Extract ofo letter from BordsntoUn, (N:.J)
communicated for the Baltimore .amsr'cdn,
dated Junury4 4.
cit is with the most sincere regret iniorm
you of the loss, by FIRE, of the Count de Sur
yillier's valuable house, at Point Breeze.
"This morning, between the hours OF ele-
ven and twelve, the FIRE was discovered. 1t
had taken place in small chamber in the
centre of the house, and communicated to
every part of the building in so short space
of time, that il was with the utmost exertions
of the inhabitants of Bordentown, that the
most valuable paintings and furniture were
saved. The short time allowed for removal,
and the immense strength Of the doors and
windows, prevented several gentlemen who
heroically attempted getting into chamber
which, unfortunately, was locked, and in
which some valuable paintings, books and
furniture were consumed. The want OF wa.
ter rendered it impossible TO arrest the pro-
gress Of the fire. The pumps, of which there
are great number, were all dry or frozen,
and the engines became useless. Water was
brought with greatlabor by number OF men
from the river, but il could not be procured
in sufficient quantities to do any good.
In the midst of this scene OF confusion
the Count arrived from journey-and his
calm and philosophic mind shone conspicu.
ously at this trying moment. He seemed to
feel, and certainly showed more sensiblIity
at the friendly efforts of his neighbors to
serve him, than for the loss Of his property.
=" A number of young gentlemen Of Bor-
densown, formed themselves into guard TO
watch the fire and protect the valuable arti-
cles which were unavoidably exposed; and
Joined by Captain IS company of vo-
lunteers, will parade round! the lawn and
avenues to the house al! night.
"The count has so endeared himself TO his
neighbors, by his unaffected kindness and Ii
berslity, that there was unanimous exertion
made to serve him-and we have only TO re-
greet that il was not more eifectual."

PIRATES IN TIE CHINA SEAS.


In the last accounts from India, received
by the way of England, we observe the loss
of two vessels taken by the pirates who in
fest several parts OF the caste m seas. The
barbarous cruelty of these savage marau-
ders, who, not satisfied with their booty,
frequently put to death the unfortunate vic
TINS who become their prey, should serve
as "a caution to vessels visiting these seas,
especially as the principal harbours resorted
to by the pirates lay very near the track
of vessels (out of season, hound.to Manila,
China, &c. We understand that the ship
Pacific, ColIinson, lately arrived from Can
ton, having been obliged in consequence OF
long passage down the pacific ocean, to
touch for the refreshments at the Island Of
Buero, Zone OF the Moluccas) was inform
ed by Dutch commandant at Cajela Bay
that he had lately been blockaded by fleet
of 80 small vessels from the island of Papau.
or New Guinea, which for the space OF Sc
ven months lay off the harbor and complete.
ly stopped his communication with Amboy-
ma, whence be usually received his supplies.
During this protracted blockade the crews
of the Papuan feet subsisted on Sage,
which they procured by landing on differ
ent parts of the island.
Not having been able to obtain any thing
there but wood and water, The Pacific put
into Delhi, a Portuguese settlement on the
island OF Timor, Upon landing here abort
the dusk of the evening, they were con-

,y,r. err OF A LETTER FROM OUR
CORRESPONDENT IN RICHMOND.


The only subject OF general character
.aat has yet employed the attention OF the
Legislature, is the report OF the committee
:, the case of Mr.. Jones Green. II has oc-
s,,nied the House Of Delegates for several
aays past, and has, assure you, ELECTED no
;nconsiderable degree of talent. A decision
was had on il ; and the report rejected oy
majority OF 90 votes so that the House have
now solemnly determined, for the third OF
nurts time, TO sustain the duelling law IN
is fullest ex,ent--and hope the question IS
at rest for ever.
On Monday, ii is probable, the discussion
will commence here, as well as IN Congress
on the subject of the Missouri question. lou
have no idea Of the feeling that prevails IN
relation to it-yirginia is reused, ana iooA
with awful ferebodings to the result oil her
deliberations. This, the bank resolutions
and the .'stay law" are probably the only
subjects OF general concern that Will occupy
The present legislature.
The following resolution, OF some imp0f-
lance 10 your section of the country, wasyes'
,erday introduced by Mr.. Fitzhugh' and a
dopted by the Senator
Rs,olpsd, That the board of public works
be, and they are hereby requested, 10 en-
suire into the expediency of directing their
principal engineer to examine the waters Oh
the Potomac, above the upper line oil the
District Ct Columbia, with view to ascer'
tain and eport upon the most e5ectuai means
Of improving the navigation of the same' ana
TO explore the country between the Potomac
and the Ohio on one side, and the Potomac
and Rappahannock on the other. with vie"
10 ascertain and report upon the practicaoi-
lily Of effecting communication, BY canais'
between the three rivers.
= The House Of Delegates have TO day
concurred in the resolution.
