In the course of the proceedings, the editor

that the false accounts relative to the affair

The manner of saving the turpentine is ra

• • trunk of the pine ; this is about two niches
wide, and in the summer, thu turpentine flies
to this groove, k. floats to the bottom, where
it has the appearance of rosin. This is col
lected, and proves a considerable source of
ruv-cmie. E>e>y year a new groove is cut ill
the tree, the last year’s being of no further
service. In Ibis manner the tree is cut every
year, till the whole bark lias been split ■ il
in a circle of rotation. The tree is then left
to itself, til) it again recovers the hark.—
This is again cut into ; lint the product is ne
ver so good as at first. Such a process as

fit for fire, wood Afte.i»all, it is the branch

rosin being extracted so often, the trunks

The Connecticut Mirror contains a

very one connected with that valuable

laudable purpose of cultivating minds,
which, till within a very feiv years, vvero

any useful knowledge. The progreis

LATE FROM .SPAIN.
Charleston, July 30.
By Ihe arrival yesterday of the schooler
Eliza cz Polly in four days from Havana, ivc
have received a file of the Havana Xoticioso
to the 25th inst. These papers furnish ac
counts from Bordeaux and from Cadiz to
the lllh of June—which are calculated in
some degree to strengthen the hopes of the
friends of Spanish Independence. The ship
.drill in .87 days from Bordeaux, arrived tin
the 15th inst. By this vessel, news was re
ceived ol the detent of the French Genera'
Dony aihku, in Catalonia, l.y Mina, who is
slated to have taken a convoy of 200 mules,
laden with 1,500,000 francs, the escort of
which, consisting ol 4000 men, was entirely
beaten and disperse d.

The following is under the Cadiz head of
the 9th June. “ An express has arrived
from Catalonia. We learn that Mina lias
giv en battle to the French and fuctionists, in
which the latter lost 424 men, and S00 pri
son ITS, besides several boxes of ammunition,
3 cannon and many stores. Our loss lias
also been very great.—The battle continued
a whole day without ceasing to keep up the
fire on either side, and towards night Gen.
Mina was nearly surrounded hy the superi

Colonel Manso and ZrxuiAQUt.N, coming
