The juices imbibe! by the roots fiom tne earth, and immedi ately changed to the proper sap of DHtive stock ascend and spread through all the limbs ; anil if each of these be grafted with a different fruit, the varieties will be as numer ous as the brant hes. By the modern discoveries in chemistrv. these mysterious effects seem fo be accounted for. For it appears that all kinds of plants are composed of a smll huinber of ele ments, whose different arrange - - ments and combinations produce all the varieties in question. Sel dom more tnan frven or tight of these elements belong to plants, and three constitute the greatest part of their organised master. But each of these is a compound, con sisting of the same materials only in different proportions. The three principal ingredients in the foKf o! 1 mis and which by them elabora ted constitute the food of nianand other animals, are njtmed by chem ist, carbon, oxvgene, and hydro-, g e ; in other words, are charcoal, vita air, and inflammable air ; and these exist in ihe air we breathe. as well as manures consisting of vege table and animal mutters. I' may seem incredible th&t the thin airman invisible matter, should be changed, in the process of vegetation, into solid substances, jis wood and stone : but nothing bas been more clearlv ascertained than that in 100 parts of pure lime stone. 45 parts are fixed air, or carbonic acid ; which, in 'he act of burning the so ae into lime, is expelled : for if at that time the stone be weighed, it will be found to h.tve lost so much of its oiiginal s weight It is also well known that lifts- same lime, which slaked with vvcr, or exposed to the air, fall down into a powder, will immedi' ately afterwards beiri r o Imbibe fixed air f om he atmosphere, and eventually, though slowly, recover i- original weight. It is this ame carbonic acid, or fixed air, which at he bottom of wells, every year proves fatal to a number of lives. For this air, when separate, being heavier than the aiv oi the atmos phere, sinks and lemains at the bottom of wells, nd is a deadly poi sn. It is the oxygene in the at Tnosphpre, called also vital air, be cause essential to animal life, which mingled with the fixed air, renders the later harmless. I have introduced these few re marks on the food of plants, to pre sent an ilea a very fiint one ir deed of that very mtei esting sub which, .s already ob-erved, has so long employed the thoughts of philosophers and agricultural wriics ; bui the aiisfac tnry dis covery of whicb seems to h;jve been reervt-d for the present .ige.

But this is of various qualities. Very little oftt i purely calcareous. Some lime stones in Great Britain have been found to contain eleven parts in twelve of sand Of such lime, if sixty bush els were spread over an acre of giound. five bushels only of cal careous matter would be applied. To know then thejconstitu ion of the lime he use, is important to the farmer; and not less so to the ma son in prepamig his mortar, which wil r qi ii e the addition of more or less sand, according to the compo sition of the lime. All marles con tain calcareous matter, and are ol greater ot less value, according to the proportion which this bears to che clay, sand, or other substances mingled with it. All shell fish will supply this trateiial. In some parts of the United States, remote from limestone, oyser shells aie burnt to obtain lin e for building ; and in all seaport towns where ma ny oys 'ers are used for food, their shells will be found in quantities deserving th" neighbouring tanner's attention ; and if raised in piles, mingled with wood, may be burnt to lime. Of the vast improvements of the lai'ds in Scotland, within the last forty or fifty years, lime has been the basis: and the use of it the first step towards rendering the application of manures, striet ly so called, highly prodjut tive. There thev wiil lay fo,ii fifty to two hun dred or more bushels on an acre In Penti's) Ivania, wheie lime has been long and extensively used, twenty to fifty bushels to the acre have been found sufficient, and safer than any latger quantity, at least in the fitst application A remarkable instance of the bencfi cial use of lime, ihcuh only at the rate of about twenty bushels to the acre, well merits a riecital. The experiment was made on a field ot ten acres, for which the farmer hr d provided two hundred bushels; but it being hi- fii s t essay in usu g lime, it so happened that the whole quantity was disposed Of when he had gone over nine acres. Indian corn was planted ; and the crop was very great- The next year, the field was fallowed, and at seed time sown, a part with wheat and a part with rye ; and good crops were pro duced Iu the Spring (says the farmer) I sowed it with clover and timothy (Herdsgtass) anoUput two bushels of plaster on an acre ; and had as great a crop, of clover as could grow ; it lay three weeks be fore the time of mowing.' lie adds The lime and plaster did aU tiistfor no land could be poorer before) Where I laid no lime", I got no clover- although I put on the plaster" Thevisi'nd. of soi".

BOSTON, JUNE 26. B) the arrival at this port, ester d,.y, of the brig Canton, Capt. Tunison, in 30 days from St Andero, (Spain,) we are furnished with the following important intelligence ft om tht French and Spanish armies, communicated by capt. T. from his private journal. We do not learn that any Spanish papers have been received by the Canton. : Tlie Canton arrived at St Andeilo the 27th of April, on which d;iy Gen Luga entered the place at the ht ad of 30G militia, in opposition to the constitution, and immediately pulled down the stone on which was in scribed, " Long live the Constitu tion," and set up another in its place, on which w s engraven " Long live Ferdinand VII " On the 3d of May, 30O0 French troops, undei Gen. Dahiia, entered St. Andero, destined to M drid Two days after, they quitted St. Andero. leaving the Spanish General Loiiga to keep out the Constitute nlistsl At 10 o'clock at nighijone of Lougals spies brought intelligence that a party of Constitutional troops were within six leagues of the place. Louga imnieotately embarked his troops in boats, and crossed to the opposite side of the Bay, leaving upwards of one hundred stands of arms. Oi the. 8ti Gen. Louga again en tered the town with his mn, sup ported by a body of French troops in his rear. On the 10th the French troops entered the town to'' the num ber of 15,000, and at 6, P. M. left it and inarched towards St. Antonio to attack the place in co operation with a Fnnch squadron, which w s blockading it. St. Antonio is about six le igues tast of St. Andero, and is a very s rongly fortified place. The garrison consists of 3000 ..'constitution al troops, commanded bv good oil ficers, all of whom have sworn nevet to surrender. Oh the. 15th one. of the brigs ot the. blockading squadron which coin' sists of tvo snips of the line, one frigate, one corvette, and three brigs came into the harbor of St. Andortjf' and left again on We 18th, but in going put lost both m sts by tin board in a gust of wind. SITe wal lowed offby the boats of the squad 3 ron On the 20th, intelligence was re" ceived by post, c? finnatory of. a previous report of the defeat of th, 5 French army near Catalonia, by th Spanish forces under General MinaVi The battje was fought within a fe leagues of Catalonia. The . tw armies were said to consist of 20.000 men tacn. j. tie. toss Ot ' lie t ieic is stated at 5,000 men, and that 0' the Spanish at 3,500. Captain ,F I further states that he saw a copy o . the Spanish) official account Of the battle, ;w hie I. represented the French to have been completely deteatild. On this day 20h) the men un der General L'uga were all taken prisoners by a party from St. An tonio, wi jcli alsocaptur d a detach . ment of the French trKps. about 200 in number, togtther with from 400 ti 500 mules, laden with am munition md -tores of various kinds, with about $40,000 in money, all intended f 1 tht French army, which whs supposed to 1 e besieging St. AiMiHii.

That the shield must be the Mexican Eagle, standing on the left foot upon a nopal, or cochineal fig tr-e, which may grow from a rock among the waters of the lake, and with the right foot grasping a snake, and holding it in a posture for tear ing it to pieces with the beak; and that this bl izon must.be bordered with two branches, the one of laurel, and the other of oak, aCcoiding to the design adopted by the first defen ders of the Independence. 2d. In respect to the National Flag, it is decreed that it shall be the same as heretofore, with the only exception of placing the Eagle without a crowu, which is also to be the case in the shield.

The population of the city of Edinburgh, amounts to 100,000 in hahitants, and the number ot electors who return the Member for Purlia. ment, is ko more than 20; 19 of which number are in the practice of constantly naming their successors.

A petition signed by 7,000 inhabitants of that city, was present ed by Air Abercrombh-, in the House of Commons, in the begin ing of May last, praying for some alteration if the mode of electing their representative The petition was opposed by those members who are the invariable enemn s of parlia mentary reform, on the ground that it was an attempt to deceive the bouse into t e subject by piecemeal. ivir. W Dnndas, the member return ed by the 33 electors, slso opposed the petition, stating that the peti tioners asked the house to infringe he chartered rights of thVchy of Edinburgh lights which had. been secured to them by the solemn act of the union. The petition was ordered to be printed,; and Mr..
