The following communica tions wete teceived yelierday : Several letters reached Alto r>a and Hamburgh on the 14th and 15th, ffa ing, that another finart had been fought between the Pruffiari General L ftoq and a corps of Uerna do te’s a’tny at Nztiim on the Viflul-t; in which the latter was defeated with the lots of nit e pieces of cannon and 1,400 prisoners. The Kuflian head-quarters were on the 29 h January at GilgenOutghj the left tving of the army extended to the de fe>t o* Johaniidbutg, and the right re ed on the town of Bdcopyce.

The Warz’ ug Gazette, al though (o immediately under French influence, admits that the French have 101 l 20.000 I nv n in the recent affairs in P® land and Ealt Pmffia.

A courier from the Aufliian General Vincent, announcing the failute <*>f his million to lio napaitc, so far as related to Brannau, is represented to have powei fully lecondcd the appeals of the Northern Auto* ciat. To these circumrtances the movtrn nts of the Austrian troops, at an unufua) season, is a Icnlied.

A letter received,on the 6>h u’t. by a Gentleman in the neighbourhood of Brighton, from an officer lately reflated to liberty, from a French pri- s on, contains the following an ecdote: “ My confinement in the Temple, with Moreau , Georg es Pichegru , and Capt.

PROCLAMATION By the Chief of the Government oj Hayti. The numerous abuses which have taken place in the differ ent branches of the govern ment, particularly in the cul torn house department, have obliged me to take rigorous meafuies to reprels them. The notices which I have given to these haidencd and faithlefs officers, have not brought them to their duty; and my ktnd nels towards foreigners, who came to tiade in our ports, has only served as an incentive to their fraud. It is therefore necefiary to adopt severe measures, in or der to remedy theie abuses, which have deprived govern ment of its relources. Consequently, to put a Hop to such dilapidations, I do or- der as follows: 1. Every Haytian or foreign er, convibfcd of having frau dulently endeavored to land or take on board any goods, with a view to avoid the pay ment of duties, (hall be con demned to be hung, and his effects confiscated to the ufeof the Hate. 3. Every officer, convicted of having lent a hand to such fraud, shall he condemned to be hung, and his effects con fifeated to the use of the go vernment. 3. Every person convicted of having fraudulently cm barked or debai ked, from one veflel to another, any mer chandize, fliall also be con demned to be, hung, and his effects confil'cated. 4. The custom house offi cers in particular (and the o ther ofiicers of the govern ment] are charged with the ex ecution of the present order; and they (hall he considered as ✓ accomplices in all offences of this nature, of which they shall not inform. The present proclamation fliall be printed,read 6c affixed to the doors of the different cuffom'houfes, See. Given at the head quarters, at the Cape, the 30th Ja nuary, 1807, the fourth year of Independence. Chief of the Government, HENRY CHRIST'JPIiE. By his Excellency, the Se cretary of the Government. Rouanez junior. From the Connecticut Gazelle. Died, on the 15ih March, at the house of captain Levi Pal meq of Easl-iriat’uUtsii widow M/.ry Starmw, relict ?f the late Nathaniel Sparrow, ot that town. The circumstances al ter,efieg the death of tins woman are deemed so important ns to merit the notice of the public; and it is not improbable they will eyc'te to astonishment the medi cal faculty, and prompt to indus trious researches, with a view to a cqrrect elucidation of this sin gular medical phenomenon— She was corpulent to a very un usual degree; in her person and housewifery, she was vary neat and tidy. She never had any children—during he greatest part of her life, bad lived in cir cumstances of competence. For about one vear previous 10 her decease, she had been troubled with a difficulty in the oesopha gus, of swallowing; and v> lien she swallowed, t’nlter solid or liquid substances, the effort was attended with an uneasy sensati. on. This difficulty of degluti tion had. increased for scvetal of the last months of her file; & during the same period, was of- ten succeeded by retching, and a rejection of what she had swal lowed. Medical aid although faithfully administered, did not afford relief. On dissection, which was performed in the pre sence; and by the assistance of, 1 homas Mostly, M. L). (late President cf the Ccn. Med. So ciety.) Doctor Augustus Ma ther,both of East-Haddam, and Robert Usher of Chatham, the following was discovered: appearances eifter dissection — Or. laying open the integuments, the stomach appeared considera bly distended. On the left side, were several hydatide3 attached to the stomach on the outside, the contents of which wer va rious. Os some they were thin and transparent; of others, oily and glutinous &; the matter con tained in one was purulent. Some ot these contents were fee id, whilst others were fret from i ; or. The largest hyda tide contained a dark coloured water, about half a pint in quan ta . A sch.ri us was formed up on and round the left orifice of the stomach, which extended to a considerable distance. The Stomach, on being laid open, was found to contain ab;>ut a pint and an halt of a y ellowish, unctuous mucus, immersed in which were two balls oj hair —one about the size of a goose’s, the other of a hen’s egg. This hair, some ot which the writer of this article has seen, ;s of a brown color, with rather a reddish cast, re sembling cattle’s hair ; is nearly J of an equal length (about two in ches) and on being examined with a microscope, it evidently exhibits the radical, and the pointed end common to hair of that description. In that porti on of it which the writer has seen some few hairs were of a darker complexion than the generality of them; Whence it originated, or how it was conveyed into the stomach, in such a quantity, are questions which the writer will not attempt to answer. At hrst view, it may, perhaps, appeal easy to the reader to solve these queries; but after maturely re flecting on the subject, difficulties will, probably suggest them selves to his mind, which it will not be easy to obviate. It is, certainty, a very rare occurrence, and wiil, doubtless 4 give rise to different opinions among men of science. Instances, something ot a si milar nature, are recoided by different writers, liupsch men tions a tumour which was taken from a man’s stomach, that con tained hair and teeth; which tu mour he has preserved in his coilecti®n. ‘i umouvs similar to the last mentioned have been found in the ovaria—and Baity mentions ore, (among others), which he had hiinselt discovered containing hair mixed wuh a latty subaiance, and ihe body of a tooth covered with the enamel. I find no mention of any tuihour of this description, which diet not contain a busy substance also, whether it was ior! : nrtach or ovarium. instance here record? ‘ ,1 “ pear- to have been die kind.
