FROM PoRT-AU-rUlNCh.
The schooner General Jackson*
sailed from Jacquemelon the 21st
of August.? "Captain Gildea informs 1
us that the day previous* J2 deser? i
ters arrived there from Christophers
dominions, who reported that his
sable majesty was moving with all *
his force towards Port-au-Prince,
and that he had already reached St.
Mark, where he had been joined by
a Spanish general with some trifling ,
force, from the Spanish part of the
Island. ? The people of lacquemel
were in high spirits* and looked up*
on this proceeding of Christophe's
as the forerunner ot his total over
throw* and entertained strong hope>?
that it would be the means ot placing
Pction in possession of all the
French part of the Island of St.
Dimingo. \
Since the above w as in type we
have seen captain Rogers, of the
schooner Remittance, who stares
that no such intelligenc had reached
Aux Cayes when he left there, which
was about thcflastof August,

Amusing and timftle <x fieriments in CZaKa- j
num. 1*
We know not any science, which fur* J
rushes more experiments tliAt ure both en
tertaining, amusing and useful than Gal*
vanism. #
Experiment I. Tafce any small Bird,
such as a Linnet, whose life ha* been ex
tinguished noi more than two hours, place
a small piece of silver in its mouth and a
small piece of zinc Or gold in its tail. Con
nect the two pieces with an iron wire, and
the Bird will immediately rise up, and ex
pand its wings and Butler round the room
as if alive. '
Kxpcrlment 2. Let a person apply a
flattened piece of zinc to one of the stir
facts of his tongue, and a flattened pitrce
of silver to the other surface, without
either of the metals touching each other *.
but each of them provided with a long
iron wire ; and by passing the wires in a
parellet direction through a door, behind
which they arc brought together and *e
p ?rated alternately ; the person who makes
the experiment ascertains by the taste he
feels on the tongue, the situation of the
extremity of each of the wires.
Experiment 3d. A phenomenon, which
fifteen years ago, would have been oonsi
drred a* chi
from l he ex
fluid* It is
nally united
as likewise resulted
on the ( i alv-inism
? : A nerve, ori^i
trral cubic liiu.* oi
muscular fiesh, inofcates whe'.her two me
tals are hemogeneous or heterogeneous ;
and whether they are in a slate of pure re
gulus, or in an oxydated siae ? it also
points out whether the coferutrcm of a "mi Ti
er ral sub^ance de(>ends on charcoal, or an
oxydation which has taken place. The
living nervous fibre ? i* consequently a liv
ing Anthracosco\K*. a means of discover
ing charcoal, almost at certain as the ac
tion of iron, and thdt of Alkalis.
Lxperiment 4th. Porter drank out of a
pewter pot or silver pot, placed upon u
server of another metal, has a much
stronger taste and richer llavoi than when
drank without the pot being placed upon a
server, if the person who drinks previ
r ously moisten* ms hand with ami wa
ver ; the strength and tldvov of the Liquid
will be incresed.
Experiment 5\h. Tea drnnk out of
Ch ki Cups with a gold ripi, has a richer
flavor than tea drank out of cups without
metallic rim.
Experiment 6. A Galvanic Pile or ap
paratus may be constructed out of ve^e
ables When metait cannot be procured ;
thus for examples, three hundred slices of
^tteat, a fid the same number of Hogse
HaddUh, placed alternately, will form a
pile as strong as til\ y pieces of silver ami
fitly of zmc.
L'.xpt riment 7ih. Another curious and
Well established fact connectcd wit.i the
theory of Galvanism, is, thai when a fi-^h,
instantly after being taken out of the wa
ter is killed by a violent blow on the head,
by which the skull i* fractured the irrita
-btihy arrrt ftexIbitny^oTrhcliniscIes are pre
served, much longer than they would have
been, if it had been allowed to die with
the organs ot sensation in an entire state.
So very sensible are the fishermen of this,
that they tYaVc recourse to the abovt prac
- tice, w ith a view to rentier the fishes they
catch, susceptible for a longer time to the
operation called crinrvpling. Salmon is one
ot the fishes the tenatious of life, inso
much that after having been taken out of
the water, it will cease, in less than half
an hour, to manifest any si^n of vitality,
provided it be not exposed o any violence,
liut if, on the other hand, it receives as
-soon as u is caught, a violent blow on the
head the muscles will continue for the
space of more than 12 hours to exhibit vi
sible signs of irritability.

here, that the Dey of Algiers has 6.000
slaves at work at the fortifications of that
place, which are intended to mount 1500
pieces of cannon."
Spain it : pp"ars by the following articles
has determined to fit out a small squadron
against the pirates !?
" Madrid, July 25 -^-Notwithstanding the
distressed state of our finances, his Majes
ty has ordered a small fleet to be armed,
for sustaining the honor and insuring the

that the place cannot present much re
sistance, should the Moors venture on an
att; ck."
Some Hamburg papers arrived, last
night, which contain an article from an
unusual (juaitet ? Morocco. A decree c;f
his Highness the Emptror, coninicncrs
with a pretence of its being issued, in con
stfjiienceof information, u hich had reach
ed his Imperial ears, that some of his sub
jects, Peltiers in European countries had
denominated themselves his ambassadors,
or relatives, and moreover had been guilty
of various rxcsrm / It, therefore, forbids
his Mahometan subjects on pain of death
from leaving his territories, without ex
press permission from hifn*elf, and even
Jews may not go, unless they give secutitv.
that they will carry on in Europe, a law/til

Some intelligence follows the decree tc*

nician vessel having se-zed a Neapolitan
ship, the prize has been released > s
orders, the captain of the piratical vessel
imprisoned for fourteen days, and notice
has been given, that, whoever shall in fu
ture practice piracy, in the Emperor's
ports, shall suffer death. We did not. be

is said of remonstrances or claims for the
Neapolitan Con it ? his Morocco Majesty
acts upon his own spontaneous abhorrence
of piracy, a* if he had now, for the first
time, heard of the practice ! And this, he
thinks, will send back the British squadron.
