!, Strong symptoms of the circumscript'ou oil the
British empire in the East have been manifested
by that very power which produced its extension ;
We mean the military power IN the English East
1sdia settlements. n revolutionary spirit was
enGendercd among the officers OF the East India
Sompany's troops early as theyear l'9S, and
, discovery of some plans and the manly and Dig
ptied manner in which the Inherent rights osfree-
men were supported in the Indian World" at
Calcutta, sent its Editor (the present Editor of
the Aurora) n state prisoner to England, and pro-
duced the discharge of many OF the company's
officers, from the service, whose places II was
judged proper to supply with officers * troops
acting under the immediate orders OF the crown.
This spirit has been smothered for some years,
but If we may Judge from Bengal, the flame will:
burst forth with renovated brightness and pos
sibly end in the extinction the British Empire in
the East. These possessions since the loss OF the
American colonies have been considered rs the
brightest gem in the English diadem, aud of such
consequence were they considered, that at one
period when the English court dreaded revo-
preparations &c remove the seat of Empire IL.
by the court of Lisbon in t,,eir removal to the
Brazils The plan which was formerly in con-
temptation, the establishment on the ruins
OF the English power in India, of government
founded principles similar to those of the u.
nited States. The extent of the present revolt.
tionary spirit of the soldiery and the fears which
they have excited in the government, may be
judged OF from the official procionations and
manifestos of the government itse!:, and The re-
cent int ugence from that quarter.

generous effects of that clemcncy, which
knows how to pardon weakness and ergor,
but which Furnishes crime.
His serene hghness has ordered that the
body Of the 9Th regiment rejoin the true

below upon the coast should be sent to the
capital to take rank in the army. Among
the troops, wko have laid down their arms,

- :
About IS years ago two men in the
town of Monkten in this state were dig
ging for iron ore, and about four feee from
the surface of the ground, came toa white
substance, which from its resemblance TO
white lead they supposed would make put
ty. They accordingly made sylai OF it. and
found it to answer their best wishes. they
afterwards penetrated the bed about rs
feet, aud observed the material toe grow
more pure, the farther they went down.
Considerable quantities of putty have since
been made and carried abroad tor sale, and
by those who have used it, 1t is preferred
to any other. A house ia Vergenaes was
also painted with it, about l6 years since,
aud still exhibits hard coat, lmpcrvious- TO
the weather. Owing to the narrow cream
stances OF the then owners, and she doubts
and scyupies OF people about letting Ger
talnty>go for an uncertainty, as they called
it, this material was rather talked OF as va.
luabie than put to the test OF experiment,
though il was sglll used la towns IN the vi
cinily OF the bed and it was Dot tall llttie
more than 8 year ago, that any adequate
ideas were entertained as 20 the real pro.
pestles and value OF the = putty stuff" as it
was called. The friends 10 American ma

so long neglected material is now ascertain

and that a company is now forming, win a
view OF manufacturing into Crockery aud
China ware y very excellent kind of
stone ware is already made, by mixing it
with certain proportion of common blue
CLAY.
This clay is found on the eastern side of
a hill rising in an angle of about 40 deg.
aud is deposited in a strata having yaria-
bic number of degrees of northern depres-
sion and the strata is intcrsected by veins Of
pure flint sand valuable in the manufacture
of aint glass flint seones are also frequent
ly found. The soil over the bed is general
~ loose meagre earth, free froo1 lodges !;
and from the examinations which have been
made, the bed may be SAID to be nearly in,
exhaus, ibe.

portion of oxyd Of iron, though scarcely
p-reeatihla When Submitted to a s,rong
heat, it forms into solid porcelanous
mass, without fusion, aud retains its white
ness.

found that mixed in equal paris, it even
improves the whiteness of white lead, and
adds greatly to its power of resisting'the
