Cheese. — In the township of Aurora, Portage county, 

 tiio, there has been made, during the past season, 

 u hundred and Iwtnly-fii-e. thousand pounds of cheese. 

 bis, for an area of five miles square, in a new country,

FOREIGN. 



The English Parliament was to have met in Janua 

 , hut has since been prorogued to the 23d of Febru- 

 y, which delay is considered to be an indication of 

 Qtinued peace. 



The last London dates are to the 29th Nov. The 

 per! affirm that the French Government had dis- 

 ,imed any intention of assisting Spain in recovering 

 ■ South American Colonies. It appears, however, 

 it the King of Spain is dedicating a part of his (»i- 

 iant labors to the affairs of his Colonies,' and (he 

 ssian .Embassador to Spain has intimated that his 

 ster is willing to assist him in recovering his power 

 tiis " numerous kingdoms," including " his domin- 

 s in both Worlds." 

 rhe London papers also assert that Ferdinand and 



French Prince have quarrelled, and were at dead- 

 variance, and that the latter had left the kingdom in 

 in. But probably this news was manufactured 

 London, for the use of the printers. There is every 



earance that Spain will settle down quietly under 

 despotism, and their Monarch remain firmly seated 



a throne supported by servility and supersti- 

 I, the pillars of all absolute governments.

Wednesday, Jan. 7. A Report of the Secretary of 

 War, respecting certain contracts for cannon, on mo- 

 tion of Mr. Cocke was referred to a Select Committee. 



This day was chiefly occupied in a debate relative 

 to a contested election from the 29th District of the 

 State of New-York between Isaac Wilson and Parme- 

 nio Adams. The question was whether a printed bal- 

 lot, having the stroke of a pen drawn through it, should 

 or should not be admitted as a valid vote. The print- 

 ed letters were distinctly legible, but a dash with a pen 

 was dr.awn across the whole name ; on this account 

 the inspectors rejected the vote and it was not counted. 

 The omission of this ballot, after the deduction on each 

 side for erroneous returns, gave Mr. Adams a majority 

 of one. The House decided that this vote ought to 

 be omitted, and that Mr. Adams was entitled to a seat.
