loo little considering the trouble of their employments, It the expense and Inconvenience of living at Washington. But i certain class of editors have officiously brought forward the subject, in order to impress the public mind with an opinion that our government the most costly in the world, we will meet this verv unjust and insidous charge with a bw bets, taken from the million of expensive trappings oi Royalty, which bear so heavily on the pe ople of the British islands, which have involved them in want and wretchedness and have brut' them to the brink of a national bankrupt rv.

' To bring this subject at once to a clear and decisive issue, we shall fix upon but one article of expCnce of the British government By the accounts lately presented to the house of commons, it appears that the prince regent's expense fm one quarter of a year, ending on the 5th of Jul v 1814 amounted to 199 195. 16v. fd exc.usive of the establishments of the princess of Wales and the princess Charlotte, which last has been much an niented bv her marriage with prince Coburr Nr was all the expense oi the lord steward! department included in this account as Mr. Brent, the clerk declared to the house, that the bills were so various and numerous that it was impracticable to give any proper description of them 1" It is curious to observe the Charges feithis account of only onf. quarter's expenses to maintain the dignity of his royal highness the prince regent, all of which are saddled on the back of John Bull, bending to the earth with his load of royalty There is a charge of 25,000. tot additional buildings at Carlton -house -- for preparations for a grand Fete, 26 000. exclusive of the temple in the park, and the frand fleet on the Serpentine River.

TUOM tub ImOiana Register. Wine Prospects. It is with much satisfaction that we communicate to our distant readers, that the vineyards, in the vicinity, have never offered brighter prospects of rewarding the labours of the vine dressers than they do at tins time, while the crops of corn aie commonly promissing The Vineyards offer to the view such profusion of fruit as to nourish in us the hope of a most exuberant vintage this fall ; which will handsomely compensate the vinedressers for the partial failure I f thai oi the last ear. Upon reflecting on the immense advantages that WOUid result to society as well as to the Individuals woo would engage in it should this branch of agriculture become general on the banks and hillocks of the Ohio; we are astonished that the example set by the Swis settlers in this neighborhood is not generally followed by the inhabitants of the borders of this beautiful river. The valley through which the O no runs is capable to be made to produce as much wine as would suffice for the consumption of the whoU of the United States. What happy effect on the morals of society wonid not be pro tared If wine could be substituted to the poisonous beverages which impair the health of besot Sc demoralise the American peop l ? what Immense numbers of families might like those few sons of Helvetia who have planted the vine here fin 1 health and peace and sweet content." on the shores of the great Ohio if they would make it their business to cultivate the vine.

It would be gratifying to correspond with that established at New -York. I have received from you the Constitution of the last mentioned Society, for which I return you my thanks." To THE En I TOR OF THE LoUISVILiE ( OK RES TON OF. NT, SIR. Since that terrible disorder, Small Fo r, has at least made its appear ance among us C ow Pox lias become an object of genera) attention. 1 therefore embrace the medium which your paper presents, in concisely describing its gen nine character, together with these variations which occasionally arise, tending to destroy its protecting influence From having observed a few cases of the spin ions kind in this neighbourhood, I am fearful that some temporary discredit will be attached to accinc inoculation. I therefore think that every effort to awaken a proper attention to this invaluable ciscovery, however ieeblc, may serve the glorious purpose of arresting the progress of the present dreadful malady. I trust to be excused, should I chance to repeat what has already been made public. My great object is, to inform those who have never read of, or seen the disease, and whose place of residence is far removed from that oi a physician The usual appearance of the genuine

cow nox m those who have been vaccm

ated as indicative of success, is as follows : About the third day after the puncture has been made, a small red spot is very distinguishable ; this continues gradually to increase in size, becomes hard and a small circular, or oval tumour, of a milky whiteness, is formed, lisin a little above t .c level of skin. About the sixth day ti e tumour contains a small qu inttty of fluid as clear as Water ; this continues to increase, and the vesicle to fill, tili about the ninth daw, at which time it has arrived at its point of perfection l lie margin of the muiiri- is wi 11 ee lined, never rouirh or

a pustule is used, the slightest possib puncture with a lancet witt be fotnv sufficient. If cotton thread, previous!) moistened with matter, be resorted to then a small incision is made in one cm both arms, into which let a piece of ti t thread be inserted, about one forth of ar inch in length, and confined for a day oi two with a bandage or court plaister Before I concluded it will be proper to mention that the cow pox affords no protection against small pox, before the ninth day.

in its

surface a thick scab is gradually formed, of a brown, mahogany, or tarn irind stone contour, which adhering sometimes for two weeks, fails off, leaving the skin beheath a little marked. Such appears to be the progress of the genuine cow pox. A particular atten tion to the rise of the pustule, and t' c appearance of the inflamatory blush around it, cannot be too strongly enforced : for it tsoniy on tne regular appearance of the inoculation in these stages that confidence should be placed, for security against the smad pox. In the spurious eases, the pustule never assumes the true character of cow pox : it contains a thin, yellow, muddy fluid, sometimes resembiin matter,
