Mi). “When off the Mexican co*, we ha<ft4fo» view of that natural, but imperfectly under stood phenomenon—a Water spoyt—Which, in several respects, was new, evea to the old ex perienced seamen on boardr It was a clear, warm morning, with Variabla breeds, that scarcely ruffled the surface of the ocean. At a distanco of about one hundred rods to the West ward, suddenly, thdro was a disturbing of the smooth water—within an area of perhaps an hundred feet, ft at first boiled and foamed, then a spray or vapor arose from the turmoil, wlfieh had soon a focus in its centre, hrouttd which i| whirled in a spiral form, upward^, as we often see duet, and other light substances of the earth, in the incipient stage of a Whiriwthd. It rote rapidly to the Height of throe or four hundred feet, almost perpendicular, then iWay- ed off and after forming a graceful chrvfe/‘as sumed against* almost perpendichlar position, until it pierced a light, fleefey Cloud. Its En tire height seemed to us from 500 to 000'fobt. As the column of vapor ascended; it* base upon the ocean enlarged, until itassumed a con ical form throughout its whole extent. When it touched the cloud, quick almost as an elec tric, flash, the vapor disappeared', and We hod the sublime spectacle of a gigantic Column of clear, blue water—its base'upon the sea, find its apex in the clouds ! • v ‘ “The whole mighty phenomenon was noise- less ; no other sound than tho gentle ones at the waves as they broke before th« bows hf our ship, disturbed tlm stillness of the scene. ’ The vast column swayed and undulated with foe wind, us if it had been a huge sea aeqpcnt foot was stretched from the ocean to' the' clouds! Its entire duration was from fifteentto twenty minutes, when it seemed to have performed its office, its surplus water settling down into the ocean, or rather again assuming (the^vapor, com mencing at itBconnection with the cloud. The cloud that it pierced was at firm of a light color, as I have before observed. As it began tb fill from the (nighty oonduit that haditoWbfed up ta it, it grew dense and black, as if gorged find surfeited from its vast reservoir! In the afternoon we had adrenching showat. at if the surcharged cloud was returning back to the ocean the contribution it had levied in the morning. > t We saw other Water .ftpouts in oqr voyage, but none that deserved mentioning, 'aftffr wit nessing the one I have attempod to .describe.” Boundary line between the United iBtate* and Mexico.—-The commissioners for running the boundary line, between ithe d/nited -States and Mexico, had a meeting on 4he 15fo of, Feb ruary at.San Diego, when it was determined that, ns it was impracticable during foe pres ent state of things in California to- advance beyotid the mouth of the Gija, toward New Mexico, aud nothing of importance remained to be done on that side of the line, the commis sion should adjourn tomeetatFassodel Norte, on tho 4th of November next- Col.

Com. McDonough, who commanded the American fleet, determined to risk the general engagement. So confident were the British subjects of success that a small . vessel loaded with British '.object,came into tho bay where the battle was fought,as spectators to witness the prostration of the “Star-Spangled Banner.” The action ivns commenced by the British vessels firing a broadside. At that in stant, says the historian, a chicken cock, which had escaped from one of the cotips on McDon ough’s vessel, flev upon one of the guns and by a loud crow seemed to hurl back a defiance at the hungry foe. The instant this\W»» heart! the whole body of soldiers, officers find' fill greeted the gallant bird with three cheers. Sailors are naturally superstitious'.; and Mr. Cooper in his Naval History, says the crowing of the fowl, had a powerful efllfet upon the known tendencies of the sgfonen. During the battle the chicken cock flew upon foe rigging, and from there, far above the heads of the combatants, could be heard between the pauses of the fearless fight foe war cry of foot gal lant and fearless bird.
