EXTRACTS From London and Liverpool papers both to In consequence of the fall of snow on Tue.i-A £•,£_ 12, inclusive,, received at the office of the Federal Gazette, by the. Hercules. A gentleman of considerable landed pro- perty in Rutlandshire, who stood below the bar .at the house of Lordsdnringthe late debate en th*. proposed abolition of the slave trade, was so «irapHired with the speech of Lord Grenville, -(who advocated the cause of mi- sery with an. inspired eloquence) that he de- clared, in the most solemn manner, he would make a cedicil to "His will the instant he reached home, and phce in the hands of trustees the sum of 3000I. for the sole pur- pose of erecting a statue to .the memory of that luminous, humane, and. faithful statesman. .Mr. J. Dennison, recently deceased, has left his two daughters, the Countess cf Conyngham, and Lady Lawley, 20,000k each, which, with their portions on marri- age, will make their respective fortunes 50,000k To an only sister he has given an annuity of iool. per annum, and the residue of his immense property, amounting to 14,000!. per annum, he has bequeathed to his eldest son. A gentleman, who lately left Rome, de- clares, that the reduction of Naples has cost France 35,000 men. Vast numbers of them have perished from the unwhole- some vapors of the Calabnas ; more, in fact, than have fallen by the swords of the Calabrese. In Naples, scarce a night pas- ses without several Frenchmen being mur- dered. King Joseph has not for many months ventured to sleep in the city. He . has fitted up and forfeited the palace >f Capo di Montp, whither he retires every evening. Lucien Bonaparte lives in the neighborhood of Rome, in a state of domestic retirement. The.large fortune which he amassed during his embassies to Spam and Portugal, ena- bles him to do much good in his neighbor- hood. He employs a great number of per- sons in making various improvements, which he add his wife daily inspect. He avoids all political society. ¦, Some newspapers have lately been print- ed at Paris and Bayonne, in the Spanish lan- guage, but the court of Madrid has prohi- bited their circulation in Spain. Died at Lisbon, on the lOtli of Novem- ber, Don Juan de Bragaiaa, Luke of La- foens, uncle of the present queen -f Portu- gal', I1:.under and perpetual president of the Portuguese Royal Academy pf Sciences. In the seven years war he served as a vo- lunteer in the Austrian army. On the res- toration of peace he made the usual tour of Europe, and visited Lapland. In 1773, he travelled into Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. All the contemporary sovereigns of Europe, Frederick the Great, Catharine II. Clement XIV. Joseph II. &c. highly esteemed and respected him. With this last mentioned monarch he carried on an epistolary corres- pondence. On his return to his native coun- try he founded the Royal Academy of Sci- ences, the expences of which he himself supported for five years. He thought it not enough to be only the patron of the scien- ces, but likewise cultivated them himself. He was of a lively and chserful dispositicn, and was celebrated for the openness and mag- nanimity of his character. His travels had contributed to perfect his taste, which from nature, was of the first order ; but he had astrongpredilection forrevolutionaryFrance, having submitted to accept one of the Grand Crosses of Bonaparte's Legion of Honor. Yesterday morning the judge advocate of Scotland, earl Lauderdale, and Mr. Adam, were in consultation with lord Grenville upwards of four hours, upon the important subject of assimilating the laws of Scotland with those of England. M. Leschevin, chief commissary for gun- powder and salt petre at Dijon, has sugges- ted a method of averting showers of hail, and dissipating storms. The memoir in which he has related the discovery, as he conceives, is long, but we shall be able to present the English reader with the results in a few words :—1. He would excite in the air strong commotions, capable of shak- ing the particles of water adhering to it, so as to produce abundant rain : this is to be done by the sound of great bells, the noise of guns or drums, by the denotation of the fulminating powder, and by the explosion, in the middle of the clouds, of rockets di- rected towards the place where the clouds are the thickest. 2. He would establish energetic conductors between the clouds and the earth, either by fires lighted from > distance to distance, and kept burning by supplies of dry substances, or by the dis- engagement of humid vapors, or the com- bustion of resinous matter. 3. He would draw off the electric fluid, which is in su- perabundance hi. the clouds, by a multiplici- ty of thunder rods : he would establish these conductors on those sides from whence the winds chiefly come, and these are to be fixed on elevated places, high trees, &c. We are informed that the practice re- commended in this memoir is made use of in many parts of France with the greatest success. COMMERCE. Carolina Rice has last week rather advan- ced as have also currants and Malaga raisins. The importation, of raisins into tile port of London from Spain last whek was 7171 box- es. The inferior sorts of cotton wool have ad- vanced a little. The importation last week was very considerable. Cocoa has become somewhat lower, as have also figs. Irish butter is rather dearer- Geneva has last week been somewhat low- er. The importation from Rotterdam was 121 puncheons. Clover seed, both English and foreign, is lower. Trefoil seed higher. The. communication with the ports in the Baltic becoming more difficult, the price of fir timber has advanced considerably. The - Quebec timber is lower.

The importation of skins last week I ; s been considerable ; 914 beaver from Quebec , 2f> 927 lamb from Leghorn ;'14,«>0 kid from Leghorn and Holland ; and 14,689 deer from Quebec. Raw and thrown silk Iras been imported inconsiderable quantities, via Tonningen. The quantity of indigo imported kist week into London from America amounted to 35,000 pounds. The East-India company has declared for sale in the beginning of March, 6,000,000 pounds of tea, and 30O0 packages of prize tea; also, 165,000 pounds of cinnamon, If) pounds of oil of cinnamon, 1",032 pounds of indigo, and 25.0CO bags of saltpetre. It is agreeable to observe, that our trade with the ports in the Mediterranean conti- nues in full activity. From Leghorn we have had this week anchovies, juniper ber- ries nutgalls, oil, lamb and kid skins, and 1885 lbs. of raw silk. From Messina, in Sicily, the imports are considerable. Notwithstanding the blockade of Great- CTitain, which is in fact only an authorised system of robbery and plunder, the impor- tation from enemy's ports into London con- tinues to-be very great; but neutrals ,are strictly pttyubited from introducing British manufactures' into any port under the autho- rity or influence of Bonaparte, t From the ports of Spain we had last week, amongst several other articles, 500 gallons of olives, 7171 boxes of raisins, 165C boxes of sarsapaillla, and 230 cwt. of Spanish wool. From the ports of Holland, 364 quarters of whent, 960 quarters of oaf«, and ISo quar- ters of pease: also, alkmiot roiH, oak bark, flax, geneva, clover and onion seed, 400 cwt. mustard seed, &c. &c.

This county, though distinguished by the mildness of its winters, has seldom experi- enced one so mild as the present. Ripe strawberries, and a variety of garden flow- ers which seldom blossom till April or May, have been gathered in several parts of Corn- wall during the month of January. But this extreme mildness was interrupted at the close of the month by a few nights of frost, and on Saturday night last we had a slight shower of snow, which, however, disap- peared before the clear sunshine of Sunday. On Monday the inhabitants of Truro were alarmed by an awful thunder-rtorm, which threatened the most seri.us consequences. The wind blew strong from the south-west during the morning, and several explosions were heard, but all too distant to excite any serious apprehensions, till about 11 o'clock, when a flash of lightning, extremely vivid, was instantly followed by a tremendous crash of thunder, which sremed to burst close down upon the house-tops, and shattered the windows of the Red Lion inn, Mr. Mudge's house, Mr. Hodgs's, and several others. In the mean time the electric fluid struck the church tower in several places, where the conductor, neutralized peitaj-s by rust, did not afford all the security ex- pected from it. A stone of nearly two hun- dred weight was thrown off the south-west angle of the top of the square tower, at the base of the spire. As the fluid descended in "a zig-zag direction, it recoiled again and struck the base of the wall near the porch, with great violence, but was repelled by the solid masse; of granite of which it is formed. Some part of it, however, entered the church, and passing out at the great win- dow, over the altar, broke several panes of glass, and greatly damaged the window frames. It then entered the kitchen of the Bear inn, (which stands close to the north- east angle of the church,) struck a man backward, but without injuring him, and passed off without further damage. Early on Thursday morning last we were visited by another thunder-storm one clap of which (about five in the morning) was little less tremendous than that whose effects we have described, but providentially did no harm that we have heard ot. REMARKS By tlie editor of the Loudon Traveller, Feb. 12, on the Spanish account of the re- capture of Buenos /lyres. By the Mail from Lisbon we received Madrid Gazettes to the 20th ult. inclusive. The paper of that date contains an official dispatch from col. Linier to the Prince of the Peace, relative to the re-conquest ot Buenos Ayres. Sir H. Popham it will be recollected, expressly states that the co- lonel was on his parole at the time of his entering upon this enterprize. The colonel himselt begins the dispatch with stating, that from a combination of various circum- stances, he was absent from Buenos Ayres when it surrendered to the English, and that he was consequently free to pursue any line of conduct which should be most con- ducive to ais sovereign's interests. He be- gan his march from Monte Viedo on the 23d with six hundred men ; on the 26th, passed «n rafts the rivers of Camelones and St. Joseph ; on the 28th reached La Colonia del Sacramento, where he found Don Gutierrez De La Concha, with a flotilla, consisting of six schooners armed with eighteen and thirty-six pounders, one with thirty-six pound howitzers, six roy- al gun-boats, thirty-three armed launches, and eight transports. On the 29th the flo- tilla attacked and beat off an English brig. On the 1st August he was joined by ico volunteers, equipped at the expence of the inhabitants of La Colonia. He embarked his troops on third, and on the following day effected a landing at Las Conchas, where he also disembarked the sailors and marines ot the flotilla, amounting to 323. On'the 5th he entered St. Isidro, amidst the ac- clamations of the inhabitants. On the 6th the weather was exrremely tempestuous, and the English'lost six of their aimed launches. On the lolli, I.iii'er entered Matatcao* del Miserere, aid sent in a suftimous to general Beresford. General Be'resfcrd returned an answer in the negative. Linier immediate- ly proceeded to attack'' the posts' of El Reti- ro, which was r ecu pied by 200 English, whom he dislodged) with the loss of from 35 to 40 killed, and ten made prisoners, five of them being wounded. At this in- stant the Errgtish general earne up, with from 400 to 500 men ; but Linier having opened a fiie of grape-shot on them, " they . dispersed," he says, '• like a cloud, leaving behind them a number of slain." Don Jo- aquin Toledo, a midshipman, was the only Spaniard who suffered from the fire of the English, and he received only a slight wound in the head. On the 12th. Linier opened a battery on one of the English ships, " whose mizen-topmast was carried away, and the English flag fell into the wa- ter—a happy prognostic of the event which was to take place the day after in Buenos Ayres." " At 12 o'clock on the 12th of August," continues Linier, " the Spanish troops advanced in two columns, by the street of La Merced and that of the Cathe- dral. The enemy guarded the approaches,' to the square with 18 pieces' of artillery. Their troops were also posted in the balco- nies of the houses immediately adjoining the stjnare an3 the cathedral. For about 2 hours, the contest was maintained on both sides with equal firmness, valor and ob:ti- • nacy, when at length the enemy gave way at all points, and.retreated from the square, which was instantly occupied by our troops,' and having betaken themselves to the fort, they hoisted the white fia';<'. But from the enthusiastic ardor of my soldiers, it was a fcortsidsrable length of time before K stw^ cold be put to our fire. At h*rigtta seeing Don Hilarion de la Gttn'r- tar.a entel the fort with a 8»g of truce, tiiey pressed forward towards the gate and upon the counterscrafj; so that myeeli' and my officers were obliged to make use of threat- ening language to restrain their impatuosityj and to represent to them, that the fort haet not yet tuirendered, that the white fiag might be hoisted only as a sigrVsl of a sus- pension of arms, &c. In fact, had rtie Eng- lish general been disposed to act with bad faith, he might have detained my aid-de- camp, and occasioned a horrible slaughter among our troops, though, in no event, Slioh as to prevent our final success. But, far from taking so desperate a resolution, he immediately hoisted the Spanish flair, with- out treating of any other terms than those announced to him by my aid-de-camp, who would only agree to his surrendering at dis- cretion. Soon after, he left the fortj accom- panied by my aid de-camp, and coming up to me, I briefly informed him that the es- teem due to his bravery induced mn to grant him the honors of war. Accordingly, hav- ing drawn up my troops in line, the Eng- lish marched out of the fort ito the number of 12C0, and laid down theit arms at the- head of our troops. Their loss in killed and wounded was 412 privates, and five officers ; that on our side was 130 rank and file, with the midshipman, Don Josef Miranda, wound- ed in the. hand ; and the ensign, • Don Joan. Bautista Fantin, my aid-de-camp, wounded in thejeg." ¦ From the People's Friend. ON THE STATE OF PARTIES ; OR, Cheering prospects fet, the legitimate disci- ples of the Washington scAc /. On a rich mount with verdure crown'd, I aw A noble edifce, commanding awe ; Stiong were tjte pillars which upheld the ¦dome, No purer marble ever strengthen'd Rome : Its solid grandeur blazon'd on niy sight, As up to Heaven it seem d ro raise its height: Around the walls I niark'd a gallant band, Prompt to obey, yet able to command. Columbia's guardian angs! there appear'd, And with her presence those true patriots cbeer'd. Fan e, with loud trumpet her behests obey'd, And names to glory, nobly earn'd, convey'd. , Rich cultivated ,.elds, a cloudless sky And happy industry all charm'd the eye : The eagle of the rock, with ardent wing And countless arrows, fitted to the string, Tow'ring aloft, bespoke the nation's soul, Whom no proud foe liu'd insult or controul: The stripes and stars, in spotless splendor shone, And claim'd respect wherever they were known. My hearted exult in the glowing scene, But found it only shewing -what once had been. " Here in the Federal Mount, the Angel cried, I liv'd triumphant in pure native pride ; My Sons were Sages, and were Heroes toof Whom neither force nor reason could subdue: And here had still Columbia's sons reclin'd, In ease and honor, as kind Heaven design'd ; If demagogues had not their minds deceiv'd, 'I heir pride, their honor, and their peace aggrieved ; And bade their government inglorious pass To heads bewilder'd in Jhat dark morass." Touch'd by her plaint, I turn'd my view to known The scenes transacting in the iriarsh below. There I perceiv'd upon a mound of mud, On hollow logs a chair of honor stood ; An Owl sat perch'd upon this Chair of state, Wise, philosophic, cautious in debate ; His cunning to the Eagle's strength preferr'd, A midnight, timid, tributary bird ; WTith wi»gs upon the stretch, prepar'd to fly When signs of thunder overspread the sky. A bus3' throng intent their chief to raise, 1 Lend him support by various crooked ways, . The ground sinks oft beneath their devious tread, The mists of error settle round their head ; With many a weary tug, and many a groan, They carry mud to plaister up his throne ; The midnight dews keep moist the brittle clay, But when the glorious sun pours forth the day, His rays (like truth) to the false mound ( applied, It rends, it crumbles, broken dowr3 and dried.
