We learn from captain Carroway, OF the

British lrigate (believed La Pique3 arrived
at .lguadilla on the 18th June, for the pur-
pose, as supposed, Of examining the har-
boss and ports of Porto Rico, having previ-
ously looked carefully into all the ports,

been recently levied on the inhabitants OF
Porto Rico, for the purpose Of putting the
Notifications at the west end Of the island

The new article called by the above

to fully express in Greek. its quality OF
presenting 10 the eye beautiful Ot;scts-is so
much in demand, that the manufacturer Of
them here is scarcely able TO answer the
calls for them. Though extremely simple,
il affords more qualification for the price
than any thing o. the kind ever before Of
fered to the public. Ii is metallic tube,
containing in an enclosure at one end seve-
raj fragments of colored glass, and other
shining substances Of various tints. These
fragments are seen from small aperture
at the other end Of the lube, through ;Ho
plate glasses so fixed as 10 form an angle
of e2E degrees of each other. By turning
the tube the shining fragments which are
loose fall in various directions, presenting
as rapidly as you please, succession OF
the most beautiful forms, in all colors OF the
rainbow. Wehave no doubt alter several
experiments, tha, many thousand figures
might be produced in one of these appa-
rently magical tubes, without the repetition
of one of Them. The invention, which has

"rHrRE's NOTHING TRUE BUT HEAVEN.
When yon bright orb beneath the west,
Descends in shades Of even;
When all is hushfd in peaceful rest,
The soul aspires TO regions blest-
It finds repose in Heaven.
IT'S then ali feeting joys below,
Awhile TO mortals given,
Seems but the pagent OF show,
The veil that hides latent wo--
ind false! compared with Heaven.
IT'S then all cares, and sorrows here,
BY which frail man is driven,
As ey, .iug shadows disappear,
And all within is calm and clear,
Humid with rays from Heaven.
Freed from this earth my soulwould share
The Joys to angels given;
IN bright celestial mansions where
Biest virtue beams dirire!y fair

Monday last was probably the warmest
day ever experienced at this place. The
mercury in Fahrenheit's thermometer stood
at SO deg. from till P. NJ. in the shade,
where there was every advantage of a free
circulation OF air. The same thermometer,
placed in the sun, arose at 4 P. Il. 10 1856
deg. The nearest approach to this eleva-
ted temperature which has been noted here,
was June 10th, 1918, when the same in
stIument indicated 81 degrees.

A USEFUL HINT TO THOSE WHO BURN FUEL.
A thousand degrees of heat is necessary,
according to Watts, 10 convert water into
vapor, which is no hotter than the boiling
water itself. Hence it is evident, tnat
1000 degrees OF heat or caloric is lost in
converting the moisture OF green and wet
wood into steam, and 10000 gained by
the burning of dry feel.
This is worth dollars to those whc pre-

THE ST0RMING OF PENSACOLA.
On this subject the Quebec Gazette Of
the e9th ofJune, offers the following angry
remarks -" A few months will show to
what length the government ofthe United
States may go in America, without exciting
the jealousy and resistance OF the European
governments. II seems 10 US that the seiz-
ure of Amelia Island, is a parallel, on A
smaller theatre, TO the entry OF Bonaparte's
troops into Spain, under the pretence OF
intestine divisions. The seizure on neu-
trail territory, and executions Of Arblrth-
not and Ambriste, is fully as uniustifable
as the seizure and execution OF the duke OF
Enghein; and the storminy OF Pensacola,
is at leas, equally as atrocious as the mas
sacres OF Madrid"
