was his intention to leave Charleston for

in the west of the town. Property to a
large amount was destroyed, and hundreds
who arose in the morning rich and inde

fire being so rapid, with a strong gale, that
little property was saved from its fury
The markets were, however, but little af

provisions, drc. on hand, in the part of the
town that remained uninjured, and on
board the numerous vessels in port. Not

ascertained that the calamnity was occa

Previous to tho adjournment of Congress,
Mr. Ca.mbrf.lf.no, of the House of Repre
sentatives, laid upon the table a resolution
calling for copies of the Correspondence
between this Government andthat of Great
Britain, respecting our claim to the free
navigation of the St. Lawrence. But the
National Intelligencer states, that owing
to there not being a quorum of the House
on the next day, the resolution was r.ot ac
ted upon. It is understood to be the inten
tion of Mr. C. to move the inquiry at an
early day in the next session, should noth
ing occur in thc mean time to obviate the
necessity for it.
By an arrival at Providence, it is stated
that an American schooner, attempting to
get into San Juan de Ullua, was sunk by
the Mexican batteries. The castle then
commenced firing on Vera Cruz which did
some damage. General Santa Cruz, it
was said, had revolted ; an expedition had
boon preparing against him, but had been
abandoned.
