This plan is the invention of Mr. Ralph Watson, who unlike most projectors, does not seek to derive any pecuniary emolument from his invention. Mr. Watson observes, in a well written pamphlet which he has published upon the subject, that the principle of the invention is the unerring law of nature—namely, that what ever is specifically lighter than the quantity of water which its , own bulk will displace by im mersion will swim ; a position exemplified by various proofs, but by none more aptly than that of the organic arrangement of fish :—for the buoyant or floating power of the whale (whose weight is known to exceed 100 tons) and of all other fishes which swim, is solely dependent upon an air-bladder with which they are each furnished —as, in the event of this bladder being perforated, the fish, from its greater specific gra vity than the sea, instantly sinks, and never again floats. " The invention itself," Mr. Watson farther observes, "is the employment of the tubes made of copper (or of any other substances, if found to be equally secure, &c.) of a cylindri cal form, terminating at each extremity by con vex or semi-globular ends ; the whole to be her metically sealed, and to contain, in number and capacity, a bulk or quantity of atmospheric air equal to counterbalance that extra portion of the weight er specific gravity of the ship and her contents, which otherwise, in case of leak, and the ship filling with water, would cause her to sink." These " safety tubes" the inventor designs to place in the spaces between the beams of the decks ; also between the timbers or ribs, the shell-pieces, and the planking, and in all other places below the decks which may be occupied without inconvenience. The tubes would pre sent a uniform circular surface, and would there fore, when immersed, be perfectly secure against the pressure of the water occasioned by the weight of the ship ; and, from spreading their buoyant power uniformly over the whole range of the ship's decks, Mr. Watson thinks they would not, in case of the ship filling, disturb her equili brium, or centre of gravity. We arc aware that it may be objected to this plan that the tubes would be liable to be disar ranged or broken by the motion of a ship in action, or in a storm, but these accidents, we should imagine, might be guarded against, in a great measure, by making the tubes of a propor tionable strength. At any rate the experiment would 1)c worth trying, particularly as it may be done at a comparatively small expense ; namely, the expense of making the tubes, and placing them in the ship. The intrinsic value of the copper would not be at all deteriorated by the experiment. The plan might not be universally applicable to all ships, on account o f the room which the tubes wou ld occupy ; —b u t this objec tion, if indeed it b e one , cou ld not apply to packet ships. For our part, we see no reason why the experiment should not be tried, while, when we consider the great loss of life, to say nothing of property, occasioned by ships foun dering at sea, we see many why it should. Surely th e G overnmen t might spare a few hun dred p oun d s i n makingthe expernuent—an ex periment w hi c h, if it should turn out successful , would refl ec t infinitely more honour upon them than all the national improveme nt s a n d embel lishments which have been adopted during the present reign. Mr. Watson has const ructed a m o del, wi th the view of affording a practical illustration of his plan. It is in due proportion to the dimen ced in w a t er without sions and to the actu al wei g ht of an SO gun ship, when equipped for a four months' voyage, This model, having a npla s ;---hut with the " safety tubes" affixed to th e ma i n, t h e eak in the her '‘ st t e t t o y m— tubes," NYl sinks e middle, and the lower decks, it foals, and with a power of buoyancy so great, that, upon its• being forcibly pressed under water, it rises to the same point of elevation at which it before rest ed—namely, with the main deck above the surface.

SOUTH, DON. JUAN JOSE IrLOREs. • " Guayaquil, Sept. 3. Having informed your Excellency, in my note of the Ist of last month, that the Peruvian corvette La Libertad, had established her cruise off the Isle of Deadman's Chest (del Muerte), and that she had searched every national and foreign vessel which entered this port, or sailed from the same, your ExcelleneY thought proper to order an explanation to be demanded from the Captain of the said Peruvian vessel, respect ing his reasons for reinaining on this station, and observing a conduct so threatenin g and hostile to the commerce of this Republic. In consequence of thiS, Captain Thomas Charles Wright sailed in the national schooner Guayaquilena, on the 27th of last month, accompanied by the corvette Pichincha; and having fallen in with the said Peruvian corvette on the 31st tilt., at. the mouth of the Tumbes, and approached her within can non-shot, for the purpose of communicating his mission to the Commander of the Libertad., when he observed the Peruvian vessel Treparing to fire into the Guayaquilena, within hail ; but having given her to understand that he was com missioned to ascertain the-intention with which the said corvette sustained a blockade, his answer was a broadside from:the starboard quarter. This act compelled. Captain Wright to exceed the limits of his commission, which had not provided for such an occurrence. The details of the ens gagement are contained in the annexed report of Captain Wright. The Pichincha corvette, which accompanied the Guayaquilena, did net co operate in the defence of our flag as she ought to have done. The reasons which occasioned this omission cannot be ascertained but by the inquiry which I have ordered to-be instituted.— God preserve your Excellency. (Signed) " JUAN ILLINGROT.

" TO the Commander of El Apostadero. " In consequence of the last order of yous Excellency with respect to the departure of the schooner Guayaquilena and the Pichincha corvette, I fell in yesterday morning with the Peruvian corvette La Libertad, and found heir at anchor at Point Malpelo, but being becalmed. and upwards of ten miles distant, that vessel had an opportunity of getting under sail before we could approach her. As soon as a breeze sprung up, I made a signal to the Pichincha to come within hail, and gave verbal orders to her Com mander to follow my movements closely, in order that we might engage the corvette with our unit ed forces. At two p.m. I saw that the Pi chincha could not keep up with me, on account of her bad sailing ; I therefore determined to approach the enemy alone, taking it for granted that the Pichincha would shortly, and with ease, take up the position, I had pointed out to her in case of any collision. Finding the Peru vian corvette prepared for action, and having no other means of communication than to come within hail of her, I ran under her lee within half-pistol shot, and asked her the reason for keeping up a blockade by cruising in the mouth of this river. I received only ftivolous answers, and at last a discharge of a broadside, which was well answered on our part. Within five minutes both our vessels were lashed to each other; but I always managed to leave the necessary room int this manoeuvre for our corvette Pichincha attack ing her to windward. Unfortunately a calm suc ceeded, and this vessel did not come up till halt' an hour had elapsed. During this interval I had to sustain the enemy's round and grape shot fire as well as his musketry. Finding myself placed in this situation, after the second broad side I determined to board her ; but, when I gave the word of command to this effect, I ob served a conflagration at our head, and, directing my attention to extinguish the same, I succeed ed in accomplishing it in a few minutes. At last, when the Pichincha came up, I ordered her Commander immediately h to c i a r t e t t a i c in k st i a n n t e l e t the quarter shou ktl had directed him ; but he d 3 i ; d .reod il l o bt t yl et o illii s lsa o i , N:lel a sn i sa l e t s l it , , of c a s eat s t e y s , the i d ,tiostieliodlceoleolrfsenet(inrie,o,:viatiiteot capturing at g a the' aban hat Peruvian corvette, whose crew was, from the be ginning, wholly her decks no one to take leave availed i care of her msito the stern ; s i rt : lg .self if I had had a crew to sup' port me.

His vessel came up to the Guayaquilcna when engaged, was taken abaft by accident rather than by any fault of her Commander, and the only fault of which this officer was guilty is his want of ar rangement for coming into action. I am ex ceedingly gries t. e ihi d iecd to relate 36 E v n l a a n te t to t your Ex ce ll ency the loss of men which thi s vesse l h as sustained: soitgoitidedde ; N a r i a n i o s s n e e. a s u t the2s 7fnoerimin former r er i e killed Juan Gonzales, a corporal and six soldiers of the garrison, and 17 seamen ; amongst the latter the Comm an d er o f t hi s schooner, Claudio Lieut enant.
