'the sun is In the best position for shewing it. The first trial of this superb instrument, disclosed some wonderful phenomena ; hundreds of insects were discovered devouring the body of a gnat, & scores had lived' luxuriously- for several months on the leg of a moth.These animalcule were magnified, so as to appear, nine inchesjong, their actual size 'being somewhat less than the fourteen hundredth part of an jnch. , The, mineral kingdom afforded another display of , brilliant objects ; their coloring exceed any thing the most T'Siyely imagination can conceive. i . SPAIN. ,: . A number of essays on the propiety of the United States taking " , Vrf-.tt'Srh the Snanish provinces

against the mother country, are

published in tne rucnmuin inquirer addressed to Henry Clay. - This gentleman of whom Kentucky is justly so .proud, has by his generous observationsduring the last Congress, attracted the attention of all the friends of South American liberty. . . We hope that this subject will -hebrouffht before the .next Conrressina light more serious than W in which-it. has hitherto been considered. Some of the Southcrn Spanish Provinces not only have regular governments, but have shewn themselves fully adequate to their support. Why then . should we hesitate to acknowlc'de their independence ? If Spain should consider that measure a ' cause of war, we can retort upon her, that is no more a cause or war, than we have long had aMinst herself, and if she is dispo?ed to appeal to arms we arerea. 2y to meet her. Is it 'not mjustice to ourselves with such abundant cause of complaint to contin--c a useless ncgociation until the present golden moment shall be lost ; until her provinces shall be desolated or subdued, and she -shall be enabled to deny us justice and turn against us her undivided force ? Never before did a nation shew so much forbearance, when both justice and interest-impelled to action. France -did not hesitate thus when the United States were struggling for independence. Even Spain herself merely to humble a hated rival, acknowledged our independence and sought her own aggrandizement in the ruin of the Hntash empire. Ought'- wt then to hesitate, when impelled by justice as well as interest ? She has seizid our ships, imprisons our citizens and holds forcible possession of our territory. Her provinces have been made a rendezvous for our enemies, and she has robbed our citizens of their property and freedom, while pursuing a lawful trade within our own borders. If she continues to evade our -demands, or as has been reported, flic ueociations are broken, we hope the approaching Congress will take some decisive step. Ihe Western country waits only permission to give independence to Mexico and the resources of tiie iast can reduce the Florida and tuupuit South America. Frankfort Argui.

Important We have seen a XrXov'emm 1 (rrntleman at Gio-

raltar, dated June 21. statmgtnat he had conversed with an oiiicer belonging to the United States ship Peacock, just arrived at;tiiat place from Algiers and Tunis.--From. the latter place they had brought our consul, Mr. Anderson, who was induced to leave there, owing to his having been treated in a manner that would not justify his remaining longer as the representative of the Unired States. The Bey, for some time previous to his departure, would not permit him to come into his presence in consequence of his rc-AiL-nnr m triQ5 his hifrhncss' hand. (

He has also detained there an A-

merican citizen for demanuing , payment for property sold ins highness' to the amount of several thousand dollars. The Peacock left them getting their fortifications in order, and it is the general opinion that there will be a brush with them, soon after her joining the squndron at Marseilles. She will sail as soon as he can get in a supply of provision and water. Philadelphia, July 29, i Scc. " I have seen in some of the newspapers an account of the deaths in New-York, from the 10th to the 27th instant, twentythree deaths out of sixty are flux. I suppose most of that number were children. Feeling aa I do -for the anxiety which must prevail with parents whose tender ; offspring are more especially victims to this terrible calamity, I cannot hesitate to communicate the means I have found effectual in two striking instances in my own family. My son T. was so extremely' ill he lay on the bed with blood and stools running from him, and he could not have survived under such a debilitating state twenty-four hours longer. We gave him glisters of flaxseed boiled in water every hour, and by a few repetitions brought him to proper stools. The prescription being to discontinue the glister, or the frequency of them, according to the appearance of natural stools. His drink, hartshorn boiled in water and mixed with milk. Food, rice, well boiled, until perfectly soft, and sweetened with loaf sugar. He was restored in twelve hours so far as to play about the room. How wonderful a change ! " I was at New-York when my son T. was taken down. On my return home I found him almost gone. He had an eminent physician, giving him every possible attention, yet I have no doubt but a few days more would have totally exhausted him. I gave two glisters of the flaxseed, which perfectly restored his bowels, and he had only his weakness to overcome. In one week he was able to accompany me to New-York. The flaxseed being boiled in water becomes a mucilaginous substance, which coats the intestines, and t akes away the acrimony, and

consequently the tenesmus is removed. I have stated facts ; and under the idea that you should 'make it public, the lives of many children, will be saved, ..probably some parents."
