PHILADELPHIA, JAN. IS.

PHILADELPHIA, JAN. IS.
1t rarely becomes cur painful duty to
announce SO distressing a circumstance
as that which occurred yesterday morn
ing. That spacious building, reared by
the muniticence and humanity OF our fell
low citizens, THE ORPHAN ASY-
LUM, is reduced to ashes About
O'Clock, the Matron was aroused from
her sleep by some OF the children in the
adjoining room, complaining @! the
house being fall OF smoke. She and her
daughter Immediately got up, and OH
reaching the door leading to The cellar,
discovered it to be in blaze. She i'm
mediately fastened to the chlltlren's
apartments 10 assist them IN their escape
By the time this was effected, the interior
OF the building was enwrapt in flame
Nnt vestige Of this beautiful Edihce re-
nains, but cracked and tottering walls.
4 II that was under the roof CT combus-
tible nature has been destroyed, and near
~ one hundred Orphans suddenly driven
iroIa their benevolent Asylum entirely
destitute. From twenty to twenty-five
of these little. untortunates are still miss
ing, but it is confidently hoped they
escaped the fury of the flames, and have
received protection from some ofthe be-
nevolent neighbors.
Perhaps there never has been an event
In our city; SO strongly calculated to ex-
cite public commseration and regret |:
or which SO loudly calls for relief: and
we feel confident, that the mere state
ment Of the melancholy fact, will be a
sufficient appeal to the humanity and
generosity of our fellow citizens.
Contrary to the above hope and OK
pectation says the Daily Advertiser Of the
goth instant, szventy-three Of the poor
Orphans who were in the upper part of
the Asylum remain unaccountcd for, and
it is now believed they were suifocated
by the smoke and destroyed by the flames
Of the building.

that may be we'll to present to our read
ers: OF San Martin, We told, that he is de-
servedly favorite in Lima being placed
by the fortune OF war, at the head of
the late vice royalty of Peru, he has as
sumed the title OF liberator, and protector
of the Indians, and unfurled Peruvian
banner, emblamatical of her indepen-
dence, and the fabulous origin of the In
cas- from the sun. As head of the new
government, he has caused new coin
age and patriotic medals to be struck.
The latter commentaries the capture of
Lima by the liberating army under his
command, and the former display the
arms of Peru" of the interior of the
city of Lima, it is said, things are quietly
conducted. The male inhabitants were
enrolled, aud all classes of them, from
eighteen to fory-hve, compelled to do
military duty if required. The civicos,
or militia corps, known by the title OF
concordia, now guard the city for the pa
triots; and few perceptable changes
have taken place, except in the rulers,
and the condition Of the inhabitants, who
at last have been relieved from the mise
ry of a siege, the horror of approaching
famine, and elated by security and plenty.
When the last Information left Lima, no
exactions had been made; but requisi
lions must be rcsorted TO as a means OF
sustaining the governors, Or liberaNors,
until suchtlmes as system of requisi-
ton and taxation cafbe adopted, and laws
respecting impost, revenue and duties on
exports made, and regulated, in theirap-
plication and operation"
OF Catloa it is said, that" The be-
sicged proposed to surrender the fortress
on condition OF being allowed to retire
with their army, their property, the
honors OF war, and permlttedto JOIN Gene
raj Les Arnes, who retreated from Lima
when he evacuated that capital towards
Ciera Pasqua or Sierra Dorour, with an
intention to join General Ramercz at
Auquipa or La Peg. Les Arnes had
with him upwards of four thousand
troops, and Ramercz had as many more.
The patriots have great force, some
say, $4,000 troops. 1t is reported that
the royaiists had deposited treasures in
the forts at Callao worth three millions Of
dollars or more. General San Martin
and Lord Cochrane both wish to secure
that wealth. With these riches they
will be able TO pay the expense Of the ex-
petition to Peru, and provide themselves
with means adequate to pushing their
conquest or liberating plans into the
Islhmus of Darien, Mexico, and the Phi
lipine Islands, or to reach upon Chill
and Buenos Ayres."
Caloa held out as late as the l2th Of
September last.

LATE FROM SPAIN AND FRANCE.
CAARLEsToN, LAM. IS.

CHARLESTON, JAN. IS.
by the brig Philadelphia, Capt. Hall,
arrived last evening in days from Ha-
vana, we received from our correspon-
dent the papers of that place TO the l4th
inst. containing accounts from Spain to
the 25th November, brought to Havana
by the brig Bella Indio, in SO days from
ICadiz. The loose manner in which ex-
tracts are made in the Havana papers
from those of Spain, does not furnish us
with regular account of the state of af-
fairs In the Peninsula. We observe,
however, that the addresses have been
sent from various parts Of the kingdom
to Ferdinand, complaining in very strong
terms of the existing situation of things.
and demanding change of Ministry, &c.
Among others, there are memorials from
Madrid, from Cadiz, from Seville, and
from San Lucar.
A despatch from the Commandant
General Of New CASTLE, dated 9th Mo-
vember, to the Commandant General of
Cadiz, states that an attempt had been
made on the frontiers of Navarro and
Guipuzcoa, by French cmigrants, to
overthrow the new constitution; and, it
is stated that Merino was again tossing
about his sacrilegious torch"
We also observe an address to the
king Of Spain by the superior political
chief of Cadiz, in which, in downright
and plain terms, Ferdinand is told that
if he does not change his conduct, and
his ministers, Spain will soon be inyoIv-
ed in all the horrors of civil war:
Now, sire, now, bad advisers con-
duct your majesty to other dangers which
it is necessary to avoid. The ministers
OF your majesty, through your means,
provoke civil war. This would alrea.
dy have been the case in this province,
had no, been for the provident care Of
the worthy commandant Of the battalion

the team on the outside, rather than on
the inside Of the barrel. But have late
ly learned that this has been tried long
ago without success.-That when placed
on the outside, the animals stumbled
with their hind feet in the same way that
they did with their fore feet when placed
on the inside. Indeed l cannot see that
the plan ofplacing the team on the out
side possesses any advantage over that of
placing them on the inside, unless it can
be proved that they can walk better on a
convex surface than on concave one,
which think would be impossible.
On either plan, that is whether the ami
mails walk on the outside or inside, the
larger the wheel is the easier they can
walk, because there is less convexily or
concavity in given length Of surface.
In both plans the method of calculating
the power produced by any given weight,
is the same as in the inclined wheel, viz !:
the power is to the weight as the sine of
the angle of elevation is to radius. And
the angle of elevation is that of line
touching the circumference Of the wheel
exactly under the centre of gravity.
A chance is given to favor the weak
er animals that are worked within or up
on the verticle wheel, by tying them
where they will walk at less angle OF
elevation, as may be done on the inclined
wheel, by tying them nearer the axis OF
motions where they must necessarily
walk slower. The friction Of the verti-
