FRANCE AND SPAIN.

Baltimore, July 81 The accounts
which we have received from france,
since the French troops Obtained posses
sion Of Madrid, venture 10 present US with
some statements on the Spanish side of the
question. Mirales, one of the generals OF
the Army of the Faith, has been surprised,
dictated. and put to death at Cervera, by
a detachment of the Constitutional party.
An action has taken place between the
constitutional general Lloberas, and de-
lacbment from the army under general
Donnadieu. commanded by Romogasa. in
which both parties claim the victory. Mi.
ma, by the last accounts. was retreating 10.

men. The French papers TEEN with re-
ports OF engagements, in which this gene.

ish nobility, a term that seems to represent
loyalty as psrtakins OF some of the pro.
perlies OF blister plaster. The Angou-
leme -created body, has appointed minis
tiers 10 foreign court. The question is,
will they be received and recognized as
such by any independent power II they
are received and recognized. that govern
meDt will recognize also the justice Of the
French invasion, and the right which one
independent nation has TO make laws and
constitutions for another. AT such high
handed act Of audacious despotism, we are
informed that the cOrtes are not daunled
in The least; that they do not entertain the
most distant idea of making concessions 10
the French, or Of recoe nizing the govern
ment established by them. % the con-
lrary. they are preparing to move with
Ferdinand TO Cadiz. On the other hand.

French papers themselves. How the oc.

of Regency, and The appointment of TO-
reign ministers, will serve to reconcile the
constitutional Spaniards TO the Angouleme

CINE. The French papers begin TO speak
now OF active hostility; but whenever there
is battle. il reaches them in the shape OF
rumor only-they are unacquaiated with
Toe details-they must wait for further adj
vices. Had there been French victory
IN these various encounters, there would
have been no such procrastination we
should have been treated with " long live
the king" acclamations, shouts, and exul-
tations IN abundance. (.Morn. Ctron.

With sdcn rsp.1,iy along the winding
channel was truling astonishing. lswas
witnessed by number Of persons.
At Kettle creek several men we're
drawing fish net in tho lake, when
suddenly they saw the water coming
t BON them in the manner abovemen-
t,oued; and letting 60 their net they
ran for their lives. The swell overlook
them before they could reach the high
bank, and swept them forward with
great force. but being expert swim.
mers, they escaped unhurt. The man
who was in the skiff, pullingin thu sea
line, was drove with it considerable
distance over the fiat, and grounded
upon small eminence until the water
subsidized. There were three successive
sweils. at Otter creek, and the effects
up the creek were the same, with this
difference. the water only rose feet.
10 both cases, the lake, after the three
swells, had spent their force, gradually
subsided and in about twenty minutes
was at it's usual height and tranquility.
Ii was observed at other places along
tho shore, but the high steep banks did
not admit of the same observation. In
all however, there was general corr
respoudence as to the height of the
rise.
Conjecture will doubtless be awake
as to the cause of this most remar kable
phenomenon bat it must only he con
jectured. for it was unattended with any
circumstance that could remotely hin,
at probable cause. Bot such was the
fact, and it must furnish its own COM

The following certificate will show the opin-
ION OF three gentlemen, who were present at an
examination of class, that had taken but
twenty lessons.
The undersigned. having witnessed the exam
ination of class in English Grammar Jnder the
tuition of Jur. Charles Green of this town, and
feeling desirous to promote the diffusion Of the
best principles of education, as well as to do an
act OF justice to Mr.. Green instructor,
deem il proper to state the following facts.
Mr.. Green instructs on the plan of Mr.. Inser-
soil Of New York, formerly a resident in this
State. He appears to be thoroughly acquainted
with the principles of the system, and applies
them with great facility and success. The ar
rangement Of this system is such that every prin-
ciple Of the study is explained from step to step
and made familiar to the understanding of the
pupil, and the mode of instruction 10 principally
by questions and answers.
he class, examined in our presence, consist
ed OF seven ladies. They had received 90 daily
lessons OF one hour each, and stated that they
had not devoted more than one additional hour
TO the study upon an, average each day, making
the whole not to exceed forty hours. Most of
them, when they commenced this course Of les
sons, were entirely unacquainted with the prin-
spies of grammar. They appeared to be
familiar with all the parts of speech and their
various notifications, could readily parse any
simple construction Of the English Language,
and answer the most difficult questions with re-
spect to the formation of the several modes and
lenses.
II appeared to US that the progress ofthis class,
for IA time they had devoted to the study, had
beeIrnuch greater than is usually made in our
schools under the ordinary mode of instruction,
and we cheerfully recommend to public patron.
sge both the system and the man.
