FOR THE SPECTATOR.
Mn. PRINTER,

Mn. PRINTER,
AS this state, in my opinion, is placed
in very embarrassed situation, with re-
spect to at least one of the electors OF
president and vice president, the follow
ing queries cannot be amiss to those
concerned.
Is it constitutional for person holding
commission under the United States to
be an elector?
Can his resisning for day or two.
and not sending his resignation on to go
vernment, render him eligible?
If he is considered as having resigned,
who is TO do the official duties of his Office
while he is acting as elector?
Are not all, any wise concerned in the
land business, interested that the offices
of Receiver and Register should be con-
stantly filled by persons authorized to do
the business! Can this be the case when
a Register or Receiver Partially re-
signs +
Ifthey really resign, ought not the re-
signation to be previous to the election
But then, will they not be officers of
the United States, in fact, till their re-
signations are accepted by the President,
and successors appointed?
If any one of this description should
be an elector, would it not set aside the
whole votes of she state, as it would be
impossible, at Washington, to tell who
gave the unauthorized vote
What tribunal has the power of setting
aside an election of this descriptions
sitthe body of electors when met?-or
Is it the Legislature
If the latter, would it be proper for
them, Gas new election could not be
held in time,) to appoint one to fill his
place?
But, at any rate, ought not the candi-
date next highest in votes, to attend and
dispute the legality of his election9

SOUTH AMERICA.

BOSTON, OCTOBER II.
Arrived brig Three Sisters, Barnham,
81 days from Buenos Ayres, and Sc
from Pernambuco. Capt B. states that
every thing was quiet al Montevdeo, but
that every thing was in very unsettled
state at Buenos Ayres; many parties
existed, and each strived to gain the
ascendancy, which caused continued
commotion; that Artigas had been
missing for some time, but few days
before he sailed it was reported that he
was at the head of 1000 mo-, marching
against Buenos Ayres. Capt. B. has
favored me with Buenos Ayres papers
to August 10. They are principally
filled by variety of official papers, mos,
OF which relate to an action which was
fought on the Cd at San Nicho las de los
Aroyas, between the army OF Dorrcgo,
Governor of Santa Fe, and a division of
the CHILEAN army. The Bulletin No
IS, published at Buenos Ayres, Augua
4, containing dispatch from Dorrego,
says {" The whole division Of the Chi
lians, with their respective ornaments,
together with 200 militia, all the officers
except Alvear and Carers, the deputies,
S pieces of artillery and more than 5000
horse, are the fruit of brilliant action
of three hours, in which the enemy,
fortified in the town made dreadful re-
sistance."
Subsequent papers contain abundant
details of this action, and also a CORE
spondence relative to an armistice be-
tween Dorrego and Lopez, and cor
respondence between the Cabildo OF
Buenos Ayres, and Balcarce, who is
styled Deputy Governor. No very
satisfactory Information of the state OF
affairs can be drawn from the papers.

all The existing authority, and 10 pro-
claim a constitution absolutely foreign
to his country, and as yet untried even in
the country which gave it birth; in other
words, anarchy is law.
His majesty the Emperor is con-
vinced that this unexpected event will
have made the most lively impression
on all the German Courts. 1t teaches,
by memorable example, how dangerous
it is to contemplate with contemptuous
indifference the operations of secret as
sociations, and of conspiracies skulking
in the dark, and how wisely the German
Princes have acted in opposing vigilance
and vigor to the first symptoms OF those
dangerous attempts.
PortugaL-The latest accounts from
Portugal are contained in the Morning
Chronicle ofthe I'd. This paper says
"As some contradiction has prevailed
in the statements received from Portugal
regarding Count Anarante, we think it
proper to state, that private letter,
dated Oporto, l3th September, mentions
that the troops and province he COM
manded had enthusiastically joined the
patriotic cause, but he himself had fed
away. On the 9th, seeing it impossible
to withstand the force ofpublic opinion,
the Count ordered meeting of the in
t.abitants for the following day, in order
to take the new oaths; but in the night
he fled away with one servant, passed
through MORN, and, it is added, he had
already arrived at Corunna.
The East India Company's Cruiser
Ariel, has been lost, and seventy-seUen
of the crew persisted.
The following is the concluding pas
sage of Mr.. Brougham's opening speech,
in defence of the Queen:
"My Lords, implore and entreat you
to pause before you pronounce your best
judgment on the evidence that has been
produced. Ifyou do not, it will be the
only judgment that will fail of producing
the intended effect, and return upon
yourselves. Rescue your country from
the impending danger. Rescue the
throne from the jeopardy in which il is
at present placed. Rescue the church
from the ruin that threatens it. Rescue
the aristocracy of England from the ex-
ecrations of that people, separated from
whom Won can no more escape, than the
blossom torn from the stem. The King
and the Church have been pleased 10
exclude the Queen from thu prayers of
the nation; but the prayers of her peo-
pie have been doubled and redoubled,
and never shall cease to implore Of the
Throne of Mercy to shower down the
treasure of its mercy on that generous
people which the conduct of their rulers
does not deserve"

SIR--Your addressing me on sub
ject so deeply interesting to every citizen
as the removal of that insalubrity which
TOO generally prevails, not only in this
state, but in all new countries, in those
situations which have been unfortunately
chosen for the earliest settlements, re-
quires no apology; on the contrary l
beg to return my thanks for your COM
munication, al,hough-I differ from YOU
in opinion as to the effect of the regula-
ton you propose.
Drawing off the water from the mill
dams SO as to expose the empty channels
to the sun, during the months of July,
August, and September, would increase
the evil.
Pestilent eihuvia arise not so much
from water, as from the muddy surface
whence water has lately receded; and
therefore the driest summers are gene
rally the most unhealthy, and the au-
tumn is always the sickliest season.. the
largest portion Of land subject to mum
dation being then exposed to the suns
rays.
Stagnant pools when they become Of
fensiye from the decomposition of vege-
table and animal matter, are doubtless
extremely noxious; but the surface they
have occupied is still more so as the wa
ter dries up, and, if suddenly Withdrawn,
in hot season, the consequences are
dreadful In Columbia county, state OF

MFTHODISTS.

A scism of considerable extent APP
pears to have taken place among the
Methodists in the northern counties, as
we'll as in the south, owing principally
to the follies of some oftheir preachers,
in interfering with the political opinions
of the people. This began about the
latter end of last year, when their COM
mittee of privileges in London, in con-
cert with his majesty's government, is
sued circulars to the different preachers
in the connexion, in all parts of the coun-
try, to discoentenancea amongst their peo-
pie all those who might be attached to
political reforu- Immediately the Me-
thodist pulpits 'every where resounded
with murderous doctrines of passive
obedience and non-reslstance, those doc
trines which in England brought one ty-
rant to the block, and obliged another to
abdicate the throne. In consequence Of
which, added to the tyranny of the
preachers and their exhorbitant exactions
from the people, few of whom are opu-
lent, great numbers have separated from
the body, and formed new community,
under the denomination o." Indepen-
dent Methodists )" maintaining the same
discipline, but differing in church 60
vernment as their preachers, like the
primitive teachers of christianity, claim
no pecuniary reward for their labors.
In Shields, Newcastle, and their vicini-
ties, they are rapidly increasing, and
have already fourteen chapels and places
ofpublic worship, which are supplied by
81 preachers. Durham Chronicle.

LONDON. OCTOBER 9,

Itappears by letters from Malta, which
we have inspected, that the British mer-
chants in Sicily continued to be greatly
apprehensive for the safety of their per-
sons and their property, and had applied
to the government at Malta for British
ships to protect them. The following
is an extract from one of them:
Malta, August 81.
CAT present all is anarchy and con-
fusion in Sicily-moveable property is
considered to be very unsafe by British
merchants, who write in great alarm, and
applications have been made to the gov
eminent of this island for vessels of war
to anchor off Palermo and Messina, to
afford protection in case of need.-
Several individuals have embarked their
property in ships along the coast. l
still hope that the Sicilians will succeed
in their struggle for liberty"

Paris Journals of Thursday and Friday.

ton of the liberal Journals, stop the

York. a case occurred illustrative
of this fact. 1t is recorded in the Medis
cal Repository of New-York, vol. 6,p.e.
A mound was raised near Undertook to
confine stream issuing from several
small lakes, for the purpose OF supply
ing the machinery of an Iron forge. From
this embankmcnt the water having been
allowed to escape, and the empty dam
being, in consequence, exposed to the
burning sun, the neighborhood, to the
distance of two miles in every direction,
was afflicted by malignant bilious fever,
which carried off forty or fifty persons.
This occurred in district remarkable
for its salubrity.
The misery occasioned by mill-dams
will, one day, outweigh in The public
mind all minor considerations, as it ought
to do at this moment. After the removal
ofthese nuisances the course of improve.
ment will be very easy and simple.
|. To prevent Judgments of water in
rivers or creeks, by deepening the shall
lows, and cutting off sudden bends
Thus also floods will be less frequent,
less extensive, and of shorter duration.
2. To open and lower the outlets Of
ponds and swamps; by which the mum
dation of large tracts may be prevented
at trifling expense; so much easier 1t
is to remove dam than to raise one.
8. To intercept by bitches the over.
flowings of the highlands in the rainy
season before they spread over and soak
through the lower levels.
This improvement when understood
will keep pace with cultivation. The
necessary fences, if judiciousy directed,
will be all that is needful for the purpose
of drainage.
The two former objects will fall ma
turally under the care of county COM
missioners, who should beprovided with
funds by small tax for this especial
purpose-a tax which will be paid with
cheerfuness by every man possessing
grain Of true patriotism.
In compliance with your wish that 7
would give my sentiments to the public,
l am quite willing that you should hand
this to the Illinois Intelligencer.

Great Fire at New Hapen.-W have
this day to record another to the cata-
logue of fires which, have occurred re-
Gently in the United States. The city
of New Haven has been afflicted with
the most destructive fire ever known in
that place. About | ! O'Clock on Thurs
day night, fire broke out in one Of the
stores on Long Wharf, said to have COM
municated from stove in chamber !;
and we are informed by Captain Bunker,
Of the steam boat Connecticut, that TWEEN
ry-seven buildings in front, and seven in
the rear, were destroyed. The Captain
states, that the goods saved from the fire
we're lost by being thrown off the dock.
The wind was high, and the flames
spread with great rapitlity. The burn
ing fakes were blown over to East Ha-
zen, and for some time it was feared that
the fire would communicate to the build
1gs on that side.
Sincet the above was prepared, we have
been favored with an extract of letter
from New Haven, to a gentleman in this
city, dated yesterday, which says Last
night we had the greatest fire ever known
in New-Haven. About three-fourths OF
the buildings and goods on the wharf, arc
destroyed. The fire began near the head
of the wharf, in the store next south o.!
J. N. Clark's, and swept every thing
down to the long range inclusive. Ii
broke out little before midnight, and
no efforts availed to stop its progress
until store, next south of the long
range was pulled down. The whole
loss is estimated by judicious people at
about one hundred thousand dollars, but
a small part of which was insured"

Take common glass tumbler--by
means of sealing wax, attach it to cir
cular piece of wood, with groove in it,
and cylindrical stick about three inches
long, fastened to the centre of the bot
tom Of the same piece of wood. Make
a circular board of 8 inches diameter,
with groove and stick as aforesaid, and
on the uppermost side, a stick for ham
die to turn it. To support the whole,
have plank of 2 feet long, Is inches
wide. In this plank have auger holes Of
suitable dimensions, and distances apart
for the aforesaid stick. A cord must
then be adapted to the cylindrical piece
of wood and board aforesaid, so as to
cause the former to revolve in proper
tomato frequency to the latter.
An upright, with horizontal piece OF
wood to the end of this, two depending
sticks with rubbers (stuffed and coated
in the usual manner) so as to touch the
external and internal surface Of the glass;,
opposite to each other. A conductor
and Leyden Phial will complete the
whole. This machine may cost s $50.
