Extract til a letter from a respecta
ble house in Liverpool to their car-
resp indent in this citv, dated 1st July,
1819.
The weather lately havir-g been rather
«cul.| and wet, our harvest will not be
early as the fineness of the spring led u« at
fine time to anticipate, but solar no actual
injury has been done to the growing crop*,
ami Ihey are reported in general to look
well. With fuluro favourebte weather, it
w ill therefore be perceived from the state
of the average r-turns at present, that our
parts may expect to close next quartet
ogainst all descriptions of foreign grain,
more especially when it is considered that
. while the itnpi rt rates remain fixed at
what they were, the m-rket prices
of every thing under a return to a
metalic currency are relatively reduc

Spain, a*>d that nothing but the fear of an
insurrection among the negroes has pre
vented the. attempt.”
“On a cursory view it may appear a great
object for the British government to obtain
Hubs, a rolony that oy good administra
tion would soon outstrip what St. Domin
go once was under the French.” >It ought
also not tobe Forgotten, that the entire sub
sistence of the island depends on external
supplies, consequently a maratimu war
must produce ruin, more particularly bc-
rween't ie United States and the holder ol
Hub*. ‘-Our government is certainly de
vising means to check the rapid growth

Cuba by us would have a contrary effect.

Itevereux's Legion.—iWe are happy to
be informed, from the beat authority, that
the late disturbance io this town origina
ted from no spirit ofviolenee or insubordina
tion among the Irish legion of general
Devcreux; a legion winch has conducted it
self with particular moderation, ,-ir.d has
'preserved that degree of order which it
was almost impossible to have previously
expected from a numerous body of men,
who cannot yet be in a state of strict dis
cipline. The affair arose from a treat giv
on by the crews »f some vessel* of file U.
States to these worthy and spirited fellows,
whose object is to give freedom to their
American brethren tu the southern conti
nent. Elevated by the entertainment,
they hail received, they were returning to
their quarters, when a lew perceiving an
unfortunate woman in the hands of the
watchmen, undertook to liberate her, and
forgot, for .1 moment, the respect thev
ow.-d to the -police of the town, in that gal
lantly which is the characteristic of tli'ie
country. They were joined in (his acci
dental exploit by an officer, not of geo.
Ilevereux’s legion, but in his majesty's
service, who has since been liberated, on
bail. We may add to this, that the con
duct cf Dtvereux’s legion has been consid-
red to be exemplary, by many ol the most
Highly respected person* in the town, and
that some who viewed.the essemb’agr of so
many men with jealousy are, from tiie con

There ha* been an extensive demand To*

«ac gsltmated to exceed #<*> hhdi at ad
the first political inl'oi matio.i, and they dis
tinctly state, that the treaty made with
loe U. States, for the transfer of the two
Florida} had not been ratified by his Catholic
Majesty, further adding that theie was not
the least probability, for the present, of its’
receiving the royal sanction. On this cu
rious and important matter great demurs
uavc recently taken place, and it has beet,
t emed singular that the Spanish negoci-
ator *fthe treaty (now in London) should
have quitted the seat of the Federal gov
ernment before the finish had been put to
his v.trk. The whole transaction lias been
an extremely boisterous and complicated
one, but since the first arrangements were
made, great obstacles liavo occurred. On
the one hand, it is thought ^;.ain Ins been
-old, that if she cedes the F crid.ts to one
power, she r.iust cede Cul*i to anothei;
whilst it is on the other side rumored lliai
the United States find encumbrance-
in the shape ol grants of territory, which
were not anticipated. In the whole n> gn-
ciation a great degree of finesse has been
used, but time will show which pirtylns
been the dupe.—Ferifcand’s government
is well aware how much the United St.t -
.'oert the Florida*, and he mil, if he con.
impose condition* beyond those of iiciira:.
ity. Spain failed in her negotiation* r.l
the congress to reuse Europe against .S ul'.i
kuicrica; she will now endeavor to sell,
under the best bargain*, part ot her wes
tern empire, in order not to lose *he who'e.
and we shall be happy event..ally t<> find,
that the ForeignEulistment Bill is untune
of the branch.-* of her crooked policy.—
Of this, however, she may be certain, that
if on such an exhibition of the oftair as the
President will feel himself compelled to
make to congress, it should appear that
*nv undue influence hr. been used to ivitl
'mill the ratification, the popular cry will
•re to take the Florida* by farce, for im-
inei:«e sums have already been laid oat by
individual* in land speculations, and ;great
preparation* made for settling there.—

It is asrrious fact, that in the last year
IS17-18, the trade from America to Chinn
employed 7,000,000 dollar*, and 16,000
tons of shipping: during the same time th>.
Bri:i*h trade to China occupied 6.300,000
•I..Kars,and 20,000 tons shipping; conse
quently, allowing that the American mer
chant receives his return m the course of
oney ar, while the British requires nearly
tw;>ye.->ri—the American trade to China
i* already more extensive than ncrown —

Letters from Cadiz were received by
the post of yesteiday, stating that severs'
of tile British transports had been dischar

submit to new conditions (he Spaniard
wished to impose upon them. It appears
that the experience acquired by the puv
dliase of the rotten Ilu.sian ships has mad
the Cadiz committee extremely cautiou
and they now insist on the British ship
being stripped before -they proceed to sea
though mine of them were fresh copper,
before they left this country. With thi
the captains refused to comply.

our Boston correspondent for Halifax pa
pers to the 7th inst.
The Halifax papers contain the follow
ing extracts from Jatmi.j papers:
Jamaica, July 8.—AH the partizans of
the buccaneering cause give out a drcadhil
war-note. J’urto Hello, they sav, must be
again taken. Troops for the purpose ace
collecting at St. Domingo, 81. Andreas,
and Old Providence. In anticipation they
already beludd themselves in possession of
that city. \Vo readily believe, if they are
enabled to collect- • sufficient force, with
tlie requisite ca,li, that bn attempt will be
made on some point of South America, and
most likely it will be Porto Bello; hm their
success will be very dnublful, as the roy
alists, wc hope, will be prepared fur such
a band, who with a view only of plunder,
are holding out the fallacious idea of as
sisting to emancipate South America from
Spanish thraldom.

1VOXDK11S OF THE JIISROSCOPK
Of all t.ue beautiful dssc.verie* with
which we have become acquainted, in
the progress of the physical sciences, there
are none more striking than the munis-
cope, or which may be studied with grea
ter case; the application of a powerful
lens to any of those minute objects which
we have daily in our power to examine,
exhibit a scene of wonder, of which tho-u
who never witnessed cannot form an ade
quate idea. In the introduction to a mo-
lern system of etymology there i* a des
cription of the process by which the spider
weave* its web. After dcscnbii.g the
four spinners as (hey are termed, (ruin
which the vi*lble threads proceed, the wit
ter makes the following curious observa-
mins:—“These arc the machinery, through
which, by process more singular than ttiat
.it rope spinning, the thread is drawn.—
Each spinner i* pierced like the plate a
wire-drawer wit., a multitude of holes, so
numerous and exquisitely fine, that a
sp ire not often bigger than a pin point in
cludes a thousand. Through eacli of these
i.ilcs proceeds a thread of an inc<mc<-iva-
ufc tenuity, which, immediately alter issu
ing from the orifice, unite* with oil these
threads from the same spinner into one
Hence from each spinner proceeds a com
pound thread; and tnese four threads at
the distance of about one. tenth of co inch
from the apex ol the spi-mcr again unit- - ,
ind form tlie thread wo are accu*t.nned r*
see, which the spider uses in funning it*
web. Thus a spider’s well, even spun hr
toe smallest specie* and when so fine that
it is almost impracticable to our senses, w
not. as we suppose a single tine, but a rope
composed of at lea-t 4<KiO strands. But,
tu follow all the wonders of this fact, we
must follow Leuwenhuecrk in one ol hi*
calculations on the subject. Thi* renown-
misroscope observer found, by an acruiatu
estimation, that the threads ol the spider*,
some of which are not larger than u grain
»f sand, are so fine that 4,WO,009 of them
would not exceed in thickness one of the.
hairs uf his beard. Now, we know that
each of these threads is composed of 4009
threads still finer. It follows therefore
that above 16,000,000 of the finest thread*
which issue from such spiders are not at-
‘ igether bigger than a human hair.”
