On prognosticating the changes of the
/feather.—This is a subject which, for
many ages, has claimed the attention of
mankind; but although much has been
done to discover the causes ol the chang
es of the weather, yet little has been ef
fected in discovering the general laws by
w hich 11lose are caused. However, all
observers have remarked that great
changes often take place at the full and
change of the moon, and when she is
nearest and farthest from the earth. In
deed, it appears that the same causes
which affect l he tides in the ocean also af
fect the atmosphere which surrounds the
earth, and all the vapors which are float
ing in it. ✓
it was observed by the Chaldeans and
other Eastern nations, that in every nine
teen years, or the completion ol the lunar
circle, when the sun, moon, and earth
came nearly into the same relative situa
tion, tire seasons were nearly the same.—
M. Cotte has been at great pains to col
lect information on this subject, and lie
remarks that there was a remarkable sim
ilarity in the weather and seasons in the
years 1720, 173*), 17bS, and 1777. M.
Du Hamel has given full and detailed ob
servations of tlie state of the weather for
the years 17-jS and 1777, and shown their
wonderful coincidence. In the same se
ries of nineteen years, will fall the years
3 7!J(), J>17, and 13d(J. Many persons
now living will recollect that the same
weather and seasons occurred in 1S17,
and the winter preceding, as in the pre
sent year. The former was preceded by
a cold, severe winter, and followed by a
colvl and wet spring, summer, and au
tumn, very smiilar to that of the present
year, l'or an exact and full camparison
ol these years, we refer to the columns of
the National Intelligencer, published iu
\\ ashiiigton, in which have been publish
ed inctercologicul tables for every month
of the year, from that tinie to the present,
and which were commenced by colonel
Meigs, and continued by the Rev. Robert
Little, Mr. William Elliot, and are now
continued by Mr. William G. Crunch.—
Let observations for a few more such pe
riods be taken, and ihe law would proba
bly be discovered.
From these observations, it will appear
that the same great principle of attraction
governs in this case as in all the solar sys
tem; that is, by the attraction of the sun
and moon, the atmosphere, loaded with
vapor, is drawn up, in a conical shape,
towaids these bodies into a higher aud
colder region, where they are then con
densed, and then descend in rain and
snow upon J lie tops of high mountains;
and this will account, in a satisfactory
manner, lor the frequency of rain at the
full and change of the moon, as well as
the moon’s perigee, which is about twenty
seven miles nearer to the earth than at its
apogee.
However, there, are some accidental
circumstances, occasioned by heat and
electricity, which affect the change oftlie
weather mid seasons, which are not so ea
sily accounted lor; for it generally hap
pens that when there is thunder anil light
ning there is also rain. And Mr. Elliot
(one of those who kept the Motcreological
Register at Washington) observed that,
when the sun had dark spots on his disk
(which he observed and published) the
temperature oi the weather was much af
fected thereby; he continued to publish an
account of these spots lor some time, as
observed by a good reflecting telescope
belonging to the government, but of the
use of which he was deprived; had they
been continued, some interesting observa
tions might have been published on this
subject.
The Meteors of November 12th and 13th.
In addition to the subjoined remarks from
a clever observer here, we present the
notice of the same phenomenon, from
Cambridge, Mass.
Tram the Nctu I orh American.
Meteors of November l’dili and J 3th.—The
annual recurrence of this phenomenon
being a subject of much interest, and one
in which observation from year to vear
can alone decide the question, the under
signed kept a careful watch on the night
of Saturday and morning of Sunday last,
and is gratified in being able to announce
ihe reappearance ot this phenomenon
with ctkksii'ew’ble brilliancy.
During the evening but few meteors
were observed, but from fs o’clock until
near dawn, successive flashes were ob
served in the cast, supposed by some to
lx 1 lightning. At 9 o’clock a very beauti
ful aurora light was seen of a pinkish
hue. This continued for a short time on
ly, though a general luminous appearance
in the north remained during the whole
night.
About 2 o’clock in the morning several
meteors were seen to dart across the Great
Bear, and from this time constant watch
was kept until dawn.
From 2 till 3 o'clock ninety meteors
were counted, some being small, but the
greater number of great size and brillian
cy, resembling a racket both in the explo
sion and trail left behind them; their trails
lasting iu some instances for nearly two
minutes.
With two or three exceptions, the course
of the meteors was divergent from a point
in Leo, dec. 20 deg. R. A. Jot) deg. near
ly. The place of this point was fully con
firmed during the night.
From 3 till 4 o’clock one hundred and
fifty meteors were counted, and three hun
dred in all were enumcrateflj^ter this
time we kept no aceouut of tht^Pmber,
though many more appeared.
From the situation of the obsftffvcr it is
probable that more than half escaped no
tice.
Several were seen in the clear light of
dawn; and Jupiter, Venus and Mars, all
shining with great brilliancy, Xvere Alter
nately out shone by these transient rivals.
The night was one of uncommon beauty
and mildness, and the opportunity for ob-
servalion remarkably fine. No doubt now
exists, in the mind of the observer as to
the distinct and peculiar characters^ this
phenomenon; for, though an attentive ob
server of such matters, he has never seen
any thingbearing the slightest resemblance
to-this display, except on the night of No
vember 12th and loth, lS33jpwhen lie
had the good fortune to observe thg»sutne
appearance while at sea, oil’ tlicffarbor
of Pernambuco, one year before the far
famed “shower of stars” in 1S33, gener
ally supposed to be the first time of its
appearance. G. O. S.
The Motors.—The “meteoric shower”
was noticed this morning, but was far in
ferior to what has been described on for
mer occasions At half past three there
were a few light clouds in the southeast,
from which flashes of lightning were seen
in rapid succession—the stars were bril
liant, occasionally obscured, in part, by
thin floating vapor. At eighteen minutes
before 4 o’clock, a large meteor darted
from the north; it was quite luminous,
and in size apparently equal to one half
the full moon. This was succeeded by
many smaller meteors, and twenty-three
were counted by me, during an hour and
a half; several were seen by other per
sons in the room, which escaped my no
tice. During this time one was observed
of great brilliancy, having a luminous
train apparently a yard in length. The
lightning continued the whole time, and
there was considerable appearance of
the Aurora Borealis.—Courier.
Cambridge, November 13, 1S2G.
A Ilurieane Chasing a Gold Mine.—A fu-
rinus huricane took place on the ISth Novem
ber iu Rutherford county, North Carolina.—
It unroofed the houses, blew down the fences,
and carried off the fodder stnek* of several
planters near Rutherfbrdson, besides lavellinp
forests to die ground nnd blockading up tbe
roads with their ltuge trunks. Its length was
leu niiios, and its breadth a quarter of a mile.
Among other freaks it took up a chicken house,
and filled the air with a flock of fowls, turkeys
and (lacks. About five miles north of Ruthor-
fordson, a vein of gold has been traced at least
three miles, and a largo company has com
menced operating upon a portion of it. with
every prospect of realism,* a. pruOt «n
their investment. The gale encountered this
vein at om; end, pursued it for tho whole three
miles, with as much exactness as the most skil
ful mineralogist would trace it, through its va
rious windings, literally sweeping «vory
before it.
A foolish story, copied from some lying En
glish publication, has been reproduced in the
Standard and Bulletin, ft h headed “During
exploit of English Sailors,” and is as perfect a
tissuo of lies as could be formed to please the ap
petite of those who are delighted with every cir.
eumstancc that scorns to throw a slur upon the
character of this country. Tin's disposition is
iustioctive with some editors in the United
Slates, as well as in England. The only asser
tion oftlie article in question, not entirely false,
is that of the capture of the individual to whom
allusion is made: the manner of his capture, as
related in that article, is a fancy sketch. The
purser of whom the story is told, was Mr.
Thomas Shields, as estimable and brave an of.
fleer as ever drew a sword : he had been a lieu
tenant iu the navy, but on account of his great
deafness, was obliged to relinquish that station
—he wais an excellent and skilful seaman.
When the British army began to evacuate the
soil of Lnuisiania, Shields proceeded through
Lake Ponchartrain and the Riggolets, in the vi-
cimty of the mouth of Bayou Bicnvenu, with
twe boats, carrying together about twenty men,
all volunteers. The English officers nnd sol-
diers were passing in boats from the canal to
their fleet. Speaking the same language,
Shields and his men wore undoubtedly mista
ken for Englishmen, and mingled unsuspected-
I v and undisturbed among the boats of the one..
my. Ilis first attempt was of the most daring
and gallant kind and was completely successful.
A large boat was accidentally out of reach of
assistance from the rest, although plainly in
sight of them: she had on board 31 men, the
most of whom were dragoons, armed with sa-
bres, with an officer at their head. Shields
dashed upon her, with one boat, led his brave
fellows oil b ’ard, and captured her in two min
utes, though his force was not one third of that
which was opposed to him. Scarcely any re-
sistance was offered: one of the soldiers drew
his sabre, nnd was in the act of assailing Shields,
when he was saluted hy a stroke from the cut-
lass ol Mr. Swiller, then a youth, and since well
known nnd esteemed as an able aud efficient
commander of steamboats on the lakes; the blow
cut through the - dragoon’s cap, and inflicted a
severe wound upon Itis head. Several other
captures were made in a similar manner: as the
prisoners were taken, they were sent under
guard to the American troops, stationed at Chef
Men tear or Fort St John:—the whole number
of prisoner thus made was about 120. At
length Shields was left in his boat, with three
of bis men, and fifteen prisoners: having stop,
pod his course for soma reason or other, when
lie wished to make sail, his men were unable on
account of their small number to raise the. grap
nel): Shields rashly went into the bow of the
boat in order to assist them: while thus employ,
ed, with their hacks turned towards the prison-
ers the latter rushed upon them, find by their
immense superiority of numbers, were easily en
abled to set themselves at liberty and make
prisoners of their captors. Shields never fell
asleep in his watch, and never was thrown into
the water, as the publication falsely asserts. His.
gallantrv had excited the admiration of the
whole English fleet, and when captured he was
treated with marked civilitv. These facts are
familiar to many in New Orleans, who were, in
part; eye-witnesses to them. Shields often re
lated the story, with great good humor at the
handsome manner in which he was received by
Admiral Cochrane and his officers—but never
forbore to blame his own indiscretion in neglect
ing to put bis prisoners in irons—of which pre
caution, in truth, their superior number ought
to have indicated the necessity^—Afic Orleans

From the Globe.
We publish the following interesting
narrative, latelv received at the War De
partment, being a report of tho march of
two companies of United States’ Artille
ry, and the Native Regiment, command
ed (ascolo.iel) by the late captain Lane,
of the Dragoons, from Tampa Bay to
Fort Drane, Florida, by capt. II. Brown,
fourth United States’ Artillery, acting as
lieutenant colonel of ths Native Regiment
at the time:
Fort Drane, October 22,1S3G.
Governor—The melancholy event which
occurred here on the JDth, causes the du
ty to devolve ou me of reporting to vou
the movements of the regiment of Creek
volunteers since its departure from Tampa
Bay. W e left our catnp near Fort Bn>< >ke,
and crossed the Hillsborough river on
Monday, the 10th instant, and encamped
about one mile from the fort. On Tues
day we marched eighteen, on Wednesday
nineteen, and on Thursday twenty miles,
• :hout any thing of interest having oc-
red. On Friday, the 14th, we started
iu seven o’clock, and having marched
three m- four miles, one of our scouts re
ported a hostile Indian on our right flank:
immediate pursuit ensued, hut being
mounted, he evaded us. On arriving at
the place where he disappeared, we dis
covered as fai as the eye could reach, ex
tensive lakes, in which Were many and
heavily timbered islands, connected to
gether, in some instances, by extensive
marshes, containing a heavy growth of
grass. Our Indians having reported a
fresh trail, and that a village was seen in
the vicinity, colonel Lane called a hair,
and made preparations for a scout. We
accordingly left onr Horses anti baggage,
and struck off in a northeast direction:
we soon found a small deserted village;
proceeding-onward towards the south, wo
passed over some line hammock, and
came to a ford of some two hundred yards
which our troops crossed, party hy swim
ming and partly by wading, carrying their
ammunition on the points of their bayo
nets. Having reached the opposite side,
we found extensive corn fields, and a few
cattle and ponies: here was. also a small
village. Pursuing the trail, we came to
an extensive marsh, a mile at least in
length. Our Indians leading the wav, we
plunged in, the mud and water being from
four to six leei deep, our horses soon be
came exhausted, and all very soon had to
be abandoned. We then pursued our
course ou foot, the water at times up to
our necks, and bottom so soft as to m ike
it almost impossible to keep our heads
above water. We, at length, safelv reach
ed the shore, having passed a ford, such
as I presume has seldom or ever been at
tempted by white troops. We found our
selves on a beautiful fertile island, of se
veral miles in extent, with a trail running
south, which we pursued about a mile,
and arrived at an extensive village, which
had evidently been but recently abandon
ed. Hera we found corn, cattle, hogs,
many domestic utensils, and several

From the New Orleans Courier, 12th inst.
From Texas, we learn that Santa An
na has been liberated, and was alxiut to
proceed to Nacogdoches, on his way to
Washington city, doubtless to conclude
some treaty with our government.
1* rom .Mexico, we have accounts, al
though we do not think them entitled to
much credit, that the Mexicans were
making formidable preparations to invade^
Texas. In -conseqtience ol this report,
'(_ri*-j.g wm
more westerly for half a mile, we came
to another large village, where we also
found the same. 1 presume the two vil
lages must hare contained about one hun
dred and fifty lodges. From thence we
followed the trail about half a mile, to a
small declivity, at the bottom of which
was a small pond, and on the side of
which was alow scrub, that extended to
the left, about half a mile, and on the
rig!it of which was a thick hammock.—
Our van was here saluted by the enemy,
which was promptly returned. We im
mediately pushed on, and a smart skir
mish, of a half hour’s duration, ensued,
when the enemy gave way, and retired
into the hammock; the scrub being so
very thick as to be impenetrable. We
pursued for a mile or more, both parties
keeping up a running fight, when we
came to an extensive open field, to the op
posite side of which we pursued, when
the enemy scattered in another thick
hammock, and we gave up the pursuit,
having, in the whole skirmish, had but
one niHn wounded. It is but an act of
: islice to say, that every man did his du-
and if I have any blame to find with
:* officers of the regiment, it is for their
to-- ?rc?t eagerness to push forward, and
get iu rv* Bate contact with the enemy.
The loss .ire enemy could not be ascer
tained, n -he number engaged, in conse
quence of the well known fact, that they
immediately cany their killed and wound
ed off the field; and that the scrub in
which the principal skirmish took place,
was so very thick, that hut few could be
seen at a time. I should say, however,
that there were thirty or forty of them,
and several were doubtless killed and
wounded, from the heavy fire poured into
the scrub. On our return, our Indians
killed some hundred cattle, and probably
as many hogs, and drove, to camp alxiut
two hundred of the former. We return
ed by another trail in a northwestern di
rection, and having swam about one hun
dred yards to the main land, reached
camp about sunset. Our Indians, during
the night, brought in more cattle, so that
we had in all about four hundred head.—
We marched the next day about twelve
miles, having passed on our right, a con
tinued succession of extensive lakes and
swamps. On Sunday, the lGth instant,
we reached the Withlacoochce at alxiut
ten o’clock, and made immediate prepa
rations for crossing, which we performed
by eight o’clock in the evening, by means
of a small canoe, and some very small
rafts made by the Indians. We encamp
ed for the night just without the walls of
Fort Izard; the next morning, pursuing
our march, we struck a large trail leading
to the southwest, which we followed for
seven miles and encamped—during the
evening your detachment arrived. The
next morning, we took up our line of
mark for this place, proceeded twenty
two miles, encamped, and arrived here
the next morning at half past nine o’clock.

His excellency R. K. Call, commander-in-
cki.f
the Texiau Secretary of War had issued
a proclamation, calling upon all able bn—
died citizens to take arms, atul defend tire
country, in case of an attack.
Since the above was in type, we have-
received additional intelligence through
papers and from private letters.
Fittest from Mexico. A commercial
friend has favored us with the annexed in
telligence:—
San Luis To ton., October 31.
About fifteen hundred men left Mexico,
arid will arrive iu a lew days here. To-
day generals Bravo, Valencia,and. Rami
rez Sezma are expected. From a divi
sion of eight hundred men, which left
M exico, alier two days march, eighty men
had deserted. Most of the officers ap
pear to have a certain aversion against
marching to Texas, and general Andrade,
who is now here, has declared that he
would march against Texas under, no
other condition but that Tornel would
joiu him. A sublime idea, indeed! as
Andrade knows very well that Tomel
vtvutu ^Liav last iiitCii lO 5H.) lO l'exas.—
Cue battalion, in the city of Mexico, has
refused to march on account of getting no
pay. From all accounts, it would ap
pear that the government will not succeed,
to keep, of all the marching troops, above
three thousand for the intended new cam
paign.
Extract of a letter, tfated—
Tampico, November 21.
General Vasquez, the late commander
at Vera Cruz lias been dismissed. He is
succeeded by Grcgerio Gomez as military
commandant, anti general Caitro, as com
mandant general lor tire State.
Other letters from the same place, state
that much bad feeling prevailed against
the Americans, and that a war between
the two countries is not at all improbable.
An American vessel had been seized
by the authorities of Ciunpeachy, and, as
a matter of course, condemned, and the
proceeds divided amongst the captors.
We are further informed that the Unit*
ed States’ ship Natchez, whilu^at Vera
Cruz, had two seamen impressed from
her; and that while eight others of her
crew were ashore, they became, inebriat
ed, and were arrested, and lodged in jail.
On the next day, an officer of the Natch
ez", accompanied by the American Con
sul, demanded their release, which was
peremptorily refused. The commandant,
Vasquez, ordered them to be ironed, ancT
intimated his intention to retain them, ter
clean the streets, and do other public labor.
This, however, was believed to be only a
finesse to deceive, as it was generally be
lieved that they had been embarked on
board of the Mexican brig of war Liber-
tador, bound on a cruize, in consequence
of which the Natchez had sailed iu pur
suit of her.
Wc are somewhat curious to know if
the deserting troops, above spoken of, are -
the same whose heroic ardor one of our
morning papers lately said it was neces
sary to restrain, by binding them togelh--
er in dozens? If so, it would seem their
impetuosity took an opposite turn, upcirv
being let loose!
Latest from Texas.—By an arrival from*
Velasco [Texas] we have the Texas Tel
egraph of the 2Gth and 30th ult., from*
which we make some extracts:
As Santa Anna is the lion of the day
[tiger, when in power,] and as every
body appears to wish to know his move
ments, we state, for the information of all,,
that ^ic will leave, with an escort of five
men,‘'for Natchitoches, and from thence’
proceed by steamboat via the West, to*
Washington city; so that New Orleans,,
which contributed so much to the down—
fal, will not have tbe satisfaction oi his
passing through her, in a very different
condition from the way he once insolently
prophecied he would march to the capi-
tol. . *
A bill has been passed in the Texiair
Legislature, for an increase in the navy.
It provides for the building or purchase of
tbe following number and description of
vessels:
One sloop of war, mounting twenty-
four guns, and of such a draft of water a*
will enable her to’enter the port of Gal
