Paris, July It. Our government has received h courier from the Hague with despatches froin the marqui9 of Dlmatia. They

announce that the cabinet of the Hague has

received the reply of the Conference to the.

projected treaty, but that it still persists in

refusing to accede to the propositions ot the

five power. Private letters from the Hague

add, that the king of Holland ha just receiv

ed inteltisence from Prince Frederick of

Holland, dated at Berlin, which indicate a

disposition on the part of the Prussian go

vernment, to sustain the Dutch cabinet in the course which it has hitherto pursued. And

in truth, when we see the Au-trians and Prussians on the point of establishing themselves on ihe Rhine, it is not surprising, that

all concession is refused, since it is certain that those powers w ill assi6t the Dutch, the moment France shall render aid to the Bel

Miguel. An official pio'ocol of measures adopted by the German confederacy has been published the" chief object of which Wems to be to crush ihe spurt of freedom in Germany, to put down the legislative bodies of those states which possess them, and to protect Anuria and Prussia againt the dangerous example of popular insti tutionfl. The equipment f the fleet in England, appa

rently wi h a view of hostile qeration, has xcited some Attention, and conjecture is busy

as to its destination. The news from Holland ami weirs a waihke aspect. The dafd says:

to prosecute my inquiries l y deep reedrche. and to make fnch ohseryatinnt as would he hkely to lead to the object I had proposed to

myself, and which was to determine the degree of efficacy the htiaco contained as a curative ol

the yellow fever.

But few cases of that malady have occurred

this year (up to the present day) in rder to

render my mqnines conclusive. Neveithiess, out of twenty persons who were attacked with yellow fever, and who were treated with hua.

co, not one has fallen a victim. I5ut if the observations which I have been able make are too limited to authorize me to sire a definite nnd nnsitive ooinion. at all e.

i i ' pi vents, they have enabled me to judge of the

peculiar phenomenon which develones itself

i

under the influence of this remedy, in those

objects to which it was applied. No one took the decoction of huaco without

experiencing a uepension of the agitation to

which they were a prey, which proves that this

remedy acts as a modihcatot of the nervous

system, all the patients eiperienced a pleasant

heat which deyeloped itelf in the. stomach, and

a little after experiencing this heat in the sto

mach, the same was felt at all the extremities

of the body, with sensations of pricking in the

skin, which was quickly followed by perspira

tion and th placidity of the skin; this proves

the full developement which the circulation ac quires -inder the influence of the huaco.

In reflecting on the plague which has devas tated Europe, and which has already reached

one point of the American continent in comparing the symptoms which characterize the cholera morbus with those which I have always observed in the yellow fever I became convinced, that although separate in particulars easily to be distinguished, yet the two cruel maladies are of the same origin, and that their causes, only appreciated by their dismal effects, nenetrate into the animal system, in the

ir "

same manner, and determine early in the sarna

mortal affection?

Very woody districts in Russia w ere entirely preserved' from this destructive scourge." Krisfossy Island, situated among the populous islands of Si.

The island is low and damp, but is covered by a superb forest.

Tuesday last, a letter, addressed to Ihe gove

nor of thi state, accompanied with a small box.

t containing a quantity of the Mexican plant, Hu.

cl qualities of the h.inco. The president of ihe board has been diiected to try the viitue of this plant, and to lay the result of his experi ments before the public.

It has alo been found eihcacinus in v ellow fever, and fioni l'ie analogy existing ; be.
