"Mantanzas, Dec. 3O.-Those pratt
calbands who have become the disgrace
and scourge of the Island, are, for the
present, restrained by the number and
vigilance of the forces sent by the U.
States and Great Britain for their sup
preston. but that they are only re-
strained and not extirpated, is certain,
from the fact, that few or none have
been captured, and that depoedations
have recently been committed on land,
by bodies of Is or 90 persons, by which
the foreign settlers on the coast have
been the sufferers. Their migratory
course of life, and the various points
of the coast which afford fine harbors,
& are, at the same time, distant from any
military post, or even inhabited dis
trict, renders their extirpation, by the
authorities of the Island, difficult, fnot
impossible; and the arming of mer-
chant vessels to resist the attacks OF
small boats, and the constant presence
of a naval force sufficient to prevent
the egress of larger vessels, appears to
be the only means of securing our trade
from their depredations, until the hope
lessness of their employment, or the
revival of Spanish commerce, shall
induce an abandonment of their des-
perate course of life.

US. Com. Agent"

made many valuable experiments on
the velocity of sound. He asserts that
the velocity of sound in a second is
equal to 1880 feet. In the middle Of
the year it increases, and is less at its
extremes. Ten feet per second is the
difference of the velocity in calm and
in moderate breeze, and OH feet per
second as the wind is in the direction
of the motion of sound or opposed to
it. For each degree of the thermo-
meter II feet may be allowed to the We
