When within about 15 feet from the ves sel, found it to be a Snake called the Skipper up by this time he had come so as to touch the vessel forward and lay himself along side, mov ing slowly,' his head past the stern and his tail under the bowspriu .-.Supposed him to be About twenty feet longer than the vessel, which is eighty tons burthen. A light breeze coming up, left him astern -his head about three or four feet out of the water.

We do not know that, since the Tivaty of I'cace be tween the t'nited States and Great Bri'ain, wc have had as much satinfactioii in announcing any News from abroad, as that contained in the following' article. Ix:t us hope that it is the prelude to a permanent pacification. Enough of blood has flowed; enough of havoc has been made ; the humanities of life have been already too far violated in this conflict.. Humanity demanded a cessa tion of it, and Providence has ordained it. We trust the negotiations, w hich will follow this suspension of hostili ties, will, give liberation and repose to the people of Venezuela and their confederates. Jat. InUl. FROM L.1GUIR A..... IMPORTANT 7 MtW-TOrtR, JA. 5. Capt. Cravcroft, of the schooner Tom, who left Ia guira Dec. 2lst; informs, that on the 16th there was a general rejoicing at that place and Caraccas, on account of an urmiUce Laving been concluded fur six month, be tween Generals Bolivar and Morillo."' Two officers from Bolivar's army passed through 'Caraccas and Laguira on the 18th, on their w ay to .Margarita Island and Barcelona, to give information of the armistice.. Gen. Mojillo liaxl resigned the command of the Spanish army, and w as sue ceeded -by Gen. 1-a Torras. T he fonner had arrived at I'orto Cavello, and w as fitting out the schooner' Morillo to cany hun home to Spain; and a great number of officers had prcceedcd.to that plact tQ take. leave of Jjun. On the 20th December, a Spanish squadron of 3 frigates, 1 brig of 22 gur.-s, 1 ketch of 16 guns, 3 large transports; and 1 schooner, arrived at Laguira from Cadiz, with .15,000 stand of arms, and clothing and provisions for the army. Business was entirely suspended at Laguira. cr times. The icveral eUtdlitcs nre put on moveable sockets to be tct by the hand un derneath these, and covering the wheel-work, is a dial 14 inches in diameter, with two cir cles graduated into months and days, and signs and degrees, to point out the exact situation of the several planets as they pass over it So far the machine represents the revolutions of the primary planets, and constitutes what is called a Planetarium, There is another por tion w);uh can lc put on at pleasure represent ing the various motions of the earth and moon. This portion answers the purposes of the in struments, called the Tellurium and Ijtrtarittin. 'Hie globe representing the earth is about an inch and a half in diameter, and has a general " map orthTworlcfacltne revolves round the common centre, or gilt ball, representing the sun, performs the diurnal ro ution on .its nxis. which at the same time is properly Inclincdr and prcsefvts Us 'parallel ism. "The moon performs her periodical rev olutions, and has its orbit properly incline 4 Jo that of the earth. These several movements are very nearly in their proper times. With this instrument the various phenomena of the heavens, such as day and night, different sea sons, changes of the moon, eclipses, Stc are at once imitated and explained.' They are very beautifully exhibited in a darkened room, a small lamp being substituted for the gilt ball or sun. - Although this machine does not represent the elliptical and unequal movements of the planets, et it answers rvery purpose of com mtfmcating general ideasof Astronomy, which is, in fact, all that can be done by any machine. The purpose of accurate calculation in Astron omy can never be obtained by machinery ; but must be sought in the use of calculated ta bles. " The workmanship of this instrument will bear comparison with any English Orrery of the kind, and reflects great credit on the in genuity and skill of Mr. W. The price be ing only from 40 to 50 or 60 dollars, accord ing to the movements and stile of execution, puts the instrument within the reach of ordi nary schools and academies. We understand that Mr. Willard is about constructing for Dr. Locke a Cometarium, which will show the elliptic, eccentric, and unequal motions of the planets and comets. This, tngcthei with the portable Orrery just described, will constitute a very complete pparatus for illustrating astronomical movc- ments. sss MARRtEDr ll sn: Wn.Ni ta-v 1 tin nivl.r'ii k.li...

An Orrery, calculated by Dr. Locke, has lately been made by Mr. Aaron vviixard, of this town, which w6 take the .liberty of no-ticing-especially. on. account of the impricity of its movements, the neatness of its work manship, and the moderate price at which it may be afforded. This is the third instru ment of the kind made by Mr. Willard,' and has been made more complete by having the diurnal rotation of the earth added to its move ments. The machinery is made of brass and steel wheel w ork. ,This instrument is of the portable kind, the most extreme revolution being in a circle of about two feet diameter.
