This preparation has now been in use in Germany and France about three years; and been pronounced, by every one who lias given its fair trial, the best remedy they have ever used for the exterminatioo cf Rats, Mice, Ants, Cock- Roaches, and Bed-Bags. The articles composing this composition are in themselves very innocent, and contain not a particle of poison; but when combined-create a gas, which explodes the stomach, and consequently destroys life in n few hours.

And yet adopting ihtir t»wu version tion, with the name of the Queen and most of i of the story, tuci-ming as now in force the doc- 1 tho nobility on its list of subscribers, vuiies this urnf-ni put f >rth by Ent-laud as the sole anthen- story, thus: I tic bill of icrfit«ui„i lights ou Du- Northwest “It may be mentioned here, that, it) 1795, i const, and iulcip.eiii'g i.s piov.sions by the this territory was formally taken possession of by Lieutenant Pierce of the British navy, and received the name of King George’s Sound.”— Adolphus's Reign of George II /, vol. 4, p. 502. Nothing about a surrender, here. It “ was formally taken possession of” and named ; a very' easy thing for u Lieutenant Pierce, or any one else to do after the Spaniards had vacated Whence this “ Lietitenant Pierce of the Ma rines” sprang, all ofa sudden, does not appear. Vancouver says not a word, in his voyage, of leaving any one at Nootka. Aud, on the face of it, it is a thiog mast unlikely, that England should entrust ihe ultimaie settlement ofa dis pute that cost her millions, and had baffled die Meares, a British trader in search of furs, i support Spain against the English. And the 1 cabinet of London, intimidated by thi9 energetic puts into Nootka Sound.

In tho I The motive any be ... correctly inferred; coinmencemcnl oi tins man s memorial laid be- - - ■ i- 1 -1- fore Parliament two years afterwards, it is still only “a spot of ground, where he built a house for his occasional residence;” but it is purcha sed from Maquilla. Even before tlie memo rial concludes, however, this modest spot of groui.d Ins swelled into ihe lauds belonging lo your memorialist.” The men in buckram increase in number as the drama proceeds. By the month of October 1790, tihd in the words of the Convention, it had become “ buildings and tracts of land,” ol which Meares had beeu dispossessed ; and when two years more had passed over the transaction, nothing short of the whole settle ment of Nootka, with the recognition of Meares as sovereign of the territory, would satinfy the voraciously increasing appetite of the British cla in. Spain, us may well be supposed, was not prcjKired to keep pace with these yeatly-in- creasing demands. Quadra and ihe Bt itish navigator parted in personal kindness, but after n fruitless negotiation ; Nootka remaining iu possession of Spain. Vancouver expressly says; “ 1 requested in conversation the next day (Sept. 16,1792) to be informed, if he (Quadra) was positively resolved to adhere, in the resti tution of this country, to the principle contain ed in hia last letter? aud on receiving from liitn a reply in the affirmative, I acquainted him, th u I should consider Nootka as a Spanish port; and requested his permission to carry on the ueoessary employments on shore, which be very politely gave.”—Voy. Vol. 2, p 367, ’8. Two years after this negotiation, nnmely in September 1794, Vancouver returned lo Noot ka, found the Spanish flag still flying there; and, Quadra buying died meanwhile, found Se- nor Aiava appointed commandant of Nootka. From this gentleman lie learnt that he (Alaya) had been appointed “ for the particular purpose of finishing the pending negotiation.” But no instructions from England had reached V an- couver; and he left Nootka without effecting anything. Two months later, at Monterey, Vnncoyer says that Aiava received instructions, of which he confided a part to the British navigator ; and these instructions, ao Vancouver tells us, would enable an amicable adjustment “ nearly on the terms offered to Senor Quadra in September 1792.” But still, no instruction* to Vancou ver; who accordingly returned to England, leaving the whole matter open ns before. So far, then, it is confessed, that for more than four years after the signature ofa conven tion wrung from Spain by menace and, lavish warlike preparation, she remained in. poaceful and undisturbed possession'of the eiiUre^se.ttle- rhtyiLof Nontfta.' Nor is tiuit9iany.. : e\,Idpn.ce, •unless we consider asaucha *aguerepqi; til I ft ded to by an undistinguished navigator, that known to one of the most noted diplomat! soil the day. . The testimony of the British historian Bel- Bliam, writing in 1805, but ten years after the date of the affair, is still more distinct. In sum ming up the h story of the Nooika ufl tir, he says: “ So insignificant was the object in contest, that no one, either in or out of Porliamen*, has, so far as appears, thought it worth while to in quire, whether restoration has really been made in the mode prescribed hy the treaty or not. it is certain, nevertheless,/™™ the most aut’icri tic subsequent information, that the Spanish flag flying at the fort und settlement of Nootka was never struck, and that the whole territory has been virtually relinquished by Great -Britain.” Behham's Hist, of England, vol. 8, p. 337-8. Aud again, iu the appeudix to the same vol ume, after giving'the oflicial documents connec ted with the dispute, be adds : “But though England, at tlie expense of three millions, extorted from the Spaniards a promise of restoration und reparation, it is well uacertaiued, first, tlust the settlement in ques tion never was restored by Spain, nor the Span ish flag at Nootka ever struck; and secondly, that no settlement lias ever been subsequemiy attempted by England on the California coast.” Appendix, pp- 40-41. The Edinburgh Review of July Inst t ikes nearly the same view of tlie facts. Its words are: “ Vancouver left Nootka Sound in the pox- session sf the Spaniard*; and there is conside rable doubt whether any lands were ever re stored to Meares, or whether there .were any to restore. All we know is, that, iu 1795, all parties, Spaniards and Engbsli, had abandoned Nootka Sound, nnd it has urtt been re-occu pied.”—Review, p. 256, 257.
