Spanish colonies of 8onth America to the sway ol 



aijther country. These, however, with many othfr 



iUr reports are entitled to little credit. The fact, 



bpclicve, is that the war is substantially finislied, and 



Trench armies are on their way to I'rance, having 



loinplished what were slated to have been their ob- 



ts, viz. to set Ferdinand at liberty, and enable hlin 



bestow on his kingdom such h constitution as to his 



'al clemency may seem meet. It appears to he tlie 



lical creed of these regenerators of Spanish despot- 



that the people of Spain are not only the King's 



ijects, but hispToperly, and can enjoy neither rights 



privileges excepting what he pleases to favour them 



h. That the people were created for the sole use of 



King ; and that all riglit as well as power has its 



ill in the crown, of which the people are vassals. 



is we farmers would call '' putting the cart before 



se." It is like setting a building on its ridge 



e, " tlie pinnacle for its fouudatiiin." The fountain 



jower is or should be, the will of the people, not of a 



d and effeminate individual. We hope, howt^ver, 



t King Log will not turn to a.tcoi'/i/on, but that Fer- 



and, although a despotic, may not prov'e a cruel and 



dictive monarch. 



\'euli/ constructed Mnsl. — An Fnglish paper says, the 

 roa, 74, Capt. Sir Thomas Livingston, is ordered to 

 nediately to try the newly constructed mast, 

 ich consists of a much greater number of pieces than 

 etnfore. A considerable saving is contemplated by 

 , not only in the original purchase of the timber, 

 in the event of the mast sustaining injury, the sound 

 Ls will be easily convertible. 



DOMESTIC. 

 lage Accirltnts. — On the ICth nit. the driver of the 

 1 stage left his seat to open the gate of the toll 

 ?, at Schenectady, N. Y. and the horses, being 

 ed at the violence wilh which the gate opened, 

 denly wheeled round and overset the stage. Mr. 

 ■wster, of Herkim'T, one of the passengers, was tak- 

 ip as dead, and his life is said to be in great j eopar- 

 Major S. Clark, of Utica, also received a very dao- 

 >us wouiid on the head. 



n the 21 5t «lt. as the Boston Mail Stage was cross- 

 thc Hudson, mar Albany, the scow m which the 

 e was, had got on the opposite side, and was fasfen- 

 "lli a chain, while the driver was in the act of 

 : on shore, which the two leading horses had gain- 

 Ihe chain by which the scow was fastened suddcn- 

 ave way and precipitated the horses back into the 

 r, and the two wheel horses were drowned. Two 

 ers were in the stage at the time, one of whom 

 oed ashore, and the other was saved by getting in- 

 skiff. The mail was thoroughly soaked, and it be- 

 e necessary to dry it before it could be sent to its 

 e of destination. 



ocfang Accident, — A young man, by the name of 



K)h Rogers, lately fell from the fore yard of the sch. 

 ner lying at a wharf in Nantucket, struck his 

 I on the railing, and immediately expired, his brains 

 Igf literally dashed out ! The poor fellow was 

 d to exclaim " save me." He left a wife and 



7)-ge Steer.— On the 28th of last month Mr. 3. 

 t, of Clarke County, drove a steer through Paris. 

 . on his way to Cincinnati, which was raised by him, 

 is said to be the largest in America, or pei'haps in 

 .vorld. He is 8 years old, is judged to be seventeen 

 Is high, to measure from 11 to 12 feet from the end 

 le nose to the root of tail, and, and to weigh 3000 

 , or 4000 gross. — Ifestern paper. 

 lis steer somewhat surpasses the '' Prodigous Lin- 

 hi'e Ox," one of John Bull's Phenomena, whose 

 weight was 3712 lbs. See N. E. Far. v. ii. p. 47. 



luse of the Greeks. — A late No. of the N'ew York 

 :sman informs that a considerable sum has been 

 1 in that city to aid " the patriot spirits, who are 

 illantly fighting to recover the long lost liberties 

 reece, and we have th; pleasure to state that U- 

 lan Robert M'Queen has this morning presented to 

 ireek nation a superior 42 pound gun, cast at his 

 fouudcry." 



The JVealhcr. — On comparing the observations for 

 publication in this paper, the present year, with those 

 of the last, we find that the mean temperature of the 

 moulh of October last year was 50 1-2", and the pre- 

 si:nt year 48°. The mean temperature of the month 

 of November 1822, was 44", and that of the same 

 month in 1823, 35 1-2°. From this comparison it ap- 

 pears that the average heat of the month of October 

 has been 2 1-2 degrees less than that of October last 

 yiar, and the average heat of November, 8 1-2 degrees 

 less than that of the same month last year. 



Daili/ Advertiser. 



Yellow Fever existed in New Orleans at the date of 

 the last accounts from that quarter. A Watches paper, 

 dated Oct. 27lh, says, " the last mail brought intelli- 

 gence of several late deaths, and of others recently 

 I taken down with the disease." 



Baron de Scheck.^ a distinguished Botanist, has arriv- 

 I ed at Norfolk from the West Indies, on his way to 

 the northern cities. We understand from the Nor- 

 folk Deacon that he is desirous of making the Horti- , 

 culturists of the United States acquainted with the ' 

 properties of the vegetable called the »4rr«foc/(«, and 

 the manner of cultivating this excellent vegetable. 

 From the terms of commendation bestowed on it as an 

 esculent, we should be gratified to learn that an ex- 

 periment was about to be made, to test its adaptation 

 to our soil and climate. — Bos. Gas. 



An interesting volume, under the titlf of "Vermont 

 State Papers,^'* compiled by authority, has been lately 

 published, containing an account of the ctmtroversies 

 in which that state was engaged from the year 1779, 

 daring a period of twenty-five years. VN'e wish that 

 works of this description were published in every stale 

 in the Union, under the inspection of the government. 

 They would furnish a mass of authentic materials, which 

 would be invaluable to future historians of our country, 

 and render their histories invaluable to the world.

We learn from Montpelier, that the following gentle- 

 men have been elected by the legislature, trustees of the 

 university of Vermont. 



Jonas Galusha, Robert Pierpout, Charles Adams, 

 Rev. Mr. Hoyt, Joseph U. Farnsworth, Pam'l Prentiss. 

 Isaac Fletcher, Horace Everett, Hon. Samuel C- Allen, 

 of Mass. and Salma Hale of N. H. 



The prospects of this institution are flattering, and it 

 seems to be rising in the scale of importance and use- 

 fulness. From a catalogue, just published it appears 

 there are 53 Students belonging to the four classes, and 

 55 Medical students. In February, 1822, there were 

 but 20 students attached to the University. 



Domestic Manufactures. — The New-Jersey Legisla- 

 ture has incorporattd the Messrs. Haights and others 

 of New York, for the purpose of manufacturing ingrain 

 carpeting, and other goods, at the Little Falls, with a 



capital of $200,000. 



Mot in Sheep. — Dried JunipiT Berries are the best 

 antidote against this destructive epidemic. As soon as 

 the slightest symptoms of it appear in a flock, a hand- 

 ful of these berries should be given for every two sheep 

 per day, and to be continued until all apprehension is 

 removed. 



Summer Squashes. — There was raised, in the year 

 1822. by Capt. Sylvanus Watriss, of this village, two 

 hundred and twenty one Summer Squashes, from one 

 seed. Each Squash, by actual count, contained, on an 

 average, 170 seeds. Producing, 37,570 fold. — We 

 place this to the credit of the fertile banks of Con- 

 necticut river. Who among us would wish to exchange 

 them for Mississipian swamps, issuing forth snakes, al- 

 ligators, pestilence and death. — Windsor Vt. Journal.

J.\CK FOFl SALi;. 



BARBAROSSA, a Jack, bred by the snb=rriher, from 

 a large Spanish Jennet, and sired by an icnport- 

 ed .Maltese Jack of the pure Onagra stock, is ollVrr d for 

 sale. He is now two years and four months old, 

 measures 14, and will, when at bis full growth, un- 

 doubtedly exceed 15 hands in height— uniting the botic 

 and power of the laige Spanish breed, with th, spiril, 

 activity and vigor of the Maltese. At the lale (xhihi- 

 tion al Brighton, he was pronounced, by several gen- 

 tlemen of respectibility, who have examined thi-> spe- 

 cies of stock in Spain, the Islands in the Heditiraiitan, 

 and in South America, to be superior to any they 

 ever saw. 



BarcArossa is perfectly docile and kind, was kept 

 with a Filly imnu.diately after weaning, and has ;jro- 

 pensities, seldom found in imported Jacks, which raust 

 enhance his value in the estimation of those accustom- 

 ed to breeding mules. A full warranty of his powers 

 will accompany the bill of sale — and the subscriber has 

 no hesitation in asserting that he is equal to the cele- 

 brated Jack, Compound., bred by Gen. Washington ; 

 (being of the same grade) and that he is superior to 

 any now in the United States or that can be imported. 



If not applied for speedily he will be shipped to the 

 Island of Cuba, where a much higher price can be ob- 

 tained than is now asked. S. W. POMEROY.
