MR. WILKINSON'S PATENT BOILER.

ON

(With a Plate.)

N the fecond of July 1799, JOHN WILKINSON, ESQ. of Wilkinson's Wharf, Rotherhithe, obtained a Patent for his newly invented Boilers.

Thefe Boilers, instead of being made either round, or of a fhort oblong fquare, with flues round the outfide, and the fire applied as in the common method, are by me made of great length, without any flues round the outfide, and the fire more uniformly applied, as fhewn by the annexed drawings. Fig. 1, is a horizontal fection, and fig. 2, a vertical fection of a boiler, 60 feet in length, and 6 feet in breadth. The heat from the flues, paffing uniformly along the bottom, rifes up at one end, and returning by flues paffing through the water to the other end, opens into the chimney which carries off the fmoak.-Fig. 3. is a horizontal section of another boiler 60 feet in length and 12 feet in breadth, with two partition walls underneath, dividing its bottom longitudinally into three spaces. The heat from the fires, which are placed in the two outer spaces, paffing along the bottom to one end, returns back through the middle space, under the bottom, to the other end, opening into the chimney as be

fudden fhowers of rain which have fallen, and for which perfons going abroad have not been prepared. Slight diforders of the bowels have ftill prevailed. Diarrheas have been frequent, but of a mild and favourable kind, rather producing a falutary evacuation, than any morbid effect upon the conftitution.

Dyfenteries have alfo occafionally occurred, accompanied with very flight degree of fever, and yielding pretty foon to the ufual methods of cure.

The Measles have prevailed amongst children; but this, like the other difeafes of the prefent feafon, has proved mild: the fever and cough, which are the fymptoms of principal confequence in this disease, have been very flight.

STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, In September 1799.

FRANCE.

THE following are the principal move. ments of the Republican and AuftroRuffian armies fince our laft.

General Joubert, foon after his appointment to the command, determined to make - a vigorous effort to raise the blockade of Tortona, and lead the army into the plain. Accordingly, at the head of a part of the army forming the right wing, he paffed Savona, towards Capriata and Novi; while General St. Cyr, who commanded the right wing, paffed by the Bochetta, in order to join him at that point. The Generals Moreau and Deffoles marched with this column. Previous to the general engagement, the column under the command of General Kray arrived at Aleffandria from Mantua on the 12th of Auguft, and on the day following was to have proceeded to the place of its destination, on the left of the Allied army. The French were in motion on that day in different points, and appeared to meditate an attack: General Kray was therefore ordered to remain at Aleffandria till further orders. General Bellegarde with eight thousand men was at Serzo; and the Field Marshal with fix thoufand Ruffians was at Poffolo Fomigoio, his advanced pofts in front of Seravalle. The remainder of the troops were at Rivalta.

On the 14th of August the French advanced in great numbers. The Marthal had given orders that no partial action hould be engaged in with the French: in confequence of which General Bellegarde, upon the approach of the enemy, marched to Ritorto upon the Orba. The advanced pofts before Seravalle were also driven in; and the French took poffeffion of Novi.

On the 14th General Kray advanced to

Treffonara. It was hoped that General

Kray might have been able to cut off d fmall French column, which had followed General Bellegarde as far as Caftelferto: but it had early in the morning turned to the right, and had marched to Ñovi, where the whole French force was concentrated. The great and extenfive plain of Piedmont is terminated at Novi by a very long ridge of hills, which rife fo fuddenly, that the afcent is extremely difficult, though the height is not very great; they extend towards Bafaluzzo on one fide, and towards Seravalle on the other; and upon thefe heights the French were encamped on the 15th, their right towards Seravalle, their centre at Novi, and their left towards Bâfaluzzo, overlooking the whole plain; their army confifted of about thirty thoufand men; their object was to raise the fiege of Tortona, and to have attacked the Allied army. On the 16th, Marshal Suwarrow, however, was determined to anticipate them, and orders were given to General Kray, to fall upon their left, and the Ruffians were to at. tack the front of their pofition. General Melas remained at Rivalta with the remains of the army to fupport the Marshal if neceffary, or to cover the fiege of Tor

tona.

The

The attack was made by General Kray at five o'clock, the morning of the 16th: it continued with great violence for feveral hours; but the difficulty of the ground, and the numbers of the French, obliged him to retire with lofs. Ruffians alfo engaged the front of the French; but they were repulfed in three feveral attacks with very great lofs. About z o'clock, General Kray made a fecond attempt upon their left, while the Ruffians again endeavoured to pene rate 5 C 2
