NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



FOREIGK SUMMARY. 



Intelligence from London as late as the 13th of June 



A3 been received by the ship Nestor^- an-ived in New 



ork from Livcrp ool. A London article of that date 



ifirm? that advioes had been received from Conslanti- 



ople to the lUh May, conUrniins the pacific nev.-s of 



le evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia by the 



iil 'urkish troops. Russian vessels were clearing at 



pj idessa for Constantinople ; and sevc-ral vessels have 



een insured at Lloyd's from capture or seizure by the 



urks, at one per cent. 



It appears that the unfortunate Greeks are still suf- 

 •iring all tiiat tlie most savage ferocity can inflict un- 

 Jijer the domination of the Musselmen. Two Trench 

 ntlemen, visiting the island of Scio, represented the 

 vvn as pillaged and destroyed, and the streets filled 

 ith the festering remains of the bulchered Inhabitants. 

 he women and children were articles of commerce, 

 )th at Constantinople and Smyrna. The Turkish 

 2et was to sail from Scio about the 3d of May, which 

 arcs little hopes of their having been defeated by the 

 reeks. 



The Belgrade accounts are very unfavorable to tl'.e 

 reeks. The Pacha of Salonichi had received rein- 

 l^rcemcnts, and defeated the Greeks. After this he 

 II upon thirty Greek villages, and carried away the 

 omen and children as slaves. 



The King of France, in reply to the Address of the 

 hamber of Peers says, " since the opening of the ses- 

 >n I have received accounts which assure that peace 

 11 not be disturbed in the East 

 it is stated that the accounts received from the South 

 id West of Ireland continue more and more deplora- 

 e. The assistance given to the poor has been ex- 

 •mely liberal ; but their wants exceed the donations. 

 Dublin paper states that " a million of men, women 

 d children are starving — are actually dying of hun- 

 r, and in one of the finest seasons ever remembered ; 

 malignant fever, with every appearance of the v/orst 

 .Tiptoms of pestilence has set in." 

 The recognition of the Independence of tlie South 

 nerican nations, by the United States, has been re- 

 ived in Spain ; but no measures have been taken on 

 e subject. 



The bill for throwing open the West India Islands to 

 trade of all nations had passed the House of Com- 

 itls, btt'n wad a first time in the House of LOrds,'and 

 is said win become a law. ' 



As an illustration of the singular character of the

 )ineter was some d-:grees above the freezing point it. 

 issia and Sweden, they were skating a?i(( drivinj 

 .iueaux at Madrid through the whole of January, 

 d several persons were frozen to death in the streets 

 Lisbon . 



The last accounts frem Spain, which are to the 31st 

 Jime, indicate a crazed and unsettled state of socic- 

 Troops of partizans are in arms against the gov- 

 iment. These insurgents who style themselves roy- 

 ts, are <^mmonly headed by priests or monks, arid 

 :a banners were inscribed', " The K^ng and the 

 OSS."' They have been often defeated, but rise from 

 ery oveellirow with apparently renovated strer.gth 

 fresh exertions. The Cortes were in session, but 

 ■re said to be perplexed, bewildered and wavering 

 tlieir councils. They had fixed the standing army 

 182-', at 62,043 men. 

 The Cortes have issued a Manifesto on South Amer- 

 m affairs, in which they invoke the Powers of Europe 

 t to recognize the Independence of the New States 

 South America. 



A duel was fought in Paris, in the beginning of June, 

 • two members of the Chamber of Deputies, Benja- 

 i:i Constant and Forbin des Isarts. They were at- 

 nded by liro seconds each. The former being lame, 

 id unable to stand, they were both provided with 

 airs, and in that way exchanged two shots withov.t 

 feet ; when the seconds interfered.

"1 DOMESTIC SUMMARY. 



c Slaves. — The Emperor of Russia has derided th< 

 ■ IPstlon submitted to him by the U. States and G. Bri 



J. m, in relation to slaves carried away during the lati 

 ar by the British— that the U. States arc entitled to : 



' St indeaiiiificalion for all such slaves carried away. 



Riot at the Slnle Prison. 

 On the first inst. there was a formidable insurrec- 

 tion at the Slate Prison in Charlestown. It com- 

 menced by an attack made on one Chadwick, who had 

 rendered himself obnoxious to the prisoners by giving 

 evidence against Green, not long since convicted and 

 executed. It is said that for nearly two hours the riot- 

 ers had the ascendancy, and were not quelled till after 

 they Iiad set fire to the work shops in the yard, and had 

 been repeatedly fired upon by the guard. A large 

 number of the citizens of Boston and Charlestown were 

 collected, including Eire Companies, and a party of 

 Marines from the Nr.vy Yard. The principal of the 

 riot, and several others were wounded, the former, it is 

 supposed mortally. 'I'he culprits were at length drive '.i 

 to their wards and secured. 



J\Vg;-o Plot. — A plot has been formed by the negroes of 

 Charleston, S. C. to massacre the white people. They 

 formed themselves info a society, and held meetings at a 

 farm, which they could approach by water to avoid be- 

 ing stopped by any patroles. They intended to have 

 provided themselves with passes so as to deceive the 

 guard, and place themselves at certain parts of the ci- 

 ty ; then a party was to secure the guard at the guard 

 house, and an indiscriniinatc massacre v\as to com- 

 mence on all whites, who appeared in the streets, and 

 particularly to prevent any company from forming. — 

 Also to prevent the bells from tinging to give any a- 

 larni. A negro who was solicited to join the gang de- 

 clined, and gave information to his owners by which 

 means the conspirators were arrested, and some of (hem 

 condemned to be executed. 



SoLO.MoN SouTnwicK, Esq. the Editor of the Plough 

 Boy, has been nominated a candidate for Governor of 

 the State of New York, in opposition to Judge Yati's. 

 This event took place, says the Albany Argus, at " a 

 very numerous meeting of Republicans," in which the 

 " Capitol was crowded to excess, and the citi.-^en? ani- 

 mated by Uie fire of seventy-six and ninety-eight." 



It is reported that another challenge has passed be- 

 tween Col. Cumining and Mr. M'Duffic, and that the 

 meeting is fixed for the 10th of August. 



A writer in the Boston Centinel of the 31st ult. in 

 remarking on certain recent failures, which have ta- 

 ken place in this city, snys that '■'■ many of the failures 

 ■werjp trifling, many others not unexpected, and that 

 the whole will not effect the stamina of the solvent Em- 

 porium of New England commerce." 



We have published the official decisions of the Ame- 

 rican and British Commissioners made under the 6th 

 article of the treaty of Ghent ; by which it will be 

 seen, that all the islands in the Niagara river, (except 

 Navy Islpjid) have fallen to the United States. Drum- 

 mond's Island, in Lake Huron, containiiig a British 

 post, has also fallen to us. This will serve as an ex- 

 change for the military works at Rouse's Point, on 

 Lake Champlain. — Buffalo Patriot July IG. 



Caution. — Counterfeit bills of five dollars, of the 

 Bank of the United States, are hi circulation, and have 

 appeared in this vicinity. The engraving is coarse, 

 and the paper much thicker than the true bills. 



Salem paper. 

 AVe are informed by a respectable physician that a 

 dog, evidently alfecfed with Hydrophobia, was killed 

 at Lechmere Point on Monday last. — Palladium. 



Worcester Canal. — It is announced in the Providence 

 American, that Jlr. Benjamin A\'right is engaged to 

 survey, early the ensuing autumn, the route of the pro- 

 posed Canal from Worcester to Providence, and to 

 make an estimate of the expense of the undertaking. 



Edmund Law, Esq. is a candidate for Congress in 

 Florida. He was, we believe, brother to the late Lord 

 EUenborough, and author of many of the essays on the 

 currency, which appeared in the National Intelligencer 

 a short time since — a gentleman of genius, learning, 

 and extensive and profound erudition. 



American Ilisfory. — The Evening Post intimates, 

 that the Hon. Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts, 

 contemplates wTiting Memoirs of his own Times, or 

 some similar work. The following is the paragraph 

 conveying the intimation to which we allude : — 



" We express a hope, and we have good grounds for 

 the expression, that this venerable statesman will de- 

 vote the evening of his days to placing on record, the 

 I history of-those events and transactions so familiar to 



his remembrance, so honorable to himself, so glorious to 

 his country. To what better purpose ran he devote 

 his ti.-ne ? How can he terve posterity more essential- 

 ly, than by placing before their eyes, in an imparfial 

 light, the picture of the times that have been ? He has 

 served his country in the field and in the cabinet ; let 

 him close his labors by acting as the historian of his 

 own times." 



Mr. Pickering has now reached the age of seventy ; 

 and as he is one of the living chronicles of rcToluticc- 

 ary events, such a work as he contemplates would no 

 doubt contain many vahiable facts which v.-ould serve 

 to illustrate our history. — .K. X. Statesman. 



Charles Thompson. — .\ gsntUman of this city lately 

 visited the venerable Charles Thompton, secretary cf 

 the continental congress in the revolutionary war at 

 his scat, twelve miles from Philadelphia, on the old' 

 Lancaster read. Mr. 1 hompson has reached the ad- 

 vanced age of ninety-three, enjoys tolerable bodily 

 health, and walks with apparent ease and pleasure to 

 himself; his sight is so good as to enable him to read 

 without spectacles, but he hears with difficulty — his 

 mind is evidently in decay ; it is the ruins, however, 

 of superior intellect ; far from being puerile, it still 

 bears the impress of greatness, and a familiarity with 

 the best ancient and modern authors. He dwells with 

 peculiar interest on the scenes of the revolutionary war, 

 and relates with great precision, many anecdotes of its 

 prominent characters. On being asked what caused 

 such implicit faith to be put in the documents signed 

 by him, he answered " it was well known that he had 

 resolved, in despite of consequences, never to put his 

 official signature to any account, for the accuracy cf 

 which he could not vouch as a man of honor ;" and so 

 well v.-as this understood, that when Mr. T. was adopt- 

 ed by the Six Nations of Indians, they emphatically 

 named him " the man of truth." — Albany paper. 



DEATHS. 

 In this city, Mr. Thomas Pclham, 38.— Mr. John 

 Burt, 20.— Miss Ann Hughes, G7.— Mr. John Hol- 

 brnok, 53. — Augustus O. Barton, 39.. 



In Roxbury, on Thursday last, James Perkins, Esq. 

 of this city, aged Cl- 

 in Fiirrlajut,. Stephen George Kemble, Esq. the cele- 

 brated comedikn, aged 64. In private life he was a 

 social, lively companion ; and on the stage he was re- 

 markable for playing Sir John Falstafi', without stuffing 

 his jacket.

FOR sale at the Bookstore of Charles Ewer, No. 51, 

 Munros & Francis, No. 4, Comhill, and at this 

 Office:— The HUSBANDMAN AND HOUSEWIFE; 

 being a collection of valuable Recipes and Directions, 

 relating to Agriculture and Domestic Economy. By 

 Thomas G Fessesdf,!?, Esq. Price 50 cents. 

 The follomng notice of this work is extracted from the 



Massachi.seffs Agricultural Journal for June 1822. 



" We have read it with attention, and think it well 

 adapted to the use of farmers, who would not go to the 

 expense of purchasing larger works. It is a collection 

 of receipts, many of which arc from high authority, and 

 all of them, as far as they are accurate, calculated for 

 daily and constant use. That errors should creep into 

 such a work must be expected. The recipes areeften 

 taken from such transient works, or sources, that it 

 would be impossible for the compiler to vouch for their 

 efficacy or exactitude — but still its use must be very 

 great to the clas; of people for whom it was principally 

 intended." August '9
