Ad. Durham, had sailed in quest of the Constitution. .The Venerable took the two French frigates lately carried into Barba dos*. When they fell in with the 74 they agreed to fight her, but on closing with her the French Com modore made sail and escaped. Hci contort exchanged several broad sides with the English ship, and then attempted to board her, but fell astern, after throwing about 70 men on her deck, who were mostly kil led or wounded. A few days after wards the Venerable fell in with the Other frigate and captured her. The Fox frigate was off St. Barts, on the 20th Feb. The Saratoga pri vateer was said to be in the W. In dies—also, an American sloop of War. A frigate sailed in co with the Venerable, to look for the Cons tltution. The French frigates had proceeded from Barbadoes to Anti gua, where they were to be fitted out. 1 • * *. “ P. S. Several of the passengers in the R. States arrived in town at 12 o'clock last night.

By some, it may be styled 44 a hook in the nose,** To his Excellency James Madison , Prc» si deni of the U* S. The petition of the subscribers, fishermen of Boston and its vicinity, humbly sheweth, that many of them have inadvertently and without due reflection, signed a petition to the le gislature of Massachusetts, praying for relief from the restriction impo sed upon them by the u Act laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the U. States.'’ They have since learnt, that therein they were most grossly imposed upon, and deceived by de signing individuals* For had the legislature granted'their prayer, and any one man availed himself of the circumstances, U would have involv ed this state, and perhaps the nation, in civil war ; it would have raised the state standard against that of the union, and brought upon us all the horrors of civil commotion: Conse quences which they now contemplate with horror, and. deprecate as the greatest of evils- They ask no indul | gence incompatible with the great national objects, contemplatedby the embargo law* They trust it would be wholly superfluous to describe their necessities,*oc those of their [ families; they are doubtless well ; known to your Excellency. All they i ask for is, liberty to proceed with their empty vessels and necessary | fishing apparatus, under such res | trictions as your Excellency shall judge expedient, tathe fishing ground in Boston Bay, for the , purpose of fishing for the market. If they had not, heretofore, (ex* cept in the instances* alluded, to J. de meaned themselves as good citizens, quietly and peaceably pursuing their innocent and. necessary avocation'; if they had not rigidly obeyed the laws; uniformly the au thorities of their country, and been constantly attached to the union of the state ;, they would not now ap pear before the father of the Ameri can people. But. they confidently appeal to the officers of the customs, and all’ those citizens who . have wit nessed their conduct, for its unifor mity in the above recited particu lars.

The Oestrus equi or Horse-Bot is so tenacious of life and so difficult to kill, when* taken out of the stom ach of the horse, that it has been feared that nothing can be carried into the stomach sufficiently power ful to kill the hot without endangering the life of the Horse. But it is con fidently believed from many exper iments, and observations that the nux vomica or What is commonly called ox vomit will effectually de stroy bots and not injure the horse. It is also ascertained that a horse ap parently laboring under the annoy ing influence of the Grubs or Bots in the stomach, with emaciation, a difficulty to thrive and a loss of ap petite, that the nux vomica wonder fully aids k* restoration to health and flesh. Indeed it is believed from many years experience that a single button or nut giVen to a horse three or four times a year will secure him from Bots* This nut is a powerful narcotic and it is conjectured kills bots as an appropriate poison to the insects* AH new settlers in coun tries abounding with wolves know by experience that the nux vomica kills wolves and all other carniverous ani mals, and i late proves that it is not deliterious to animals that feed on grass or grain. The oestrus equi or Horse-Bot is a car niverous animal, living entirely on the juices of the horse’s stomach, and is killed by an appropriate poi son for such animals—-The horse is , a graminiverous animal, and is there fore not injured by the nux vomica, but relieved from an enemy that would destroy his life. The nut is so tough that it wHI not powder by Beating—it must be filed down to a state of powder and given in hrajfe-two nuts make a full dose—one, a moderate dose* Augusta Herald* SHEEP. A simple and effectual method of preventing the destruction of sheep by wolves, eoramunicated to the Society for the promotion of Use ful Arts, in theE state of New-York, by Ezra L‘Hommedieu. Vice Prc • siderit of th£ Society. Mr* Walter Bridge a respecta ble farmer in Schoharie, who keeps r large number of Sheep, informs me that he loses none’ of them by wolVes, which plenty in that part of the country, and cannot be driven off or destroyed except in traps*——He makes an ointment composed of gun-powder and brim-’ stone, powdered fine and mixed with tar and gurry, or currier’s oil. With this he anoints the under part of the throat of the sheep; It must be re ’ newed as often as the ointment be comes dry, or loses its moisture which will be four or five times in a, season—He says he has lost no; sheep since he has been in this prac tice, and has often seen the wolves* tracks among the sheep’s tracks in> the fields. He had a parcel of sheep which had been out a number of weeks, and no- care taken, of them except ’ their necks being anointed with this ointment, when he was in formed by his neighbor that the sheep were at his house and that early on Sunday morning they came running into his door yard—he look ed out of the window, and saw a wolf among them, who ran from one sheep to another, and jumped’ upon them, but did not offer to- bite any of them. The sheep were brought home, and none of them injured by the wolf. I thought it .advisable to make this communication to the Society, as tnany parts of our country are so idfested by wolves, that they are ob liged to yard their sheep every night to preventtheir being destroy--’ ed by those Voracious animals. ‘ v V The True Blooded Yankee • A letter from,Mr.Preble, ("an A merican gentleman from Mass, now, residing in Paris ) owner of this lebratfcd American privateer, dated 30th December, received in this town, states that the True Blooded Yankee has captured since she was fitted out, and only 37 days at sea r 27 vessels, .and made 270 prisoners.

Salem Register* t ,aajg LATE FOREIGN NEWS. IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE- From the Rost an Daily Advertiser of March 35. By the arrival of the Rambler ire have received a file of Bofdeaux pa pers to the 9th of February, from which we have made such transla tions as time would permit. We have also been favored with extracts from private letters, which wilt be found below, The news which we have been able to glean from these as well as conversation with the pas sengers we will endeavor to recapi tulate. The allies were advancing into France in every direction, and had already approached within sixty miles of the capital. The greatest apprehensions were entertained for the safety of Paris, and every exer tion was making to fortify it. The Emperor had caused trenches to be dug around the city, and the beauti ful groves in its vicinity to be ckj down for pailisades. He left the city himself on the 36th of January, having appointed the Empress Regent, and his broth er Joseph his Ll. Gen. and charged with the defence of the Metropolis, the official account of his battles immediately after joining his army we have published at length- ‘ Not withstanding this attempt to disguise the truth, it is evident that he was worsted in every engagement— and such was the general ©pini on at Bordeaux—lt is certain that he continued to retreat. The disaf fection among the people was gene ral, Placards had been put up in the theatre at Bordeaux, denouncing the tyrant. The levy en masse could not be carried into effect- The armies were scattered and composed chief ly of raw recruits. It was said *hat the cossacks had shown themselves at Fountainbfeau, within 3 s miles of Paris. It is reported too, that Mu rat the King of Naples, had made his peace with the allies, notwith standing the statements in papers, it was believed that Denmark had join ed the common cause. A rumor was circulating that the Crown Prince had taken Hamburg. Nu merous failures had taken’ place at Paris, and’ Bonaparte having taken all the specie from the vaults, the bank had been obliged to stop pay ment. Stock which cost originally 1150 francs had fallen to 480. Bayonne had not been taken as late as the 10th of February. There had been some skirmishing between the armies, but when the Rambler sailed Lord Wellington had made no decisive movement- His force was estimated'at 100,000 men, Soult’s t army at about 30,000. A negotiation for a general’ peace had commenced at Chatillon sur Seine. Manheim was the place se lected by Napoleon in December to treat on the basis offered by the al lies, as stated in the note of the ba ron de St. Aignan. If Will’ be re membered that the Count de Fanta-- nes complained in his speech of the > 36th December, that the allies had * refused to adhere to these terms, ft now appears that the seat, as well as the conditions, of negotiation is changed. Th£ Paris papers speak favourable as to its progress- This f anguage may be politic. We find in the Bordeaux Indica tor, London dates to the: 38th of January* but no articles of news. A Paris papej* of the 9th ofFebru \ ry was received at Bordeaux, just as l the Rambler was sailing. It con : taintd nothing of importance ; but i the mention of the despatching of a * courier, to England by Lord Castle reagh. * . ****** From tMe Moniteur of 23d January, magikburg, Jan 6.
