This most valuable root, requires a very deep, rid:, dry, 8Ound, friable, sandy loam, ploughed as (i-orply as possible, and the seed raav be sown any time in February, but not later than the iirst weel; in March five pounds of seed per acre wiH be uffiaieut. if properly harrowed in. As an .in- ducement to its cultivation,, we shall lay before our agricul- tural readers a short detail of aevartage- (front Young's Farmer's Calendar) given by a. considerable farmer in Sur- rey, which was-communicated to the Society of Arts. I will now proceed (says he) to relate the use I made of this root. In the first place, I-put up 16 hogs a fatten- ing upon' them. The, method I took in giving them to the bogs, was throwing the parsnips on the whole. This I continued for about a month, when-finding my hogs grow luvivy, i observed they did not -go oil so well with them as at first. Upon this I boiled the parsnips, and maciQ wash it j them thickening the wash with hall a bushel of barley- meal every day. I gavfS.it thcluin a trough, and conti- nued this method for twa months, when I kuled-them, and fannd thew t« be.very good meat; weighing from 28 to go( Stone per hog. One of them, being, very, large, weighed 58 stone. The neat value of my hogs, when killed, amount- ed to 521. 17s. 4d. The whole cpence of my barley- mea! with which I thickened the wash, amounted to 31. ,J 8,. 9d.; of a boy to .look alter thera for threeluonths, at fid, per day, 21. 53, which sums, added to the exj-ieiiues at- -iending the parsnips, prime cost of the hogs, &c. amounts in iiie whole to 351. so that my proiit upon this artictc only 16s. ad. which ret-n-aiiis to be carried to the account x> £ the parsoipss. After my to were killed I kept four dairy cows upon the remainder-of the parsnips for three iKveths, which, at Is. 6d. per week, amounted to 31. 12s.; and this sum, added to the 171.16s. 8d. before mentioned, Baakes the ueat profit on one acre of parsnips, to be 211. 8s. id. "I must observe, that"giving my dairy cows the par- snips, answered my purpose greatly,, hy increasing their xilik-, aad soaking the butter tnuelf richer and finer than tnfuips Of carrots, whicli I had given them long before. The manner in which I gave the parsnips was, cutting then: in t>ÎeCts. Finding the parsnips agree with my hogs and cows so wftli last year, I ftow determined to give them to my Worses and having five that were making up ior sale, 1 be- gun with them by giving them a very the first week. I observed then that they agreed with them extremely, well, and I therefore gave them a larger quantity, which m-ide their, thrive very fast, and determined me to conti- nue giving theta the .parsnips, wltich saved me a great deal -«fi>ay, as 1 found they had occasion for very little of if. I kept theia io this mauaer for ten weeks, when I sent their to Mr. JJever's H'.po;;¡tory, where they were soil for 40 gMiaeas Cach hors-c., The manner in w hich I gave thera the parsnips was, cutting them in small pieces and throw- ing them into the mauger.. I calculate the ex pence haH-a- guinea per week for the parsnips for each horse, which amounts to 261. As. to be carried to the account of the pars- tips tor this year. At the same time I began fattening an ox, which cost jae 4L 10s. from the ploughs He was 13 weeksm fatten- ing, aad ate nothing but parsnips the whole tune. I theu sold hun to Job Spratley, a butcher, at Guildford, for 2s. 8d- pft. stone, weighing 10"? stone 6ib. which amounted to 13L 14s. 4d. Exclusive of the above, he had within him '82 stone 61b. of loose '.fat, which was more than ever was to be taken out cf a buiiock of that weight in the townoi Gnildford, and it ws remarked by nianv, that fnei" heel never was oaten. I mention these particulars, in order to shew the great use of parsnips, as I am convinced by expecieuce, they are preferable to carrots or turnips. Bat to proceed «n in my account: the profit upon this bul- lock assounted to-91.' 14s. 4d. which I also carry to the ac- of the parsnips. fhe M$nainder of ray parsnips I gave to seven dairy eews eleven weeks, at Is. 6d. per week each, which amounts to 5!. 15s. 6d. so that the neat profit (after de- ductiiig 61. 12s. per acre for the necessary expences at- sending the p* s, as per the, calculation for last year) to 281. 10di besides a great many of the parsnips that I gave occasionally to my store-hogs and cattle, which CATERPILLAHS.

1, ADVICE. When vou look forward to those plans of life, which Lhe( your circumstances have suggested, oi' your friends btvc jiroposjxl, you wilt not hesitate to acknowledge, that in atiier to pursue tliem with advantage, some previous .discipiiac is requisite. Be assured, that whatever is to t>e jour profession, HP education is tiiore necessary to your snojess, than the acquLrement of virtuous dispositions and habits^—Tiiii. is the, universal preparation for every charac- iter, and every station in !ife. Bad as the world is, respect is always paid io virtue. In the usual course of human etikirr; it pill be found, that a plain understanding, joined with acknfHvledgecl worth, coutribuU;s lÚüre to prosperity i, ban the highest parts without probity or honour. VVUe-1 f I HI! tker settee, or business, pfptiblic life he yotlr slat, viitae still enters for a principal share into ail those great depart- ments of society. It is connected with eminence in every liberal art: wih reputation iu every branch of fair and useful business • with distinction in every public station. i The vigour which-it gives the xuind, and the weight which it add;, to character; the generous sentiments which it breathes, the undaunted spirit which it inspires, the ardour of diligence which it quickens, the freedom which it pro- cures from pernicious- and dishonourable avocations, are the foundations ot alt that is high in fame, or great in suc- cess among mem Whatever oruamentai or engaging en- dowments you now possess, virtue is a necessary requisite, in order to their shining with proper lustre. Feeble are the attractions of the fairest form, if it be suspected that nothing within corresponds to tht1 pleasing appearance .without. Short are triumphs of wit, when it is supposed to be the vehicle;of malice. By whatever arts you may at first attract the attention, you can hold the esteem and secure the hearts of others, only by amiable dispositions and ..the accomplishments; of the mind. These are the qualities whose influence will last when the lustre of all that once sparkled an dazzled has passed away.
•*'t!X!>,,-THE LATE 'OVERTURE…
•* t!X!> THE LATE 'OVERTURE OF PEACE. M. Talleyrand, Minister for Foreign Relation's, was intro- duced to the Conservative Senate, on the 4th inst. and presented, by order of the Emperor, the following report:— The natural solemnity of the coronation, this noble and necessary consummation of our social institutions, was connected with sensations too profound and too genera! not to have occupied the undivided attention of all classes in the State after the accompJishHlcutuf this great inter- nal event, which has just secured for ever the destinies of France, in consecrating by the suifrages of men, and by the voice of all that we have acquired in glory, in graadeur, and independence, it was generally aiid as it were by one common impression felt, that the interest of ail other events was weakened and diminished and even the thought of the War, in the bosom of a nation owing so much to its victories seems to disappear. Everything is accomplished • the Empire is founded, and in Resuming his attention to exterior concerns) and in recalling rhe spirit of the nation to the interests of the 'war, the first sentiment of the Emperor has been to raise himself above every passion, and to justify the exalted destmy which Providence re- serves for him, by shewing himself inaccessible to hatted, ambition or revenge. If there exist the men, who have conceived the project of combating us with the arms of crimes, who have to the utmost of their power realized this cruel thought, who have hired assassins, and who, even at this moment, pension our enemies; it is over these iden- tical passions that. the Emperor wished to triumph. The jtj,)t-e -itattirtil and common it was to feel a lively resent- ment against personal attacks, the more was he sensible that it was the part of a great mind to be proof against it, This determination is noble; but it differs widely from or- dinary rules aud on so rare an occasion, I ought to for- get ior a moment the principles of propriety, which would prevent me, in other instances, from otfenduig by my praises the Sovereign, whose A3 mister I have the honour to bt- In the present instance, I cannot explain those mea- sures, the generosity of which sup}-os s at, inscnsiblhiy to the common laws of prudence, without justifying them and without intending it, my justification is our euiogitan. The Emperor has iuadc- the first overtures to a Govern- ment, which has been guilty of aggression, which has ma- nifested without motive and without (tisgui,e, sentiments oi inveterate hatred tow a ids bun and lo.vards llS. In lo coiuprehcfud adequately such an instance of we must resort to the rcmembian.ce of til- past, and follow the progress of an august Sovereign, thr;.ago the whole ex- tent of his noble career. Have not-such men,' as have studied his character, 'Lscovered mth ban ü; the vigoious and constant execution of all his >k,: e stock of cahlmess and of prudence WhiCh, Uietu, a heck that prevents every P, i) Ill it worn, a Ull/st 0; i as- lice and humanity, incessantly Lending L; moderate toe ef- fects, and to acceieratprtbe term 01 nectsvaiy act.- or vio- lence ? Thus, aft."r a succession of advantages gained on the banks of the Jjrave, far sroni suifeiing himself to be led on by the hopes, with which the most; bountiiul fortune seemed disposed to intoxicate him, h", caiculated, that it was more advantageous for France and for her "enemies, 'that he should act temperately. IÔ the great attractions of Ldury, he opposed the grand interest of humanity. He was sensible to the cries of those victims, who were to be, with- out deJay. sacrificed .in the las, actions 01 an implacable war, and he made propositions of peace. From that tIme, with that view into futurity which outstrips events, and Uiscriuimgtes them even in tite causes that are to produce ihem, he had foreseen all the blood that was to flow on the fields of Marengo and Hohenlinden; and insensible to these presages, which held out to France, and to its brave army, fresh laurels and new conquests, he listened onty to wisdom and humanity, which give a sanction to. glory, but dictate sacrifices.. fhe same principle inspired him with the same magna- nimity when called upon to take the reins of Government, he united the title of First Consul to his reputation as a General, aud the authority of the Chief Magistracy to the unlimited ascendency of the glory which he had acquired. On ail sides he addressed the language of peace, and he succeeded in making himself understood. After peace had been restored to the continent; there yet remained an enemy to France, On the 30th of January, year 8, he made a proposal of peace to the King of EugJaud., The I geperug conqueror of the year,5, the First Consui, paciti- -ator of the year 8, cotild not beideficient in the same mag. nanimous moderation, in the person of the august sovereign, to whom heaven has contidet1 our destinies. The degrees of power, the diversity of situations, produce no change in those eminent qualities, which may justly be styled the vir- tues of character: and the Emperor, was bound, for the first time, to propose peace, in order to prove, that it was not idly he had uttered, on a solemn occasion, these uever io be forgotten worcls* Soldiers, as First Consul, I had but one sentiment; as Emperor, I can entertain no other." It is two years since war has been "declared, and it has not !,ee.u, practicable to toinnience it; AM its operations have been preparatory in projects; but the moment having ar- rived when the pfoaeentioir of it mustproducc real events, and give birth to tbe most terrible chances, the Emperor thought that it was essential to the principles of that politi- cal religion, which,-without doubly draws down upon the thoughts and efforts of just and generons Princes, the as- sistance of heaven, to do every thing in his power to pre- vent great calamities, by makiiig peace. I am directed to comniunitMtp to you the letter which, with this view of moderation aiid.hiiruanity, his Majesty the Emperor has thought proper to write to his Majesty the King erf Great Britain. [Here he read Bonaparte's Letter to the King.] JL estimating the advantages of our position, and in re- flecting on that unaninious;Hisplay of affection and respect, which during the J ate circumstances exhibited- to ns the whole of Prance absolutely disposed to devote itself to maintain the honour of the French name, the glory of the throne, aud the power of the Empire, I shall not conceal that, being the only person admitted, as Minister, to the participation of that determination, I ought, in order to ap- preciate it fully, to regard it less with a view to itself, to its heroic principle—to contemplate it rather as a result of cha- racter than as the application of a maxim of State. If any I other Prince had communicated to me such a disposition, I should have felt, that the power of my office and my per-, sonal devotion would impose on me the dutyof opposing it by my advice. And, in fact, what is our situation, and on which side are the advantages of the war? we have not lost any thing-Within and without every thing has been improved amongst us. Our flotillas, the creation of which seemed a chimerical project, the union of which seemed im- possible, have JbeeJttireated and collected together as if by enchautmeiU. Our ioldiers are become seamc>n we might say, that the ports and the coasts have been trans- iotmed into cities, where the landsmen and seamen apply themselves in full security, and as, during peace, to the ter- rible and dangerous* exfcreSses of w.,ir. No doubt we have fewer vessels than England, but their number is sufficient to enable them, after a conjunction wisely prepared, to strike a mortal blow against the enemy. Spain, involved in the contest by provocations without pretext or excuse, has given us for auxiliaries, the disap- probation of Europe for an unjust aggression, the indigna- tion of a generous people, and the forces of a great king- doiii. Invulnerable on our territory, we have proved that vigilance and an energy which never relaxes, are sufficient for our security. Our colonies are beyond the reach of attack (iuadi-Itoupe, Martinique, the/Isle of France, would defy all expedition of 20,000 men. Our cities, our plains, our manufactures, prosper the regular and ready receipts of the imposts attests the inexhaustible fecundity of agri- culture and industry commerce, accustomed during the last ten years to be conducted through its expensive rela- tions with England, proceeds now in another channel, and substitutes for these relations communications more profita- ble, more independent, and more secure. There are no new imposts, no loans a debt which cannot increase, but must diminish in a word, a union of means sufficient to support during teu years the existing state of war is the position of France. This war has indeed been scarcely offensive; but it is far from being inactive. France has been guaranteed. She has created strength hitherto unknown. She has produced in the bosom of an enemy's country a perpetual source of disquietude, with- out remedy and by a prudence and an unbending ener- gy, she has acquired for ever the confidence of the conti- nent, at first somewhat shaken by the commencement of an incendiary war, which might set Europe in a llame, and wbote progress has been arrested by the unceasing efforts of vigilance, moderation, firmness, and wisdom. What is the situation of the enemy ? The people are up in arms and whilst necessity, seconded by genius, has led us to invent a new species of marine, necessity and terror have compelled the Cabinet of England to substitute the pike for the ordinary implements of war. This Cabi- net is divided betwixt projects of invasion and projects of defence. It is lavish in useless entrenchments it covers its coasts with fortifications; it erects and destroys its bat- teries without end it makes experiments whether it could not stop or turn the course of rivers. It pianss inundations oil its own fertile plains; the indolence of cities reigns in its fields; the turbulence of the country pants in its cities. Ireland, the Indies, the shores, even England, are an everlasting and unbounded object of uneasiness. All that belongs to England is endlessly menaced by 1500 vessels which compose our flotilla, at present by sixty ships of the line, and by a vidiant army, commanded by the first Ge- nerals in the world. Of all kinds of menaces, would not that of simple patience be the most terrible, which would enable us to persevere for ten years in this state of delay and of effort, which leaves to our active hostilities the knowledge and the choice of the place, the time and the mcam of annoyance ? These considerations, and this contrast, should, in my opinion, have inspired the English Government with the wise resolution of taking the first steps to prevent hostili- ties. It has not done so. It has left to the Emperor all the advantage of originating this honourable overture. It has given an answer, nevertheless, to the propositions that had been made to it and if this answer be compared with the shamefully celebrated declamations of Lord Grenville in the ytar 8, I am ready to acknowledge, that it is by no means void of moderation and wisdom. I shall have the honour to read it to you. [Hen; he read Lord Mulgrave's answer, and proceeded.] The character that pervades this answer is vague and indeterminate. One single idea presents itself with some precision, that of having recourse to foreign powers; aud tins idea is by no means pacific a superfluous interference ought not to be appealed to, if there be not a desire to em- barrass t.'ie discussions, and to -make thein endless. The ordinary consequence of all complicated negeciations is to exasperate the mimi, to weary out good intentions, and to t,ii-u. back nations into a war, become more furious from the vexation of an unsuccessful attempt at an accommoda- tion. Nevertheless, on a question regarding a multitude of interests and of passions; which have never been in uni-- son, we should not rest upon a single synjptom. Tnne will soon develope to us the secret resolutions of the Go- vernment of England. Should these resolutions be just and moderate,we sitall see the calamities of war at an end should, on the contrary, this first appearanpe of accommo- dation prove but a false light, intended only to answer speculations of credit, to facilitate a loan, the acquisition t>i -ji^ pU.t.ÇhLl- oi 11\v i-j»ribci, men. we shuif know how far the dispositions of the enemy are implacable and obstinate, and shall have only to banish all hope from a dangerous lure and trust, without reserve, to the goodness of our cause, to the justice of-Providence, and to the ge- nius of the Emperor, Whilst expecting new lights to illustrate the obscurity of the actual state of affairs, his Majesty the Emperor has conceived, that the .impertect disclosure which Ins Majesty the King of England has thought proper to make of the first overtures of France, called for a full explanation on his part of aIr that he wished, of what he did, and of the answer of the English Government. At the same time he dias commissioned me to make known to you, that he will ever feel a retd Satisfaction, dear to his heart, in making known to the Senate, and to his people, by 'frank, full, and unambiguous communications, every thing that shall be connected with the interests of its prosperity aud its glory, on every occasion, when such communication shall be con- sistent with the principles of policy, and the rtile's of dis- cretion." M. Segur,Tn the Legislative Body, says, Lord Mul- grave ,ift:-ply is hot offensive, and permits a hope of more useful communications. M. St. Jean D'Angely, in the Tribunate, acknowledges, that if in-the communication which Engird seems to announce, she speak a language ;more worthy of the overture she has received, peace may again take place. Yet pacific expressions are immediately followed by warlike mciiaces-tributvs to the power ot Great Britain usher in representations of our incapacity to resist the force of France, and confessions of the superi- ority of our commerce and our navy, are the preludes to the stoutest assertions of the fears we entertain of attack and invasion. M. St. Jean D'Angely declares, that of the four chances to he surmounted before France can invade ns, three have already been decided in her favour, viz. the building of the boats, and of the ports to hold them the Collecting them together; and the fourth remaining chance is, only the effecting a passage tver. Of a continen- tal coalition against France, the orators will not admit the slightest probability. Germany, Austria, and Prussia are represented by the last-named speaker as having lately given the most amicable assurances to France our nego- tiation with Sweden is said to have been broken off by a menace on the part of Prussia to march an army into Po- merania; and the coldness between Russia and France has not assumed the form and of enmity. M. Segur, on this head, asserts, that at Petersburg and Vienna, as well as at Berlin, the attack of the Spanish frigates in the midst of peace, of three hundred victims, immolated by the cannon of England, or buried in the waves the capture in the midst of peace of the Spanish regiments the de- tention in the Mediterranean of 80 vessels of, all nations, and their perpetual violation of theliberty of the seas, are considered as an attack on the rights of nations, and inju. rious to all Sovereigns this correspondence, these confi- dential relations, are therefore only so many chimeras." But it must be remarked, that upon the subject of a con- tinental coalition, M. Talleyrand, who must be the best in- formed, does not speak in such bold and decisive terms; lie seems cautiously to avoid touching upon the subject. M. St. Jean D'Angely is the only one. of the three who maintains that France will only qonsent to the terms of the treaty of Amiens. M. Talleyrand and M. Segur; preserve a studied silence upon the subject: so far from any de- claration or even hint to that effect, they consider our answer as justifying them in entertaining a hope of more useful communications. The French Government, there- fore, by no means consider the pacific overture as having been rejected, and it is evident that they expect another I dispatch from our Government, after we have received the answer to the dispatch we have sent to the Court of Peters- burgh. A recent letter from Gibraltar mentions, that the whole population of the rock consisted of 13,000 sonls, 7,000 oi whom have perished by the fever. The number of persons who embarked on board the Abergavenny East-Indiaman was 402, of whom only 139 reached the shore. The Albion, Capt. Bunker, from the South Seas, is ar- rived at Lymingtou. She sailed from Botany Bay about the latter end of October, at which time that colony was in a very flourishing state. The Assembly of Jamaica have sent over a petition to his Majesty, against the proposed abolition of the slave- trade. The boats of the Illustrious, in endeavouring to cut out a brig, lying at anchor in VarrosBav, lost Lieutenant Thurn- ham of the marines, and one seaman, who were killed by the musketry of the enemy. The accounts presented to Parliament state, that the to. tal number of men raised in the united kingdom under the permanent additional force acts, is 2,748, of whom 2,213 were raised by parish officers, and 530 by regimental offi- cers. Of these 62 hdre been discharged, 2 have died, and 361 have deserted, leaving the uumber of effective men total number of effective men enlisted from the army of reserve into the regular forces, up to the last return, is 17,343.-Since the commencement of the pre- sent war, there have died of his Majesty's troops 2,982 discharged 5,276 deserted 7,3^5. The general total of the effective strength of the royal artillery, on the l;;t of January, 1805, according to the statement presented to the l'ouse of Commons, amounted to 17,374 men, including gunners, drivers, artificers, &c. !Theatrical—Two new pieces were produced for the first time, on Tuesday night: the one, a melo-drama, by Mr. Holcroft, called The Lady of the Ruck, at Drury-lane; aud the other, a musical farce, by Mr. Kenny, entitled Too many Cooks, at Co vent-Garden neither of which, how- ever, possess any extraordinary merit; and both expe- rienced a considerable share of disapprobation. Master Betty's twelve performances at Co vent-Garden Theatre produced, on an average, the amazing sum of 5771. each night, in r-eady money taken at the doors. In the Court of King's Bench, on Tuesday, Mess. Herri-, ott, Taylor, and others, were brought up to receive the judg- ment of the Court, for inserting a libel upon Lord St. Vin- cent, in the True Briton and Sun newspapers.—-Mr. Justice Grose, after observing that thesuperintelldlllg a newspaper was a very useful and honourable employ, provided such newspaper was properly conducted, sentenced Mr. Hei- riott to be imprisoned six months in the King's Bench, ana to find security for his good behaviour for three years himself in 10001. and two sureties in 500L each Mr. Eay- lor to pay a fine of 100 marks; and ttie printers and pub- lishers to be imprisoned one month each. Edward and Henry De.il, convicted of a fraud upon the Stamp-office, were also brought up for judgment. The Court sentenced Edward to be imprisoned six months in Newgate, and to stand in the pillory at Somerset House, and Henry to be imprisoned three months, and then dis charged.,—The fraud of which these persons were found guilty, was cementing thin paper together, and thereby obtaining (after separating the paper) a number of receipts from one impression. A fire broke out a few evenings since in the library oi Sir James Mansfield, "ill Tavistock-square, which unfortu- nately destroyed the greater part of 1500 folio volumes.

There was a large influx of all Grain for the supply of this day's Market, and with it a general depression in the prices. To the Wheat left over from last week, were addedt very considerable fresh arrivals, which, together, produced a reduction oi 4s. per quarter on fine samples, ami rather more on the ordinary. Barley comes abundantly to hand, and, with' Malt, partSkes of the prevailing decline—say from 2s. to 3s. per quarter, since this day .se'nnight. Pease and Beans of every description are equally plentiful, the sales of which are likewise heavy, atareduction of three and four shillings per quarter; Oats also are an amply supply, and will be found quoted 2s. per quarter cheaper than last Mon- day.Flotir is without any regular price-niuiiiinal, gos,. per sack.
