3 AN El-V'GLlSH PALACE.

The following description of the mansion
of an English Nobleniaii, is taken front one
ofthe letters of Mr. CA~R'.l.'ER.

EATON HAL"-I, is a splendid pile of build-
ings, in the purest lsiotliic style. It is said
there is nothing of the kind in the kitigtlotn
vvliicli surpasses it. The length of the man-
sion is 450 feet, besides the other buildings
furnished in the same style, I-llaltlllg .1 total oi
700 feet. lets centre is three stories high, and
the wirigsttwo, willi Gothic turrets pleepiiig a-
bove the grovesof oak, aiitl producing a bite
effect. The structure is of Sliropsliire stone,
ofa color rrpproacliing to white, soriiewliat re-
detnhliiig that of the Excliange at Liverpool.

t was begun in 1808, and has Iiut_tust been
completed. I was inloriired that the expense
ofthe Hall, exclusive of tire furniture, was
between four and
pounds, or about two r-iiillioiis of dollars.
Nearly as much more has been expended in
furnisliiiig this gorgeous palace ; and yet his
}‘ordsliip’s income, after this deduction, is said
tobernot less than ‘$600,000! Such is the
iiicqtialiiy of wealth in this country, between
fen thorisarid of bcggarswlio ask an oboltis.

_and the noblcmaii,wallowing inlnxiiry. Hap-

py, thrice happy ‘is our Republic, which yet
knows not, aiid- -God grant they never know,
any; oftliese extremes !‘ ' ' '

‘ At about four o’clock, we reached’ the front
door, and mounted the wliiie marble steps,
entering at the satire rnornent wi_th a party oi
"ladies liom Boston, on at similar errand. Otir
names. were recorded in an album, in which
the United States furnislied quite a list for
one day. On each side ofthe door, in the
principal Hall is a -figure in ancierit (trail, fr.
head to foot, armed anti masked. Other stat-
uesofjhe same description,adnri'i the entrance.
But I will not attempt to describe tlteiiiteiior,
as iriy visit was litiiited to an hour, and apart.
merit after apartment bui'st,tipoti the eye in
such rapid snccessioii, and wiili such dazzling
splendor, as to render‘ the whole like a scene
of enchantrnent. A feiv pai'ticulai's'orily will
be rneiitioiied. - - -

The floors and tables- are of English oak,
highly polislied, and cistreiiiely beautiftil.—-
Many of the doors are of mahogritiy, certain
ly less beautiful,aiid less in keeping with the
style ofarchiteriture, than the other material.
There is liowevt-r,iiincli taste, as well as great
splendor, eirhi-bitetl in fitiisliing and furnish-
ing the i'ooriis.~aiitl ifliis lordship has superin-
tended tliewliole, his tltitiesthave been both
coiriplex and arduous. li would require muclt
ingenuity and agrcat stretch of the iiiiagiria-
tioti, to form a conception of half the luxury
-here displayed. .

THE CHEROKEE NATION. .

Extract of a letter front David -Brown, to
the Editor ofthe Fariiily Visitor, Iidclllllolltl,
Va.; dated Willstoivn,_ Chcioltee _Nution,,
September 2, 18225. ‘ ' ‘ ' I ._

“Tile Clieroltee nation, yoti know, is in
about 3.’; degrees north latitude ; botiiid-ed on
'the iiorih and west by the state of'Teniiessee,
0" ll’? 5001'’ bl’ Alabama, aiitl on the east by
Georgia iHI(lN0t’lli Carolina.’ The ,pl'0(:l.S€
qiiatitity of laiidover which the Cherokees’
claiiii sovereignty, is tint yet ascertained, anti
coiiseqtientlyi cannot say: btittliis lean rea-
dily say, they have 9to_m'ore to spare. This
country is well ivatc-red; ahundoiit springs of
ptire water are found in every part. A range
of majestic and lofty iiiouiitains stretch tlierri:
sclves across the nation. The nortlierti part
ofthe tiation is hilly and ruouiitaiuons. "In
the southern and western parts there are ex-
tensive fertile plains, covered partly with trill

tlispersed over them. Horses are plenty, and
are used for scrvile purposes. 'Nt_iiiiei'ous

the winters are mild. The spring clothes the
ground with its richest scenery. -Clreroket
flowers of exquisite beauty and variegated
hues meet anti fascinate the eye in every dr

generally rich; producirig Indian corn,cot-
N1!i’l0b3Cc0,_ wheat, oats, iridigo,‘sweet and
lrislipotatoes. The natives carry on consid-
erable trade-with the utijoiiiiiig States; and
sortie ofitliem export cotton in boats dowti tlit-_
Teniiessee to the Mississippi, and down that
river to New Orleans. Apple and peach or-
chards are quite coitrriioii ; and gardeiis cul-
tivated and riiucli attention paid to tlieiii.——
<Bnt'.er and cheese are seen oti Cherokee ta-
bles. There are riraiiy public roads in the tra-
tion, and houses ofentertaiiitrient kept by na-
tives. Ntinierous and flotrislriiig villages are
seen in every section ofthe coutitry. Cotton
and woollen cloths are iiiariufactured here.--
Blarikets of various diirietisioiis, niautrfactured
by Cherokee hands, are very coiiirrioii. Al-
most every faiiiily iii the nation grows cotton
for its own consumption. Ititlustry and corri-
niercial enterprise are extending tiietiiselves
in every part. Nearly all the rnercharits in
the nation are native Cherokees. Agiicul

genius, and syinplioiiy, is itiferior to few, if
any in the world. Otir relations with all ita-
tions, savage or civiliied, are of the most
frieiidly character. We are out of debt, and
our reveniie is in a flourishing condition. Be-

riods. Otir system of goveriitneiit, founded

equally distributed, secure the respect ofthe
people.-——Newtowii, pleasantly situated in the
centre of the, nation and at the junction of

is the seat of governineut. The legislative
power is vested in, what is denomiiiated in
the native "dialect, Tsalagi Tinilawtrgri, cori-
sistiiig ofa national corriiriittee and cotincil.
Nletnbers ofboth branches are chosen by and
frorri the people for'a limited period. In New."

ed ; also a National Library, and a Museiini.
lriitnense concourse of peop’lc freqtierit the
seat of governnient when Tsalagi Tinilawigi

FLANNEL.--Froiii a review ‘ofthe dif-“
ferent stibstances worn next the skin, itwotiltl
ttppeflrlhflt wool has gteat'ly_tlie advantage
over the others. Flannel, by its gentle stim-
ulus on the skin," has- thebetieficial effect of
keeping the pores in_a state the most favoura-
-ble to peispiratioii. In flannel, the discharge
by persphatioii proceeds iiuifortiily ; but not‘
so in linen, when soiled with the moisture of
the skin. The differeiit effects of flilllflel are
particularly perceptible during brisk“ exercise.
When the bt dy is covered with the former,
tlioiigli perspiratiiiii be necessarily‘ increased,
ilie perspired in-.itter passes of?’ tliro’ flannel

-Ittl-ll!lS dry_ and warm. lfthe saute exercise
‘be taken in linen shirts, pt~‘i'spir,atiun, as in the
former case, is indeed also increased, but the
perspired matter, instead of being‘ dispersed
into the atriiospliare, remains upon the liiieu,
and not only clogs the pores, but gives a ‘disa-
,greeable sensatioii. . - _
' Flaniiel has anollier advantage which iner-
its attention. As it does not retain the hu-
ll)0lll‘S‘(llSt.:llal'g8(l from the skin, people who
perspire profusely in flannel shirts will not ea‘-
sily catch cold on going into the open air.-—’-
Buttlie satire is not the case in respect orlinen
shirts,_tvliicli, by retaining the perspired mat-'
ter, will occasion a sensation of cliilliiess, of-
ten followed by a violent cold, and somctiines’
evr-ii fatal effects. . V I g
The piejtidices of people have been much
excited, both in favour of flannel and against
it. It has been objected, that flannel worn
next the skin_ occasions weakiiess, by too
niticli increasing perspiration: but this objec-

or hurtful,__as long as the skin reriiaiiis dry.

' Flannel, tvlienfirst used, is often apt to
cause an uneasy seiisation, but this soon goes
off. In those who wear flannel, the skin, on
beingriiutzli rubbed, will become red and iii-
llaiued; btit we ought not on that account, to
infer that flannel. produces ctitaneous erup-
tion ; on the contrary, by preserving the pores
open, and increasing perspiration, it tends’
greatly to retriove the cause of cutaneous e‘ A
ruptioris, wliich arise chiefly frotii an irregtilar
state oftliat diseliarge through the pores of
the skin. I 4

The prejudice against the use of flannel
next the skin seems to be owing, in a great.
riieasure, to the et’f't-.cts which ensue, frorii not
rcliatigitig it stifficietitly often ; btit this objec-
tion is to be irriptited to the wearer, not to the
flannel itself. " ‘ '

It must be acknowledged, that the advant-
ages al)iiVe_m8tll.l()l)ed strongly recotnnieiid the
use offianriel as a preservative Ofhealih, par
ticularly to those who are exposed to all kinds
of weather. It has the additional advantage
of being suitable to all seasons, and of com
perisatinga deficiericy of upper dress. Ex-
traordinary betteficial effects have been expe-
rienced from'fiannel.iir a variety ofcases. In.
gouty, and particularly, rheumatic habits, it
has operated with sitiiilar advantage. in ob-
siinate coughs, where symptoms of constitiip-
tion were apparent, it has proved highly ser-
viceable; and upon. the whole’, it merits a
tiiore general and extensive applicatioii than
-it has ever yet obtained.
