The affair of the indemnities proceeds in the Diet at Ratifbon with that tardiness which may be expected where so many contrary interests are concerned. The French Minifter has delivered a note, strongly infilting on the integrity of Bavaria; and the Ruffian Minister has delivered one, referring to the original plan proposed by Ruffia, in concert with France, and regarding the Elector of Bavaria as underhisimmediate protection, as mediator. On the other hand, Auftria strenuously refuses to accede to the proposed plan of indemnities. Both parties refer to the Treaty of Luneville, and declare their earneft defire of fupporting it. Austria, however, instead of shewing any difpofition to evacuate Paffan, is taking every step to fecure the poffeffion of it; and an Auftrian corps is assembled at Feldkirch, and feveral others are on their march to the Tyrol. The main object of the Em peror is to obtain a fuller indemnity for the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and, with that view, it is faid, intends entering Suabia, to take poffeffion of fome districts there. Heffe Caffel, discontented, like Austria, is also seizing upon more. Baden (a French favourite) is reported to be gaining much. But, in truth, little is known as yet with respect to the refult.One report states, that the French Minif ter has declared, that if these affairs are not fettled within two months, the Republic will fend ro0,000 men into Ger. many to enforce the plan of the mediating Powers; while another afferts, that a new plan is shortly to be fabmitted to the Diet by the French Minister. A more probable circumstance is, that the new change of Ministers in Ruffia will operate in favour of Austria; and it is even faid, that the Emperor Alexander has acknowledged the juftice of the remonstrance of that Court; and that the Imperial Envoy, Count Saurau, is treated at Petersburgh with peculiar diftinction ! and the Police. General Waesmitinof is Minister of War, and Admiral Morwin of is to preside over the Marine Department. The change is general throughout all the public offices, but we shall not fatigue our readers with a lift of names with which they must be altogether unacquanted, and in which they can feel but little intereft. HOLLAND. A mysterious tranfaction has taken place in this Republic, which time only will elucidate. During the latter part of the prec ding month, and the beginning of the present, rumours were in circulation at the Hague and Amsterdam, of a change to be fuddenly and violently effected in the Government. The plot was attributed to the Jacobin party, and the names of General Daendels, Dumonceau, and others, were mentioned as the heads of the party. On the 5th of October General Daendels went to the Executive Authority to exculpate himself, and, on the 9th, he and General Dumonceau figned a declaration, denying all knowledge of the matter of which they were accused. Citizen Schimmelpenninck was also implicated, and was expected to be at the head of the new Government. It has fince been faid that the change was to be effected by an amicable agreement; and, though the matter has been disavowed, yet the beft-informed politicians still fufpect that it is really in agitation. It is, indeed, probably a link of that vast chain of ambitious speculation in which Bonaparte is at prefent engaged, but which feems at present involved in fo many difficulties, that it will probably end in his own destruction. GREAT BRITAIN. Happily our country is at present tranquil; and may it be long before we have any thing to report concerning it of political importance! fince it may be admitted as a maxim, that that country is most happy which affords the fewest materials for hiftory.

Yyz ACCOUNT ACCOUNT OF THE DISEASES IN LONDON, From the 20th of September to the 20th of October. Admitted under the Care of the Physicians of the Finsbury Dispensary. No. of Cafes. -39 7 8 II flat, and rounded at its end. Heach ach, lofs of strength and flesh; pains of the abdomen; a fenfe of weight, and fome11 times of a rolling ball, give fearful warn 15 ing, that this mischievous animal has taken up its refidence in the interior of the 39 human frame. It is generally found to inhabit the small inteftines; very rarely, indeed, the larger; and is usually attached to the internal coat, by means of a minute hooked process from the mouth, while the reft of its body is twisted in the form of a fmall bundle or ball. To eliminate it from 28 fuch a fituation must obviously require the application of remedies which powerfully excite the action of the intestines; or mechanically deftroy, or operate as a fpecific poifon, to the hoftile intruder. 5 18 13 21 19 6 19 21 Infantile diseases, in this last month, as in almost every other, constitute an important proportion of the periodical catalogue. Such complaints, for the most part, originate from a foul and morbid state of the intestinal canal, by which there is commonly generated fome one or other of the various species of worms. As this is a fubject, that has not been touched upon in the paft feries of these Reports, it may be worth while to say fomething concerning it in the prefent article. The worms that are particularly apt to infeft the human inteftines may be divided into four genera-Tænia, Lumbricus, Afcaris, and Fafciola. In their form, and in the part of the canal which they ufually inhabit, they differ confiderably from each other. The Tænia lata is the most noxious of the tribe, both on account of the extravagant length to which it will gradually extend itself, and likewife of the obstinate refifiance, which it too frequently exhibits to every medicinal experiment, which the perplexed physician can devise for its evacuation. This species fometimes grows to an almost incredible longitude: Specimens of 30, 40, 50, Ico, and even upwards of 200 feet have been met with, or, at least, have been recorded in the memorials of medical authors. This reptile appears to be composed of a great number of small parts grooved intaeach, and cloathed with a fmooth thin skin, of a whitish colour. The body is deprefied, and decreases gradually towards both of the extremities, with a head finall, The coarse powder of tin-filings, adminiftered in treacle, to the amount of half an ounce, or double that quantity, has proved fuccefsful in several instances, when it has been perfevered in for a few days, and followed by a vigorous cathartic. The utility of this medicine evidently depends upon its mechanical operation, and not in the flighteft felt degree deg upon any peculiar power it poffefies in poitoning the worms, or in deftroying their noxious property. The root of the male fern has been of late much extolled. It was firit tried, about fixty or feventy years ago, by Madame Noufer; fince that time it has been frequently administered, and, in various instances, with the most flattering and latisfactory fuccess. A drachm or two of the powder, recently dried, ought to be given to the patient, and afterwards be fucceeded, in a few hours, by a strong dofe of calomel, which, if the worms are not in the mean time evacuated, should be repeated on every following day, until that falutary effect is produced. This advice ought invariably to be attended to, as it is often found that fragments only of the Tænia are expelled, whillt many of their bid irritation in the intestinal canal. infant progeny ftill perfift to create a mordren, to fits of epilepty. This has been Worms often give rise, especially in childemonftrated by the practice of the Reporter, who in consequence of adminiftering merely vermifuge remedies in efficient doles. 1 doses, has frequently put a speedy termination to the disease. Of this frightful diforder he has, at the prefent moment, no less than fixteen cases under his profeffional superintendance. The patients are all young, from ten to seventeen years of age. The greater part of them are females; but one remarkable instance has occurred in which the complaint has been for several generations exclufively hereditary in the male branches of the family. In young women, hytteria, when its attacks have been violent, and frequently repeated, is apt to degenerate into epilepty.. The line of distinction, indeed, between these dileases is too faintly marked, to be, in every instance, positively ascertained by the moft clear-fighted and difcriminating phyfician. One very curious cafe has occurred this month of a girl, seventeen years old, who, for a confiderable time, has been liable to long-continued paroxysins of abfolute infenfibility. In any one of her intervals of irritable and vivacious exiftence, she has not been able to give an account of, or to retain the most obscure temembrance of her previous state of torpidity. The fingular complaint of this patient was preceded by the ordinary symptoms of hysteria. To the medical observer, it cannot be difficult, from exifting circumstances and phenomena, to perceive the precise nature, and to detect the immediate and fole cause of her dreadful, although, in all probability, not ultimately fatal, malady. The exciting and corroborating remedies, which have been vigoroufly and pertinacioufly administered, have, at length, produced a temporary fufpenfion of the disease, and the semblance, at least, of an abfolute and radical recovery. The writer, on many of his epileptic patients, bas tried the operation of the electric fluid: but, although it, in general, has the effect of awakening fenfation for a moment, it is not likely that the abrupt operation of so powerful an agent, should produce any important or permanent impreffion upon a chronic, and what epilepfy invariably is, an hereditary diforder. Electricity is of well tried and fpecific utility in amenorrhea, and perhaps in fome other difeates where the cure can, in many instances, be eff.cted only by a violent agitation or movement of the corporeal system. But, with regard to those morbid affections, or, more accurately speaking, those pre-difpofitions to morbid affection, which are either before our birth unplanted, or by the influence of exterior fituation, or inveterate habits, have been gradually established in our frame, little elfe is to be prescribed, to the patien, in addition to a vigilant and une-afing care to avoid any circumftance, which may awaken the fleeping propenfity to disease, than to adopt habitually that regimen and method of life, and occasionally the ofe of those pharmaceutical remedies, which are calculated to preferve or restore the health, and by a flow and almost imperceptible influence, to give additional vigour to the ftamina of the constitution.

On Wednesday, August 6, a Common-hall was held at Guild-hall, for the election of Lord Mayor for the enfuing year. Between two and three o'clock, the Lord Mayor, ReCoder, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, came upon the Huftings, when the Hall was proclained. The Recorder, according to usual practice, inforned the Livery of the purpose for which theyrad been convened. The lift of the feveral Aldemen eligible to that office was then read. The Sheriff's then declared, that the choice of the Livery had fallen upon Charles Price, efq. and Join Perrin, efq. The Lord Mayor, Aidermen, &c. then returned to the Councilroom, ir order to elect one of the two perfons propfed by the Livery. Havinς του turned, the Recorder announced to the Livery, that the Lord Mayor and Aldermen had proceeded to a fcrutiny, and that they had declared C. Price, efq. Lord Mayor of the City of London for the enfaing year. The ensign of office, the gold chain, was then put round Mr. Alderman Price's neck, and the worthy Alderman returned thanks to the Livery, in a concife, but pertinent, speech. Intended Improvements in the Mitropolis.-A plan has been lately projected, which will, no doubt, be carried into effect, as foon as poñible, for forming a beautiful amphitheatie in the quarter called Moorfields, which will be confiderably enlarged by the removal of of Bethlem Hofpital. The amphitheatre will be of an oval shape, and furrounded by about fixty capital houses, with gardens, coach-houses, &c. annexed. The greatest diameter will be five hundred feet, and the least four hundred. In the centre there will be a garden, like that of Finsbury-square, inclosed by an iron-railing. A grand street will be likewife made, leading from the Royal Exchange to this place, and, for this purpose, the church which stands near Bartholomewlane will be taken down, together with some of the adjacent houtes. The broker's houses in Moo fields will be fuffered to remain, but other houses will be built facing them, so as to form new streets, and these new houses are not to have any back lights. On the fouth-fide of the Strand, beyond Temple-bar, all the old houses are to be pulled down, as far as the Crown and Anchor tavern, and a crefcent is. to be erected round St. Clement's Church. On the northfide of the church, a corresponding crefcent will be built, which will begin at a small distance from Temple-bar, and reach as far as oppofite to Arundel-ftreet. The church will be railed round. Amidst the numerous and confiderable improvements at prefent carrying on in this country, there is none, perhaps, that deferves more particulariy the attention of the public than that of iron rail-ways. They present a means of improvement easy, cheap, certain, and which brings with it no one inconvenience whatever. It is the only project that, in its refult, has gone beyond the original expectation that was entertained of its utility. The Surry Iron-rail-way is now at work, from Wandsworth to Garrat. A week or two ago, one small horfe was seen to draw three waggons, containing thirty-three quarters of linfeed, up the above road, and this before the iron has acquired the polish which it will receive from time.

On Monday, October 18, at his house in the Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, of a fever, in his 38th year, Mr. Samuel Bune, whose talents alone procured him the friendship of both the wife and great, as far as the small circle which his premature decease permitted to extend. He was originally designed for one of the inferior, but useful, employments in fociety: he, however, early discovered fuch a diftafte to it, that nothing could fri mulate him to any progress, and, at the end of two or three years, he determined to apply himfelf to the arts, and, while in his apprenticeship, he obtained admittance as a student at the Royal Academy; and his friends, finding he could not be prevailed on to continue in his occupation, they consented to his pursuing the bent of his inclination, when, after trying two or three situations, he obtained adminion into the office of Mr. Wyatt, the architect, with whom he served five years, and foon after went to Rome to study as an architect. On his return, after an abfence of near two years, his merits foon engaged the notice of those able to diftinguish and to encourage talents, and, among others, General Bentham was particularly taken with the urbanity of his manners, and his intelligent conversation; and, finding in him a perfon of an active, energetic, and inventive mind, proposed to him the appointment of surveyor to the newly-established board of improves ments, at the head of which the General is; and, during the short time Providence has permitted him to fill that station, he has left such memorials of his abilities as will be a lafting monument, and leave great room to regret he was fuffered no longer time to benefit his country by his genius. He was interred at Carshalton, in Surrey, agreeable to a wish he had often expreiled when in health; and has left a wife and infant fon. At her house, at Brompton, aged about 60, Mrs. Hannah Milnes, a maiden lady, formerly of Wakefield; much diftinguished in the early part of her life by her períonal attractions and accomplishments.

Heathcote, in confequence of being thrown from his curricle, on Dartford-hill, the preceding Sunday evening. Mr. Heathcote's fortune, which is upwards of 100,000l. goes to his two brothers, his mother, and a fister. The circumstances of this shocking accident are as follow:---Mr. Heathcote was returning to London, in his curricle, when, on entering the George Yard, at Dartford, one of the wheels went against the gate-post, at the entrance, and the shock threw Mr. Heathcote out, over the back-part of the vehicle: he fell upon his head on the gravel. The concuffion was so violent a one as to fracture bis skull in a moft dreadful manner. The fervant, with the affiftance of the hoftler, lifted up his unfortunate master. When he recovered the shock, which was not till fome time had elapfed, mental derangement followed, and, in that state, what with the excruciating pain he suffered, and the disorganised state of his faculties, he endeavoured to destroy every thing around him. With difficulty he was fecured; but his ftrength was to great, that it requited fix men to hold him. He was put to bed, and expreffes were immediately forwarded to Sir Walter Farquhar and Lady Heathcote Her Ladyship received the me.. lancholy news at the time the was preparing to dress for the ball at Margate Sir Walter Farquhar attended, and the situation of the unfortunate gentleman was found almost too dreadful to defcribe. The gravel on which he fell was fo completely buried in the skull, that, though a great quantity had been extracted, it was found imposible to remove the whole. In this affictive fituation, all hopes of his recovery were given up, and a speedy |
