LAUNCH OF THE OHIO.


At an early hour this morning the ferry
boats were engaged in conveying passen-
gers to the Long-Island shore by 10
O'Clock some thousands had crossed.
Between 10 and II o'clock, the east river
presented an interesting sight--it was al
most literally covered with pleasure boats
approaching the Navy ard. At the app
pointed hour, the signal was given, and
the ship gIided majestically from the stocks
into her destined element. AT this moment
the air resounded with shouts Of applause
from the surrounding spectators. The
Washington IA, and Hornet sloop OF war,
fired national salute, which was imme.
diately answered by battalion Of artillery
from the 9th regiment, under the command
of Col. Muir, stationed at Corlear's-
Hook. The ONO is considered by COM
petent judges, TO be superior to any vessel
Of her class. Her dimensions are stated
to be SO feet in length, and Of $500 tons
burthen. 1t is supposed that not less than
one hundred Thousand persons witnessed
this interesting sight; and, We are happy
to state, that, although the crowd on the
margin Of the river was great, aud COO.
siderable anxiety manifested TO get the
most eligible place. no accident occurred

LONDON, DEC. Q.
TIE xotorioUa Co56ett.-We had lust
room to mention, yesterday, that this
manifold apostate was prevented from
entering Manchester at the head of tu-
multuous rabble, by the hrmness of the
magistracy of that town. The following
letter, from our correspondent, relates
what took place subsequently,:
Manchester, Nov. so.
You will find by the enclosed letter
from the Boroughreeves and Constables
of Manchester and Stafford, published by
Goblet, that in my communication Of
lastpisht, was right with reference to
the report of those gentlemen having
addressed TO himself letter, and also
that his Journey further than 1rlam to-
wards this town, was prevented in con-
sequence.
At the foot of this letter, Goblet pub
fishes (what he calls) his answer; but it
may l.. proper to observe, that the an
swer vas never communicated to TIC
gentlemen to whom it was addressed,
otherwise than by being posted UP in the
streets. 1t may also be proper 70 OBJ
serve that the gentlemen now in Office,
were not so on the 18th Ct August last,
and that therefore the Introductory part,
which evidently ailudes to that day, is
completely misplaced.
The Address, also enclosed, which is
dated from Jrlan,, has been this day very
extensively circulated from the Observer
Office. The paragraph descriptive of
the mode pursued by the Whale Fishers
contains language which cannot be mis-
understood,

Destruction of a Village. - The village
of S.rcw, in Bohemia. not far from the
town Of Sanz, has suffered very severely
by the sinking of a mountain. In the
night Of the 18th of March part of the
chain of mountains, extending from that
town to the banks of the river Eyer, and
upon which the village of Strow was built,
detached itself from the mass. OF three
and twenty homses and two churches. six
teen have been overihrown and are in ru-
ms. According to the account given by
the inhabitants, they beard not very
violent noise on the goth Of March, about
midnight, at which time probably part
Of the mountain gave way; and on the
2lst, towards ten o'clock in the evening,
the walls Of farm house, and afterwards
the very solid parsonage house, fell down !;
before twelve hours had elapsed, most Of
the buildings, including the two churches,
were heap OF rubbish. Many Of the
houses were carried forward two hundred
PAGES from the places where they stood.
and the ruins are for the most part covered
above a fathom deep with earth. Of the
seven buildings still left, one has already
half fallen down, and the others will hard
ly be able 10 escape destruction, as II is
feared that still greater part OF the
mountain will loosen. That which has
already taken place proceeded very irreg-
ularly, SO that the buildings sometimes
advanced 10 PAGES in an hour, aud some
times 20. No lives were lost on this oc-
Casion. This accident appears to have
been prepared by the wet seasons which
preceded the present, aud TO have been
principally ca;;se;! BY The heavy snow Of
this winter. The spot over which the
motion extended, presents the appearance
Of flakes Of ice piled one over the other;
and it is even feared that the river Eyer
will be partly, if not totally filled up, as
the masses Of earth have already advanced
to its banks.

Desperate Combat ninth Bsar.--A per.
son who superinteuds MI. Gasion's plan
tation near Newbern, was standing 10 the
mill, and discovered large Bear on The
edge Of the swamp, about fifty yards dis.
tant. He discharged his gun, loaded with
buck slIot, and b iieyed he had wounded
the animal SO much that he might safely
approach him, which he no sooner at
tempted, than the Bear advanced upon
him. The negroes who were al some dis
lance, hallooed to the overseer, and told
him to run; but believing that he could
defend himself with his gun dubbed, he
held il 10 that position, and retreated will,
his face to his adversary. intending TO
watch the moment Of his near approach,
70 give the coup de grace. Just as he was
about to do this, his foot slipped, and he
fell on his back, and, 10 an instant, The
enraged animal sprung upon him, and tore
him III a dreadful manner. Several per.
sons who were 10 the mill ran to the sid
OF the overseer, some with guns, Others
With clubs. but they were unable 10 dis.
engage The deadly grippe Of the Bear, until
one with an axe broke his jaw. The
overseer was brought over 10 Newbern.
and for Two days his life was despaired
Of; We have not since heard what is bis

From the Bellefonfe Patriot.

A Cnrions Facf.-A large black snake
was killed near this town, which measured
elepen feet nine inches. 1t was first no.
ticed by Sigh. crack which it made
with its tail, not unlike the cracking Of a
horse whip, and appeared to be 10 great
agony; jumping up from the GROUND,
twisting, coiling, &c. After it was killed
this was accounted for satisfactorily. Out
of its mouth the tail Of another snake was
observed to be sticking on pulling it out,
il actually measured fire feet three inches.
This was the cause Of the uneasiness in
the living snake; having no doubt been
partly stransled by its large mouthfuI.
This great snake was long the terror Of
the COW hHnters in the neighborhood Of
the place where il was killed, and no
doubt would have continued SO for length
Of time, had it not been for its voracious-
ness, which prevented it from running. 1t
was fleeter than any horse; aud bid def
ance to the puny efforts of man to over
take il.

highDess,) 10 order to ascertain whether
that body would receive commissioners
TO treat upon cessation of hostilities, &c.
until the Cortes OF Spain should assemble
10 deliberate on the affairs oil Spanish A.
merica. The decree Of the Congress IN
reply to Morillo's communication was 10
snbstance-.s that ii would receive any
propositions the Spanish government might
make to il, having for their basis the sove-
feignty and independence OF the republic
&c Columbia, and that it would not receive
any proposal which should deviate from
those principles so often proclaimed by
the government and people OF that repub-
iic."
