The pcnisal orIr.

The preervtion of the Batrure, .gen tle meat as a jubje f ornmon, is not only au object of public utility but of na'ion svl justice ; nor do I doubt, Lui that such finally will be the disposition made of it by the Congress of the United States, Who manifest m all their acts a devo tion to the general interest of the Da don.

The foil wing was received by the hip Of A Icxnt xmved jesterday from wewuriesns where it "had been received by express irom Nacogdoches, and published in an extra sheet. .' 1 nacQrdoc&ct, February 4, 1811. . On the 22d ulu the troops at Bezar, capi. Casas at their head, raised, took Guv", Salcedo, the two Hrnerai, and all the European Spaniards that were tobe found there and some others, im prisoned and deposited all their proper ty until further orders. Capt. Jeans ar rested fthcr Maynosat the Trinity, the adjutant-inspector, and Don Joseph de la Begs, also all their property, which is deposed. All the provinces of Co ahub, Biscaya, Monterry, la Colonia, Sec. ' have revolted, and the European Spaniards that did not make their es cape, taken into, custody, and their pro-t perty coofiscaled. Seignor Barcero has mustered a considerable force beyond Saltillo, in order to prevent the insur gents entering his province ; but the moment he attempted to attack them, his troops icfused. He endeavored to make his escape with the European of ficers of his army, but was soon overta ken by his own followers, and delivered up to Geru Yriarte, who commands thai division of. the GtneraUissinio Cure Ydalgos army,whicb consists of several, they say, stven or eight divisions in dif ferent directions and is .supposed to have conquered nearly all the kingdom of Mexico, by this time x in fact with a very liale exception, they have met with no resistance, but on the contrary, all received by the people with, acclama tions of jay. 1 The grand plan is Independence and the expulsion of the European Span iards. The Generalissimo has his head quarters at Selay and Guanahusto. General Yriarte was at Monelora, and i. is expected, will come to Berar. We will soon know, and then will be able to form a better idea what kind of regu lations will take place in this frontier, fee In the mean time, Oaudiana re mains our commandant, and the only variation is, that the inhabitants of this place have liberty to go to Natchitoches for their necessaries, Sec. fee. The insurgents have taken the name of Americans ; we are no more Span iards, and are obliged, when the sentries hail, Quicfi vive ? to answer Jmerica. Frtm a London Patrt .

To reason with such persons would be folly ; I shall, thtrefore, letive them to be convinced, if that is possible by .the glorious event which all reasonable men and orthodof politicians anticipate with so much con fidence. In the meanwhile however, I cannot help observing the altered tine of our friend of the Morrrng Post, who now insists upon it, that the bending of reinforcements to lord Talevera is wise and evtn necessary! 1 really must give way to my indignation at this. I try but I cannot contain myself upon this point. What ! Beat the French at J3usaco and fire the Park and tower guns ; wc then draw them, drag them trfter us, as if by a rope round their neck to Torres Ve dras ; we get them safely into a trap ; then laugh at them, while they taw star ving there and stewing down their hor ses ; and after all this we want rein force ipents from England in order to be able to attack them ; attack, did I say ? Nay, by all that's impudent, in order to be able to withstand them What! Need reinforcements in order to be able to withstand an army, nay, a part of the army whom we had beaten u shamefully at Busaco I Netd? rein forcements in order to enable us to With stand ar army that were without pro visions or huts ; whose rear was cut off ; who had not an inch of ground but that on which they stood ; an army that we had caught in a trap, and that we laughed al ; stand in need of rein forcements from England to withstand" such an army ? Ah I " fashionable world !" Ah ! u the most thinking people," in Europe ! Pray do look well at this day. Do, if you mean not to be 4 laughed at' you: selves, guard your ears against the assertions, of those truly, a- bominable prints. You will observe that one of two things roust be true, namely, that rem forcements cannot be necessary, nay that, as, adding to the number of mouths at Lisbon, and with in the lines, they must ba injurious to our army ; or that what the Morning Post has told us about traps, and starv ings and laughing at, is falsehood. Let the renal gentleman choose: between these two - And observe again, thai if he should say, that his intelligence a bout the traps, tec, was not of his own invention, he only shifts the falsehood from his own shoulders to those of his correspondents in Portugal. Here there fore, let him choose-again : but, let us be upon our guard. Let us wait the event, and believe not a word that he and his fellow laborers say BRITISH WEST-INDIES ORDINANCE. v. v - . v j. - For the encouragement of British vessels im porting provisions in the colony of Marti nique.

J v Ii reading the Aurora of the 22d inst. I find a receipt of Mr. Von Aktn of O febro (Swedep) for extinguishing fire. The distressing scenes, we so frequent ly witness, in seeing our own or neigh- bors property consumed into ashes, ought to make -a disebvety of means, a t m i J i - ' m '-'''- wnereoy tni5?eicment wnen raging can be subdued, most valuable and impor tant. Experiments have been made in several parts !of Europe to this purpose, but without success. ' F. Joachin i'jVon Aken's receipt, consisting of burnt al lum. creen vitriol, red oxid of iron, clav and water, claims certainly our atten tion. Being; present, and an eye wit ness to the efficacy of this composition, at the following public experiment near Stockholm Oct. 27th 1792, in the pre sence of the toyal family, and a large concourse of respectable spectators, was made, I deem it my duty to give the public an idea of said fire, and ther.ex tinguishment of the same. ; J A boat of about 30 feet keel, was rais ed on poles 8 feet from the ground, pay ed out and inside, with pftch and tar, to the thickness of an inch In the mid dle of said boat, was an iron pot; con taming 1 2 gallons of pitch, placed so as to set the same a milling. Around the boat, were 100 empty tar barrets laid in rows, and with other combustibles dip ped in tar and turpentine so connected as to enable the fire to spread itself tho roughly,, when the. pitch bpikd.cverv A, roof of, dry boards overspread with tart covered the whole, and took up a space of about 1800 feet in circumfer . erice, and 18 in height. Fire being kin dled under the poU, the same was cau sed to boil over, and the whole was in stantly in a flamed After six or seven minutes,'. when t)ie fire appeared to have arrived to its full strength,' Mr,. Vori A-; ken begun his operations with a com-' mon fire engine and o the satisfaction; of every spectator, notwithstanding the increasing wind, in less than four mi nutes completely extinguished the same with about 45 gallons of the mixture and that every parthadf been in full blaze j wai . afterward evidently seenj by the: -stif perficies of tne - samey' beingooated nearly one quarter of an inch. -"" "fxy It has been ascertained that this onv position will extingtiish oil. sugar &c and the only reason Iknow of, why it is not more frequerft in use, is the high price Of the different ingredients requi- " I am of opinion that common rock" salt properly pjalvejistd, jwill-nearly an swer, the same purposes' as alln.ni ri triolf ; &c excepting that a house aavied by p solution of salt vill afterwards cbn tinoalljr remain damp, which I attrtbute to the quantitJ of fJnwf tVa it cootains.
