Good Bacon The following is the mode oF curing bacon in Virginia, laid down by a

gentleman of the Isle of Wight county, who .has had much experience in ihc process. Lancaster Jour. ' To have good bacon, the pork must be Fat; it may possibly be too fat, though that is very rarely the case in Virginia. Hogs about eighteen months old, which are raised

poor, and afterwards well tatteci, in a snore time, on corn, are, I think, decidedly to be preferred Before the pork be salted up it should be thorough'y cold, a circumstance indispensible to its lasting preservation; and it is at least the safest course, in our uncertain climate, to lose no time afterwards. To give bacon its most exquisite flavor, both molasses or Sugar and saltpetre should be used. 1 usually put a table spoonful or two of molasses on the flesh side of the ham, a little before it is salted, a .d after the molasses is rubbed over it, a heaping spoonful or two of finely pulverized saltpetre ; the ham supposed to veigh, when cured, from tvfelvc to fifteen pounds. I put nearly the same quantity on the middlings and shoulders, and proportion-

ably on the smaller pieces, believing that it

essentially contributes not only towards lm

proving the flavor and appearance, but also to the pteservation of bacon, and as a preventative against the worm, bug and skipper.

In order to ensure perfectly sound bacon, the

Dork must be salted at least twice. 1 he se

cond salting should take place about the

third day after the first, at which time I add ab;ut a third of the quantity of saltpetre applied in the first instance. If, however, the pork should be frozen when salted in the first instance, it should be re salted as soon as practicable after it thaws, without which there is great danger of injury. I use the Liverpool sack salt, and prefer it on account of its fineness. A bushel to the thousand " weight of pork has been supposed a suffi cient quantity. I think it too little, and would not by any means advise that there should be any stint of salt. Five pounds of saltpetre to the above mentioned quantity of pork is perhaps quite enough Care should be taken to let thebiine drain off from the pork, whilst in

salt, as its contact with it tends to injure its

flavor. If salted in casks, there should be a

hole in the bottom after the second salting,

Late From England The ship Alex an

dcr, captain Baldwin, has arrived at Philadel

phia, fiom Liverpool, bringing dates horn

London to the 7th, and Liverpool to the 8th July For the following extracts we are indebted to our correspondents, the editors of the Philadelphia Gazette and tlx U. S. Gaz. LONDON, JULY 7. Russia and Turkey We had by the previous intelligence, been prepared for the fall of Ibrail ; but it was not till after an assault of the most sanguinary kind. By the official bulletin, of which the following is the substance, it will be seen that the Tutks defended themselves with the most daring courage. At first the Russians were compelled to retreat, but resuming their position with great bravery and rapidity, and a mine exploding on

the I6lh, which had not exploded the day be

fore, an armistice for ten days was demanded, but refused, and only twenty-four hours granted. At the expiration of that time the fortress surrendered. Russian Bulletin The Messager des Chambres, dated Sunday. Juiy 6, contains an ofiicial bulletin of the Russian army, dated from the Ramparts of Tragan, 20th of June, brought in fourteen days from the Russian head quarters, by an extraordinary express. I he bulletin contains at great length the details of the siege of Brailow, which surrendered after an assault, which cost the Russians a great many men. The bridges having been deemed practicable, it was resolved to attempt to take the place by storm on the 15th. All the mines were to be sprung at once, and immediately alter the explosion the troops were to mount

tbs breaches. One of the mines, however;

that the brine may escape. There arc dii blew up too suon ; its c:; plosion butiedthe fcrent oprwions as to the length of time the. j officer who was to fire the second mine, which pork should remain in salt I would recom. j did not b'ow up. The third did blow up mend four weeks. If saltpetre in sufficient but amilst the clouds of dust and smoke nnantities be used, fat pork can scarcely be j which arose on nil sulc;. it v rs impossible to

.... . I made too salt. I have known prime excel distinguish ilic state ol the breaches

lent bacon to have remained in salt more than three months. The operation in curing bacon is1 the smoking of it. This may be sufficiently well done perhaps with any kind of vood, but strong soiid green would, as hickory, or oak, is the best. Contrary to old opinions, the operation is beet carried on in the closest smoke house ; a considerable degree of heat, too, is not only perhaps not injurious, but promotes and facilitates, I believe, theoperation. The old idea of the fire tainting meat is erroneous. The effect so called is occasioned by the pork not being thoroughly

cured Bacon should be smoked until it is of

a dark reddish brown color ; and it is best done in clear dry weather. In hanging it up it is most advantageous to put the joints highest, for, as they are the most assailable by the skipper fly, they arc least likely thereby to have eggs deposited on thenl. There is an opinion which has long universally pre

vailed, and which I think the experience of

the last winter has belied. It is that if pork be once thoroughly cold before salting, it may, with proper care, be saved. This, in ordinary winters, 13 true. But in such a winter as last, when the thermometer ran, in twenty four hours, from between thirty and forty to between sixty and seventy, and remained si for four or five days, I do not think that fat and large pork can be saved by any reasonable attention to it."

From the Xevj England Galaxy. POLI 1TCS We are indebted to a friend at Cincinnati for six numbers cf Truth's Advocate," a monthly publication, advocating

the re-election of Mr. Adams, or rather opposing that of General Jackson; for we do not find in any of the numbers cny thing in support of the present administration. Every thine: in the shape of argument and ridicule, is brought against the claims of General Jackson, and it is a powerful work. The difficulty in such papers is that they arc not read, by any but those who arc of the same opinions with the authors ; no persons are convinced or reclaimed from the opposite party, and for any effect they can have upon the public, at least in this part of the country, the labor is thrown away. The separate parties pay for abusing each other and praising themselvcr or their candidates, and little good comes to any but the Printers.

Inafter times, the American people would

scarcely believe that one of their judges of

the Supreme court should be so lost to

shame and decency, as to denounce the advo

cates of Andrew Jackson to he nothing more

or less than "VAGABONDS and FOR

The columns' rushed hward to the assault ; a;l th- officers a' ' generals were at their head, with the v ... i. t ra who had of lcrcd to he the first to scale th? enemy's rampart. Those on the right, to the number of one hundred and twenty, succeeded in sea ling the walls ; hut, ?,z they could not he supported, they were all killed, except a suhaltern officer, who threw himself into the Da nube. On the left the same obstacles appeared, and after a most desperate action it was necessary to sound a retreat, which was effected in great order, but with considerable loss, for the fire of the Turks which was equally heavy and well directed, redoubled when they saw our troops retreat ; and desirous of profiting by their success to destroy

our works, they made six sallies against the regiment of Cazan, which repulsed them all, and killed many of the enemy. At half past eleven our troops occupied the same position

as bctorc the attack, and the enemy had not been able to carry or damage any of cur works. On the 16th, the mine which could not explode the day before, was blown up by order of the grand duke Michael ; and, on the '7lh, Turkish envoys came to ask an armistice for ten days, promising that this place should be surrendered if not relieved by that

time. The grand duke granted them a truce for twenty-four hours, which they accepted The 15th saw our generals and troops rival cu !i other in bravery ; but our loss was severe. Major general Wolf and major genl. Timroth were killed, and six hundred and forty men. Among the wounded are one general, three colonels, sixteen superior ofTi cers, and one thousand three hundred and

forty subalterns and privates, many of whom, however, will be able to return to the ranks in

a few days. The Turks defended themselves

with a courage worthy of the highest praise. Their loss in killed was, however, sensible, in the sallies which they made. Colonel BibikofT, aid-de camp to the errand

duke Michael, has this moment brought to

the emperor the keys of Brailow, which sur

rendered at the expiration of the truce. At

the same time news arrived of the surrender

of the fortress of Matchim.

We find in some of the German papers, to the 1st, which arrived this morning, a long article, given as an extract from a letter dated June 6, written by an English officer on board one of the ships oiT Nvarin. It gives a very

unfavorable picture of the Greeks, and gen

crally of the Philhellcnists who had ioined

them. The harbors of Navarinoand Modon,

he states to be strictly blockaded to the great

annoyance of Ibrahim Pacha, who, however, was in no want cf supplies, as his own men

had just reached the harvest, and plundered the inhabitants oi the Morea. London, July 7. Last night there were arrivals of Lisbon, Paris, Brussels, and German papers. The Lisbon Gaiettes, which are from the 24th to the 28th ult. inclusive, confirmed the report which had appeared some days since in the Paris papers, of the cortes having declared don Miguel king ol

Portugal. One of his first acts, was to recall Chaves and the other Portuguese who had taken up arms to put down the constitutional system. The Gazettes also contain the substance of an ofiicial despatch from the officer commanding the advanced guard of the rj.yalists, in which he claims a victory over the Constitutional troops, and as he dates his des patch from Coimbra, his claim can scarcely be disputed. The only news in the Paris papers, which arrived last night lv express, re

fers to the evacuation of Cadiz bv the French j

troops, which was to convey them back to France. The German papers contain accounts from

Greece, stating that Ibrahim Pacha, alter se- i vcial inetTeclual attempts to persuade the al lied admirals to relax in iheir systems ol blockade, he sent a large division of his troops into the interior of the Morea, in order to supply his wants at the expense of the wretch d inhabitants. 'I here is no news in any ol these papers I torn tiic theatre of war ol a later date than what had previously reached Us. An article under the head of Jasy, s;.c dilates on the speedy surrender of Brailow, without stating, howevei, any gioundsfor this speculation. In the mean time it omits the heavv loss already sustained bv the Russians in the course of the siege: and if they

remain ?s long before the other Tinkish fortresses, they will not add much to their reputation in this particular branch of the military art. ftALTIMORE, AUGUST 25. Late from Europe.

ppens that the Turks behave, in every encounter, not only with the mn.t determined bravery, but also with consider able skill. Te Dcum was sung at St. Petersburg on the 19th ultimo, on account of the destruction of the Turkish flotilla on the Danube, and the surrender of Issaktchi. The Russians will, probably, find their march to Constantinople a much more difficult afiair than thev anticipated. A statement, extracted from an article dated Constantinople, May 3d, and said to proceed from the office of the grand vizier.

pjives the number of 177,050 men as the total amount of the paid and unpaid troops that will be sent into the field to oppose the Rus sians. The amount of the paid and disciplined troops i? given at eighty thousand men ; those not paid and levied by the pachas amount to 97,050; among this number there are thirty thousand men for the defence of the frontier of E'zcrum. seven thousand five hundred and fifty for Gallipoli and the plains of Troy, seventeen thousand for the fortresses

in Asia and Romelia, fifteen thousand for the

defence of Constantinople, as many for the
