Some OF the vessels sent for the above

II appears that the owners have been
more fortunate with the other prizes
taken by the above ship, several vessels
having arrived with valuable cargoes-
and the original packages had been SO al

One al the prizes Of the above vessel is

Spontaneous Inflammation. "A few days
past, one of the Wooden Manufactures
near Germantown, was set on fire by the
spontaneous inflammation of wool or flocks,
creased with linseed oil. 1t had been pre-
pared the day before fer a particular
purpose and although the quantity did not
exceed couple of pounds, by morning il
was completely on fire, and had communi
Gated to the building contiguous to it. BY
an experiment since made, it has been pro-
we'd that fire is produced from the same
mixture in about twelve hours. II has
long been known this effect has sometimes
resulted from vegetable substances wet
with linseed oil, but ii would now appear
that from its mixture with wool, or flocks,
the effect is even more certain, and it
should serve as caution to manusactur-
ers, who sometimes use flocks and linseed
oil about their engines.

HARE, THE MAIL RoBBER.

A good deal Of the southern papers are
occupied with extracts from Hare's dying
confession. The Washington Gazette III,
PRODUCES some passages with The following
preamble: SO The publisher states that
he has the MS. ia Hare's hand writing.
We have chosen such extracts as will
give the reader connected view Of the
principal robberies; the minor parts, with
the reflections of the culprit, are omitted,
on account Of their length. No person
10 this country, before the publication Of
this pamphlet could possibly have believed
that the u. States contained such an eX-
traordinary and daring bandit as Joseph
Hare is represented to be. If we are TO
give credit to this story (and there is but
too much reason to believe great portion
of it true) this hero Of the highway equals.
if not rivals, in Preparation Of daring ielo-
MES and atrocious exploits, the most noto
rious robbers that ever prowled the enyi
rons Of Etna Rinaldo Rinaldino OF
Charles de Moor were nothing 10 him
The only way to account for the possibil
ity Of Hare and his associates obtaining SC
much booty il gold and silver, is, the Gus
Tom that used to prevail of travellers from
New Orleans and elsewhere, transporting
through the wilderness (before bank notes
were in such general circulation) the pro
ceeds OF their merchandise 10 specie. The
total absence of dates, however, through
out the confession, throws a strong susPi
lcion on many circumstances, though VIVA
is related as having taken place in tiii
lneighbourhood carries with it some colo
lof probability"
| Hare, 10 his confession, states that h
had stolen horse from the Governor c
| New York-that he married in this city
took his wife in gig to Boston, and sool
LATER sent her home to her friends.
