Editors should al ways have their bkrgainsplaced in' black apt! white! We copied ah article frefri a London pa per, a few days since, relative to a quarrel that Itnd taken place at Mahon beta ecu' some French and AltheriCan snjlort. in which a midshipman svas killed. ’ In the JournalaJes Debats-of tlie lBlh ull.w-e find the following 'article on this subject, copied from the Advi.so deTnnlon: * “ J cenes, the result of- which we Cannot but deplore, without'heing able, to assign any cause, have taken place At Mahon lie- tween the crews ofthe French a'nff Ameri can vessels. The latter sovetal times At tacked the crews of the corvette La Po- mqne, and brig Fauna. The Am's always presented themselves in superior numbers, armed with clubs, &c. They attacked Ihe French even iri the houses, and were fre quently,. assembled at Villa Carlos, (two miles from Mahon)-a ml- there'Atiaeked at different limes Ihe sailors attached to the brig Fauna, and M. M'-ynard, a midship man was killed. . The impunity with which they ingtle their first attacks doubtless en couraged the Americans, and we eannot but regret (tie conduct of superiors who did not;take any measures to prevent - these quarrels! The conduct of tboso men has 'excited the indiunation of the inhabitants of Mahon and Villa Carlos, who have as I sored the authorities of the country; thar tlie French sailors were .id’no case the ag gressors, and solely acted on tho-defensiVe. Several saildrs'of both nations, were killed and a great number were seriously wound ed.

V On account of the lowness ofthe bridges it was necessary that the chimney should not be higher than the roof df the boat — An ingenious machine is placed in it for the purpose of creating a draft, being a kind of wind mill, running so -as' to draw the air out of the cltilriney, and turned by a band from a wheel attached to the, machi nery.
