amendments.
FROM THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.—The
Hamilton at New York, in 31 days from
Liverpool, brings London papers to tlte
5dlth, and Liverpool to the 2oth of March,
both inclusive; nine days later than t ie last
dates. It has been stated by Mr. Feel, in
the l louse of Commons, that government
had received no notice of any declaration
ot war bv Russia against Turkey. This
rnight be true, and yet the war break out
the next day. It 13 pretty certain, how
ever, that the Russian army had not cross
ed the Pruih. It was thought by some,
that Turkey would yield the point virtual
ly, it not formally, and thus affairs subside:
By others, Russia was not expected to be
so easily satisfied. The London Morning
Cfironicle says, “It is clear we have been
foiled in our policy of keeping Russia out
of the fiteld.”
The affairs of Portugal strike us as the
most extraordinary. Don Miguel has dis
appointed the British government, and thus
t.:e occupation, the motives and definite
objects of which have long been a puzzle,
is likely to end very unsatisfactorily. This
re% elution in the Portuguese uffa’.rs has ex
'itrd a gvod *k*al of sensation in England.
»ar or not, the relations of Europe are
rtainlv very unsettled at this juncture,
r m Iv to terminate, in the direction ot
titiier Portugal or of the East, ui a man
ner very favorable or flattering to the poli
cy of Mr. Canning.
Infant School*.—A Society of Ladies
'J as formed in the city of Boston on Tues
-V which has resolved to establish
one or more Infant Schools. A liberal
e'*Ascription was commenced in further
fn,ce °* the object ou which four different
«:es placed 100 dollars each*
The Fracas at the Capital.—In his
letter addressed to Congress, Col. Russell
Jarvis saya that Mr. John Adams declar
ed in pretence of the ladies w ho were of
ms party at the levee, “that their being at
the Presidents involved an impropriety, and
that, if 1 kneic the estimation in which I was
held in that house, I would not suffer myself
to be seen there, and that he intended the re
mark to be heard by those for whom it was
intended and hoped it was so heard.'*
Col. Jarvis further says, “those ladies
and the father ot Mrs. Jarvis, who was a
political friend of the President, deeming
this a gross indignity to themselves, and a
violation of the hospitalities of a house, to
whose inmates they were paying a compli
mentary visit, he immediately retired.”
In the common acceptation of language,
it must he understood, from the declam
ation, that Mr. Cordis, the father of Mrs.
Jarvis, retired in consequence of the remark
of Mr. John Mams. It is possible
that the coloring given to the atfair in Mr.
Jarvis's letter is a little too deep. We
have heard, from very good authority, that,
whatever remark Mr. John Adams may
have made, in the hearing of those ladies,
I it was thought so entirely unimportant that
! it was not the subject of any conversation
I among them after they retired. It is pos
itively asserted in this city, that the gentle
man alluded to, so far from having “im
mediately retired,” in consequence of any
remarks made at the levee, never heard of
[this, which Mr Jarvis calls a “gross in
dignity," till he arrived at New York, on
his way home. Not having seen the gen
tleman ourselves, we will not be responsi
ble for this rumor as a fact, but we have
heard it from so many sources, that w e can
have no doubt of its truth.
It is probable, from the tenor ot the re
marks made in the Senate, by the metaphys
ical Mr. Tazwell, and responded by the
plausible Mr. Van Buren, that those gen
tlemen look upon this as a trivial affair; and
as al 1 the opposition members ot the Senate,
except Mr. Mclane, voted for laying the
President’s Message and Mr. Jarvis’s let
ter on the table, it is also equally probable
that a ma jority of that Honorable body will
pursue much the same course in regard to
these documents, that they did with the me
morials of Mr. Spurhavvk and General Duff
Green.—Boston Courier.
We mentioned, in a former number, that
Mr. Adams had come to the determination
of paying off FIVE MILLIONS of the
public debt on the first of July. When
this amount shall have been discharged, it
will make THIRTY EIGHT MILLIONS
that he has liquidated during his Adminis
tration. A better proof of the wisdom ol
his measures, of his patriotic dovotion to
the good of the country, could not be desir
ed. We will ask, would it not be unjust to
tnrn so good a servant out of office before
the regular time ? Most assuredly it would.
We are now happily experiencing the sal
ut try effects from Mr. Adams’ Administra
tion; we nave tried him, and approve of his
conduct and discretion, and prudence
should teach us, not to give up a certainty
for an uncertainty—not to let go the sub
stance for the shadow.
Washington. Jefferson, Madison, and
Monroe, held the Presidency for a term of
eight years, though each, with the excep
tion of the last named, were opposed with
virulence: the People saw that the opposi
tion raised against them was the work of
doaigning men, and they indignantly refus
ed to lend themselves to the promotion of
their objects—and such, wc have no doubt,
will be their patriotic determination in the
case of Mr. Adams.—.Marylander.
A Mr Rand advertises for exhibition,
m Boston, a solar microscope which mag
nifies 3,000,000 times. By its aid, suakes
apparently six feet long, may be discover
ed in vinegar; and the smail white mealy
particles on figs appear moving objects as
large as a good sized terrapin. We hope
Mr. R. will visit Philadelphia with his won
derful instrument. It must be a pleasant
circumstance, to have occular proof that
while wc are licking up the v inegar from
our sallad. we arc taking serpents to our
bosoms. What a comfortable reflection,
i as one is munching a fig. to mistake, in
the fulness of newly acquired knowledge,
the cracking of one of its seeds for the
craunclung of a snapper turtle’s shell.
Philadelphia paper.
Curious Fact.—Cut a couple of cards
each into a circle of about 2 inches in di
; ameter. Perforate one of these at the ccn
: trc. and fix it on the top of a tube, say a
' common quill. Make the other card ever
i so little concave, and place it over the first,
the orifice of the tube being thus directly
: under, and almost in contact with the up
; per concave card. Try to blow off the up
per card. You will find it impossible.
We understand that the cause that coun
! teracts the effect at first expected at this
singular phenomenon has lately puzzled
all the members of the Royal Society. A
medal and a hundred guineas are said to be
jtlie reward of the successful discoverer.
We recommend the ingenious reader to find
it out .-Exeter Alfred.—We have just tri
ed this experiment, and toour no small sur
' prize find that what is stated in the preced
nig paragraph is quite true.—Edits Merc.
A Hit—The Albany Advertiser says
i a horizontal hoard, with upright spikes,
! has been lately placed over the railing in
front of Senator Sanford's bouse, on the
j uublic square. On being asked the reason
i therefor, a person replied that it was to
prevent people from “gettuig on the fence.”
Newspaper Thief—A person was de
tected in stealing a paper from under a
store door, on Monday last, in Philadcl
I phia; for which offence he was sentenced
by the Mayor to 30 days confinement.
Water-proof Glut.—Tho Portland Ar
gus mentions that a person in that place
has discovered a method of making glue
that is not dissoluble in water, anti having,
also, the property ofdrying with much grea
ter rapidity than any other kind. His me
thod is, first to immerse common glue in
cold water until it becomes perfectly soft,
but vet retaining its original form.—After
which it is to be dissolved in common raw
linseed oil assisted 6y a gentle heat, until
it becomes entirely taken up by the latter,
after which it may be applied to substances
for adhesion to each other, in tho way com
mon glue is ordinarily applied. It dries
almost immediately, and water will exert no
action on it. It would be very easy for
those whom the discovery would immedi
ately benefit, to ascertain its truth, by
making an experiment, and should the re
sult be such as stated, we should suppose
that it would prove materially and exten
sively beneficial in some branches of the
mechanic arts.
During the late violent gale, the Peram
bulators of Portland Beach, (Eng.) have
picked up valuable bars of silver and gold,
and other things which have been thrown
up from the various wrecks on that danger
ous shore.
SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
The spontaneous combustion of certain
bodies is not only a subject of interest in
a scientific point of view, but is one of
some concern to our merchants and the
public at large, and particularly to our
Insurance Companies. We have, there
fore, taken seme pains to search out the
cases on record, and to make a summary
of those that we have found—and we shall
now lay them before our readers in as
few words as possible.
Flour.—In December 1765, we read, an
explosion took place in a bakery at Tu
rina. It proceeded from the warehouse,
where in the evening a boy was stirring
some flour by the light of a lamp. The
house was injured, and the boy scorched
with the momentary flash which attended
the explosion. The weather was exceed
ingly dry, and the explosion took place
on the falling of a quantity of flour in the
bolter.
The baker when a boy had witnessed a
similar inflammation in a flour warehouse,
but without the explosion. And one had
also occurred in another bakehouse.
From the relation of these instances
more at large in the Emporium of Arts, it
appears that in the first instance theie was
an ext. icatictn of inflammable air, which
coming in contact with the light produced
the explosion. In the other two the dry
dust in the warehouse w’as simply set on
fire by the lamp.
Lamp black and hcmp-sccd oil. “The
conflagration of a frigate beloging to the
Empress of Russia in the harbor of Cron
stadt,on board of which there had been no
fire, shows that lamp black, by being;
moistened with hem|>-seed oil, is capable
of producing flame; this was proved by the
experiments which the Academy of Peters
burg made upon the subject by order of
the Empress.” Emp. Arts and sciences.
Oiled Cloths.—The burning of a store
house of sails, which happened at Brest
1757, was caused by the spontaneous in
flammation of some oil-cloths; which,
after having been painted on one side and
dried in the sun, were stored away while
yet warm, as was shown by subsequent
experiments.”—ibid.
Linen rags and vegetable substances.—
The heaps of liucn rags thrown together
in large quantities in paper manufactories,
the preparation of which is hastened by
means of fermentation, often take fire if
not carefully attended to. Fermentation
will also produce spontaneous combustion
and inflammation in other vegetable sub
stances as in new made hay, wet grain,
madder, malt, #c. If a piece of iron be
left in a stack of hav in fermentation, in
flammation is almost a certain conse
quence.—Ibid
minimal substances.—spontaneous in
flammation has been known to take place
in animal substances, woollen cloth not
scoured, heaps of woollen yarn, and cloth
while going to the fullers. These in
stances occured where the substances
heaped together retained a considerable
degree of moisture as well as oil.
Mineral substances.—Pyrites, and iron
ore containing sulphor, if wetted and ex
posed to the air, will take fire. Pit coal
laid in heaps will sometimes inflame spon
taneously. This is probably owing to tne
pyrites which it occasionally contains. An
instance of this kind occured in a coal
yard in this city near the foot of Rector
street, during the summer of 1822, at the
time of the prevailing yellow fever.
It is well known that when water is ad
mitted to come m contact with quick-lime,
the heat produced will set fire to wood.
Spontaneous inflammations are frequent,
and their causes various, requiring atten
tion and vigikmce, particularly over de
posits of hemp, cordage, lamp-black,
pitch, tar, oiled cloths, <$c. which should i
never be left heaped up if they have any
moisture in them.
Substances requiring contact of fame.
“Substances in fermentation are very often
unable to inflame of themseves, but the
simple contact of flame is sufficient to
kindle them rapidly, as many examples
demonstrate; so that we might make a
seperate class of those substances in which
inflammation cannot take place of itself,
; but which are set on fire by the approach
of flame; of this we have an example in
the accident which happened in the flour
warehouse.’’ Emp. of Arts and Sci
ence.
This is the case with distillation of spir
its, aether, alcohol, spirits of turpentine,
and in places where our domctic whiskey
is rectified and converted into neutral spirits.
The subtile and inflammable vapor occa
sionally diffused in the places will take
fire on the approach of a lamp or candle.'*
Penn. Gaz.
It is proposed in the House of Repre
sentatives to abolish the office of Major
General of the Army, in order, it is said,
to save a few thousand dollars a year to
to tlie Treasury! How fortunate if this
economical b ^dy should consider how ma
ny thousand dollars would—without inju
ry to the national weal—be deducted from
the claims on that department, if the
speeches and the sessions were shortened!
After an adept in statistics had read a ve
ry long paper on Prices, before a learned
body in paris, La Fontaine, who was pres
ent, remarked to a neighbor—“that gen
tleman knows tire price, or cost, of every
thing except time.” Nat. Gaz.
A dead body has recently been found on a small
Island in the Ohio, near the mouth of the 7'enns
sce, which, from the papers A:c. found in his pock
et book, appears to be the body of Xdson Patter
son, late ot Nashville, who had been detected in
related acts of forge ry.

AGRICULTURE.
Ik order to disseminate extensively the nume
rous advantages which flow from the dev elope
ment of new resources and valuable improvements
in the Agricultural World, it is reasonable to pre
sume that a proper medium for the accumulation
and distribution of practical knowledge, must
Firove of the first importance. A Periodical Pub
ication devoted to these purposes, if conducted
with spirit and industry, cannot prove otherwise
than eminently useful.
Under these impressions, the Publishers have
determined on offering to the agricultural commu
nity THE FARMER’S MAGAZINE, as a reposi
tory of useful information; satisfied they cannot
render to their country a more valuable service, or
better contribute to its permanent prosperity, than
in subserving, as they hope to do, its agricultural
interests.
The leading featuro of this publication will be
sustained by our own ample resources, united to
‘lue promised contributions of several agricultu
ral societies, and the assistance of distinguish
:d agriculturists, in this and other states.
The Literary and Scientific depertment will
>e conducted by a gentleman heretofore editor of
i popular literary journal.
In furtherance of their views, the publishers so
icit original contributions on Agriculture, Horti
culture, Rural arul Domestic (Economy, &e. and
the co-operation of agriculturists and the friends
of Agriculture throughout the country; to whom
is respectfully submitted the following
