the Independence ofthe South-American
States-oihers were for recognizing The
independence of the Provinces at once,
and this course was proposed by Signor
Collin, the first speaker in the debate.
Several proposed to leave the question
TO be decided by the next Cortes. The
dispatches of General O'Donoju, giving
an account of what he had done in Mex
leo, and stating the necessity in which
he was placed of concurring in the
declaration of independence by Mexico,
was frequently alluded to in the debate.
1t apSears that the Generals dispatches
had been submitted to the Cortes by the
Ministers, but without explaining wheth-
er or not the Government approved
his conduct The debate lasted the
whole period allotted for the sitting,
and was adjourned to the following day.

LONDON, FEB. 7.
House of Lords. Their lordships met
to-day at quarter before 3 o'clock,
when, after little routine, Lord Liver
pool gave notice that he should to-mor-
row move the suspension of standing
orders.
The Marquis of Lansdowne said, he
understood the object of the noble
Lord, in so doing, was to carry the bill
for giving additional powers to the head
of the Irish government. He had read
The dispatches from Marquis Wellesley,
which had been laid on their Lordships'
table, and he considered that the Mar
quis Wellesley only required additional
military force He hoped that the no.
BILE Earl would not propose any measure
not required by the Irish government.
Lord Liverpool stated that the meas
ures he should propose had the sanction
of the Irish government, and that the
dispatches which he had received from
that government warranted the adoption
of them but those dispatches were of
nature which rendered it imprudent
to submit them topublick inspection.
Lord EllenboroDgh was of opinion that
the yeomanry of The north and Of the
south would be called out, as additional
military appeared to be required.
Lord Holland thought an increase of
military force necessary, but not any ad-
ditional powers. He should not agree
to the measure, unless he saw the des-
patches TO which the noble Lord al
luded
Lord King suggested the improperly
of voting so severe law as the Irish
insurrection act, without having before
them the documents upon which such
application was grounded.
Lord Liverpool admitted the business
of the observation of the noble Lord,
but repeated the necessity of withhold
ing the dispatches. Ministers took the
responsibility upon themselves.

BALAVCE LOCKS.

In the Spy of the 18th ult. noticed
an article which appeared originally in
the American Farmer, giving an ac-
count ofthe Hydraulicx Lift, or Balance
Lock, by means of which, boats are rails
ed and lowered from one level of Ca
nal TO another, and not only the whole
OF the water usually required for lock-
age is dispensed with, but considera-
bic portion of the expense of the locks
themselves is saved. At the same time
| furnished another account Of the same
Improvement, as used at the ElIesmere
Canal in England, extracted from
"Chapman's Observations on Canal
Navigation"
More recently have seen in the Ma
tional lntelligencer3 specification of
the same, signed by William KenwoFthy,
and by him deposited in the Department
OF State, for which he has, received a
patent, having affirmed, according TO
law, that he believes he is the original
inventor thereof.
Where a person has made useful
discovery, the laws have very properly
secured TO him, the exclusive privilege
of using it, for specified time, on con
dltion that it shall then revert to the
publiek. This is just; because, in max
ing his inyention publick, he gives an
equivalent fer the exclusive right. But
where man takes advantage of those
laws, to appropriate to himself the sole
benefit of an invention to which he has
no claim, and to which any other mem
Der of the community has an equal right,
it is an imposition which ought to be re-
sisted, the more especially when it is of
the importance Of the one now under
notice.
This improvement, precisely in the
form described in Kenworihy's specifi-
cation, has been used in England, as
stated in my former communication,
more than twenty years, and will prob
ably be found very useful in this
country, in the construction of Canals.
where more water is needed for lockage
than can be spared from mills. sc.
Any person wishing to make further
inquiries on this subject, is referred to
