ssAGAc1TY OF RATS.

CAPTAIN A ------ tis.---, of fPniisdelphia,
several years since having in the same
vessel made number OF voyages tn the
West Indies, and being greatly troubled
with the vast number Of rats which he
had on board. resolved on ado pting some
method to get rid of those troublesome
adventarefs. The hnte was ordered to
draw the vessel off at little distance
from the wharf, extending plank from
the extreme end of the wharf or to the
ganwhale OF the vessel, then with some
combustibies to make as large a smoke
as possible In the hold OF the vessel; tins
method of proceeding produced the de-
+ sired effect the rats in great numbers
leaving the hold OF the vessel weutoT by
the plank 10 store on the wharf: among
the number that lett the vessel there
was one who from his appearance had,
it is most likely, arrived at very
great age, he being blind as the byestan.
ders Judged, with both his eyes, his
hair on almost every part OF him having
turned white this venerable re-. teld
across his mouth stick about s inches
long. two other rats, one at each end OF
the stick, led him out with the most at
tentiye circumspection very slowly from
the vessel on TO the wharf, and from
thence under the stsre; the people pre-
sent (there being number OF gentlemen
who saw iJ were struck with amaze
ment at beholding ttis singular respect
shown by these brute animals to their
dccrepid ancestor, which was not ex-
cecdcd by the famed Eneas of old

THE NEWS FROM THE SEAT OF wAR.
Tie article below, from the BoHnloe
Gazette settles the point, as respects the
battle iD which Generals Wlhder and
Chandler we're made prisoners. Alter
the bal,ie, the account states, that our
troops fell back :. on their former posi-.
ton at Fort George" The account
which follows, and whjchis related very
particularly, ia the extract OF letter
forwarded from our correspondent al
Albany, does not appear to bear such
sharks Of authenticity as we could wl2h.
The mail left Utica onWedne sday morn
ing and brings not one word on the sub
ject of general Lewis's victory. The
letter which contains the account IS dat
ed at the Little Falls (22 miles this side
of Utica) on Tdesday How couid the
ne get to the Little Falls before 1t had
arrived at Utica
News Of such importance is never
SLOW in moving; if such an event had
taken place on the 9th or 10th OF the
month, when it must have taken place
if ever, some authentic account would
have reached Albany blythe l7ih.

with file of Cadiz papers to the 3oth

following translation from the Valencia
Gazette Extraordinary, April Is, of the Of

Chef, by gen. sir John Murray
Then follows an excellent translation of
dispatch from gen. Clio to the capt. gen.
of Valencia. dated from his H. O. at Petrol
the 18th April and giving the events of
'ne nth, 18th and 18th, on all which days
there were contests between the French ar
my, under Suchet, and the allied army, I'M
der generals Murray, Miyans and With
ingham. On the It'll and 10th the French
advanced; but OF the 18th, near Castella.
after receiving an attack, the allies eharc-
ed the French column, dispersed them, and
killed and wounded several thousand which
composed his advance. Sachet then COM
menced his retreat, when a corps of re-
serve, led by gen. Murray, and CONSISTING
OF battahons, 800 horse, and 70 pieces,
pursued, and made terrible havoc in the
enemy's beaten and fatigued columns.
Zen. Elio says, the enemy nave lost
more than 5000 men, IN no, sc anu loot.
Another account in the Cadig paper.
say, that Suchet had 1900 men in the
above action--that ne lost 5OOo--and that
no prisoners were taken, as no quarters
we're given. The Spanish papers say that
the defeat of Suchet will entirely free the
provinces Of Valencia and Murcia from the
French.
" Various articles in tie Cadiz papers,
from Madrid, and its vicinity. say, that the
French were on the retreat from the city !;
all their infantry having left it, leaving
there only small body of cavalry to keep
possession OF the city and that it would
be totally evacuated by the 22d or esd of
April.
" Capt. Cranston informs, that an expe-
dltion, with $4,000 Spanish troops, destin.
ed Tor South America, under convoy of two
74's and two frigates, were ready for sea at
Cadiz. A number of American ships had
