V LOSS OF THE SHIP FAME. The followirig is an extract of a letter from . Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles,late Govern oT of Bencoolen, communicating the de. struction of the ship Fame, by fire, in which he had embarked with his family and suite " bn his return to Europe. A more Provi- dential escape is scarcelj' to be found upon record We embarked on the 2d February, in: the Fame, and sailed at day-light fof. England, vyith a fair wind,; and every prospect or a quicK ami, comiui I- ame passage. nip uip.-waa tning we couiu wisn, anti, naving eu my charge here rnucn to my sans-1 faction, it was one of the happiest days ; of my life. We were perhaps too hap- jy ;-for, in the evening, came a sad re- verse. , Sophia had just gone to bed, arid I had throwri'oflf half mj clothes when a cry of. fire ! fire ! roused us. arid in five minutes,' the whole ship was inflames!

In short there was not time for any one to think of more than two things- Can I the ship be saved ? No ; let us save j ourselves, then ; all else was swallowed up in one great ruin. ' A j ' : ; - .; t To make the best of onr misfortune, we availed ourselves of -the -light from the ship to steer a tolerably good course towards the shore; she continued to burn till about midnight, when the salt betre, of which slie had 250 tons on board, took fire, and sent up one of the most splendid and brilliant flames that was ever seen, iMuniinating tbehorizon in every uireenon, co an exieni or noi less than nity : miles, ana casting tn t kind ol blue', light' over us; whicli is, ot a 11 others, most luridly horrible, fcslie burnt and continued, to ilause in this style for about ari hour or two; when we lost: sight of the object in a cloud of smoke. j ; Neither Nelson;, norMr. Bell, our medical friend, who had-accompanied Us, had saved their coats, the tail of mincwith ii pocket handkerchief, sery-" ed to keep? Sophia's teet warm : and we made breeches: for the children with our neckcloths.

'V : i CCORD1NG to an iritiitfatiofi heretofore 4 given, there wilt-be published at this Officei during the next Sesoii of Congress, and, if encouraged by the approbation ofho Public, at every Session thereafter, a HE GISJKR OF DEBATES 1 CONGRESS, intended to compk hetHf a more full Report of the Speeches on toptcJj of gt-nera interest, in eacl HcrtSse' of. Congress, , than has1 ever heretofore been published, o than can be given to the public through the ore! nary and limited channel, the colmnn of a newspaper. This compilation , will be of the most ailtJj en tic cast, printed with great regard'to accura cy, and in a form for durable preservation:' This undertaking is no of course intended to substitute or supersede the Reports of De bates for the' National Intelligencer, but ra ther, by withdrawing the he-yy and en-end'- ed Reports from its columns, to enable trie Proprietors of that Journal to fiirnish, every day, in a comprehensive form,--intelligible Reports of the Proceedings and Discussions on the day preceding in both Houses. ' 'The ' Register" is necessarily an expert ment, but it is. an experiment the success of which we see no t. ason to doubt. Kvery one wlio takes an interest in our political his tory," as well as all those who engage in the duties of political life, mut have; felt ami la mented the want of a Record of Debates -in Congress, in a convenient foim, with index es which might leaul the inquirer to anvob- ject debated, :ind to the name of any one who engaged m !e!ate. Such a work woiilq be an elementay book for young politicians, ai d we have no. hesitation, in asserting that the possession of such a one, from the commence ment of the existing government to this day. would be ot immense value to the nation, wete it only to show what has' heretofore been said upon questions which are conti- nually recurring for discussion, and produc ing needless consumption or time bv super tluous debate, i v nat is true oi tne years that have passed, will, as soon as they are gone, be equally true ot tiiose m which we five, , ,-)' V- -!. It is not only, therefore, as a vehicle of present information, but also as a book for future reference as a National Political He positorv and Text-Book, that we hope this .work will be both useful and popular. . ' ' " From the lowness of the subscription to tne wors, u win nc seen inat it is no part or our calculation to realize any present profit from it. On the ' contrary, we shall, in all probability, lose money, by it for a year or character Avill ensure it a sufficient patronage to make it profitable. " ' GALES & SEATON. CONDITIONS.
