This morning early, the wind having
sprung up a. E. N. z. the signal was made
for the transports to weigh Immediately
and put to sea. Every preparation for sail
ing was male in consequence, and, had
the wind continued, the whole would have
been clear Of the port before this time but
il soon veered back to the westward, and
prevented their proceeding.
g Orders have heen received this day
to prepare three transports for the recep-
ton of the s7.h regiment Of foot, which,
we understand, are TO be joined by the
seth regiment. from Portsmouth, and then
both to proceed direct tor Buenos Ayres.

Miranda proceeded from Jacmel to the
island of Atuba, situated small distance
to leeward Of Curacao he left it about
the 10th April with the Leander and his
two sch'rs, and was attempting standing
towards the province Of Coro, when his
little squadron fell in with 2 Spanish pri-
vateers, one Of IA and the other of IL
guns, fitted out At La Guira BY the go
vernment Of Caracas. The Leander af-
ter attempting to engage the stoutest,
suddenly withdrew from the contest,
crowded sail and escaPed: the sch'rs
were left to their own fate, and after
triaing resistance struck their colours to
the smallest Of the Spanish priVaters. 2
young Spaniards who were on board of
the sch'rs anticipating their inevitable
fate, threw themselves overheard and
were drowned the remainder were ta-
ken and carried into Porto Cavello, where
they were lodged in iail--some Of the
leading men, young Smith among them,
were Immediately ordered up to Cara
cas-. The schrs. were entirely laden with
ammunition Of all kinds, and conside.
rable number Of proclamations in the
Spanish language from Miranda's press,
conceived in terms well calculated for
their object, to inAame the minds Of the
Spanish colonists. The fate Of the adj
venturers taken must be lamentable in
deed, their criminal rashneSs will carry
many of them to the block, as the Spa
nish government considers them in no
other light than pirates.-The blood
which very likely is already split, cannot
but fall on the heads OF the abettors and
promoters Of this Miranda expedition in
this uountry would have been much TO
be wished for that no suspicious should
have appeared against our government in
this scandalous affair but ifthe cireum-
stances stated in Mr.. Ogden's memorial
to congress as far as they relate, both to
the president aud Mr.. Madison prove
correct, the consequences for the eoun-
try IN general, and many families in par
ticular, will be too serious to be over
looked, and they should answer, not on
ly for all the mischief, but also for the
stain thrown on our government and ma.
tionat character. No great sagacity Is
required to anticipate that SPAN and
France will call apea ~ fer some MILL.
ons Of dollars by way of compensation,
and We shall be indebted for this new
blessing to our virtuous and philosophic,
economical administration.

SurpIisins Extricatien Of hgRammd6Is
Air,


Near one ofthe sources of Licking Ri.
yer, in Kentucky, there is a separation
I ofphilogistous gas from somethinsi in the
interior strata Of the earth, in greater
quantity than is perhapsSknown in any
part Of the world, TIKI light and in
fammable fluid is discharged through
water into the atmospheric. It bubbles
necessarily through the centre of mud
dy pool, Of about tworods, in diameter.
I The gas readily takes fame On burning
gun powder in it, or by the approach Of
any blazing body. The volume Of it i.
so great, that man who approached near
enough to snap pistol in it which he
held in his hand, was suddenly envelop-
ed in the fame, and sorely singed before
he could escape. When Sc, on FIRE, 1t
burns with remarkable splendour and
vthemenee, not only for hours, but
DAYS aud weeks in succession, mounting
to the height of ten or twelve feet or
more. The relator Of this, (Mr. Sena.
tor Breckenridge) was one Of a party that
encamped near this erial fountain, on an
excursion through the woods. They
discovered, that after the inaammahle
air had been on FIRE for six or eight hours,
the water of the pond was heated to IN
uncomfortable degree, and emitted eopi-
Gus exhalations and the ebullition at the
spot through whichthe air assembled was
more vehement.
1t was judged, that if the fame had
been sufficiently continued, the water
would have been made to boil, and all
have been evaporated.-Then the sur
rounding space would have been heated.
And lastly, there was reason to suppose
thatth faculent and carbonick matter in
the bottom Of the pond would haye been
put into state Of combustion. From the
crater at the place through which the gas
rose, and the evacuation ofthe surround.
ing ground, i. appeared as this had re.
ally happened on some former occasion
and for fear the like might occur again
the gentlemen ofthe party ex,iqguished
the fame, by slaPppg, agitating and
dissipariugit with green boughs, before
the water arose to temperature too hot
to enable them to approach near enough
for thispurpose by wadingintoi it. When
once in blaze, there seems to he no end
to its burning, but the stop which storm
Of wind and rain may put to it.
