V. - done, the curd is put into a hoop or case or mould of the shafie and depth of the two hatter's blocks, and on the top a common wooden cover is put, of a size a little lessy than the hoop or case ' W mould, the weight of which is the only and slight pressure the moulded curd or j new maae cheese sustains, if t nercr pressed by force or weights in the manner of most other cheeses. When the curd has drained and consolidated, . so 'as to be come firm enough to stand, it is take. out and set to drain, or dry and harden in a Band of linncn, which is fixed all round it. V This band is changed every day till the cheese has become firm and sufficiently dry, ' jThey are eaten the next year -; sojrie persons prefer to keep them till they begin to mould, when, of course they .must be quite! or rather ripe. These cheeses, are so rich and .delicate, as to beconie heated and to suffer in a close or warm place, in a ship, and therefore are difficult to bring to America, in per fect condition. . The curd is not to be broken, as ;s done in making other cheeses. A sieve is used to drain the curd. ' A) brush is employed every day after the cheese is formed ani consolidated .v to brush the coat. "A cheese soil is used to take the curd cut of the whey to pass it from the place of first making into, the hoop or mould, i ,"; FROM THE? AMERICAN WATCIIM.VN. TO FARMERS. i In the winter of; 181, a gentleman in this city made the following experiment. He placed a turkey in an enclosure about four or five feet long, two feet wide and tliree or four feet high. He excluded as much light as he could without prevent ing a circulation of air, and fed the tur key with soft brick broken Into pieces, with charcoal also broken, and with six grains of corn per day. Fresh water was daily supplied. The box or coop in which the turkey, was placed he always locked up with his own hands, and is per fectly confident that nobody interfered with the experiment. At the end of one month he invited a number of his neigTibours, among 6th ers two physicians. The turkey, now . very. large and heavy, was killed arid opened by the physicians, and was found to be filled jip full with fat. The gizzard and entrails were dissected, and nothing was found but a residum of charcoal and brick. To conclude the examination satisfactorily, the turkey was eaten and found to be very good. ) Last winter he again .repeated the ex periment 'with the same success. ; The circumstance bv which he was induced to make thejexperiment is a ve ry, curious one. One of his neighbours informed him, that being driven from the city by the fever of 1793, his family: recollected tint some fowls had lived in a kind of loft over his workshop, had , been forgotten in the hurry of their re moval and would xertainly be starved. They were absent six or eight weeks, and oh the retiring of the pestilence, returned. ; To their great astonishment, the fowls were not only alive, but very fat, although there was nothing but char coal and shavings,, that they coulcl have eaten,1 and some water that had been left in the trough of a grindstone plied them with drink. . had C. sup R. FROM THS MEDICAL RErOSlTORY. AMERICAN GUMi Communicated by Dr. John Gibson, of New Madrid, Ajrril 7, 1820. I have lately made a discovery. V tnim- simillar to Gum Arabic, can be made iii great abundance from the wild grape vine of this. country. The purest and most transparent kind was collected the other duy rom n vine that had been I divided for the purpose of transplantation, iwhich, by standing in the sun, produced & quantity of the pure gum. We know a number of vegetables that prod ute gum, generally combined with the gallic acid, such as the amygdalus persica, (peach tree,) cerasusylvatica, or prunus virginiana, (wild cherry,) and some others ; but in the grape vine it is pure at.d unmixed. ' The greater part of the western Country is overgrown by this scandant vegetable, and more especially the valley of Mississippi. The vitis aes tivalis and "vitis lasbrusca of Bart ram, produce it in greater abundance than the other varieties. As soon as the sap be gins to rise in the spring, is the season to collect it. The mode j of manufacturing it is simple, cheap, and requires but little rlabor to proudce it. Divide the vinje, 'and set a vessel under it to receive the waterthat flows from its Wounded ves sels. This water evaporates by insolation and produces the gum without any far ther trouble. It would seem from this, ft at the clear transparent sap of tbe grape , vine, Is nothing but the pure gum held in solution by water. Any quantity might; be manufactured of a superior quality to that of the Fast, sufficient not only to supply the home market, but that of Eu rope also.

The warrior of the waters . is gone to the lana oi spirits, ana tne gnosc ei nis fathers rejoice not in his coming for he came not in the storm of battle. The warrior of the waters was a great lion. When he rose in his rage, and fchook himself, the green hills trembled. When in anger he thundered his voice, the storm did follow. He bounded over the waters, and the beast of other moun tains hid in fear. He stretched his paw over the great waters and gored the lion of the east. He was mighty and great as the Alleghany. He was strong and fierce as the torrent down the steeps of Niagra., Mighty and great he was. Yet a little bee did overcome him. Public opinion was a small bee, and the lion might have crushed it with his foot. Cut the little bee crept into the ear of the great lion, and stung him on the strings of life. The lion was vanquished and the ;li le bee yet lives, and. buzzes of his conquest. The warrior of the waters has gorie to the land of spirits and the ghosts of his fathers rejoice not for his coming, for he came not in the shroud of glory. Trom Cape De Verds. Extract of a letter , from a gentleman in - New Bedford, Valla Pray a, St. Jago. " For the first time arrived here on the 27th insO the U. States Ship Frank lin, 74, Com. Stewart, from the Med iterranean. It was an astonishing sight to the Portuguese to witness an American ship of such complete model and strength. Instead of subjecting the officers to jhe formalities and humiliations required of unarmed or inferior'-vessels, every indul gence was granted. Com. Stewart having the next eve ning obtained supplies 'for which he entered the port, he acquainted the American Consul (Samuel Hodges, Jnn. Esq.) that he was about to sail, and' desired him to inform his Excellency thel Governor6eneral who immediately is sued Drders for the ship to pass; but' by the negligence of the officers charged with communicating the order, the mosr distant batteries were not apprized that His Excellency's permission was granted, and opened a fire upon .the Franklin. His Excellency was much alarmed for the consequence, and instantly sent ex press for them to cease firing, but before he reached 12 or 15 guns had 'been dis charged, and -one shct passed through her main top sail. His Excellency then despatched the Captain of a Portuguese 20 gun brig of war, then in the harbour, to Com. Stewart, with an apology. The distance of the Franklin preventing him from reaching her in his boat, he re turned. - ; " The American Consul being pres ent and knowing that his Excellency was prompt in issuing his orders for the ship to pass, wrote to Com. Stewart at the earnest solicitation of his Excellency to communicate his humble apology, and despatched the Harbor Master, with the letter, who after being out all night, re turned without accomplishing his object. The ship having drifted to leeward, the next morning his Excellency dispatched a large pinnace with the Consul's letter to Com. S. who replied die was satisfied the firing was unintentional on the part of his Excellency ; but observed a shot had passed through his ship's maintop sail, for which he should demand satis faction, and send his boat ashore for the purpose ; but the strong lee current pre vented the ship from gaining to wind ward, and the wind increasing, she bore away, probably for the West Indies. Next morning a general order was issued, permitting any ship of war to leave whenever the commander thinks proper, enner nient or dav.

His reasons for issuing the or der were, that most of the Patriot priva teers were fitted out in America, and gen erally use the American flag. MURDERERS AND PIRATES. From the Philadelphia Union. . Every- day we must add something fresh some new variety of a hundred times repeated story to the catalogue of marine barbarities.- We have thought of pasting them in a row, in order to see at the end of the year their length, (which we imagine might festoon the whole de micircle of the Legislative Hall :) but the idea discouraged us of the undertaking. The extract which we are about to make, reminds us of another transaction con nected with the New-Orleans pirates, which was lately communicated 4o us by a resident of. New-Orleans, who had ev ery opportunity of knowing the particu lar facts ; and which we do not remem ber to have seen in print. In 1812, a packet sailed from New-Orleans, bound, we think, to France, in which a number of ladies and fewer gentlemen embarked. Among the former was a French lady whose known wealth was perhaps the cause of a disaster-; which in all its de tails is still left to be imagined, though there is little doubt of its nature. Some months.passed away and no intelligence was received from the vessel or its ill fated passengers ; but as a maried daughter of the lady whom we have just mentioned, was one morning walking the streets of New-Orleans, she saw, . (and fainted at the sight) her mother's jewels on the neck of a . woman, whom, com-J mon fame reported to be the mistress - of hafitte. This man stoutly denied that he. had any hand in the deed by which they fell into his jiands, but alleged that he won them in gambling with the pirates, whose seat was then the Island of Dar rataria. Vessel or passengers, were never seen or heard of, and if their bodies were suffered to have a grave in the Ocean, un polluted by these ruffians, it is not doubt ed in New-Orleans that the v. were each land every one murdered. Whether the fifteen recently reprieved, or any oftnem, were stained with this piracy, we know not ; but we ascertained ; presume the facts can be and if mercy is allowed to them, it will be so much the greater, but if punishment be defnanded, it will be the better deserved. A RARE INSTANCE OF GOOD FORTUNE. The principal incident in Coleman': Comedy of Fhe Heir at Law, was fully realized in this neighbourhood lately. A farmer who resided a few miles hence, died in very indigent circumstances, leav ing a son and a daughter wholly unpro vided for ; the latter was 'Compelled to go to service, .and the former was about to do the same. Searching one day among papers, wmcn Had been sent to his father, with the effects of a' deceased uncle, tfho died at sea, he discovered a Lottery Ticket, and upon enquiry, found that it had actually been drawn a Capital Prize of 10,000 ! in high glee with his good -tortune, he has taken a large farm stocked it well, and has given a hand some portion with his sister, who has married a young man to whorh she has long been attached.- -Isondon paper. ODD REASON FOR BAD SPELLING. : A yoUng gentleman, whose capacity for learning is not proverbial, having seen a young lady, and wishing to introduce himself to her, wrote a vflaming letter, filled with the mosjt extravagant profes sions of love. Upon showing it to a friend,5 " There, my boy (said he) what do you think of that ?" His friend on looking jt over, observed, " There are not three words spelt right." The other exclaimed, " How do you think a man can spell well with such a horrid pen.33 SPORTING ANECDOTE.

Lo ! at the mo ment the fatal weapon was entering, the turtle, in a most pitiful tone, cried oU, Mungo, Mungo, why dost thou v kill ine ! let me live apd happy will be thy days." The amazement of all around and most of all the affrighted Cook, can not be described, frot such was the effect that the knife was unconsciously drop ped, and Mungo Iran off crying, it was the Devil, and not a Turtle.,,--The scene was ludicrous in the extreme, and required all the pfesuasion of those pre sent, to convince the affrighted Cook, it was only a humorous trick of Mr. Charles, the Ventriloquist, who stood by and occa sioned this sport.

Poidson,s Adver. r Patent Gridironl-Mr. Lodowick Fos dick, of New-London, has invented a Gridiron, which Combines . economy with excellence and neatness in cooking! The great advantage it; has over the common gridiron now in use, is, that all the juices of the meats, (commonly called gravy) cooked upon it, instead of falling into the fire, are receivedin hollow bars and from them conducted into a tin pan. All the greasy smoke, therefore, which imparts a bad flavor to the! meat, is .wholly avoid ed. Attached to the hinder bar is a tin reflector, prevents much of the heat from escaping; and thereby facilitates the cooking. . The pan and reflector can both be removed' from the gridiron at pleasure. All who have used them do net hesitate, to bear testimony in their fa vour.
