By the arrival Of the British sloop OF war;

ed from the liberating army under Gen San
Martin, consisting OF 5000 troops. They
had retired from their advanced position to-

Wacho. This movement was in conse-
ouence of the unheaIthness of the situation
they had occupied and the tedious progress
ofsome negotiations which were then going
on between the belligerents. Lord Cochran
was still carrying on the blockade of CalIoa
and had taken and ordered for Valparaiso
several American and British vessels for adj
indication. These were principally cleared
after ruinous detention, and the expense.
of law suit. The affair of the Spanish
frigate by Lord Cochran in person. was de-

Roy were reputed to be much dispirited
and several desertions OF officers OF rank
aud whole companies had lately taken place
TO the Patriots. Ii was then the impression
m Chill, that Lima would fall, before lh

was the opinion OF those in the country
whose feelings and interests were neithe
concerned in it and whose means ofjudginl
were the best.

THE AMERICAN sEERsUcKER.
The ingenuity which our manufacturers
evince in the imitation of foreign fabrlcks'
is highly praiseworthy. Several OF them
have succeeded in an imitation complete
as to colours and figure) of the India
.Sssrsucker, now much worn for Panta-
looms. The American fabrick is entirely,
of Cotton, of the best staple, heavy ana
of bright and durable colour; It's soia
at from % to lS3 cents the yard, by retail.
The price of the Indian fabrick is 70
The American is much the most durable
OF the two; and though it is only wide,
cuts to so much better advantage than the
India, which is 4 wide, that no more
than the same length "a yards is re-
quired. [Prouidemce Man. journal.

MIpDLEsEX SESSIONS.

James Allan, Jew, was indicted for a
conspiracy to defraud John Pritchard, a
barber, at No 10, Burleigh-street, Strand.
1t appeared, that whilst the barber was
shaving pretended footman, who had a
bundle with him containing 3 old coats,
the Jew came in and pressed the footman
to take a. for the coats, saying that was
within SIS. of al he had asked" To which
the footman replied, that " he would have
nothing to do with him, for id Jew
rascal as he was, he wanted to take him
in. and be id to him" The Jew then
calling the barber aside ss lh. Nj Ia You You
want money?' pulling bank notes out of
his pocket 81 keep shop in Holywell
street and will return in five minutes and
take the coats off your hands" Upon this
the barber gave all the money he had a.
bout him (4t. Ss.) to the footman, who
promised to return for the balance. But
he heard no more of the Jew or footman
and the coats were found not to be worth
los. each There were five other indict-
ments against him for similar offences
but In consequence of his conviction upon
this 1T was thought unnecessary to bro
coed with the rest. He was sentenced TO
IL months Imprisonment in the House of
Correction, and at the end of that period
to enter into recognizances for his good
behaviour:

| A discovery, of a singular nature. ha 8
recently been made, and which may we'll
engage the speculations and researches of
scientific men. The fact itself is all we
can at present pretend to state; and the
correctness OF this any of our readers may
have an opportunity of testing by actual
experiment. To make this experiment
nve persons are required. Let one of
these lay down flat on his back, and bv
bracing his muscles let him stiffen himself
as much as possible; at the same time let
four others stand round, two on each side.
one near the head the other at the feet
In this situation let all the five inhale az
much air as possible SO as completely to
initiate the lungs; then let the persons
standing, place one or two of their fin
gers against, or rather under the shout
ders, and the other under the feet of the
person laying down, and let all at the
same instant gradually let out the breath
they have inhaled, and while this is doing
the person laying will be raised by the
myers OF the persons standing, entirely
up horizontally one or two feet high, and
WIFI hoI mofe force or eXertlOn than would
be required to raise cork of similar
size The only difficulty in making the
experiment is merely that of causing all
the parties to act together; the person
laying is perfectly passive except that of
keeping himself stiff and gradually ex.
pelling his breath simultaneously with
the others. That all may act together, it
might be well that ali could act at sig
nal glven-any five persons can make the
experiment, and the body, it is stated to
US, will be invariably raised Several ex-
periments have been made here, and the
publisher of this paper has witnessed their
success. The cause or reason of the body's
being raised without the application of
more force, we pretend not to explain
The fact itself is matter of singular Gu
'losi.y, and is we'll worthy of examination. J.
