Domestic Roving q Spinning
Z Machine.

THE subscribers have purchased tho patent right
of building, vending, and using the above ma
chine, in the counties of Newport and Bristol, r. J.
It's most important advantages and usefulness may
be stated in few words
FIrss-It possesses the principle of roping and
spinning the merino and other wool on the
chine with great exactness and remarkable facility
Secesd-h will spin the common wool directly from
the roll without ropng sufficiently fine for common
broadcloths.
Taird-It will spin cotton, when roped or properly
carded, as fine and even on the common wheel:
with equally increased. advantage.
Fourrh-lt is very convenient for doubling and
twisting threads, cotton or yarn of any description,
with astonishing expedition.
Fyih-Its operation is not half SO laborious as the
English Jenny. and it is easily managed by girls or
children, with immense profit.
Sirth-It will produce saving over the common
wheel of from 20 to 80 dollars in the manufacture OF
every hundred yards Of cloth.
Seuenfb-It supercedes the great expense of the
English machines. it performs the same opera
tiens Of the Billy and Jenny.
Let these facts be duly considered by caudd and
liberal minds, together with the vast saving of time,
labor trouble, and the expense OF board and wages
when person will perform the service OF five or
six in the usual method of spinning, and but few
will hesitate in procuring the Domestic Rover and
Spinner 1t will also give powerful spring to en-
tsrprize, and stimulate the female part of the CON-
munty vie with each other in habits of ndustryas
with Is or so spndles active girl will furnish yarn
sufficient to keep or 5 looms constantly in opera
tioa, and earn from 90 to 80 dollars per month.
Itmay bs observed that one of the above machmes
occupy but little more space than common bed, and
be removed with ease. Let every farmer encour.
age the growth ofsheep, and promote American man
uactures let the splendid habitation as well as the
humble cottage become little Factory; and in this
way our country will become truly INDEPENDENT. If
individuals able let neighborhoods join in the
purchase of machine, and the expense will be tri-
fling.
Ladies and Gentlemen are invited to call and ex-
anime for their own satiaactisn; and those who may
wish to purchase machines for the ensuing season,
are requested to make early application.
Satisfactory certificates may be seen, and every In
formation given, by application to the subscribers.
Good and warranted machines Of any number of
spindes required will be furnished on short notice,
and instruction given in spinning reasonable terms

breaking out of the present war, Gen. DEAR
BORN was again callcdto command, and a.

SONG.

Tune" st. Pafrick's Day In the Jhornng."
As old Queen Charlotte-a worthless old yaret,
Our brave naval forces was scornng,
She wishd to be merry, and called for some PERRy,
September the tenth in the morning,
When brisk PERRy came, she found him true game
To her cost tho he gave her warning.
SO let her be merry, and remember PERRY,
September the tenth in the msrning.
Il was on Lake Erie--whcn al hand, were chcary,
A fleet was deserted in tho morning,
Twas Queen Chaflottes feet, SO handsome and neat,
In bold line OF battle were forming;
But when evening came-tkough the fleet were the
same,
That our brave naval forces were scorning,
They were beat-so complete--that they yielded the
f.f fleet,
TO the one they despised in the morning.
Now let us remember the tenth Of September,
When Yankees gave Britons warning,
When our forces on Lake Erie, were beaten and
weary,
So full Of cDhceit in the morning;
To the skilful, and brave, who country did save
Our gratitude ought to be warning,
so let's be merry, in toasting of PERRy,
September the tenth in the morning.

PERRY'S VICTORY.

The more this victory is contemplated, the
moro the mind Is flied with astonishment and
admiration at the conduct of PERRy, whose
individual cxertions, coolness and bravery,
appear to have in great measure conducted
TO tho glorious result. Far be 1t from us to
derogatc in the least from the brave officers
and men who were in tho engagement with
him they all merit and receive the need of
praise but the extraordinary great conduct
and self-cOmmand displayed by PERRr, in
first fighting the whole squadron OF the enemy
with his single vessel until that vessel was
wreck, with not men left to man gun and
then deliberately to leave her, in charge of
trnsty officer, and go on board tho Niagara
and AGAIN contend sINoLY WITH THEIR
!. WHOLE SQUADRON until COMPLETE
VICTORY crowned him with triumph, is
an instance OF conduct SO singular, so praise
worthy, and showing in such a striking point
of view the GREAT COMMANDER, as
for while to fix our. admiration on him alone.
Tho modcsty SO conspicuous in his first
letter, appears throughout the whole detailed
account bestowing praise and communication
on all who mcritcd it, and speaking of his
own great actions with a degree Of diffidencc
bordering on indifference.
We cannot qui, this subject without noti-
cling the uniformly handsome manner in
which all the officers speak of the Commo-
dorc in their lettcrs-the greatest. proof that
can be given of his merit--thc testimony of
those who know him. Car. Go-.

RZTlLA7'ION!

On Thursday last, ten English prisoners
were selected from the Prison Ship in Salem,
and sent to Ipswich Stone Jail, TO be kept in
close confinement, as hostages in part for the
Sixteen unfortunate Americans confined in a
dungeon at Halifax. We also learn that a.
bout one hundred English seamen and SOL
diers are to be detained in retaliation for those
so unaccountably selected from the American
prisoners at Halifax, and sent to England.
This mode Of retaliating upon the enemy has
produced good effects upon former occasions,
and we trust that speedy release of our un-
fortunate countrymen so cruelty and unjussly
confined by the enemy, will be the imnedi-
ate result Of this spirited measure of our Go.
vernmc1t. Esser Register.
CAPTAIN ALLEN or THE ARGUS.
We are much grati6ed by seeing an ac-
count of the conduct of this gentleman, ,high-
ly honorable to the American character. AT.
ter the capture of an English vessel called
the Salamanca, he carried the crew into L'O-
rient, but he would not give them up as pris-
oners to the French--He afterwards took
vessel from Madeira bound to London, in
which there were some Lady passengers
this induced him to allow her to proceed, af-
ter putting on board her the crew of the Sa-
lamanca, and they soon after arrived safe at
Penzance--These acts of politcness and hu-
manity TO an enemy, should be mentioned and
recorded to the honor of the American navy
tho Boston factionists Notwithstanding.
The conduct of Commodore BAINBRIDGE
when he captured the Java, is another most
conspicuous instance of American gallantry
and generosity--yet, it was passed over in 81
lence by the English Journalists--nor had it
one solitary word of appreciation from our
grumbletonians at home. Bali. .dm.
