From TIKI AURORA.

| In no one action fought during the pre-
sent war, has there been more courage
and gallantry displayed than in the attac k
made by the privateer Rolla, Of Baltimore
on the British ship Rio Nueya, and as no
account has been published of the action, |
herewith send you statement of it, which
reflects so much credit on the conduct =.
captain Dpoley, his officers and men.
The Rolla originally carried four twelve
pound carronades in her waist, and one
double fortified twelve mounted on nj.
vot--In gale Of wind off Madeira, the
four ~ pounders'wsre obliged to be thrown
overheard, and only ore gun renamed.
with this, however on the 14th December
the Rnlla attacked the Rio Nueva mount
ing g gus, and 80 men. and took her after
an action of twenty FIVE minutes.
IT is true, there occurred, very fortunate.
ly during the action, no casualtiss-but the
men on board the KoIla, animated by the
courage and conduct of captain Dooley and
his officers, evinccd a fixed termination to
take the enemy or pefish--one Of the men

Although many members had attended to the

many members who had not paid the Same atten.

Lord Castlereagh said, that no time would be lost
IN printing those papers, and distributing them to
the members, as it was his intention. very soon af-
ter the recess, to call the attention of the House to
them, and take the opinion of Parliament upon
them. Some OF those documents-the Presidents

to doubt the authenticity of the report OF it, which
every body had seen. Among tho-e doeum ents,

IMPORTANT INVENTION.
Boston, FEB. 4.

We understand that Mr.. JoHN BEATH.
an ingenious mechanic Of this town, has in
vented new weapon of warfare, which in
che presen, state of our country, promises
to be of great public utility--it is called
the SPRING ROCKET, and is intended
principally to fire shipping. Viewed in this
light, the Spring Rocket is supposed TO be
far superior to the Congreve Rocket so &C.
lebratcd in the European world-the latter
will pa through the rigging of vessel
without material injury, while the former
will fasten itself so effectually by the springs
attached to it, that nothing but miracle
could save the vessel from destructon.--
We understand he can make them range
from one to three thousand yards, and with
little variation they may be made equally
as destructive on the land, as they are con-
templated to be on the water. From the
acknowledged ingenuity of the inventor, we
fee! persuaded many Improvement. will be
made, such as will give them importance
on board all our national vessels, and in all
our forts, and az such will eDtitle him to
the gratitude, countenance and support of
his country. GaE.
