proceodmg from vitiation; Affections of the Liver;
Chronic mtlammation of the Kidneys and General De
bility, caused by a torpid action of the vessels of the
skin. It. is singularly efficacious in renovating those
constitutions which have been broken down by injudi
cious treatment, or juvenile irregularities. In general
terms, it is recommended in all those diseases which
arise from impurities of the blood, or vitiation of the
humors, of whatever name or kind.
Some of the above complaints may require some
assistant applications, which the circumstances of the
case will dictate ; but for a general remedy or Purifi

generally be found sufficient.
The following certificates, out of hundreds similar
which might be procured, are given to show the effect
of the Indian’s Panacea, in the various complaints
therein mentioned ; and also lo exhibit in the most sa-
tisfactory manner its superiority over the syrups in
common use.
Chakleston. N w. 15, 1831.
During the last, winter and spring. I was afflicted
with a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occa
sioned by exposure in bad weather. I now take great
pleasure in stating, that six bottles of Indian Pana
cea, restored me to perfect health, and I confidently
recommend it to all similarly afflicted.
JOHN FERGUSON, King sf.
Ch arleston, July 12, 1831.
I was afflicted four years with an ulcer in the leg,
occasionally accompanied with erysipelatious inflama
tion and an excessive pain in the leg and ancle joint.
Several eminent Physicians exerted their skill upon it,
hut without permanent benefit. In this case, five bot
tles of the Indian Panacea made aperfect cure.

If thou would’st have me sing and play,
As once I played and ung,
First lake this time-worn lute away,

But how is this? though new the lute,
And shining fresh ihe chords,
Beneath this hand they slumber mute,
Or speak but dreamy words.
In vain I seek the soul that dwelt
Within that once sweet shell,
Which told so warmly wha it felt,
And felt what naught could tell.
Oh ‘ ask not then, for passion’s lay,
From lute so coldly strung ;
With this 1 ne’er can sing or play

Will thaw them into song.

[Kotzebue’s Travels in Italy, 1790.]’
SERIAL VOYAGE OF ZAMBECCARI.
The fullflwing account of this truly hazard
ous excursion is particularly entitled to notice,
as none hut trivial, flimsy, and inaccurate
statements on the subject, had before appear
ed.
After passing many well-deserved compli
ments on the daring seronnnt, whom he calls
‘ the man of steel,’ M. Kotzebue thus de-
scribes his voyage :
‘■Qa-the *2191 of August, at midnight, on
the discharge of three cannons, the balloon
was brought out of the church Delle Aequo
(where it had been prepared) to the nearest
meadow : it was thirty Bolognese feet (some
thing more than five-and-thirty Parisian feet)
in diameter. A circular lamp, with spirits of
wine, was inserted, which had twenty-four
holes round it,all provided with covers to open
or shut quickly, as was necessary to increase
or deaden the flame. The weight of the
whole machine, together with the two trav
ellers and their equipage, amounted to 810
Bolognese pounds, to which must be reckoned
as much ballast as was requisite.
At three in the morning the process of fill
ing was begun. From sixteen tuns, which
stood in a circle round two great vats filled
with water, the gas was secreted, and ascend
ed pure into the balloon.
The management of the chemical appara
tus went forward smoothly. It was previously
determined to fill two thirds of the balloon.
In the space of an hour it began to move,
and the prescribed measure of filling would
have been soon effected, if frequent interrup
tion had not occurred.
At six in the morning three reports of can
non called ail the spectators out of the city.
They flocked in immense crowds to the spot.
Those provided with tickets of admittance
filled the inclosure, and the populace climbed
the hills around. The spectacle was grand
and impressive. Every eve was fixed on the
serial adventurers, who were preparing for
their perilous flight with the most tranquil
precaution.
The chemical operations being now com
pleted, the car was laden, and the ballast
taken in. At half alter ten Zambeccari and
Andreoli entered the car. At first they tried
the effect of the rudders. They threw out
five-and-twenty pounds weight, and then
mounted as high as fifty-five feet (being yet
held by a-rope.) At this height they moved
the rudder, and the machine followed with
much regularity the motion of the rudder in
a descending direction, thus overpowering the
weight of twenty-five pounds.
A second experiment was now made. The
twenty-five pounds thrown out were again
taken in, and five pounds additional; conse
quently the whole weight now exceeded the,
ascending force by five pounds. Not more |
than two small lighted flames were requisite,’
to swell the balloon visibly; and the air thus!
rarified, raised it slowly the length of the:
cord. But as soon as the effect of two flames
was destroyed bv the covers, the balloon re
laxed again and sunk down gently.
The third trial consisted in lighting six
small flames, the effect of which was so much
the more rapid. The balloon, however, did j
not sink the instant the flames were extin
guished ; hut kept its height for about two
minutes longer, which time appeared neces
sary to bring its temperature into equilibrium
with the circumambient air. It descended
with a gentle and uniform motion as before.
Afier ihese’ experiments, the adventurers
disposed themselves for their departure. They
first examined the weight of the whole ma
chine, and satisfied themselves that a prepon
derance of a few pounds would give it an in
clination downwards. Eight more flames
were now lighted, the cord was slackened,
and the ascent instantly commenced, at ten
minutes before eleven. The barometer stood
at 27 Parisian inches 7 lines; Reaumer’s
thermometer at 17, 33. It blew a gentle wes
tern breeze. The thunder of the mountain
of St. Michael saluted the serial voyagers six
times.
The ascension was so gradual and regular,
that the shaking of the car by the agitation
of the air on firing the cannon was very visi
b!e. A few scattered clouds passed along the
sky ; the day was calm; the wind very still,
rather changeable at different heights, but
the most so on the earth. As this last cir-
cumstance prevented the ha-toon from re
moving to any great distance :n its direction,
it remained almost in the view of die specta
tors.
t rom the tops of al! the hills, and from the
steeples, the eager eye pursued it to the very
time of its falling. The aVrettding motion
was very various, accordingly as the balloon
cut through different degrees of the atmos
phere. At first, it went southward, then
westward, at Jength norihwc’d, and in this
direction ii went off for Bologna. The tero
nants made constant nnnoeuvtes, which af
forded them the following .observations:
1. The abovementionttd art of changing
the temperature of the lolloon a!
entirely fulfilled theirexpdctaU ns. By a sin
gle additional flame, they in moment has
tened Ihe ascension; or, op t contrary, re- !
tarded it by applying the ?>>> ... W bile they j
kept a settled number ol jl is burning, the I
balloon was also kept at ; regular height:, l
but the instant a single - wtv applied, n ;
began to sink again.
2. On j
stud was ms ia pm ars on moating them.
A minute would pass in the former case lie
fore the rising of the bailoon ceased, and it
inclined to fail again by degrees.
3. They observed a peculiarity in the a have
respect once or twice. When the balloon
was at rest, it began sometimes to rise back
ward. without any change in the fire. This
anomaly Zambeccari ascribed to the different
temperature of the surrounding atmosphere ;
which was perhaps occasioned by the sun’s
beams, or their reflection in the clouds.
4. This trifle excepted, it was perfectly'easy
for them to guide the vertical motion, and to
raise or let themselves down at pleasure, or
to remain at any particular height. An ex
periment they made in our sight, by descend
ing from a great elevation to five hundred
feet only above the earth, and then soaring
aloft again to their former distance.
5. During the whole journey, the height in
dicated by the state of the barometer perlect
•y accorded with the notices given by what
Zambeccari calls his anemometrical scale of
movements. The least height of the barom
eter was twenty Parisian inches; consequent
ly the balloon did not rise above 6998 Bo
lognese feet. The least height of the ther
mometer was nine degress.
6. Ihe balloon once cut through a cloud,
not very thick, which suddenly dissolved !
Neither by the approach of clouds, nor by
touching them, are any sensible marks of elec
tricity to be found in them. The cloud there
fore was probably dispersed by the pressure
of the balloon acting upon it; at least, tiie
travellers perceived no traces of moisture as
they passed through it.
At one in the afternoon the balloon hovered
over Cape D’Argine, a slage on the road to
Ferara, six miles from Bologna. A breeze
carried it north-west. The travellers in (he
beginning were not displeased with this; but,
on the one hand, the wind w'as too weak to
drive them to a great distance; and on the
other hand, the powers of two men were
scarcely sufficient for governing the balloon,
and at the same time making the necessary
observations. To moderate or strengthen
the fire of the lamp according to the necessity
ol circumstances; to observe the barometer,
thermometer, as well as the compass ; to ex
amine the situation of the balloon at every
movement; these were the anxious difficul
ties of the travellers, who by the slightest
error might he brought into danger. Zim-
beeeari resolved, therefore, cn descending,
and in this operation the balloon obeyed once
more, to their greatest astonishment, the will
of its conductors. Thousands of spectators
were witnesses of it, and, at the request of
ihe Academy of Sciences, the police had it
committed to formal testimony.
As the (balloon approached tiie earth, it
hovered over a foggy land, which appeared
to the adventurers to be a rice field. In an
instant they lighted up two flames; and, on
rising again, perceived a field at a distance of
two hundred yards, that presented no obsta
cle, they let themselves sink. The anchor,
with a cable of seventy feet, was now thrown
out, and seized an elm branch. The inhab
itants ran to it with shouts and acclamations,
and received the strangers with cordiality.
But shipwreck awaited them in the very
port. The balloon descended in a crooked
direction; pari of it yielding to the weight,
and part to the force of the wind; No soon
er had the anchor fastened, than the cable
became entangled; and the car received a
blow, which inclined the balloon so much side
ways, that the inflammable spirits were split.
The flame spread immediately about the car,
which was unfortunately wet*with what had
thus run over. Enveloped in flame, and con
fused by the suddenness of the danger, the
travellers had not the presence of mind to in
crease the ascending power instantly to the
necessary degree for preventing a further in
clination downwards. The balloon fell with
its whole weight to the earth; and this new
and violent shock caused a still greater over
flow of the spirits that fed the (lame already
raging. To this was added the calamity of
the fire reaching a bottle containing about
thirty pounds of spirits, which suddenly kin
dled with a loud report. The considerable
diminution of the weight occasioned the ma
chine to rebound upwards with a great ve
hemence, while the anchor still kepi it from
an ascent. The fall, the shock, and the re
bound, were the work of a moment. The
entangled cord threatened to break the rudder
in pieces. Two men climbed up the ropes,
and tried in this manner to hold ihe balloon.
In the mean time the adventurers, surround
ed bv fire in the air, cried out to those below
to pull the ropes. Their clothes and instru
ments, the net, and the ropes of the car, all
were on fire. Zambeccari poured a bottle of
water over his head, and by that means suc
ceeded so far as to exiinguisli ihe fire imme
diately around him. His” companion, in order
to save himself, quickly climbed down by the
cable; but, from his haste, and the violent
shaking, he lost his hold, was tossed against
some object, and fell very heavily to the
ground. As the balloon had in this manner
suddenly lost so much weight, it shook about
and drove upwards with a violence that was
no longer to be restrained. The two men
who had climbed up to it, and had l>een ter
rified by Andreoli’s fail, could do longer resist
the violent agitation of the cords, and were
flung backwards.
At that instant the machine rose with a
frightful rapidity. The tottering of the car
caused bv the shock still continued ; it might
be easily perceived, and appeared to all the
spectators to forbode no good. As long as
the eve could follow Zambeccari, he wasseen
occupied in freeing his clothes from the fire,
and in extinguishing or throwing out as well
as he could every thing burning which sur
rounded him. But the balloon was soon en
tirely out of sight; it mounted to an aston
ishing height, and was driven north-westward.
This whole catastrophe was the work of three
minutes.
In spite of the equilibrium being thus de
stroyed, Which had been sought for with so
much diligence, Zintheccari did not lose his
courage; but what resources could even ge
nius and industry offer him in so desperate a
situation ? He hovared about at such a mon-
strous height, that, in his own language, the
clouds appeared to him like an abyss. How
high he really went, lie could not possibly as
certain, as his barometer was broken hv the
fall; hut his hands, which were already in a
bad condition, suffered (lie severest* cold.
However he did not rise quite so high as
might reasonably have been expected.” He
looked about him, and concluded from the
laxity of the lower part of the machine, that
it admitted of a greater expansion. A blad
der filled with air which he had still in reserve,
gave him moreover a tolerable accurate mea
sure for the expansion of the balloon at that
time, which had even at this dreadful height,
some folds. These marks satisfied him of
the danger of a sudden fail by the sides of
the balloon coming together.
\\ bile he was thus suspended between hope
and fear, a gale caught the balloon, and car
ried it rapidly over the Adriatic sea. At t\i
in the afternoon he was perceived in those
quarters, but at so great a distance dial it
was not possible to distinguish - i-'.ts. Bv
tor balloon descended into the
the Italian coast. A part of the car sunk into
the water, and Zambeccari himself stood half
his body immersed. Hoping to reach the
shore, or to meet with some vessel, lie cast
his anxious loooks around, hut perceived only
sky and water. Still his courage did not for
sake him: he thought that he could not he
fr from the coast; and the wind, which blew
favorably for that quarter, would, he expect
ed, carry him thither.
But after he had waited a long time, and
no coast appeared in the horizon, he wished,
by climbing up ihe rope so as to have ht3
whole body out of the water, to secure him
self at least against sleep or stupefaction ; and
for that purpose drew the cable after him,
which hung on his left side in the sea. But
how great was his astonishment, to find that
that the anchor had caught at the bottom,
and consequently prevented the balloon from
moving! He instantly saw” the necessity ‘of
cutting the cable: but by what means vvas
he to effect this? he had no instruments, nor
even the use of his hands ; for his right hand
was frozen, and the left shattered. Necessi
ty prompted his invention : he broke the lens
of a telescope, seized the cord with his teeth,
and gnawed it through ; which, from its be
ing wet and made of silk, was the more prac
ticable. At length he succeeded in getting
his machine afloat: a fair wind drove it to
wards the Italian coast; and Zambeccari did
the utmost in his power, by using his arms
as a rudder to help it forward.
After proceeding nearly fifteen miles’ in
manner, he met sewn fishing smacks that had
run out from Magnavacca. The first four, as
soon as they perceived the singular machine
on the water, were struck with a panic, and
instantly made away from it. Fortunately
the # three others were less fearful. They
however approached very slowly and cau
tiously; but when they perceived the object
distinctly, one of them spread her sails, and
made all possible haste towards it.
It was indeed now becohie absolutely ne
cessary that something should be done for
his preservation; the car continued to sink
deeper, and the water literally reached to his
neck. The fishermen did their utmost; but
the act of saving him was attended not mere
ly with trouble but with danger. They in
vain tried to retain the ballon ; which, as
soon as it was lighted, rose up with great ve
hemence, and took a direction first towards
Comachio, and afterwards to the Levant.
The hospitable fishermen used every means
in their power to refresh their guest. Not
withstanding the fatigues he had undergone,
his vigorous mind still maintained its energy.
He spent a tolerable tranquil night, on board
the hark; and the next morning he reached
Magnavacca, and proceeded thence to Co
machio, where the delegate of the prefective
received him with the greatest kindness.
In the mean time how anxious a solicitude
did his uncertain destiny excite in every
breast at Bologna ! Even this, however, was
scarcely equalled bv the tumult of exultation
with which Zambeccari was received there
on his return. It was lire triumph of philoso
phy. The only diminution of this unbound
ed joy was the unfortunately critical state of
his health. It was feared that he would lose
his right hand ; hut he has fortunately escap
ed with the loss of two fingers of it: and let
us hope that the happy result of this dreadful
event, will he the future completion offan ex
pc 4 .merit to govern the balloon at pleasure.

IRISH CUNNING.
We learn from the last Detroit Post, that
a volunteer in Miss Victoria’s service, finding
a canoe upon the beach near Malden, got
into it, and started on a voyage of discovery.
When he had got some distance from the
shore he was discovered by the officer of the
day, who ordered six men into a hoat and
gave chase. He pursued the voyager to the
American shore, and in his ardor he forgot
that he vvas out of British territory, and seized
the deserter ; a citizen told the man that he
vvas free and need not go hack unless he wish
ed ; one of t he officer’s men, an Irishman,
hearing this, exclaimed— 1 If that spalpeen be
free, so is every mother’s son of us! So ye
may jist go home my jewel,’ addressing bis
officer, ‘and tell the* kurnel that ye left us
here to take care of the prisoner!’ ‘Tut,
tut,’ said the officer ‘get into the hoat men.’
‘ Arrah !’ said Put, ‘ I have some republican
blood in me, besides it is doubtful hut that
Gineral Jac.kon is some kin to me; the gin
eral is a rale Irishman, barring he came to
•Amenity two years before he was born /’ The
officer had to hire men to row him back, and
report seven men deserted.
Battles in Florida. —Of all humbugs of the
present day, none can exceed tliaT of the
t lorida \\ ar. We are gravely informed hv
the b lorida Herald, that ‘sixteen Indians have
been captured !!’ And alter complimenting

on the occasion, informs its readers that the
Indians captured consisted of one man, two
boys, and the rest women and children. Pro
digious!! Surely three companies of Dra
goons can never again achieve such a victory.
By the same paper, we learn that on the
-l* l I s * B * month, Capt. T ompkins came up
with an Indian Camp, and after a severe en
gagement in which the officers and men dis
tinguished themselves alike for braverv and
courage, succeeded in capturing the camp.
But unfortunately for the captain’s military
lame, the Indians had left several days previ
ous. A company has also lately succeeded
in capturing a wild turkey that vvas shot hv
an Indian, the Indian himself making a very
narrow escape. A few more such brilliant
victories, and the Florida war will he at an
end.
