TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.
Having perceived few days ago in your
paper, some observations relative to the bur-
ming of Candles from which conclusion WAS
drawn, that, of all the different sizes, skies
burn the longest, and of course, are the most
economical determined to ascertain what
was the difference, as 10 the time required
for the exRenditure, of the skies made in Con-
necticutl f-tb&e of New York. For this
purpose< &c sokle made in Hartford and "a
mother Nasfe imthis city, were lighted at the
same time, and placed so as to be entirely
out of the way of any draught of air; neither
were snuied from the commencement of the
burning, and every thing was attended to, in
order to make the chance as equal as possi-
bic. The result was as follows-the n. York
candle burnt sizc hours and forty-seven min
utes; that of Hartford, seven hours seven
teen minutes making difference in favor
of the latter, of one half an hour in each Can
die, or Of three hours in every pound
Our Tallaw Chambers, perhaps, can best
explain the cause ofthis difference, and what
ever it be. their interest as well as their re-
putation, require that it be carefully looked
to.

opportunity Of giving you information OF
passing events in this quarter OF the
globe; although cannot perhaps, COM
municate much which will be worth at
tention, or which you will not have re-
ceiyed from ether sources. Times are
growing daily more alarming on the Eu-
ropean continent, and the influence oil its
i" scourge" is increasing. This port IS
only open to vessels in ballast !; and those
cargoes which arrived here the last year
are principally in warehouses, although
the government permits their transpor-
tation. Produce is worth nothing, that
is to say, articles have a nominal price,
but nothing can be obtained Tor them
The Danes continue to capture every ves-
sci they fall in with and it matters not
what may be the colour OF the flag, where
from or where bound! When will our
government duly notice these unlimited
insults? Insults openly perpetrated, be-
cause sanctioned by Bonaparte.
Twenty-eight French priyateecs are
said to have lately passed through the

Dover. July 9.
Yesterday evening, a ship from Lima,
ia South America, under convoy Of one
of our sloops Of war, which escorted her
the whole of the passage. came into the
roads, and landed four passengers, said to
be the deputy of the viceroy Of that place,
with his secretary and two attendants,
sent on some very particular mission to
their ambassador. The Spanish ship is
said to have OH board four millions Of
money. and the sloep Of war great deal
of very valuable property. They report
that the Peruvians, on finding that the
above property was coming to England.
became very tumultuous, but were at
length Quoted without any serious conse-
quences. The above gentlemen are still
at the Spit Inn: two of them are dressed
in military uniforms, blue turned up with
red.
According to late adyices from Surat,
a revolution is said to have taken place
in the principally of Clutch, which lies
between Guzerat and the Indus. Our in
formation ON the subject is not very full
or authentic. But, from what we can
learn it would appear. that the Raja Of
that country, having fallen into maIady
which bereft him of his faculties. was de-
throned and imprisoned by the chief com
mander of his own forces, man named
Futteh Mohmood, who put to death the
Raiah's brother, and assumed the soyer-
eighty. The usurper was supported by
the neighboring Rajah of Scind. His au
thority, however, was still resisted by the
tributary cllieftain Of MIandiyi, between
whose troops and the Clutch forces fire.
nueut skirmishes occurred.
