 April, 1806. — " Yon will probably alrea- 

 tlv know that the Unfllan Embally was 

 oijhdied to turn back when arri\ed at 

 the Great Wall of China. P)iit new and 

 unexpected will no donbt be the agrce- 

 al)le intelliu;ence that Mr. Uxuowskv, 

 the botanift attached to this embally, has 

 received from his Majcfty the Emperor a 

 new extraordinary eoi7inii(Vion to under- 

 take a Liotunical tour in the extreme 

 parts of the north-calt of Alia. On the 

 5th of May he will leave Irkut/k, and fail 

 down the Lena to .Takut/k ; Irom that 

 place he will proceed up the Aldan to its 

 Imn-ces in the Mongolian mountains. 

 Thefc, as well as the Jablonoi-Chrclvt, 

 (Apple JMountains,) will he examincfl as 

 far as the I'Laftorn Ocean. He will ihen 

 proceed along the coalt as far as Ochollk, 

 where he hopes to arrive in September. 

 From Ochotik he will either go l.>y land 

 round the Peuli liin (iulf to Ivanitfchat- 

 ka, or by lea to BoHcheret/k, where he 

 iiitends to pnfs the winter. In the fum- 

 merof 1807 the Knrili lllands will be ex- 

 amined as far as poflible towards Japan, 

 and the Aleutian lllands as far as the 

 continent, of America. On his return he 

 ^vill vilit Bering's llland and the Copper 

 llland?-. After paliing the winter in 

 J\aniiihalka, the third lummer's lour will 

 be to Sagalien, and the illands at the 

 mouth of the Amur, and thence he will

 ellow Mouiiolia and Nertfchiiilk; 

 Dttvurira and Sibcna. 



Slit' den. 

 Dr. Westuixg, phyllcian tOiAeKinij 

 of Sweden has obtained excclleut dyes 

 from diilcrent fpecies of chib-mofs, /j/ro- 

 piHlium. I'l.'e following is the m.-thod 

 which he has found to be the inoft inn])ie : 

 Take a rjuantity ol' this mofs, dried and 

 chopped, nearly double the weight ol' the 

 cloth to be dyed. Put them into a pro- 

 per veU'el, a Itratum of the mofs between 

 every fold of the cloth, and pour on a 

 (juantity of water futticient to cover the 

 whole. Boil them together for two or 

 three hours, adrling more water from 

 time to time, to fupply the place of what 

 is waited by evaporation. Take out the 

 cloth thus prepared, wring it, and hang 

 it up to dry without rinfiug. Wiien the 

 cloth is to bi) dyed, it mull be rinfed 

 carefully in cold water, put into a well- 

 tinned copper with cold water, and a 

 fmall (juaniity of brazil, and then boiled 

 gently for half an hour or more, accord- 

 ing as the tint is to be deeper or lighter. 

 Tf too nmch brazil be ufed, the dye w ill 

 have a violet hue. When it is taken 

 from the lire, the cloth is to be linl'ed in 

 cold water. Care mull be taken that 

 none of the counnon mordants, either 

 lidine or aftringent, are ufed, for they 

 would alter the colour. 



])r. Westring hiis found that the 

 bark of the .Scotch fir is an excellent to- 

 nic, and may be fuccefslully ufed in fevc- 

 ral convullive difeafes, even epilepfy, and 

 that it may be fnbftituted for the ciu-r 

 cliona. In fonie parts of Sweden it i.s 

 made into bread, which is faid to be im-» 

 tritious ;uid palatable. 



Dcnmarh. 

 In the conrfe of the next year a great 

 alteration in the ellablilhed worthip iscx- 

 pecied to take place in the Danilh doini- 

 uions. The preieut liturgy, which was 

 iramcd under Chriliian V., and publiflied 

 fo long fnice as 108.5, has long been felt 

 to be little adapted to the liberal and e\\-. 

 lightened principk's of the nineteenth 

 ccnturv. With a view to bring about a 

 fuitablc refonnation in this branch, the 

 Bight Bev. P. O. Boisr.N Bilhop of J.o- 

 land and I'allter, has com])ofed a Plan of 

 Im|)rovcnient in Public Worlhip, which 

 in the latter end of lalt year he fubmit- 

 ted in manufcript to the conlideration of 

 Government, deliring, however, that be-, 

 fore any refolution lliould be taken upon 

 it, it might be printed, and intelligent di- 

 vines c;;llcd ujion to give in their opini- 

 ons with rcfpcct to it. This has according-
