The tables of the 5 Vil. were only 
commenced on the zgth of Brumaire; an 
the circumftances of the lege, in the 
year VIII prevented the collecting of the 
exaét refulis of Ventofe, Germinal, and 
Floreal. ; 
In Egypt, the General of Diviton, 
FrrantT,Commandant of the fifth Diftrié, 
kes made an excurfion to the Arabian 
‘Tower, Situated about ten leagues from

Alexandria. This monument appears very 
ancient, but it is extremely decayed, efpe- 
cially in the part expofed to the north. 
About three hundred toifes from this 
tower is a vaft {quare building, of about 
120 feet on each front; the walls are ~ 
of a great height, and of a thicknels 
beyond all the ufual proportions. This 
monument likewife appears very ancient, | 
and feems to have fome relation with the 
antiguities of Upper Egypt. ‘No traveller 
has ipoken of it, and General Friant ex- 
ceedingly regrets the not having had with 
him in his journey any one, who, more 
[Sept. ts. 
converfant than himfelf in the knowledge - 
of antique monuments, could affign the 
epoch in which the one here alluded to was 
built, and the ufe to which it was appro~ 
priated. General Friant has found many 
other ruins in. the tour that he has made 
toa part of the coaft of Barbary. He has 
explored almoft all theantient extent of the 
lake Mareotis, and the canton of Ma- 
riouth, inhabited by a number of Arabian 
tribes. 
According to a report of Citizen Des 
MARETZ, of the National Inftitute and 
of the Lyceumof Arts, read to the latter 
aflembly, on the manufaéture of Bauwans, 
at Pafly, cotton is now brought to a3 
great perfeClion in France as in England, 
and it isno dearer. Some fuperb patterns 
were handed zbout to the memters. The 
Lyceum have granted to the author of 
this eftablifhment a crown and a medal. 
Proteflor SCHUMACHER, of Copen-~ 
hagen, has ju& publified the firft volume 
of his Medico-Chirurgical Objervations. 
As the author is attached to the fervice of 
the ho!pital, he muftnaturally have occafion 
to make curious remarks and fuch as are 
worthy of record. His Zeal, has led him to 
endeavour to fubftitute the ufe of indi- 
genous plants, to that of foreign vegeta- 
bies : for example, he ufually employs 
the gratiola inlieu of ipecacuanba- When. 
this herb does not operate fufficiently 
alone, he recommends to affift it by the 
addition of a Kttle rhubarb. He has 
likewife, difcovered that in wounds and 
uleers with inflammation, the cortex hip- 
pocajleni or falicis has the fame effect as 
the cortex Peruvianus, ‘which is 
dearer. 
ftituted with equal fuccefs to fariaparilla. 
Ii intermitting fevers, with the help of 
fuch another cortex, there is ne longer ec- 
cation for the cortex regius. And, laftly, 
it reiults from his experiments that the 
Fabe. Pickerim is an efficacious remedy
