the departure of the English. A reinforcement of Dutch troops was expected at Batavia, about the end of November; and it is not improbable, that, until they arrive, the English will not take their leave.

The Rajah of Nepaul has died lately of the small pox. One of his queens, one of his concubines, and five other females, were voluntarily burned on his funeral pile.

A native of Burdwan, 18 years old, born blind, lately received his sight at the hands of Doctor Luxmore, a distinguished operator. When any object was presented to him, after he had acquired his new faculty, he could declare its colour, but none of its other qualities, without subjecting it to the scrutiny of his other faculties, in the use of which he had been experienced.

An expert swimmer and diver has been lately hung at Calcutta, for drowning women, when they were bathing, by swimming under the water and seizing them by the feet, and dragging them under, to rob them of their ornaments, which they always wear while bathing.

AFRICA.

It is understood that the Deys of Tunis and Tripoli have not made any change in their measures towards the Christian powers; that their forces are in the same state as that in which they were at the time of Lord Exmouth's expedition; that as for the Dey of Algiers, he has, in a great measure, repaired the fortifications of that Port; that he already reckons in his marine, eighteen armed brigs, which are daily exercised in his presence in

the road.

The troops of the country adore the Dey; they have perfectly acquired the European military tactics, and the Ottoman Porte, with whom the Dey is on the best terms, will probably exert itself to undertake something against the Pasha of Egypt.

AMERICA.

SPANISH AMERICA.

Revolution in Chili. On the 12th February, in the plains of Chacabuco, a division of the royal army, 1800 strong, was defeated with great loss by the patriot forces under the command of Jose De San Martin; 450 killed, 600, including 30 officers, taken prisoners, a standard, 1000 stand of arms, and 2 field pieces, constitute the loss of the royalists, while the patriots lost but 100 men.

After the battle, the royal governor, Marco del Pont, finding no vessels at Valparaiso to aid his escape, fled to the south, but was soon apprehended. On the 16th February, Brig. Gen. Don Bernardo O'Higgins, who, together with Don Miguel Soler, had distinguished himself in the battle of Chacabuco, was placed, by the people of St. Jago, at the head of the government, with the title of Supreme Director.

VENEZUELA.

MEXICO.

The republican cause in this province is represented as likely to succeed. The patriot forces are stated at 18,000 men, well organized and disciplined, and under able leaders occupying the heart of the country.

This section of the country, embracing a population of one million souls, is under the government of a congress. These republicans have taken the United States for their model, and if report be true, that Apodaca, the Governor, who was said to have cut off their last hope, by taking the principal patriot officers into his service, took that step more certainly to effect the independence of Mexico, which he is now supposed to intend, the prospect is, that the second sovereign power in the western hemisphere will be the nearest neighbour to the United States. The city of Mexico contains 180,000 inhabitants.

BUENOS AYRES.

Buenos Ayres, Feb. 18. Monte Video has surrendered to the Portuguese, but the Spanish forces are laying waste the surrounding country, and concentrating themselves for another contest, in which it is thought probable that they will succeed.

Buenos Ayres stands on the river La Plate, 220 miles from its mouth. The harbour is one of the worst in the world, shallow and unsheltered. The town contains about 50,000 inhabitants. The country is populous, and the soil rich. The price of a good horse is 50 cents, and so up to 20 dollars; of a bullock, 2 dollars to 7; of sheep, in the interior, 6 1-4 cents a head. The country abounds in fruit trees, and vines, but there are few or no forest trees.

PORTUGUESE AMERICA.

Revolution in Brazil. On the 6th March a revolution commenced at Pernambuco, and on the 7th a new provincial Government was established, and every thing restored to tranquillity.

It seems the revolutionists had been maturing their designs for several years, and for their consummation, had fixed on the birth day of one of the Princes of Portugal, when all the military would be under array at the celebration, and which would arrive in June. But the scheme leaking out by accident, about sixty of the principal patriots were proscribed, and Domingos Jose Martins, the most considerable of the whole, was seized and imprisoned. On the 6th, however, as the Adjutant was reading to a regiment on duty, the names of certain others who had been proscribed, he called the name of an officer standing near him, who instantly killed him. The patriots forthwith declared themselves. Martins was liberated by the intre

pidity of his younger brother, and taking the lead of his associates, the citizens joining with his armed followers, the military force of the government was soon subdued or brought over. The Governor himself, who had fled to Port Broon, was, together with the fort, delivered up by his own soldiery.

The Provisional Government is in the hands of four men, viz. Martins, Montenegro, Araugo, Mendosa, who are represented to be men of capacity and vigour.

The officers of the old government for the most part are retained by the new; with such moderation and unanimity has the revolution been conducted. Despatches have been sent to Great Britain and the United States by the new government, requesting the recognition of its independence, and offering liberal terms of commercial intercourse. The province, or captainship of Pernambuco, extends from Rio Grande south to Rio St. Francisco, about 340 miles, and contains about 3,000,000 of inhabitants. It is the most valuable part of the Brazils, and that from which the prince has derived his richest revenue.

Parabra and Rio Grande have declared themselves independent.

They were salted regularly twice a week. They subsisted entirely on ground hemlock and moss wood. In the severest weather they retired to the swamps, The sheep are in better order this spring than they were when they were put on the Island last fall. This Island lies 39 miles from Kingston, and 12 from Sackett's Harbour.

April 19.

The season is more backward than remeinbered by some of the oldest inhabitants in the country: the ground is no where visible in any part of the country surrounding Quebec. The ice on the river is apparently as strong as in the month of March, and carrioles and sleighs still pass without danger. From every appearance there is room to apprehend a very backward spring.

MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston, May 2. The formation of an oblong Area 250 feet in length and 100 feet broad, leading from Court-street to Brattle Square, which is to be terminated by a magnificent edifice for the

accommodation of all the Scientific, Literary

and other Societies in this place, is to be immediately commerced. This building will present two splendid fronts-one immediately upon Brattle Square, and the other aspect distant about 250 feet from Courtstreet. The Athenæum, the Agricultural, Antiquarian, Historical, Linnæan, and Philosophical SOCIETIES will here be supplied with commodious and elegant rooms for the reception of their respective collections.

The estimated amount which will be required to carry this scheme into effect is about 100,000 dolls, which can probably be readily obtained; since it is easy to be demonstrated that, by the execution of the whole plan, a very considerable private profit can be combined with interesting improvements, which, if not now adopted, may be for ever abandoned. We make a very limited calculation when we say, that more than 100 persons in Boston are worth upwards of 100,000 dlls. each; of consequence it requires only a subscription of two months interest upon their capital (or 1000 dolls.) to build the contemplated structure.

It has lately been decided, in the Supreme Court of this State, that the captain of a registered, as well as of a licensed vessel, bound to

a port in the United States, is not obliged to take an outward pilot on board.

The cut-worms this spring have done much damage to the grass, in this State. They commence their depredations about 5 o'clock P. M. and cease about 7 in the morning. Their progress is in a right line, and when they meet obstructions, they persevere till they surmount them or perish. Furrows cut in front of their march have been found, in most cases, an effectual obstacle. They do not touch clover. This insect is in the caterpillar form, and is not the larva of the locust, which resembles the locust itself, and is of a brown colour with a light longitudinal stripe; its head is lighter than its body, and it appears very voracious.
