It you con cede to the proportion iny name is left with thr printer. If you do not, 1 must con clude that the person who offered, has been cunning enough to decline, or that you are liars. 7o the proprietors of Jlagtt, and othcrt <aho hep road horse:. Travelling lately 10 Richmond, in the ttage, I observed one of the horses to limp, and upon examination found the joints a bove the fore liootn excoriated, about the size ofa dollar, by the ft 1 iking ofbisfho?s in trotting. This is a defeft to which horfrs are very fubjefi, but the remedy is I be heve, krrown to few, for otherwise it will be difficult to account for the matter of fafl, that so rrany of that valuable class of ani mals, in every part of 'he country, are at this day fuffering under this toiture. I prtfume it will only be neceflary to mention the remedy, to induce every horse matter to give it a trial. S<"tne time ago having occasion to drive a horse a few days journey in a single chait, I found he cut himfeli so much that I was obliged to 'akc off his shoes. Shortly after, I fell in wi h a fmi h' who undertook to shoe him in such a maru ner as to prevent it, and the method he took was, to make that half of the (hoe which lies under the inside of the Ijoof conGdera bly thicker than the other half ; the e led of which is, that the inside half of the shoes being the heaviest, the horse will throw his leg' wider apart in trotting. This experi ment fully answered the intent, for in driv ing the distance of two hundred miles after wards, my horse d : d not, to my knowledge, strike himfclf on«r. I had often before heard of this method of flioeing, but had not paid much attention to it, for in fa£t, I much doubted its efficacy. It is to be observed, the experiment I made wai with the hind teet, but have no doubt it would prove equally eifeAual with the fore feet, which latter are more frequently cut in trot ing than the former. I cannot conclude without requesting all f#ch printers as may think humanity to the brute creation, or the public benefit, worthy of attention, to give this a phce in their papers.

It was' demanded of him that he (liould follow the example of the Nizarr„ and dismiss the French officers in his service.

STUTGARD, June 3. It is said that gen. Vucafiowien lias inter cepted in Piedmont a'courier of Gen. Mo reau to Gen. Maffena; and that Gen. Mo reau in his dispatches had complained of not receiving reinforcements from France and made rather an unfavourable statement of his position. In his rear, in the province of Mondovi, tliei e was an infurreflion of 10,- 000 peafjfits, who had cairied off his small {lores convoys, whilll the enemy's army in front formed a demi-circle r.mnd him to ward* Verne, Caflel, Tortona and Novi. In this critical situation he had r,o other alter native than that of inarching against the pea'antscf Mondovi, in order to secure his rtar "before the enemy joined the infiSrgents, and cut off his retreat to Con}. One tiling not less extraordinary is, that the army of Naples, the firft column of which had pro ceeded towards Rome firce rhe 3J Floreal (April 23) had not effisSed itp jundtion with Gen. Moreau on ihe 27th. It appears that its progress has been etarded by two causes, the one that Gen. Scherer had di rested it to ptoceed by Romagna, Bologne, and Ferrara, by which it could' only enter Tufcany, by going cotifiderably out of the way; and the other that the columns of this army have been much harraffcd on rlieir road, not only by the iafurgenis, but by the Anglo Neapolitans, who made a descent upon his rear, in order to oblige him to turn and give battle.

The address of the former to the Dire&ory, is full of com plaints and reproaches, and undifguifedly states that a fermentation very generally exifls, and they are surrounded by dan gers. The Cotmcilof Five Hundred, besides their addiefs to the DireiScry, which so fully unveils the desperate condition of their country, ha*e puhlifhed a Proclamation to the Prench p«opfc. which we regfet that we caenot, from. the late hour at which these Joursals arrived, give at length.

Crawfurd, that General Bcllegarde had driven General Lacourbe from St. Gothard. The latter wu behind the valley of Durferem, and was endeavoring to cover the approachet to Al torf. This intelligence Ihews us, that in. eluding the Grifons country, more than half of Switcerland is already delivered from the Usurpers, who in vain (hed their Wood to maintain their cruel dominion in that country. This morning arrived a mail from Dubl n, which brought letters and papers of the 13th inft. They contradift the report of a speedy diffoluiion of the Parliament of that Kingdom. June 19.
