IHE subscribers officers Of the different
fire companies in Alexandria, having had a
better opportunity from their Official situa-
ton, of noticing several defects in the extin.
guishment OF the dreadful corfagra;ion on
Monday evening, have thought the present a
favorable moment for suggesting those Cor
receives which dear bought experience never
fails to exhibit to our view in the moments
OF adversely, but which are too often neglect
ed as useful monitors.
They Cannot bcstow too much praise upon
that portion Of their fellow townsmen. and
also several Strangers that were present. ioy
their undertaking exertions at the fire. and it
is With much reluctance that thev are com
PEELED to say they observed most shameful
inactivity in others. They had before SUP
posed it incredible that man could see his
peighbors property like to be enveloped in
flames, and remain an Indifferent spectator
of the scene, when lie must reflect that such
dreadful visitations are common TO all /: and
they would recommend it to such to remain
ont Of sisht-tor their example is productive
of the most baneful effects.
The officers noticed great want of buck
cts, & many OF those that were al the fire were
cut OF order; one side of the handles broken
OFF, some without. handles, and Others that
leaked SO much as to bring but little water
to the engine And they beg leave to. sug-
gest the propriety Of the citizens petitionine
Council to revive most salutary law which
has been suffered to expire, obiging every
house-keepcr to provide buckets and keep
them ia order, and either to throw them in
to the street or carry them to fire on the
first alarm, They also noticed so1ao of the
engines cLoaked in the pipe, by the shame
full neglect of the companies to work and in
spect them sufficiently often.
The citizens were thrown into considera-
bic confusion by persons belonging to no
fire company giving orders, at one time and
counteracting, those given by an officer at
another-silence should be observed as much
as possible--and as the lives of the citizens
VIII at all times be primary object with the
oitlcers, they should rely upon the assurance
OF an officer that there is no powder in
house, when he has taken means to ascertain
the TACT, and more especially when he vcri-
mes the truth Of the assertion by yenturing
himself.

We can hardly suppose itPossible that
ans man can be duped by the late news from
France, by the revocation of the Berlin and
Milan DEGREES. The emperor wants money.
His civil LIST and his army are supported at
suimmense expence: his revenue is made
Ouale. The sale of American property al
,.sdy in his possession, will afford him but
a,empoyary relief. No deception, no breach
Of faith, no mode of plumber and robbery,
viii Be omitted by him to replenish his cot
fers No one is more skilled than himself
IN the art of inveigIing property into his
possession. An open rupture, ayowed hos
tlitics, he shrewdly avoids. He knows the
certain injury, the casual aud unimportant
advantage. Some new mode of plunder
must be deyised. The Berlin and Milan
DEGREES are condisionally revoked. The
expected consequence IS tie glutting of his
market with our merchandise, till he shall
declare that we have not complied with the
conditions on which they were revoked,
which he certainly viii do, and seize all our
property that he can grasp in Frame and
ohtr places under his influence.
What are the conditions on which the
DEGREES are revoked ct being understood
that IN consequence Of this declaration the
Englsh shall revoke their orders in council
and renounce the new principles of block
ad' which they have attempted 10 establish"
NO" Bonaparte knows full well that tho
he English will rescind theiro,ders in coun-
GU they 7vW not renounce their blockading
system. The English writer's very correct.
Esay' that as Bouapartc's power over the
INHERENT nations of Europe enables him to
exclude the trade of the British wherever
nc pleass', thcy have right to retaliate by
lux pFepomaefarcy Of their power on the
O'sa0, aud declare IT. state Of blockade

f'"er has the right, but one has as good
. .'S@ as the other. 3onaparte's army is not
NS the ports from which the British trade

''S'ng every Place which they declare in
''a'e OF blockade. Hence, with respect
! "'s condition alone, Bonaparre knows
!, "'s VIII not be compliance; and Of course
: uecrees are not revoked, and viii so be
NJ. ''ed as soon as the most profitable mo-
~ small arrive for the declaration.
