, because
it prevents me from catching cold; besides; I have
now become economical:” This was received with
applause. He then put the thermometer into the
oven to ascertain the temperature. “Bring the
beef steaks here:” They were brought. He put
them into a tin dish: sprinkled salt and pepper on
them. “I like plenty of steaks,” said he, quite jo
vially* “Now, gentlemen,” cried Monsieur, “come
and see the thermometer; but you must look sharp,
because the least approach to the cold air will make
it fall rapidly.
Three gentlemen went up to the oven to examine.
He seized the thermometer from the interior of the
oven and held it out. “How much? how much?”
It was several secohds before they found the mer
cury and then it was 380. “Oh” said he “it is at
least 480, it has fallen since I took it out.” He re
placed the thermometer, put a black cap on his
head, had the dish of steaks placed along side of
which, with the editorial and other comments that
have been made, tend to irritate and mislead the
public mind.
The truth of tlie case is; that when tlie sulmn's-
sion was made to the umpirage of the King of the
Netherlands, there was a distinct understanding,
that until the question should be finally decided,
each of the parties should remain in the exercise of
tne same jurisdiction over such parte of the territo
ry as was then held by them respective!} 7 —or in
diplomatic language, that tlie status quo should W
strictly preserved.
The settlement of Madawa'Ska, .although within
what the United States, upon the best grounds, as
serted to be tlie boundary of the treaty ot 1783,
was, at the time of the submission, and has ever
since been, in the occupation of the British, under
the jurisdiction of the Government of New Bruns
wick.
Things remained in tills situation until within a
lew weeks past, when, by virtue of a law lor or
ganizing the several settlements o| the State ot"
Maine and establishing the municipal authority ir>
the several towns* a number of Americans, settled
at Madawaska, met to elect town officers, and a
Representative to the Legislature of the State; the
militia and civil officers of the British Government
protested against thi^s proceeding—but the election
proceeded notwithstanding. This was Certainly
a breach of the agreement between the two Gov-
ernments, in which it is believed tiie State oi'Maine,
acquiescwa,-wncnr suen act bad Keen authorized,
might justly have been considered as a notice that
the United States would not accept the award
made by the King of the Netherlands; and were
no longer bound by the agreement above referred
to, which was understood to be obligatory until ti c-
award should be executed, or declared not to ho’
binding.' But no’ Such judgement has yet been:
passed upon the award, that question must be sul -'
mitted to the discretion of other branches of the
government. Until they decide, it is presumed
that the President will think it his duty to observe
with good faith the understanding between the tw<
nations. ,
It is, therefore, equally to be lamented, that on
the part of the American citizens, the election for’
officers was inconsiderately held in the settlement
then actually governed by the civil and military au
thorities of Great Britain—and on the part oftbe
British, that violent measures have been though?
necessary to punish or counteract those proceed
ings—and that too, when mutual forbearance, for rt-
few weeks longer, would have led to a definitive,
and it is hoped, a friendly settlement of the ques
tion.
It is confidently expected that the representa
tions made by our Government will procure then •
lease of tlie persons arrested, and that, on tlie pa: f
of the patriotic State of Maine, the influence and
authority of those who direct it3 affairs, and tiv
moderation and good sense of its citizens, will pi t
vent any act that may embarrass the councils erf
endanger the peace of the United States.
